The hardest goodbye: Why I left my kids {bbc.co.uk 15nov2017}
Nazifa is pregnant – she and Lateef already have two young children and live in a migrant camp in Greece.
The Afghan couple want their baby to be born in Germany but they only have enough money for one person to travel.
So they decide that Nazifa must leave her family behind and go alone.
“Do European Countries have the right to close the borders to refugees?” @4:20
– Watch this video – the refugees are using smugglers costing €3500.
– Where is the money from?
– Why Germany?
– On what grounds are they asking for asylum in Germany?
– When she gets asylum as a pregnant women she will ask for here family to join her at cost to Germany?
– Who has told her how to play the system?
Zimbabwe has been a God-forsaken country for years now so I am pretty reluctant to draw any parallels with the UK, even when they are drawn from the clear opposites of Zimbabwe’s corruption and poverty and our own relative openness, democracy and wealth, but here goes, from a Zimbabwean exile, as reported by Al Beeb –
“She said that any Zimbabwean under the age of 37 had only known President Mugabe’s rule and ironically it has been younger party members that have been supporting him.
That stunts the imagination.”
I blame our Leftoid schools and universities and their concentration on the odious, murdering, seemingly right-wing Hitler whilst ignoring the equally odious and greater murderer Stalin.
My sons A Level history course a few years back stopped dead on the Nazi Soviet Pact.
They returned to Stalin only when he`d won-and missed out his collusion and carve up of the East, as well as his catastrophic sleepwalking tactics, refusal to see the signs or even read Mein Kampf.
Or had he banned himself from reading it and forgotten to shoot his staff who`d told him?
Lessons presumably had been learned and now time to move on I`m guessing. Very Soviet.
“It matters not if 90% of the Russian people perish so long as 10% bring about a world revolution.”
It was he who set up the Cheka.
There is an excellent (sub-titled) film called “The Chekist” about the continuous executions carried out by the Bolshevik Cheka. It is very realistic and therefore pretty gruesome.
Got to recommend a World Service Documentary on “Illiberal Democracies” that was recently on-on iPlayer anyway.
A masterclass in lefty whining about Viktor Orban and what might the EU do to prevent him hoovering up again in next years election.
Apparently, he`s only allowing one view out from his controlled media. He`s underminng their youth with higher education and Guardian type poppets losing jobs in their “quality broadsheets”. And he`d rather not have George Soros run his countries migration policy, university and EU funded quangos, as well as the Roma Rights campaigns on the Romanian border regions.
Hate crime.
Oh-and no Muslims either, seeing as they`re Merkels and Macrons and not theirs,

Leading in with this statement
‘Robert Mugabe is the last of a generation of African politicians whom fought for freedom from the old colonial powers in this place Britain. That role assured him a place in the country’s history.’
I get the Impression they were trying to say whatever problems the country has now, it was much worse then…
Mugabe is also just one in a growing list of African ‘politicians’ who have siphoned off staggering sums into Liechtenstein and similar venues while bankrupting their countries through their ‘political’ expertise.
Who remembers that Nkrumah, the first African president of Ghana, having left what was then still our Empire with all due ceremony, bought himself a solid gold double bed from Harrods as one of his first presidential actions. Of course, others have since made this selfless gesture seem almost penny-pinching.
I SO love it when the BBC reveal their bias almost without realising it.
I switched on the bBBC news channel for the weather forecast.
The headline on the Tickertape was, in terms, ‘ EU concerned about apparent overthrow in Zimbabwe’.
Now whilst I am always delighted to see a Marxist tyrant who has destroyed his country’s economy come to the end, the question here is…..why does the biased BBC choose to prioritise the views of an unelected bureaucracy on the matter?
Well, except of course for the fact that they delight in and support that same bureaucracy!

Is this a waste of our money? IMHO those ‘artists’ should get a real job.
“Zimbabweans in London: ‘Today a comma not a full stop”
Roughly translated this equates to “There isn’t a hope in Hell that any of us so-called ‘exiles’ are going to leave the cushy number we’ve now got in the UK to return to the sh1t-hole we made of most of Africa”!
They’ll be even more “migrants” (i.e. unwanted Third Worlders) attempting to force their way into Europe and Britain, as more of these elderly African dictators are: deposed; die off or get killed.
Then civil wars break out in the countries formerly under their sway and those who are able flee.

Say what you like but it would seem that by whatever means, and I don’t much care how, Saddam and Gaddafi kept some semblance of order in the Mid East but they had to be removed, with the predictable results. The 9/11 hijackers were Saudis so we bombed Iraq. Makes no sense to me especially given the consequences which are now evident throughout the Western world.

That’s right. The nation is happier then ever since the referendum and to add further to that happiness the BBC has announced it is to make a 2 hour documentary in celebration of this joyous event. It will be an extravaganza featuring all the country’s top celebrities with comments and laughter from members of the public. The final half hour will be given over to a video called “Nigel Farage’s Greatest Hits” featuring the great man himself. I do hope you find time to watch!

Fair enough you might say, but this annoys me for two reasons, a good episode is consigned to the bin because of the despicable actions of one man, who’s appearance could be simply edited out. But the thing that annoys me the most are the double standards in that in earlier episodes The Special AKA made a number of appearances with ‘Free Nelson Mandella’ featuring a lead singer later convicted of kidnapping and indecently assaulting a 15 year old girl and assaulting another.
I do hope this wasn’t because the BBC didn’t want to miss an opportunity to remind us of their poster boy terrorist Mandella?

Anyone notice how reluctant the bBBC politburo is to criticise comrade Mugabe in Zimbabwe?
Yet it’s another economic triumph of socialism.
I mean, how many countries have had to abandon their own currency?
In 2015 the Zimbabwean dollar became extinct. Years of hyperinflation led to a worthless currency with people taking wheelbarrows full of banknotes to the shop just to buy a loaf of bread. So they decided to use the USD and grant legal tender status to the Pound, Aus Dollar, USD, Euro etc.
And what did we hear on the BBC about that aspect of Mugabe’s record in office? Not a word.
The BBC has supported Mugabe ever since his election to power. You have to remember the history of Rhodesia leading up to its independence and the end of white government assisted by Britains labour loons.
Harold Wilson forced Ian Smith into his UDI unilateral declaration of independence and Wilson made sure the UN declared sanction against them as a result.
Such opposition to Labour was never going to be tolerated by the BBC so naturally they naively proceeded on my enemies enemy is my friend basis.
During the BLiar years when every other country recognised the terror in the country Labour refused to allow White Zimbabwean dispossessed farmers to claim asylum in the UK – unlike every other nationality because Labour HATES white people.
It should therefore come as no surprise that like every other left in Left Wing Denial, when their schemes come to nought they simply drop them as if its nothing to do with them and let someone else clean up the mess while they get one with wrecking something else !

Such opposition to Labour was never going to be tolerated by the BBC so naturally they naively proceeded on my enemies enemy is my friend basis.
During the BLiar years when every other country recognised the terror in the country Labour refused to allow White Zimbabwean dispossessed farmers to claim asylum in the UK – unlike every other nationality because Labour HATES white people.
It should therefore come as no surprise that like every other left in Left Wing Denial, when their schemes come to nought they simply drop them as if its nothing to do with them and let someone else clean up the mess while they get one with wrecking something else !
