Britain’s standing in the world has been reduced [BBC fact] and we may lose our place on the International Court of Justice the BBC informs us….the unspoken term? #duetoBrexit. Note in the video Dimbleby once again denying that the BBC uses the term ‘inspite of Brexit’ or other forms of implying that. Charles Moore also got similar treatment….and Guido has helpfully listed many examples where Moore and JRM are proved right and Dimbleby wrong.

Brissles – The first shall be last and the last shall be first (Matthew 19:16–30)
Thats the important stuff out of the way – Got to say that smug, elitist little bar steward Dimblebore had me shouting at the pc now. The number of times I have lost count hearing that superior sounding newsreader on R4 giving some piece of economic good news and the adding the “despite brexit” rider. You just know that what she really wants to say is when it all goes wrong it will be your fault you horrible little proles.
As for that snivelling little creep dimblebore – he really thought he had made some sort of really clever point because JRM had not written down the exact time and date of the numerous occasions that then BBC had come out with this – He actually thought it was quite funny that JRM was concerned about it.
Still I guess this brilliantly sums up these elitists view about the rest of us . Democracy maybe should only be given to the very best of people (such as the BBC) lest it becomes a tyranny! And if the the “right sort of people” do not like the result they can use any unfair method they want to undermine it.

Most people polled say Arabs have failed to integrate, and support racial profiling against them by police {theguardian 25sep2017}
The scale of hostility in Britain towards Islam and Arabs is revealed in a YouGov survey showing most UK voters believe Arabs have failed to integrate themselves into British society, and their presence has not been beneficial.
– Interesting the article spells ‘Islamophobia’ as ‘Islamophopia’ in one place.
Asked if migration from the Arab world has been beneficial to the UK, only 23% agree, 41% say it has not been beneficial and 32% say it has been neutral. Asked if Islamophopia is a growing issue in the UK, 72% agree.

Excellent wording using ‘groomed’, it is the word used incorrectly by the BBC to describe the following …
They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators. {Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham – 1997 – 2013 – Jay OBE –pdf}
.. along with words ‘Divorce’ which really means ‘Demand’!
Political language, which, according to Orwell, “is designed to make lies sound truthful (Divorce) and murder respectable (Grooming), and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. (Divorce Bill)”

BBC Still likes the word ‘Divorce’ rather than ‘Demand’ … Brexit divorce bill (would demand be a better word?): Theresa May to hold ‘inner cabinet’ talks {bbc.co.uk 20nov2017}
But there has not been much of a breakthrough so far, with the “divorce bill” proving to be one of the key sticking points.
Part of the problem for Theresa May is that while the EU wants the UK to offer more money, some of her MPs say this would be unacceptable and that the UK should just walk away and leave.
– BBC uses divorce all over the place, why not replace with demand? Or invoice with any substance or detailed list of items?

I think the problem for our Prime Minister is that some of her MP’s want her to just walk away and leave but our state broadcaster wants us to remain in the EU, giving them quite an advantage with their daily drip,drip,of subtle and not so subtle pro EU propaganda. Perhaps the best course for Mrs May would be to say if no agreement is reached by a certain specified date she will indeed walk away and let the chips fall where they may. I personally look upon the European Commission as the equivalent of the Mafia.They seem to run a protection racket but it is a protection you cannot refuse. If you DO refuse and try to leave the organization, something rather nasty will happen to you. All very sinister.

The Beeb pushed the narrative that our supposedly weak government was detrimental to Brexit negotiations, yet is silent about the fact that the Germans cannot even form a government.
I read yesterday that the media has crossed the Rubicon and can never be trusted again, no matter how hard they try to silence ‘hate speech.’ And trying to silence certain platforms will only make them cooler and more attractive.
Trust is like a vase: it can be pieced together again if it is broken but it will never be the same again. Clegg was rightly punished by the electorate for his disgraceful lie about tuition fees. I am sure many feel equally insulted by the BBC’s treachery.
That poor girl Gaia Pope may have committed suicide; she was suffering from PTSD after an attack by a ‘group of men’ who were due to be released from prison. We know one ‘group of men’ who tend to be especially attracted to young blonde girls. This might be another one for the Ministry of Truth’s gargantuan memory hole.

Then asking the question “Is it far-right?”
“Yes” is the answer apparently! The reason from the Beebs view point is mainly due to its anti mass illegal immigration stance, which is pretty much the same as socialist Czech President and Slovak Prime Minister, erh….
But the most slippery part of the article is how it tries to link Nigel Farage/UKIP via the AfD to a “far right” political block.
“They sit in the same political family as France’s far-right National Front and Austria’s far-right Freedom Party – as well as the populist, anti-Islam Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) of Geert Wilders. Nigel Farage, former leader of the UK’s anti-EU party UKIP, took part in their election campaign.”

How can someone face no action?

Surely this should have read that the three will have no further action taken against them, or three people are no longer under investigation, or suspicion.

How can you arrest someone on suspicion of a murder when you don’t even know there’s even been a murder ? She could have just run away at that point, and as it turns out now she wasn’t murdered.

Nick had a softball interview on Today this morning with Tina Brown, the uber liberal editor of Vanity Fair back in the 80s, and wife of Dame Harold Evans.
Apparently Tina is publishing her diaries from the 80s (not that we have advertising on the BBC, oh no no no). Most of the “interview” was her being nostalgic about all the high end advertising glossy mags used to get back in the day. Then Nick thought he’d ask her about “Trump”. Perhaps to his surprise, she thought he’d be re-elected. They both then seemed to go into shock at that thought, and the advertorial dribbled to an end.
Just another day in the office at Today: a free advert for a rich liberal, and a passing sneer at Trump. The right wing bias must be out there somewhere…

I started posting on this site about five years ago I think. For about twenty years before that I had been growing more and more angry with the left leaning bias of the BBC. Even in the 80’s I was becoming suspicious of the true motives of the BBC . They seemed to favour the IRA over Brits and they seemed to disapprove of our regaining the Falklands. But in the past five years their bias has increased dramatically and has now penetrated just about every aspect of their output, from news to drama and through to documentaries. The majority of their programmes are unwatchable , overwhelmed by political propaganda. Clearly they believe their mission is to campaign relentlessly for the leftist world view and to stifle any other view. They suppress, they distort , they mislead and they lie . They are the biggest purveyors of fake news in the world. They disgust me. I am certain that the very first step that must be taken in order to save the country from becoming initially a socialist basket case followed shortly by an Islamic hell hole , is to get rid of the BBC and its 24/7 fog horn propaganda.

Cities fight to win key EU agencies from London
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42050742
BBC trying not to gush too much…
How come the EU can plan for its future like this, but UK seemingly cannot negotiate and sign any trade deals until AFTER we have left?
Or am i missing something?
”A decision on the future location of two key European agencies will be made on Monday through a complex voting process.
London is losing the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) because of the UK’s decision to leave the European Union.
Nineteen cities are bidding for the EMA, while eight want to host the EBA.
More than 1,000 people work for the two agencies in London.
Ministers from the 27 EU countries remaining in the bloc after the UK departs in 2019 will take part in the secret ballot.”
Sophisticated BBC then wheels in their new favourite expert:
”UK betting company Ladbrokes makes Milan the favourite to win the medicines agency, followed by Bratislava and Amsterdam. It has Frankfurt – which produced a glossy video – as the frontrunner for the banking authority, followed by Vienna and Dublin.”

Because that is the legal framework of the EU which our idiot politicians signed up to. You can enter into any kind of discussion, but not finalise it until we leave.
It is understandable that the EU wants to relocate its agencies back inside its area, but what you haven’t picked up on is how few there are, and the fact both have been placed in the most expensive place in the UK. They could have made a damn sight better use of their buying power locating them in the poorer cities crying our for jobs and investment, but then EU fat cats couldn’t have an easy night out in Soho.

A great many comments on here compare and contrast the BBC’s attitude and presentation of what is the major world problem of Islam and Islamist atrocity. What gets similar yet an even less critical degree of BBC coverage is currently Africa and the Mugabe/Zimbabwe scenario, yet there are many other examples from recent history equally capable of critical analysis.
Mugabe, his politics and his political opponents are presented as though they are, if tentatively, democratic. In fact they are tribal, as is all African politics. Tribalism applied in every conflict in Nigeria, Biafra, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Ruanda, Namibia, the list is endless because it applies universally – in fact with the exception of the northern coastal area, Africa is a continent controlled and scarred by tribal factions, confrontations and contests and has been for centuries despite the best efforts of David Livingstone and his ilk.
The BBC fails to make this plain because, of course, tribalism suggests backward behaviour and an immature failure to embrace Western values. African politicians embrace Western values all right, they just don’t like the responsibilities that go with them.

Our country has been turned by the left into some weird decadent, Caligula type society where every weakness/distortion/deviation from the commonly acceptable norms has become a thing of virtue.
This bizarre PC obsession is turning police forces into a laughing stock. How can you do what is a difficult job when criminals do not respect you. I wonder what sort of copper a North London liberal would like to come to his rescue if he got attacked by a thug in the street. A large burly bloke with tattoos and truncheon at the ready or some effete sensitive constable (looking like Conchita Wurst) in stilettos and a blue cocktail dress who is more as concerned about what life experience has given the street thug so much hostility than protecting the victim.
Actually dont answer that if he was a BBC executive he would probably go for copper No 2 particularly if he had his truncheon out!
I would never be hostile to a transsexual – but it does not mean I would want to dress like one. Yet again this is just another blatant example of the left trying to weaken and undermine the very fabric of our society by using “sensitivity to minority issues ” as cover.

The deputy leader of the far-right group Britain First has been charged over speeches made in Belfast.
Jayda Fransen, 31, was arrested in London by Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) detectives on Saturday.
She has been charged with using “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour”.
The charge relates to a speech made at a “Northern Ireland Against Terrorism” rally at Belfast City Hall in August.
Ms Fransen will appear at Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 14 December.”

“The deputy leader of far-right party Britain First has been arrested in England by the Met police acting in liaison with PSNI in relation to speeches made at a rally in Belfast. The arrest relates to speeches made at the “Northern Ireland Against Terrorism” rally at Belfast City Hall on August 6.
The rally was organised in part by independent unionist councillor Jolene Bunting and among those who spoke at the event, alongside Ms Fransen, was Britain First leader Paul Golding.
Jayda Fransen, 31, was arrested by police in Bromley, London, on Saturday and is to be flown to Belfast to be interviewed by detectives.
Counter protests were held over the rally, which many accused of “promoting a dangerous ideology”.
A PSNI spokesperson said: “A 31-year-old woman has been arrested by PSNI Criminal Investigation Branch detectives in London today.
“The arrest was made in Bromley by PSNI detectives working with detectives from the London Metropolitan Police Service.
“The woman is being brought to belfast to be interviewed under section 9(1) of the Public Order (NI) 1987 in relation to speeches made at the Northern Ireland Against Terrorism Rally on Sunday 6th August this year.”
Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen are currently on bail awaiting trial for allegedly inciting religious hatred.
The charges against them relate to the trial of a group of men who raped a teenager above a takeaway in Kent.”
Anti-terror and anti-child rape = Far right. Got that class?

Is there a video or a transcript of Jayda Fransen’s unlawful speech on line? I would be surprised and disgusted if she called for the killing of anyone. That kind of language is usually reserved for our human imports.

When did the usual polarity become reversed? Time was when the likes of Kier Starmer and Shami Chakhrabati would have started as MPs before going into loaded areas like law and quangos. Seems to me in recent times that Labour finds these public sector faces and then picks them for safe seats or to do their dirty work for them in the Lords.
And what kind of country are we when our quango queens and grievance mongers are far more politically charged and primed than are our politicians?
Has the “right” EVER had a consistent clear media profile in our lifetimes?
Thatcher probably thought that reason and money would tame the left, but they re desperate for money, power and influence-and will stop at nothing to get them, seeing as they can do damnall else. She seemed a bit naive about evil and how it operates.
We lost the culture wards both sides of the Atlantic in the seventies. The elites need to be terorised in the public square as we have been.
I was on the other side until the mid 90s, so can see hoe clueless the Tories are. They don`t want to fight, but that means that we will have no other choice.

Cloward-Piven Strategy, something readers might not have heard of, but that they need to clue up on.
“Cloward and Piven had determined that many people in the U.S. were eligible for welfare, but were not receiving it. They believed that if all these people were to apply for welfare all at once, the local welfare offices would be overwhelmed and the states would be threatened with bankruptcy.
In advocating such disruptions, Cloward and Piven were making a deliberate attempt to incite racial, ethnic, and class tensions, setting whites against racial minorities and middle class liberals against working class immigrant groups. This would weaken the already fragile New Deal liberal coalition and threaten the Democratic Party politically, which would cause the Democrats to institute a new welfare scheme in an attempt to maintain the cohesiveness of their coalition (and thus remain in power). ”
In a more modern context mass migration puts such strain on the government finances that the welfare state which people have become reliant on collapses and the old order is overturned in favour of a new Socialist one.
The fact that Socialism is bound to fail, and has never worked wherever it has been tried seems to have escaped the vision of the authors.

Anticipate endless efforts by various folk who depend on the BBC to say how the BBC is great, citing BBC polls (even old ones, amazingly re-released as new) to support various beliefs and speaks for the nation.
It’s a broadcaster, you weasels. It is not essential. And not necessary in this form in this new era.
It is a tax sink money pit to give the dishonourable members a nice little propaganda tool on the backs of those it is being used against, staffed by too expensive to fail pension pot addicts and ideological kindergarteners.
Sadly, having watched the last of these efforts where the Tory Mr. Whippy Chairman intercepted a sensible point about BBC editorial accountability on the basis they had run out of time (metaphors abound) having allowed hours of waffle from BBCphiles old, new and awaiting knighthood, I have long understood it is a stitch up from bunker to top floor of W1A across to Westminster.
However, the days of such cosy cabals prevailing are coming to an end.

My view as well. I skimmed through the contributions and it appeared that the speeches had been written by BBC staff. In fact, minus the personal abuse, they could have been written by Maxicony
Conclusion – to achieve reform of the BBC will require a new Parliament. One where the MPs are not under the control of the state broadcaster.

There’s actually nothing wrong with the phrase ‘Train Station’. Train comes from the French word ‘trahiner’ or Latin ‘trahere’ which means ‘to pull or draw’. Train is an accepted word in the UK rail industry. The word ‘train’ is actually defined in the Railways Act of 1993.
I would draw the line at anyone using ‘railroad’ in a UK context though!

I like the fact that the Russian word for a railway station is “voksal”. That’s because the first railway station a Russian delegation to Britain saw in the 19th Century was Vauxhall, and they got the idea that that was the term for every railway station.
I must say, I find that “train station” does grate with me, almost as much as starting every sentence with “so”.

I remember before the referendum regularly using the divorce analogy to get across our reasons for wanting to leave and how to frame the actual leaving if it happened. I was always poo poohed on doing that because it wasn’t a marriage that we were in, it was a partnership.
Nobody wanted to use marriage before because that implied collective decision making, a shared outlook and affection towards each other. And they were right, it wasn’t a marriage, it was a one sided bullying relationship replete with threats from our ‘partner’ that if we left no one would love us, no one would talk to us, we’d never make it on our own and we would be lonely for ever more. The kind of language that if it was uttered by a spouse would be more than enough reason to understand how toxic the relationship had become.
Yet the Beeb now love framing it with that narrative. Suddenly we are the cheaters, the home wreckers and hence we have brought upon ourself this punitive sum that just HAS to be paid even though it was never, ever part of the deal. Suddenly we were in a relationship, suddenly we have commitments and responsibilities as if the remaining EU countries are our children that cannot be left alone.
The word Divorce implies blame and the blame is squarely levelled at the stupid British public who voted for it. Hence they can proclaim with glee that we are getting rightfully ‘hit’ for leaving our family and shirking our responsibility. Suddenly the BBC can frame the EU as the ‘victim’ (something they love doing) and we are the consummate bad guys that deserve to be financially and emotionally flogged.

Whilst I appreciate the double standards it’s not a divorce – in a divorce both parties receive a chare of the assets, and what are we going to receive from the EU. Even in this insane country which has the most biased divorce courts in the world, and where women travel from all over to take advantage of that bias, Men still walk away with a share of the marital assets.
The issue the EU has is that it is desperate to fund its budget which it doesn’t want to tell Eastern Europe it’s not going to get as much as promised, nor the contributors that they will have to pay more. It is the EU which is over a barrel here not us in the UK.
What we are being asked to do is to hand over a huge chunk of money before the EU will even talk about a free trade agreement.
The reason they want to do this is because their rules preclude any country getting a better deal than another unless it agrees to future funding, so we are stuck with WTO rules unless we agree to pay them.
Even if we do agree to pay them the EU has to get any trade agreement past the remaining 26 members which is a non starter.
Why are we not being told all this? The BBC certainly know this and it would take an insane person to agree to give hundreds of millions of pounds in exchange for nothing.
The mythical better deal simply doesn’t exist – at least not without the UK being ass raped by the EU and that for most people is a deal far too far.

Payne/Thful – In effect it is a marriage but a very one sided one. What started as a business partnership only – through the Machiavellian manipulations of lying and cowardly politicians has changed into an abusive relationship. If you look at it closely it has become a marriage under “sharia” rules where only one side is allowed to make the decisions, punish the lesser partner if they think they have deserved it, the lesser partner is always expected to “please” the husband at his whim and divorce is practically impossible. And even if achieved the wife will come away with very little and be shunned.
And of course if any sort of “honour killing” takes place – no one in the “family” saw anything.
And why are some people so desperate to stay in this destructive relationship?
Some are just greedy troughers, some are weak and feeble with no pride and some are just sad masochists who want to feel guilty about everything and enjoy playing the victim in all things even if it affects us all.
You all know the sort of thing – East Enders style “Ooh that Michel , hes such a bastard to me – but I cant help loving him!”

“… then a really distressing incident happened. A women who was carrying a small baby began crying for help (photo of lady carrying baby).

She ended up on the railway lines (by the male refugee dragging her and the baby to the floor, but this is not said) with the riot police trying to pull her back, and this of course inflamed all the other people…”

BBC very keen to promote the misinformation that Merkel’s popularity remains enviably high – inferring that our politicians, they mean Treesa, would give their eye teeth for such adulation. Sadly, German polls, the valid ones that aren’t created at Guardian, ‘Independent’ and W1 newsdesks, tell a different story but that might suggest the EU hegemony is not displaying strong and stable government.

Has anyone noticed the parallels between the characterisations on the BBC adaptaion of Howard End and certain modern narratives beloved of our state broadcaster?
We have a very rich person (boo, hiss) who runs a business and has a direct style showing, mostly, an accurate understanding of the human condition.
We have a lower working class person who works as a clerk and has some cautious ambition to do better.
These sound like classic and modern working class Tories to me.
And then we have the Schlegel family (cheers, hoorah). They are very intellectual, metropolitan, live on money provided by others, and seem to feel a strong sense of entitlement as none of them has a job, nor seems to be looking for one, But we are supposed to admire their ‘free spirits’ and feel sorry for them because the money is drying up and they are having to downsize. Oh dear, how sad.
How very modern day leftmob Corbynista.

I went and saw a bit of bard last week – correiolanus ( spelling – tired ) . The lead was black – fair enough – all races represented – tick box – including a black girl who forgot her lines – but there were male characters portrayed as women and probably visa Versa.
Now I hope it gave the people involved a warm feeling of inclusion. I had no idea before seeing this play what it was about . Hard to follow made even worse by this adhesion to diversity where common sense might have been better. The a level kids in the theatre were to busy to notice as they were all off the face book and twittering. Wonder what the bard would of thought.

This ‘bias by decibel’ as I call it has been a notorious BBC ploy for many years. It happens only with Conservative speakers and others the BBC producers do not favour. I remember some 15 years ago noticing that, when interviewed, John Redwood’s voice was always strangely muted and at low volume, whilst Humphreys voice (or another) was at full volume. And this is carried forward in the same way with him and many others who the lefty, vile and biased BBC consider shouldn’t be heard. Of course, they are well aware that this trick can serve to diminish in the minds of the listener the authority of whoever is being interviewed.
