    Who do the BBC think they are to dictate over Trump’s planned visit?

    I pay my Licence Tax. I want to hear both sides.

      You could probably get arrested for saying you support Trump, seeing as they believe that mere association with a thought, sorry ‘hate’, criminal renders one guilty.

    They say ‘May hits out at Trump.’ No – they bullied her into ‘condemning’ his Tweets. If she did otherwise she would be a thought criminal.

    How can anyone’s ostensible opinion mean much when we know so many opinions are illegal? Of course May agrees with the bullying liberal elite – she has no choice. It is like raping a girl then boasting that you get laid.

    Net migration falls after Brexit vote {bbc.co.uk 30nov2017}
    “Net migration fell by nearly a third to 230,000 in the year to June, new figures show.”

    . . . .

    “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.”

      I shan’t hold my breath waiting for the BBC to examine the truth behind those bogus figures. A stroll along almost any London street, or any in the Midlands and Northern cities, will soon tell you that governments have been lying to us about immigration for decades.

        It would seem that two years have passed with ‘immigration too high’ and nothing was done ‘So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.’.

        Guido had a piece mocking Katie Hopkins who has been “let go” by the Mail on line. It had hundreds of comments, 99% of which called him out as being an establishment suck-up. It seems he did not like it, so has cowardly disabled comments on this issue.

      The President Trump retweets are the best thing to shake up the snowflakes, ruffle their petty little prejudices, and let Britain go ahead on defeating the cancerous islam murdering pogrom.

      Theresa can learn from her mistake, and start doing what true Brits want – immigration control to a trickle or even less, and a strict order against terrorist murderers that they have no life here, and definitely never another one anywhere else.

I love European cultures – how about some Italian stories or Polish stories ?

      It’s the liberal’s genetic mutation of ‘turn the other cheek’. The more hatefully a person or group behaves, the more the liberal mind seeks to ‘see its point of view’ and appease it. They even manage to do the same with out and out nut cases like fatty from North Korea, or historical monsters like Mao.

      The point about the BBC’s geographical blindness is well made, too. As I have commented before, why, every week, are we subjected to a feature on the Corporation’s ghastly ‘news’ website titled ‘The week in Africa’? Does nothing ever happen South or Central America?

    I am listening to less and less of the BBC – hence less posting here. But I turned on the radio this morning (Thursday) Radio 4 for 2 minutes. A drama about a Lithuanian Locum. This was near its end and 10.55 am and I guess it was part of Woman’s Hour. But the script was going on how marvellous the NHS was; how wicked the patients were for refusing to see the Lithuanian locum with very good English. The script was poor – reminded me of what school children in possible the 3rd form(or what 3rd formers were capable of 40 years ago) as the actors were unable to deliver lines as though it was an advert, the message was slapped on with a trowel. I couldn’t even stand leaving it on whilst I waited for the news. I just switched off.

        Heard it as well Al,

        The American, Eddie Murphy(?) was like something from central casting, less the comedian, more the joke.

        I don’t know how the bBbc can justify having a prick like Sam Tarry on. Hope not Hate apparently. Sam, sounding as affected and pukka as Jamie Oliver, both serious and thick, but in reality former chair of Young Labour and is/was a spokesman for Momentum. I believe that born and bred in London he now lives in Brighton, that cosy bubble of sterotypes. Cliched twat and general gobshite who had the temerity to label others as fascists, I have no idea why his opinion on this subject matters in the slightest.

        I used to derive a certain pleasure from venting at Vine but it’s just become a joke. Three separate pieces concerning Islam and we don’t have an issue with this religion. Ffs, they really do think they’re the clever ones you know.

        Oh well, that’s me finished with Radio 2 then. I feel better already.

    Trump is completely correct and I wish we had some like him over here.

    No wonder Donald tweets, every MSM outlet is against him and manipulates anything he says. It’s the only way he can get a true message out. If the MSM were honest he wouldn’t need to tweet.

        May was only able to spout her twaddle about IS being defeated or on the ropes because TRUMP…not her, not Fallon and CERTAINLY not Hussian Obarmy…has had the good sense to get some REAL soldiers to clear IS out of the Jordanian/Syrian border. Her pathetic efforts to be the big school marm in her failing, rioting Trojan Arse school is a joke-but her attached press pigmies still spitball and pass little notes to each other as Big Don is left to sort their mess out for them.
        To hear Robinson ask Mighty Ann Coulter about “alienating allies and friends of Americas”…”special relationships” “and the difference between a Dutch born Muslm thug-and an imported one.”..well, how many angels on the bald head of a prick pin can you fit, my Liege?

    The likes of Hannan, Farage and even dear Melanie are weekend rebels who think that the Left will spare them.
    This is a big issue because its so obvious what is going on, and our erstwhile spokespeople are running off home for their tea.
    You either back Jayda, Tommy, Paul and Ann-or you`re unable to find the deepest roots that bedevil this story. About time WE slavishly backed Trump right or wrong in the face of Lefty BBC attacks.
