Technicality was the criminal should have been treated as refugee.
2007 arrives
2011 convicted of sex assault in 16 year old Jailed 18 months
Deportation order signed
Jan 2012- March 2013 held “illegally” cos Guinea refused to accept him
2014 jailed for other sexual assault
Oct 2014- June 2015 held “illegally” cos Guinea refused to accept him
2017 awarded £110K compensation.
So ‘Guinea’ are going to pay the bill?
The money should be held in a trust account until his victims take legal advice and sue him for compensation. If the judges insist on criminals being paid compensation (for anything) the money should be passed through to their victims. Eventually the message will get through that criminal will not see any benefit from such cases. The problem then will be how to screw their lawyers.
Perhaps this would be a suitable subject for Moral Maze.

Can anyone explain why the BBC had a story about the UK’s first ever Muslim pantomime on the News tonight? I await similar reports on Bhuddist, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh pantomimes.

Dubai’s grand plan to become a global technology hub {bbc.co.uk 07dec2017}
“Dubai has amazed the world recently with the hi-technology gadgetry it is adopting. Jeremy Howell looks at its plan to become a global tech hub.”
– Please note, they are not pushing for freedom of speech, freedom of thought … just want to be ahead of everyone when the oil runs out – but still totalitarian. Letting women drive will help their economy – which means why was it enforced before? It was a man made law not from the heavens. Did they have cars in 7th century?
Women have always been able to drive in Dubai, part of the UAE, so not sure what you are on about. The UAE may not be a democracy in the accepted sense, but it most other respects it’s a free and open country and I don’t think many locals are demanding any change.
Was mixing Saudi with Dubai. Both same sect of Islam?
Look North started 6:29pm covered the return of the Chennai 6
By 6:33pm they had moved to helping with breastfeeding in Hull, the example woman was from Czech Republic.
Did the Chennai 6 make the national news ?

Chennai 6 story not on the BBC News homepage
– The video is buried away on the UK newspage
There’s a proper headline on the Tyne & Wear page
That’s such a fantastic story …. 4 years captive in India… was sadiq khan involved? Over documentation?
Compare the traction these innocent British guys got on BBC compared to the Iranian woman…who actually went back to Iran knowing she had already been convicted there..despite her ‘not 🙂 working for the BBC’… but then again her husband is a “friend of the programme” – BBC breakfast..
When Boris Johnson appears on TV he should precede and finish his statements with the current number of political arrests – to give a sense of proportion. And possibly drop it into the middle of the sound bite so it cannot be edited out.

A Swedish investigation into migrants claiming asylum as children suggests that three-quarters of those tested were over the age of 18.
Sweden’s national forensic medicine agency checked the age of nearly 8,000 people and found that some 6,600 were 18 or over.
What a surprise.
I missed that story – it must have been one of those stories the BBC hide by placing it in an obscure location or rapidly making it disappear?
The BBC currently have as their lead story on their European News Section of their website:
EU to sue member states over refugees: The European Commission is to sue Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic at the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for refusing to take in asylum seekers. The commission, the EU’s executive body, accused the three countries of “non-compliance with their legal obligations on relocation”.

Mr. Jordan not happy with Mr. Hitchens there.
And I suspect Rob Burley not likely to get into a discussion with him any time soon either.
Not quite sure of the background to the TVL/Police bailiff raid, but it continually boggles my mind that supposedly trained officers almost never seem to have slightest clue about the legal backing for them acting as mob handed thugs to back up Capita salesmen on a rampage through a private house.

That’s more than could be scrambled if some hapless parent sends her kid to school with a Peppa Pig lunchbox.
This is a clip of a Channel 4 News discussion between Owen Patterson at the HoC and Alistair Campbell in the studio; at the end of it Campbell dredges up some quote about the Single Market which Patterson made at some point. The Indian presenter then tries to end it there and not allow Patterson the opportunity of replying, which he does manage but only barely.
It is as the discussion ends that you see the smug, self-satisfied Campbell turn to Jon Snow, sitting just to his left, who is smirking in his swivel chair at what Campbell just did.
I can’t think of many people in journalism I detest more than these two b@st@rds!

“Irish border: New draft Brexit agreement proposed”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42273941
“Irish hard border would be ‘obvious terror target”
https://news.sky.com/story/irish-hard-border-would-be-obvious-terror-target-11160320
Are we there yet ? Are we nearly there yet ?
‘obvious terror target’ by who? Has someone claimed they will attack it?
Anyone seen anything of new comedy drama series on BBC1 Love, Lies & Records penned by Kay Mellor. It has BBC Brainwashing and liberalist indoctrination throughout. There’s the portrayed “baddy” Registrar who is very straight traditional white woman who refuses to officiate a gay wedding until she is ordered to. Then there is the sex change registrar who announces at the team meeting that he is changing sex and the next day coming in dressed as a woman to the hearty congratulations of everyone in the team. We are then put through his/her ordeal that he/she suffers at the hands of his ex-wife. Then there is the obligatory muslim registrar who is so understanding and poses after the marriage of the lesbian couple where the “baddy homophobe” backs away from being in the happy couples picture. Then there’s the torment endured by the poor illegal migrant being hounded by Police and Registrars.
It makes me sick watching it but is so BBC indoctrination…drip drip drip normalisation of every BBC liberal value. Pretty much like watching stories they manage to unearth every night on the 6:00 pm news. Pretty much all of their documentaries these days are stuffed with their liberal values designed to brainwash the “captive” audience.
BBC is social engineering.
“By 2020, the BBC wants its employees to comprise 50% women, 8% disabled people, 8% lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people and 15% people from black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds.{bbc.co.uk 14sep2017}”
To which one can only respond with the heartiest congratulations for having wildly exceeded that final target already – judging from the current racial makeup of BBC presenters.
there going to have to sack an awful lot of lgbt people by 2020 then
sorry lgbtq++abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
ps I always wanted an MGB GT V8 but now I dont know wtf one is
Kaiser,
You could well be one for all you know. Or if you want to be.
Mark
From what I’ve seen and heard of the BBC output I would suggest that the straight white British male has quite a lot of catching up to do. Sometimes I look at the screen and think I must be tuned into Cape Town TV.
Lefty
I think the bBBC would regard SABC shows like Espresso (‘it’s your feelgood Breakfast show’) as too white !
8% lgbt.
Weird, all the surveys suggest 2-3% for which the proportion of martiages that are gay is a good pointer.
Another example of bBBC social engineering.
As for 8% disabled. Where the hell does that come from.?
Can we look forward to listening to bed-ridden incontinent presenters with severe dementia trying and failing to read the autocue in order to ‘be representative of the viewing public’?
Total w******.
But the thing is Hey, you couldn’t write anything of that quality.
You would get half way through and think, ‘Nobody’s going to believe that’, or ‘No, no policeman would be that fucking stupid’, or ‘No man is that pathetic’, or ‘But that just wouldn’t happen’. You’d probably want to write something to be understood and enjoyed without any real agenda, to sort of make sense.
These are thoughts that don’t seem to bother bBbc writers as they finish with another cliched and hurried twist at the ending, totally unconnected to the previous three hours of nonsense, and start writing the next formulaic melodrama as their one-off becomes a series.
Great to see a report on Look North about the lack of “Asians” playing professional football, there are going to be steps taken to increase the participation of this ethnic group in the national sport.
I will sleep so much better tonight knowing that something is to be done about this, such a relief and good to see al Beebus devoting so much time to covering it and spending the licence fee on investigating worthwhile stories.
I look forward to the increase in white men playing in our nations teams and the England squad, to match the national demographic.

Had a quick five minutes to spare before starting my evening shift, turned the TV on, saw about thirty seconds of this report and when one of the “Asians” mentioned the ‘R’ word quickly turned it off again in disgust.
Al,
Think of the ‘upside’: while they’re kicking a ball around they’re not bombing or knifing the Kafir or, God (the Christian one) forbid, complaining about a fictitious ‘hate crime’.
Many if not most BBC stars (who incidently are paid more than the PM), have uttered anti-Brexit comments.
Has any BBC employee, star or otherwise, uttered a pro-Brexit comment?
Views are their own.
Career progression in other hands.
And that’s how the BBC works.
Agree with the BBC narrative and they’ll pay you to appear.
listening to Farage tonight on LBC
he’s invited remoaners to comment on Shultz pre-announcing the United States of Europe (EUSSR)

““I want a new constitutional treaty to establish the United States of Europe. A Europe that is no threat to its member states, but a beneficial addition,” he said in a speech to his party conference.
Under Mr Schulz’s proposals, Brussels would be given power over individual member states’ foreign and domestic policy, as well as taxes.
Countries who refuse to sign up to a new federal Europe should automatically lose their EU membership, he said.”
I think I’ve just become a Remainer.
Automatically losing EU membership.
Mmmmmmm. I wonder if there would be a divorce bill.
Maybe we could stay in to get thrown out ! And save £40 bn in the process.
Instead of being played for saps.

Re Martin Schulz.
Did another German leader of a party with the word Socialist in it once have “Ein volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” on a poster sometime in 1938 ?
Seems like almost the same sentiments are being expressed again .
Kaiser
It’s not just that Schulz and others like him want to create a European Superstate, it’s the limitless arrogance of their ambitions for the Superstate in spe that is chilling. Sigmar Gabriel, the foreign minister has already said this week that Germany and Europe should adopt a more independent and self-confident foreign policy
“Either we attempt to shape ourselves in the world or the rest of the world will shape us”. “We should trust in France more and not in the USA”. The USA does not share our “European values”.,This summer Gabriel was out in Iraq handing out cash for influence as Mad Merkel also sees a greater role for Europe (i.e. Germany) as a peacemaker. There is also the idea that as a “moral superpower” Germany should be spending more in the middle east to further economic development and so prevent further millions of refugees heading for the Muttiland.
The EU – Germany by other means
The bBbc are at it again. They’re on The View on bBbc NI speculating and surmising that an Irish/EU agreement is imminent. To quote, ‘Could well be signed off tommorrow’.
Their sources? The same sources as Monday, RTE, the Irish Government and the EU.
If, maybe, perhaps, we’re told, what normally happens, usual language. No facts or documents and no representatives of anybody actually involved in the negotiations that may or may not agree a deal. Just another non-news talking shop of opinion masquerading as fact on the increasingly irrelevant bBbc.
Just switched it off, I wonder how the Hailstones are finding Life Below Zero?
And where is that t w a t MAY speaking to the british public and telling us whats going on, in.fukin.visible as usual letting the opposition control the “narrative” in beeb speak
Good question Kaiser, it seems to be par for the course. I don’t understand it at all.
really I am beyond despair with Sharia May jeez B.Liar pissed me off less
Kaiser – why do you think Trump uses Twitter? So he can bypass all these @ssh0les and get HIS message out, not their “interpretation” of it.
I have been giving this some thought lately, discussed it with others and I’ve come to the conclusion that one of the main reasons we are in the position where we are with the EU; is the fact that Cameron was allowed to leave his referendum promise unfulfilled: that if the country voted to leave, he would trigger Article 50 immediately.
It allowed the Remain and EU scum time to re-group and develop a strategy to attempt to de-rail Brexit. Camerloon should never have been permitted to resign without doing what he said he would do, that has acted against us ever since; the momentum was lost and has never been regained since.
I blame the Brexiteers in the parliament who didn’t drive home the advantage of the referendum win and the enemy were stunned, if he had been forced to do that then our position would have been so much stronger than the one which has been allowed to develop.
its a shame mp’s dont seem to be a committed to their past promises to the british electorate as they do to THEIR commitments to the EU
This is an excellent short article by Godfrey Bloom on the current state of play re Brexit.
https://going-postal.com/2017/12/brexit-negotiations/
My feeling is that tweezer will fight for a deal that cannot be had.
freedom of movement is the 1 condition of the single market.
This is why the Northern Ireland border is the main target where the eu can exploit us.
I believe HMG when they say that they can’t jeopardize the Union for the sake of the eu over borders.
I think that tweezer will get no further than Cameron when he tried for a different deal and she will resign.
The hope is JRM takes the reins of a WTO Brexit and all negotiations are ended.
If i am wrong i give up for this country as it will eventually be swallowed up the Federal Europe that is forming.
DBDoEG,
I’ve been studying the deals on broadband. I currently use (and have done for 4 Years) a radio contact WiFi access). Having been conned by the cable broadband suppliers over the years, making a decision on which to select is problematic: you accept that you will be conned but to what extent and how will only be revealed when you sign on. Then you are stuck with it for at least a year, perhaps more. Three: mobile wifi; 40Gb per month (£18) and 14 days to decide if the deal (and speed claimed) is for you? Yes, tick that box. Point being?
The Treezer deal with the EU will be a con (don’t you just know it just) but how, will not be revealed for perhaps years when our muslim leader at Number 10 has long gone. “It will only be a few thousand coming in from Bulgaria and Romania”; “Enough is enough” etc, etc. So the story lurches on, and on, and on. You get the picture.

“…the rise of Mogg is perhaps something you fear. It’ll be a gigantic leap to the far right for your liking.”
On the contrary, I would view it as an absolute gift if Mogg was elected leader of the Conservatives. The fact that you and his other supporters don’t realise why, just makes the possibility even more hilarious.
So who really cares where Israel says it’s capital is?
For years at school we always had to contend with the trick geography question of ‘what is the capital of Australia’. It was frustrating that it wasn’t Sydney but if the aussies want it to be Canberra, so be it. It’s their country.
So we have to be respectful or face jail if we call a man pretending to be woman a man, yet we are allowed to ignore a country when they tell us what their capital is?
Just another tedious bout of media losing their shit over something that most people don’t really care about.

You’re posting in the early hours. You never contribute anything. Why not give up and go somewhere else. I at least hope I tell friends here stuff they might have missed.

Still, the Vaz’ ongoing travails may see more time to explore other interests.
I’ve mentioned here before, about buying a Bartholomew’s Atlas for some forgotten reason when I lived in Saudi. Some Government official had opened up the cellophane wrapping and, in every copy, assiduously redacted out every reference to Israel including the index at the rear. The muslims hatred of Israel is established and cannot be denied since it it is even referenced in the cult handbook, the Quaran. In my view the POTUS was absolutely correct, there has been no peace since the US passed the legislation in 1995 and there is no sign that peace is likely. So, ‘move on’. How can there ever be ‘Peace’ between the muslim and others that inhabit this planet? So long as islam is active and requires cultists to follow the Quaran, Hadith and Sira, there never will be any peace.
Ever wondered why;
1. You’re on the wrong side of President Trump
2. You’re on the wrong side of a Conservative Government
3. You’re on the wrong side of Brexit
?
Posting does not get you anything. Especially of value.
Much like BBC broadcast-only ‘journalism’.

“Where else could I get such in-depth and thoughtful analysis of global news? “
You could stick with Al Beeb and post up some examples of its right wing bias.
I watched the Panorama documentary Jihadis funded by us. I came across it accidentally at 4am.being unable sleep.It is actually an exposé of how our taxes in the form of f foreign aid end up in extremist groups hands .
The free Syrian Army was mentioned and their many violent off shoots .In effect it sets out how there is very little scrutiny of foreign aid spending in lawless countries.The mealy mouthed foreign office has one excuse after another.
I knew aid didnt get to those who really need it ,but even the BBC managed to find a paper trail to extremists .
I hate the BBC ,but this was OK .but why is it not being shown in a decent time slot after Eastenders or something like these things used to be ?
Deborah – I think every now and again the BBC produces a semi serious piece of journalism in an attempt to and justify its ridiculous mantra that it is “fair and balanced” in all of its coverage. Its a bit like saying that because Jimmy Saville raised a few quid for charity it makes him a good man.
All good propaganda outfits occasionally will produce a balanced piece to hide behind but as we all here know “One swallow does not a summer make ” and one half decent piece of journalism certainly does not make a decent broadcaster.
And in this case quite the opposite because it shows they could do it if they really wanted to.
A broken clock is right twice a day?
R4…Could Laura Kuensberg..sound more negative about the agreement to move onto trade talks..anyone would think it had failed.
“Richard, you’re a friend of the show”
So says the BBC’s Naga Munchetty to husband of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe this morning as we have news that Boris Johnson is to visit Iran. Realistic commentators with some nous and a modicum of knowledge about Iran and their prior hostage-taking tendencies will suspect that either some cash ransom or other political concession from Britain will be offered to the Ayatollahs in Tehran in exchange for this hapless woman, who so the story goes, came a cropper on a visit to her parents. The editorial line taken by the BBC presenter was of course critical of Boris, awkwardly at this sensitive juncture once again reminding us of his apparent miss speaking as to the woman’s journalistic activities. The implication of Naga’s statement of friendship with Richard Ratcliffe tended to reinforce the perception that although she was more than chummy with Mr Ratcliffe naturally the BBC was no friend of our Foreign Secretary.
Do we think the Iranian foreign minister should waltz in here and summarily demand the release of prisoners of its choosing? I suspect, we don’t and we would tell the foreign minister that British justice should take its course.
This woman is a journalist hostile to the Iranian regime, although the BBC (with whom she has strong links) just describes her as a mother.
Sorry, I’ll read that again
BBC Business Live presenter at 8.30 tells us a little more than he intended…
“Brexit deal, but is it too little too late? We’re going to be talking to the head of the CBI*. Then we’ll take a break from fake news and talk about counterfeit goods”
Ouch!
*the head of the CBI is of course a well-known outspoken arch-Remainer
Theresa May identified mass immigration as one of the big problems in 2015 …. Theresa May did nothing.
Theresa May also used the words enough is enough after a terrorist attack …. Theresa May did nothing.
Theresa May said we are leaving the EU … Theresa May did nothing.

There is EU trade or WTO trade. Saying NO DEAL scares people, so better to say EU Trade or WTO Trade. See how it’s less scary than ‘no deal’ which sounds like failing.
The EU is an aggressive political force trying to expand via trade, immigration or economic destruction. It should be negotiated with on these terms … an aggressive bureaucratic political force.
Deep and special partnership with an organisation who ignore Theresa May when the Nation (52%) speaks out and say Enough is Enough ….
MM,
“Theresa May also used the words enough is enough after a terrorist attack …. Theresa May did nothing.” Not quite: she tightened up the laws, effectively covering Hate Crimes and speech designed almost solely to catch ‘the and I’ as perpetrators of the crime of feeling it is our right to say what we think and feel.
Yes – her action is worse than no action.
The BBC are obsessed with diversity. Why not ensure at last half their employees are right wing? Is that one of their official ‘diversity’ targets?
Beeb Bro
Do you really not know the answer to that question or are you just testing to see if we are all paying attention?
When I was in school we had a Maths teacher who after explaining to the whole class how to work out a problem used this method of testing, pointing to each pupil in turn
You understand Brown?
Yes Sir.
You understand Smith?
Yes Sir
Understand Jones?
Yes Sir
Understand what?
The bastard would catch me out every time.
Political diversity – I like it!
Orwell Corporation rule : Diversity = Conformity ………. (of thought)
And the BBC will be having a Jerry Christmas!
Jeremy Corbyn won an award at GQ which shows ladies in bikinis – but that’s not being misogynist or degrading. Here is the Indian GQ cover … did I mention Sadiq Khan won an award at GQ as well (not for promoting body modesty) …
Don’t you just love multiculturalism? Only blight on an amazing future, though, is those damn white people that foot the bill for it all.

‘Fraid its all ‘Part and Parcel’ for Londoners revelling in their multicultural diversity.
A bit of ‘integrity’ from the BBC? The heading from their web page has ‘First’ muslim pantomime comes to town, the inverted commas being theirs.
Of course we all know that we are living a muslim pantomime; we say Islamic terrorism and the BBC and the politicians shout “Oh no it isn’t!”
Connecting the BBC headlines on 08dec2017 – A deal over Brexit has caused snow to fall and a man to cement his head into an oven.
£3.5bn News Service …
Express : BBC 5live phone-in swamped with calls from Brexiteers raging at ‘dogs dinner’ Brexit deal
Orwell Corp now got heavily censoring Facebook comments
– They opened a post on a Direct-line commuting report, without linking to the report, so since DL didn’t even put it on their website I posted the link to the Daily Express story.
My comment was there ..then deleted after 2 minutes.
Then under their own facebook post on their phone-in, I posted a link to the Express story abut their phone-in, they deleted that as well.
“Man cements head inside microwave oven”
Well done!
How it looks when news is leaning conservative. Note the reference to England at the end. Someone seems to understand what is happening here. And hey! Who calls England England anymore? Someone in America it seems. Sorry if I’m spamming a bit with this long post but just skip over it if you aren’t interested.
“Supreme Court Issues “Unusual Language” As Liberal Circuits Get Well-Deserved Warning
Posted by Sam Di Gangi | Dec 7, 2017 | American Strength, Top Article
President Donald Trump got an unexpected but vitally important bit of support today from the Supreme Court of the United States of America (SCOTUS). According to facts obtained from the Daily Caller, the nation’s highest court “appears somewhat irritated with federal courts that have repeatedly barred” the White House from carrying out the law in regards to migration and travel.
SCOTUS is said to have used “unusual language” as they issue what the Caller labels “three clear signals” of their frustration. All three look like a massive win for Mr. Trump and his much-needed travel ban, too. This will be music to the ears of everyone who longs to keep terror out (or at least limited) in the U.S.
The first signal is seen in the fact that the court is showing that they do believe that the government is going to win this particular battle since the Constitution does not lay out migration as a states right matter. Rather, it is one of the few federal matters of which the states get little say.
Secondly, the court’s “order was forthright and terse.” This is said to be a sign that SCOTUS sees virtually no “ambiguity” in the law and that Trump is acting in 100% accordance with the Consitution. It is the states which are breaking the law if they are a so-called “sanctuary city.”
Also, only two of the nine justices are said to have “registered their dissent,” so clearly, the president is not doing anything out of line when he aims to secure our borders and limit travel from nations which have pledged to kill us.
Lastly, the order “instructs the 4th and 9th Circuits to ‘render [their] decision with appropriate dispatch.’” This is the “highly unusual” part of what they wrote in that it appears to suggest that they wish to “take the case themselves, and dispose of it as quickly as possible.”
Can it even be imagined why this haggling is taking place at all? It is not more important that we help everyone claiming to be in need when it means opening up Americans to terror and radical Islam. It may be what the left wants to see happen, but then again, that is why they lost the election.
Trump is America’s leader, not the leader of Syria. That means that he has an obligation to keep us safe here, not to go welcoming in everyone in the Middle East to come over so that those posing as refugees can turn out to (in some cases) to be Daesh terrorists. ISIS and other groups have promised to do just that, so it is not as if Trump made up the threat just to be fickle.
It is good to see the courts understanding this. Yes, certainly, the U.S. has a responsibility to help those in need. However, to make that happen, we need to make sure that proper and extensive vetting happens. Until that can be achieved (which is not the case now), it is best to lock the doors to some nations.
To take any other course of action is to end up like England.”
……”end up like England” OUCH! Our reputation is out there and it’s embarrassing! Those Yanks used to respect us.

“Dear @MartinSchulz, I fully agree (United States of Europe by 2025). This was also the title of my first book 🙂 http://amzn.to/2jqzu3z ??” – Guy Verhofstadt
– REAL ACCOUNT (but sounds like parody)
He agrees with … “Martin Schulz wants a United States of Europe by 2025 http://politi.co/2AhHeiB”
I have read the UK and EU agreement and it means that we are not leaving the EU. How come nobody sees that?
matahari
you are quite correct, no hard border means we are still wide open to mass immigration and the single market, under the thumb of the ECJ and still sending a few billion quid over the channel that never comes back. In essence we are still in and the vote has been ignored.
Matahari, your analysis looks correct, not only that we are paying a massive bung for the privilege!
It seems increasingly clear that Westminster has no respect for democracy, I think the only thing that will wake them up is for someone to organise a truly massive march on Parliament to demonstrate that “Brexit means Brexit”.
I am quite surprised at how quiet it is here. Are we in Shock? Remember this day 8/12/17..the day the referendum was officially ignored.
How can we be shocked the Quisling May has done what she always meant to do, its all just a charade to try and sell it to voters
I will be there for that march or Welcome Trump…..just not a social media animal….anyone out there know how to organise anything like a massive march – Mr Farage maybe?

Sorry. wrong song.
Doesn’t matter, Creedence were great.
“… there have been 551 asylum claims in Britain from people from other EU countries – like Poland and Spain. All but a handful were turned down – but they cost over £4 million to the British tax payer. So we will end this absurdity ….” – Theresa May – Oct2015 – @25:05
551 Asylum Claims @ £4 million?! (£7,259 per claim) Over 5 years
Asylum from Poland and Spain??????
No doubt, she ended the absurdity
“May laughed: “There’s no use trying,” she said; “one can’t believe impossible things. Like being In and Out of the EU!”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said Juncker. “When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
– Lewis Carroll’s thoughts on Brexit (Alice and Queen replaced)
Six large brandies perhaps.
BBC Have updated news on Schulz … but NOT on the New Federated Europe, which Guy Verhofstadt agrees with as well ….
BBC’s £3.5bn delayed and omitted news service paid under threat of prison ….
“Germany: SPD agrees to talks to end coalition impasse” {bbc.co.uk 08dec2017}
Mr Schulz had previously ruled out going back in to coalition with Mrs Merkel’s party
For all their talk of Britain First
… BBC/MSM = Europe-First
………… with absolutely no tolerance of purple-skinned people and only hate against them
Which is strangely not what Britain First are about according to this video
Why do people associate the’Right’ with the Nazi Party. This is historically completely wrong.
The Nazi Party in Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler was a socialist party. Hitler was a socialist in both thought and deed. His pre war policies were all socialist by nature.He would today be a Corbynite. He even studied Hinduism and peace! He was an arty lefty. He failed to get into Art School so became a psychologically deranged, anti capitalist lefty murderer instead. Like Corbyn he’d never had a proper job. Like Corbyn he was an anarchist and thought like an immature perpetual student.
For Adolf Hitler read Jeremy Corbyn.
For BBC read intentionally socialist and ignorant
Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist rhetoric.Sounds familiar to the Labour Party today.
In Hitler’s youth he was amember of the National Socialist German Students’ League
The name of Hitler’s Nazi Party was formed from the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. My oh my, there is that word ‘socialist’ in there.
When will the BBC start to correct their lefts from their rights?
I’m open to other opinions, but that video does make the whole of mainstream look like the intolerant, evil and manipulative ones, which exactly the opposite of what you’d expect.
Police have no money – Paint a hate crime car, monitor the internet for right-wing conspiracy, have big festivals and lots of protests managed by the police force. More diversity.
The NHS is on the edge (again) – Immigration up, health tourists up, BBC ‘Charlie from Casualty’ is paid £400K to pretend to be a nurse for 1 hour when he could be replaced with 11 real nurses (£35K) doing 35 hours a week.
Housing is not affordable – yet Jeremy Corbyn had 34 years to sort Islington out and ‘Islington performed near the bottom of the distribution on wellbeing, environmental quality, housing affordability and safety.’ (NatCen sep2017)
London is Open – but Mayor does not want President of a democracy and largest economy to come to the UK.
Brexit means Brexit – but what I mean by Brexit might be different to what you think I mean as I say Brexit.
BBC Are explaining that leaving the EU is like leaving a shared flat. @0:16 the presenter then says that the comparison is “A tiny bit like that” – which would suggest if it’s a tiny bit like it, it’s not like it at all.
BBC £3.5bn for a tiny Brexit explaination that does not work …
Why would the UK pay to leave the EU? {bbc}
