    BBC News seems ever more obsessed with not the place the first ‘B’ represents:

    Tyler Haire was 16 when he was arrested for stabbing his father’s girlfriend. He waited nearly four years in jail, without a mental evaluation, before his case could be heard in court.

    The is the story of the US teenager locked up without trial.

    (via BBC Stories)

    And perps over victims.

    Never thought I’d write this but I agree with comrade Owen Jones – fifth columnist for the al Beeb in print – the guardian who is objecting to sir Nicholas cleggs’ knighthood – obviously his objections are no where like the same as mine ,he think Clegg promising not to increase student costs and then breaking the promise was a bad thing. I , on the other hand , do not believe in state funded education – I should not be taxed to pay for other people’s kids to be educated – yes an extreme right view.

    While I was writing this my view turned a bit because he might be blamed for so many people voting for Brexit as al Beeb gave the shit so much air time during the campaign to tell how thick we are. After Brexit he can fuck off to some charity like milliband senior did on 250 k a year.

      Fed up,
      Until about fifteen years ago I would have agreed with your view about funding the education of other people’s children. Indeed I thought that giving families tax breaks just because they had children was totally unjustified. Then I woke up to the demographic threat posed by the enormous families that immigrants , particularly Muslims , have and I changed my views. It is now probably too late for a policy which made it financially easy to have a large family, to have any effect on reducing the projections of the % of Muslims in our population in the coming decades . And of course the liberal left would go bananas if the policy was slanted heavily in favour of indigenous Brits which it would have to be to be effective.
      I find that when I think about the future of this country in say 2050, I shudder . By then Muslims will constitute over 20% of the population and there is little doubt that they will be flexing their block vote to change this country into an Islamic one. By the end of the century there is every likelihood that we will have a Muslim majority. These projections fill me with horror and make me think that all other political issues of today, even Brexit, are small beer in comparison.

        Double – I can’t see the connection between the demographic issue – with which I wholly agree but pray for a ‘Malthusian episode ‘ – and the payment of taxes to educate other people’s kids.

        It’s like my deeply unfashionable view about persona responsibility and not have kids unless you can afford them – and they live in some sort of family . And I care not if anyone is offended by this view. The welfare state has morphed into an entitlement monster . You should only get out what you’ve put in . This needs a bit of flexibility and balance . The threshold for getting an NI number should be raised and you don’t get treatment if you ain’t got one – any I know this leads to a need for ID cards . Maybe post Brexit …

          Your views on personal responsibility may be unfashionable but they are certainly not incorrect. Our problem is that for far too long we as a people have been taught that we have personal rights rather than personal responsibilities. In my view the mass media in all it’s forms have encouraged this psychology and if they really cared to they could start to reverse the damage. They have immense power over the way we think and they wish to keep it that way. It is just not in their interest to have an independent thinking population who can and are willing to take care of themselves. We all need to realise that if we don’t use that ability we will lose it. We become the eternal children in need of lifelong nursing by others.

            I think that was what Maggie Thatcher was getting at with her oft-misquoted comments about “no such thing as society”. But, of course, it doesn’t suit the left to give the full quote.

            “They are casting their problems at society. And, you know, there’s no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours.” – in an interview in Women’s Own in 1987

              Thank you for that. I have to confess to my shame that 1987 was before I became able to think for myself. I would always allow The Guardian, The Observer and The New Statesman to tell me what to think. In those days I even believed the BBC to be controlled by evil Rightists, although I did subscribe to Private Eye magazine for about 25 years because I considered it a gloriously rebellious organ and I revelled in the schoolboy humour, provided by the likes of Richard Ingrams, Willie Rushton, and Peter Cook etc. who I don’t think were left wing people at all – Lefties can’t do humour – I think they were more a-political. Even now looking back, it still seems funny and witty. Unfortunately I feel that the mag today is just part of the smug, politically correct establishment.
              The last person I would have listened to would have been Maggie Thatcher. I’m sure that if I had been approached by Antifa I would have been very tempted to join. As it happened I never joined any political organization and now I never will.

    Analysing the BBC website it is clear that the BBC is campaigning for global Islam. Here is another example: on the BBC news homepage they have a screaming headline in their MUST SEE section: I am a Chinese hijabi, and the BBC gives air time to a Chinese Islamist – and she talks about how Muslims are being victimised in China:

        Does the BBC £3.5bn News Service ask why wearing a Hijab is special … or can you do these things without a hijab. What would happen if the women did not wear the hijab – it would not be news. And what would happen if these women tried to be involved in a Majority Muslim country with the above events without a hijab?

        Saudi Arabia have announced women can drive a car (on their own?) and go to the cinema (on their own?) in 2018 … the women above are allowed to do these things because of Western Freedoms not because of Islam. Remove the hijab and you have a normal women. Keep the hijab and you have a women trying to make a stand against Islam’s treatment of women. The BBC wants you to believe that women in hijabs are trying to integrate, but they are really fighting the totalitarian regime of Islam using the Freedoms given to them by the Western World.

Was mentioned on beeb website but seems to have gone and not a word on Toady’s 7 o’clock news although a lot of coverage of Liberia’s rags to riches new President. I would have thought after the German and Austrian elections this would warrant some discussion but yet again its move along nothing to see here.

    When I read/hear the MSM and BBC ‘journalists’ telling me that something is ‘set’ to happen or that Britain is ‘braced’ for bad weather I am reminded that few, if any, understand the language that they are writing in. (‘Set’ implies that something will happen, not that it might happen and ‘braced’ implies that we have all been out and fitted shutters, stocked up with food, moved into the cellar or loft, bought a shotgun and tin opener etc. etc., not that ‘some say’ the weather will be ‘bad’ in the next few days).

    If they can’t get the little things right why would we believe that the rest isn’t fake?

    While on the subject of language I briefly saw a programme on Channel Four yesterday about people building with Lego. The presenter had lost half of his language bricks, all those ‘wivs’ and the like. I moved onto something else but passed through again as the titles came up. Not to be out done the continuity announcer sounded like she hadn’t even got on the banana boat. Our ‘creatives’ aren’t just ‘rubbing it in’, they have gone full-on Kingston-upon-Thames becomes Kingston, Jamaica. All a bit silly really as the West Indians are a minority of minorities here now and are only rated slightly higher than Africans by the BBC’s Brown-eyed Buddies, not very smart if one is trying to sell something to the new ‘master race’. (Sir Lenny’s pals get the acting/modelling jobs, all they got was a lousy BBC One cartoon).

    We tune into the BBC News Channel and receive our daily dose of the BBC Breakfast show – well, how else would a million-odd Britons get to see what’s on the front page of the minority circulation Guardian?

    The BBC go with the weather as their headline story whilst their kindred spirits at the Gruaniad (of which organ we get our daily flash of the front page) continue to plug away at their obsession with Brexit and their dopey meme – “it’s Putin wot won it”

    To be fair that’s not the only dross newspaper story our BBC Naga & male whimp-in-a-compensating-beard insist on sharing with viewers; we also get a report on how best to cut the various types of cheese – oh the unconscious self-abasement.

    In sport aside much chat and overseas staff postings we discern that our billion pound funded national broadcaster has no footage of the Ashes.

    Some over-promoted NHS matron tells us the provision of drunk tanks are a possibly counter-productive ‘safety net’ which may give people the green light to behave irresponsibly knowing someone else will pick up the pieces….
    – huh, couldn’t that be said of all free-at-the-point-of-delivery NHS services? Why else would the medics now have to be advising us all to check on-line before consulting a doc? Mind you, £700k for an NHS family doctor sounds a pretty good screw to be on.

    Now about these yellow and amber snow warnings…. Wasn’t it Frank Zapper who first brought this issue to our attention?

    From now on I’m calling this dumbed-down Woman’s Hour with pictures, this One Show in the morning, this increasingly feminine interest BBC Breakfast: “The Mad Woman’s Breakfast” Because, to be frank (or should that be fanny) it’s all over the place.

      Al beeb fixated on a spat between John major and lady Thatcher from 30 years ago . Fortunately it re I forces the views that the nice Mr Major was a useless shit who helped the process of giving Blighty to the EU- along with heseltine .

      Some one whose claim to fame is being 97 was the editor . She retired from the Lords last year and for some god forsaken reason wants to legalise brothels . After brexit the toms of Europe could apply so set up in Blighty . So much for morality.

      The best bit was a conservative junior minister boasting about giving out £100 000 000 in taxpayer dfid cash in clearing mines from other peoples countries . There was no mention what Blighty might get out of it and no challenge to the give away . – or to clearing the falklands .

    However there is a difference in being allowed on, and actually being allowed to say anything, by the way the questioner is coralling. Farage spoke only 1 minute..the topic was Plain Speaking.

    See how that put Farage in a straitjacket as he rebutt the slur ?
    Ironic cos Jess P wasn’t so corralled opening words was a scripted insult at Farage ‘ he’s been in politics for 30 years, but I’m more successful at it”
    She got about twice time as Farage.

    I see the Guardian and, as you’d expect, the BBC are making front page ‘news’ of the fact that Mrs Thatcher refused to share her Concorde flight to the US with a panda from London Zoo. The implication being, of course, yet another example of the wicked witch’s heartlessness and total failure to identify with the panda-loving masses.
    In reality sharing the confined space of a Concorde flying at supersonic speed at extreme altitude with a large wild animal, no matter how well confined to the rear of the aircraft would have been, I’d suggest, a sensible move. How any animal might react to the experience was very probably a poorly researched area at the time – but to the spiteful and petty minds involved a panda picture on the front page today might just sell a few more copies and another nail in the Lady’s coffin is always money well spent.

    Thu Times : Police failing to protect children from sexual exploitation
    Force criticised for negligence in 90% of cases

    The NSPCC has said that it is concerned by “deeply troubling” and “unacceptable” police failures to protect children highlighted by The Times this morning.

    The Metropolitan police, Britain’s biggest force, has not improved its safeguarding of children at risk of sexual exploitation and rape since a damning report found systemic failings a year ago.

    A spokesman for the NSPCC said: “This report appears to show that attitudes to abused and exploited children are still falling short in our biggest police force. It’s deeply troubling that handling of child protection investigations appears to have got worse, not better, in the space of a year.

    “It’s imperative [that] the child’s voice must always come first. The Met has rightly acknowledged it has a problem.

      I recall hearing the head of it being interviewed by Vine on his show a few years back, about the Islamic rape gangs; I think it was around the time of the Oxford atrocity.

      This dangerous clown said that the reason for the over-representation of Muslims in the “sexual exploitation” of autochthonous female children, was “the economy” i.e. so many of them were employed in the “night-time economy” – taxi driving; running fast food s**tholes etc.

      I cancelled my monthly donation to them within hours of hearing this c**t and explained to the girl on the phone why I was pulling the plug.

        Al – It is quite likely that one of the reasons that the NSPCC defends these bunch of bastards is that I understand that the “Common Purpose” Organisation have quite an interest in charities and I would not be surprised that most of the bigger ones such as the NSPCC are probably full of their “graduates”

        They would defend the perpetrators for three reasons
        1 The investigating police forces, judiciary and social services would also be full of their “graduates”
        2 They do not believe in a smoothly functioning society as we understand it. So chaos and hate is a means to achieve their ends.
        3 Their “common Purpose” does not appear to recognise or relate to stable families/societies as these are not so easily controlled as disfunctional families are.

        You will probably not be surprised to hear that Aunty is also top heavy with these marxist scumbags. Whos expensive “graduate” training has been payed for out of license fee money for many years.

          Oak – the indigenous Britons will eventually wake up to the fact that voting will change NOTHING in terms of the path our “elite” have set this country on. If any nationalist party looks like it will gain ground: it is destroyed and they always will be.

          I relish us leaving the EU but I recognize that it will cause there to be no change to non-white immigration into the UK nor the ill effects of the increasing numbers of blacks and browns already here.

          The solution is either to leave the country or retreat to areas of it which aren’t (so far) affected by immigration, keep our culture intact and try and maintain our numbers so that although we will be a minority; it will be a sizeable one – for when, eventually and ineluctably, the wheels finally come off this evil demographic project.

      b)Catalonia gives the Eu no place to hide and its gutless avoidance of taking sides will show everybody how contemptuous the EU is regarding its people and their votes
      c) Austrians chairing the EU will link with us causing them maximum damage re no deals and an end to this transition crap of theirs.
      d) David Davis to insist on Rees Mogg as his deputy-or else he`ll go and leave May to hang separately.
      e) Trump to kick out the UN, Clinton to go on trial and the wall to get an extra few feet in rainbow paint.
      f) The Russian World Cup to be a disaster, but Putin able to show how effete the west is regarding its players and fans.
      Be nice to see a few Remainer deaths like Campbell, Heseltine, Beckett and Attenborough. Bonus if Will Self pops it.

      On Dec. 28, 2017, Trump had a 46 percent approval rating.
      Obama’s approval rating on December 29, 2009 —just one day later — was 46 percent, the exact same as Trump’s. //

    The fire in New York has just been on the news.

    Looking at the firemen (I didn’t see any firewomen) it struck me that they are all white.
    Also, other support and caring services all appeared white.

    This is in direct contrast to every tv show and film where all these heroic types are non whites.
    All police chiefs, US presidents and top doctors are non white, the only exception being when the character is an evil baddie, then it’s a whitey.

    Next police series you watch, check out the good high ranking black cops (or Wimmin’ cops) and see if you can spot any ‘good’ white cop.
    Black presidents are all kindly and compassionate, highly intelligent men (or a girl president)
    White ones are the two faced, treacherous and liars.

    I suppose you all know this anyway.

      Emmanuel,
      Al Beeb is gleefully reporting any big fire from around the planet to keep the Grenfell story burning – a different propaganda from the Lawrence murder where anyone killed after st Stephen was ignored – the difference being that al Beeb blamed the police but with Grenfell al Beeb can blame Brexit , the tories, trump , British culture , the DUP , Boris and boris’s dog.

      Not of course – the saintly London fire brigade which told those who called to ‘stay put’ thus consigning them to death. Bet that doesn’t feature in the public inquiry as the fire brigades union funds labour.

      EG – That is an interesting point you raise about the NY firemen on the news and one which Diana West noted in her book “The Death Of The Grown-Up” where she discusses 9/11; albeit without the racial element.

      “More than a war was revealed to us that September morning. A throwback world was uncovered, a fireman culture more exotic than that of aborigines of the rain forest – which, after all, is a vacation destination not unfamiliar to trend conscious ecotourists. In the wilds of Queens and Staten Island, it seemed, there were men who married their childhood sweethearts, followed their fathers into the force, and died to save their fellow man. As stricken office workers fled down the stairways of the burning towers, these same fearless men kept climbing upward, shouldering their responsibilities as purposefully as their one-hundred pound packs. To the mainstream culture, it was a staggering revelation – all 343 of them who perished not to mention thirty-seven Port Authority police and twenty-three New York City police.”

      “On 9/11, American society was awestruck by the same manly virtues – read: adult virtues- that our youth cultures, rock culture, our MSM culture had long ago derided as uncool, unhip, inauthentic, corny, out-of-touch, old-fashioned, schmaltzy, dry, dead and totally over.
      Given the long standing entrenchment of these overlapping youth, rock and MSM cultures, the retro-virtues of the adult weren’t going to prevail as cultural norms without a fight. And they haven’t, so far. No culture war is being waged against them, exactly, but maybe a form of not-so-benign neglect.”

    Egypt attack: Twelve die as gunmen hit Coptic Christians

    BBC hints that ISIS is to blame.
    ‘most attacks claimed by the local branch of the so-called Islamic State group.’
    ‘The attacks have been blamed on, and in many cases claimed by, Islamists affiliated with so-called Islamic State (IS)’.

    But nowhere suggests that ordinary Egyptian Muslims could be the possible culprits.

    The Egyptian military dictatorship suppresses the Islamic Brotherhood by force and the liklihood of ISIS having a foothold (other than in Sinai) is slight no matter what the authorities think about the Christian Copts. As three police were also killed one would expect that the Egyptians will pull out all stops to find the killers, even if they are lax in finding killers of Copts.

    I had given up on comedy on al Beeb this Christmas ( expect for 2 hours of Dads Army ) until I heard The World at One. I think fatty Mardell did a story on labour and the Momentum Group. Apparently every one in labour supports corbyn so Momentum doesn’t have a reason to be any more. Which is when I started laughing .

    They covered the process Momentum is using to undermine non believers in labour councils but apparently labour is so supportive of The Great Leader Comrade that Momentum doesn’t need to crush dissenters. By then the tears were just rolling…..

    Labour is floating the idea of having a final referendum on the outcome of negotiations – a policy change but not as bad as corbyn becoming a remainer . Clever – but makes the assumption that the remainers will win next time.

      b) How the UNITE unions fiddled to get McClucky made President, and get his opponent off the ballot paper only a few days before-see Putin v Navalny as ongoing in Russia and read across.
      c) how the referendum was groomed, bent, fiddled and funded to get the YES result they bribed, cheated and extended registrations for. Use of media and “experts”, surveys and “independent thnik tanks” REALLY need a Mueller-type of toothcomb.
      d) the role of Islam, Momentum and Students in getting Corbyn boosted in the last election in June.
      Until ALL this vote grooming, serial ballot fiddling and election meddling by the Left is looked into(these buggers HATE plebiscites, remember , neither Communism or Sharia have EVER been democractially elected anywhere in the world, by a free election)-well, there`ll never be another referendum-what do you think they`d do to swing THAT now?

          Take your points Fedup2, but
          a) Think that the stakes are high now-and there would surely be serious fiddling to get the EU result required by the governing elite.
          They have long disliked any effort to have democratic accountability, and -like the death penalty, immigration-the EU Project is now a Religion that will not be troubled by the heretics and thick like us.
          I mean-when we voted to go into the (then) Common Market in 1975, there was no chance of any kind of second vote. Had we lost last year, you can bet that there`d be no votes given re Turkey, the EU Army or the coming Eurofiscal Pact of Frankfurt 2020.
          Besides-only the little countries like Denmark and Ireland are made to rerun their votes to please the EU that threatens them ,rolls out its media stoolies and unions to get the correct vote for Juncker.
          No-we are Britain, we`ll be here as a safety blanket for Catalonians and De Gaulles successors. As we were in 1940.

          In my view they thought they’d fixed it beyond any chance of Leave getting a majority. Even the leaders of the Leave campaign thought that the cause was lost after the ruthless Remain exploitation of Jo Cox’s murder. The surprise on the day was the turn-out of working class voters who were tired of seeing their wages depressed by unrestriced immigration. The fix was in but fell apart on the last day.

          The BBC still cannot understand why we didn’t believe its lies.

    Rubbish piles up in Rome as holidays and rain disrupt collections
    Mounds of uncollected rubbish have been piling up in Rome since Christmas Eve, with some residents setting them on fire in protest against a municipal administration that has failed to deliver on its promise to tackle the city’s waste.

    Whilst the Guardian gives the impression of Holiday issues, here is what was been reported by the bBC in April:
    Why Rome sends trains filled with rubbish to Austria
    Rome has been struggling to cope with a rubbish crisis and Austria has spare capacity at a waste-to-energy plant near Vienna. So a deal has been struck. The Italians are paying Austrian company EVN to dispose of up to 70,000 tonnes of Roman household refuse this year.

    The BBC is noted for its associations and conflations, implying guilt on a selective basis depending who they a trying to smear.

    Social media is a rich seam, with followers, followees, ‘likes’ etc, which the target often has little if any control over or, in the case of noting a piece, how it is logged.

    Hence Beeboids have a raft of weasels, such as ‘views my own’ or ‘RTs do not mean endorsement’. Actually quite fair mostly, if normally to be taken as read (the twitter white tick/blue badge now seems more an albatross for the aspiring impartial media employee). Questions may also be raised on how many on which ‘sides’ of any issue attract such supposedly neutral additions.

    And of course there is the odd way those the BBC and staff report upon those not enjoying the same exemptions those who operate under the BBC banner do. Like their FoI trawls.

    Certainly it is always… ‘interesting’ what the Peroxide Puff girls either side of the pond, namely Katty and Emily, seem to ‘like’.

    And others too.

    A job for an aspiring stonemason, keen to leave an inscribed quote for posterity, awaits from today’s Letters in the Guardian. Attributed to one Bob Ward from the grandly named Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the LSE – surely not the birthplace of M. Thatcher sort of Grantham? – it deals with the thorny subject of freedom of speech in which the spokesperson for the GRICCE writes, and I quote: ‘When a speaker with a record of making factually inaccurate and misleading public statements, such as a climate denier, is invited to address a campus audience, he or she should be subjected to robust and rigorous rebuttal that can expose the falseness of their claims.’
    The irony of Mr Ward’s words are evidently lost to him, but not, one would hope, on the rational majority.

      Bob Ward –

      “Background
      Bob joined the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from Risk Management Solutions, where he was Director of Public Policy.

      He also worked at the Royal Society, the UK national academy of science, for eight years, until October 2006. His responsibilities there included leading the media relations team.

      He has also worked as a freelance science writer and journalist.

      Bob has a first degree in geology and an unfinished PhD thesis on palaeopiezometry.

      He is a fellow of the Geological Society, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the American Geophysical Union. Bob is also a member of the board of the Association of British Science Writers and a member of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Public Relations Association.”

      Well, well well…

      So, here we have yet another example of a magnificent benefit to the UK’s Economy, working to bring much needed foreign payments from exports, investments and trade from manufacture, design and down-right hard graft.

    5 guest editors – 2 aristocrats – both born in Blighty – 1 Nigerian ( a writer apparently ) – 1 Spaniard ( a dancer apparently ) and one not born at all . I’ve got more and more interested in this term ‘diversity’ which like many here view as a term of abuse as in ‘diverse terrorist’.
    Yet by their very policy of supporting multiculturalism al Beeb fails to be diverse in failing to address or acknowledge my views – I want Blighty to be recognisably Blighty – which infers I prefer a white Judao Christian English speaking culture as dominant – which I suppose make me a racist. So be it – then that’s what I am.

    “I’ll cut back on Netflix – whatever that is .”

    Isn’t it something where some tired old tart gets out of her fishnet tights, and flicks them across the room?

    (My apols Ladies Here, you are not included, I meant all the others)… Phew…

    Much better than a Firestick, which I presume is some sort of suppositorial antidote to an extra-violent vindaloo…

      Thanks Scrob – I kind of know what Netflix is but I’m having too much fun with Sky cold calling me to rejoin after i skexited ( doesn’t work does it ) because they’d been ripping me off even more than al Beeb. Hang on – there’s a knock at the door -it could be the tv licence Gestapo …

        Oh bugger, I hate not being able to help chums in distress, it ails me more than somewhat…

      Once we binned the TVL, Sky was collateral, and given the death spiral of their News division no loss.

      Amazon Prime filled a void across several categories.

      However Netflix has proven a real complementary boon, and at half the cost of the BBC, pretty good value.

      Our kids can think of no reason to watch or listen to BBC at all.

        Stew, I asked you; “Which UKIP woman, who has done something remarkable, would you recommend?

        You are obviously unable to name one.

        Case closed.

          You are obviosly unable to answer my repeated questions……………………………….
          “Why do you support an organisation that robs from the poor to give to the rich?
          In fact why do you post here at all – what motivates you?
          Two easy questions that a person of your calibre should be able answer .”
