The BBC described how the raging, embittered and resentful Remainer Lord [unelected] Adonis explained his ‘reasons in an excoriating letter’ for his resignation. Trouble is, though the BBC presented his comments as rational and hard-hitting, they were far from that, being nothing less than a furiously frothy-mouthed, eye-swivelling, green-inked screed venting Adonis’s massive arrogance and frustration that he can’t have his way…a bit of a temper tantrum with teddy going in the corner.
How many more Remainers will make the leap from their ivory towers sacrificing themselves for the cause and the headlines? Headlines the BBC is sure to give them along with a promise of constant referral to the ‘reasons’ they give for their resignation in any futher news reports that paint Brexit and the Government’s approach to, well, everything as a problem ala Alan Milburn.
Spot any more BBC bias….list it all here…..
As has been mentioned in earlier posts – I have received my quarterly threats from TVL, some chap called Hales in Southend. In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve not had a TVL since 1993 but the letters keep turning up. The latest said I could get a TVL from as little as £6 per week, which according to my abbotulator = £312 pa. Go figure.

Beware of goons masquerading as canvassers who knock your door seeking information for a poll on “what TV programmes you watch.”
They wave ‘bait’ such as a box of chocolates in your face to tempt you to take the survey.
Its a trap!
A House Through Time.
BBC 2 documentary about a 200 year old Liverpool house from its construction to the current time. Tracing the lives of all of the inhabitants, and people who lived in the house throughout its existence.
Perfectly innocuous I would have thought, until we come to a guy called Wilfred Steel who moved in during 1850’s
The dark skinned presenter with dreadlocks announces Wilfred worked as a broker and was involved with a sinister import….. Cotton. Yes cotton.
The stuff that was grown and picked by black slaves in America.
Anyway , the price of cotton collapsed and our poor Wilfred went bust and he ended up in Lancaster debtor prison much to the delight of our presenter who stated that he had no sympathy for this poor guy for being involved in such a dastardly product.
However, Wilfred does redeem himself somewhat as on his release from jail, he emigrates to America to join The Union Army. Presenter happy again..
I guess the producers must have searched to find a house with such history. Probably why they ended up with a house in Liverpool….
Re NHS ‘crisis’.
We watched the ITV news at 10.
They went on the NHS crisis but there was no Fiona Bruce eye-rolling and head-shaking. Instead, a mainly straight bat and even some context and analysis.
We even had a mention of population growth, we had the long term increase in investment, and the long term increase in demand, and the long term increase in elderly admissions with complex cases (costs not reflected in public sector final salary pension schemes btw).
All in all , a pretty good stab. What a change from the virtue-signalling bilge on the bBBC.

Meanwhile al Beeb wireless ( world tonight with some Muslim presenter ) banging on about the bannon book again – a foreign story – only liberal bubble dwellers will read it. It’s good to see President Trump has cut off aid to the pakis – Shame we couldn’t do the same as the government gives the pakis £350 000 000 a year of taxpayers’ borrowed money. Madness. Madness.

My parents are in their 60’s
They watch the BBC and spot all the Left Wing bias.
But they ignore it. In their view, it’s the BBC and what else do you expect?
In my opinion, the most dangerous part of the BBC’s output is kid’s daytime TV. It’s called CBBC.
It both reeks and stinks of left wing bias. Was it Goebbels who spoke of influencing the young through the media?
It’s been a month and the police are still circulating this alleged rapist’s photo
“Borderless”? He’s probably moved quickly to some muslim ghetto in the Neterlands or France by now.
Another post Emily M ‘likes’.
Impartially.
By that reckoning every election is invalid as demographics will have changed in 5 years.

What about the young generation who find out about the EU and dislike what they see? What about the young voters who become conservative because they see socialist policies failing? What about the BBC not being around in the future?
I think Vlad hit the nail on the head – Aaronovitch is an imbecile, it’s as simple as that. He doesn’t even know who voted and how – no one does. It’s all stuff and nonsense made up to suit the remainiacs’ bruised sense of entitlement.
And yet, like so many others, this imbecile is served up by Newsnight, liked by the aging Matesless.
Looking at his double chin, Comrade Aaronovitch might think himself lucky to reach 2020. What a complete left wing fucktard. You might almost think he was raised by Communists. Oh, wait a minute…

Logan and Jake Paul: The brothers dominating social media

– was not surprised to see the bBBC take the opportunity to try to put a nail in the coffin of the success of two young white male YouTube superstars. Was surprised to see them use a reporter from The Daily Beast as their source. Gets more like Hello magazine by the day.
Get rid of the licence fee!
The BBC has mounted a full, concerted assault on this for days on social media.
They are demanding blood, and heads, and of course, asking if he can survive.
Oddly, not a campaign they permit for one of their own who errs.
The Beeb are all over that white taxi driver who drugged and raped women.
I wonder if it would be the lead story if he were an ‘Asian’ taxi driver from Rochdale?
Note how the BBC are avoiding the deeply troubling roles of ‘Baroness’ Scotland and Herr Starmer in the Worboys story.
Wasn’t some faux academic assuring us that the BBC is biased toward the Right, just the other day?
Academics on the bbc? What are they like?

I mentioned the starmer r link last night as guido had raised it – now we Hearn the that gloriously diverse attorney general – barrones Scotland – close to being sacked for alleged dodgy expenses claims and recruitment of friends without process – were in volved in this mess.
If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny . How he got the 8 years min in the first place, why no further prosecutions , (starmers job ) why not referral for a lenient sentence (Scotland’s job) and how has it come to a parole board doing an admin job on his release.
If it was a conservative government which presided over this al been and the very lovely Evette Cooper would have Been all over it and screaming for this that and the other – all they seem to be doing is reporting this sad mess. Pity the victims in this today. Should have hanged mr warboys .
Sport bulletin on BBC one tells us a refugee from Afghanistan has signed for Manchester United’s women’s team.
How is this not a parody? What sports fan wants to know this? Is there a safe space anywhere free from their relentless propaganda?
I care for facts over narrative. So what if this one female refugee has become a footballer. What are the facts for ‘refugees’ as a whole? What percentage are employed? Do they share our values? How many are male? What are their thoughts on women? Or are such crucial questions hate/thought crime?
Are we honestly expected to believe that as well as doctors and engineers, the next Lionel Messi awaits if we just let in S many migrants as possible?
Can’t help but notice BBC News going all hanging judge this morning putting out the hue and cry on this character Worboys. Personally I’d throw away the key.
Of course it’s a case of victim top trumps – on any other crime the BBC would be more comfortable pleading the case of the accused and lobbying for lighter prison sentences.
You know the BBC have the green light to go full tilt on this one when you hear the phrase “He drove a black cab around exclusive areas of west London cruising for women”
Were his crime havng jumped in a mini cab and cruised the less salubrious areas of northern towns we guess the BBC’s agitation at his release would be less, shall we say, high profile. Other personal factors and characteristics of victims and perpetrator may also have come into play.
I would too throw away the key – but has anyone noticed how the BBC keep saying he raped 12 women when in fact he only raped 1 and assaulted 11. The point being that they are mis reporting the news but get away with it. Accuracy is important in all cases. Don’t get me wrong I would leave him in jail but facts need to be facts not News-speak as in 1984 – enjoying reading it.
“…he only raped 1 and assaulted 11”
It’s all about the narrative, dear boy, the narrative. On other occasions we find the BBC are far more particular with the legal actualities – in those cases where they are cheering on what they see as their home side.
Even so, I’m sure whatever they have said about this chap has still been just a smidgeon within legal guidelines – which always provide just enough legroom for your chosen narrative to prevail.
Plus it’s most important we the audience (which we want to be properly cohesive in a certain sense) have this example and the large numbers of victims involved lodged at the very front of our minds when consideration of other like issues become the news.
Always interesting to note the emerging pattern of news editorial decisions. Wednesday saw commercial radio keen to headline the comments of a Tory vis-a-vis the town of Windsor, street beggars we have learnt to call the homeless and the up coming Royal Wedding. The Guardian, that low circulation politically far left news sheet, goes with the story Thursday morning. And low and behold BBC News picks it up and runs with it Thursday morning. The BBC news room lefty nightcrawlers* were obviously not too hard at work – how’s that BBC phrase go…’you want the news story, it’s all in the Guardian’
* that’s a reference to Nightcrawer (2014) a very good movie starring Jake Gyllenhall which tells you an awful lot about our so-called “News”
What fun it would be if the Windsor street beggars turned out to have links with Momentum.
Funny how they all turnedd up just before Christmas and ‘randomly’ positioned themselves in the tourist hot spots near the Castle.

I’m not sure whether the reduction in car sales is good or bad but obviously it’s bevause of Brexit ( al Beeb didn’t quite get this far) – al Beeb wasn’t sure about car numbers either – the krauts are to blame for corrupting the diesel tests and the Eu letting them get away with it.
Humph interviewed the shah of Iran’s son who wants to muller the mulhas . The prince go an easy time as in my book his dads repressive regime was the main reason the even more repressive Muslims took over and got us into the mess we are in.

Has anyone heard anything on the BBC or other UK media about the activities of a British company called Bell Pottinger? Or, more specifically, one of its top employees, Victoria Geoghegan, who has apparently been promoted within the company?
They worked hand-in-glove with the corrupt Zuma regime in South Africa, and the Indian Gupta family, in what is commonly referred to as ‘state capture’. In this the Guptas took control of many of the state departments, colluding with corrupt ANC officials to fleece the state and enrich themselves to an astonishing degree.
I recall Lord Hain having said something about the involvement of British banks in the subsequent money-laundering of stolen funds, but I can’t remember whether I heard or read it and where?
Bell Pottinger ( a PR company) apparently devised a strategy of whipping up anti-white sentiment to cover up the state capture project, and little Victoria, a racist of the first order by the sound of it, devised the plan -very dangerous in the powder keg that is South Africa- of blaming whites in general, and ‘white monopoly capital’ in particular, for exploitation which was actually to the benefitof the corrupt Zuma/Gupta alliance.
Geoghegan sounds like a particularly nasty piece of work, but finding out anything about this story is not easy; presumably UK media keep away from it; too many lefty chums who don’t want to embarrass Victoria and Co? There was a blip of Hain-linked publicity about this story and then it vanished in the haze…
The mentionof “Lord Hain” reminds me of a question.
If Peter Hain came to the UK because of his anti-apartheid campaign, why did he not happilygo back home when the ANC tok over?
Sounds like another economic migrant.
From memory the Daily Telegraph covered the ell Pottinger story a few months ago. Once the facts became known most of it’s customers took their business elsewhere and the overseas subsidiaries were bought out by their local managers – who’s first job was to change the name.
Another minor media moaner having a sulk at being ignored:
Odd, story covered by everyone bar the BBC.
Two police officers were attacked by staggering number of doctors, engineers, and surgeons in Paris. The sheer violence of the attacks where a helpless policewoman is lying on the ground while being kicked and stamped upon, is sickening. The video is so violent you have to sign in to YouTube to see it.
https://news.sky.com/story/cowardly-lynching-of-police-officers-in-france-on-new-years-eve-11193590
Sky covers it without mentioning who these thugs are, no doubt they are native Frenchmen.
The BBC’s only favoured right wing politician, French President Emmanuel Macron, called the attack a “cowardly and criminal lynching”
Yet silence from the BBC as Europe wipes its culture out of history.
As you say Scribbling, complete blackout by al beeb about the violent and sustained attack on a French policewoman by the savage invaders.
An important story, part of the biggest issue of our time, namely the invasion and destruction of Europe, ignored by the evil beeb because it doesn’t fit its wicked agenda.
Some of the most obscene bias of the British Hating Corporation is in what it DOESN’T report.
To know what’s really happening daily, hourly, in the ongoing war of civilizations it is now necessary to go to sites such as below, which will no doubt soon be banned for telling the inconvenient truth.

More musical chairs on the TODAY Programme this morning. When we get past the holiday season, it will be interesting to see how things settle down next week.
I am starting to wonder whether the new Chief Editor has made enemies among the presenting team and there’s a bit of a ‘work to rule’ or even a strike going on?
Anyone with inside news on that?
No idea, but any strife within the evil beeb is good news to my ears.
The Evil Empire (beeb) delighted to trumpet “Midnight queues for explosive Trump book” under its Must See section on Home page.
News? Or just promotion for a book attacking their number one hate figure?
Were they so keen to promote The Strange Death of Europe?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news
It’s obvious
BBC news = BBC Political Adverts
.. with the item ‘Trump has criticised Bannon for criticising Trump’s son’ being in almost every news bulletin for the last 48 hours
Ridiculous since it has no relevance to the UK.
Yet other more important stories are not selected for Operation #BBCBangingOn.
PM with Eddie Mair last night was a complete joke. Diplomatic correspondent from the Times has read the book apparently. She would have sounded far more at home being the showbiz correspondent for Hello magazine. Totally pathetic.
Not BBC but touching similar ‘fake news’ output, Wolff’s book was featured as headline front page ‘news’ in the The Times yesterday (with further excerpts today). Yesterday’s Times article was more of a review of the book than anything resembling a news item and included many ” ” marks around unsubstantiated content. Even my 90-year old Mum was telling ‘I don’t know what’s happened to The Times. There’s no news in it any more.’
Certainly, Trump’s personality may leave a lot to be desired but I am thoroughly sick of the smooth-talking Clinton-Bush-Obama ilk of politicians who can’t help but lie when they open their mouths and, God knows, we’ve had more than our fair share of this type on our side of the Atlantic. I haven’t a clue about the state of Trump’s health but I find the endless ‘Trump thumping’ by the MSM only spurs me on to give the guy a cheer. Wolff’s book appears to be this year’s opening shot fired towards Trump leading up to the 2018 mid-term US elections.
vlad, I don’t remember seeing any BBC promotion of Edward Klein’s ‘All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump’ either.
Trump was foolish to have given him the access he got, truly a Wolff in sheeps clothing.
Much like the BBC. ‘Infiltration’ being the key word.
https://cigpapers.blog/2013/09/01/the-fabian-society-a-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing/
“a faux elite group of pseudo-intellectuals who formed a semi-secret society for the purpose of bringing socialism to the world. Whereas Communists wanted to establish socialism through violence and revolution, the Fabians preferred to do it gradually through propaganda, infiltration and legislation. The word socialism was never to be used. Instead, they would always speak of benefits for the people such as pensions, welfare, medical care, higher wages, and better working conditions.”
Well, someone seems to be telling porkies.
Am I the only one who thinks something doesn’t smell right about this whole book? I confess I haven’t heard much on the media about it, because I’ve already heard so many lies over the past year, and declarations about how bad the latest storm is for Trump, that I automatically tune out or turn off. But what I have heard seems like all the MSM Christmases coming at once. Could this be an almighty troll of the media to expose how they’ll report anything bad about him without checking?
Good fun if this is a troll.
Even if not the msm, bbc included, are covered in more shame than already.
Every headline is caveated with ‘reportedly’ or ‘claims’, and few are buying it any more.
RD, you are not alone. I have a post waiting to spike Lobbie, Brissles and Thoughtful on the new Weekend Thread but as you are asking … I am tempted to post it here. But I resist. Instead, there is this – hot off the press.
The obvious question in many listeners’ minds while listening to TWatO is ‘If Wolff had access to the White House, has anyone at the BBC checked or tried to check with White House Security to see if their Visitor Log shows him being given access on multiple occasions?’
Such a thought did not occur to Mark Mardell, presenting on TWatO today. Is he not an experienced BBC journalist? Did he not spend time overseas? Remind me: where was that?
RD, I note that the BBC are trying to roll back a bit on their approach earlier in the week to the Wolff book. On the BBC web-site Home Page, the book is now described as controversial.
Trump is not to everyone’s tastes.
Few politicians are, and he was not even a politician until he became POTUS.
And politics is simply war by other means, and in war survival of the fittest could never be more acute. All are tested, and only the strongest survive.
That he has persevered thus far is some kind of testimony to self-belief and willpower.
But by heavens one has to wonder how long he can keep on when the assaults are incessant and from all sides.
Now a devil’s advocate may argue that having so many enemies is a problem, but in addition to von Clausewitz there are several quotes about not having enemies meaning you are pretty ineffective as a leader. Step up Barry.
Trump is not young, and the strain of Presidency is bad enough, but all these others must be hard to bear.
Maybe what is keeping him going is that only he knows the truth behind all these allegations, claims, interpretations, tell-alls, etc, that such as the BBC are only too professionally happy to pass on as ‘news’?
Guest Who
When I look at the types slinging the shit I just know he must be doing good. VIVA TRUMP!
When even such uber-lefty newspapers as the Washington Post are highly critical of the author of that book, pointing out, in effect, that he sees no difference in truth and fiction made up to fit his narrative (aka prejudice), I think we can be confident that the book is worthless and cannot be believed. However, the author doesn’t mind. The main thing is to throw dirt and expect the lefty media (including the BBC) will lap it up.
A quote that sums things up quite well:
“This book says Trump did not want to win the Presidency…
…but also that he wanted to win so much he colluded with Russia?”
Probably not one for the peroxide mind bleach that is Katty to RT with a ‘Boom!’.
GCooper deserves a “you betcha”……….for proclaiming the “NHS CRISIS” a pre- planned labour tactic.

‘about plastic coffee cups’ – what is the number used in the BBC? Do they have a coffee run? Can they just all have water instead to show their green credentials? Do the BBC staff claim the coffee back as expenses?

I have spent a lot of time volunteering at green festivals in different countries ..usually on litter pick.
That is how I know that most people identifying as Green, are not green.
In particular WWF & Greenpeace staff are often more focused on raising money .
As a life-long music fan, I went to one festival and was disgusted by the filth and litter spread by these right-on, eco-warrior wankers. Never again. I can’t even bring myself to watch festivals on the telly.

Plastic coffee cups. What is the number used in the BBC? I should imagine that little fact is covered by the Official Secrets Act.
DavidR. I don’t know the answer to your question, although it seems a case of ‘not putting your money where your mouth is’.
Meanwhile, I have done a little research and found that Bell-Pottinger apparently closed down because of their little SA escapade backfiring. What happened to little Victoria I know not. It seems KPMG were in a similar mode, got their fingers burnt, and a few execs had to resign hastily. From all of this one gathers that drumming up anti-white sentiment in SA (you’d think the locals and the ANC would be pretty good at that anyway?) is not something UK companies should get involved in.
The issue will remain of interest as that country is going into an election soon, and whether the ANC will be able to resist playing the race card remains to be seen! I suspect not, as their record is one of failure. Who to blame?
The whole Bell Pottinger saga was detailed in Private Eye some weeks back. The magazine has no remaining vestiges of humour, but the ‘Slicker’ pages at the back still represent excellent insider journalistic output.

I see the Dow reached 25000 for the first time yesterday, and the S and P 500 is also at a record high.
The real US economy seems to be going along nicely.
But for the bBBC, none of this matters. Not when a book with anti-Trump tittle-tattle needs to be given lots of free publicity.
Why are the BBC (Jeremy Vine) making a big thing about the taxi driver rapist being released (should have been hung anyway) but constatntly ignore the many Muslim multiple child rapists some of whom were let out after very short sentences?
WB – you beat me to it.
Why wasn’t al Beebus so outraged by the case of the leader of the Muslim rape gang in Telford?
Mubarak Ali was released after serving 5 years of a 22 year sentence.
If we lived in a serious country: Worboys would have ended his days at the end of a rope, whilst Ali and his co-religionists would never have been allowed into this country in the first place; to commit any crime against anyone here.
Al S, Wild Bill –
I am pro-death penalty, and would bring it back for murder, terrorism and treason. Actually for terrorists caught red-handed I’d have them summarily shot. But I wouldn’t go so far for rape, especially as our heavily politicised/feminised police and judiciary currently stand.
A forced rape with violence, or a serial opportunity rapist certainly deserves a good 20 year sentence with no parole..but a ‘date rape’ case where the woman has simply got drunk and had buyers remorse – definitely not a hanging offence in my book. The anonymity rules in these cases needs looking at too.
Would you bring it back if you were raped or your wife; daughter; mother or sister?
Al, no I don’t think I would. A victim of serious crime like rape or GBH can have their life ruined, and the perpetrator must be punished, by being taken out of society for a long time. Rehabilitate them if you can, although there are some who can not be civilised.
A traumatised crime victim is at least, still alive and will hopefully move on psychologically. Extinguishing a life by murder is irrevocable and of a different magnitude, and to my mind deserves the ultimate punishment.
If I or one of my relatives or friends were raped, I’d probably wish to see the rapist dead it’s true. But as this country’s population demographic changes its law will also revert back to the days of blood feud, vendetta and wergild. A modern state can’t really function under those conditions.
I think there’s no doubt that governments have been failing to keep us safe from violent criminals (petty or murderous) for years, although that should be its main job in my view. The lenient sentences handed out for horrendous crimes are an insult, yet commit the faux pas of beng rude to a foreigner and you could be looking at jail time. I only hope that before I kick the bucket there is some revolution or awakening in the masses to start stemming the tide of leftist insanity.
If you would want someone who raped you or someone close to you killed, rightly in my view. Why would you not want the state to do the same for someone else, if they or their loved one have similarly suffered at the hands of a rapist?
Some victims of rape never get over it and some of them do: that shouldn’t alter what the punishment is though.
Poor standards by journalists reporting on “Britain’s biggest rapist” on LBC and Radio5 live
As they refer to “100+ victims ”
Actually he was prosecuted and convicted of ONE rate and about 12 sexual assaults
..in the sentencing the cases of about 40 additional complainants were considered
So the standard is that it should be “50+ complainants”,
cos victim is used only for cases where there has been a conviction.
The champion of rape victims Naz Shah is on now, after they read the first comment from Stella Creasy.

Oh dear, look what I found … not only is Halal a positive employment discrimination … you have to be a MAN to perform HALAL which is HARAM in Sadiq Khan’s feminist World … yet Sadiq Khan promotes Halal …. checkmate.
Halal Food Authority (HFA) is an independent, voluntary nonprofit organization, part of a registered charity involved in the supervision, inspection, audit, certification, and compliance of halal principles and practices in the UK food and beverages industry.
Does HFA have Muslim Slaughterman/men performing slaughter?
Yes, all slaughter is manually carried out by Muslim slaughterman/men whilst Bismillahi-Allahu Akbar is recited.
HALAL IS POSITIVE EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION WHICH IS HARAM
HALAL IS POSITIVE RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION WHICH IS HARAM
HALAL IS POSITIVE SEXIST DISCRIMINATION WHICH IS HARAM
Sadiq Khan as a Feminist Labour Socialist Lawyer must fight this injustice … please wait, your contradiction is important to use …
That ‘too wow to be true’ claim , doesn’t stand scrutiny
“The Islamic scholars agree that it is permissible for women to slaughter animals because Sunnah and Quran do not specifically mention that only men ..”
http://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/food-slaughter/women-slaughtering-animals-permissible/
However under UK law I would expect a Halal slaughterhouse job to be “constructive discrimination” in that the workplace atmosphere probably would put off women from applying.
Ah, but for the Halal Authority to discriminate openly on the website means they are breaking discrimination laws. So they need to remove it and also need to add transgender toilets which Sadiq Khan is pushing for. Really thought I had him cornered here!
If anything it is a question that needs to be asked … the results will be revealing. Just like can you draw a cartoon of anything and is it right to put a bounty on an author who writes fiction. I have never heard Sadiq Khan or the members of the Halal Authority answer these questions.
Yes halalfoodauthority.com seemingly breaks the law by not using neutral language
It uses the words man/men
The only time it mentions “female” is on the halal certificate application form.
The only time it mentions “woman/women” is section quoting a book title.
Thanks for the info … but I might use the power of omission to push this one forward.
I wonder if Celebrity Mastermind is taking it’s cue from Britain’s got Talent. Where we hear contestants
with voices much worse than mine. And that’s saying something. The analogy being that on Celebrity
Mastermind there is one contestant who manages to get a few points on their specialist subject such
as the two times table , two to ten. Then on the general knowledge ,other than knowing their own
names , they know NOTHING. I suppose the BBC thinks that it good for ratings and their stupidity does
make you laugh. Can you imagine how thick some of the E list Celebs who fail the auditions must be.
But on the other hand maybe they want the thickest on the programme?
Sadiq Khan … when will you fight for a Transgender toilet to be installed in a Halal Slaughter House … to be fair and equal and not Haram?
The Beeb really are having a field day with this book and Worboys….
R4 news at one ‘he may have raped more than 100 women’
may have? Facts and raped? Facts this is not news it is major virtue signalling and now Sad Khan has got onto the wagon..
Agree he should have been kept in..
And the Trump book they are going to profile the author… R4 at 1.. quotes the author Wolff who says “his credibility is being questioned by a man with less credibility than anyone who has ever lived” “anyone who has ever lived” – now that sounds like somebody who works with facts too.
.I am having to turn BBC off now..
clinton is being investigated and so are comey and other fbi traitors hence the garbage book on the president. the media and the deep state are now moving to the 25th because the russian tripe failed and backfired. interestingly clinton’s home went on fire two days ago. tarà to some dodgy files
Guess who’s covering for Jeremy Vine for the next 2 weeks ??
… The Amol-bot ..Amol Rajan being pushed forward again
..They’ll probably have him presenting Woman’s Hour as well
Stew
Perhaps he can do a feature on why there are not enough diverse people on the al Beeb radio /tv .
Is he presenting Top of the pops or top gear yet? Or that ‘x’ thing or ‘voice’ or baking ? If not why not ?
What a joke.
By sheer coincidence the 3:45pm story was about Parliamentians being upset by poor food , but being remedied when they brought in an immigrant Turkish kebab maker to make his ‘delicious kebab’ business in Parliament.
I think that is the first time BAME have been privileged with a prog in 6 months
…. Or 6 minutes
Why does MSM never mention this apparently genuine Tony Blair, in Sedgefield election leaflet from 1983 ??
`We’ll negotiate a withdrawal from the EEC which has drained our natural resources and destroyed jobs.’
elsewhere he is quoted as saying that in a speech
The claim seems firm cos no one is contradicting it
I’ve seen shortened photo-shopped versions
But this full length one has it way down the page

It’s often said that Mr Blair believes in only one thing – Mr Blair . He was a barrister and so happy to sell himself for a side of a story or the other. Classic megalomaniac thinking he can still influence what people think and believe.
He is an asset to we brexiters as every time he puts his head up he makes leaving more likely .
His face is really becoming more demonic – I think he will pay a price of the day of judgement- just to get a good reputation with the Americans after 9/11. Fool .
I’m just reading Tom Bower’s book about him: “Broken Vows”. It is well worth the read.
I think it was someone on here who recommended it but I’ve read two others by him about Branson and Ecclestone which are very good, so I knew this one would be too.
I always like to be helpful, and I think I can help you there.
There’s no reason to suppose that the leaflet isn’t genuine. That quote or something very like it was in the Labour Party manifesto in 1983. Remember the one? Longest suicide note in history, and all that? Commitment to withdrawal from the EEC being the issue considered most beyond the pale? In 1983 local parties were responsible for producing their own election materials and few of them had access to graphic design skills. There were no professionally-designed and coherently-themed materials from HQ. Sedgefield was still a mining constituency and the NUM will have been dominant. It’s unlikely that ANW Blair had anything to do with the election materials beyond supplying the photo, which may well have been recycled from his fighting hopeless Beaconsfield the year before. Sedgefield was the last Constituency Labour Party to select a candidate that year, not until after the election materials would have been nodded through by the CLP Executive and sent to the printers.
Did that clarify things for you?
Move along now, nothing to see here.
WildWoman, welcome back and Happy New Year to you.
I don’t remember “Commitment to withdrawal from the EEC being the issue considered most beyond the pale?”. I do remember Unilateral Nuclear Disarmament. I also remember a widespread range of tax and re-nationalisation measures. I seem to recall there was an unwinding of Trade Union legislation and a commitment to the miners’ cause along with other proposals that seemed likely to make ‘In Place of Strife’ into, for the UK ‘The Place of Strife’ with proposals for all sorts of concessions to unelected powers. All these much higher up the agenda.
Had there been a major reference to withdrawal from the EEC, it might have produced a favourable response from the Tories, especially from Margaret Thatcher but I don’t recall that either.

While our sick western pseudo-feminists have twisted the oppressive veil into a symbol of emancipation (?!?) the first thing real, heroic feminists do in those countries where the Religion of Misogyny rules, is get rid of their veils at the earliest opportunity. Unlike our ridiculous Treezer.
She is looking very thoughtful Vlad. There is nothing like an intelligent woman expressing her freedom of choice public ally over her right to wear what she wants.
She is obviously thinking this should be worth at least half a dozen Tory votes in Luton.
Or Maybe shes thinking “does my arse look big in this” or maybe ” I should have worn the matching McQ Alexander McQueen Red Razor Triple Wrap Bracelet”
I expect these were the self same thoughts the Yazdi captives had when they were sold off as Isis temporary wives as they were marched off to slavery and were given their first decent sharia compliant full Islamic burkah at auction.
Just a thought.

Brexit: Macron warns Europe could split after Britain leaves EU
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/brexit-macron-latest-eu-split-europe-warning-unity-a8142826.html
Don’t think Europe will split, Lucy, unless that chunk falls off the Canaries or Azores. But if the post-Brexit period is relatively benign & the UK does well, then the EU may be split by some members fancying the grass outside. And I do not mean “mi ‘erbs!”.
Ed Westwick removed from BBC Agatha Christie drama Ordeal By Innocence

How ironic is the title of that drama! Can’t believe they haven’t replaced him with someone more diverse, and wouldn’t it be hilarious if someone made claims about that actor…have they thoroughly checked him? Do they do a crb check on their staff?

Often al beebs bias is shown in what it doesn’t say as much as what it puts out.
The Worboy rape case is an example on a number of levels – al Beeb has not , so far as I know – put any of the labour players up to examination –
Nor have we heard from the usual lefties – Abbot , Hattie Harmon. Evette cooper – balls , lady nugee, the other gobby female rentagobs who regularly turn out for ‘wimmin as victim ‘ issues such as the lesser monster like Weinstein .
Will we hear from them – ? I guess they are all skiing on tax payers expenses.
Cooper stuck her oar in on twitter, and had it bitten off. May explain the others going dark.
Perhaps so Guest –
Just come off the al Beeb website which is promoting a famed al Beeb bubble dweller Called aaronovich who obviously has personal issues or doesn’t understand democracy.
He says that because brexiters are dying the referendum becomes invalid. Personally I think he might be challenging TheGrim Reaper – particularly since he is not much younger than this fedup writer.
The arrogance of these man children who cannot accept an outcome with which they will never agree. A a tax paid shit.
Neither he nor Newsnight fared too well for this effort on social media. Which had to hurt.
I saw this too Fedup2 – I thought it a disgraceful piece literally hoping hundreds of thousands of useless eaters would die so that his fasist paradise could come to fruition.
What an odious man.
Not you – him.
I checked his demographic stats and they are basically correct; problem is how many folk will change their mind towards Brexit. Plus, baby boomers never die – they’re like red-trouser-wearing Terminators. “I’m looking for Sarah Connor – such fun!” etc.
All will be meaningless once Jersusalem starts building the Third Temple – now they’ve discovered the actual Temple site isn’t on the site of the Dome. They’re all set – got the Sanhedrin ready, you name it.
Then it’s a 7yr countdown.
Trump is aware of this and is unbelievably canny in setting up his new office in Jerusalem.
Don’t underestimate the importance of this Temple stuff you lot.

The mind set of remainers seems pretty infantile . So – we leave the EU – if the outcome isnt great then the leading pro EU types will take Blighty back in again . If we are a successful economy with population control then they’ll want us back to pay for their federal dream .
Instead they wish the likes of me dead for daring to exercise a democratic vote. And al beeb is an active supporter of this view by allowing a creature like aaronovitch air

As the Progessives? would say, “It’s not Who you love but That you love that is important”. Unless of course the ones doing the loving are not to their liking, then the lovers become dirty love rats of the highest order. Still, the man has made his bed so he will have to lie on it. Good luck to them both.
