Weekend Open Thread

 

The problem with the NHS?  It’s a funding issue, not millions more patients, and ‘some say’ the NHS is being deliberately run-down by the Government. Car sales down?  It’s because of ‘uncertainty due to Brexit’.  Trump?  A sex attacker just like Harvey Weinstein, an allegation made repeatedly on the Today show without a word of dissent.  Want to fly to America after Brexit?….not a chance…all flights will be grounded….#duetobrexit [rest assured it’s not the BBC’s job to scaremonger the presenter tells us…however….lol].

Any more BBC bias?  List it all here….

    Another white paedophile! You can almost imagine the yelps of joy in their newsroom.

    Just keep giving disproportionate coverage to white sex offenders and nobody will notice that you are comparing the extremely abnormal weirdo to a deeply entrenched and religiously justified belief that any uncovered girl from another culture is fair game. Don’t worry, BBC: nobody will notice. That multicultural utopia you promised is clearly about to materialise any moment now. Those million odd abused school girls deserved it anyway because of their ‘white privilege.’

      And as Silly Lilly put it: they’d have been raped anyway, sooner or later.

      Next time I’m in court for rape, I’ll use the Lilly defence: “M’lud, someone would have raped her anyway. Can I go home now?”

      And if ever, heaven forbid, I’m driven to strangling Lilly, I’ll explain that if I hadn’t someone else would have. I suspect there are millions who’d like to.

      London, 9 January: The BBC have accepted Lord Lawson’s complaint that they made a serious factual error in claiming that reindeers were in “steep decline” because of climate change.

        “It would have been more accurate to say that many reindeer populations are threatened by it.”

        No cos that lacks the context : that
        ANY population of ANYthing are threatened by such a vague accusation as Climate Change
        ..especially cos now it also means areas getting too cold

      The father of two claimed An Inconvenient Truth included “serious scientific inaccuracies, political propaganda and sentimental mush”.

      But the judge ruled that the “apocalyptic vision” presented in the film was politically partisan and thus not an impartial scientific analysis of climate change.

    Anyone know the remainer / leaver make up of the cabinet.

    It was ‘balanced’ before at something like 15 or more remainers to about 5 or 6 leavers.
    This reflected the democratic majority vote to leave.

    Is it still ‘balanced’

    Remember that mysterious grenade explosion in Sweden that killed a man and wounded his wife? You know, the story you won’t find a trace of on al-beeb?
    Well it’s not the first such attack. Or the second. Or the hundredth.
    ‘In 2015 alone, Swedish police investigated around 100-150 explosions. There were over 30 grenade attacks reported in the Swedish city of Malmö alone by August 2015.’
    And this isn’t according to the clearly ‘deranged’ Trump, this is according to Wiki, who itemise every attack, with footnotes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grenade_attacks_in_Sweden#cite_note-18

    Problems in Sweden? What problems?

    ‘SWEDEN: Innocent man killed by a grenade attack, the second such attack in a week

    There have been some 16 unexplained bomb attacks in Stockholm over the past two months and the media has been virtually silent about it. Swedish blogger, PeterSweden, seems to be only one making these kind of reports available in English.
    The once beautiful, peaceful, and safe country of Sweden is predicted to be a third world hellhole by the year 2050 or sooner, if they don’t put a total ban on Muslim immigration. How do you say “Get off your asses and save your country” in Swedish?’

    Farewell Sweden, I have fond memories hitch-hiking in your beautiful country as a teenager, totally safe, some drivers even giving me food and hospitality in their homes. Now becoming a multicultural warzone.

        Beeb – Yes, after reports have been censored, suppressed and sanitised by the police, the courts, the politicians and the media. Not to mention self-censorship, in case saying the wrong thing (or the truth as it used to be called) lands you in trouble with the authorities.

    Rooney rule requiring football teams to interview at least one black candidate leads the BBC sport website. Plus the tale of an Afghan refugee who became a Man City Women striker! SJW full house: women, black people and refugees.

    I love sport, but it’s just no fun when left wing politics are not involved. I only cheer a beautiful goal when I know the scorer has been sufficiently oppressed.

    April 2016 … last year …

    You can take the girl out of East Germany, but you can’t take the East Germany out of the girl. In the Eighties, Angela Merkel, was a board member of the FDJ – the “Free German Youth”, the kiddie wing of the one-party state – and the local secretary in charge of “agitprop”. So she has a deep understanding of how art and even humble jokes must serve the needs of the regime – in this case, kissing up to the new sultan:

    Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government granted Turkey’s request to proceed with legal action against a German satirist who derided President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, risking a domestic backlash over freedom of expression.

    “We’re allowing this because we are confident of the strong justice system in our state,” Merkel told reporters in Berlin Friday.

    So, the Biased BBC is even less honest than the shameless propaganda channel – EURONEWS : A French guy with an Arab name was arrested today in Londonistan for corruption in France.
    The BBC said nothing – obviously the “wrong message”.

    It seems that the BBC is now anti-black people as well as anti-whites, just entirely pro Muslim. Normally they would never reoprt opinion like ‘what a victim of a crime thinks the perpetrator’s penalty should be’ – surely that is not ‘news’ ??

    RE: Refugee footballer.

    The conclusion we are meant to draw from this wonderful story is that we should have as many refugees as possible as they are likely to become footballers, doctors et cetera. Well, six knife deaths so far in London this year and zero in the unenriched area of Chichester. Not only is their narrative patently false and patronising, it is actually dangerous. If you invite the world to your country you invite the world’s problems, which include extreme violence.

        I have cried all the water out of my body thinking of that poor woman having to scrape by on 140k a year. They offered her just 45k more and she nobly refused, feeling fully empowered to try and trough even more money from the poor and vulnerable women who are forced to pay her wages or face prison. Imagine having to survive on a mere 185k a year!

    Male, pale and stale. That’s me apparently. It must be, since Norman Smith used that term to refer to certain persons, on BBC lunchtime news, with great enthusiasm. Genderism. racism and ageism, all in one breath. But hey, it’s the BBC, so that’s OK then! Is there any point in complaining to those b…..ds?
    Is there such a thing as justice in the UK? For all?

        “From 1854 to 2013, estimated hatchling sex ratios were
        – 55.60% female (±12.72%) for light beaches
        – and 87.90% female (±5.49%) for dark beaches ”

        Look at tha DARK BEACHES historical ratio
        so a one off near 100% female would always be possible
        Turtles have special properties which means few males are needed
