Mid-Week Open Thread

 

Jeremy Corbyn owes Momentum big style…he is their man, bought and paid for.

Name of donor: Momentum Campaign (Services) Ltd
Address of donor: Walkden House, 10 Melton Street, London NW1 2EJ
Amount of donation or nature and value if donation in kind: interest free, unsecured loan of £50,000 towards my campaign for leadership of the Labour Party. This loan is for an indefinite period.

Interest free, unsecured and for an indefinite period…..£50,000.  The chief officers of Momentum are Muslim activists.  Momentum only registered with the Electoral Commission in 2017 so where does the large loan stand?…it’s not in the EC’s register of loans and donations.   Uncertain of the rules on donations/loans by the likes of Momentum for leadership campaigns but certainly in election campaigns they are only allowed to spend £39,000.  Seems unlikely they would be allowed therefore to give £50,000 for a single issue to one person…Corbyn.  One for Panorama to investigate…or maybe not.

Spot anything you think the BBC should investigate, including itself, list it here…..

    I suppose Momentum gets round the rules on this by calling it a “loan” .jon lansman , the elusive head of Momentum , is the real power behind the thrown – with John McDonald ready to take over when Corbin decides he wants to spend more time with his allotment. Do a wiki on Jon lansman. If true it’s a revelation.
    Not much investigative journalism done here….

      Congrats to you Fedup2! First on the blogroll of honour!
      Labour have been doing this since the year dot.
      Their funny financings would have involved Gadhaffi and Brezhnev in the previous era before us.
      And I certainly recall Lord Levy and all manner of Blairs hooky mates buying their peerages or influence from Blair in return for their giving “unsecured loads or donations” to Labour HQ.
      Utterly despicable-as is Momentums creative fiddling of election expenses last year. So where are Michael Crick and Jon Snow?

    Toady watch

    A quiet news day so Toady is spending huge amounts of time talking about Dame Tessa Jowell – one of Blair’s babes – who has brain cancer. Cue allegations that the NHS isn’t doing enough. There s not enough research or treatment.

    I thought it ironic that because this lady is a senior and prominent labour politician she gets a nice chat with Robinson and will be addressing the House of Lords tomorrow on the issue.
    I’d say this – try being an ordinary punter with – say – Dementia and see how much attention or care you get. .bubble dwellers feeling sorry for themselves whilst ordinary people – go take a flying one.

    Interesting that another senior woman labour politician at the same time – mo Molem had terminal brain cancer too.

    And no – mo molem wasn’t a mohammed fortunately.

      It struck me the day before yesterday, Fed, that everyone at the BBC has forgotten that there is no Budget this spring. It was moved to the autumn for last year and on into the future until changed again.

      The BBC are obviously indulging in the annual collecting tin rattle for public services on auto-pilot, thinking there will be a Budget in March 2018.

            Had to wait in excess of 2 hours for a blood test in the Path Dept at our local hospital today. When eventually seen by the Phlebotomist she apologised for the wait, but said there is a permanent shortage of staff because of Brexit ! I got the gist that Phlebotomists have all gone ‘back home’ en-masse and that no-one ‘over here’ wants to train for the job. I didn’t argue – you never debate a contentious subject with a woman who is coming at you with a syringe. But if she was an example of the stories coming out of the NHS then God help us.

              There are more EU nationals working in the NHS than ever before

              As of 30 June 2017, there are 61,891 EU nationals in the NHS, or 5.2% of the workforce. This is a huge 55.4% increase in the last 3.5 years – +22,084, up from 39,807 in Dec 2013 – and EU nationals have risen 8 times faster than other NHS staff.

              EU nationals have increased since the Brexit vote

              As of 30 June 2016, EU nationals were 58,698 or 5% of the NHS workforce. So exactly one year after the referendum vote (after which a hate crime wave was allegedly unleashed) there are 3,193 more EU nationals working in the NHS. These increases are even higher if you choose the beginning of the referendum campaign as a starting point. It is true that the growth rate in EU nationals has slowed down, but this can be explained by many factors as well as Brexit, particularly in the case of EU nurses.

          I’m afraid I can’t answer your question, for I too soon got fed up with so much Jowellery, and the fact that it was in part a promotion piece for the Labour Party. I would have retained my interest in the subject and much sympathy for the sufferer (and his or her family) had it been a member of the general public, but because the BBC so blatantly focussed it on a Labour politician, I hit the off button. Of course, I DO have sympathy with Jowell and wish her well. But the political bias of the BBC always antagonises.

    Toady watch 2

    Our Justin does a rare interview with Dr Liam Fox – whom some would say is a rare thing – a conservative in the current labour government .

    A discussion about the cbi called for Blighty to remain in the Eu customs union – thus remaining in the EU – as the CBI campaigned for during the referendum debate. They lost but can’t accept democracy. They have their priority – money – we have ours – our country.

    Dr Fox raised the issue that there might be a need for a customs union but not the EU one because we won’t be in it. You could hear the panic in the Toady editorial suite and our Justin being extra smooth as he was flummoxed .

    And guess what ?

    The line from Davos/davros failed. How often does that happen at key moments. They didn’t get him back or even attempted to.
    Not a public service.

    One of those little snippets of news this morning where the story is a tad embarrassing for the progressive cause – so BBC tv decides to mention it in passing but avoids the usual editorialised discussion.

    One Nicola Sturgeon is hauling down the union flag. Scottish Government buildings will only fly our British national flag once a year. Odd that the BBC news doen’t even bother to tell us which day that might be?

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5411522/nicola-sturgeon-plots-to-eradicate-the-union-flag-and-will-refuse-to-fly-it-for-the-queens-birthday/

    Oddly for a progessive it seems to be all about flags and nationalism – does that compute? No wonder the BBC is content to brush the story under the carpet.

    I do hope in future our Nicola will confine herself to one annual appearance on the BRITISH Broadcasting Corp.

      I have long failed to see anything positive or constructive coming from the mouth of Sturgeon.
      She has long stated her adoration of all things Scottish and her clear loathing of all things British (English), except for our money, and this is yet another carefully calculated knifing, knowing the emotional connection and high regard the union flag is held in throughout the rest of Britain (especially England). Disgraceful, but not unexpected from this loathsome woman.

    So the bBC plays its cards by knocking out a story about how nasty the Kurds are, and that Turkey is doing the right thing is which to teach these terrorists a lesson.
    Points to note bBC CSs
    1) Syria ceded the Kurdish areas to the Kurds , so as to allow them to fight ISIS and the rest thrus allowing the Assad regime to relocate the troops there to places in central Syria
    2) Hatay is a region which was stolen from Syria by the colonial power -France- and given to another. Turkey, yet whilst the bBC claims this is ok, it doesn’t share that magnanimous point of view when it comes to Israel, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Kashmir, funny that,
    3) The map showing the state of play in the region paints a picture of Syrian rebel forces holding the land between the 2 Kurdish enclaves. The fact remains , the area was taken by Turkish forces in an attempt to stop the Kurds linking up and is still held by….Turks. The current attack on the Kurds can also be seen as a reply to the Syrian advance on the Idlib area these past few weeks,where the Turkish FSA have been getting a kicking
    4) Upto 2 years ago, the Turks were treating ISIS terrorists in its hospitals, they only changed their tune when the world started to take note, which is why after a suicide bomb struck a Kurdish wedding , the Turks declared war on ISIS , and attacked….the Kurds. Using former ISIS terrorists wearing the uniform of the FSA.

    The bBC rewriting the facts, in which to paint a positive picture of the Turks. Now when was the last time the bBC did likewise with the US/UK/Israel/India on taking the fight back to so called Terrorists. Then it’s a human rights issue . I mean look at the bBCs coverage of Yemen. Same story different coverage,

      Could the change of tone be something to do with Turkey being an EU ‘accession’ state, holding the EU to ransom over processing of migrants on condition its EU status is accelerated. Something that got alarm bells ringing pre-referendum, like the European army, but was slapped away as not going to happen other than in the minds of fantasists. Unless you happen to read the official policy as stated on the home page of the British Embassy, Ankara.

    Since the Jordan Peterson Cathy Newman interview I have been looking a number of his videos on U Tube and those of others who dare to challenge or conform to the liberal left consensus. Whilst there are glimmers of light , such as the above interview when JP showed how empty the feminist cause is of facts and logic, the overall outlook is terrifyingly bleak. In his videos on the way that Post Modernists are taking control of vast swathes of the public space JP makes a powerful case for urgent action being required or it will be too late to stop these maniacs. His analysis of how these PM work and where the results is highly disturbing but it explains why so many seemingly crazy things happen in the last ten years. We live in dangerous times.
    I hope that JPs debunking of the feminist cause is a similar moment as when Ed Murrow so effectively punctured McCarthy’s balloon in the early fifties. But with the almost total control that the PM inspired leftists have of the media I somehow doubt it. They will try and take JP down not by direct confrontation he is too clever for them but by their usual underhand tactics .

However polite, reasoned and thoughtful JP was in the face of a barrage of irrational hostility he has been painted as the villain of the piece. Underhand indeed.

      It will have raised many people’s awareness. It is so hard to kick back when they are such bullies and you can go to prison for having the wrong opinion.

      The ‘wage gap’ is believed with a religious zeal akin to that of Christ’s divinity during the Dark Ages, yet he exposed this belief to be nonsense. How many other enforced beliefs are equally spurious? The whole equal outcomes nonsense is just as ridiculous yet believed with a religious fervour by those who hold institutional power.

        “How many other enforced beliefs are equally spurious?”

        Notice how we have been fed the idea of gender. First it was introduced as a polite alternative to ‘sex’, avoiding the confusion between the ‘act’ and the ‘state’. This led to some changing the headers on forms – according to my birth certificate I am defined by ‘sex’ but the NHS defines me by ‘gender’. I recall a lady GP from Bristol, possibly on Jeremy Vine, many years ago wondering what it meant, was it ‘feelings’ versus ‘reality’?

        This is something that Prof. Peterson has picked up upon, the rational reality that has given us all the technical wonders of the modern age is now under threat. The Marxist/Post Modernists, call them what you will, have taken over the liberal arts at universities, swept through the social sciences and are now making their assault on science itself – the product of rationality.

        Thus biology is just a ‘social construct’, ‘gender’ is the new ‘reality’, a reality that is so transcendental that ‘gender fluidity’ is considered to be a state of being that even government ministers accept!

        Peterson, (like any sane person), can see ‘the emperor has no clothes’ and strongly defends biology, denying that there is a spectrum of ‘genders’ – ‘99.999% of us identify as the sex we were born with’.

          Jim,
          I have tried hard to understand what PM is about but it seems an elusive concept to say the least. What is clear to me is that it threatens the very foundations upon which modern western society is founded. As you say it is now trying to-propose that even well proven scientific truth is disputable, or as the PMs would say a construct. What I find particularly hard to understand is that the PM and their followers are in alliance with Islam in their combined attempts to bring down the West. But Islam is so dogmatic and intolerant , the Koran is the truth and indestputable and you must live as it decrees no alternative views allowed, how these two diametrically opposed philosophies can get along together is well beyond me.

            Double, you’ve hit on something that baffles me entirely, how hysterical neo-fascistyliberalism and post-marxmodernyneolithic feminism is so vocal in support of, eg, women of a certain faith to cover themselves up completely in black capes in the name of emancipation, to ‘understand’ those who sympathise with the murder of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, to screech loudly when Trump reposts a video of a gay man being thrown off a building for being gay but to say nothing about the murderous act itself… how these things can dovetail is utterly beyond me too.

          Jim, exactly, what worries me at unis now is that it goes beyond the liberal arts and is extended into ‘no platforming’ for anybody with a view that the liberal bullies do not agree with. What happened to “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. How do our young ones learn skills of reason and debate when they are being told what to think. OR ELSE!

            Mont, the level of control of spoken subject matter and even thought process’s is indeed frightening. It is a very short step from ‘protecting’ our vulnerable youth from ‘Hate Speech’ and ‘Fakenews’ by no platforming and safe space provision to presenting a homogenised Marxist narrative as the only viewpoint worthy of consideration.
            As someone said earlier, dangerous times.

              honestus, yes ‘free speech’ is being swiftly remodelled as ‘hate speech’ to silence any voice that strays from the party line, it really IS Orwellian and I can hardly believe how comprehensively it’s sweeping unis here and in the US. The Beeb is the most prominent example of mind control, I’m only thankful that my two teens are aware that our state broadcaster is not the ‘truth’ and that other brands are available! Even though they both have Beeb on screens in their schools, they won’t be paying license fees when they come of age, they won’t need to. No doubt that’s why the self-preservation society is aiming to infiltrate schools to ‘re-educate’ children into buying in to the homogenised Marxist narrative.. scary.

      The amazing thing about the outcry of the vitriol directed at Newman is that they are even talking about it.

      So hate speak and death threats levelled at Jordan Peterson and Tommy Robinson are totally fine because they are guys and should just ‘man up’ and deal with it.

      Yet when there are equally unpleasant and stupid messages directed at Jess Philips or Cathy Newman, it’s newsworthy because…what…these women are frail and need to be protected?

      Hardly indicative of equality is it?

        Payne, I honestly (no pun intended) think that gender, although the topic of conversation here, is not the real issue. It is all about the narrative and whether you promote the correct narrative and are part of the liberal progressive tribe – or are not. (in which case you are right wing/far right/alt right).
        That being the ‘correct’ gender doesn’t get any brownie points for Kellyanne Conway or Katie Hopkins is somewhat of a massive understatement.

    this morning on Radio 4 ‘Today there was an astounding series of admissions, presumably because the BBC are so comfortable with being ‘right’ they think everyone else is on board.

    The report is from Davos where President Trump is about to arrive, and the two stars of the show are Trump & Macron apparently.

    In the blue corner is Trump – Free market economics with a dash of protectionism, and in the Red Macron & Trudeau with a globalist open borders agenda.

    He went on to say that Trumps policies had made everyone in the country better offer – but is that really what the people want ??

    Seriously?? The BBC is so committed to the idiocy of Socialism and the EU that it believes a productive active economy is in some way worse than a moribund failing one committed to making everyone poorer?

    I forget the reporters name – one of the more well known ones, I think most of us have known all this but to hear a drone report it officially is quite a shock.

        When it comes out how much corruption existed with Clinton, Obama, collusion and the endlessly pushed narrative that Trump was bad, there’s going to be some horrible grovelling and I can totally understand not being so keen to say forget about it when we joining the chorus of slagging him off.

        If and when it does come out about Trump, I’m sure the Beeb will claim in shock horror that they were lied to and misinformed rather than admitting that they were just as guilty of pushing the dangerous Trump narrative.

    2013-14: 583

    2015-16: 732
    2016-17: 916
    Well , if you take one year (15-16/16-17) it’s only 25% and it you take 13/14 -16/17 it’s only 57%.. and none of this splits it by type of case….and as the CPS say this is less than 0.15% of all cases

If you read it in detail the headline is misleading as usual, and take a look at the photo at the top showing the scantily clad band members. You have to wonder why the hell she is taking her 8, yes 8 year old daughter to observe the gyrations of these young women. This article highlights the hypocrisy of the Beeb yet again. One minute claiming that men are the abusers (report about the FT journo going undercover) and yet the blatant promotion of sex to young girls is fine when it suits.

      I read that article in a nutshell the mother booked 6 tickets for 3 deaf adults and 3 girls. She then demanded a signer for the 3 adults. The company gave them upgraded tickets, access to private accessible toilets and complementary tickets in which to allow them to bring their own signer. She stood her ground and at the 11th hour they paid for their own signer. However she wasn’t happy that the singer only turned up for the main act and not the 2 supporting gigs, and so she is going to sue.

      She’s having a giraffe, she’s Mutt and jeff and thus is denied by the grace of god, things we take for granted and nothing anybody can do will make her the equal of a fully healthy person. Its the same with blind, people with missing limbs and the like. You can roll out as much legislation as you want, at the end of the day, They will never (I am sorry to say) enjoy the things the rest of us take for granted.

      And yet to to the likes of the bBC, their liberal minded friends and human rights mafia everybody else must pay for their leftwing wing agenda in which to afford a so called equality which at the end of the day isn’t. I mean just look at how the left have lowered entry standards for women in the Police,Fire service and military. Only last week we had the case of a female police dog handler suing (and winning) as she couldn’t run 10 miles and then carry her dog 100 metres on her back.

        Well said. I think it was the fact that the signer had to be independently lit and be provided with a sheet list of the performance and I assume song lyrics as signing whilst listening must be nigh on impossible.

        I’m also assuming that the signer would probably try to dance or at least move in time to the music so as not to look like the stilted cardigan wearing ones that you used to get on the TV at 2 in the morning, so advance notice of the set and songs would be helpful.

        Hence with the support acts, who as someone has said are grateful for the exposure, they probably don’t have their set locked down or lyrics printed wouldn’t be able to work with the signer.

        So I guess unless as a support act you have all your lyrics typed up and your set pre planned and your routine authenticated under article 748 of the fair Signing convention, you just can’t perform. And all because of one short tempered, intolerant, unaccommodating mother.

        Still, she didn’t want one of the deaf daughters missing out on the experience that the non-deaf daughter received. I’m really sorry that your daughter is deaf but you and she needs to start dealing with the reality that she won’t be sharing the exact same experiences that an able bodied person will do.

        Yes, we can try and make things easier but a little patience and understanding from this mother that maybe the world or at least the concert and the groups involved don’t all circle around her bitter selfish little life would be helpful.

        Still, good of the Beeb to run with it and give this creature some free publicity for her totally unreasonable case. Just another example of someone not being able to grasp the concept of No. Sounds like a great individual to raise children.

      Dystopian,

      You have to get with the program and realise you need some sort of victim status to truly understand what equality means in today’s heroic corporate world.

      In the temp job I recently left I noticed a few things too (anectodal obviously).

      a) Local woman voices concern about increased workload (having to deal with complex phone queries) while pressed to keep up usual productivity on other back office processing. She was taken aside and (I guess) was told to conform or go. She left at the end of the week. Being just female and caucasian didn’t quite cut it.

      b) Awful (yes really awful) ‘only gay in the village’ bloke disparaging about pretty much all of his colleagues, a catty and sarcastic cross between Owen Jones and Stalin. He lasted months there perched on his progressive gay-rights high-horse even though nobody would willingly sit next to him.
      Eventually I heard he flounced out one day, never to return. Anyone else that unpopular would have been replaced much much faster.

      c) ‘Asian’ man whose first name began with M. In the 3 months he was on our team he never completed a whole week, and never phoned in beforehand to let them know about his mysterious impromptu days off. The rest of us vaguely heard about ‘family problems’. It was only in my last week that I overheard the managers saying that he might need a proper ‘chat’ to see exactly what the problem was. You could tell they were uneasy about having to do it. If I had tried that I’d have been out on my ear pronto.

    ..Great Ormond Street Hospital has declared it will return the money.*

    Hangon .. our local newspaper just a few weeks back had story was about a Charity LADIES NIGHT
    So all those Ladies Nights’ charities will giving their money back ?
    one story

    Another

    * At the interview they were told the rules for the night : pretty, wearing black underwear and high heels and the rest of costume would be provided.
    ..so it shouldn’t have been a surprise .
    The complaint she made seems to be about a sexual joke.
    – Yes some men got handy ..one flashed his penis.
    – I don’t think this is a NEW story I think it was on the radio before Christmas.

    I guess Canadians have been feeling well, ‘out-of-it’ over the past year or so as other Western countries can list large scale islamic terror and murders on their soil along with serious levels of rioting and rapes. They, on the other hand, have taken in the islamists yet, to date, there has not been any major reciprocal gratitude in the way of ‘pay-back’ for them reaching out to the islamic refugees and virtually few terror related incidents pro rata. This may have changed.

    We are used to the vague reporting of the police, press and Government when terror incidents occur. We are used to “a lorry”, “a van” or “a (no-named or described) man” being totally responsible for murder. The Canadians are embarking on the random terror and the cute way the ‘system’ has of describing it and its adherents.

    “The number of those in work increased sharply and wages rose at their fastest rate in almost a year, the Office for National Statistics said.
    That leaves the UK’s unemployment rate at a four-decade low of 4.3%”

    BUT: the growth in wages at 2.4% remained below inflation at 3.1% in November, leaving real wages lower for than a year earlier.

    “Nevertheless, inflation remains higher than pay growth and so the real value of earnings continues to decline.”

    No scantily dressed women; all banter and humour thought crime in case it offends someone; women forced into jobs they might hate like IT engineer to ‘fix’ the ‘problem’ of their underrepresentation in that field. The heaven they want sounds more like hell to me.

    Now they report on some insensitive Tweets by Phil Neville! The thought Police have come for him!

    “You want equality except when it comes to paying the bills,” he Tweeted.

    Exactly! How many feminists who moan about the ‘wage gap’ marry high earning men who pay for everything? When I get the 5am train it is 95% men – such inequality!

        Based on what? If anything the opposite is true.

        Why on earth do the BBC lead their bulletin with her entirely spurious claims of racism, with no examination whatsoever of the legal issues? There must be sound legal reasons for the decision which have nothing whatsoever to do with race. There is no area of corporate manslaughter which states: “If the victim is black the law does not apply.” Honestly, how ridiculous can you get?

        The BBC is a parody of itself. It just gets worse and worse.

    Earlier FedUp notes that the bBC will not report on Wee Burney’s banning of the Union flag on Scottish public buildings to celebrate HMQ’s birthday.
    This deflection tactic which is a complete and intentional insult to HMQ follows the Irish p.m’s side swipe at the UK in his recent EU comments and reference to our fallen in WW2.

    You can conclude that Sturgeon and the Irish P.M are well and truly in cahoots and more will follow – and it will be under-reported or not reported by the totally discredited bBC( and in particular, the republican guard arm calling itself bBC Scotland..

      The Irish PM needs to shut his f**king mouth!!! Gobshite!!! In 1914 my Grandfather, an Irish Catholic enlisted in the British army, he survived both Somme offensives… He was transferred to The Gordon Highlanders from what was left of his battalion the Royal Post Office Rifles after the Battle of Loos wiped out approx. 70% of thier numbers (however they still managed to get to thier objective, and along with the Newfoundlers were the only ones who did!!) After promotion he was sent to the Gordons, and they too took heavy losses as they were part of the first wave during the second Somme offensive in the latter part of the war…
      Meanwhile… In Dublin… The Irish Republic Army decided to start an armed revolt which resulted in the deaths of many Irish civilians, Irish Post Office workers, Irish policemen, and some Irish soldiers who were on leave from the front line…. The foundations of the Irish Free State are built on the graves of those who died… Armed with German weapons, and without a thought for those who would be caught in the crossfire they carried out a senseless attack which had no chance of success…. After the Easter rising those who took part were jeered and verbally abused by the people of Dublin after they surrendered…. When my Grandfather returned after the war he moved to the North and went back to his job as a postman. Mainly due to the fact those same Irish Republicans made life as difficult as possible for those returning home..
      Ironically the present Government of Ireland due to its` bankrupt treasury is once again subject to overseas rule by the EU and also the interference of the Irish Catholic Church / Rome…
      I am proud of my Grandfather, and the reasons behind him enlisting…. Myself and my brother were born in England and value our British identities, as do our extended family who live in Co.Derry.. They like us, have no wish to live in a United Ireland as they have little in common with the political beliefs which fester within the small minded morally corrupt Dublin Eurocrats and the outdated and the unwanted religious dogma of the Church of Ireland…

    An earlier posting carries a newspaper showing that the Palestians are calling a general strike to protest against the visit of US vice president Pence. Well I suppose it makes a change from the regular “days of action”, which seem to involve smashing up the place and lobbing rockets at Israel, a state that the Hamas terrorist organization is committed to wipe from the face of the earth.

    They start young in Corbyn’s favourite terrorist body, no offence IRA. A popular treat on Hamas children’s TV is Nahul the bumblebee. Well I say bumblebee, but in reality he is a man in fancy dress who incites all the children to “shoot all the Jews” when they grow up.

    If I was Jewish I would be a little worried about the Labour party at the moment. Somehow I would not be reassured by the recent internal inquiry into anti Semitism by Shami Chakrabarti that cleared the party on all counts. A grateful Corbyn promptly promoted her to Lady Whitewash, where she sits to this day in the House of Lords in all her unelected splendor.

This Austrain drag act was the one who won Eurovision using chiefly a ball gown and a maniucured beard. The bloke has done nothing since-yet he`s soon to get the U2 treatment from our taxes. Virtue signals as ever-don`t ask, we`ll be paying.
    Even Abba didn`t get this when they won Eurovision, let alone Teach-In or Vicky Leandros. Reader I turned off, and will see the Vine impressionist without the bloody BBC and its deviance grooming agendas.

      I doubt that the British working class kids were any more racist to east European workers than the Mau Mau were to British soldiers in the 1950s. Indigenous populations in any country, quite rightly, don’t like being invaded by a bunch of aliens. Mother Nature made us that way. Was Nelson Mendela a racist? Of course he was. His first duty was to his own kind. I wish our leaders would do the same.

As the cult increasingly carves itself a chunk of this green and pleasant land, the question for the BBC directed at Treezer should be, did the islamicists play any part in writing her speech.
