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…..

    “Will Self’s Great British Bus Journey”
    from the Brainwashing Britain Corporation
    13:45pm every day next week on Radio 4
    … trailer mentions working class kids being racist to east European workers
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09qrk3y/episodes/guide

    In this first edition, Will’s journey takes him to Plymouth, once the cockpit of British naval power – a time when national identity was clear and certain.
    – Over ten programmes and two weeks, Will’s trip takes him to Swansea, West Bromwich, Wolverhampton, Preston, Middlesbrough, East Kilbride and Derry-Londonderry. In the fish and chip shops, the B&Bs, the pubs and car repair garages, Will debates the state of British identity – and discovers that Britain today has become a highly debatable land.

    Does the BBC care about working class men ?
    … We first got the vote 100 years ago in 1918
    ..previously it was restricted to the landed 60% of men

    Funny I haven’t heard the BBC mention that
    They only celebrate that women over 30 first got the vote

    I’m hearing about some new set up where ‘fake news’ is going to be looked at.
    Even at this embryo stage I will not believe what they come out with. All we will get is the spin on the news item that these fake news watchers want to put on the news.
    We don’t trust the bbc to deliver the truth any more and any body set up to tell us what the true story is will be presenting the news item how they want it to be seen.
    They criticise Trump for twitter messages but these are at least truthful. What they don’t like is that we are hearing about these tweets before they can be manipulated and then presented to us.

    On a different subject.
    On pmq’s she was asked about the hounding of a benefit claimant who was sanctioned for not trying hard enough to look for and find any work.
    Are our diverse ropers also hounded in a similar fashion as I’ve heard something like 70% or more are on benefits.
    Will all the doctors, Scientists and engineers milling about in Calais, looking for trucks to hide in, also be sanctioned if they don’t look for work when they arrive here.

      It gladdens me that lefties in the meedja support all this, because of course, they just take a huge wedge home every week, with no fear of losing their ‘jobs’.

        The new benefits system was piloted in ashton take a peak in Tameside job clubs where jobless people are forced to attend daily, for 30 hours a week using the computer to apply for reoccurring false jobs that dont exist and jobs they are completely unqualified to do.

        The BBC would be appalled by the lack of diversity in the job seekers, every single one shockingly white despite it being the most diverse area that you wouldnt want to imagine.

      The bBBC couldn’t believe their luck this morning. This journalist is a career SJW who is supposedly ‘worldly wise’. That she is shocked and does not know what goes on at these sort of events is therefore staggering to me. Did the alarm bells not start ringing when she was told what she was expected to wear? Why didn’t she turn the job down at that point? She took a job from another woman who probably needed the money much more than her. I know plenty of women who could do that hostess job, fend off the guys attentions, have a laugh, and not batt an eyelid. She was clearly not cut out for working in the real world, YES, the world beyond the ‘up your own arse media bubble’. Now those hostess jobs are gonna disappear, and money given back from cash strapped services. I bet she is feeling smug and morally superior to all around her, a nice little earner for her, and a big boost for her career. I hope I’m not investigated next by her, I once bought a Mars bar from a newsagents that sold Playboy magazine.

        I was listening to the ranting and faux outrage on PM this evening. Apparently the women had to sign a non disclosure upon accepting the “job”
        They conveniently had a woman who only agreed to be interviewed if their words were spoken by an actor.
        They also had someone who “didn’t want to be named” who went to one of these events a few years ago.
        There were women who had been to these events before who knew exactly what they were to expect.
        They even stated that they knew that more money could be earned if they accompanied men to their hotel rooms.
        Question. Why did they plant the “undercover investigators” in the first place?
        This smacks of a set up to me. None of the women who signed the non disclosure forms are going to speak out for legal reasons. It’s a shame the “undercover” ones can’t be sued as they too must have signed to get the gig.
        Again it’s women manipulating men with their short skirts and sexy high heels (their words not mine) and then acting all disgusted when they get propositioned.

    The BBC crows about how few Tory MPs display their allegiance on Twitter, without telling us the most likely cause – left wing Twitter brown shirts.

    And before a lefty pops up and says that that’s just my opinion based on my own experiences, it isn’t. Have a look at the table on page 22 of this report, which looked at 188,000 abusive tweets: https://www.demos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Signal-and-Noise-Demos.pdf

          Call me old fashioned, in fact call me anything you like, but it won’t alter the fact that many of these kids just do not get family values in the same way. Maybe it’s because one of the parents has disappeared (another deplorable thing to do), or they just don’t care any more.

          If anyone wanted to give the waitresses any advice it might just be ‘Keep an eye open for the odd tweak, if you don’t like the work, do something else’.

              A lot of us are old fashioned Scrob. I remember pushing the limits as a teenager as to how far I could test my Dad with my short skirt before I went out (we’re talking a couple of inches here), without him saying “I can see what you’ve had for breakfast ! and my Mum always told me to “sit on it” if a lad starts getting frisky – I still chuckle at the thought. They weren’t prudes by any means, but caring parents who knew the pitfalls, and we forget they had been teenagers themselves.

              You only have to remember the up to the neck fashions that Dusty/Cilla/Lulu/Sandy wore at the time, which compared to today we were almost nun-like in our dress as we copied them. Another generation but the fellas still tried it on – its part of life and you deal with it, not cry in your cornflakes because a bloke grabbed your boobies.

              Thing is, it was mainly Dad who went out to work, so Mum was at home doing the dinner on the table thing, and our needs were simple. They scrimped all year to give us a ‘good Christmas’ and we went without the rest of the time. I’m not doing a history lesson, as we can all harp back to those carefree summers in the 50’s, but as soon as 2 parents went out to work for a ‘better’ life, gradually over decades and another generation, discipline and morals went out of the window. Because of all the moaning and whingeing, and a world where male and female is being called into question, then I’m glad I’m in the late Autumn of my years.

                The idea now that “it’s part of life and you deal with it” has been deliberately taught out of people, to be replaced with an instant rush to an authority figure who can make a Victim/Oppressor judgement.

                As Benjamin Franklin said: “Common sense with no education, is better than education with no common sense“.

    BBC’s latest bid for the Trump Derangement Syndrome Oscar
    Donald Trump’s ‘hatred of sharks’ benefits conservation charities
    The US president’s dislike for the marine animal was revealed last week in an In Touch Weekly interview with adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

    He reportedly said that he would never give money to shark charities, adding: “I hope all sharks die.”

    Shark conservation groups have since noted an uptick in donations, one with the message: “Because Trump.”

    Front Row about the science fiction writer who has died; obviously they have to take a feminist slant on it.

    The national broadcaster should reflect broadly the nation’s interests. If you want to hear about race and gender all day, there are plenty of websites you can visit. 99% of people just do not care about gender yet it seems to constitute half of their output. Nearly every story on the main news bulletin today was about women’s issues in some way.

    Why not hear about her science fiction? That would be interesting. But no – more f**king feminism. They are bonkers.

    What a strange and bizarre world this has turned out to be. Twenty years ago you couldn’t have made it up; the digital madness hadn’t taken over yet, even though action self-destruct was gathering pace.
    Last night I was trying to search for some rational path to understanding the madness, but beyond identifying a state of disease and that TV played a role, we didn’t get far. (RJ seemed bang on !)
    Perhaps there is no point trying to understand something utterly irrational by rational means?
    The words of Enoch Powell ring in my ears, about how mad we had to be. But even he could have had no idea. He was spared from seeing the full dimensions. The absurd attempts to denigrate men, for instance. The endless obsession with virtue signalling. Look at meeee! One could ignore them, but they do great damage. Reckless doesn’t describe it.
    Millions of minds out there, eager to hurl abuse, apparently incapable of reason. Everyone screaming about morality at a time when there seems to be pretty little of it; or of shame; or of self-discipline. Masses like sheep, easily led. Scrap that, it seems an insult to our woolly friends…
    One answer is simply not to watch stuff. To push the ‘off’ button. But why should we? They are our media as well. That’s why we continue on these pages….

    etc ‘parties’ because “there was a cultural issue of not wanting to rock the multicultural boat” (Daily Telegraph). “warnings went unheeded, evidence was destroyed and, when her team gave information to outside police forces, she was reprimanded and accused of distortion and unprofessionalism”. “In 2010, a 17-year-old named Laura Wilson was murdered by a young gang member after he discovered that Wilson’s child, which he believed was his, had been fathered by his older uncle”. (All quotes from the Telegraph).

    So there is an institutional attempt to cover these appalling events up. Obviously the BBC falls into line, except if race isn’t called into question. Reminiscent of Sweden or New Years Eve in Cologne? Hmmm, maybe….

    It’s fake news time at the BBC.
    Anyone watch Blue Plant 2? In which the ‘amazing behaviour of dolphins swimming with surfers for fun’ was shown.
    To be fair, great coverage, great photography.
    But not perhaps quite so amazing.
    Just come back from South Africa. At Jeffrey’s Bay, a famous spot for the surfing fraternity, we learned local surfers routinely surf with the dolphins, who are always wandering around in the bay. Meanwhile just down the coast we looked out one evening and with little effort watched dolphins surfing the waves with our own eyes.

    So, not quite the rare event portrayed by the bBBC, is it?
    And not quite so hard to film, is it?
    And not quite the amazing news as shown by the bBBC, is it?

    That free-on-public-transport rag- Metro had a write up yesterday about Darren Osbourne, the man accused of ‘Killing a Mosque’

    “‘Mosque killer obsessed with grooming gang’”

    It’s a total libtard hatchet-job of a report. It doesn’t occur to the writer of the article that it might be normal to be outraged about pet-groomers [Newspeak for filthy child rapists]. It might be normal, not “extreme right wing” to want to do something about it.
    In true libtard fashion they took the opportunity to unfairly connect Tommy Robinson’s name with the incident.

    The best bit…………
    O DEAR! It’s not only the internet that made him do it but…….
    THE BBC!

    Metro is reporting that the man was inspired to kill Muslims by The BBC Three Girls program.

    “A DRIVER accused of deliberately mowing down a group of Muslims outside a mosque developed bigoted views after seeing a TV drama about grooming gangs, a court heard yesterday.
    Darren Osborne is said to have been enraged by the BBC’s Three Girls, based on the real-life abuse of vulnerable teenagers in Rochdale by men mainly of Pakistani origin”

    “Bigoted views” [Not healthy moral outrage]
    Men of Pakistani Origin [Not Muslims]

    Classic Libtard blame-shifting
    The Metro has made no judgement concerning the actual “Groomers”. Gang-raping children couldn’t possibly be framed as the root cause of the incident.

    Someone needs to drain the media swamp in this country and scrub it out with a powerful detoxifying agent.

      I make no apology for this-if it saves just ONE old bloke from dying of natural causes by a hired van, then that`ll justify getting the BBC off the screens.
      Might I add that a contributory, complicating factor may well have been the number of repeats, Linekers salary, endless panel shows that are dated and totally unfunny-and(of course) the endless recommissioning of Citizen Khan and any bloody piece of shit with Sir Lenward Henry-Bolton.

      I caught a very brief glimpse last night of a programme/report about this incident where they were playing the recording of the supposed call to the emergency services. Did anyone who saw it notice that the guy on the phone said he (the driver) had killed lots of people? Wasn’t there only one person lying in the street who had already collapsed supposedly having a heart attack or something.
      One could almost suspect that the call was scripted.
      Was the whole thing staged? I wonder. Seems dodgy to me.
      Why ring up saying he’s killed lots of people?

        Dystopian,
        The story doesn’t stand up. As I remember it, we were told at first that one man died and he had already suffered a heart attack just prior to the ‘incident’. Then there were the aerial view photos which clearly showed the van was on the opposite side of the railway line from the mosk (deliberate misspelling). So ‘not outside a mosk’ a Muslim had a heart attack might have been a more accurate headline.

      Here is an excellent comment about this story on Guido:
      This story is really making my blood boil. I’ve now read a number of accounts of the event. The BBC website account and accompanying sensational video (unsurprisingly) reads like a total hatchet job of the event and its attendees. As far as I can make out, there are two sides to this story.
      a) The story as told by the FT hack who specifically attended the event undercover in an pre-determined attempt to ‘uncover’ sexual misdeeds by rich, white, powerful men. All reports of sexual impropriety have come from this one woman alone. Her claims that ‘another hostess told me’ are, as far as I am aware, unproven.
      b) The story as told by everyone else who attended the event. There have been no complaints from any of the hostesses. The company that hired the hostesses was not aware of any complaints either. Attendees of the event did not witness any of the claims and there were no complaints to the Dorchester. Even David Walliams (who desperately tried to distance himself from the story), said that while he was there, he didn’t witness anything untoward.
      As a result of the say so of one hack with a clear agenda, a charity has folded, dying children have lost access to much needed money, men have been pressured to stand down from their roles and an MP has been reprimanded. The whole thing is highly sinister.

    Theresa May appoints a female British Muslim Ms Sara Khan (who looks to be in her late twenties / early thirties (?)) as head of the governments new Commission for Countering Extremism tasked with rooting out extremism within Britain.

    Already this has received a loud complaint from 47 year old British Muslim Sayeeda Hussain Warsi (otherwise known as Baroness Warsi who over ten years ago, then aged only 37, was made a life peer and a permanent member of the House of Lords) saying “many British Muslims considered Ms Khan a “mouthpiece” of ministers”. That is Baroness Hussain Warsi is claiming that Ms Khan is a sell out to British Muslims.

    Reading all about this it does seem to be “all about the Muslims” with representatives of the Muslim community now controlling and leading the British Governments fight against extremism within Britain.

      Baroness Warsi is basically a muslim political activist, her primary loyalty is towards islam not the Tory party or the UK. I have no idea if Ms Khan is the right person for this position, though whether the person is a muslim or not shouldnt be part of the decision process. The Beeb article is another hatchet job on Prevent, the only program we have to counter radicalisation.

        Get tired of this “Pakistani, British or French”labels for Muslims. No Muslim rates a antion state-they`r the umma and need a caliphate to join them up if their Allah is as all powerful and triumphant as they know he ie.

    It really is astonishing that throughout the #Metoo movement they have barely found a single non white perpetrator, and certainly no ROP individuals. Yet there were at least 1400 victims in Rotherham alone, let alone Oxford, Aylesbury, Rochdale, Bristol et alia.

    They are all into reporting abuse, but they did a whole Panorama special about people trying to report abuse in Halifax and instead prosecuted those reporting it for inciting racial hatred, leaving thousands more girls to be abused.

    Sometimes I feel like the BBC might have an agenda, or maybe it is just ‘Russian bots’ making me think that.

      People may have tried to use the #metoo hashtag on Twitter to report ROPers but their Twitter accounts would be shut down as Twitter rules say “the (abusive) behavior is targeted at an individual or group of people”.

    I must commend to those of you who can access it an article in this week’s Spectator by John O’Sullivan on the power struggle between east and west in Europe. He says that Germany and France are basically using the supranational powers of the EU to combat the democratic will of the people in the Visegrad group and Austria. Whilst at the same time seeing a similar upsurge of support for policies popular with the ordinary people in their own countries. He predicts that unless the likes of Merkel and Macron and the rest of the political elite eg our Remaniacs, treat those they disparagingly label populists as equals they will Lose the battle.This is a cheering article and one which gives you a lift .

    Our first duty is still to the EU it seems so indigenous white British will come nowhere . European Court of Justice must be obeyed for a further 2 years of transition ( to what?). Eastern European gangsters will continue to import prostitutes and slave labour into the U.K. More illegal migrants will come in with our border force turning a blind eye. Deportation of illegals will continue to be almost non existent . We will continue to hand over billions to the EU both during transition and permanently thereafter to continue to allow the EU to give freebies to Eastern Europe. Meanwhile EU countries will access the U.K. market for nothing .
    Despite all this to preserve the Maybot in

    Into the depths we go … Piltdown Man … 41 years of fake news from 1912 … believed by many … reported by many … because IT HAD TO BE TRUE … did the BBC report it?

    . . .

    In 1912, the amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson claimed that he had discovered the “missing link” between ape and man.

    The Piltdown hoax is prominent for two reasons: the attention it generated around the subject of human evolution, and the length of time, 41 years, that elapsed from its alleged initial discovery to its definitive exposure as a composite forgery. {wiki}

    Indian-bias on BBC Asian Network
    It seems that to the BBC, British Asians only means South Asians (people of Indian/Pakistani origins).
    This is most obvious in the programmes of the Asian Network. It only promotes issues and people with links to India and Pakistan or Bangladesh.

    If you go the site, you can see what I mean. They are full of ‘Indian events’. *

    Well..working from home – listening to woman’s hour. They have the words of a female helper at the Presidents club – “They were all told it was an all male night, some might be a bit handsy” before they took the job on by the woman who ran the agency selecting them – they were told “if it isn’t for you please tell me now” – they were given the same advice on the night and told to tell any man that did anything wrong to stop and go to the head woman. The worker said the vast majority were sweet, interesting men who talked about their families and work but there “were some drunker handsy men” ..the worst she had was one holding her hand or another putting his arm around her waist – She seemed pretty sanguine and relaxed with it all..
