Weekened Open Thread

 

A salacious and very dodgy dossier on Trump produced by a man who was ‘desperate’ to stop him being elected and paid for by the Democrats was pretty much accepted as ‘fact’ by the BBC that had to be unproved rather than proved.  A massive and extremely damaging exposure of US intelligence material by Snowden , who was quite likely a Russian spy and not a whistle-blower, was championed by the BBC as a necessary leak that revealed the extent of US surveillance of communications rather than the treacherous and dangerous betrayal that it really was especially considering we already knew that the US could ‘hoover up’ just about every communication by phone or on the internet at will…so Snowden’s ‘revelation’ was nothing new there but damagingly also revealed US intelligence techniques and exposed its agents to likely capture and possible death.  Contrast how the BBC treated the leaked emails from the Democrats and Clinton, the BBC, not at all interested in their content, instead preferred to concentrate on who leaked them and to try and link the leak to the Russians and by association Trump.  The BBC did all it could to dismiss the emails as irrelevant and to undermine their importance.  A similar tactic is being employed with the ‘memo’ that is said to show the FBI’s actions were politicised and in concert with the Democrats.  The BBC is doing all it can to discredit the memo and adopts an entirely negative and critical tone towards it giving more space and credibility to the Democrat/FBI voices that try to cast doubt upon it than on examining the truth.

All very telling about how the BBC sees the world and what highly partisan messages it wants to brainwash its audience into believing.

Anymore BBC bias…list it all here…

    Dont `tell the BBC but -every night-in their run up to the ten O clock news-they gave a montage of their finest talking earnestly to camera.

      Jane Standley was the one who reported the 9-11 attacks and collapse of building WTC7 whilst it was still standing behind her in full camera view. Then it fell down, as reported, sometime later.

      The BBC list of excuses for this “error in reporting” are in the link below. Comments could have gone better!

        Tabs, that is curious. I am not one for conspiracies, believing the cock up theory of history. But did Jane Standley did appear to have reported on events that had yet to happen. She has said, she was repeating what sent to her ear piece. So, it could have been coincidental cock up.

        But as the BBC says in the page to which you linked us: “We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage”. Ah yes of course you would wipe all tapes of the single most important event of the 21st century thus far. Actually BBC, all tv channels record their output so that if anyone complains about something going out live then it can be checked.

        It is odd, amusing, stuff for drunken chat, but I’ll stick by my cock up theory of history.

          It matters not – Jane Standley either a willing participant in a conspiracy or just good old fashioned incompetent, unprofessional and incurious journalist.
          Any of these admirable qualities would make her perfect “BBC journalist” material, judging by what I listen to on R4 on a daily basis. Maybe they should have given her a pay rise after all.

              Jane Standley was pushed out BBC for her reporting on WTC7 20 minutes before it was bought down (7 secs – no fire or plane) along with the BBC reporter who repeatedly said he was hearing explosions. The video is still on Utube. Scientists and architects for 9/11 Truth show a large digial advert in NYC Times Square every September showing WT7 building collapsing in 7 seconds. I saw it myself when living in NYC and that started my awakening!

      And-Guest Who–that phrase “comments could be going better” is THE catchphrase that I love most on this Biased BBC Channel of ours.
      You may have been the first here with it-so copyright and T-shirt merchandising are yours for the asking if you want that.
      Or maybe it was a collegiate, evolutionary phrase that just -well evolved I guess- featuring as many site monkeys as Uptown Funk(great song, eleven writers accredited to it I think?).
      In any event-I love this phrase, so British, so understated. Now can we section this Biased BBC into half hour slots so we get different programmes?
      If so-make sure that every episode of yours always features “comments could be going better”.

          Whatever our views on David Cameron and whatever his views on us I will always be grateful for the fact that he DID allow us to vote in a referendum on Europe and he DID ensure that the questions on the ballot paper were unequivocal. I think that he was the only one of the three main party leaders at the time who would have even considered such a move. I know my post will not be popular with some of my friends on this site as is their entitlement.
          Anyhow, thank you Mr C. but please do not try to reverse the democratic decision of the electorate, which should be final. If you DO turn out to be an “historic laughing stock” it will be entirely of your own making.

      Equal pay for equal work is what I say. But conversely unequal pay for unequal work. I think the definition of equal should be pretty clear. In my book it equates to identical. Broadly similar is not really close enough. If I work in a factory making ball bearings alongside a lady and she makes 5000 balls a day and I only make 4500 I would expect the lady’s pay to be higher than mine and vice versa.
      So equality of outcome should also be part of the equation.
      I think I’ll leave to the experts it’s all too much for my limited intellect.

      Yes I read it yesterday and have some notes
      It was a strong explanation.
      He gave example of some MAN moved into his dept from a higher paying dept so keeps his salary meaning the exisiting M & F in his dept are paid less. Then the M leaves , thus now you’ve got a dept with a huge M/F pay gap.
      in another story his dept is full of men, with no budget for new staff. So to get a woman in he creates a new job on a lower salary Assistant Director . But there is never a budget increase so after 3 years the woman really has the skill and is doing the job of a director , but only gets half the salary again huge pay gap.
      She takes action and they are in trouble.

      Today more info from an agent, Bruce Forsyth’s agent. He said the idea that women were paid less was laughable ..and said when people like Cilla were at the top of their game of course they got big money, better than almost all the men.
      there certainly ahve been big women stars in the past like Lucille, MTM, Oprah there was even a female comedian in the 50’s who earnt a fortune Hylda Baker I think.

      But I suppose there has been a tradition in TV presenting of father figures : like quiz shows were always hosted by men until Anne Robinsom, whereas women did cookery shows, music etc.
      Delia and Nigella probably earned more than a lot of men.

      The Top Ten Richest British Celebrities Under 30

    Two observations this morning. First one showing BBC hypocrisy.
    Whilst their obvious support of feminism and sexism, they still manage to sneak this shot in their Super Bowl advert..
    [url=https://postimg.org/image/5wpzpdfp1/]B952872_A-0_D6_F-44_CC-_A7_D0-_A257_A5477183.jpg[/url]

    Second one bias.. Our old friend Andrew Marr once more showing his obvious support for Momentum
    Regarding. Claire Kober. The Labour councillor walking away after being targeted by momentum activists.
    Marr comes out with. “With respect, this is only hearsay.
    We should say very clearly that Momentum deny doing all of this stuff. It is a favoured media story of the wickedness of momentum all over the country.”
    He follows this again by stating “Momentum deny all of this and there is a danger of smearing momentum…”.
    At a council meeting last summer, Claire Kober called a Motion about antisemitism .. Momentum called a demonstration to cancel that motion. They screamed and threatened the council members. Marr replies,
    “Demonstrations are lawful and They are fully entitled to demonstrate”.

    Strange how he doesn’t have thesame sympathies for Trump or Brexit.

      Institutionalised Leftism.
      The MacDoland Report under Sir Malcolm MacDonald in 1993 clearly states that this is NOT an inherited disease, a DSM category of mental illness and nor is it a neuroscience category that can ever be condoned or explained away. It is a CHOICE-normally when cosseted and entitled “leftwards” are educated beyond their capacities, and are then allowed to develop unencumbered by real life. “Forever Young”, Forever student activists and forever tinpot stunted humans who care only about “The People”-but actually despise “people”. Marr is an emotional cripple and a hypocrite.
      He has written well, and has a hinterland that would be commendabe if he wasn`t such an oaf when virtues and shrouds need waving as his bosses licence him to do.
      Leftwards leaning, still proceeding.
      Give me Jedwards any day-who at least are open that they`re thick and fake! They`ll go to heaven and meet Jade Goody etc-Marr will go to hell and ask Martin McGuinness for confirmations of what Adams told him.

    I must say Marr’s interview with Gerry Adams is simply a nauseating obscenity.
    The BBC works itself up into a freny of moral outrage about the Cox murder and accuses Tommy Robinson of inciting it in some way, yet Marr has a cozy interview with, at best, an apologist for the mass murder of thousands of British citizens. I do not remember the BBC showing any concern about the MPs murdered by the IRA or the INLA, let alone the soldiers, policemen, prison guards murdered in the line of duty. The BBC of course is just running true to form as far as the “armed struggle” is concerned. Marr even uses the appropriate Marxist terminology. The BBC was eager to provide a mouthpiece for Sinn Fein when Thatcher banned then. It is fascinating to compare the BBC tut tutting about ordinary people expressing “far right” views on the social media when it was bending over backwards in the interests of “free speech” to allow terrorists air time to justify their crimes. The BBC pushed the line that Sinn Fein was a peaceloving organisation while the IRA were an extreme organisation “promting a perverse form of Irish Nationalism”. Where have I heard that one again? I see Panorama will be interviewing some muslim woman who went to Syria to marry a Big Beard. What sob story will the BBC dish up to sanctify mass murderers this time?
    I liked Marr prompting Adams to reveal that he was a “man of God”. At least if he was a muslim he could say without hypocricy he was doing the bidding of his god by murdering enemies and non- believers.

      Marr is a hypocrite.
      I don’t buy all this ‘armed struggle’ crap, which implies that (often indiscriminate) murder in the name of such a ‘struggle’ is kind of OK. Who defines the legitimacy of the goal of any ‘armed struggle’? IS could argue that the murders they commit are merely an ‘armed struggle’ for a caliphate. THEY see that as quite legitimate.
      Most ‘armed strugglers’ are also more than happy to allow for the killing of non-specific innocent bystanders. No problem either if these are theoretically ‘on their side’ and are killed by chance. The objective is usually to spread fear through terror.
      The ‘political wings’ of such violent armies always protest their own innocence, but never denounce the killing or disassociate themselves from the murderers. They should fool nobody.

      In the past Farage has required police assistance to leave pubs. Imagine the BBC’s view if a Labour councillor required police protection from Daily Mail readers. You would have to put your fingers in your ears to cut out the shrieking.

      Yep, a bang masked men, that to me is the start of violence , if a bystander in that moment went to neutralise a masked man, that would be the right thing to do, I think.
      However after a few mins it wasn’t the same immediate danger, although any judge would completely understand white-shirts action in trying to keep the distance.

    i was having conversation to 30 year old who holds down decent job who had never heard of Charles Dickens. I had just been watching an adaptation of oliver twist and wanted to have discussion on the quality of his writing. Conversation closed. A few years ago i remember talking to lecturer who worked at manchester university and i was saying i was going to see Conwy Castle at the weekend. he didnt know where that was despite the fact he lived only 80 miles down A55 from it. I still find it hard to believe that to this day.

      Sadly, I find this all too believable. I come into contact with a lot of younger people (younger, as in under 30) and I am stunned by the lack of what we once called general knowledge. The blame, of course, falls on the previous generation of ‘educationalists’, who taught the present generation of teachers to teach dogma instead of reason and knowledge. The universities are bad enough, but teacher training in this country is a scandal waiting to be exposed.

      Compounding this, of course, is the state of the BBC, which has dumbed down to an infantile level.

      There are two direct outcomes to this – a generation of teachers and broadcasters who are too stupid to realise they are stupid (the Dunning-Kruger effect) and an open door for Marxists, who only succeed in countries populated by the stupid and the uneducated.

        The history of teacher training would seem to be
        a)After the end of WW2, it was largely done by returning soldiers and women. No specialist formal training needed, but there was plenty oversight by seasoned locals who knew more than enough. And -seeing these were locally run by the LEA-any wasters or thickies would not last very long, parents wouldn`t put up with it, and they knew where you lived.
        (by no means perfect though, corporal punishment and two tier education)
        b)In the sixties it became a graduate profession with a specific BEd at university-or more likely “teacher training colleges” locally. Scope for lots of indoctrination-especially in Londons ILEA and the big cities-politicised , but there were still outpostw eho cried out against progressive capture. The Black Papers by Rhodes Botson etal showed that a rearguard action was being fought and won sometimes. But at great cost, as the national Curriculum took all creativity and independence out of the teaching “all graduate professions”. Thatchers fault, but she had plenty other fish to fry, poor old sod.
        c)Complete capture by the blob of educational unions, academics and house-trained lefties was coming under Thatcher and Major-but was accelerated by the Bliar/Bown putsch of 1997. Education was removed from government responsibilty under Balls 2007 or so, and universities, OFSTED( a Tory creation, used pitilessly by Blunkett afterwards), state quangos and schools themselves became competing chains with third rate universities like Bournemouth and Worcester “accrediting” what schools churned out with content free slackers on a perennial gap year.
        Schools now are filled to the gunnels with state ciphers, Lesson plans phoned down the line to them as they read their scripts like Richard Bacon or Iain Lee.
        No original thoughts or teaching has gone on in living memory, the idea is to get Obama re-elected and to recycle your plastic. And get vaccinated too. The State has no future-and tells its compulsory sausage dogs that being nice and having a straight tie will save you.
        Hence the content free morons who will back Corbyn or ban rees Mogg.
        Our fault-and over your frailest minds for thirteen years to Blairspeak-and what did you expect.
        Look at the dame he`s wreaked on those who were NOT made to attend his re-education camps? line media hacks , press and most of our state workers.

      I see a 20-something black single mum on the bus fairly regularly who once told me she thought American history was so much more interesting than ours. She was enchanted by the civil rights movement. When I offered my opinion that our 1000+ years of history was actually far more interesting than the mere 200 odd years of The USA, her answer was. “I don’t know nothing about no 1000 years.”

        GC – Both Sharia May (the incompetent) and the ghastly Amber both have been (and in Rudds case still is) in charge of the Home Office.

        I suspect that they are both very lazy politicians who like the position, power and kudos the job brings but are more than happy to continue with the current status quo – which up until recently meant that every migrant was “enriching” us and the EU is always a good thing.

        Consequently they appear to have been more than willing to turn a blind eye to the violent antics of Antifa at any anti migration demo whilst instructing the police to take a very hard line with the EDL or Tommy Robinsons Pegida. In fact with Tommy Robinson ( as we all here know) it seems the Home Office has deliberately engineered situations where his life is put at extreme risk as well as harrasing him with the police.
        I think they see the likes of Tommy as a particular threat as he has a large working class following and in addition is highly intelligent and passionate about highlighting what these faceless bastards are trying to do to this country.

        If his luck finally runs out I will consider both these repugnant, cowardly and dishonest individuals will share more than a slight degree of culpability for what happens. Of course dont expect any paper trails because there wont be any – But we know!

        I consider that there is little difference between the behavior of May and Rudd and the likes of Mugabe (who let his thugs murder political opposition to his regime. ) It is interesting that Trump referred to “shithole ” countries (presumably referring to corruption and violence in 3rd world nations) Under this pair of clowns I would argue that we are also well on the way to acquiring this obviously favoured status joining the likes of Zimbabwe or similar (I suppose it would be nice for the PM and Rudd to claim we share the same economic, diverse ethnic mix , casual violence and politically motivated police force and corrupt media that is generally associated with these types of shithole nations and banana republics) .
        As long as these two cynical schemers are still in power expect more of the same. They want to have as quiet a life as possible and it is always the easy option to shoot the messenger and let someone else to pick up the pieces years on down the line.

    No mention that in the decades prior to 2004, overseas seasonal workers were given temporary work visas to do these jobs, and they did. How come there wasn’t a cabbage shortage then? The difference was that after 2004 they were able to stay indefinitely, and they did.

    More BBC bullsh*t about how bad stopping unfettered immigration will be for us all. Memories are short, in the BBC they are seemingly non existent.

          When (?) we leave the EU, it won’t make a bit of difference to the s**thole our country is turning into.
          By 2030 here in the UK, the majority of those aged 21 and under will be BAME and by 2060 it will be the same for the whole population. Those dates take no account of all the illegals who are here and those who are yet to arrive, so it may be sooner than that. However even if all immigration was stopped, due to the falling birthrate of Britons and the high rates of BAME reproduction: we will eventually still be outnumbered here in our own country.

          The absolutely infuriating thing about the Common Market-EEC-EU project, is that I could have half bought into it; if it had been to create a true “Fortress Europa”. To secure the European people within their own homelands; via a secure, strongly guarded external border.

      In other words, one episode of Call The Midwife does far more damage than ten minutes of Andrew Marr brown nosing a Labour politician.

    in 2016 they decided that their grant of £20 per household need to be quadrupled to £80. That grant comes from the Northamptonshire Council.
    Some local residents organised a vote of no confidence where about 1/4 of residents voted, almost all agreeing. bbc
    But The Conservative councillors stuck in
    And they’ve lasted 2 years before all suddenly resigning saying they’ve had extraordinary levels of intimidation.

    The Mail claims “claims of bricks through windows, children being targeted and cars being vandalised, the ten-strong ruling group of Tory councillors has quit.

    BBC doesn’t mention that only
    Leader Jane Pearce said “My husband’s taken abuse on Facebook. I’ve had comments made to my eldest child who’s only 15. I’ve had people try to stop children playing with my nine-year-old daughter. ”
    Now BBC reports that Northamptonshire Council just can’t manage with it’s budget and is in crisis http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-42925660

      BBC is a facile organisation which has morphed from a public service broadcaster into a political pressure group and agent provocateur. They are believers in and promoters of the globalist cause and would see national democracy secede to a new world order. They set out a reporting agenda that purports to be liberal but is the exact opposite. It doesn’t encourage debate so much as close down anything other than its own narrow minded narrative. It can no longer be impartial, therefore it can no longer be believed – therefore it is useless and should be disbanded from top to bottom – or made to be commercially competitive which amounts to the same thing.

      – A spokesperson for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said there was no reason to believe there was anything suspicious in the death.”

    Radio Momentum is in full self-parody mode tonight. A trip to the freezing kitchen and momentarily switching on the radio reveals an appeal for funds (£34 or more, if you please!) for some charity of which I have never heard, claiming to rehabilitate ‘child soldiers’ in Africa, followed by a trail for the Westminster Hour in which some hack from Buzzeed (Buzzfeed?!?) is providing political commentary, there is a feature about what the polling companies who got the referendum result so wrong are hearing now, more twaddle on Brexit and then the next programme begins, explaining to us why women are unconsciously sexist.

    Richard Littlejohn is right – you really couldn’t make it up!

    BBC TV daytime children’s output.

    It’s called CBBC.

    I’m on my second marriage with a second set of kids. Both kids are under 5 years old.

    The CBBC output is disturbing. At least half the kids and adults are non-white. An episode today centred upon two adults and two kids, and all were non-white. What’s the chance of that in a random selection of the population?

    If all the participants were white, would there be an outcry from the non-white population? No, I suspect.

    The outcry would be from the white Guardian and white Labour members.

    Oh, the irony….

      Hi Dover Sentry, your observations are important. I don’t watch BBC broadcasts but I have been observing their website. I have collated evidence that the BBC “agenda” heavily determines what they put on their CBBC newsround section of their website – including clear pro-Islam propaganda, anti-Trumpism, pro – gay marriage, pro-feminism, pro-celebrity world, pro – BBC and various other socio-political and BBC commercial activisms.

      There was one example a few months ago where they had a CBBC Newsround video report about the importance of learning other languages where they were talking to some kids in a UK school – there was one black child who was from Germany, and then there were about 6 brown children with origins from various Islamic countries saying how it was important to learn Arabic, Urdu, Somalian etc. There were no Celtic languages mentioned and apart from German no European languages mentioned.

        Indeed. We could perhaps do with a pinned thread regarding BBC exploitation of children via CBBC.

          I have discovered that the CBBC channel has developed an internet help team for kids called “Own It” – and below is a link showing the six person team:
          a) Two British – Pakistan Muslims (one male – one female): Parle & Saima
          b) Two black people (one male – one female): Eman & Scola
          c) One white female: Olivia Grace
          d) One white transgender: Lewys

        That reminds me of on old, late, friend of mine .
        After a can of lager for breakfast he would migrate to the pub by 11.00 hrs. By 15.00 hrs he was fluent in Swahili.
        Possibly an idea for the Dept. of Education + the BBC?

    Catching up with More Or Less, which takes two guesses for the proportion of ‘trans’ people in the population, which differ by a factor of one hundred, and naturally goes for the one promoted by the activist. (When the guesses differ by that much it kind of suggests that everyone is clutching at straws and the reality is probably even smaller).

    I wonder what proportion of the population suffer from TDS, (Trump Derangement Syndrome)? Certainly must be close to 100% in the BBC, as we get the little throw-away line that ‘we don’t have insane presidents anymore’ (hah! hah! we are so witty!).

    Earlier there was a BBC advert about some ‘mix’ programme that will cover 500 years of ‘black British’ history. The first 450 years shouldn’t take long.

    This is disgraceful.
    Money wasted on so called Foreign Aid should be used to defend our nation – Defence of the realm is the Government’s priority! Or were they banking on a European Army?

    They were caught with their pants down, they never thought that the people of Wales would vote to get out of the un-democratic European Union. They were not listening to the people of Wales, like Parliament, they don’t listen to the people, they dictate, they are not listening now.
    Its about time we had a referendum to get rid of the Welsh bureaucratic white elephant of an Assembly, it got in by the skin of its teeth last time.

      Mr Hall Hall needs to have ‘his ear bent’ about this.
      There should be a judicial enquiry into its evident Anti-Brexit bias.

    I watched Look North earlier and it had a feature showing a protest in Leeds by parents, due to the shortage of primary school places in the city. The reasons for said shortage weren’t examined, though I suspect Britain’s ageing population is probably to blame.

    I was interested to see how when they showed a shot of the crowd and zoomed in on a child within it, the little chap was white! That is a rarity on our local al Beeb, as most stories involving schoolchildren necessitate the locating and filming of a BAME child in a group – even if they’re the only one there.

    I wonder why they chose not to on this occasion?
