Tory MP Victoria Atkins fled Twitter due to the abuse she received and the BBC immediately headlined its bulletins with this breaking news….the same BBC that helped do so much to encourage the abuse of and disrespect for politicians, not only with its satire but with the vicious demonisation of Thatcher and Tories in general….and now it’s Trump in the firing line…literally. Much as the body parts of long departed Saints are paraded around the country the ghost of Jo Cox is resurrected by any politician wanting to impart how serious their own situation is, a bit of Jo Cox martyrdom gives a lovely bit of credence to their claims of living on death row as the looming threat of the Twitter mob darkens their lives. No mention of Stephen Timms being stabbed by a Muslim of course as this would distract from the narrative of a nasty bunch of fascist Brexiteers murdering all who oppose them. No mention that there is absolutely nothing new about death threats and attacks on politicians…not just threats of course….the BBC’s, and Corbyn’s favourite terrorists, tried to kill the whole Tory government in the Grand Hotel as well as many other attacks.
Ah well, let’s just forget history, or rewrite it if it’s too inconvenient for today’s narratives and agendas.
Spot the BBC trying to write the future….list it here…..

Yes, lovely big plug for the film on the 10:00 news. Wonder how much that sort of prime time publicity would cost elsewhere?
Apparently it’s absolutely OK for young black children to be excited by an all-black film, indeed the most natural thing in the world. Yet any white children expressing the same preference for their own race would be unlikely to receive such approval. Probably social workers would be called in.

According to one black actress this is what African countries would be like had they not been ‘interrupted and assaulted by colonialism’.
Um, exactly HOW developed were they when the ‘colonialists’ moved in?
Unchallenged by the BBC, of course, so another victory for The Memory Hole.

THE man leading the EU’s war against tax havens (Pierre Moscovici, the French European Commissioner ) has been accused of double standards for presiding over a system which allows eurocrats to pay just half the tax they would pay if they worked in Britain. {express.co.uk 12apr2016}
The basic salary of a member of the European Commission is currently £200,500 per year, while Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker earns £246,000 per year.
In addition, Commissioners are entitled to a residence allowance of 15 per cent of the basic salary and a monthly allowance for representation expenses of £487.

Meanwhile, Angus Council continues to work to stem the affects of the tides on the shore side. Mark Davidson, a senior engineer at Angus Council, said: “Montrose Bay has suffered from some quite severe erosion over the years “Here we very much have a case of Mother Nature doing what it is meant to do.”
Key data has been established about the behaviour of the sea and its impact on the bay. Mr Davidson said: “We have been looking back in history and one good example of how to measure the changes is the Second World War pill boxes in the dunes, which now at Montrose have become exposed. “We have also got historic evidence that the beach was way back into Montrose previously. “
What we see is different cycles of Mother Nature at work. Basically, the North Sea is attacking the beach.”

That means 75% of UK adults do not count as listeners

The BBC and their lefty cohorts recently invented the term Far Right and then people automatically consider right wing as Fascist or Nazi. Peterson recently remarked not ceding to their language, so let me dispell their lie. The first things that both Mussolini and Hitler did after acquiring power was to Nationalise. Everything from industry, business, education and the news was brought under state control. This was no better than Stalinism and if you weren’t wholly behind the idea you were removed from authority and untimately society. It is utterly astounding to me that people think that Nazism was somehow far right, when Nationalsozialismus is National Socialism and therefore Far Left.
Right Wing ideology is nothing to do with this doctrine. Right Wing can mean strong National pride, but there should not be an all powerful state controlling industry, business, education and indeed the news. The closest thing to a right wing state is perhaps Monarchy with no government. Sadly this doesnt really work with modern day democracy, but there is no country that i am aware of with a democracy that hasn’t been corrupted by the state. Human Nature is to corrupt. Giving people power under state authority corrupts them absolutely.
If somebody accuses you of being a fascist or neo nazi, you can educate them. Nazi ideology is Nationalisation, State Control and Socialism. Instead you believe in Private Enterprise, No State Control and Freedom.

And of course the ‘Far Right’ US constitution is very clear on what items are national (a defined list as I recall) and that everything else is delegated to the states. And that changes to the constitution need a big majority of independent states to approve such change.

Awkward moments this morning on BBC tv as Breakfast presenters attempt to slalom their way around explaining why our supposed national treasure Clare Balding won’t actually be going to the Winter Olympics in Korea. It’s toe curling stuff (curling… geddit?). Our Clare says : “it would be too cold for me to do out there what I did in Sotchi”
There will still be a virtual studio from which Clare will be wearing her pussie hat and waving her GB rainbow flag
Do we care, Clare?
Yesterday a quick straw poll of sports fans who listen to Talk Sport Radio recorded 78% of responses to the Winter Olympics as “Not Interested”. That’s sports fans.
No wonder the BBC reporter chap who happens to be on the scene – some well-wrapped up Aussie – presumably more hardy than our super Clare (or let’s be honest, cheaper) – warns us to watch out for the “cultural and political aspects of the Olympics”
Oh no, please don’t, BBC. The endless mixing of sport and identity politics on the Beeb is tedious enough already.

The bBC, promoting its agenda of blacks trumps all:
White woman and a black bloke both win 4 votes each for the right to carry the flag have a toss up to see who will carry it at the Olympics opening, she wins, he cries foul play by playing the race card To the bBC its a f-ing human rights crime.
And here is how CNN reported the above:
The Winter Olympics haven’t even officially started yet, and we already have our first controversy — and it’s over who’ll carry the US flag in the opening ceremony. On one side is Erin Hamlin, a world-renowned luger, two-time world champion and four-time Olympian. On the other is Shani Davis — a decorated speed skater and five-time Olympics qualifier. The flag bearer is typically chosen in a vote of the eight US winter sport federations, which represent biathlon, bobsled and skeleton, curling, figure skating, hockey, luge, ski and snowboarding, and speed skating. But this year, Hamlin and Davis tied 4-4. Enter the coin toss, Davis said. Hamlin was chosen, according to the US Olympic Committee. And Davis was definitely not happy about it, venting in a tweet that the coin toss was “dishonorably” done.

In 2006 Davis became the first African American to win an individual gold medal at a Winter Games but decided not to take part in the team pursuit and raised the ire of team-mate Chad Hedrick. Their animosity toward one another was obvious at a news conference, when Hedrick brought up the team pursuit and Davis stormed out of the room.”

I have always liked moths. I think they’re discerning creatures. R4 managed to squeeze in a bit about their invasion of the House of Lords, this am on Toady. (Between the commentator bashing Trump over Syria and the one telling us how wonderful Labour will be doing in the local elections in London (Surprise!).
I think moths really appreciate, and are trying to promote, democracy. They have realised that THAT unelected house with its snobby ermine wearers, who address one another as ‘noble'(don’t that just crack you up?) while droning on about equality, need a bit of chewing up.
It appears that -for the moment- they are ignoring those who are merely ‘honourable’ in the Commons (while they sort out their code of conduct).
Mice/rats appear also to have arrived in the Lords. Could it be that rats are just as discerning as moths?

I open my BBC Home Page this morning and am greeted with this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-42962348 .
I suspect that the BBC subconsciously think that if they keep constantly sexualising our children and grand-children and constantly broadcasting and talking about all sorts of adult sex and relationships that they are ‘very grown up’ and ‘progressive’ and will do away with the views of ‘childish’ religions and their principles on the subject.
The BBC are in complete denial of the ways in which, for example, Muslims view this. The cannot grasp that they, the BBC, are in fact giving some who are terrorism inclined even more reason to attack British society because – in their view – it is decadent.

It’s better than education in Canada, where social justice is the main focus of education for children “from early years to 8th grade”.
Is the right approach really to teach 4-year-olds about “heteronormality” before reading and writing? Apparently so, in Ontario, at least.

PJW on Canada’s Prime-minister’s “personkind” wackiness
“mankind” sounds too male so he makes up a word “personkind”
… em mate we already have a word “humankind”
UPDATE…..Trudeau’s chief adviser triggered by my video making fun of Canadian PM.
Says people who joke about Trudeau’s “peoplekind” comment are “nazis”.

Yeah, but that word includes three letters that spell man right at its heart, right in the middle.
We can’t have that!

There are 413 days until Blighty is due to leavectheir ReichEU
The Guardian today is reporting that Northern Ireland will be staying in the single market and customs union .
So there we are people – a supra national state dictating to a member about its national arrangements . The last time a country did this we had to send a fleet , torpedo a battleship and kick their argie arses out .
Full Britsh brexit here we come . Or maybe it’s just bait from bollock soros Brown ?

It’s all very confusing. In the early 1980s alien forces invaded the Falkland Island, which is thousands of miles away and British forces were sent to clear them out. Move forward to the 21st century, alien forces invade the British mainland and our government raises the white flag. I think we are entitled to ask why. The only people being enriched here are the invaders. Someone is taking the piss.

See how the “UK Is Stronger In Europe” not only confused the EU (political system) with Europe (landmass) but also lied to people telling them that Hillary Clinton was a World Leader …. people who voted remain did not know what they were voting for.
Also, are they implying that Merkel is the World Leader of Europe? Where is David Cameron? This is a terrible omission …

Mo Khan pays more for motor insurance
being discussed on R4 12:17am an investigation by the BBC’s Joel Moors
Try a white name, and get a quote *
… try same with a Mr Mo , and prices go up always
(He admitted that he was on the electoral roll at that address, and Mo wasn’t)
#2 Tried with Mrs Mo, and price goes up half the time
(this time the white name wasn’t registered at the address
insurance corp said second try might always get more expensive quote)
#3 Get a quote first using Mo’s name, change to a white name ..and the price mostly seem to drop
There are things like your own name might be more validated, cos you are on the electoral role.

Law says that if the end result is discrimination then it’s illegal.

So how much does he cost the UK TV Tax Payer?
So after the BBC made so much profit the TV Licenses is now only £1 per person or is decreased every year … due to book sales …
… or due to private companies using Children to gain interest ….

If I don’t listen to Chris Evans how do I stop the money via the TV Tax reaching Chris Evans’s pay check?

The state broadcaster in Singapore is MediaCorp.
The talent there therefore has limited negotiating options, but goes along with it because if your lovely mug gets on the telly you acquire value elsewhere.
I think the corporation also scores a % of what is ‘earned’ opening a shopping mall.
Maybe Chris and Katty should donate to offset licence fees for those not enjoying profile such employment affords?

That will give them an opportunity to blame western colonialism for their radicalistion which the BBC will amplify.
If they come here for a trial Treezer and Amber will meddle so they get off light with a release fter a short sentencei.

I call upon you to issue a public apology on this site and withdraw your totally uncalled for Piggist remark, the shock of which which has caused my tail to lose it’s curliness.

My apologies, or rather I apologise for any offence, not for what I said. I think that is the modern way to apologise.
However, according to EU imposed rules I trust that you have not been eating any genetically modified food because if you have your poo will not be allowed to be composted and spread on our farmer’s fields.

I might go along with that provided I could introduce a few limitations of my own:
Voter must have been making a net contribution to the exchequer for at least 5 years.
Voter must pass tests in UK based history, maths and general knowledge to demonstrate that he/she has at least some clue about what he/she is voting for.
No criminal record, for anything.
That’s just for starters.

Publicly-force-funded broadcasters are a plague. Once they are assured of the income flow they ignore the public and launch forth on virtue-signalling expeditions. Any country? CNN;BBC;ARD etc etc (In Austria there is now an interesting debate on the topic.) They then keep virtue-signalling politicians in power or try to build them up to get there. The more I ask myself why, the more I think Enoch got it right: madness. Only, this madness is like a communicable disease. How/why?
This is why Trump is so hated by the PC brigade. Their ever so reliable recipe didn’t work, and this baffles and upsets them. The guilt card didn’t work. The race card didn’t work. Trying to label ‘right wingers’ as uneducated rabble didn’t work. (The latter is a great favourite.)
Worked in Germany, where the guilt card is especially effective. (Also, conservatives were labelled as ‘das Pack’-the rabble). Worked in Britain, where someone like Nigel could be kept out of parliament (compare to many of the morons we have now). But not in the USA last time round. Luvvit.
