Weekend Open Thread

 

Trump says the NHS is in crisis and British politicians, doctors, media types all rushed to its defence saying that it is the best health service in the world doing wonderful work for half  the money of the US system….and we thought the NHS was in a crisis…have to stop listening to the BBC….and clearly money doesn’t therefore bring you a better NHS.  No?

Also the Mail had Trump with his hair going feral splashed across its frontpage yesterday.  Distinct lack of outrage from our moral guardians about the hated Mail abusing people for their looks or for trivialising politics and endangering democracy as the Mail obviously did when it got the scoop on ‘Legs-It’ and got sent to the naughty corner, over to the far right, by Aunty.

Spot any more Trumpophobia [how long have you got?] note it all here…..

    They are all over Oxfam staff using prostitutes in Haiti. It is distatesful but it is not the end of the world. None of us are perfect. They just want an excuse to wag their finger and demonstrate their virtue, like with the Presidents’ Club debacle. The Five Live reporter seems on the cusp of orgasm as he expresses his outrage to an Oxfam manager.

    Why is there never any ‘outrage’ about all the crime in London, rape gangs et cetera? To mention that would be ‘hate speech.’ It is all infinitely more offensive than the nonsense they get het up about.

      You are right about it suddenly being selected for operation #BBCbanging on when since it was published in Thursday night’s Times, BBC could have done it all day Friday, but they didn’t.

      The big crime is not that workers slept with prostitutes, cos you could argue as long as the woman is an adult and in control then it’s between her and the client.
      No, the controversy is over the way Oxfam, thought the event was serious enough to fire the guys, yet covered up the story. Taking the large organisation fallac,y that protecting the organisation is more important than proper judicial process.
      There were doubts about age of some of the prostitutes, but no concrete evidence.

        Correction the Oxfam rules, bars staff from using prostitutes, so it’s a disciplinary offence straight away.
        And it seems it’s 7 staff now.
        Now the Haiti head sacked was Belgian guy Roland van Hauwermeiren.. now he’d worked inside Oxfam for years and since Jo Cox was head of the Brussels office until 2009, did she know him personally ?

        Oxfam has form in sex coverups, when it’s Nigeria Director complained of assault by her boss at an Oxford conference, she was fired.

        Now Charities/media often present an unreal picture of the real world, is there a cultural of sleaze inside charities that encourages groupthink ?
        eg Kids Company .. why did no one speak up earlier ?
        In Banda Aceh more than 1 year after the Tsunami, locals told me that Save the Children had build houses for staff, but despite UN funding had not yet made a start on housing for the victims.

        Conrad McDonnell says he doesn’t trust private corps with former nationalised industries and wants them to become Coops.. What like the charity sector.

          I think quite a few of them will have been children too, I think the Oxfam report didn’t examine that aspect of it; probably a case of “don’t even go there”.

            You can’t stop past abuse, you can only stop future abuse. So Oxfam has a duty of care to possible future victims, so if some if the guys were actual paedophiles it not enough just to mobile be the guys out if the organization

      The Left get awful rattled about their “anti-Semitism” getting called out-which is why we must do it, ceaselessly.
      The left, liberals and BBC are riddled with it-and it`s a cancer that we need to point out.
      Basically Israel is held to standards that nobody else is. Especially compared to all and any Islamic countries, rotten and corrupt basketcases in Africa as well as China and Venezuela.
      The left see Israel as having failed them on socialism in their kibbutzim-and they`ll never be forgiven for it.
      Israel is simply the pebble in the Muslims flip flops-if we don`t keep it tended, then the caliphate is coming even faster than it is.

      Pounce – I understand ex Green Jackets Officer Tobias Ellwood (who should know better) has also jumped onto the “try them at the Hague” bandwagon. I expect they would like that too. Friendly guards, probably free association, telly and an inexhaustible supply of chocolate sprinkles and probably out in fifteen years after they claim they are now de-radicalised and are sorry for what they did.

      True justice would be to let these twisted savages be exported to Guantamino and thence America where hopefully they could experience a little of the same ” justice” they had no problem dealing out to others.
      I like to think of them pissing themselves on a gurney as a poorly trained medic clumsily tries to find a vein. Alternatively maybe we should hand them over to what is left of the Yazdis and see what they think is a just punishment.

      The good thing about Trump is that he has twigged the undeniable truth that Islam has in effect declared war on all other religions and cultures (as it always has) and the fact that the Koran sanctions any amount of savagery against us Kuffars to gain its ends. Despite what the likes of Cleggy, Call Me Dave and Theresa try to tell us. I am afraid saying “you aint no muslim bruvv” just doesnt wash anymore.

      With regard to our own leaders and Islam appeasing media. Its a pity that it is never their own daughters that are raped or their own fathers that have their heads slowly sawn off or are burnt alive. Charlie Hebdo sent the message and they understood it loud and clear. Keep your mouth shut and do nothing and keep taking the money as It is always someone else who “gets it”
      If it was their own kith and kin, maybe it might start to concentrate their own minds on what they are surrendering to – on our behalf .

      So if these two bestial piles of human excrement ever do get into Trumps hands expect much hand wringing and calls for “civilised treatment” from assorted media, luvvies, labour/ liberal and Tory politicians and probably Theresa May too – who knows she may even manage another “rebuke” for Trump.

      After all it seems these days we seem to jealously guard and justify the right of such lowlifes to rape burn and murder rather than the right of friends to help and point out obvious threats which we seem to be blind to. Just when you think it cant get any more ridiculous and self destructive it does. – Strange days indeed.

          Short but powerful film Pounce

          Bearing in mind many of these toerags were born in the west I think the bottom line is – when you are are given licence by either your religion, your beliefs or your leaders to undertake the most bestial of acts many people (western educated or not) will do just that. Race is not a factor it is purely down to culture, religion or belief.

          The difference between civilised behavior or savagery is only a veneer and what the liberals appear to be doing in their protection and promotion of Islam in our society is enabling that veneer of civilisation to be worn away to an even greater degree.

          Saying my commander made me do it – Interesting – I think we have all heard that one before. It is funny that organisations like the BBC never seem too keen to really look at the motives of these bastards. And this particular bloke is about as convincing as a child caught with a handful of stones, standing next to a broken window and saying “It wasnt me”

          All the BBC and left wing media want to do, is to talk about on line radicalisation as they think it gives them a weapon to use against the likes of Breitbart or Paul Joseph Watson /Tommy Robinson on U tube (the very people who are warning us of what is going on) providing they can convince the like of Sharia and Rudd to set the bar low enough (not very difficult)

          Unfortunately with our current Government and MSM still unable to see any further than vibrancy and diversity it will be unlikely to do anything about this until there truly are “rivers of blood” on our streets. Funnily enough I have heard this phrase before as well and “some people are saying” the river has already started flowing.

            I get the idea that this reflex “defence of our boys in Syria” is deliberately engineered by the BBC to give the “come-on” to yet more terrorist attacks.
            When these scum chose to burn their passports and swear alliegiance to the Caliphate-and then beheaded , crucified and tortured fellow “former citizens”-then they lost any right to anything other than a slow and painful death.
            Thsi crap about the Hague might help Leigh Day or the BBCs hacks, Thornberrys profile on the telly. But it ensures more direct and nasty attacks on the normal people of this country-which, I think is what the State now want. To ban the right, to get us defeated for Islam and to get the State to mediate our decline and surrender to the Left, then the EU and then Islam.

    Watched a little Irish leprechaun last night called Graham Norton or something. His opening ‘sketch’ ridiculed and insulted Jacob Rees-Mogg, comparing him to Hitler. The guests were from some US sitcom called Will and Grace who got in plenty of Trump bashing. His Red-chair guest got a standing ovation for some petty little anti-man trick she’d played on her husband.

    On this site we have often discussed the growing violence in Sweden and its source. I have just read the Spectator’s take on it:
    https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/02/violent-crime-in-sweden-is-soaring-when-will-politicians-act/

    Paywalled. But we were wrong when we said those overseeing Sweden were not doing anything but hiding the facts. And remember this is Sweden we are talking about, a mere fifteen years ago it was the most peaceful country in Europe.

    Examples of actions the Swedes in authority are taking:

    Fire crews are allowed in these areas, – with riot police armed with machine guns.

    Libraries were closed down.

    Isabella Lövin, Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Green party, turned her ire towards those who express alarm over violent crime in Sweden. ‘The truth is that we are a country that gives the rest of the democratic world hope.’

    The Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, even raised the prospect of sending in the army – though retracted that because the left squealed and squealed. (So machine gun armed police are ok but not soldiers, not sure what the difference is).

    Linda Staaf, a police chief, has pointed out that grenade-throwing is dangerous because those who pull out the pin ‘expose themselves to a huge risk’.

    Jan Evensson, Stockholm’s police chief, also makes his case on compassionate grounds: ‘It’s hard to be a criminal. We want to help them get out of it.’

    An infant school published a letter: ‘Our children don’t come to pre-school because their parents are afraid. And they are afraid of you. And when children do come to pre-school, their parents beg us to keep the children inside.’ (I bet that note will stop the violence)

    So there you are, the Swede’s are taking the necessary action to stamp out the staggering violence found in Sweden.

    I see that the Mirror newspaper group has bought the Daily Express at a cost of £140 million. Why I wonder has the leftist Mirror bought the right of centre Express and where did the money come from? Will the Mirror group allow the Express to remain in its place on the political spectrum? What about the plurality of news which is such.a big issue in the Sky takeover by Murdoch?
    We know that the on line Independent is now owned by Saudi. Not that the Independent was ever anything other than a shadow of the Guardian. But we can never expect anything objective or truthful from it on Islamification.
    Is the Express take over just another step to close down any news source that isn’t leftist in outlook. I note that the Mail is constantly targettted by the left, that the Telegraph is moving steadily leftwards . We have no right of centre TV or radio news in the UK. The elites are trying to gain censorship control over the internet. Slowly but surely we are seeing the left gain complete control over news in our country.
    You only have to look at the USA to see how powerful such a monopoly is. Over in the States there is growing evidence that Clinton and Obama have successfully politicised all key government agencies but the leftist MSM , far from pushing for full disclosure , are trying to keep the truth from the American people. We know that in Germany and Sweden the press suppresses and lies on behalf of its governments . Remember that in the USA freedom of speech is guaranteed but even that powerful safeguard is insufficient to stop the take over by the left.
    Soon in our own country all dissenting voices will be silenced . We may be in the 21st century but 1984 is just around the corner.

      G: The government reply to this petition is interesting: look at some of the key words, and you can already see political correctness sticking in your face (among other places).
      Freedom of speech is not absolute. OK. So now we come to all the ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’. That’s where the sticky words come in.
      Thirty years ago a reader may have scratched their heads in bewilderment; now we know that Newspeak is already with us.
      Also interesting: when I complained to the Beeb about the use of the phrase ‘pale male and stale’, a lady replied and told me this was part of an ‘established idiom’, used in a certain ‘context’.
      So, presumably:
      1)The beeb doesn’t believe the law applies to them anyway and
      2) You can say anything you like, claim it’s part of an established idiom, and make sure you use it in a context of some sort.
      I do like the picture. Their Lordship’s wigs look mighty impressive. Pity a lot of them have zilch underneath them. The moths will surely get in there big time.

    The bBC and the crap it peddles about white privilege:
    Opera_Snapshot_2018-02-10_142658_www.bbc.co.uk.png
    Jamaica’s Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian spoke of the importance of being a role model for black children.
    The Bobsleigh star welled up as she said, “It’s important for me that little girls and little boys see someone that looks like them, talks like them, has the same culture as them, has crazy curly hair and wears it natural, has brown skin, included in different things in this world”.

    Somebody want to point out to the cock suckers at the bBC, non-whites do attend the Olympics and have done for years. Why Mohammed Ali won gold during the 1960 Olympics , now virtually the entire boxing medal winners are non white, as are nearly all the athletics, basketball teams. Why Daley Thompson (black) wore this teeshirt about another Black athlete (lewis) on the podium in 1984
    article-2047948-0E54016E00000578-525_468x558.jpg

    In other words, people are used to seeing non-white faces at the Olympics and in a numbers of fields all you see is non-white faces and from the examples I have posted above, well before Fenlator-Victorian was born.

    The bBC, as usual playing the race card, for no reason whatsoever

And of course it suits blacks to endlessly play the victim. It’s the perfect symbiosis, ethnics get to feel permanently aggrieved while the beebistan gets to feel permanently sanctimonious.

    Our “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” tell’s us, “Why Marvel’s Black Panther is no ordinary superhero movie” –

    We learn that, “Having a plot based around a black superhero with a predominantly black cast is a first for Marvel, but the film builds on this concept in a massive way.”
    One more step toward complete division of the races if I am not very much mistaken. I guess that we will soon learn that someone has suggested a ‘white only film cast’ just for, ‘evens’. What then?
    Seems to me what the black cast needs to do is get down to their roots and pressure the African ‘leaders’ to act more democratically and humane. I think it is two African leaders (maybe more?) that currently refuse to stand aside, one, in the most ‘developed’ of all the African nations. The “Basket Case” which is Africa has always needed a ‘Black Panther’ never mind about Hollywood.

In the caption, she stressed the value in children of color seeing themselves reflected as superheroes on the big screen.

      It seems Mc Donnel wants to recreate the Soviet Union, although McD probably thinks the “paradise of the peasant and worker” still exists In the Soviet Union, everything was nationalised,
      – except for the black market and the peasants selling their surplus produce on the streets – and that turned out really well.
      McD seems to think cutting out the shareholder in vital industries will mean better service for the customer, more efficiency and more wages for the workers and peasants. No doubt he will be nationalising Tescos, Aldi, M&S, etc. and recreating collective farms. I remember four of us going to eat in a nationalised restaurant in Kiev in the good old days. It was 9’o clock at night. The dining room was vast but in complete darkness except for a ray of light from the open kitchen door where 5 Stankhovite workers were smoking fags nonchalantly. After about a quarter of and hour one of the staff shuffles up to us still smoking a fag and throws a menu on the table without a word and then shuffles back to the kitchen. Half an hour later the waiter comes back for the order. We would like w,x,y,z. “U nas nyetu” she grunts each time. Nothing on the menu was available. Shto u vas yest? Chicken soup! Greaf!!. Half an hour later another waiter turns up with four bowls of boiling water each with a chicken claw in it. All hail Soviet power!!
      The customer was really king in the USSR. If a worker gets the same wage no matter what he does and cannot really be sacked because he would have to be employed somewhere there is no such thing as efficiency or customer service in a state owned, state run industry. God help us all if these mindless ideologues get anywhere near government.

    Well its nearly that time of the day when The English will take on the Welsh at Rugby. May the best team win (But as I’m English , my loyalty lies with the white shirts) But the Welsh are bloody good. On that note the bBC has no problem headlining when England get beaten at anything and very rarely do the same when they win. Which is why you have to look bloody hard to see that the Womens Rugby match between the 2 sides has seen the English thrash the Welsh 52-0.
    Funny that. Not having a bash at the Welsh, I always support them when they play anybody else (As I do Scotland) . Anyway good luck to both side. May the best team win.

There are very good arguments for capital punishment – to my mind, conclusive arguments – which you NEVER hear propounded on even the most serious discussion programme on Radio 4. C.S. Lewis wrote a very good essay on it, The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment, many years ago. In my opinion though, the greatest advocate for it was Professor Ernest van den Haag. The best book I have ever read on the subject is The Death Penalty: A Debate, in which the arguments for and against are debated by Ernest van den Haag and John P. Conrad.

Naively, they all got drawn into performing ritual beheadings and the occasional mass murder – as you do.

    The problem with football, rugby and cricket is that men just have too much fun. It’s a world of hard physical contact and competition where men challenge each other for dominance – as they always have – in a relatively safe competitive environment. And at the end of it, they more often than not drink themselves silly in the bar and end up friends for life.

    Oh dear, that is not at all to the taste of the modern lady. So they barge in – have you in all your life seen anything more silly than female commentators at men’s rugby matches at Twickenham? All the banter of the mud splattered male at play, just killed stone dead. That wonderful institution of Test Match Special is ruined by countless females, who nobody has ever heard off, adding their two-penny worth. Who cares – bring back Blowers, a cricket man to his very being, drenched in the culture and wearing a blazer even sillier than a member of the MCC.

    I have no problem with female sport. It is a wholly good thing. But surely it is separate from male sport. Let it make its own ratings and it sometimes does – female tennis and athletics are good examples. But women’s football, give me strength – funny how these matches are broadcast live on mainstream tv and every effort is made when promoting them to hide the fact that it is the ladies punting the ball aimlessly around like a crazed pin ball machine.

      Undeterred, the sisters lowered their sights and reckoned they could beat the man ranked 350th. Owing to a couple of early losses, and a slide down the rankings, that man turned out to be … Karsten Braasch. The sisters turned down the rematch.

      Yet when John McEnroe said publicly that Serena would rank about 700 on the men’s tour, he ignited a media firestorm and was asked to apologise.

          While the boys were obsessively practicing whatever sport they were choosing to play at all hours(and instead of being in school or a job)-the rest of us on planet normal were socialising, engaging with real people and fancied the opposite sex and not robots or cars, snooker stats or darts. Which is why the best and luckiest of them achieved their (weird) dreams. And they deserved every penny for what they`d sacrificed for their dotty games.
          The current forced equivalence of male and female sports is laughable, but it`s all part of the “Great God Sport” needing more worshippers. It`s been made homogenised and downright boring, overpaid and ridiculous, hypocritical. Sport is dead, but the BBC etc give it endless life support , and yell at us to be interested-we`re not!
          The media and the One Love luvvies like the UN and EU depend on it to bind us together under Blatter or Lineker.

    Oh dear BBC, what a load of utter crap.
    Get rid of it!

    I wonder how many weeks they can get out of the charity sex scandal? Four days in and still going strong. Rohingya Muslim story still second story in news bulletin, despite there being so substantive change in the first story they reported months ago.

    I saw a harrowing trailer for a programme called ‘Young and Gifted’ about pupils of all ages, races and genders beating the odds to excel at school. Eugh, pass the sick bag.

      Bet there`ll not be ONE mention of the prior role of grammar schools in “improving social mobility” will there?
      Like the Left in the Seventies, the removal of grammar schools in the same era(and before) seems not to be mentioned any more. No need to guess why-we know.

    A bit of cultural relativisim in the morning from the BBC. Formula One Pit Girls, as we recently find out, are just too terribly objectifying for women. But what’s this at the Winter Olympics… a squad of female North Korean synchronised cheerleaders “chosen for their beauty, loyalty to the regime…” and, as our simpering jolly BBC presenters acknowledge, strict height regulations, well this is all just fine and dandy and a bit of a laugh to boot. Another issue the BBC fails to mention is the racial conformity imposed by the old-style Stalinist rogue state of North Korea. But, hey, it’s all about holding ourselves here in the west to much higher standards, right? But wait, isn’t their brand of communism basically a European idea colonising the minds of the Koreans… I’m confused.

    Its Sunday morning irony time at the biased BBC.
    Awake early and caught a little of Farming Today at 0630. The sacrifices we make!
    There was an article about a lady who runs a herd of Merino wool sheep. Apparently nearly all Merino wool is imported from…..Australia. And that is where the lady gets semen from to inseminate her herd and keep the gene pool decent.
    Imagine that. The BBC waxing lyrical about successful businesses dealing with imports from….errr…….a country outside the EU !
    The irony was clearly lost on them, but not on me.

    The ‘Sunday’ programme on R4 used to be about religion. But now it seems to be a sort of advertising space where Christian issues are dealt with almost as an afterthought.
    Thus we first had a piece about mindfulness. Apparently recent research has cast doubt about its effectiveness. But they had on a guy who clearly makes money out of it. Then theyhad a long piece about a couple who have developed an app to support married people whose marriages may be getting into difficulty. Instead of watching a romcom cuddled up on the sofa with a glass or two of sherbert you simply fill in a diary of all the things you do using your app. How romantic!
    Sunday. The Christian topic free zone- unless its about abuse of course.

      Long given up on it Sluff.
      It`s the catholic Solidarity Project most weeks, then an interfaith schmooze and cover up by the metropolitan, metrosexual elites in dead churches that remind us of what we used to have. But have long thrown away.
      Basically a Guardian billboard for social action and the Giles Fraser Godspell wanking group.
      Choral Evensong on Radio 3-that`s it folks.

    SJWs in a state of perpetual orgasm about black super hero film. Do they ever consider that being super offended by minor things is why many are loath to produce such things? If one of the heroes likes fried chicken or is any way sub-optimal they will demand the director be lynched. Many football clubs do not employ black managers for the fear of the race card being played when results go badly.

    Their website has an article which reads like something from The Onion. A diverse chap was so upset by white super heroes he created his own dark-skinned action figures who live in Wakanda, a fictional pan-African paradise free from the painful history of slavery and colonialism.

    “It may seem petty to grieve over fictional characters . . . “

    It does indeed.

    Two of the black women heroes in the new film have been praised by members of the LGBTQ community for being in a Lesbian relationship!

    “In the UK every black person I know is either excited about or at the very least aware that the Black Panther film is coming out.”

    So patronising the idea that every black person is thrilled about a Marvel film. I imagine many do not give a toss. At least aware? I am aware of my bloody heating not working at the moment, what use is awareness exactly?

    Is it actually a good film, though? What Italian watches ‘The Godfather’ and is excited about how it empowers Italians, or complains it depicts them negatively? Only a moron or lunatic would think like that. What matters is that it is a great film with a terrific storyline.

    I want enjoyable films free from the poison of ‘social justice’. The Black Panther film will probably be a crock of shit because the writers were too worried of offending idiots to take risks with the story line.

      “a fictional pan-African paradise free from the painful history of slavery and colonialism.” Non-colonised countries in Africa are in as bad a mess as ex-colonies, Ethiopia anyone?

      And countries which have had decades free of colonialism are in a worse state than in colonial times – Zimbabwe anyone?

      Post-colonial South Africa is riddled with crime and corruptuion.

      Incidentally the beeb will never tell you that the current water shortages are all about mismanagement and corruption: “South African Water Caucus reveals that national government’s reluctance to release drought relief funding stemmed from spiralling debt, mismanagement and corruption in the national Department of Water and Sanitation.”

        I enjoyed Douglas Murray’s comment about how immigration is a one-way street (ie from Africa to Europe) because it brings cultural enrichment.

        “I have never heard anyone say that what Eritrea really needs is an injection of Welshmen, bringing Welsh cooking and Welsh singing.”

    Chuck Us Your Money on Marr trying to talk us out or Brexit. All this celebration of the suffragettes getting the vote from the people who in the next breath think it is ok to deny us our democratic rights.

    All he does it spout the party line like an identikit robot. What a parasite.

      Anna Soubry ‘I’m looking after the interests of my constituents’.
      Please remind me Anna, how did your constituents vote in the referendum? Why didn’t Andy Marr ask? I’ll remind you Anna, it was a 6,000 majority for leave! Have you entered the weird numerical world of the Abbotacus?
      Re Chucky and Anna, they make a lovely couple.

    Andrew Marr
    Reviewing the newspaper headlines this morning.
    The Mail headline about Brendan Cox, as we have seen in an earlier post.
    The only comment Marr came out with were these three words. ‘Sad isn’t it.’ And the review was quickly brushed aside.
    Okay. Sad for who?
    The victim?
    Brendan Cox?
    The BBC?
    The consensus of opinion was that suspected offenders are named far too soon.
    Funny how this opinion is only offered to people that suit the BBC. Wonder how Cliff Richards and many others feel about this……

      Given the proven activities of the guy in the chair, not funny or surprising.

        A super-dooper injunction for Andy maybe?
        This Oxfam beauty shows them all up for what they are-a shithole charity scam. Maybe Trump confused Haiti with the State of Oxfam that existed in Haiti back in 2010
        At least we have a new verb “to Oxfam”.
        To Weinstein at least has a career advancement in the arts once you`ve partaken.
        “To Oxfam a fourteen year old girl” on the rubble where her wendy house used to stand, seems much worse-maybe a Supa-souper-sooper-dopey dooper Injunction might be needed to deal with the fallout.
