Weekend Open Thread

 

We know, because the BBC tells us, that Britain has no culture and thus no indigenous multiculture, thus the BBC likes to import the exotic inhabitants of far-off lands and bring them here as exhibits in some kind of open cultural zoo to be gawked at in amusement and delight by the natives who are all white, male and very boring. Hence we get daft comments from the simple Chiles who yesterday filled his studio with Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians…he expressed his delight saying ‘This is great, this is Europe!’.  Naturally he was really meaning ‘this is the EU…and it’s fantastic migrant open door policy’ [never mind none of those countries are in ‘Europe’] betraying the real mindset behind the mic. as if we didn’t already know from his numerous attacks on the ‘Far Right UKIP’ and Nazi Farage.  Would he express the same pleasure in the multi-culturalism if he had a Scotsman, a Welshman, an Irishman and an Englishman in the studio, or someone from Somerset, Norfolk and Yorkshire, or from London, Liverpool and Manchester?  All very different places, all with unique history and culture…and yet the BBC writes them all off and tells us they aren’t of any interest….Britain is a cultural desert that needs spicing up with those exotic imports.   Interested to hear Dimbleby on Any Questions describe the exotic men who committed the sex attacks in Newcastle as all being ‘South Asian’ and that there might be something wrong with their culture….apart from the fact that he just ran off a list of their actual origins, a wide variety of countries, which he seemed to forget, the one actual unifying cultural identifier was that they were mostly, if not all, Muslim…not a mention.  A problem with that culture?  No of course not.  It’s those ‘South Asians’.

Blind to the joys of British culture, blinded by the ‘joys’ of foreign cultures.

    What is it about the year 2040? – the elites all seem to have big plans for it. In the UK the green loonies are coming to take away our efficient gasoline cars while in the Irish republic they are planning to boost the native 4.7m population by another 1m using mass immigration.

    In Britain the state broadcaster would need no urging to promote such an exciting development as swamping the local population with foreigners. In Ireland, it seems, the minority Fine Gael government has taken to bribing journalists to write puff news pieces about Project Ireland 2040. Needless to say the “sponsored” items cannot include “negative or critical content”.

    It is still possible to visit Dublin and feel you are in an Irish city. But a recent revival of economic growth has led to higher levels of immigration and some of the all too familiar consequences of certain cultural difference are being observed. The overall trend is exacerbated because considerable numbers of Irish people emigrate at the same time.

    Irish people have a recent history of resenting foreign interference in their affairs. And it must be said doing something about it, something that any trouble-making alien groups will no doubt consider. Already social media is alive with talk of an immigration “pyramid scheme” designed to boost big business by adding consumers at taxpayers’ expense.

    Sounds familiar.

    Asian woman with sports news. She talks about it as if she is emptying the contents of her handbag – seemingly no passion, knowledge or understanding. I wonder why she got the job?

    Met Police not funded enough due to evil Tories. Stop investigating thought/hate crime; massively reduce paper work by depoliticising the Police – no more recording ethnicity of offenders or the exact grounds for a stop and search as I trust their judgment; no more ‘diversity training’ what a waste of time and money that is!

    Just caught a short section of Back in time for tea’ on BBC2.
    About life in the pits in 1960 and how change was on the way.
    It is explained that by 1969 some 400 pits had closed and the workforce had been halved.
    Yet strangely, neither the government in power (Labour) nor the responsible Minister (Tony Benn) were mentioned. Not for a second. Funny, that.
    I somehow doubt the BBC will be quite so reticent when they get to the 1980s. Anyone care to wager the much more modest change then will be portrayed with misty eyed sorrow of a way of life gone forever, followed by the denouncing of the ‘evil Thatcher’?

    Meanwhile.
    Countryfile. From Derbyshire, and the delights of walking in the Peak District.
    A group of eight are featured learning some map reading skills and other useful bits of information,
    But what’s this?
    The leader is obviously from the Caribbean. And four of the remaining number are black, mainly Caribbean. A black majority. In the Peak District? FFS.
    Now lets be clear. Nothing against any of them as people.
    Just the disgusting BBC, painting a totally false picture once again to legitimise and normalise any and every ethnic grouping and along the way brainwash the rest of us.
    Been mountian walking for 30 years and more and have NEVER seen such an unrepresentative group in the hills.
    The British Brainwashing Corporation.Bias guaranteed.

      Now I check and find the libs have turned their story in a play ..which has been previewed on Breakfat-time etc.

      Black Men Walking” is inspired by the conversations of a black men’s walking group in the Peak District and promises to “turn a spotlight onto Britain’s missing histories”. It opens at the Royal Exchange (18 Jan – 3 Feb) before a UK tour

      Look North had a feature last week or so about a new play that’s going on at West Yorkshire Playhouse about blacks who go out hill walking.

      I remember a particularly triggering line quoted from it:
      “We walked this land before the English.”

    Oh God no, Countrytfile is promoting a story about encouraging ethnics to go walking in the Peak District. It also ran a story prior to this about illegal abbatoirs. It was clear that these were halal slaughter houses as it showed the knives used to cut the animals throats but no reference was made about Islam or to Islamic slaughter methods; there was even a photograph produced which showed a slaughterman of asian appearance in it.
    I’m going to watch The Grand Tour 2 for a decent dollop of political incorrectness now.

      This is what will happen when “ethnics “ discover the countryside.
      One million birds killed illegally every year at a wildlife site in Iran..

      A million wild birds a year are now being killed illegally at a single wildlife site in Iran. That is the stark warning from conservationists who say highly endangered migratory species face being wiped out in the near future there unless urgent action is taken.
      In a letter last week to the journal Science, the conservationists pinpoint the Fereydunkenar wetlands in Iran as the site of this widespread wildlife slaughter.

      Story was ran by the Guardian, but as far As I know not picked up by el Beeb

      I’ve spent a lot of my life on mountains (Started with my DofE) a lot of time on my own, Army expeditions (yes Army expeds) Climbed and walked all across Europe and the one thing I have noted is that very few coloured people are seen with a pack on their back. oh hang on we did bump into a load of ethnics in Kettlwell car park, they were busy throwing bits of a drystone wall into the river Wharf. They and their so called leader were told in very clear terms to stop what they would be doing or we would sort them out.

      In the lakes, I’ve seen more Chinese people than blacks or Asian and that was only in town on the hills, only white people (Apart from me) If you want to talk about at the bottom of a mountain, I’ve never seen a coloured person at Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, (And I’ve spent a lot of time in that bar) nor at the top of Scarfell, Skiddaw Blencathra or Helvellyn, mountains I have climbed a number of times since my teens. (My last time a few years ago I spent the night on Grisedale Tarn, after coming off Helvellyn, where I found my sleep bag zip had broken, I ended half sleeping in my rucksack inner, not a nice experience. On my way down we climbed up to fairfield peak and walked on the ridge via St Sunday crag down to Patterdale. Not one coloured person, however we did bump into a number of old age pensioners (in groups) enjoying a day out. (They were climbing up as we were descending)

      In Wales, Ive never seen whites in Devils Kitchen, a few on Snowden, but i was one and Andre my mate (both Army) was another.

      In Scotland, Ben Nevis attracts a load for charity work, but no sign elsewhere.

      In the Alps. and on the mountain, only white people. In Germany on a Sunday, they do Volk matches. (25 miles walks) never seen a non-white through the hills. (and I did loads) I’ve done the Nijmegen marches three times, the only coloured I saw was US and Dutch army personnel.

      From my experience the Blame community do not like the wilderness, its as simple as that. Unless of course its a bunch of Islamic terrorists getting paid to be filmed by the bBC.

        However I must add, my older brother did his DofE at Grammer School. I did mine and my younger brother did his . He is currently going through a midlife crisis which entails climbing, charity walks to the top of mountains and shagging lots of single women. (Which could explain why his wife kicked him out and took all his money and really big house)

        Myself I intend to visit the Nijmegen marches again in the future, however this time, I will spend it in the bars and cafes watching everybody else walking. Oh I do intend to ask for a souvenir. (Anybody who had done Nijmegen will chuckle at that remark) Another thing, you start walking at death O/Clock in the morning and the dutch are outside in their hundreds with small bites to eat, coffee and such for the walkers. Fantastic experience.

Down the riverbank they went and attempted to grab one of the resident pair; word soon went out and were quickly surrounded by some well agitated villagers. The bastards soon disappeared, not wishing to take on pension power ! and a Swan watch was quickly organised to ensure the safety of our beautiful birds.

    Alan’s introductory comment that ‘Britain has no culture’ reminds me of the Swedish government dummy who said something similar a few years back about her country, and how they needed more multiculturalism to make things more ‘interesting’. As grenades go off regularly in those colourful suburbs – interesting enough for you?

      By not doing so it gave the Remainiscum time to figure out strategies for how they were going to set about sabotaging Britain leaving the EU, we lost so much time then; what a waste.

    Here, Morse struggles to negotiate escalating social tensions as a protest at a hair salon exposes rapidly escalating racial unrest in the heart of the city. “

    IMHO , If Mrs May goes for a hard Brexit she would be guaranteed another term in office for her and the Tory Government, because all the UKIPers and a lot disillusioned of Labour voters would vote Tory .
    But Mrs May could be a ‘closet remainer then, I hope that Mr Rees-Mogg is ready to pounce.

    Turkish women sentenced to death in Iraq for IS links

    Links, all of these women have stated they went to the region in which to live in a pure Islamic state. A state stolen from the locals by the use of the bullet, bomb and knife. They knew what they were doing ,and yet the bBC tries to promote the view that this judgement might be flawed. Which can be explained by this:
    Lawyers for the women jailed for life had argued that they were tricked or coerced into travelling into IS territory, according to a courtroom observer.
