Blacker Dread, otherwise known as Steve Martin, is the subject of a BBC film, Being Blacker [March 12 BBC2]…a bit of a love story really, between the film-maker, Molly Dineen, and Dread. Dineen didn’t want to ask him any awkward questions that might put responsibility for his troubles onto him as it might have come between them and they would have lost that ‘fundamental sense of friendship’. So not a critical and impartial film then. Is there anything that might result in any criticism…such as being a leading figure in the Brixton Riots or being jailed for a massive money laundering scheme? No…his problems are all down to racism…the film apparently a ‘unique insight into what it is to be black in Britain today.’
Once again the BBC concentrates on the bad, the grievances, the racism and the alleged failure of Black people to be successful in Britain due to that.
When will the BBC tell the truth and bring a positive view of Black communities and people to the screen? The BBC is so intent on creating a case against Whites as the cause of all Black peoples’ problems that it fails to do justice to that community. Are there no successful Black people in Britain? No business-people, no academics, no musicians, no actors, no sports-people, no scientists or engineers or philosophers or inspirational teachers? No, in the BBC world Blacks are all gangsters, crooks or failures, victims of white racism and oppression. That’s the message the BBC sends out…it’s a deliberate message shaped to generate white guilt and political action and some positive discrimination…but all it does is send a message that Blacks have no place in Britain, they can’t succeed with the odds, allegedly, stacked so high against them. Once again the BBC spreads dangerous, divisive and wilfully misleading messages that does enormous harm to Black people and utlimately to the whole of society.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions…so if you spot any more of those BBC good intentions raise the alarm and list them here……

Title of guest’s paper
‘Brexit, Trump and ‘methodological whiteness’: on the misrecognition of race and class’, British Journal of Sociology.
She argues that it’s wrong to assert it’s working class that swung it.
– Claim #1 that Brexit was largely swung by middle class white people
…She failed to mention that none of the data is robust, cos your vote is secret…breakdown of race/class are just GUESSES based on opinion polling.
She was angy talk focused on white people.
.. She seems unaware that 90% of voters are white, since BAME skew to youth.
For Trump she claimed the opposite, that it was a white person thing
She claimed 96% of black women voted for Hillary.
… again I suspect her stats are not robust.
She claimed a lot of working class didn’t vote for Trump..now I can believe that much of American working class is now non-white and that generally were well brainwashed against Trump, but even then it won’t be universal.
The main issue is that libs take minorities for granted and say they MUST vote for libs
That their vote is owned by libs. .I think that is a wrong view

8pm R4MoralMaze : The Morality of International Aid
aid workers, sent to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake, chose instead to have sex with some of them,
Charities had seemed to be beyond criticism; paragons of virtue. Now their moral high ground is crumbling away.
we can’t stand the hypocrisy of powerful organisations using taxpayers’ money to lecture us on how to behave, while failing to get their own house in order.
There is a wider question about their effectiveness in helping people out of poverty: sceptics argue that global capitalism and stable institutions are much more important;
Others say, charities – like any institutions – can be infiltrated by bad people, but when it comes to long-term development, oversees aid helps far more than it hinders. R
do we still have a moral duty to give them money, either individually or collectively through tax, to help people in poor countries?

I believe they had sex with prostitutes not victims. Mind you, the Daily Mail did describe them somewhat improbably as “vulnerable prostitutes”.

It costs millions to place ads on the tv, so charities that can easily afford to do this and on a daily basis (watch the ad breaks on Sky News), clearly don’t need my fiver. I also cant believe that any income derived from these ads, comes anywhere near the cost of a 30 sec slot for a week. I also assume that these international charities must pay for ad-time in other European countries, so the revenue must be mind-boggling !

Its a typical Black Country community, friendly, helpful and, yes the sheds are all painted different colours, but its a really nice place and shows my home town in a positive light.

We always try to spend our money as responsibly and effectively as possible, and as a charity we are offered favourable rates on the production costs for the advertising.
The money spent on advertising helps push us to the front of people’s minds and increases their sense of our deservedness as a charity. A strong brand presence is critical //

THE cost of protecting John Major has risen by £250,000 to about £1.5 million a year after his purchase of a remote Norfolk holiday home that requires round-the-clock police surveillance.
. . . .
* Royalties from Mr Major’s autobiography, which earned him a £500,000 advance and became a surprise bestseller.
• Fees of £25,000 for speaking engagements. He once earned £140,000 from an eight-day speaking tour of the US.
• A pension of £50,000-a-year for his career in politics.

I suppose remainers will like his words because he says things they like to hear but for others he is meaningless and should have taken his peerage if only for all those expenses and a free central London parking space .

The country never ceases to amaze, Fedup. Under the government of Zuma (bad guy) the ANC shied away from grabbing land without compensation. Under Ramaphosa (good guy, the MSM say) it took no time at all for the ANC to take the plunge (which requires a change to the constitution).
There is an amendment about ‘food security’, showing that the ANC know only too well what they are about. But the corner has been turned. How many more (mostly white) South Africans will tonight be quietly preparing to pack their bags, no one knows. A signal has been sent, that could be the underlying purpose.

The EU will collapse under its own weight, it is unsupportable and unsustainable. Italy will set off the dominos and Catalonia will bring down the southern end of the EU. And then Sweden…then France and finally Germany and finito. We`ll be OK-as will New Europe-so best get those deals secured now with the solvent countries we`ll need to be trading with by then. Labour will not govern us , The Royals will go the way of all flesh after our Queen pops it.

But has the BBC made a pro-BREXIT programme yet?

Eerrrm, being a film buff, thought I’d watch tonight’s edition of Film 2018 to get a heads up as to the nominations for the Oscars on Sunday.
Clearly I haven’t watched this for some time as Claudia W was the last regular host, but I was faced with a lady who was speaking so fast I didn’t get her name, so on went the subtitles, apparently from Sarf London with lots of furvers, fir’ee free and a fird type of speak. I discovered she is one Clara Amfo. Me neither. On checking she’s done a bit of radio, so that’s ok then.
This programme was an Institution back in the day when it started with Philip Jenkinson & Tony Bilbow as Film Night, then came the halcyon days of proper journalist Barry Norman. It was through gritted teeth I watched Jonathan Ross, followed by Claudia W (why?), but its really reached rock bottom now. Such is the dumbing down of the BBC as a whole.

J R-M in good form there!
Clear and accurate.
Sharp and to the point.
Although I do wonder how many Beeboids know what ‘tendentious’ means …
I do wish J R-M on the question of the £350m per week had directed the interviewer to look at the BBC’s own web-site. That, at the time of the Referendum, checked the figure and found it correct, if a fractional UNDER-estimate.

The £350 million bus is old news now. J R-M’s main purpose here was to do Major’s legs: which he did beautifully.
I’d love to see Old Major up against J R-M in debate, though I don’t think the Grey Man would fair too damn well.

I see that the BBC are reporting that due to a skills shortage Dysons proposed electric car may be (Will be) manufactured outside the UK due to skills shortage here (Omg we should stop in EU and have open borders then no skill shortages here and Dyson will locate his factory in the UK)
What is happening is that the Latch Dyson has employed nearly 500 people in the UK to develop the car. UK based expertise developing the cat and it’s battery, motor and no doubt manufa tiring technique. This will no doubt involve grants from the government and be VAT free as it’s research
So once UK based engineers have developed the vehicle then he will exploit cheap labour and tax favourable environments to produce the vehicle using unskilled labour. This is the process he developed with his vacuum cleaner business. Use UK expertise then export the design to an off shore manufacturing base.
So the car plant could quite easily be built in the UK and operate successfully however Dyson choses (again) to make his profit from cheap overseas manufacturing hubs.
I also see tgat Toyota have chosen the UK as it’s manufacturing centre for the me Auris. Not surprisingly this isn’t reported by the anti British pro anything not British cuckold BBC.
I so despise them and there constant betrail of the UK it’s heritage and culture.
That’s that of my chest. In true British fashion I’ll now send more pictures of snow on my wheelie bin.
Omg I can’t the bins black the snow on top is white I’m trying to demonstrate the white man’s dominance over BME through use of subliminal messages…

Outlook on BBC World Service tells the delightful tale of a black woman who set an orchestra where no whites were allowed in, on the spurious basis that young BAME people think “you can’t be what you can’t see.” What patronising, divisive, racist nonsense. And it was no doubt some lavishly funded ‘equalities’ professional who came up with this revolting idea. Always the same old story: not enough minorities in a certain pursuit so we tried to get more. So, so boring and always a one way street. Never a quest to get more working class white boys into medicine.
Trump’s communications officer has left her post, which the Beeb sneeringly say shows how Trump was lying when he said the White House was a well-oiled machine. Why did she leave? There could be countless legitimate reasons. Is she pregnant? Is she rightly tired of all the media bullying? Does she feel she could better serve Trump outside the White House? Has her partner been offered a job on the East Coast? Zero analysis, of course, but they have to stick the boot in like snide bitchy adolescents.
Also report into some kids abused by other whites in the fifties! Such a supply and demand problem as they need to go back sixty years. What about the thousands being ‘groomed’ now up North and elsewhere?
I am sure most of the Beeb would be out of a job were it not for their ‘unique method of funding.” Well-oiled machine? It is garish, only goes in one direction and you steal the oil.

So another former prime minister Anthony Blair is sticking his head above the parapet to tell us why were so wrong to vote brexit.
This is the man who allowed a million poles into Blighty in one year thus swamping the country . Poles are good decent Hard working people but this has crushed public services
Blair says “trust my judgement “ which really means change your vote and stay in the EUreich . No
Al beeb gave him an easy time

More a sychophantic love-in.
“Good morning sir, do be so kind and tell the listeners how you feel about Brexit”

Excellent point.
Given their level of trade with us, it should be a slam dunk.
Except not sure the EU money tree to the Republic has dried up.
How else could they have built up their water and motorway network these past 20 + years?
I was always dreadfully p***** off driving in the Republic on new roads featuring “ funded by the EU” signs. That meant funded by the UK. Meanwhile we struggle through our pothole- infested underinvested roads where any mention of improvement seems to co-incide with a sudden population explosion of Great Crested Newts. The thought that we could afford to build their roads but not our own did not sit well.

Having been away and travelling the first half of week – I had forgotten how ridiculous the BBC is in its antics on Brexit, the weather and multicultualism..
I travelled from the north to Southampton yesterday in sunshine with the odd area of frost on motorway whilst listening to the BBC go on about the weather affecting everything…Get some accuracy and perspective!
This morning Breakfast has been incessant on the little bits of snow in some places – Does Rab sponsor BBC weather people?
Last night watched a funny Live at Apollo..the crowd, when shown in full view was 90%+ white…so why were 80% of close up shots of of ethnic origin?
I have no issue with race, creed or colour (provided everyone accepts ours laws and culture) but I do to the BBC’s constant ramming it down your throat that makes out everyone in the UK is of ethnic origin…didn’t see this in Italy on the TV..
Or is it just me coming back to the UK after a break?

Did Theresa May check all the food was Halal Compliant at here CORRESPONDENTS DINNER Evening Bash {order-order.com} .. so she can fund the political Halal Food Authority ….I’m sure she does not want to upset religions people … being a Christian ….
The Halal Food Authority (HFA) have issued legal proceedings against the leaders of Britain First – Paul Golding, and deputy leader, Jayda Fransen.
On Thursday 2nd February 2017, a video was published on the official YouTube channel and Facebook page of Britain First, which featured two HFA staff members and consisted of defamatory claims against our organisation.
In response to these claims that have been disseminated by Britain First to thousands of people on the internet, HFA have issued legal proceedings to safeguard the integrity of our organisation.
It is also imperative for HFA to lead by example in not allowing these claims to tarnish the reputation of the entire Halal industry.

Too many examples, not of bias as such, but FakeNews and FalseFacts – especially the latter – on TODAY on R4 this morning.
Tony Blair, in the post 8.10am main interview slot, implies that the glorious EU has been in existence for 100years. Sarah Montague is fast asleep and doesn’t pull him up on that. She misses a couple of other half truths or deceits, too.
There were other examples from when I started listening at 7.20am-ish through to switch-off when the TOADY Prog starts to self-glorify the BBC (on its main radio News programme!) over the start of the Civilisation re-make on telly.
Pah!

As for that bBC advice on keeping warm, brandy? really, love how they add the stupid british guy at the end. Funny I haven’t seen one such idiot these past few days, just as I haven’t seen anybody wearing pumps like you do, during our usual very mild winters. I wonder why?
Just for the info, for some very strange reason I own a couple of these fantastic pieces of kit, unlike the civy versions, they wash and wear very well , a lot lighter and are cheaper. Go for brand new and not used.
I also own one of these, but that is simply kicking the arse out of things.

Pounce ,
Don’t need an outage on the gas supply but unless HMG starts to really work on filling the energy gas either gas or electricity supply will be affected . The margins are getting too tight. If the Reich EU starts getting a big quiffy about energy supply we could be tested. Hopefully though the tv- al Beeb will be the first energy saving step.

Noted that our local agricultural college closed for the day, despite there only being a dusting of snow at 8am.
All those 4x4s, tractors and bone headed strapping lads, but a bit of snow floored them.
All the private businesses were open-all the public sector services either didn`t open up, or closed at lunchtime.
Guessing that no teachers live near enough to walk into work-but tell the kids about what car fumes do to the planet every other lesson.
To be fair, it`s got bad since-and to be charitable, maybe the forecasts and health and safety mob make it hard to do your job these days.

The otherday after the rugby a few people here pointed out the biased anti-English reporting from the bBC regards ‘Englands’ loss. Here is how they report the abuse the English coach received when he caught the train back to England.
Eddie Jones says he was ‘physically and verbally abused’ after Calcutta Cup defeat
Watch the video, according to the bBC headline it is simply an allegation and then they come out with this:
“Former Scotland and Lions captain Hastings, who won 67 international caps, said opposing supporters of Jones’ team wanted to “rub his face in the dirt”.
Really????
The bBC brings out somebody to defend abuse and then right at the end they decide to insert the highlights of the Scotland /England match.
Now contrast that to any story the cock suckers at the bBC push out regards Muslims, gay blokes in the Uk or god forbid,a women who went out for a meal 10 years ago and somebody made a pass at her.
