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
      …. Second generation immigrants are often for strong borders etc.

    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?

    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 !

          Sorry, but even though I dislike the bbc and all it stands for, the allotment shown in that indent is in my home town, I can see it from my living room window and it is actually a co!ourful community of sensible people who mix together and get on really well. My dad had an allotment on there for many years and I still know (and get vegetables) from a lovely Sikh gentleman who worked with my dad in a foundry.

          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.

          @Brissles, I also support the RGT, my brother has rehomed two beautiful greyhounds (one now sadly dead) from Hall Green RGT and they are beautiful dogs. I also support a local cat charity and have recently started to support Westie Rescue, as a Westie owner, I am happy to support a new, small charity, at least I know the money goes to help them, not inflated salaries.

        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 //

        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.
        Lessons from Zimbabwe are being ignored. The story is being ignored. The BBC have nothing to say. The Beast from the East is so much simpler to report on. And the little regular light that came on and required another story about the evil pre-1994 government, stays off now. And if they do a story, you can bet you know the slant already…no prizes.

      Schools and universities are simply bolt holes for the public sector “education professionals” to get out and away , so saving on the heating at home, and parroting the Guardian or the NAS.
      Nothing of value has been taught in a school since the National Curriculum came in-Thatchers colossal blunder that gave Baker and Clarke their starts.
      No wonder that no cameras are ever allowed into schools or universities-all cake sales, transcrap and all manner of excuses not to teach or to learn.

      But who can forget the likes of Arthur Bastard, Ron Knee (69 and ashen faced), and the best of all, The Clintistorit of Wintistering! I think they still use Sir Herbert Gussett, but like you, I gave up reading it about the same time, and when Paul Foot (one ofthe best investigative journalists ever) died, they lost the plot, and Hislop started to finish them off for good!

      ‘The slicker of Wakefield’ was a masterpiece. I knew one of the panel of architects who had to take the case to law, and he admitted the the Eye had started a huge story which they just had to investigate.

      I’ll try not to mention the names again, although the Grauniad (for younger readers), was only a dig at the appalling proof reading and bad spelling!

    There are 2 types of media..Lala-land-media and a tiny proportion of media that report on the real world.

    #1 Farage has just scoffed at the idea that Customs Union is the only way for Northern Ireland .. explaining that the EU has already produced a document which lists various options

    #2 On the Finance Show at 3pm
    a brave caller pointed out that expert panelists were talking rubbish when they talked about record low unemployment
    cos although economy is not terrible the unemploymet figs are fudged by various tricks, and actually there are millions of spare workers in the UK

    #2a Similarly the experts insist that UK worker productivity is so much lower than France ..that really suggests to me that doesn’t reflect the real world which we experience, when doing business in France.

      The media surely must know that we`re post politics as they understood it.
      Since the financial crash of 2008, they`ve been running on empty where there is no correlation between financial growth and any worthwhile production of stuff to anchor it in tangible goods.
      The MPs expenses finished them-there ought to have been a civil war and reckoning with the eltes back then.
      Add Islam as a constant flammable-and we have the recipe for real trouble. Does anybody think that a Toys R Us voucher ought not to be redeemable as Linecker gets a main vein to pay for his lifestyle?
      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      No obsessions about race or gender. No helf and safety. No soshil meedjer. Conscription. Just a thought…

      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.
      But blame Major and Blair. I lob them together now.

    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.

      Remember what Edinburgh cybernats did to Farage when he dared to go there?
      Tomorrow belongs to them because we didn`t deal with them and their bullying when we ought to have.
