“It’s quite reductionist,” she tells me firmly, “to call them ‘jihadi brides’. They’re facilitators, logisticians, propagandists. There’s more to these women socially, politically, psychologically, culturally, that we don’t understand and that we need to understand.”

'My Return from IS' will not be broadcast as planned. We have made this decision for duty of care reasons following discussions with contributors to the programme.

Panorama has pulled, seemingly indefinitely, its film called ‘My Return from IS’ which would have told ‘the story of a British woman who is back in the UK after living with so-called Islamic State in Syria for more than two years before managing to escape with the help of her mother. She was arrested, but after extensive debriefing by counterterrorist officers the CPS decided there were no grounds for prosecution. `Fatima’ tells Panorama reporter Peter Taylor how the group has hijacked Islam, with men acting as cannon fodder and women used for cooking, cleaning and giving birth.’

As you might imagine it was most likely going to be a puff piece that portrayed the ‘Jihadi Brides’ as naive and well-meaning victims and the men as brave, if deluded, defenders of Islam under attack from Western aggression, men who didn’t understand the true, peaceful nature of Islam and who believed, wrongly, that they were carrying out its commands.   Naturally that is a picture the BBC has always wanted to peddle but even a Muslim expert on radicalisation doesn’t accept that saying the Jihadi Brides were far more willing and active than the likes of the BBC would have you believe telling us “It’s quite reductionist,” she tells me firmly, “to call them ‘jihadi brides’. They’re facilitators, logisticians, propagandists. There’s more to these women socially, politically, psychologically, culturally, that we don’t understand and that we need to understand.”

The question stands though as to why the BBC pulled the programme?  It tells us that it spoke to contributors to the programme and made the decision to cancel based upon ‘duty of care considerations’ but not expanding upon that.

You have to think that this may be related to the Darren Osborne terror attack at Finsbury Park and is a reaction to the news that the BBC drama ‘Three Girls’ was the catalyst for his descent into radicalisation….though why the programe wasn’t called ‘1,400 Girls’ is beyond me.  Good I suppose that the BBC admits, in a very roundabout way, that its programme was in its way responsible for the attack because the BBC otherwise has signally failed to admit that its coverage was ‘the catalyst’ preferring to blame the Far-Right, social media and Tommy Robinson, who had little to absolutely nothing to do with the attack.  The BBC was absolutely right to show the film, if years too late and an exercise in trying to make itself appear to be a leading campaigner against the abuse, when in fact it had covered it up for years….one of its own journalists admitting that he knew what was going on and asking why the police did nothing…but not thinking to ask why he himself failed to break the story which would have forced the police and authorities to act.

Douglas Murray in the Spectator believes the BBC may retreat back into those old ways of covering up crimes and other unpleasant behaviour by Muslims because it fears to report them may lead to anti-Muslim anger.

Will the BBC go back to ignoring grooming gangs?

For the best part of a decade the BBC – like most other mainstream media – chose to ignore the issue of the northern Muslim grooming gangs. They didn’t know any of the victims, didn’t know the towns and somewhere along the way (subliminally or otherwise) made the decision that all this was just too horrible and delicate a story to wade into.

I know what people at the BBC and elsewhere will be thinking. Perhaps this vindicates the silence of all those years. Perhaps the public cannot be trusted. Perhaps they are indeed the sort of people who have in their midst people on a hair-trigger who are willing to hire trucks and drive them into crowds of people at a moment’s notice. Perhaps the censorship and silence were after all a good idea? Personally I happen to think not. But nobody should be surprised if the BBC reverts to ignoring crimes like Rochdale in the future.

Matti Freidman in the Atlantic notes a similar attitude when reporting about Israel as the reporters choose to side with the Palestinians….’This group of intelligent and generally well-meaning professionals ceased to be reliable observers and became instead an amplifier for the propaganda of one of the most intolerant and aggressive forces on earth.’

Orwell spelt it out years ago….“The argument that to tell the truth would be ‘inopportune’ or would ‘play into the hands of’ somebody or other is felt to be unanswerable, and few people are bothered by the prospect that the lies which they condone will get out of the newspapers and into the history books.”

That is precisely the BBC’s attitude.  They believe that reporting such events ‘play into the hands of the Far-Right’ and thus should be censored and suppressed.  But that attitude sacrificed 1,400 girls to the Muslim predators that groomed, raped and abused them under the noses of the media and authorities who held back from acting due to concerns about race and religion.  It also of course does in the end serve to bolster the Far-Right as the story becomes massive and very toxic in a way that it never would have done if it had been nipped in the bud so many years, and so many victims, earlier.  The censorship creates the very thing it is meant to stop…just as the media’s attempts to silence voices on immigration lead to the rise of the Far-Right across Europe as most other people are intimidated by the ‘liberal’ intolerance of their views and the labelling of them as racists making life for them very difficult.

The BBC has in fact been slipping back into its bad old ways of suppressing or indeed rewriting history in order to change people’s perceptions by providing an alternate truth, alternate facts.  Reports of a Trojan Horse plot by Muslim conservatives to take over and Islamise secular schools was  fully backed up by the evidence and several investigations and yet the BBC ignored or downplayed its existence when the story first broke and suppressed crucial evidence that confirmed that such attempts to Islamise schools were in fact official MCB policy as revealed in its 2007 guidance document to schools, drawn up by the same man at the heart of the Trojan Horse plot, that tried to pressurise schools into Islamising their curriculum, buildings and activities…in order to make schools more Islam friendly so that Muslim pupils could fully follow their beliefs and would feel more integrated…and thus, the implicit threat, would not feel alienated, marginalised and angry which may lead to radicalisation, extremism and terror.

The BBC always reported the plot as if it was something made up by Islamophobes and that the letter which outlined the plot was a hoax.  The BBC’s Phil Mackie insisted that it was just fantasy, created by paranoid, racist Islamophobes…

Despite the plot having been proven the BBC is now working to discredit the story and you may hear several programmes that look at the subject and revise the facts the suit the BBC’s own agenda telling us that the letter was definitely a hoax and that there was no plot.

Recent events of course show why that narrative is not only wrong but dangerous as Islamists force a school to bow to pressure and Islamise itself.

Religious extremists are using schools to narrow children’s horizons and “pervert education”, England’s chief inspector of schools has warned.

Amanda Spielman said some community leaders see schools as vehicles to “indoctrinate impressionable minds” – with extremist ideology in some cases.

Ofsted inspectors are increasingly coming into contact with such extremists, she said.

She is asking head teachers to confront those who foster extremist behaviour.

The BBC naturally sides with those who would surrender to the extremists…‘is it the role of a head teacher to dictate who should and who should not be allowed to wear such an item? Even if they are in charge of uniform policies. By calling on head teachers to exercise a “muscular liberalism” in the face of ultra-conservative forces, she may yet stir up more opposition than she anticipated.’

Yep, let’s not make the extremists angry….do what they want us to do and all will be peaceful….and Kirsty Wark thinks ‘there may be a danger you conflate [islamic] conservatism with extremism’…Muslim of course, as the BBC always conflates conservatism, the blue kind, with extremism.  However, Muslim conservatism is extremism in the context of any Western society…completely at odds with our values and beliefs.

The Trojan Horse Plot is true and the BBC reaction is the same old one of trying to suppress the truth in the vain hope of keeping the peace…..not realising that the extremists will never rest and that every appeasement just emboldens them to keep on demanding more….and of course there may well be a counter-reaction all the more violent as it has been suppressed for so long.

As mentioned above, it does seem that this is the true nature of BBC journalism now…

‘This group of intelligent and generally well-meaning professionals ceased to be reliable observers and became instead an amplifier for the propaganda of one of the most intolerant and aggressive forces on earth.’

'My Return from IS' will not be broadcast as planned. We have made this decision for duty of care reasons following discussions with contributors to the programme.

— Panorama ???? (@BBCPanorama) February 5, 2018

Panorama have pulled a programme called ‘My Return from InSanity’…apparently it is about Anna Soubry’s retreat from loony radical extremism back into the fold of moderate politics but she has vehemently denied it was her…ah, no, my mistake…that was just me thinking she had once deserted the Tories for the SDP…which she claims is “a terrible lie that is put about”.  Hmmmm…Marxism Today in 1981 seemed pretty sure she did defect to the SDP…

In August there was the defection of eight prominent Tory ex-students, including three recent ex-chairmen of the Federation of Conservative Students from the period of co-operation with the left.  With rather rabid Thatcherites now in control of the FCS, the large minority of Tory students who voted for one of the defectors, Anna Soubry, for the post of chairman (sic) last year — she only lost by 119 votes to 128 — will be tempted to follow them. The defecting wets had planned to make a bigger splash at the beginning of this academic year, but their plans were leaked, and they had to go early.

Not as if she has changed since then…always ready to abandon her party and her principles if she thinks it serves her own purpose….looking to create a new party last year that would dump Brexit….

Anna Soubry was still more positive about a new party, arguing: “If it could somehow be the voice of a moderate, sensible, forward-thinking, visionary middle way, with open minds – actually things which I’ve believed in all my life – better get on with it.”

Soubry always looks and sounds like someone who has had a finger shoved up her bum and she doesn’t like it…still, she had her fans back in the day….one who also sheds more light on the SDP ‘mystery’…

When she was 22, [she] attended a conference held by the Federation of Conservative Students in Liverpool, where the 19-year-old Paul Goodman, who was badly hung over, witnessed her performance:

“The debate droned on.  My eyelids drooped downwards.  Then what appeared to be a small nuclear explosion took place in the general vicinity of the microphone.  A young woman wearing skintight jeans was addressing what Sir Edward Boyle once called the only intelligent audience in the Conservative Party.  My eyelids lifted up.  She was shouting vigorously.  The conference was shouting back…

I was transfixed.  Less by the quality of the argument (if that’s the right way of describing what was taking place) than by the gorgeous pouting allure of the speaker.  To my youthful imagination, her primal rage suggested Helen of Troy getting down and dirty. How had she managed to get those jeans on?  Would I be able to get them off?…. she was then, by Conservative standards, very left-wing indeed….She hung around for a bit in the Party – I recall reading that at one conference she declared “Knickers to the TUC”, the kind of detail which my memory clings to – before vanishing from view. The cause was not so much her dalliance with the SDP (she only returned to the Conservatives after the 2001 election defeat)“

The answer to the second of these questions turned out to be “No”, as he admitted on recalling the occasion in a piece for ConHome published in 2011. But Soubry, as he realised, was a woman to watch.

Maybe to watch out for.

So people around her at the time seem to think she did join the SDP….is she a liar?

The BBC don’t care, they give her every utterance top billing as long as she attacks Boris, JRM and Brexit.

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…..

This perfectly illustrates the bubble BBC journos live in as the People’s Republic of Islington inhabitant Daniel Sandford seeks a bit of love and sympathy for his problems…imposed by his Labour council based upon the green climate change agenda as promoted and championed by his own employer….not a lot of love forthcoming in the comments…lol…

Islington’s new diesel surcharge means that when there is no space in residents bays on our street we have to pay almost £5 to park for 23 mins. This is parking we have already paid for.remember.

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) February 5, 2018

Then again he doesn’t get a lot of love for this daft comment either…considering it was a BBC programme that was the catalyst for Osborne’s radicalisation as told by the police…[H/T Guest Who]

Though of course the most recently convicted terrorist, Darren Osborne, was a keen Tommy Robinson follower https://t.co/gQxWcCiJ5t

In a world of his own.

One has to laugh doesn’t one?  The BBC rattle on about abuse on social media and it has to sack one of its own for wishing death upon Zac Goldsmith…

BBC Sack Zac Threat Presenter

The BBC has sacked a radio presenter who told Tory MP Zac Goldsmith that a death threat sent to an 80 year-old Brexit-supporting constituent “should have been addressed to you”.

Then again the BBC is not too eager to delve into who it is that is dishing out most of the abuse on social media to politicians even as May threatens new laws to curb such abuse telling us it is a threat to democracy.   Would have thought the real threat to democracy were the mobs of Corbyn supporters and hard-left activists who use violence, intimidation and mass disorder to disrupt not only lawful debates and discussions but also to attempt to close down businesses that they do not like…this is verging on terrorism and is a very real threat to democracy and social stability.

Whilst not looking too closely at the activities of Corbyn’s Momentum stormtroopers the BBC doesn’t bother itself with the Remoaner’s ‘Forlorn Hope’ of door kickers, Dementum, whose mission it is in life to say the most abusive things they can about Leave voters and Brexiteer politicians in the fading hope that the resultant headlines will somehow persuade everyone to come aboard their rapidly sinking ship.

Something of a mystery that May claims abuse is putting people off becoming politicians when it is high profile politicians who are more often than not just as guilty as anyone else….and indeed BBC journalists who aren’t shy with their thoughts about Leave voters being stupid, old, uneducated, racist little Englanders who have made Britain a nastier and more racist place….and of course not a few commentators and indeed politicians have expressed the wish for the old Leave voters to die quickly.

Impartial civil servants prove their impartiality with very uncivil comments about Brexiteers….calling them ’emotional nutcases’, ‘completely crazy snakeoil salesmen’, ‘rabid brexiteers’ and ‘Nazis’.  Yes, I’m sure every Treasury leak is pure accident and the documents absolutely fair and irreproachably impartial in their assessments on Brexit.

Then of course there are the actual politicians who deride Brexiteers as ‘swivel-eyed loons’, “elderly retired men” without mortgages or young children’,  wreckers, mentally ill, as well as the usual disparaging insults about being uneducated, stupid, bigoted, racist, not caring about children’s futures, old and wanting to recreate a mythical past where Britain was all white.

Then there’s Matthew Parris who is in a class of his own….he dishes out the usual insults as above and does so relentlessly and with abandon….but his favourite meme is that Leave voters shouldn’t be allowed to vote…they are just too stupid…but here’s his latest….Brexiteers are insane zealots…..hmmm…so zealous that they don’t actually believe in what they are doing…thus they are also liars…..yes, can’t quite work out the logic but here, you have a go…..

This is the same Parris who said this about voters in Clacton….

“Clacton is going nowhere. It’s voters are going nowhere, it’s rather sad, and there’s nothing more to say.”

“This is Britain on crutches. This is tracksuit and- trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain.

“I am not arguing we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton.

“But I am arguing – if I am honest – we should be careless of their opinions.”

Pretty much sums up the attitude of the Remoaners whose contemptuous arrogance and disregard for the people of Britain is blatantly apparent in everything they say.  Good job we have the stalwart, honest and impeccably impartial BBC to hold them to account and to bring light and truth to the matter of Brexit.

Why has everyone forgotten about male suffrage?

While the story of female suffrage is taught at school from a young age, few people today know the long and gruesome history of how men won the right to vote, says Neil Lyndon

There is a reason why our view of this history is as biased, one-sided and prejudiced as the account of the Eighth Route Army that was taught to Chinese children under Mao.

The reason is that the whole truth is extremely inconvenient. It conflicts with the dominant feminist narrative which portrays women as the victims of repressive men, from whom liberation and progress had to be wrested by militant uprising. The true history of votes for women, however, is not a story of sex war but of a continuous progress of electoral reform over a century from 1832-1928 in which women’s suffrage was only one element.

It is also true that, as a whole, that complete story does credit both to Britain and to men whose memory deserves our continuing honour, compassion and respect.

Listening to Emma Barnett and Co enthusiastically championing the Suffragettes and ‘votes for women’ remarkably there seemed to be no mention that millions of men didn’t have the vote either…..which kind of puts a spoke in the BBC narrative that not giving women the vote was a political ploy to keep them alone oppressed and in the kitchen.

The Representation of the People Act 1918 gave the vote to 8 million women and over 5 million men….5 million men whom the BBC seems to have pretty much forgotten today.

The whole BBC narrative is one of men suppressing women but ignores the fact that it had less to do with gender and more to do with economics, who worked, who had money and property and who, they thought, had a real stake in the country and thus should be allowed to vote….and keep them in power.

Barnett otherwise was on form as usual…just why we had Juliet Stevenson, lovey actor, on I’m not sure….Labour supporter, pro-immigration and pro-Remain.

There was also Tory Victoria Atkins who has fled Twitter due to the abuse she gets…which immediately made the BBC headlines.  Barnett though berated her for being in a Tory Party propped up by the DUP [called ‘backward and unpleasant’ by Muslim Mishal Husain for its Christian beliefs…LOL]…because that is ‘an issue’.  The DUP are, according to Barnett, ‘uncomfortable bedfellows’ due to their opposition to gay marriage and being anti-choice as Barnett put it….a cuddly bit of spin meaning anti-abortion.    Does she say the same thing about Muslim or Catholic MPs?  Does she berate the Pope who is equally against such issues.

Of course not…it is only ‘an issue’ because the DUP are ‘propping up’ the hated Tories and keeping Brexit on track.  The mass murdering IRA the BBC has no problem with….nor with Corbyn who was vocal in his support for them…and indeed them for him it seems now.

Labour’s Jess Phillips received a much warmer welcome with no difficult questions.  All a bit of a love in today.  Despite a programme dedicated to women’s issues and examining the abuse female politicians get Barnett didn’t raise any questions about Corbyn, Momentum and Phillips’ life under that regime despite headlines like this from last year….

Jess Phillips: ‘Labour under Corbyn feels like I’ve been locked out of my home’

When Jess Phillips said that the misogyny she received from left-wing men was the “absolute worst” they quickly proved her point. Last week the Labour MP’s Twitter feed flowed with “men telling me I didn’t understand sexism, that I deserved it, that I was fat, ugly, that I was probably on my period”.

Just another Muslim playing the victim and the Islamophobia card.

Sue at Is the BBC biased? noted that a Muslim had written a piece in the Guardian, where else BBC beside?, claiming that no-one had called the attack by Darren Osborne a ‘terror attack’.  His starting point was a Times report…

Why was the accused, Darren Osborne, described as a “jobless lone wolf”? Why was he not immediately branded a terrorist, as violent extremist Islamists are?

Well firstly the immediate thing to see on the Times report was this….

Jobless ‘lone wolf’ Darren Osborne held over attack on Finsbury Park mosque

Not sure how our Muslim agitator could have missed that unless he wanted to.  Nor could he miss the fact that just about everyone called the attack a ‘terror attack’….just google ‘Darren Osborne terrorist’ and you’ll find plenty of reports doing so from the time of the attack….

Police now treating London van incident outside mosque as a “terrorist incident”.

Our friend claims…

The Finsbury Park attack is a painful crystallisation of the recent atmosphere of Islamophobia, leaving no room for dispute regarding the immediacy or gravity of this scourge.

In fact the attack was a reaction to the rape and abuse of 1400 white girls by Muslim men and numerous terrorist attacks in this country.  It resulted purely from what Osborne himself saw and read about very real events that actually happened not the result of some fake, anti-Muslim stories created to stir up trouble.  The catalyst, as told by the police, was a truthful exposé of events in Rochdale by the BBC and then the bombing in Manchester and other attacks.  The real cause of this attack, the real scourge, are the various attacks carried out by Muslims which turned Osborne’s mind towards his own terror attack in revenge.

What this article is really about is making excuses for Muslim terrorists whom the author wants to explain away as ‘mentally ill’ claiming that calling someone a terrorist and someone else mentally ill is so unfair…

These discrepancies only fuel Islamophobia further, insidiously promoting division.

It’s the usual Islamist trick of claiming a false victimhood and telling us it creates anger and fuels radicalisation in the victimised Muslim community and of course attempting to blame everything in the mythical ‘Islamophobia’ in an effort to attack all critics of Islam and Muslim behaviour and to persuade the authorities to give Muslims a privileged and favoured status in society….the end game to blackmail them into allowing Muslims to live in an entirely parallel legal and cultural system based  upon Islamic values and laws….not to allow this would only make Muslims angry and marginalised and result in radicalisation and terrorism.

‘One lesson well understood in both Stalin’s Russia and Nazi Germany was that propaganda is most effective when it is backed by terror’

Remarkable what a few bombings, throat cuttings and drive-over murders can do, by fortuitous mischance, for the Muslim community, which of course condemns utterly the terror attacks…but still, eh, why not reap the benefits as the red carpet is laid out with everyone bending over backwards not to ‘offend’ them and to make sure they have every opportunity to exploit the appeasement?  The terrorists are not Muslims, they pervert a great religion which is a religion of peace…and yet we are told that if Muslims are not appeased they will become radicalised and become terrorists…and yet…the terrorists are not Muslim?

Niall Fergusson in the Sunday Times….

We let Lenin rise, millions died.  Now it’s Islamism.

The West failed to stop communism and is repeating the awful blunder.

I fear that we shall wake with a start to discover that the Islamists have repeated the Bolshevik achievement, which was to acquire the resources and capability to threaten our existence.

Just another day on the BBC, just another programme about Muslims, just another day when we are supposed to learn how wonderful and ‘just like us’ Muslims are.  A sleight of hand, so to speak, because of course the problem is with Islamism the ideology and those who observe its strict and oppressive tenets rigorously and completely…..Islamism being totally at odds with Western, Christian, democratic, liberal society.

The programme brings us Mehreen Baig whom you may remember from ‘Muslims like us’, a programme that failed utterly in its intended purpose to act as a vehicle for pro-Muslim propaganda…instead it confirmed everything we ever thought about Islam and what goes on in the Muslim community.  Notable was that Baig fell under the spell of the infamous Islamist in the programme and was always making googly eyes at him….despite his fanaticism and her supposed liberal attitude.  What we saw was that ‘liberal’ Muslims were Muslim first and that it didn’t take much for them to start attacking Britain and British history.  We also saw that the liberal Muslims soon caved in to the radicals giving up any argument and retreating into silence.  The programme was a perfect microcosm of what happens in the real community as determined, intimidatory conservative Muslims enforce strict observance of the ideology upon everyone…non-Muslims as well it seems judging by the BBC’s appeasement….and of course the Trojan Horse plot.

Still, a bit of balance with ‘Fascists like us’  on the BBC next week….making the case that Fascists are misunderstood, marginalised and disenfranchised and really should be allowed to practice their ideology freely without condemnation or abuse.  No?

List the bias here…..

The BBC is up to its usual tricks as it disparages and patronizes British people whilst talking of the wonders of the hard working Slav…or is that slave?

In this video the BBC stages a scenario engineered purely to show British workers in a bad light whilst telling us how vital and hard working foreign workers are.  What we get is a bunch of ‘soft’ office worker types, mostly women, who clearly don’t do manual labour and know they are there for a day and that their living, thus their lives, do not depend on them picking a great deal of cabbages.  They have never done this work before and clearly have no experience of the work, how to do it or what the tricks of the trade are, nor are they used to the conditions…extremely wet, cold and muddy here.

The BBC has set them up in a race against European migrant workers in what is obviously a completely unfair comparison…the EU workers are not only probably used to manual labour and bad working conditions at home but also, having done the job here, know the ropes and how to do it quickly and efficiently.  On top of that their pay and livelihood depends on them picking as much as possible unlike the Brits who are here for the day and have no need to work hard.  The EU workers have no choice, the Brits are playing at it for the cameras.

The BBC gets what it wants….the Brits saying it’s terribly hard work and they wouldn’t like to do it, and we really need the EU workers to come here.

The BBC takes no account that Brits receive generous benefits payments and have absolutely no incentive to live on a farm in portacabins far from home with a load of strangers, work in fields in all weather conditions earning the minimum wage….maybe more on a good day.  Even if they could earn more in the fields the calculation would be is it worth the hassle and discomfort?  The answer is obviously no.   The BBC answer….keep paying the benefits and import massive numbers of foreign workers instead.

The BBC also forgets conveniently that farmers have told it that they would start automating things much more if the supply of workers dropped off…thus increasing productivity…and proving that the importation of an endless supply cheap labour keeps wages low and keeps productivity low….in factories as well as in the fields.

When the Tories say they want to make work pay and to get people off benefits the BBC continually attacks them and indeed is aghast at the ‘tone’ of the conversation…and yet the BBC itself is quite happy to label British workers as feckless, workshy and lazy people when it wants to pump out pro-EU propaganda.

Trite nonsense from the BBC.   Shameless propagnda.

We’ve all heard of ‘Populism’, the word used to describe, demean and malign, those ‘deplorables’ who dare to vote for anything that the highy educated, clever, articulate, rational and sensible beings that waft along the corridors of the BBC deem unacceptable and beyond the pale.

Populism is of course merely another word for democracy.  The BBC et al dismiss it as exploitative politicians with evil intent conning people to vote for them with simple, crowd-pleasing promises and solutions to complex problems.  Hmmm…wouldn’t that just about describe every election where the cry of ‘more money’ is the answer to everything…indeed the very same answer that you can hear the BBC itself promoting everyday, every hour, on the airwaves as it calls for ‘more money’ for the NHS or schools or housing or police or social services or for cancer treatment or mental health etc etc etc?

Populism is just democracy.  We know the BBC doesn’t really like democracy so I suppose it has to cover up that dislike by using another word to express its hatred for the People and their uneducated, feral desires.

There is another word of course that describes the likes of the BBC and its fellow travellers who like to lord it over the rest of us…‘Copulism’.

In essence it means ‘F**k the People’.  Might suggest that is precisely what is going on now with the attempts to betray those who voted for Brexit and even those who didn’t, for the confusion, uncertainty and instability being sown by the mutineers and saboteurs, the Copulists, and the prevention of a single, strong narrative and negotiating position undermines the British position and hands the EU the whip-hand…and should we get a very bad deal and May backpeddles on her ‘No deal’ alternative due to pressure from the Remainder Copulists then the EU will have us over a barrel and we will be forced to accept extremely disadvantageous terms that are worse than we now have….we certainly will lose the rebate and our voting powers will be restricted.  In other words if we try to remain it will be a disaster worse than whatever Remain paint Brexit as….not in anyone’s interests, Remain or Leave.

The BBC and the Remainders have chosen the economy as their battle ground despite Brexit having little to do with economics.  It plays a part but is not the main issue by far….it’s about sovereignty, control, immigration, infrastructure, culture and living in a place that you can call home where you are not a stranger in your own land.  Day in day out we hear the BBC pump out their own negative ‘impact assessments’ [who needs the governments?] of the supposed Brexit effect on the economy….job losses, downturn in production, businesses fleeing abroad, lack of investment, inflation #duetobrexit, a plague of cancer, aircraft dropping out of the skies, no more holidays abroad, food rotting at the docks, a starving nation, swarms of terrorists and criminals, an NHS collapsing due to no more Polish nurses, no country wanting to trade with us etc etc etc.  None of it true.

It seems that both for the BBC and Phillip Hammond it is a few fatcat businessmen who get to decide what Brexit means and the people who voted in the referendum get disregarded, not to mentioned abused and mocked, in their wake.

The BBC warns us that Brexit is a ‘populist’ spasm that people have been fooled into voting for by ‘fascist’ politicians like Farage who offer simple solutions but this quote from German journalist, Thore Hansen, demonstrates the devious double-think the BBC et al have to employ to believe their own nonsense…

‘If democracy bends so deeply to the economy that people think they no longer have any influence on institutions, and even see their interests as being betrayed, then the populists and fascists will have an easy ride.’

Interesting how he can get two contrasting thoughts and express them as the same thing…the people are betrayed by the elite and people who then come along and point this out and offer the people what they want, as in any democracy, this is ‘populism’ exploited by ‘Fascists’.

An elite oppressing and arrogantly ruling over the masses is bad but ‘populist’ solutions are also bad as anyone who promotes them is a fascist….this is just Hansen, as with the BBC, creating his own definitions to suit his own ideas and values about ‘populism’.  He equates Turkey’s Islamic dictatorship with Brexit and says ‘Donald Trump’s populist rhetoric…revives memories of the darkest times’.  So BBC.

Hansen berates the West for ‘a trend towards political apathy and passivity’.  What?  Brexit, Trump, Corbyn, AFD, Austria, Germany’s failed election?  In contrast the problem, the BBC tells us, is that there is too much political activity and people wanting to have their say and vote…voices the BBC doesn’t want you to hear….unless they are Corbynistas abusng JRM perhaps.

Hansen could as well be a BBC journo, closeted inside the bubble, looking out into the world but not understanding, not wanting to understand, and reporting events and issues in a way that just doesn’t reflect that reality.   Witness the BBC’s surprise that Trump could string together words and ideas in coherent sentences and wasn’t the foam flecked demented fascist that they protray him as as he spoke to Piers Morgan and gave a SOTU speech that was approved of by 75% of viewers.  If they’d been paying attention to his previous interviews and speeches they’d have known that but they didn’t…either from sheer ignorance or deliberate, wilful ignorance and a decision to paint him in an entirely negative way in their reports….as they do with Brexit of course.

Populism the problem?  No, it’s Copulism…the elite screwing the people.
