Anna Foster on 5Live admitted the truth about the ‘crisis’ concerning the Northern Ireland border…it’s all political…it is perfectly possible to have a ‘frictionless’, ‘invisible’ border…the only thing stopping it is the EU’s land grab, it’s attempt to annex Northern Ireland interfering with British internal politics. Her guest was Lars Karlsson [a former director of the inter-governmental World Customs Organisation] who has just done a report for the EU stating as much…and yet you wouldn’t know from the rest of the BBC’s reporting….the flagship Today show telling us that Boris Johnson ‘wasn’t right in the head’ because he proposed using electronic systems to monitor the border…as done in many countries….including our own already. The original interview when he suggested this, again on Today with the hopeless and overpaid Mishal Husain, was the catalyst for the abuse that Boris received as Husain ridiculed him for comparing, or so she suggested, two London boroughs with the situation in NI…except of course he wasn’t comparing the political situation merely using it as an illustration of how the technology can work…as proved by Lars Karlsson…an expert unlike Husain or Sarah Montague…Montague who wanted to know if we ‘should be leaving the EU?’…Brexit being so terrible eh? The BBC is blatant and arrogant in its attempts to create the narrative that Brexit can be reversed…a very dangerous idea I’d suggest…along with the one that suggests that if the Irish government doesn’t like the border solution it can mobilise the IRA which can dig up all those weapons it handed over during the ‘peace process’ [never mind the hundreds of bomb threats each year]…lol.
Spot any more bias…list it here…
BBC code: “divisive” means the right are doing well.
Ha ha. I guess it will be a controversial election result.
“some say”, Some sort of grand coalition formed to get Merkel a fourth term ?
Apparently two-thirds of the SPD membership voted for their party to carry on with the Groko. At the same time the SPD support fell to 16% in an Emnid poll. Yet the SPD now have the finance and foreign ministries, i. a. Amazing (or not surprising at all?) what Merkel happily parted with to stay in power herself….

Sky Vote: Who is Britain’s most influential woman? (and this appears to be for all time, not just living or in 21st century as jane Austen and Florence Nightingale are listed.
Online voting, so not open to political parties and groups pushing their own candidates at all! (hence why Radio 4 gave up allowing political figures into the man/woman of the year).
At present number one is Nicola Sturgeon. Number 3 is Mhairi Black MP. Who on earth could have organised themselves into voting I wonder.
Thatcher is in at 5, Theresa May at 13, Emma Watson at 18 (!!!!!! -wtf, why?), Gina Miller at 26, Diane Abbott at 39 and Shami Chakrabarti at 73.
Jo Cox
Who?
Cheddar Woman 🙂
I would vote for
Mary Seacole (you know the one – she saved the English army in the Crimea by selling them organic egg sarnies)
Susannah Reid (she gave that nasty waycist Tommy Robinson a hard stare when Piers Mouthorgan was was shouting at Tommy)
Hatty Harmon – for standing up for PIE rights back in her NCCL days and just generally proving that she she can talk more bollocks than most men.
I just dont who to vote for – – decisions, decisions , decisions
Oh I forgot Jeremy whine – I am sure she isnt too short of the old estrogen either and is good in the crying stakes.
Whats a chap to do?
Are men also eligible to be entered into this competition?
In today’s equalities and transgender etc world, surely there must be some kind of ‘ist or ‘ism if men (and all the other genders of course) are not allowed to compete.
My vote for the most influential woman is Winston Churchill.
I see you have all overlooked Eddie Izzard, the one person who can ensure a Labour defeat at any election.
“Who is Britain’s most influential woman?”
WTF isn’t that patronising to women, as well as sexist?
.. The first thing EQUALITIES people do is divide by sex/race etc.
..and then they want to rank them … F off
It isn’t equality & it isn’t news
Plenty of people given the circumstances put in the work and do something, and get well known. Others don’t get well known, but that doesn’t mean they are second class people.
Finally the Scots voters do seem to have owned that poll,
Sturgeon 20K, The SNP girl MP 7.2K, Mrs Thatch 4.6K, JK Rowling 1.2K
Look at the bottom of the list ..didn’t they just award 46 votes to everyone at the beginning ?
TV-land people rig everything.
The bBC, President Trump and half the story:
President Trump mocks Jared Kushner at annual dinner
US President Donald Trump joked about White House “chaos” and poked fun at his aides and wife in a light-hearted speech at an annual dinner on Saturday. “Nobody does self-deprecating humour better than I do,” he told politicians and journalists in Washington DC. Mr Trump joked about his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who has reportedly had his security clearance downgraded. “We were late tonight because Jared could not get through security,” the president said. In wide-ranging remarks at the Gridiron Dinner, he took aim at a number of targets including Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Mr Trump has said that he would never have appointed Mr Sessions if he had known he was going to recuse himself from leading the investigation into possible Trump ties to Russia. “I offered him a ride over and he recused himself. What are you going to do?” the president joked.
Reading the above, do you get the impression that President Trump is a arrogant bastard who doesn’t have a soul, by taking the piss out of others at a formal dinner, yet the one thing the bBC omitted from the above is what the Gridiron Club Dinner is all about:
“Created in 1885, the Gridiron Club sponsors an annual dinner featuring skits and songs seeking to make fun of politicians from both parties, particularly the sitting president. Like predecessors who have attended the dinner, Trump also got to speak and try his hand at making fun of the press and other adversaries.”
Funny how the bBC forgot to mention that as well as this snippet as reported by Reuters:
At joke-filled dinner, Trump suggests U.S. will meet with North Korea
Funny how the bBC can be so forgetful , especially when it has no problem remembering slavery, The British Empire, or anything which can place white society in a negative light.
The bBC, its fake news agenda which puts iran,China and ISIS in the shade.
Maybe Jr. could run another poll?
Meanwhile, over at the old sexism row…
Carrie Gracie?
Wow! She’s still around? I was wondering the other day what had happened to her.
I thought she had perhaps turned her FakeResignation into a RealOne.
Poor old Jonny Dymond had to do a whole week of TWatO all on his own while Mardell was eating his way, sorry, trotting his way around Italy at the Licence Fee payers’ expense. Apparently trying to dish the dirt on as many countries and people as possible, while ostensibly covering the Italian Election, no doubt to avoid being sent on another round the USA trip. Had too many beefburgers then, Mark?
Martha must be away ski-ing.
Anybody else know a job where you can walk out and resign one day-then slag off your ex-bosses in the Commons for some inquiry-and then sit behind a desk and report it all without leaving the building?
What a world they live in? And we`re paying too.
I woke up this morning with an old 70s song, Trees, by Canadian band Rush in my head. Great lyrics by the drummer Neil Peart (inspired by Ayn Rand).
Trees:-
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they’re quite convinced they’re right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream ‘oppression!’
And the oaks, just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
‘The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw.
The bBC has knocked yet another article about doing the right thing in taking in yet more people from across the water in Calais. Apparently pro EU Lib dem MP Norman Lamb wants to relocate people from a soverign European country which has better standards of living and human rights and bring them across to the racist UK:
I did love this snippet from his short film clip:
Of course we all know how these so called childen demonstrate their gratitude

Radio5 Live now : Abuse in Charity Shops FB intro
examples :
#1 paedophile worked in charity shop AFTER jail
#2 a rape was covered up etc.
#3 Limited data given, adds up to one report each week over last 5 years, many charities wouldn’t give data
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09tgpkc
– 13 year old learning difficulties girl was groomed & raped by manager of charity shop
he’s now jailed.
not exactly another Rotherham though
Switched to talking about international aid events
… Raped charity worker, was offered compensation, but on condition of signing non-disclosure agreement, a thing not normally requested work/rape cases.
The lawyer said it was , cos the charity was afraid of losing funding.
Second lawyer said it’s no an exception in charity sector ..cos they think they are above normal law.
Stew, and did you notice how quickly they gt rid of the second lawyer when he wasm’t sticking to the beeb’s script.
No, I checked after the female lawyer
we get a male prof saying the coverup goes back as far as Boutros Boutros-Ghali ex head on UN 10 years ago
Then next voice is someone who resigned from Charity Commn Safeguarding in 2010 he again said that weakness were widespread and too the top. He was cut off at minute 57, but it was the end of the show.
Whilst we froze in the north, and were told by the BBC not to even venture out, it was good to see that the country’s resources were being wisely used.

There’s a huge march taking place in London for gender equality this weekend
And guess who is attending the march? None other than the Emir of London, the diminutive hypocrite. Having a muslim at an event for women’s rights is akin to Hitler going to Yom Kippur. Women are equal but they can’t pray in a mosque. Hmmn, as I’ve said a thousand times with liberal values, hypocrisy is never far away. Have a good weekend folks.
This is the Woman’s Rights man who decides whether his grownup daughters can use Uber ?

Taffman as I am sure we both know this is always the 1st can to be kicked down the road. Why spend a thousand pounds deporting someone who is not meant to be here when we can spend hundreds of thousands of pounds housing that same person and then housing all of his relatives when they also fancy a change of scene.
Then the next government can get the negative press from the Guardian and the BBC for moving these freeloaders on. – Except they never do.
As we all know the classical British landscape of mountains, hills, rivers and forests looks much better covered in red brick buildings and maybe even a mosque (if we are lucky). We are governed by cowards and charlatans who seem to posses no more soul than a piece of used bog role – I must say I am really starting to hate these bastards!
Interesting thought. Trump’s proposed tariff (BBC – boo, hiss) on imported (principally German) cars means that unless the EU compromises with the UK on mutual tariffs the accumulative effect on the EU car industry will be massive. Now there’s a bargaining chip that only an idiot wouldn’t take full advantage of. Mrs May….?
And of course, with a trade agreement with the US we may be able to negotiate a much lower tariff for UK-produced cars. Good reason for the Volkswagen and Peugeot groups to perhaps invest in factories here? Despite Brexit!
popeye
I fear we are going to miss out on the benefits of a US trade deal, as May has her eyes on a close relationship, amounting to remain, with a political entity that will embrace the Middle East and Parts of North Africa. May cannot resist those masculine Moslems

Ben Brown is anchor for BBC News Channel today. He brings us a report on the US versus EU trade spat but in true BBC style neither Trump nor Junker are allowed to speak in their own words but are instead voiced over by BBC know-it-alls. Surely a 24 hour news channel has the time and space to allow our democratically elected (or not, in Junker’s case) to speak?
Oddly, the UK’s position post-Brexit is defined by our Ben as a “complication” rather than a potential advantage. But what am I thinking, every issue about Brexit is a problem for the miserablist blindly pro-Brussels BBC.
Then it’s over to “hundreds” gathering in Westminster for some women’s march for something or other. Our BBC gal on the spot finds a chap well versed in the tough job of speaking the words of others and getting remarkably well paid for it (feeling guilty?) actor Michael Sheen to happily signal his virtue.
The entire package is presented not as news but as advocacy for the cause (whatever that is supposed to be?). The word ‘equality’ was banded about a lot without any definition or policy implication. Of course no comment or motive from this lot is questioned by our supposedly balanced impartial BBC.
BBC News Channel: An endless loop of us asking ourselves what we think and us interpreting what people have said and done from our point of view, telling you lot out there what we want you to think and do.
Good point
BBC don’t do news. They do ADVOCACY,
Aforesaid Ben Brown is another of those miraculous BBC presenters whose hair is growing younger as he enters late middle age !
Just been listening to renews at one . They were desperately trying to discredit Italian election only because their favorite is properly going to lose and Berlusconi ‘s man has a good chance of winning. Comparing him with Donald Trump (only he didn’t give him the courtesy of using his first name) BBC idiots have such bad manners. As I listened it took me back a few years to the spoof comedy show with Stephen Ma ngam I think he played Tony Blair and was called Looking for Tony Blair (that was when comedy was funny) I remember Tony Blair character in a call box phoning Mr Berlusconi for help and he said he couldn’t help and in the background was music women laughing and everyone having a good time. I remember my son and I laughing so much. Tony Blair never found anyone to help him. Does anyone here remembers it ?
Hold on to your hats everyone the 2018 Oscars are almost here.

And my prediction this year it will be all about wimmin.
Brave wimmin, wimmin who have been put in the corner, preyed on , abused, forced to keep silent and not paid the same as their male counterparts.
It certainly wont be about (actresses who sucked up to notorious directors) in an industry that was famous for its casting couch. It wont be about self proclaimed feminist actresses who mostly kept silent about dark side of Hollywood who only ventured out to complain about these abuses when everyone else had. It wont be about male actors who were more than happy to use their influence to procure sex but suddenly become ardent feminists when the virtue signalling bandwagon rolls by. And it certainly wont be about an industry inhabited by greedy, self obsessed egotists who think that their opinion really does matter.
If you want an antidote to this shite can I recommend you click on the link below. I saw it last night and it really does put things into perspective. And reminds us that England was not always inhabited by lazy, weak whining crybabies. And what a “strong” woman really is.
A truly great lady.
She died recently, and Last Word told us a little bit about her. One of our won, simply don`t make them like her any more. Her programme even featured Vaughan Williams “The Lark Ascending” as the theme tune.
Could anybody even see the BBC using that peerless bit of British music as a theme tune these days? Course not-they hate Britain. Now we hate them.
Her funeral service was held in the appallingly White yet charming town of Barnard Castle.

Explosions in London ‘not thought to be terror-related’.
However, ‘Police said it was too early to be able to establish the cause of the blast.’
In other words they know nothing about it yet, but that’s not preventing them stating it’s not thought to be terror related. (It probably isn’t, but how quick they are to assert that. Almost as if they’d been told to from on high.)
Is that the same Police and other authorities who asserted for years that Rotherham and Rochdale etc a) weren’t happening at all and b) later, that there was no connection with ethnicity or religion? (see vid)
And we’re to believe them?
Get this, morons: you don’t need a note signed personally by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and witnessed by a firm of City notaries for it to be terrorism.

How many reporters does the BBC have?
popeye
Only maxi it seems ?
The default ‘not thought to be terror-related’ is now an instant police PR response to any explosion, ‘runaway’ vehicles incident, or madman running amok with a knife.
It’s about as superfluous as ‘Past performance of an investment is no guide to its performance in the future’. Now that the left have the police and armed forces bent to their will I really don’t have much hope for the country.
Achieving some sort of brexit will only be a tiny step forward, the forces of anti common-sense will never stop until they have effectively ruined the country for its native inhabitants.
Most people at the top of public (and some private) sector jobs should not be in those jobs at all, and would be better employed breaking rocks in a chain gang.
Not terror related. I think the elites have discovered that it is possible to keep a secret when once it was believed that someone sooner or later would tell.
Hence, Thomas Mair and his far right links and peculiar trial, the number of car rammings and rapes which disappear from the news.
So it appears GWF.
But , as Mosley knows-truth will seep out, and we know now what they`re up to as a class.
Their desperation and willingness to slither and dissemble at all costs to their future credibilty tells me that they know they`re rumbled. Double or Quits, clear the streets and lock it all down.
Won`t happen. We know them, and there will have to be payback. Karma insists on this.
Mr Norfolk does deserve some reward outside his profession but won’t get it.
I used to believe that the truth will ‘out’ but there is such an industrial desire to suppress what some people think other (senior) people don’t want to hear or know.

Good to see the BBC gets its priorities right.
Saturday evening national news:-
First priority isolated villages cut off from shops (except camera crews and reporters can get there),
Second priority a row about TV referees in football improving decision making using technology,
Third priority vastly improved cancer diagnosis using technology.
Sorry you might be dying of cancer but cheer up, your favourite football team might not be wrongly awarded a goal.
Given all that snow,I was rather hoping that we`d have had a night off from Lineker and his football zoo team.
But no-seems some games were still on.
That`ll be the undersoil heating will it?
Couldn`t we hand our pitches over to the homeless to keep them warm at the moment? Stop playing daft games that can wait until the weather perks up?
Those showers and posh restaurants would keep the homeless off the streets and with a good meal too.
Coming to think of it, couldn`t we hand them all over to the migrants so we know where they are and the rest of us can get our houses, schools and surgeries back?
That would deal with Lineker and his BBC sports jocks who`d rather watch their footy, whilst we can cope with the flotsam thrown up by him and his ilk.
Bet you that the migration problem would shrivel quickly if all their silly sport was stopped until they got it sorted.
Also-what kind of dumbcluck would VOLUNTEER to clear a rugby pitch of snow? Haven`t they got REAL problems to help with?
Nuts.
The Sunday Times has an article about another sex scandal at a charity called “Mesmac” based in Leeds.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/abuse-survivors-charity-yorkshire-mesmac-hit-by-sex-scandal-xbqb3hqbv
Mesmac stands for “Men who Enjoy Sex with Men, Action in the Community”.
It has received more than £5 million from Government, Councils and the Police.
One of it’s trustees was jailed for having sex with a 15 yr old boy.
It encourages sexual health whilst having sex in public sex environments such as parks and lavatories.
One of it’s workers openly stated that vulnerable people it was supposedly helping could ask him for anal sex if they wanted.
It turns out that the charity explicitly allowed it’s staff to have sex with people it met through work, many of them young and vulnerable.
Sex with children was not allowed though, so nothing to worry about.
Third
It kind of supports my view about the Charity Commission – worthless at any level in supervising or controlling trustees and whole charities . – a sector deeply in need of change .
No politician will touch it as so many charities have money and influence – as well as charities being a vehicle to an oh so wanted peerage for beeboids and or rich people …
I’ve been searching for the charity that receives £5 million from the taxpayer to promote heterosexual men having sex with women in parks and lavatories but don’t seem to be having much success.
As with Kids’ Co, I would like a bit of media investigation back down the approval and application chain.
And a few careers made an example of in Government, Local Government and Police.
The Charity Commission sounds as if it makes OFCOM look competent.
Wouldn`t it be nice if Brendan Cox and Lily Allen were to hook up, possibly for a charity item on Red Nose Day?
Red faces,smacked arses might not be the thing-but it would make things easier , re having our hypocites in the same safe space-where they can`t do any damage( Brendan to be specific)

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/culture/civilisations-how-do-we-look-the-eye-of-faith-by-mary-beard-review-7w2v20f2r
The Times questions the BBC certainties of Mary Beard and her episodes of Civilization as written in her book.
“Mary Beard’s view of civilisation is hampered by political correctness”
Her decision to defend Muslims for their barbaric destruction of beautiful ancient art works, eg the Buddhas of Bamiyan by the Taliban, or of Roman remains at Palmyra by Isis, is mercilessly destroyed. Apparently, she feels that this “was not vandalism but “targeted, even thoughtful” destruction.”
The BBC/Guardian left has lost all sense of reason and value. Muslims cannot be condemned even if they rape and torture 1550 children in Rotherham or if they destroy the world’s great arts.
What the hell does Mary Beard and the BBC think future generations will make of this?
الله سب سے بڑا ہے
Excellent Jim
Jim – careful with the typos
The fact that she evidently believes what she put in that book, should have prevented her from writing and presenting, presumably highly remunerative, history programmes for al Beebus.
It is quite appalling to have someone in a prominent position, who explains away or even excuses the destruction of ancient works or art; religious artefacts or rare architectural gems for reason of religion.
I think it was on this site recently, that someone referenced “Wilt” and Tom Sharpe; this fetid gargoyle truly resembles a caricature drawn from the pages of his novels.
Albeeb getting into its annual orgasm over the oscars – it must be the thought of a collective jolly for the beeboids – despite Sky holding the broadcast rights using private cash . I particularly enjoy the instant jingoism of British Oscar candidates, winners , losers when al Beeb spends 99% of the time demeaning the country and how things are so much better in Europe / Asia – any where else but here in Blighty.
I hope the BBC covers the person who is trolling the shit out of the oscars. These posts are attracting attention

Three billboards – yeah – if I was so inclined I’d count the number of anti trump jokes per minute versus the number of Clinton jokes in the smugathon.
Al Beeb is highlighting amusing false billboards where white actors have been replaced by black ones – for some reason I don’t understand .al Beeb does not suggest it is racist or in anyway bad .
I was trying to think what the reaction would be if black actors were whited out . Racist I guess.
Someone has posted the following to Going Postal. I have no reason to believe it is untrue and it absolutely encapsulates what we are up against – an open and enthusiastic admission that the BBC uses its entertainment output for propaganda purposes:
“The role of Doctor Who was previously offered to a black actor, executive producer Steven Moffat has revealed.
:
Moffat said the show had “no excuse” not to feature a more diverse cast, adding it would be “amazing” for it to have two non-white lead actors.
:
“We decided that the new companion was going to be non-white, and that was an absolute decision, because we need to do better on that. We just have to,” Moffat said.
:
“We’ve kind of got to tell a lie. We’ll go back into history and there will be black people where, historically, there wouldn’t have been, and we won’t dwell on that.
“We’ll say, ‘To hell with it, this is the imaginary, better version of the world. By believing in it, we’ll summon it forth’.”
G , it’s as bad as some of the theatre productions I’ve seen with black people playing white roles as well as women actors playing male parts . Kills the drama – just seems like a tokenism exhibition of false morality and usurping culture .
Fedup,
Watching Troy and have learned that Achilles was a black man.
Zeus a black god.
So many Africans in Greece and Turkey in those days.
A bit like now I suppose.
You can tell who the goodies are, they all have something in common.
Of course, the marriage wrecker Paris and the adulteress Helen are both white.
Emmanuel,
I really don’t get it – is it pure virtue signalling ( whatever that it) – directors doing casting people in roles they are physically not made for ? I could never believe in a white female actor playing Martin Luther king .
Seems like signs of some sort of hysteria – the same illness which thinks that the world / society will improve by have organisations which ‘exactly’ reflects their society – it negates individuality and just supports tokenism .
Apologies – heavy sentences- I know I’m a disgrace maxi
Are actors stupid? I’ve just read on the BBC website that Michael Sheen would take a pay cut if it meant being paid the same as an actress. Doesn’t his agent negotiate his pay and gets as much as he can for him on the basis of how big a star he is at the time? There is no such thing in the film industry as “doing the same work”, as far as actors are concerned. And if he ever works with an actress who is a bigger star than he is, is he going to demand she takes a pay cut in the interests of equality? While your name commands a big fee, you should take the money and run, Michael. The day will come when you’re a has-been and you can’t even get a job as a spear-carrier.

Italian election –

“Cluster munitions are prohibited for those nations that ratify the Convention on Cluster Munitions, adopted in Dublin, Ireland in May 2008. The Convention entered into force and became binding international law upon ratifying states on 1 August 2010, six months after being ratified by 30 states.[Wicki] As of 1 October 2015, a total of 118 states have joined the Convention, as 98 States parties and 20 Signatories” BBc news this afternoon. Reporter” I assume reporting from far away informs us the Syrian Government is using “illegal” cluster bombs. Except Syria like Russia and America never signed up for the convention. Still far easier to imply Syria are using “illegal” weapons.
I’d gone online to check on the Italian elections, Trump’s meeting with the NRA and to find out about the Romford explosion, but sod that — the hot news on the homepage is Taylor-Dior Rumble’s challenging and thought-provoking investigative report six stories about black women’s hair.
I learnt that “Salons are safe spaces for black women” and (for one woman at least) “My hair has always been political”. Next up is a shamelessly agenda-driven 60 second promo piece on twin deaf Eritrean models working to reduce the stigma of disabled people in the fashion industry.
Isn’t it time the beeb dispensed with a ‘News’ tab; and simply posted all of their output under one long page called ‘assorted bilge’? Surely a popular move, as it would save money which could be used to reduce the licence fee.
Swiss vote to keep TV Licence, reports BBC
‘Supporters of keeping the fee maintain it is essential to a small country like Switzerland, with population of just 8.4 million, to have a national broadcaster which reflects its cultural and linguistic diversity.’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-43277856
Perhaps this victory for diversity will inspire the BBC to order its UK Government to have a referendum.
We know how the BBC just love and respect them
And the 2018 Oscar for Best Picture goes to. A film staring a BME or a women. This selection reflects not on the quality of the film or the commercial potential but merely reflects “todays” Just cause. You may have passed scantily clad women pouting themselves on the red carpet looking to use there sexuality as there income. This , in this instance is acceptable. let it be known that we, the left with virtual signalling warriors will let you know when women using there sexuality for gain is acceptable. Moving on to BME representation, this is our second good cause. After the roaring success of Moonlight last year we are again looking at sponsoring further BME third rate “message” films. Gone are the days when climate change was discussed and even longer ago people with disabilities where paraded among us we have moved on all that is behind us. So this year’s Oscar will be BME female dominated because it’s what we want. So here it is The 2018 Oscar for Best Picture (soon to be available without a security tag in Morrisons) a pile of left wing virtue signalling bollocks…..now let’s knock Trump and celebrate this year’s worthy cause equality and diversity.
I just found a new classification LGBTQI… and I can’t even guess what that is – unless me Alfa bet is mixed up…
Fedup2 I think the Q is for queer and the I is intersex…whatever that may be? The ‘I’ could be better represented as indecisive, indifferent or just plain old idiotic.
On Sky right now, Save Me, a dreary drama with so many pauses between speeches you wonder if the picture is frozen. Essentially it is a whodunnit: who took the teenage girl. Well, in a cast shouting diversity, there are only 2 white male protagonists, so it must be one of them. Surely it can’t be any of the black guys or the white transgendered guy.
The detective is a black female – of course.
Now I watch a lot of Netflix drama, with loads of black actors, and I never feel like I am being slapped across the face with a wet Guardian.
The BBC disease has spread to Sky. I now think it is incurable in the UK.
