Mrs May does a speech about what we can  expect from Brexit on Friday and it’s ‘hard facts for both sides’ says the BBC.  Hmmm…just plain common sense and a realistic view of what the outcome of negotiations might be?  Yeahhh…and anyone with an ounce of common sense and no axe to grind could have told the BBC that a year ago.  Which raises the question as to why the BBC for the last year  has  been giving us a very one-sided and alarmist view of what is happening, not only giving us the Brussels view as the ‘gold standard’ that Britain must aspire to reach but painted an extremely negative view of the British position, expectations and hopes…one example is the EU’s constant mocking of British negotiations as ‘cherry-picking’ not to mention the sneering ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it’….both of which the BBC adopted as their starting point when discussing the British approach…which the BBC portrayed as chaotic, weak and wildly over-expectant.   The BBC seemed to prefer we just rolled over and accepted whatever the EU could dream up to humiliate us.  Perhaps if the BBC spent less time pandering to EU fanatical Remainders and spreading EU propaganda we could have had a realistic view of Brexit from the start from our national broadcaster which would have allowed May to establish her position months ago, rein in the Remainder pro-EU ‘stay-behind’ subversives and present a united, strong and coherent position in negotiations…instead of which the BBC has constantly fed the Remainder’s dream of a second referendum and the reversal of Brexit which has also given the EU the idea that this might happen and therefore they do not need to negotiate seriously.   Thanks BBC for the backstabbing.

    Political Correctness going nuts

    Aussie airline @Qantas tells staff not to “manterrupt” (men interrupting women).

    Gives list of “gender-inappropriate” words to avoid – including “guys”, “mum & dad”

    And don’t use “European settlement” – use “invasion” instead

      I believe the ‘Q’ in Qantas stands for ‘Queensland’, (not Queer, though that can’t be long), and as such is colonial in origin.

      They should do the right thing and ground the whole of their fleet until such time as the Aboriginal Australians get around to developing powered flight.

      I wonder what the approved term is for the non-British who now consider Australia their home?

      As an aside it used to be said, (by the ‘colonials’), that they were the ones who had the ‘get-up-and-go’ to open up and develop these ‘new lands’, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, countries populated by ‘real men’! Now they all appear to be leading the retreat into wimpdom, with us following closely behind.

      Nature, they say, abhors a vacuum. If we won’t defend our culture there are six billion plus out there that are quite willing to replace it with their own and not being interupted or called ‘love’ or ‘honey’ will be the least of the sheilas’ worries.

      The carrier’s 30,000 employees have been instructed that they should consider referring to Britain’s historical role as “colonisation”, “occupation” or “invasion”.

      Do they get instructions on how to handle the Ottoman Empire and the Mongolian Empire or what about the Barbary War ….

      . . .

      The First Barbary War (1801–1805), also known as the Tripolitanian War and the Barbary Coast War, was the first of two Barbary Wars, in which the United States and Sweden fought against the four North African states known collectively as the “Barbary States”. Three of these were nominal provinces of the Ottoman Empire, but in practice autonomous: Tripoli, Algiers, and Tunis. The fourth was the independent Sultanate of Morocco.[4]

    My brother texts from the States noting that he didn’t watch the Oscars saying that it was the “unspeakable” handing out awards to the “unwatchable”. Since bums on seats fell nearly 7 per cent last year at the American box office, he clearly has a point. And on the night the luvviefest recorded one of its lowest tv audiences ever.

    Gary Oldman won best actor for impersonating Churchill. One would have thought this was within the range of any first year drama student. Any more of this and we shall be dusting down that marvellous quote about the late Sir Donald Sindon: “A ham so rare it can’t be cured”.

      ‘…by Nurses who have to go to food banks…’

      Sounds like the kind of propaganda I’d hear on the BBC.

      Must be a hell of a lot of food banks, not just for nurses….

      Fully qualified nurses start on salaries of £22,128 rising to £28,746 on Band 5 of the NHS Agenda for Change Pay Rates. Salaries in London attract a high-cost area supplement.
      With experience, in positions such as nurse team leader on Band 6, salaries progress to £26,565 to £35,577.
      At more senior levels such as nurse advanced, modern matron and nurse consultant (Bands 7 to 8c) salaries range from £31,696 to £69,168.

      https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/adult-nurse

      Plus their average pay rise in 2016-17 was 3.3%, not the 1% public sector pay limit the BBC keep propagandising, as they are on incremental scales.

    BBC Trending the undercover anti-Nazi ..the Swedish guy
    I listened to the prog and it’s obvious those BBC staff and Hate not Hope activists are working close and are interchangeable.
    In the prog the guys says
    “I went to a pro Brexit meeting to meet the head of the London Forum, but I’ve forgotten who the speaker was”
    Charlotttesville “Yeh it was scary I was inside the park with the far right the police revoked the permit., they had guns and many of the Far-right rally were armed and I thought wow I am with these nutters”
    (but isn’t that the point ..there weren’t any far-right using their guns to attack people)
    I was maced by an antifa AFTER the police were walking the far-right miles to another park”
    ” I happened to see the far-right TERRORIST drive at the crowd as I walked out to get lunch ..after I’d stopped being undercover.

    Obviously if one conservative protester making a spontaneous decision to drive at an Antifa crowd is a terrible thing, but if we take that out , then his whole year story is pretty empty.
    The dead giveaway is that there was lots of tone and very few SPECIFICS
    ..nothing like “One day I saw them beat up this guy, then this guy, then set fire to this, this one guy was a paedophile etc.
    ..the next day I saw this violence … ”

    Besides lack of specifics, #2 the other giveaway is COMPLEXITY DENIAL, in this case where he tries to portray non-lefty people as “white supremacists”, just the same as some other nutter would portray ALL Muslims as terrorists.
    He did at one point say ‘oh they weren’t all the same , but he didn’t really emphasise the full breadth, of from someone concerned about the due process of tearing down historic statues to the person that truly is a white supremacist.

    Yet another case where men who have been accused of rape and reached court have had the case thrown out. In this case because one of the ‘victims’ admitted she had never even met one of the ‘rapists’.

      Ah yes. Orgreave. Which was a Steel site to/from which coal was moved. The Steel unions did not want to have their premises closed down by lack of coal and their members left with no work. They did not support the NUM strike, called of course without a ballot and neither supported by selected parts of the colliery network, such as Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. None of which is ever mentioned.
      Because of course the BBC only see these matters through their misty eyed socialist eyes. For most of us, breaking union power and setting the public free from the constant blackmail of the public sector unions was one of Maggie’s great achievements, something the lunatics in the Jezza and Mcdonnell supporters club want to reverse, and boy, oh boy, would we all pay the price.

            What happened was the headgear of those pits were torn down as soon as possible. A recent example is Killingley Colliery, Britain’s last deep mine, where decades of coal reserves remained, where the main shaft was sealed and the headgear removed.

    ‘Unacceptable’ legal delays in Scotland child abuse scandal investigation
    MORE than 100 victims of an ethnic minority child grooming gang in Scotland have faced “unacceptable” delays in bringing their abusers to justice.Although detectives have reported 27 suspects to the Crown Office, only one man has been named as part of the massive investigation into child sexual exploitation which ended more than two years ago.

    Some of the victims were as young as 10 and all of them were vulnerable young girls, with many of them living in care homes in and around Glasgow.

    Failed Afghan asylum seeker Javaid Akhond is the only named individual to face justice as a result of Operation Dash. He was 20 when he was sentenced to six years in prison in 2014 for the rape and sexual abuse of children as young as 12.

    Following repeated requests to Police Scotland the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), this newspaper has learned there have four convictions in total.

    Why did they get it so wrong? It’s unacceptable.

Both are good-and , following others here- would recommend Nick Cohens fine takedown of the craven Left in the face of Islamic threats to Left wing Muslims who won`t take the whole lot of Sharia under force or threat.
    The refusals of Corbyn and his monkeys to speak are worth a listen, as are the excuses by the Southern Law Poverty Action Group -total bullies and hypocrites, and Cohen knows it. And says so.

    Prick Robinson interviewing Euroloon Pascal Lamy on Toady this morning about Hammond’s upcoming speech in which our Phil will say that an FTA should cover financial services. Prick Robinson suggests for the first time that the failed EU/US Treaty had intended to cover FS at the request of the EU and so it must be doable.
    Presumably Prick Robinson and Al Beeb have become aware of this only because our Phil is saying it in his speech today. I’ve known of it and posted about for years and so can only assume Al Beeb haven’t done it for their normal reason of being anti-British/Brexit.

      Fine if they don’t come here and cause multiple deaths when drunk at the wheel. I don’t suppose Germany would give them residence and benefits or even recognise their qualifications to work their, rather than to reside there. In Germany they only recognise their own technical qualifications.

        It will be interesting to see who one of the highly Remoaner sections of the country want to let in – answer must be Everyone…because controlled obviously isn’t valid.

        One of guest had it right – start training UK people and stop just importing cheap workers e.g. drivers – the Government and Industry knows where the shortages are – so how about focusing funds on proper training with measured outcomes – maybe a bit from the foreign aid budget.

            Yes, Migration Watch has proven to be the only organisation that has put a figure on how much it costs the UK taxpayer to fund the migration scam. Over £16 BILLION a year on the last count according to MW. Problem is as I see it, any benefit from EU workers paying their way is completely offset by the non-working muslim community and now, increasingly, Romanian gypsys’s who arrive in their droves.

    Mark Steyn tells it as it is again, (read it and weep Mark Mardell), explaining Dunkirk to the Americans.

    They won the war, and lost their country anyway. Britain’s new invaders arrive at Dover, and Heathrow and Gatwick, every day of the week, annexing territory and incubating therein the men who run you down on London bridges, and stab you in restaurants, and blow you up at pop concerts, and decapitate you in the streets. A little after mid-century, there’ll still be bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover, but the “white British” – ie, the men and women seen in this film – will be a minority in their own islands. Watching Nolan’s Dunkirk, you don’t get, as Conrad Black says, much sense of why the British Expeditionary Force was on the run, but you do a get a sense of how a people who share the same assumptions will share the burdens and sacrifices, too. In a lost Britain, it will not be like that again.

    There is an article in today’s Telegraph Business section about the views of key figures in both the Italian 5 Star movement and the League party and their attitudes towards Brexit and the EU. One , or both, of these parties is certain to lead any new Italian Government no matter how much Brussels tries to fix things.

    The only possible way Brussels could avoid this would be to have the Italian President , who is a member of the EU elite, declare that no stable government can be formed and the elections will have to be rerun in 6 months time, meanwhile the existing leftist pro EU government stays in power. This scenario obviously buys Brussels time and therefore cannot be ruled out but will make Italians even more anti EU.

    The views of the two main parties are , as you would expect, very supportive of Brexit and strongly in favour of a mutually beneficial trade deal and no punishment beating of the UK. So you can see Brussels will be moving heaven and earth to stop a government being formed which had these views. Italy could be the focal point around which Brexit neutral countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden , Poland etc coalesce and force Brussels to abandon their ideological EU view of Brexit and to adopt a pragmatic approach. Italy may yet be the saviour of Brexit.

George wasn’t happy that we were rolling out the red carpet for the CP, who, as the the bint admitted, was still torturing and crucifying those who displeased him, yet we would not allow a state visit for Trump to go ahead. George also accused the CP of promoting and exporting a vile and distorted version of the peaceful religion and funding mosques and madrassas which continue the teaching. The Saudi bint went on to say that the CP had made great strides in allowing freedoms in the kingdom, such as wimmin being allowed to drive, she was actually being given a free Mustang! Pity it was spoiled somewhat when she said that she could only drive it when accompanied by a male “guardian”.

    A bit more room for the wimmins football has just been found as the bBbc have lost coverage of the Guinness Pro 14 rugby from next season.

    Anybody who wants to watch Ulster, Cardiff Blues, Glasgow Warriors, Dragons, Ospreys – you get the picture, all decent provincial club rugby union from Scotland, Wales or Ireland – will now have to watch it on a subscription channel. English club rugby in the Aviva is on BT, any other club rugby of any interest is on Sky.

    Premier Sports, based in Luxembourg, will now charge a tenner a month for these matches. So no rugby union, apart from half of the internationals, on the bBbc. I think even the wimmins is on Sky.

    Well it’s a bit worried that Muslims in Yemen are being inconvenienced, but it’s not Saudi’s fault you understand no no it’s all the fault of the nasty white people who sold them the weapons in the first place especially the hated fatcher who clinched the Al Yammamah deal.
