Midweek Open Thread

 

When Toby Young was forced to quit hs position it was the talk  of the BBC, when Labour’s Munroe Bergdorf buggers orf it’s buried on the politics page and concentrates on his excuses whilst avoiding mentioning the actual comments that were so offensive such as hairy, barren lesbians and gay bashing.

Spot anymore BBC news censorship…list it all here….

    Old Yasmin Alibaba was shouted down a few times this morning on Dateline London. I punched the air a few times with a few yessssssses !!. The rubbish that she spouts is beyond ridiculous – this morning she said she recently went to Africa and India, and was told many times how they envied the united Europe module, you couldn’t make it up, but she was quickly contested by the only chap on the programme who said he must have visited different parts of Africa because not once has that ever been said to him ! Honestly, the woman ought to pair up with June Sarpong – the other nodding dog head who just repeats what others have said. These idiots clearly make a healthy living at doing what ? complaining about the country that’s taken them in, but even more galling that they’ve managed to get themselves on our national tv to tell us so !

    From our own correspondent bias

    Once upon a time – never missed it – now it manages to promote the multicultural message in almost all pieces. Today some beeboid was talking about the ongoing attempts by illegal economic migrants trying to get into the EU Reich because of what that fool merkel decided.

    You could hear that he agreed with their actions and wanted more – unlimited – foreigners coming into the EUreich . I just hope by the time we are out that the million plus now infesting Germany won’t be given ReichEU passports and head where they all want to be – Blighty .

    Nice class bias

    A 21 year old was stabbed in London yesterday .( so it doesn’t matter because they are not a teenager – in albeeb world ) A third rate actress is his aunt . She has flown back from America to visit him . This warranted being on the albeeb national tv and radio news. The aunt is called liz Hurley . I’m guessing she has friends in the al Beeb news department because I cannot work out how that is news.

    Yesterday al Beeb news carried a story that a couple of students had been arrested from shouting racial comments at another student . This , too, is national news. I don’t get it.

      My neighbour has just yelled ‘shut up you f***g bitch’ to my dog.
      I know he had his balls cut off but he does not self identify as a bitch.

      A BBC crew are on their way to cover my neighbour’s arrest for a hate crime including misogyny, transphobia and speciesism. As the dog is black and white racism cannot be added to the crime list.

        Looking at the content of al Beeb news I can only guess that some idiot comes up with the idea of covering such a minor event and no one else has the balls to say “ you’re kidding aren’t you? This is local stuff at best “

        Or else al Beeb is demonstrating that no ‘crime’ is so minor as to not get the whole national treatment .

        PS I’ve reported your neighbour just in case I get accused of doing nothing – in another regime and time that would have been enough to be carted off and “ sent east” as all those Germans who claimed no knowledge of the concentration camps used to say.

        The problem with reporting is volume . The average number of days between teenage stabbing fatalities in the Greater London area at the moment is about 10 days . I dread to think the number of actual killings and serious injuries taking place. My local paper records 4 or 5 serious stabbings a week .

        Al Beeb London news ( shameful for s big city ) barely reports knifings unless there is a novelty issue . Sick

          I have to admit that I borrowed my defence quote, ‘Very, very drunk at the time’, from Paul Whitehouse, The Fast Show. A subtle piss take if you will? Or maybe just a conciliatory joke?
          I found Sonja McLaughlin’s interview with Eddie Jones quite aggressive. I may have misheard the exact sentence she used to fluster Jones but it still stands that the language she used was derogatory.
          I can’t tell if you are being churlish or funny? Either way I don’t really care. I realise your passion for the BBC, I really do, but the reality is that with each passing day the BBC is becoming more and more irrelevant. And if I am wrong and this is not the case? Then let it stand alone in a world where I am not forced to pay for it.

    1. An environmentalist couple (he with the matted-dreadlocks-to-the-middle-of-his back-hairstyle) who lived in a yurt and foraged for their food.

    2. A house which was ‘cost neutral’ because all its energy was provided by its own wind turbine. No mention of where its energy came from when the wind wasn’t blowing.

    3. A visit to Hadrian’s wall and our presenter musing on how a ‘flourishing population’ i.e. Britain under the Roman occupation, came to such an abrupt end – along with the usual BBC gushing admiration for the Roman Empire (civilised, advanced, multi-cultural etc etc). Oh, and no mention at all of why they had to build the effing wall in the first place.

Now the bBC has no problem pointing out attacks near Mosques as symptomatic of the UK being such a racist place, yet here is a man murdered in broad-daylight, with the culprits caught , so anybody have any guesses why the bBC isn’t reporting the full facts on this.

    Anyone following this story about the attempt to hold a meeting in support of freedom of speech at Speakers Corner on Sunday.
    The far left and Treezer’s antifa are trying to stop it.
    From the organizer’s FP page.
    Generation Identity United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland
    Yesterday, Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone were detained by the UK Government and effectively declared political dissidents. The government has decided that Martin’s talk about free speech is too dangerous to be heard. Don’t worry, some of our activists will be reading his speech at Speakers’ Corner at noon tomorrow in his stead. We can’t allow either the far left or the government to silence us!
    #Free Speech talk at Speakers’ Corner:
    https://www.facebook.com/events/1691681177537813/

    Latest news is that these speakers are in detention not allowed to enter the country.
    A US journalist had also been detained and has been told that it is because she planned to interview Tommy Robinson at the event.
    —–
    My guess is that this will blow up into a major incident. Perhaps revealing Treezer’s obedience to the far left.
    Surprising the BBC are cont covering it as a means of attacking the Tory Government. On the other hand it may support my conviction that the BBC are effectively running the Tory Government and does not want to be embarrassed by the arrests and banning of free speech.

    Bad enough that Dr Who has become a woman and that Simon Peter in the new Mary Magdalene film is black. Achilles and Patroclus in Troy: Fall of a City are not just black but players of the pink oboe. Disgusting scene in tonight’s episode which has turned me right off the series.

    I go by Homer’s view of Achilles and there is no suggestion of homosexuality in the Iliad. I hate people reading things into Homer’s epic that are just not there. I have read some defenders of the series say that it’s only mythology and they can make any casting choices they like because these are fictional characters who are open to interpretation and people like me are just scared white racists. Well, no, I just respect literature.

    By the way, the most insightful analysis of Achilles in my opinion is Jonathan Shay’s book, “Achilles in Vietnam”.

        They also shriek the part which fits their narrative then memory hole it when the facts arise which do not fit it, such as the ‘hate crime’ against the homeless Polish man which was anything but. I also suspect that when those till workers trying to claim the same wage as warehouse workers are unsuccessful the story will be memory holed, along with the judge’s reasoning.

        Why not consider Jordan Peterson’s insight on the ‘wage gap’ rather than continue to bleat on as if unequal outcomes were evil even though he has explained why they are not? They never budge an inch. Just as we are expected to swallow that the ROP is wonderful in spite of the mass rape, terrorism et cetera.

    ‘Your user-friendly guide to the latest technology news, issues, gadgets and apps.’

    That’s the mission statement from our Spencer Kelly’s BBC tech show Click.

    As with just about everything the BBC does these days beware the mention of that dread word ‘issues’.

    I feel the sudden urge to re-spell the word : Issshhews

    That’s better.

    Yep, when it’s not global warming, it’s some gender malarky on Click but today as – rather significantly – International Wimmins Day intrudes on Mothers Day our Click goes full-throttle into the supposed rape culture ‘issue’ (some balanced broadcaster might term this a debate) on US campuses and leaps into the camp of the ‘activists’.

    I feel a very dodgy statistic coming on… ‘one in 5 women are victims of a sexual asaualt’ Far be it from the BBC to offer any analysis of this bold stat. What is the degree of ‘assault’, is this some self-selecting survey etc etc… ?

    Now we get Lady Gaga issue-shoehorned into the report with a rather frightening story of a group of supposed victims all getting the same tattoo and forming some cult-like group.

    Cue a secret database where ‘survivors’ can bitch and accuse with impunity (presumably) men à la East Germany.

    Then campus authorities are shamed into taking this stuff seriously.

You know what, I’ll wager with you right now that very soon we will see this sort of thing in the UK for ‘racial’ type abuse thingy victims to anonymously log their complaints without any of the basic constraints of English Common Law and this used to built doubtfully valid statistics with which to bully authorities into further action. Oh wait, I think we have all that already.

    Sport Relief is organised and run mainly by the BBC. Lineker, Ball and all those other marvellous cheerful celebrities who present and perform amazing feats of endurance to raise money for Charradee. Staging events such as a Breakfast Charradee Rave for Sport Relief at 7.00am in Bristol playing very loud music, despite the area being surrounded by hotels. One guest though was not happy at having his sleep disturbed and made his feelings clear. The video sums up the attitude the BBC has to the people of The UK; they are doing what they do, fulfilling their agenda and if you don’t like it then it is you who is the problem, despite the fact that you are one of the many who fund the BBC, you have no voice in the running of it. They will not let the public touch their egos, a public who truth be known, they actually despise.
