‘Any Questions’ fielded the editor of the online ‘news site’ The Canary Kerry-Anne Mendoza without telling us it is essentially a mouthpiece for Corbyn…not a ‘news site’ at all is it?, good of the BBC to give it a platform…though maybe not as what we got was childish, ignorant, partisan nonsense from the editor…a bit of insight into what you could expect from The Canary itself?
Interesting to hear Dimbleby describe the audience as ‘self-selecting’…always thought they were carefully and rigorously vetted and selected for impartiality and to provide a good balance that represented the full spectrum of political viewpoints from across the country….Dimbleby also suggested that most of the audience would like to eat less meat….is that because he ran a poll or because he knows most of them are lefty sandal-wearing veggies? The latter I suspect.
Any instances of the BBC ‘self-selecting’ the news that suits it….list it all here….
Pg2 BBC refuses to attend Parliament committee about PSCs
Paul Lewis will be attending to put the employees case that they were forced into PSCs (non salaried)
How is the BBC able to excuse itself from a Parliamentary Enquiry into how they fund their staff using OUR-not their-money?
And will this refusal crop up in sniffy tones on the telly, like they`d use for bankers, Ashley, Harris and the other freebooting conmen who won`t pay taxes or are unaccountable bullies?
At least Harris and Ashley CREATED some wealth at one time-unlike the leeching lying BBC, utter parasitic infestation that they are.
Free speech, speech postponed due to threat at Kings College
Kings College ban their OWN lecturer from giving a talk in his OWN university?
The uni sez that “the health and safety of its students and staff outweigh the “desire” for free speech!).
Truly chilling, and no mention at all about those forces that are able to prevent free speech in a London university on a Friday afternoon to their own Libertarian Society.
The cost of protecting him and his listeners seems prohibitive.
If only parsing agonising blowhards like Tom Shakespeare would tell their listeners where this line of bureaucratic cringing leads to.
But they won`t. At Hitlers throat while purring at Stalins feet.
No trace of Hitler exists, but Stalin and his goons are alive and well at Kings(to be renamed Queens and Queers Hairdressing Tech, lest we think they`re brave and willing to teach their own students things with their own lecturers)
I’m getting increasingly concerned about this website and its now apparent lack of updating with no stated reason. Should I be worried?
Yes with each passing day it does look like something serious has happened to the site or worse to those who run it. I think that we all know that the liberal left Globalists who run the West are determined to regain total control of what people are allowed to know and then to think. Perhaps this site has fallen victim to a purge of alternative news sites.
I have no idea how many different folks actually visit the site each week so I can’t judge how effective it is in spreading the news about the bias of the BBC and that other more reliable news sources are available. I always suspected that one day the site would be closed down because of the alternative views on display here, but I am surprised that it has , if it has , happened so soon.
Hopefully the site is suffering some technical issues that will be sorted soon and the attack has not yet happened.
And if you have been listening to BBC R4, 6.30pm on Thursdays ……..
…….. “Don’t panic!”
You shouldn’t be worried about David Vance’s health.
He’s still tweeting.
And he’ll be a bit busy with AltNet media project.
And he does his periscope shows.
I hope Alan is OK
And remember to check isTheBBCbiased blog for specific topics.
I saw somewhere else a David Vance tweet. If he or someone else just even put up a comment as to the problem, it would be helpful. My theory is that it is either the Russians or Facetwatter trying to take the site down.
I think that David has realised that if he doesnt put up a new updated post then no ones feelings will be hurt about not being first.
Oak, how many people hang around their keyboards all day waiting for a new Thread to open?
The one time I was first, I think I had just logged on.
Giving myself the afternoon off, apart from a quick rush into Alcester later.
Do I need a pet? i`m told that I do.
Alicia, certainly, if you listened to the Pam Ayres tribute (excellent it was, mainly because of her!) on R4E this a.m..
You could apply for some chickens.
I have made several appeals to GCHQ for a new thread.
But so far no luck.
DC, Perhaps your appeals are still being swabbed down or tested?
Just in case.
Purely precautionary.
🙂
THEY don’t want us hideous Leavers talking about:

If the 1pm BBC News on R4 is correct (and I think we all have good reason to doubt the BBC’s quality of journalism and accuracy these days) the Skripal Saga is descending into farce.
What is even worse, the Prime Minister is basing foreign and diplomatic policy on what appears to be a very incomplete investigation, despite the vast resources and man hours afforded to it. It appears that the PM has been ill-advised and has spoken and acted prematurely.
“If the BBC is correct”Up2?
Like a Russian doll, so many variables contained.
All I`d say is when the Russians come over as statesmanlike, measured and calmly appealing to the overseeing authorites? Whereas we look like sports addicted, gesture posing nutters that give the police all cover that the poor souls who live there do NOT get? Seems we`ve been at the EU horsemeat for too long, whatever they`re adding to it has given our elite a collective breakdown. Madness.
This could be the final nail in her coffin, and that of the tousle-haired buffoon, too. Let’s hope so.
Looks like my January prediction, OG, of an October GE may have been a bit on the late side.
Perhaps May after a May resignation in March or April and a botched leadership race might be nearer the mark?
Could Theresa May survive if she had to announce to the house that Russia had no State involvement in the attack on the Skripals?
Usually, misleading the House means dismissal from post. (ref. Damien Green MP)
That may be really bad for Brexit unless the Conservatives put together a cracking manifesto with someone who can get everyone else in the Party to fully play their part during the campaign.
I think the PM is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t in this case. Imagine the outcry if the media and us had to wait for the investigation to end before we knew the full story. As it is, everything from a car door handle to a suitcase has been responsible for carrying the nerve agent and all summised by the media who have exaggerated the smallest snippet to the nth degree. Who would dare say that Salisbury is covered with the stuff, it could well be – or not.
Like her or loathe her, this PM in her short tenure has had to deal with a new drama every month, from bloody Brexit to bombings to nerve gas. Cameron only had to oversee signing off on Gay marriages !!!!
With you there Brissles. And an awful lot of misogyny and sexist stuff too, especially from Momentum and the Left.
She`s crap, but she`s not a mum. Nor has she the guard she needs, her blokes are wimps. Maggie had a husband who took no crap, had the likes of Ridley, Lawson and Tebbit who`d go out to bat for her.
Feel sorry for her, but only a proper Brexit will do it. The only thing history will judge her by.
Reminds me of Airplane-just needs to get us down and out, we`ll do the rest.
Anybody able to tell me why two Muslims were somehow allowed to attack Paul Golding in prison the other day?
Suspected broken nose, had to be cared for in the hospital wing.
“Minor facial injuries” was the blurb from the authorities. Where`s this “duty of care” they have-or is that only for Lee Rigbys killers? Golding may or may not be a twerp-but he was free, was incarcerated for things that are allowed if Muslims or the Left do them, and then was allowed to be attacked, much as Tommy Robinson was previous.
Really sinister this.
Gangs run prisons, in many Islam is the biggest gang
Alicia as your say – he was attacked – because they wanted him to be attacked.
In the great scheme of things a broken nose is “f all” but they are hoping that the possibility of a little spilt claret be enough to dampen our support for the battle ahead. Just like the attack on Tommy Robinson it was allowed because they hope that it will serve as a warning to the rest of us. We all knew it would happen and I am afraid that the Prison Service s “Duty of Care” always evaporates when the prisoner is someone who highlights the obvious truths that the Home Secretary does not want us to talk about.
Will the threat of a broken nose shut us up? – probably not – but what Government has done is pose the unanswered question to all of us – If we upset them what can we expect? I am afraid the gloves are now off!
My answer is that if we do not carry on we only need to look across to Sweden to know what to expect not only for us but our children and grandchildren too.
Some mad prisoners in that jail beat the anti-rape activist whilst they protect the child rapists
..so much for the morality of their belief system.
If it had been Christian rapists , some priest would have spoken up..Did an imam say it was wrong to beat Golding ?
Jayda visited the site of the gang rape & homes of the 4 people who were jailed for 49 years was jailed for 36 weeks
PG held the camera for her and was jailed for 18 weeks
(To me the offence was that the rape trial hadn’t finished, so damages the independence of the process)
Green activists even get away with damaging the businesses they are protesting against, poisoning dogs etc.
Golding received the an predictable extra sentence of being beaten up.
So some prisoners in that jail think Golding’s morals are worse than the gang rapists of a child ?
Dear community,
as our views do not align with those of the MSM, and we fear site closure at some point. We should have a backup site somewhere.
The increasingly totalitarian state in which we live will eventually remove all dissenting voices.
… I find it incredible that an Englishman can write that of this England. My thoughts turn increasingly to how to raise an effective alternative or even defence.
Lasslo,
I m thinking the alt site is “ is the bbc biased” should this one end. Mr Vance is still tweeting but I cannot contact him on that because I don’t tweet….or use other media apart from this .
You’re right about the “dissenting “ issue – free speech is being eroded very quickly under the banner of ‘hate crime’ and ‘right wing’ – maybe we stand a chance if there is ever a conservative government but too many politicians take the easy option and conform to blizzard of snow flakes and the condemnation sickness which has grown out of Twitter.
There’s always Going Postal, if you don’t mind accommodating other stuff. The general consensus there, is that the BBC is shit. It’s often bang on target, and a good laugh. Try it.

Thanks – didn’t know of it – will hold it as a contingency in case this site is further diminished
If ‘they’ are trying to disrupt it, I would like to add my comment in protest.
I come to this site for a dose of sanity in a world that, increasingly, makes me feel as if I’m living in a dystopian novel.
Director Terry Gilliam draws fire for speaking out against the Me Too movement
In an interview with Variety, the film director and member of the Monthy Python comedy troupe defends Harvey Weinstein
and argues that the Me Too movement has transformed into “mob rule.”
Does he defend HW ?
Seems same pattern as Global Warming alarmism, that only the retired speak out, cos they don’t need to worry about being sacked.
http://torontosun.com/entertainment/celebrity/terry-gilliam-the-metoo-movement-has-become-mob-rule/wcm/f5cc1b16-16d5-4793-b9f9-4ed271019f35
Never got Gilliam, bit blokey and arty for me.
But-without reading it-he`s right.
I`m after facts in these cases, not hyped up synthesised feelings. And Weinstein,no matter his predilections did not hang around care homes with working class little girls who were already damaged good. He did not ply them with Uncles vodka, send them to cousins kebab shops , and in brother-in-laws taxis. No-he did what Louis Meyer, Fatty Arbuckle and all other rich ugly men did with willing young totty since the year dot.
Not right, never is-but the rank hypocrisy of the rich beneficiaries like Streep and Field makes me cross.
Had Telford rebadged their childrens homes as RADA workshops or stage school, maybe the luvvies might then have cared.
Doubt it though. Working class white girls getting abused in northern towns by Muslim families of blokes does not compare with Michael Fallon touching Hartley Brewers knee in 2001.
Or a bad look from Malcolm Muggeridge when Lady Bakewell passed him in the BBC canteen. That kinda nonsense.
I meant to say if anyone is trying to disrupt this site.

This week’s doodling (happy St Patricks day all, I’m off to the pub now to get smashed)
London crime update
I post this every so often because al Beeb doesn’t seem to bother reporting the murder youngsters in London any more unless it’s an ethnic ‘minority’ being killed by whitee.
Anyway – 3 miles from where I live yet another 20 year old shot dead – this time Enfield . A couple seriously injured too. Three stree murders in the same area of London in the last 5 days . The murder police must be on serious overtime .
At least the police don’t waste time doing stops and searches any more – connection ? Ha?
Proud to be posting 1160
I always go here..
http://www.murdermap.co.uk/investigate.asp
to remind myself never to move back to London under any circumstances!
For reasons I don’t understand, some on this site seem to question Putin’s involvement in recent assassinations, asking “what’s in it for him?”.
At least 4 things: scare potential defectors; impress domestic voters just before an election (they love a strong thug in charge, it’s all they’ve ever known); distract from domestic problems before the election; destabilise and divide the West, and show its weakness.
Score: 10/10.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/comment/putin-has-the-west-exactly-where-he-wants-it-l0nrknlsq
“Putin has the West exactly where he wants it”
Vlad – and undermine / split the security council / UN .
It’s handy for him to get the West really hostile to Russia to further consolidate his position after the fixed ‘election ‘ tomorrow.
The soviets also know that the conspiracy theorists will have a field day – the best so far for me is that the UK did it to cover the failure of Brexit negotiations .
I prefer the theory that a charity did it to take the attention off of them…
The West is united in words, but not actually doing much as usual.
(partly because we need Russian gas – pity fracking never took off.)
vlad,
In my experience, the two dicta for murder detectives – motive and opportunity – are key. I write purely as an amateur and also a lifelong A. Conan Doyle fan.
I have tested those two dicta in games of Cluedo and they do work amazingly well when working out who hit Rev Green with the Library while he was in the lead pipe and so on.
There has been an amazing lack of clear, sensible, questioning from BBC R4 News presenters in this Skripal affair. There has also been an amazing “We mustn’t speculate, but the Russians did it.” and “It’s far too early to be certain but we know the Russians killed Litvinenko, so they must have killed the Skripals or at least been behind it.” before the victims are even dead. Then there is the means “We think it was nerve gas sprayed on the victims and only Russia uses this so it was all Putin’s fault.”
I am no apologist for Putin or Russia or Communism, but I am for careful, measured, patient detection and the gathering of facts. Sometimes journalists and the news media can assist in this. On this occasion, the BBC on R4 in particular, have excluded all of that.
These days, I am left wondering whether everyone has an agenda. The Home Office and the Police want more funding. The BBC want Brexit overturned and a Conservative Government removed but are not keen on Corbyn. GCHQ wants more resources and money. Boris Johnson wants to be PM. The Momentum part of Labour want an early Election and Corbyn to win it. The Army wants more money and toys to play with. The Civil Service wants more ‘Mandarins’ and more money to pay them despite their getting the running of the UK hugely wrong for decades. MI5 and MI6 want more money to expand their operations. The ‘Soft Left’ in Labour want a new massive centrist political Party that will overturn Brexit and rule for evermore getting rid of conservatism for all time.
You never know for sure now, in something like this, whether one or more groups (you may be able to add to the list) are all doing their jobs but with one eye, one arm and one leg totally tied to their own agenda.
Well Up2, a lot of readers seem to like your conspiracy theories, but I still favour Ockham’s Law: when in doubt, all other things being equal, go with the simplest explanation, in this case the Beast from the East – and I don’t mean the weather.
Could be wrong of course…
Vlad
Funny you should mention the “Beast from the East”
Someone gave me this cui bono argument.
Who benefitted most from the freezing weather of the BFTE?
The energy companies of course!
It follows then that the energy companies must have created the BFTE.
Vlad
I’m quite puzzled too. It’s probably due to an excess of cui bonoism. This was one of Tony Benn’s favorite ploys in implicating US imperialists in various crimes and a great aid to mindless confabulation. Cui bono was used by Cicero to get his client off a parricide charge in the Roscius affaire but in that case, cui bono referred to a concrete financial benefit. Many valuable farms belonging to Roscius Senior ended up in the hands of relatives by devious means and the son had ended up homeless and penniless. Working out who benefitted and who benefitted the most without any tangible or objective measure of benefit simply leads to more and more futile speculation.
I’m surprised no one has pointed the finger at Ken Clarke, Nick Clegg and Michael Hezeltine for the Salisbury incident They have the most to gain. They are desparate to keep the UK in the EU and have all the necessay connections. How could an isolated UK deal with threats from Putin and Trump et al.? The EU would be our saviour.
Of course, RT has not suggested this variant yet
Up
Are you sure you’re not an apologist for Putin . You are right on your list of Who wants What – but there surely easier ways of doing this rather than trying/ killing two Russians in Salisbury .
But if you think it’s possible that uk agencies impersonated Russia to kill their enemy then good luck .
On a different subject an al Beeb website report on Telford now uses the term CSE instead of the hopefully defunct and offensive grooming . I won’t say what CSE is because I might be the only one to have never heard it before .
I should add – of course – that the nature of the CSE criminals – peasant paki Muslim men – is not mentioned at all in the report although a few helpful pictures of these vermin appear at the end.
Fed, if I was an enthusiast for any Russian leader since WW2, it would have to be Gorbachev. Someone you could do business with, I seem to recall one of our PM’s stating.
Doing business – trying to – with Putin I am sure it would be more a case of ‘counting your fingers and thumb after you have shaken hands’ affair.
My prime suspects for ‘whodunnit’ should be pretty evident from my posts on the subject so far.
In second place there would be a host of candidates. If you read my most recent post, British Intelligence would be running in a distant last place or last but one place.
You would need to have re-arranged genuine FSB, rogue FSB/KGB, Russian criminals, Western criminals, other sovereign states, international criminals and the CIA into some sort of order from that joint second place before you get to a hit by ‘6’.
No, I don’t know what CSE is unless you refer to what merged with ‘G’ when Comprehensive Education was inflicted on this nation by a despicable Labour Education Secretary.
Fair points – the issue about CSE was aimed at every one – apparently it is
Child Sexual Exploitation.
Nice that such a horror is reduced to three letters
Fedup, to complete the set:
ASE is Adult Sexual Exploitation.
Oops, correction to my above post: I left out from joint second place ‘Freelance Chancers’ although the chance of one of them doing it is very slim. Before or after our own side, maybe?
Another thing that everyone seems to have totally missed is that Sergei Skripal is a traitor.
Then, once he is known as a traitor to his own side, they have two options, one with a variation: punish him – imprison or execute him. The one with no variation is to try to turn him again. Bring him back into the Russia fold while the British think he is purely their own double agent.
If, I repeat IF, the Russians have been successful at the latter, Skripal’s Moscow Controller has a tremendous power over Sergei Skripal. Skripal’s life and soul have been totally sold to his latest and last paymaster.
Sergei Skripal could – for all we know – have been enjoying a double salary, living very comfortably in pleasant surroundings in the affluent West, providing his British paymasters with low grade product that the Russians could afford to let loose, perhaps while mixing it with disinformation. In addition, he might have been feeding back to Moscow whatever product he could find here that is useful to them.
He has only to put a foot wrong, in some small way, and upset his Controller and Russian paymaster and his life is not worth a candle. All the Russians need to do is to inform the UK that Skripal has been turned.
The British will not want him and will not want to pay him or trust him. The Russians will have no further use for him, because they will not want to pay him and maybe again do not trust him. Indeed, they will be prime candidates for eliminating him altogether in case he goes really rogue, playing both sides against each other, while disrupting State operations and perhaps working for criminals.
I preferred Yeltsin, Up2.
Gorbachev reminded me of David Jenkins who was Archbishop of York at the time or so. Someone loved by the r outsiders and rebels, hated by the Russian demos and the congregations respectively. Yeltsin seemed to be the whistleblower who risked all to topple Communism. Gorbachev more the rock star weathervane who followed the power , not brave enough to risk leading it.
Of course, I`m being relative-Gorbachev is a titan compared to nearly all western leaders in our lifetimes.
But Yeltsin could have been the one to save us from Putin, had Bush and Major etc made catastrophic miscalculations to extract a peace dividend, then send the hypercapitalist oligarchs the money saved. Yeltsin debauched his nation with a debauched currency, and we let loads of God-fearing, honourable Russians starve and go under. Their revenge was-and still is-Putin, who saw what happened and will do nothing else but ensuring that he`ll be no Yeltsin.
Happy to be corrected on all this, may be wrong.
PS-thank you re Pam Ayres, my mum and I used to like her. Will listen in later.
Yeltsin? Vulnerable to the bottle, IIRC, and it did for him in the end.
David Jenkins was Bishop of Durham but it was York Minster that got hit by lightning during his term of office. It was said by some to be ‘a judgement’.
I think a friend studied with him briefly at Leeds, while doing a MTh, and couldn’t make him out.
“[C]onsidering the ramifications for the West regarding its lies in the lead up to Iraq and the fallout the West has faced in the aftermath of Iraq’s destruction, what do Western policymakers expect to gain from an incident many times more transparently staged and self-serving against a world increasingly skeptical of their claims and actions?
Still, the accusations are serious and the prepared responses from the West will assuredly further endanger global peace and stability. That the alleged attack took place on British soil means that – unlike in Syria – there is no UNSC the West must pass through before taking matters into its own hands.
This fact alone – following years of frustration in the face of Russia’s veto power upon the UNSC in regards to Syria – makes the nature of the Skripal incident even more suspicious. The UK appears to have a pretext and a clear path toward escalation before it – how far it and its allies are prepared to go remains to be seen.”

Know Yourself and Know Your (Real) Enemy
For those that believe that “radical Islam” is real and an enduring threat to “Western civilization,” they would be wise to heed the words of ancient warlord Sun Tzu who said,
“know yourself, and know your enemy and you will never be defeated.”
This means identifying the true source of “radical Islam’s” power by tracing weapons, money, and leadership to their sources. For those that believe “Islam” is the fundamental problem, indulging in cherry picked Qu’ran verses is monumentally irresponsible. A true enemy must be honestly studied which means cherry-picked versus must be put into context, the Qu’ran as a whole, must be read, and deep and objective study must be undertaken to truly “know one’s enemy.”
Meeting and talking with Muslims, observing their communities, and learning their ways – if one truly believes Islam is a threat – is also fundamental in order to “know one’s enemy.”
Yet it is likely that many who blindly hate Islam do so as a spectator sport. They are disinterested in the truth because picking a side and rooting is the extent of their intellectual, physical, and moral depth. For others, it is a means of profiting. Finding a niche in the West’s massive propaganda machine and picking up crumbs for one’s bank account and ego has become a viable business model for many.
But for those with the moral integrity to do so, a genuine look into “radical Islam” will reveal a much more troubling and real enemy. One that does not menace us with a foreign culture, religion, or ideology from abroad, but one that lies right in our midst, cloaked in patriotism, humanitarianism, and all that passes for “Western civilization” today.
Tony Cartalucci is a Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine“New Eastern Outlook”.
Is Tony another RT “expert”?
“For nearly two years, Britain’s political class and chattering class have looked with contempt upon ordinary British people, whom they accuse of being post-truth, nationalistic, xenophobic and nostalgic for Empire. Now, these same people sniff at the suggestion that we should wait for more evidence on the Salisbury poisoning, suddenly care about Britain’s national integrity, engage in paranoid ‘vulnerable Britain’ vs ‘evil Russia’ hysteria, and want Britain to build up its military muscle to face down the Evil East. Everything they have said about us is far truer of them. That it happened so quickly, this descent from a supposedly rational political class into unstable, jingoistic war-talkers going on about filthy foreign money and influence, tells us just how thin is the veneer of reason on today’s ruling elites.”

I see that Coronation Street is introducing high street brands such as Costa and the Co-Op to its set to give it a more realistic feel. But how much realism can one take? I note that the latest cast member is a date raping homosexual who has taken the garage job of the chap murdered by the white serial killer.
Of course a more realistic storyline might be the establishment of a mosque on the Street, which is then found to be a haven of radical Islam when a true believer blows up the Rover’s Return.
In the next scene the bomber goes straight to heaven where his reward is 72 Ena Sharples.
CM, LOL but if so, they had better move fast. Has not one of the coffee chains announced a raft of branch closures?
I wonder if this is not being renewed because of the new format.
Perhaps there is a different way to start a new thread and Alan doesn’t have the correct procedure.
If there is some nasty reason for this site stopping I suggest we use Breitbart comments to inform each other of any new site we can meet on.
You should be reading Breitbart (London) anyway.
Maybe Alan is on holiday or on a big bender.
The only other possible reasons are;
Because of Brexit.
Because of Trump.
The Russians.
If Alan is reading this it would be appreciated if you would post, on here, an update.
The new spaced-out format of this site is terrible. Now one has to tediously scroll down a great deal more, and the spaced text is less easy to read. The box for Reply is too narrow, so that if the message is long, it is more difficult to edit (e.g. to correct typos). Why make things more difficult for customers by making unnecessary changes?
On my mobile, if I scroll to the bottom of the page to reach most recent comments, there’s an acre of white space to have to scroll up again to.
That’s after pressing “newer comments” about eleven times to get to the last page!
Apologies for the changes. The theme developers pushed through a major update which broke a number of things. It’s also extremely difficult to roll back. I’ve got a support call open with them to fix the mobile theme issues.
Where to watch it live?
I have a feeling the mainstream media won’t be publicizing it
The antis will try to turn up to get it cancelled and succeed I’m guessing
Is anyone from this site going? Honestus?
It would be good to have a report from the ground.
Just heard most of some Radio 4 “Archive Hour”.
About disinformation.
Our dispassionate commentator did try to be balanced, but only in the sense that he cited both Hitler and Stalin.
First half of the programme was a push me pull you version of history up to Stalins death.
And then we went straigh to Trump.
So no look at Iraq, Chilcot, Blair, Ulster, Global warming, Clinton or the examples of media fakes and smothering as used by the liberals like the BBC.
No Rotherham, Baby P or mid-Staffs, Savile or what the EU have been doing.
Just got the idea that disinformation is only so when the far-right and far left do it. The “centre” only gives us truth by contrast to the Fake News fantasists like Trump.
Ah well-to have a BBC hour on “disinformation” without mentioning the £350 billion Boris On the Bus byte-well, let`s be grateful for the smallest of mercies.
Yes, quite right re Durham Up2, thanks for that.
And Yeltsin was a drunk, after what he`d been through can`t say I blame him though.
@Alicia thankyou for doing that chore of listening to the prog
..Remember every accusation they throw out at Trump etc. is usually them projecting their own flaws.
(BTW David V has told me a new thread will appear soon-ish)
Stew-by my reckoning yours is the 1,200th post on this blog.
Another landmark missed in my short addled life…I dared to dream, but look where it got me!
Congratulations though.
Hope you`ll do the double and get the 1,250th too.
It`s what Doddy Deddy would have wanted.
How much is Stephen Hawkings rig now selling for on eBay, got to be worth a bit in rare earth metals?
How come they never programmed him to sing?
This blog is 1220!

Thank you for listening . I had exceeded by al beeb ration for the day which is now at 3 hours absolute maximum .
Really surprised about lack of cover on the brexit campaign as the remainer strategy was a case study in failed disinformation .
Re Salisbury : I’m seeing people on this forum doing the Armchair General thing, which ends up in the “2+2=5,6,7 thinking ” that we see from the lib mob
To me it’s like draughts’ experts commenting on a chess game
.. we don’t know the half of what’s going on
It’s like commenting on a foreign country that you never been to
..when you get there, you realise its completely different from what you could have imagined.
What happens is that most of these things DO get explained over time.
There is no use in us wasting time speculating
..staying calm and accepting that there is uncertainty is a good skill.
We don’t need to run around screaming that GlobalWarming or Brexit will be a disaster , cos the passage of time proves things .
We didn’t have to sell our sledges just cos that guy said “children will never know what know is ” ..time has proved that untrue and even GW alarmists aren’t telling people to burn their sledges.
We do know that is that if Russia doesn’t want to get accused of assassinating dissidents then it shouldn’t have built up a reputation of doing that in the first place.
..Here endeth my sermon ..sorry
They were challenged on this (Rotheram) on R4 and said it was not their story as the Mirror broke it, so had to check it, 2000 journalists on a mass rape story seems to take them a while to check it and they also admitted they will never comment on the religion or culture of offenders, yet quite happy to use the phrase “far right” without any thought that some may have a culture of belonging to our country and its democracy and culture and its schools and its laws,
How very odd then. The Observer is reporting that a firm working for Donald Trump’s campaign hacked Facebook profiles. (Guess the Russian angle has failed, so they have to try something else.)
Yet already, prominently on the BBC’s web page, is a story about it.

“Trump campaign data firm accused of harvesting Facebook data”
Harvesting data is NOT the same as hacked
Hacked would mean they have CONTROL of your entire facebook account.
A certain number of people agreed to help with a survey and didn’t realise that some extra data was harvested
Probably something like they recorded the name of the page you visited before the survey and the page after
It’s not likely to anything that can use to break into someones banks accounts , rather they probably just work out patterns of large groups ..eg that 30% visit CNN and 40% visit Fox
My guess is then they were told to delete individual data
and they replied we don’t have much individual data we just have a database that says “30% visit CNN and 40% visit Fox”
In fairness, hacked was my shorthand, not the BBC’s. The exact word isn’t however relevant to the fact that the BBC can suddenly report on another’s story when it suits.
Yep agree ..but see below how the BBC head of news has already tweeted Sunday Mirror’s front page
And BTW the BBC just said it was a bit more data
“harvest data from ALL your Facebook friends as well”
I’m guessing just as you can see what Groups your Facebook friends LIKE , the opt in box enabled them to do see that aswell
thus when one person clicks the opt in box , they collected a database of suck LIKES for 100, and once 100 people have clicked their database has thousands (Not 10,000 cos people friend groups will have massive overlap)
Relentess attacks upon a democratically elected politician it is insidious
Clinton have a cigar….hmm just imagine if they had that on Trump
And the women march against him…and I suppose support cigar insertions, Clintons wife has also attacked the women who have claimed sexual assault, bit strange after so many stories recently……
TellMama the Muslim NGO are handing out a Safety Manual for Mosques in response to the April 3rd Punish A Muslim (probably fake) Letter.
Where’s their “Please don’t rape children” Manual ?
Every one of these bastards should be charged with hate crime they only do it to non muslims including Sikhs:
Luton Sikh-Muslim protest: ‘Positive’ police meeting
300 of them marched because of continual harrasment
A “constructive” and “positive” meeting has been held between police and the Sikh and Muslim communities following a protest at a Luton police station.
The groups held talks on Wednesday after hundreds of Sikhs gathered at Buxton Road on Tuesday night.
The protest was over allegations a Muslim man had assaulted a Sikh woman.
Police said officers were working with the two groups and wanted any concern about criminal activity to be reported.
If I were the authorities in Luton, I`d be very worried here. When Muslims meet Sikhs it will not end well.
And Bedfordshire Plod, or drafted in nice boys and girls from Thames Valley won`t prevent a nasty little civil war on our streets that won`t end nicely.
The Sikhs have a simple direct faith, and have knives aplenty.
And Pakistan shows what the battle lines and issues will be.
Was hoping to stay up to mark the 1,200. 250 0r 300-and then the thread would end.
But apparently I need to get a life, so its up the stairs to Bedfordshire, hope I`ll not get involved in a nasty duvet war( est 1988).
Where is our march ? we are called right wing and arrested if we do the same to protect our children
Telford update : Mirror say their story from March 10th resulted in 12 new victims coming forward
Are Shropshire Police and the BBC not pleased about that ?

* Interesting * New anti-ticket touting procedures mean that say you are sick , your wife couldn’t bring her sister instead of you to the concert
If you buy a ticket for someone and they die or get sick , you just have to apply for some fraction of the money back.
Oxfam : Papers are repeating the Times new revelations
Mr Mutiku, a Kenyan in his 40s, was given a final warning about his conduct in June 2010 but he was later accused of paying young women for sex at his #Oxfam accommodation just six months later. #oxfamscandal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5511995/Oxfam-let-aid-worker-accused-sexual-harrassment-stay-Haiti.html
Times Oxfam investigation, continued: Raphael Mutiku was one of Oxfam’s most experienced public health engineers, a veteran of emergencies across the world with more than a decade of experience in providing safe water supplies to stricken…
So Mutiku was than Mr Sex Party man, and note how most papers avoid mentioning he’s the Kenyan one
Timeline
– June 2010 He was harassing female staff, so they gave him a written warning
– 6 months later they find he’s now paying Haitian women to come to his Oxfam apartment for sex
– His boss Mr Bastable wrote “There’s no Oxfam law against prostitutes” (that’s pragmatic, but it was technically against Haitian law)
So they had a private word
– Then later it comes out he’s been organising these parties
So when finally 5 people were removed he was one of them
*Enrichment * – Chasjit Verma found guilty of £1m fraud in charity that manages gyms , including House of Parliament gyms
* Censorship * FB is now banned in Sri Lanka cos the Muslim riots
* Celebs * Thirsk residents fight back in a Times letter after she said they should be ashamed of a nearby abattoir .. they say “those guys don’t come from our town” ..(of course not cos there is no Mosque for the convicted Muslim slaughter-men)
* Privileged class * Liz Sugg 39 was elevated to a peerage for working with Cameron (she’s now the Transport Minister)
Her mother Baroness Chisholm just got an MBE for 30 years as Ken Clarke’s PA
BTW I am not a “Brit” I am British I would be arrested for calling someone a “paki” funny that or maybe not so funny….what a twisted society we live in
muslim council of britain says it all … just read their website, they do not care about the needs of 87% of the population
When my grandparents landed at Hull in the very early 20th century escaping Tsarist Russian pogroms they were grateful. No social in those days, they didn’t ask for special deals just for them they simply got on with it.
So. I take it they did not bow and scrape to get a British passport then block our railways to get our coutry to fight for their war torn shithole in the middle east
No they worked in sweatshops, ended up in Leeds working at Montague Burtons as factory workers making the famous 50 shilling suits and their three sons fought in WW2, one of which was severely wounded fighting in the desert rats.
Unfortunately for me I am not an heir for M&S, or any other buisiness, and contrary to most anti-semites slurs I and many others are working class and proud to be British and Jewish and Zionist.

Dear Blog above.
You were swollen with all manner of stuff, yet you held firm.
You were stuffed to bursting like a condom full of walnuts.
Yet you were elastic, flexible accommodating and welcome. By the end of the week , you had become a true friend to me. And now everybody has scarpered and ran to another, younger and more comely blog. But I stayed true, came back to visit you like an old bombsite , like a feisty yet sad relative in a care home.
Others might wish to visit-keep the party going.
But I stayed true, and see you as the blog of the year already. Like an overdue refugee boat, we were welcome to blather, and you made room for us all.
I may not have been first on the blog-but may I be the last? This is the Last Post, played on a a kazoo!
