‘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….

“Security minister Ben Wallace said: “It is clear that there are some lessons to be learned in this particular case.”

Ha !
“It is clear that there are some lessons to be learned in this particular case.”
How many times have we got to put up with that ?
So much for “Enough is enough”.
This nation is in need of a new political party, with a Home Secretary that cares about the native people of Great Britain .
Would YOU fear a “security minister” called “Ben Wallace”?

So called refugee who blew up another tube train convicted. The first sentence in the albeeb website blames the authorities for not diverting him from trying to kill British people .
No mention of the policy allowing vermin like this in. He ll enjoy his time in prison with the rest of his brothers plotting their next attacks . Wonder when they’ll try nerve agents having seen the publicity it gets .
Fix the website . It’s getting a bit disrespectful now
The F’ing BBC are at it again!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43392551
Even though the Parson’s Bomber, Ahmed Hassan, had said he came to this country to kill people after being in an ISIS training camp the BBC report he is: “The Iraqi fantasist who wanted attention”
The BBC go on to say: “It was not his intention to cause an explosion on the Tube train, he said. He only wanted to cause a fire.” Why didn’t the BBC offer to be his defence in court, even the defending lawyers wouldn’t come out with nonsense like that.
Now please understand what the BBC is forgetting to report, this nasty little sod filled his explosive device with knives, nails, screws and other items which would cause catastrophic and deadly injuries to human beings. The only reason there were no deaths is because he was incompetent. The device was designed to murder people.
The BBC say, “During that interview Hassan claimed he had been recruited by the Islamic State group in Iraq and had been “trained to kill”.” Just look at the word ‘claimed’. Not stated, but ‘claimed’ as if he didn’t know that he was sent here to kill.
The real problem for the BBC is that this is a child refugee from Calais, who illegally came into this country and then claimed asylum. The sort of person beloved of Gary Lineker and many other Guardian readers.
This is an appalling attempt to hide the truth from the public. If people don’t know that some Muslims have been sent here to cause injury, then we will end up having more dangerous people washing up on our shores, and more deaths. The next Ahmed Hassan may well get his bomb to work properly.
Good spots SS.
Noted Channel 4 and the BBC using that “claimed” word last night as they said Unilever “claimed” that their relocation to Rotterdam was not, in any way, related to our Brexit vote.
Unilever can claim what they like for their shareholders, but the BBC and Channel 4 actually KNOW what Unilever and its shareholders are doing by relocating.
These weasel words-“claim” instead of “stated” “said” etc are very dangerous. The media do this all the time, and it`s hardly mentioned in the blizzards of froth and ack ack they send out as “news and analysis”.

Chris, I forgive your casting of such aspersions because you’ve brought back memories of wet Saturday afternoons watching Dickie Davies on World of Sport.
This is 1009. Is anyone running a book on who’ll be 2,000?
SS,
What is interesting though that even engaged with the Prevent Strategy, his intentions were hidden from view. The simpletons managing the course clearly have not had the principle of “taqiyya” explained to them. The fact is, that the Government can promote the Prevent Strategy and more £50 million language courses but they miserably fail to realise these people have a prominent streak of mentality which stretches back to the year 732 and that will take a little more that some half-cocked “Strategy” designed to eradicate harmful intentions. It is not a difficult task, it is an impossible task so long as the quaran promotes war and killing kaffirs.
Also notice how the article is titled:
Parsons Green attack: The Iraqi fantasist who wanted attention
The attention bit is what the
terroristteenage Iraqi asylum seeker stated therefore that bit of the title should have been in quotes.The BBC love using quotes to
lieimply something may not be true but in this case leaving out the quotes they are implying he really just wanted attention and nothing more.Or to put it another way… the BBC are c**ts!
Bojo, apparently, has been plunging into the Skripal Saga again, saying “It’s the Russians wot dun it” except when the BBC play a clip or provide a transcript of Bojo’s words they include the word ‘probably’ or similar.

Any old chump can get up in the early hours to be “Top Of The Blogs”, being a “first reposter”. And, of course for those with less than full lives, this may indeed be an appropriate use of their time.
I of course am different, swigging my Turps and Scrumpy firewater by the Parrack River, under the town bridge.
And -as I waffle here-I think I am going to be the first POSTER who is the THOUSANDTH to do so.
Is it Norris McWhirter who`s stilll with us? And if not-who else do I tell apart from my long-suffering helpmeet, Mrs cH?

I have to admit, my hands were shaky, I dared not say anything in case someone beat me to it.
“Any old chump can get up in the early hours to be “Top Of The Blogs”, being a “first reposter”…
Less of the ‘old’ !
To all my friends above.
It has been brough to my attention that my emotional outpourings above, exuberant and well intentioned(or was it well-oiled?) were insensitive and triumphalist, and may seem to be seen to be somewhate disappointing/inappropriate/regrettable/give cause for concern…heck-even “unacceptable”(dare I go so strong in my ward here?).
I accept that I was ageist, sports-specifying, sexist and possibly stigmatising our shaky victor..not a Blue Badge shaming, but not far off!
I am on a journey, I both feel and share all your pain and hope you`ll give me both a grand pay off, loads of time off to write my BBC “Book Of The Week” mea culpa-as well as some Me2Time in the Harvey Weinstein Spa with a cheeky Paul Masson Californian Carafe(he wasn`t always a Lefty tosspot).
My wife says that Julia Bradbury is welcome to come along-so hope you`ll stump up both for my extending my life journey, but will pay for our Julia to attend with me. Mr Grace being my precedent.
Got Brendan Cox with a slop bucket for you to fill with unwanted cash…and he`s trained in waving it at the vulnerable to ensure I live my dream. I`m worth it!
This was a Naughtie-Yentob Heist!
chris, we’ll read your posts whether they are top, #1000, final word or buried somewhere in the middle of an overlong Thread.
Just keep that old Kerouac-style thing going, lad, at your overheated writetyper!
I was first on this very long thread, if you recall. Are you calling me a chump, Chris? 🙂
Downboy
Yeah yeah yeah thanks for reminding us you were first a 1000 entries ago. I keep trying to be larrrrrst……. ha
Well I`m impressed Downboy!
To both top and tail this blog is no mean achievement.
And, apart from a few wayward trolls that we welcome like air-fresheners to hang in the cab to show how inclusive, how nice we are to “special and vulnerable gonks”-there are no chumps here…only great cultural critics.
Let`s hope being top of the blogs doesn`t change us eh Downboy?
It`ll be me one day-maybe this keeps me going.
Yeah, but can you remember the words to the advert for 1001, GWF?
It’s been bothering me all afternoon.

That Times reviewer Catherine Nixey must be a full on Hatey-person who should be working at the Guardian
Oh hang on her last article was in the Guardian
“The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World by Catherine Nixey “
BBC are slowly getting the picture … words are important … children are children …. this is not grooming it is r*pe and abuse ….
Grooming, r*pe, trafficking, or the many other ways children are being sexually abused, the subject of child sexual exploitation – or CSE as it is known by professionals in the field – is in the headlines with depressing regularity. Telford is currently in the spotlight – but is by no means the first place and will not be the last.
A 12-year-old girl was found, being plied with alcohol, in a car with a 22-year-old man. He had indecent images of her on his phone. No action was taken.
And the media unwittingly helped to obscure the scale of the abuse, referring to children as the “girlfriends” of adult men. When in 2001, Lucy Lowe was murdered in Telford – along with her mother and sister – by the 26-year-old man who had groomed and abused her, news outlets – including the BBC – described the adult killer as Lucy’s “boyfriend”.
“I was in cars that were stopped and searched by police with older men and it was never questioned why I was in there or who I was. My name was never asked. I just think if they had been more proactive at points like that, things could have changed earlier.
“I was also going to the doctor and the youth sexual health clinic a couple of times a week for three years and getting the morning-after pill.
“Nobody asked any questions.”
Is there anyone out there that can highlight any evidence Patriotic Bias being promoted by the BBC ?
Has anyone seen maxincony?
He has gone very quiet of late.
Don’t grumble, taffman …
I’m not going to bother with maxi anymore. He only wants to snipe and run.

No doubt the BBC will be too busy to bother mentioning that the ANC and everyone involved with it are corrupt, thieving, dishonest thugs.
The ANC can do no wrong in the eyes of the beeb:
a) they’re black
b) the party of Saint Mandela
c) they’re enabling the killing and ethnic cleansing of whites, which is a good thing in beebland.
To criticise would be waycist.

So no longer “Surrey Teenager” the BBC called him when first a suspect?
“Surrey teenager” BBC tweet was documented by Breitbart

Mark Kermode’s producer immediately blocked me on Facebook for my crime of providing a Breitbart link.
BBC 16mar2018 can’t even spit out the words ‘Telford’ or ‘r*pe’ or ‘abuse’ … they hide behind a question “Nobody asked me any questions” …
The BBC is not reporting news, it is hiding it in plain sight.
The BBC says that media used the wrong words like describing the adult killer as Lucy’s “boyfriend” … and the BBC is still doing it again with ‘Nobody asked me any questions’ …
Has to Gender Gap Presenter Gary ‘£1.75m’ Lineker got anything to say about this terrible reporting?
‘And the media unwittingly helped to obscure the scale of the abuse … by the 26-year-old man who had groomed and abused her, news outlets – including the BBC – described the adult killer as Lucy’s “boyfriend”.’
Looking at those nine ‘stories’, eight give the reader a fair idea what the story about.
One could be anything, from the claim of a BBC FOI director to a QT Tory audience member.
@MM — Good spot.
Currently appearing on the News home page is a story about white bloke rape. I know this because the word ‘rape’ or ‘rapist’ appears four times in the article. Shocking to discover they actually exist in the BBC lexicon.
I had believed systemic, mass rape was all to do with ‘vulnerable girls being traded’ like Pokemon cards or something.
Disgraceful.
Sadly I am one of many blocked by Owen, but it looks as if he is complaining about not enjoying access to the airwaves he had been accustomed to.
Has he miffed other guests higher in the bbc bff food chain?

Loving the thread; seems the key aspect is accuracy on which specific BBC outlets were being referred to.

Beeb slow to report this: “College student, 20, shot dead while sitting in car in Walthamstow.”
Either our most overfunded and mistrusted are just useless, or they’re not happy about the likely perpetrators of this latest in a long line of shootings and stabbings.

How come there`s no film or pictures from Salisbury?
Why no clear CCTV of that awful attack on an Egyptian young student in Nottingham?
How many rats do we need to smell before we detect fake news, in contrast to the massaging, managing “news from the liberals”?
I’ve just listened to most of the Now Show, chris. Not bad this week. Turned off when the ‘singing’ started, just in case.
The Now Show has possibly revealed a bit of news about the Skripal poisoning that BBC News & Current Affairs – with all its vast resources – has been unable to bring me for 12 days.
Were they right that the police are certain the poison was administered in Sergei Skripal’s car? Or are the Now Show imagining that? Or making it up? Or guessing?
Anyone know if that is correct?
If so, BBC Light Entertainment outdoes BBC N&CA in news gathering. That’s a bit embarrassing for James Purnell.
The Now Show is a few days out of date.
There was no evidence of anyone approaching the two victims to administer the poison so it was thought that it had been placed in the car. That would also explain how the police officer was poisoned. The current theory is that it was in the daughter’s luggage, so it had been hidden there before she left Russia. If that is true there is no UK link and all we are left with is a massive clean-up operation.
Salisbury is near enough to Porton Down to make local access to nerve agents, not exactly impossible.
But it`s not been thought of by the media, and they`ll not look for that. Wrong thing.
And the Russians seem to be handling it all far better than our headless chickens. There are rules and conventions, protocols and something called “evidence” and “allowing third parties to check your conclusions”
But all we get are blusterings re not playing in the World Cup, threats of cyberwars…as if we`d win THAT one.
Holly, I have been led to believe that Julia Skripal flew in from Moscow on the Saturday. If she was the assailant, she might have brought the nerve agent with her or made contact on route to Salisbury with a Russian State agent, or another provider on behalf of gangsters or even – yes – someone else from another State or criminal gang.
For nearly two weeks there doesn’t seem to have been much ‘eliminating from enquiries’ going on, despite the vast numbers working on this case.
RJ, thanks. No mention, amazingly, of that at any time in past 12 days on BBC R4 News in my hearing. It is possible I could have missed it, although such significant information would have usually been run across a whole day or more of News broadcasts. I usually catch two or three a day.
The implication of news 8 days on was that it was done at the table in the restaurant.
Either way, on what we have been allowed to know, once again that does rather make Julia Skripal the likely assailant.
Up2, if she knew what she was carrying it becomes a suicide mission. If she didn’t, it was planted on her disguised as something else and she’s the second victim; with the police officer as the third.
RJ, precisely! (As Sherlock Homes would say to Watson.)
The BBC, that uniquely funded, highly respected, first class news organisation does not seem to ask pertinent questions at all these days. I have loads if they have run out of ideas.
Perhaps they could hand over some of the £3.6bn to us and we can try to get some more information into the public domain.
For example, are one or both of the Skripal’s now conscious and able to answer questions from investigators? If not, when might they be? Are there still considerable doubts whether they will survive? Might they have suffered severe brain impairment?
Not a squeak along those lines from any BBC journalists or presenters in my hearing.
I wonder why?
If they’re conscious I think that’s the last thing we should broadcast to the Russians.
Totally OT, but novel dissent amongst the ranks of the faithful.

I thought the detective was sickened by the nerve agent after going to Skirpal’s house, yet no medics who treated them at the bench were similarly contaminated by it.
Al, not what I heard through BBC News. It was a PC who attended them on the bench (the ‘first responder’) then came the medics.
That suggests skin contact by hand from one or both Skripals > PC as I would have thought that the paramedics would be ‘gloved up’ as a matter of course.
Apparently the Novochocks series tend to decay. We have that bit of info from a chemist on BBC R4 this week. Later responders may have had less chance of contamination because of that.
Given the notion of bioterrorism is not unheard of, and presumably security and health contingencies are developed and practised, the official reaction thus far has been somewhat intriguing.
It may have been taken out of context, but there was a photo shared of a bunch of teletubbies doing CSI stuff in full HazMat gear, with Fireman Sam standing amongst them protected from contagion by little more than a cute grin.
Thanks Guest W, for putting in print the terminology ‘HazMat’ – and now its fairly obvious what it means. Like mis-hearing the words of a song, I’ve spent the past 2 weeks wondering what the quickly garbled word is (I can only imagine what Wogan would have made of it). Its all terribly ‘cool’ to speak in half words and initials; ‘Intel’ is another, and why ‘getting in touch’ has been relegated to the dustbin and replaced with ‘reaching out’ is beyond me !
The police officer who is in the hospital with poisoning is a Detective Sergeant, a surprising ‘first responder’ to a report of two people slumped on park bench on a weekend afternoon.
“It was claimed that the victims—Mr. Skripal and his daugher—were poisoned with Novichok while at a restaurant. Yet how could this have been done? The agent in question is so powerful that a liter of it released into the atmosphere over London would kill most of its population. Breaking a vial of it open over a plate of food would kill the murderer along with everyone inside the restaurant. Anything it touched would be stained yellow, and many of those in the vicinity would have complained of a very unusual, acrid smell. Those poisoned would be instantaneously paralyzed and dead within minutes, not strolling over to a park bench where they were found. The entire town would have been evacuated, and the restaurant would have to be encased in a concrete sarcophagus by workers in space suits and destroyed with high heat. None of this has happened.
In view of the above, it seems unlikely that any of what has been described in the UK media and by May’s government has actually taken place. An alternative assumption, and one we should be ready to fully test, is that all of this is a work of fiction. No pictures of the two victims have been provided. One of them—Skripal’s daughter—is a citizen of the Russian Federation, and yet the British have refused to provide consular access to her. And now it has emerged that the entire scenario, including the Novichok nerve gas, was cribbed from a US/UK television drama “Strike Back.” If so, this was certainly efficient; why invent when you can simply plagiarize.”
Dimitry Orlov
George Galloway on TalkRadio claims that DS Bailey was not even a “first responder” at the scene and in fact had been “imbibing poison” at Skripal’s home.
Which demented RT/Press TV confabulaor is one expected to believe? I have not actually seen Dmitry on RT but I feel in my water that he contributes regularly. It’s strange ever so strange that the conspiracy theorists can’t get their story sttaight. At least the BBC try to lie consistently.
I’m not racist or against immigration, but the MSM can’t hide the fact that increasingly the reported crimes are committed by immigrants or their immediate descendants. It makes me think that this sector of our society is much bigger than we’ve been led to believe.
But I thought the rise in crime was due to “better ways at recording crime” and “reclassification of some crimes”.
They can’t ‘massage’ the names of the perpetrators though…or can they? One way is to say ‘men’ or ‘who cannot be identified/named’..Like the radio star!! any developments there?
Tabs = I think you have hit the nail on the head.
The “better ways at recording crime” every one knows that only white males commit real sexual crimes whereas ROPERS only commit “cultural relativism”
Incidentally I strongly recommend everyone looks at this. It is not BBC relevant but I think this chap speaks a lot of sense to the point that I think I may now join UKIP. It could well be the last hope we have to end this thing relatively peacefully.

Vlad – you missed the 19 year old stabbed to death 3 hours later 3 miles away – I mentioned it my post about a 100 ago as l live near by and get my news from the local rag – al Beeb barely mentions these killings but an 18 year old Egyptian girl gets full coverage although interesting al Beeb says no evidence of a hate crime – whatever the hell that is.
I would have thought killing someone must involve a bit of hate – unless it was a mercy killing …
I just heard this in a summary of the news on BBC Radio 4 about 6.30.
” the German Interior Minister has stated that Islam has no place in German Society “
Are you sure it didn’t say ‘Islam has a new place in German Society’?!!
I’m sure it must have been “Islam has No.1 place in German Society”
Damn – they’ll be banning Norwegians and hand grenades next
Grumbler – I want to believe it is true but seems unlikely. Even if he had said that I expect he will soon be looking for a new job.
Certainly the “brave” Theresa would be the last leader to ever say anything similar (no matter how many white teenage girls get raped) . She is totally inflexible like a frightened, clueless rabbit caught in a powerful hunting lamp and can only carry on running in the same direction until the same dogs she set on others bring her down too.
She is incapable of realising that the ridiculous amount of protection this religion is given is leading to the ruination of our nation, culture and society. But I am sure her dhimmy “elite” friends assure her she is doing the “right” thing for us all.
To complete this destruction/reconstruction of our society Theresa and her globalist sidekick Amber appear now to be installing a more totalitarian system. This is a perfectly natural adjunct to dictators everywhere and I expect these two globalist stooges will soon be congratulating each other on a job well done.
Whether they will be able to keep a lid on things remains to be seen. But what is certain until things are finally settled one way or another there will be many more Rotherhams, Telfords and empty places at the dinner table.
Twitter search is your friend : he did say that
Thanks Stew and my apologies to Grumbler !
I supose tis a case of Germany shutting the door after the ROPER has bolted.
Thanks Germany we all feel so much better now.
Irredeemable.
“If someone does something that isn’t a criminal offence, but the victim, or anyone else, believes it was motivated by prejudice or hate, we would class this as a “hate incident”.
Though what the perpetrator has done may not be against the law, their reasons for doing it are.
This means it may be possible to charge them with an offence.”

Now, indeed the firm does has some female staff, people tried to indicate an article from before the bridge project where a female engineer talks
However that article now has a big disclaimer on
\\ : To clarify, Leonor Flores did not work on the FIU-Sweetwater UniversityCity Bridge project in any capacity. //

Well checked, Sir! I salute you.
This may be a long Thread but so far we seem to be doing better at News here than the BBC.
Must admit this is getting interesting. How long can a thread be before it defeats Hookes Law and is denatured in its elasticity, willingness to bear such sweet(and yes bitter) fruit?
I reckon we`ll get up to 1,250 before it collapses.
@RJ some Councils and Police are tweeting about the day but BBC are not
one charity will be on BBC Radio Derby
ah Sunday first thing, that would be hidden away in the religion show.
…some bodies mark it today
Unlike Suffragette Day and International Womens’ Day there are not mountains of BBC web site mentions
4 locals pages mentioned it in 2015 , and one in 2017
Presumably they’ll get some Jimmy Savile quotes in there!
Has our BBC clearly explained to us why they over represent ethnic minorities to a level far, far beyond their actual proportion in society?
I’m concerned that it could cause resentment among the indigenous population who perhaps feel that they have been excluded by their treasured national broadcaster.
And this of course would never do.
Typical BBC.
A Point Of View had Tom Shakespeare on, correctly moaning about the phrase “going forward”.
He starts with this, but there it ends- nothing about phrases like ” lessons will be learned” “appropriate”, “regrettable” and “religion of peace”. And all those other dog eared cliches from Gramsci College.
Yes folks-what starts as a squauk about abuse of language soon turns to a hymn of praise for Gramsci, and fears on climate change…no obvious connection, but that`s the left for you.
Burn.
More Burn.
Even their mates are noticing how bbc editorial integrity operates.
So Newsnight photoshopped a genuine Corbyn at the Kremlim photo to add a commie hat.
Evan Davis says “yes it was provocative”
and lefties everywhere get their coup t say BBC is biased against Corbyn
“It is something he might have worn” as BBC Directors of Trust and Transparency are prone to using in justification.
Speaking of the Bbc and ‘verite’…

He does seem to feel what he ‘thinks’ is a real persuader; almost as much as his belief the BBC gets it about right.
In fact last night were Newsnight not affording a pulpit to Owen Jones, him having hit twitter to complain that they were failing to get it about left?
Curiously responsive of them.
No. Just preparing the ground for the Kier Starmer coronation.
Think they said it was a “Tory propaganda plot”.
THAT is how delusional they are-the idea that the BBC are “Tory” defies belief, unless you`re Heseltine, Grieve, Soubry, Clarke or Patten. And even then, it`s only under sufferance as long as they might keep us in the EU. Creeps.
Meanwhile…
Worthwhile vid of Douglas Murray debating the virtues (or not) of mosque building.
Feedback came out all guns blazing
“Has the BBC being hiding the Telford story ?”

There is of course the excellent and fair analysis of the bbc investigating the bbc and again finding a bbc employee to say the bbc got it about right.
However, one has to wonder how many people people, especially any with responsibilities for how the public are lead, or misled, watch such programmes much less hear about them.
I would give a lot for a ‘What The BBC Says (Vs. Does)’ debating show. Though I suspect inviting BBC editors outside the warm embrace of W1A may result in a few empty chairs.
And a frequent ‘we asked the BBC to comment, but they declined saying they are exempted, or didn’t wanna… or something’.
They could get Ronni Ancona to read that out in a sneery Warkish drawl.
Meanwhile…
‘And here is the Owen News….’
Maybe he wrote one of those letters to Lord Hall that get delivered, read and responded to within hours, like SurLenny or LordAdo?
They seem proud. Excited even. Clearly Owen’s sulk hit home.
When Ken and Adonis are in, Di they need to hot bunk in the Jones Suites?
Toady watch
I kid you not – al Beeb is putting out a documentary about “ disinformation “ – that must involved a hell of a lot of navel gazing . I think I’ll pass but if anyone does hear it I’d be happy for a debrief .
Al Beeb has turned the Russian stuff into a circus – they are watching the British Ambo go into the foreign ministry in Moscow – live – and waiting for him to come out ( if they don’t kill him of course ) and al Beeb is expecting the tit for tat spy expulsion list .
President Trump serves up revenge as a beauty – sacking a democrat FBI deputy the day before he retires so he don’t get his 20 year pension – very stylish – almost putin like in its vindictiveness . Do admire him greatly . No mention from Sopel yet – he must be frothing at the mouth somewhere.
Lastly
The SNP have come up with a great wheeze of passing a law to allow so called ‘refugees’ to be allowed to bring their families into Blighty. Anyone who disagrees with the proposed law apparently has an ‘empathy bypass’.
Soubry was in full humanitarian mode. Fedup was in full overwhelmed with foreigners mode. Maybe the scots can take all the refugees – there’s only 7 million jocks so why not take a few million of the fuckers . Me – no more refugees – no more peasant foreigners unless they have economic value .
Late update – the British ambo got out of the Russian foreign office alive – for the time being.
Happy st Patrick’s day and God bless Ireland – leave the ReichEU and get the country back.
Today 8pm ..projection city
“Happy st Patrick’s day and God bless Ireland – leave the ReichEU and get the country back”.
I’ll drink to that! I’ve always looked on the British/Irish relationship like that of Richard Burton & Liz Taylor. Couldn’t live with each other but, equally, couldn’t live without each other.
Jag – thank you and happy st pats’ to you too .being a product of an Anglo Irish union I hope I see from both sides.
I notice a friend here mention how the Beeb has “bigged up” an 18 year old Egyptian girl killed in Nottingham whereas in my bit of London 3 young black men murdered in 4 days but little coverage – yes I know it’s gangs but sooner or later decent people will be affected .
Maybe the murders arnt hate crimes so don’t count
That fat-tongued joker Jamie Oliver is back in the news blaming the closure of six of his themed restaurants on “the pressures and unknowns” of Brexit.
Completely unaware of how stupid that statement is, he then goes on to say “Internationally we plan to launch another 22 Jamie’s Italian restaurants with our current partners and are also looking forward to focusing on running and developing further our newly acquired Australian restaurants.”
Ha ha ha
A bit like Lily and bbc crew in Calais and Nick Clegg roving reportering impartially for Newsnight, the bbc plans to revive Jamie’s fortunes by a vast trans global series across his dining empires, using guest food critics like Anna Soubry, Lord Heseltine, Lord Adonis, Ken Clarke, etc.
James O’Brien has been ditched at the last minute as he may have taken insulting the public beyond even bbc comfort levels.
And John Prescott has pulled out early as that is his forte. Apparently. Plus he does not dine anywhere less than five Creosote stars.
Nice one third – You have just cheered my afternoon up’
Blimey brexit upsetting Jamie and Cool Jools.
What a double whammy of delight!
Sorry, I just cant get used to all this ‘transgender’ business. Watching Sky this morning, a newspaper reviewer along with Johnny Goulding was a chap’s voice in female attire complete with shoulder length hair. Mica Marshmello (or something) an energy activist. I know where I am with Grayson Perry, but when a deep male voice wears similar clothes to me then I feel a bit twitchy. Also not sure that’s a real name because the Google version has this ……
SAFETY DATA SHEET MICA* (All Grades) – IGas Energy
Coincidence that Mica and Gas Energy share the same title !
Here we go on Radio 4. The ‘incontinent-laughter’ show, starring Aasmah Mir. Where’s the off button.
Consummately skillful sofa-view from Charlie, Naga and the once brave Maggie Oliver who managed to discuss the disgrace of Telford by mentioning ‘men’ twice and the far harsher and accusative ‘paedophiles’ twice. Not once had any of them the courage and honesty to say ‘asians’, let alone Pakistanis or muslims. Nor had they the courage to publicly recognise that this is not simply sexual abuse, it is religiously inspired subjugation – surely to God someone can see and recognise that simple fact and how deeply dangerous it is to the fabric of our society?
The blanket is without doubt inspired and enforced by government and the police, aided in no small way by the truly insidious number of muslim councillors nationwide, and embraced with enthusiasm and gratitude by the BBC.
Rape Jihad = Terrorism
1111th. Yes! Thats 4 firsts. really. One thousand one hundred and eleventh on this thread. Thats really something. How many can say that? Brissels and Lobster and Down Boy are content with with firsts. Hah! What an outstanding achievement > Gosh I’m so clever.

Accolades welcome
Do calm down Yasser ! pity the poor bugger who was no. 666 !

Scamp.
Times pg 33 @JackMalvern makes this false equivalence from the start
Anti-Islam = racist
‘Despite its ban on #BritainFirst, #Facebook continues to host more than a dozen groups that promote similar messages ‘
BtW that tweet says it has 12 replies, but only 5 show up , BigFiltering ?
The bit before the paywall
\\ After The Times shared details of eight pages with Facebook, the company said that they conformed to its guidelines and would not be removed.
(Yes cos questioning dogma is not racist)
Albion First, which has 10,000 followers, has posted a regular stream of anti-Muslim messages, including an image of white children bowing in prayer with the caption: “Are you happy for your child to bow to Allah?”… //
The article continues to mention posts about Jewish conspiracies.
I’m guessing the article was written by the Hatey no Hopers in an Antifa office.
Then pg 36-37 article critical of “some men’s version of Islam” by Tony Blair’s civil servant Same Louise Casey
She submitted her integration reportedly more that a year ago. She’s frustrated that only now has Theresa started to talk about Sharia and English.
“Some Peoples view if Islam is Misogynistic”
\\ politicians have been afraid to confront segregation//
She mentions the PC approach as flawed
She headed the Rotherham Children’s Services inquiry
\\ horrified about Telford//
“Britain needs to be more confident about its identity”
“The right wing prey upon the disquiet … Same process for Islamic extremism”
She then criticises austerity and JRM
..she’s Tony Blair’s mate.
First
No wait.
Pg35 Helen Skelton’s arse was patted by darts player in 2015 live on TV
Ross Montgomery apologised after after co-presenter Colin Murray complained in behalf of HS who said she felt intimidated and was pregnant at the time.
