    BBC main story that the NHS needs more funding!

    They really should sack all their grossly overpaid ‘news’ staff and replace them with one scene repeating over and over: a black Lesbian nurse complaining about a lack of funding, Brexit and Trump.

    Next story is vote Leave over spending!

    Oh just f**k off. Will their tantrum ever end? Never any ‘outrage’ over all their side’s dirty tricks. How dare Obama and the governor of the Bank of England get involved.

      They certainly don’t need any specialist hacks concentrating on the NHS. All the BBC ever does is broadcast the views of workforce which, of course, in every industry considers itself grossly underpaid.

          No case is ever offered for a smaller NHS / reduced expenditure / lower taxes or departure from “free at the point of delivery”. How about:

          * fatties / drunks / druggies to foot their own medical bills;

          * correction of private sector health treatments (e.g. botched boob jobs): foot your own bill;

          * fertility treatment: foot your own bill;

          * food whilst in hospital: foot your own bill. This could be means-tested;

          * arrived within the UK within last 3 years: foot your own bill.

          I’m sure there must be many more.

    Clever strategy of remainers to plant grasses in the brexit camp during the campaign and then get them to surface during the brexit negotiations . I wonder how many pieces of silver were involved ? Al beeb revelling in it and strangely a brexit political party – labour – want a criminal investigation .

      My initial thought when I saw the headlines this morning was that it seemed little more than a case of “hell hath no fury” which fitted the BBC’s agenda, so of course the BBC would go full on it.

      Before replying to you I thought I’d check the BBC’s news page to read a bit more and see if there was anything to indicate whether my first impressions were wrong or right. Only to find the story has disappeared from sight. That suggests to me that the BBC have realised the story doesn’t stand scrutiny, but they’ve sowed some seeds of doubt and will retire, job done.

      Or perhaps they just feel that the prominent stories now on there of one man tampering with his balls and another having a sick bucket near are of greater global importance.

        It wasn’t my joke at all.

        I was quoting a comment from the Jewish Chronicle and said so in the comment Geedo removed.
        The point I was making should have been fucking obvious.
        Jews were not offended by the pug video. They made jokes about it.
        I thought it was a clever joke. Pug behaves like a Nazi and gets ptomoted to a German Shepherd.

          I seem to get in boiling water sometimes when I post here – I made a comment once about the Londonistan mayor being the son of a bus driver – something he had pushed out during his campaign – and got slagged for demeaning bus drivers .

          Someone called’ purdy” slagged me because I described Londonistan as a place to avoid because it was dangerous – ‘ apparently I am ‘full of bile” when I thought I was just saying it at it is

          I’m still looking forward to being called a ‘digrace’ By a semi regular poster who is often on the night shift.

          In short – free speech is more important than offending people.
          If someone is offended – bloody live with it.

    I’ve decided that my childhood and teenage years in the 50’s and 60’s were definitely the happiest years. Not least because I’m living in times whereupon listening to the news and reading the media, everyone is either angry or has ‘issues’. Whether its being pissed off with Brexit, petitioning the Government about some ‘wrong’ that needs righting, every bugger is ‘offended about something, wrong doing is blamed on mental health illnesses, people getting arsy because they are born in the wrong body – so there’s no pleasing them at all, today I read that Frank Gardner is angry because the staff at Heathrow didn’t get his wheelchair to the plane in quick enough time – these things happen Frank. Someone called A Girl Named Jack has taken JK Rowling to task about a tweeted comment. Jesus, that’s what I mean, its as though people aren’t getting on with their lives, but trawling through social media waiting to pounce on the slightest thing that might ‘offend’. That’s the trouble now, – things happen, but society has to blame someone or sue. Its nuts !

    Ok we weren’t privy to all that was going in in the 60’s, and yes we did get anxious about the threat of nuclear war happening at any time, and we all sniggered at the Profumo Affair, and cheered when we could take control of our bodies with the Pill, but in the main we sallied through the decade certainly without all the angst of the past miserable 20 years.

      Leftists are unhappy people. The collective noun for a group of Leftists is a winge of Leftists. The generation you are talking about were grateful to have survived the Second World War. Every new day was a bonus. Leftists are narcissists.

      What makes them dangerous is that they are malignant narcissists. It is not enough that their boundless demands make them unhappy (they are big babies and will always be unhappy – until they grow up and have to think about others), it is the thought (this is their essential selfishness) that somebody else might be happier than they are which torments them.

      They want to make everybody in the world as unhappy as they are – which is all egalitarianism amounts to in the end.

        Yes, you are right Wild; there was very little whingeing either. Like it was a given that we went to work, no question, we just found a job and did it. We played hard too, ok we smoked (few knew the dangers) but the drinking ‘culture’ was non-existent. The drugs scene was mainly confined to pop groups and (we assumed) fast living types who lived in London (yes, naïve I know), and Hire Purchase was about as far as credit went in those days, so we had to save for anything we wanted. There was half day closing for shops during the week, all were shut on Sundays, and Christmas started on Christmas Eve. Of course life wasn’t all a bunch of roses, but we lived in a happier place.

The whole report was obviously carefully worded, slightly slower speaking and carefully enunciated. An explanation that there are pockets of antiSemitsm within the Labour Party. Explanation that previously Corbyn had just apologised. What they didn’t say is that Corbyn is at the centre of the antisemitism and when his history is examined is seen to be part of the problem.

    “It would be an admission of abject failure, a view of our politicians, of our leaders, of our establishment that we were not fit, that we were too craven, that we were too weak to be able to govern ourselves and that therefore we had to go crawling back to the mighty bastion of power that is Brussels,” he will say in a speech on Tuesday.

      I would guess that they will mention it briefly but will frame it in a totally different way to that of the march’s intentions. It will be something like “A march against anti-semitism which has got worse due to the rise of the far-right”.

      Or, if they mention Labour it will be “perceived anti-semitism in the Labour Party, which was disproved by a thorough investigation led by the highly-respected Lady Chakribati”.

      However they do it won’t be anything to do with the real purpose of the march because the “anti-Zionists” (new name for anti-Semites) at the BBC who are Cobynistas to a man, woman or any other invented gender do not accept that there is anything wrong with that strand of bigotry.

      It will then be relegated to a low spot on their London regional news and forgotten quickly.

      Good luck with the rally.

Its shameful this is happening at all, and it all seems to be swept under the carpet as far as the media is concerned, but if say a Muslim faith school in Luton was under siege regularly there would be wall to wall coverage on the rolling news. Children anywhere in the world should be going to school without fear of attack or being gunned down.

    ‘Why is this news’? asks Dr Sebastian Gorka, puzzled, of Justin Webb and the BBC R4 on Toady this morning.
    Welcome to the BBC, Dr Gorka. They want to unseat an elected President. A publicly-funded organisation, force-financed by UK licence-fee payers. Pretty immoral, I think.
    Yesterday it was the insinuated Facebook/ Cambridge Analytics thing. Today it’s a porn star. As usual, the BBC will pick up anything they can lay their hands on from anti-Trump US media (CBS in this case).
    Justin is trying to equate Stormy with the Monica Lewinski affair. Sebastian Gorka is pointing to many, highly relevant and significant differences, ‘even if anything did happen’. eg that Clinton WAS president at the time and WAS in the White House.
    But Justin doesn’t care about the facts. This is a bid of fake news Justin is running cos he’s hoping that mud sticks. After all, this must be about the fiftieth anti-Trump story by the BBC since his election. And when it comes to Trump, Webb is a professional mud-thrower.
    BBC are hoping that they ca simply accumulate enough stories for people to say ‘There is smoke…’
    This incessant anti-Trump campaign by the BBC is no longer reporting news. It is something far more sinister and unethical…
    How much longer must licence-fee payers pay for this?

      I don’t think our Justin liked the challenge about that immoral fool – Hillary’s husband getting a blow job from a 20 year old intern in the Oval Office with a private citizen banging a tart 10 years ago.

      Enjoying (allegedly) the contractural services of a mature professional is, one might suggest, a bit different to using an intern subordinate’s la-la as a humidor.

      But this is the BbC, who gave Lord Creosote of Temple Mount a free ride, as it were, even as bbc staff camper vans were being hosed down in the car park.

      Justin seems a bit silly.

        I agree.

        There are 3 angles to the story, so something to dismay a variety of audiences:

        1. Married Trump was unfaithful to his wife: he’s an adulterer (dismay Christians and the moral majority);

        2. Trump had sex with a prostitute: he’s sleazy (ditto);

        3. Trump (or people acting on his behalf) tried to keep the story out of the news by paying (and perhaps threatening) the prostitute to keep quiet. This fits with the whole Facebook / Russia / Cambridge Analytica spiel (dismay SJWs).

        IMVO Trump has missed a trick here. Now that he’s been elected, he should put his hands up and admit that – yes – 10 years ago when his marriage was going through a bad patch he gave in to temptation and had consensual sex with this beautiful young woman. He regrets it now but as POTUS there are more important things that he is focusing on right now.

        And anyway, it’s not like he had some 20 year-old intern blow him off in the White House then lie about it afterwards, like Hilary’s husband did.

    A beauty – the 0810 piece about A rich man called Trump banging a porn star 10 years ago – fortunately seb gorka? Ripped the story apart and left our Justin blubbering

    Followed by Robinson going after the Brexit campaign for doing its job to get us out of the EUreich . New ballot please . Al Beeb wants us to get the right result next time. Apparently the remainer whistle blower is a paki and queer – which his mum has only just found out ( the latter that is ).

    Robinson interviews the new French ambo about the murder of 4 people by a Muslim terrorist in the name of that evil belief without mentioning Islam or Muslim in the 9 minutes the interview lasted .

    The ambo mentioned that it is Holy Week and the police man was murdered as he replaced a hostage and did something Our Lord commanded his followers to do. I bet the satanists running al Beeb listening winced at that one

    Then some dead politicians’ sister – whose brother in law is a sex pest – babbled on about negativity … bit rich for using a word like that on ‘al beeb’. The woman sounded like she’s after a peerage so she can sit with princess Doreen of Lawrence Who Can Say No Wrong .

    You couldn’t make it up.

    The BBC has a page of those suffering from autism. In the 1990s, Autism was discovered by scientists at Cambridge University to be an extreme form of the male brain. Sadly they had to sit on their findings for almost ten years to avoid censor from feminists and leftie thugs.

    So the BBC do a page on women with autism, I guess males, the vast majority of sufferers, just don’t count.

    Well, at least the Today programme has partially covered the scandal of anti-Semitism that is rife within the Labour Party, and given some air-time to leading Jewish organisations (who have been silent for too long). But it is remarkable (not) that no mention at all was made of Chakrabati’s infamous whitewashing report, after which she was swiftly made a Corbyn Baroness.

    24 hours old but I’ve been busy: Radio 4, Sunday morning yesterday about 9am. Woman with an Asian accent – whose name I missed – was talking about the popularity of “feel good” literature.

    In these dark times, in which the regressive forces of hatred are on the ascendant (I paraphrase), people are turning to frothy novels to cheer themselves up, she said.

    But that’s not what literature is for, she went on.

    No, we should be reading more books like the one she herself had been enjoying reading, about a German academic and some Afghan migrants…

    At this point my hand started reaching for the switch.

    …and whilst the academic had been kind to the migrants that had not been enough to offset the meanness of the German state towards them, and the fact that the migrants had lost absolutely everything…

    BP starts to come down.

    If Al Beeb had a functioning light entertainment department these people would be being lampooned. But on and bloody on it goes.

    Northern children ‘too often left behind’, says commissioner

    Too many children growing up in the north of England are facing the double disadvantage of entrenched deprivation and poor schools, a report warns.

    England’s Children’s Commissioner Anne Longfield says children from poorer homes face an education gap that starts before school and widens over time.

    The BBC could have interviewed any three children from the North of England so who did they interview? Three Muslims: Tiseana, Hafsah and Qasim.

    No in depth analysis offered to a problem such as “too many children start school far behind where they should be, often with special educational needs that have not been picked up”. If I were to have a guess at the problem I would say inbreeding producing low IQ disabled children cannot be helping.

    Another problem of “large numbers of children drop out of education before they reach the age of 18” means these kids are not going to be engineers, doctors and architects then?!?

    Everywhere Islam goes it leaves a shithole behind with its enrichment.

      Hang on, hardly a day goes by without someone on this site sneering at Londonistan, where education has improved.

      Immigration plays a part, obviously, but so does class. Too many in the North (and yes, parts of the South) still see education as something which is done to them instead of for them, or something which is the sole responsibility of the state.

      I taught for several years in a very modest private school in Yorkshire and, even there, the “I want value for my brass” attitude was used by some parents as an excuse for absolving themselves of any responsibility.

      Interestingly, parents from SE Asia, and Hindus and Sikhs from India, don’t seem to be afflicted in this way.

        Good point, rt.

        I think much of the concern over ‘Londonistan’ comes about because of the current Mayor and his public statements and the obvious strange disconnects on things like his budget responsibilities and crime & firefighting. Add transport and air quality into the mix and you can see why there is much disquiet here, almost none of which – I think – is really directed at the education of Londoners and the results achieved.

      I had the top comment for first 2 hours on the BBC Have Your Say article. I posted:
      What exactly is “deprived communities”? You make your community yourself.

      So many of these “deprived communities” have people from certain ethnic minorities. Are they attracted to those deprived areas or are they making that area into a deprived one?

      The Nazi moderators have removed my post because it broke a house rule of “Are considered likely to disrupt, provoke, attack or offend others. Are racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, abusive or otherwise objectionable. Contain swear words or other language likely to offend”.

      The fact that over 30% of posters up voted my post to the highest rated comment is irrelevant to the BBC. It’s not the narrative they want people to hear.

      I’m about to appeal it – what little that will do!

        I got an answer to my appeal asking why it was removed. The full text of the BBC appeal is below…
        ——————————————
        Thank you for contacting the BBC.

        Your comment is considered offensive.

        In this instance we believe that it was the correct decision to remove your comment and so we will be unable to uphold your appeal.

        ——————————————

        I couldn’t let that go so I have asked what their definition of “offensive” means. Is it…
        a) suggesting any person can improve their own community?
        b) mentioning “certain ethnic minorities” in a negative way?
        c) suggesting a community may be made worse by people?

        Within 5 minutes I get an answer back (getting quite chatty now!)…
        ——————————————
        Thank you for contacting the BBC.

        Your question suggests that either way certain ethnic minorities are responsible for causing deprived areas which is offensive.

        ——————————————
        I’ve replied…
        So you think “certain ethnic minorities” ALWAYS make an area the same or better then?

        Can I mention the VAST majority of terror attacks are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.
        Can I mention the VAST majority of acid attacks are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.
        Can I mention the VAST majority of insurance fraud are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.
        Can I mention the VAST majority of rape of underage white girls are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.
        Can I mention the VAST majority of London stabbings are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.
        Can I mention the VAST majority of 1st cousin marriages leading to disabled children are carried out by “certain ethnic minorities”? Is that offensive or is it factual.

        The BBC have got to such a low point in reporting facts that you have become a laughing stock. It is NOT OFFENSIVE to state FACTS.

    I think this figure, whatever it is post the last Census, is totally wrong. Judging by a Lithuanian I observe, she does not honestly complete the Census form and fails to disclose her Lithuanian male cohabitee. And has done so for over 5 years. Due to the empty Government threat: “It is a legal requirement to provide the information requested. If you don’t you could be fined £1000”, there is no interest in pursuing a fine at all. Ditto all the rest from goodness knows where and it can be seen just how massive the Government’s figures are likely to be completely wrong.

    The things they say

    The retreat from serious scientific scrutiny continues at the BBC at almost every level. Radio 5 Live had an item this morning on the suggested discovery of a statute of the female Egyptian pharaoh Hatshepsut. Promoting the rather chopped and battered find and plugging the Egypt Centre at Swansea University, was staff member Dr Ken Griffin. There was a lot of “I thinks” and “mights” in discussing the provenance of the piece, but this is not uncommon in dealing with antiquities. The presenter Sam Walker was content to let it all pass and asked nothing of interest to help establish Dr Griffin’s claims. But then the whole show was leading up to the punchline. Noting that establishing provenance was helped by a “handling” session with Swansea students, Ms Walker added:

    “And it was all on International Women’s Day”.
