    A tweet with pictures contrasting 1967 & Labour’s traditional base with 2018 & the cross dressing Izzard, produces this tweet from Sopel “What a ghastly tweet. It’s 2018. What are you saying here? Why not just say it out loud?
    I Suppose Sopel considers the tweet to be all about some “phobia” or other rather than a valid(?) comment on Labour now being wholly aligned with the metropolitan elite.

        In 1967, Izzard was the five year old son of a middle-class accountant.

    They have a real problem. The growth of the BDS movement particularly in the universities has allowed the easy acceptance of anti Semitism to be seen as legitimate anti Israel behaviour.
    The two things are not at all the same. Anti Semitism predates the state of Israel by hundreds of years and has always been an irrational and destructive force .
    The hatred of Israel has to be heard to be believed. It provides cover and an excuse for things like the wall mural which was straight out of 1930s Germany .
    The atmosphere for Jews has been poisoned in higher education and there is no antidote now. It has now spread to the labour party which is no longer the party of the ordinary working man and has become the party of entitled spoilt middle class children and bitter academics and quangocrats stiffened by on the make trade union leaders. Add to that the endless state employees and you have it.
    Jones and Corbyn are in denial. The other factor we need not mention . It has to do with a new demographic which is mistakenly wedded to this lot.

      If the BBC were proper Journalists they would only have to look a few miles up the road and indeed look at thier own records to find a story of young BME men from the commonwealth who perished in a Lancaster crash less than 2 miles from the BBC studio. This is not to demean the many brave Australians New Zealanders South African and Canadian lads who paid the ultimate. It was very unusual and I would say unique for such a racially diverse crew to serve in a RAF bomber in Europe. So a great story that would have ticked the “diversity” box but sadly due to their incompetence one that sadly will go untold.

      BBC has surpassed it self this morning. Leading off with the notoriously left wing BMA using stats as facts and following with a heart rending Education item on how the lovely teachers are financing kids extra meals ( presumably the reason so many are obese?) All presumably to bury the rumbling Anti Semitism issue plaguing St Corbyn and his cronies. Health Education and the BBC – three sacred cows which could do with a bag of grass not fois gras.

    Countryfile and Horrid Heap up to their usual tricks together with conveniently pre-programmed ‘professor’ and report author urging us to believe that ‘several factors’ are responsible for the decline in hedgehog numbers. Initially equable and unbiased, with the farmers’ viewpoint reasonably put but traffic, modern farming methods and hedge removal ever more significantly promoted. Yes, it was conceded, badgers played a part but not as large as some suggested. Everyone happy, tiggywinkles absolved, enviromentalists vindicated.
    Except, of course, the equation between the drop in hedgehog numbers and massive rise in the badger population was not properly considered. What other predator kills and eats hedgehogs? Er..none. What is the rise in badger numbers since protection in the 1970s? Several million. What is the decline in hedgehog numbers during the same period? Several million.
    BBC Countryfile continues its missionary task – to make the predominantly Tory countryside and its Brexiteer inhabitants increasingly fascist. Luckily Jewish and Russian dwellers remain in the minority.

    Me and Mrs Tabs used to watch Countryfile but not any more for over a year now. We stopped when they turned every farm report into a anti Brexit piece. Now it has gone down hill even more as its just a continuation of BBC liberal policy but with an outdoor theme.

    That’s what frustrates me about the Worboys case. The guy is a monster and should be castrated or tattoed rapist across his forehead yet I can’t help but feel that the media won’t be up in arms when any of the Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford grooming gangs are up for early parole.

    On those occasions, we’re all supposed to have faith in the justice system that their terms have been served and that they’ve been properly reprimanded. If we carried out the same clamour for additional punishment for any of the ‘asian groomers’ we’d be called out for being part of a racist, lawless witch hunt.

    Worboys uncontrollable and individual urges made him do what he did. For the groomers, it’s their very culture that made them do it. In a normal world, that would provide the authorities and society with an easily identifiable target for motive – start coming down on said culture while society mocks the culture through comedy and commentary. But of course, we can’t do this because we are terrified of calling out what is patently obvious.

    So we genuflect towards feminism and MeToo yet abandon our young girls to the evils of an imported culture out of fear.

      Odd isolated weirdo versus it being so acceptable you get your mates and family involved. If Worboys tried to get fellow taxi drivers in on his act they would have beaten the crap out of him and called the Police, rather than either join in or say nothing.

    Never mind that Joshua-Wilder heavy-weight bout, who else hereabouts caught the Owen Jones v Shaun Ley light-weight tug of love over the Labour Party Anti-Semitism thingy?

    You could have knocked either of them down with a feather but for my money the BBC chap had the more elegant style and longer reach, although the boy Jones is clearly the dirtier fighter when caught on the ropes.

    The venue was mid-day BBC News Channel and our northern gay prince of the chavs came out of his pinko corner fighting accusing the BBC of being anti-Corbyn and simply copy and pasting Tory broadsheet reports. Ouch. The boy sure knows how to hit the Beeb below the belt where it really hurts.

    Ley gave about as good as we can expect ducking and diving a bit to maintain his home stable’s renowned precious balance.

    Jones’ predictable tactic – other than to flounce off set – is of course we condemn BUT it’s all a horrible anti-Jezza plot anyway – so look over here there’s all these bigoted racist Toreeez!!

    9pm BBC2 Seth Rich doco, framed as a “Conspiracy Theory”
    … funny how the BBC suddenly has a doco about him.
    6 months before the election, the Podesta emails get leaked, releasing lots of dark stuff about Hillary & her team, the BBC/MSM refuse to cover it , then suddenly Seth Rich a young team Hillary member who probably had access to the emails, get shot dead in an unexplained killing.
    I call that an interesting scenario with a lot of unexplained
    ..today the BBC call it “Conspiracy Files : Murder in Washington”

    Soon, stories circulated on right-wing websites and social media accounts that his murder was no random robbery, that Rich had been behind the leak of thousands of emails that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
    This was untrue*, but Fox News** repeated the claims and now faces a lawsuit from Rich’s family.

    * “Untrue” ? How can you prove such a negative ? Unless its impossible that Seth never had access
    ** Why pick out Fox News, The Washington Times a reputatble Conservative newspaper is also being sued
    ..It’s also the third time NPR says “Dallas investor Ed Butowsky is sued a third time over conspiracy theories linking a Democratic National Committee staffer’s death to the leak of party emails. ”
    There is a difference between an UNEVIDENCED conspiracy theory and an EVIDENCED conspiracy theory
    In Global Warming activists often seek to dismiss skeptics by saying ‘oh all skeptics are conspiracy theorists funded by big oil”, which of course in a big-conspiracy theory itself.

      About 5 mins in something very interesting
      The families lead private investigator goes on TV to make a claim to say he’s spoken to an FBI guy who says that the 50K emails were sent b Seth to Wikileaks
      ..The next day he completely retracts
      Well either he was lying the first time ..say cos he was acting for Republican interests.
      ..or he’s lying the second time ..say cos he was acting for Democrat interests.

          As far as I can see, the reason the BBC has suddenly revealed the Seth Rich murder in this documentary, seems to correlate with recent legal actions against right-wing journalists, caught in false flag fly trap conspiracy theories, put out by the swamp.

          The facts under censorship, and the puzzling mental block on looking for that evidence under offer, would indicate where the truth resides.

      After watching the BBC Documentary, I noticed that the censorship was extensive. Below are just ten points of BBC Censorship.

      (1) The BBC didn’t seem to bother talking to the Police or FBI about the murder, only a right-wing activist focused solely on finding personal fame by trying to work out who murdered Seth Rich.
      (2) The BBC seemed to talk only to a selected group of Democrats and left-wing Journalists.
      (3) The BBC didn’t bother to talk to any Republicans or right-wing Journalists.
      (4) The BBC did not talk to Wikileaks.
      (5) The content of the emails was not mentioned.
      (6) No mention of why former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to go.
      (7) No mention of left-wing puzzlement at why the DNC is protecting Donald Trump by not allowing the FBI to look for evidence of Russian hacking. It may be because they fear that they will find evidence that the emails were given to Wikileaks by Seth Rich, Imran Awan or someone else.
      (8) No mention of Imran Awan who has been charged with fraud and other crimes connected to stealing and selling equipment and classified information.
      (9) No mention of a report by a group of former NSA agents indicating that last year’s DNC “hack” was a leak from inside the DNC.
      (10) Also not mentioned is why is no one interested in Kim Dotcom (Born Kim Schmitz), who is offering to provide evidence to Congress that the emails were given to Wikileaks by himself and Seth Rich, transferring 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments, spanning from January 2015 to May 2016, transferred to Gavin MacFadyen, director of WikiLeaks in London, before May 21, and then WikiLeaks started publishing DNC emails on July 22, 12 days after Rich was murdered.

    Fake news comes in many different forms. It doesn’t have to be a direct lie to qualify; simply publishing a deliberately misleading headline is just as bad.

    The Sunday Times runs with “Ryanair pays men three times more than it’s female staff”

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/business/ryanair-pays-men-three-times-more-rh5fnm0rc

    Then you read the nitty-gritty and see that the reason for this is that the highest paid employees are the pilots and only 1.4% of them are female.
    When you look at the salaries for people doing the same job, men and woman earn exactly the same.

    When are the MSM going to realise that it does their credibility no good to treat us like fools.

    Lenny Henry has been washed up for decades. And he was only moderately funny when he started out. Okay, I raised a smile at his David Bellamy. I may even have managed a chuckle at his Frank Spencer. But that was over 40 bloody years ago. Christ, just lately he’s been about as funny as a severe bout of diarrhea.

      As you know I rattle on about this quite a bit – londonistan is heading for double the number of murders in 2018 against 2017. The predictions made a few years ago that crime would go up quickly as populations grew and changed are coming true .
      Street control is breaking down and I forecast real “ no go areas will form too” where only para military style will operate . Just depends on the inevitable increase in big guns .
      There is a solution but it would be considered too “robust” for people to accept at the moment .
      Those being killed at the moment are tending to be from the same – under- class as the killers.

      When ordinary people are caught in cross fire or as “collateral “ maybe attitudes will change . The albeeb “togetherness” crap will be in full flow by then to reassure / deceive us.

    The BBC really are trying their best to shift us into a parallel universe. BBC One warn me that after the football we have to take our dose of ‘the wimmins football show’ and to compound matters we have a new station ident clip of female boxers, grrrrr! Switching to the News Channel the obnoxious Naughtie makes way for Rebecca Jones to chat with grand Shakespearean Sir Anthony Sher who jokingly regrets he was once refused the role of Cleopatra. The response of the director was apparently “if I give you the part, I’ll have every leading actress in the country lynch me!” Bizarrely BBC girl Rebecca Jones says “times have changed”. Seriously? She thinks an ageing bearded Sher could play Cleo? Not even Carry On Cleo! And I can assure our Rebecca that the wimmins acting union although they might be more than happy to see female Lears, Falstaffs and Prosperos, would surely still frown at a male Cleo. These things tend not to cut both ways, you know.

    London murder rate overtakes New York’s
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-43610936

    ”A spike in violent crime in London saw more murders committed in the city in February and March than there were in New York, figures show.
    So far in 2018, 46 people in London have been fatally stabbed, shot or injured compared to 50 in the US city.”

    46 and 50?
    increased you say…

    ”But, while New York’s rate month-on-month has decreased since January, London’s is on the rise.”

      The beeb are baffled by the sky-rocketing murder, knife and gun crime rates.
      The police too.
      City Hall is ‘deeply concerned’.
      Ex-copper Leroy Logan is ‘devastated’.
      According to him, “Police can’t just arrest or stop and search their way out of this problem, it has to be done in partnership with the communities.”
      I think there’s a clue in that weasel word ‘communities’.
      Reading between the lines, here’s what he’s saying: we all know who’s committing all these murders, but if we adopt sensible tough measures the, ahem, ‘communities’ will kick up a stink and squeal about racism, profiling and victimisation etc. So let’s talk some lefty sociological gobbledygook about ‘holistic’ problems requiring ‘holistic’ solutions, throw more tax-payer money at certain ‘communities’ and do precisely nothing.
      Oh, and they compare NY crime rates, which started going down when? When they dropped all the touchy-feely liberal pc crap and adopted firm-but-fair zero-tolerance. Short term there was the predictable outcry by all those ‘communities’, then things got better.
      It’s hyper-liberalism that got us into this mess, it’s not more of the same that’s going to get us out of it.
      And it’s definitely not coppers painting their nails, mincing around at gay parades or twerking with, erm, members of ‘communities’ to show how cool they are.
      But our copper’s right in one aspect: the police can’t do it alone, there needs to be a nationwide resolve and stiffening of the will, and a willingness to face some uncomfortable truths and voice them.

        Eddy /Vlad, Well another great 1st for London’s First Muslim Mayor as our murder rate outstrips that of New York for the 1st time. He must be a very proud bunny. With a bit of luck we will soon be vying for top slots with cities such as Mogadishu or Karachi. “Over here” appears to be turning into “over there” at a rate of knots.

        Fortunately for us “The Dick” is on the case.
        Apparently Ms Dick is planning more “fact finding” trips to New York.
        Hooray London is saved!
        I wonder what “facts “Cressida will find?

        One “fact ” that I know Cressida will not find is that the “Common Purpose” police officer apparently partly responsible for the mistaken shooting of Charles de Menenez appears to have been promoted beyond her ability. Maybe rather than Common Purpose having the “leading beyond authority” mantra they could change it to “leading beyond ability”

        Personally I blame Tommy Robinson for all of this and hopefully it will not be long before Cressida is able to point out this “fact” to the rest of us. I know I jest but the way things are going – I think purges based on political expedience are only a breath away.

    A couple of stories as reported by the bBC have caught my eye about how they only report what they want to, in which to paint a totally different picture from what actually happened:
    Ofsted school hijab ban stance challenged by teachers’ union

    Reading the above (which the bBC have now changed from its promoting Islamphobia angle) you get the impression of Muslims once again being the victims of…white non Muslims. Yet the school in question St Stephen’s primary school in Newham, east London is predominately Islamic, has an Islamic head teacher and Islamic governors . who after consulting Islamic clerics stated that they will ban any girl under the age from attending if she wore the hijab, which is as directed in the Koran, which states that girls become attractive to men from the age of 9 and thus have to cover up. They also stated that primary school children should not have to fast during Ramadan, which is also written down in the Koran (Actually they state young children) and yet to the left this is a hate crime resulting in the Head teacher receiving hate mail and the Islamic head of governors having to resign. and the bBC doesn’t mention any of this.

    Kashmir: 20 dead and 70 wounded in fierce clashes
    At least 20 people are dead and 70 injured in Indian-administered Kashmir after fierce clashes between militants and government forces on Sunday. Four civilians were killed when police opened fire on stone-throwing demonstrators, AFP news agency reports. Officials in Kashmir say this is the restive region’s worst loss of life during a single day in recent years. Kashmir has been caught in a land row between India and Pakistan for decades and has endured brutal conflict. As well as the civilians, at least three Indian soldiers and 13 suspected militants are said to have died.

    Now here is what the bBC doesn’t tell you, On Saturday India carried a huge security operation. In the ensuring shoot outs they killed 13 terrorists, lost 3 soldiers and 4 civilians got killed in the cross fire. Thousands of Muslims took to the streets in which to try and interrupt the security operation (as they have a habit of doing ) and they were shot with riot guns in which to make them stop attacking the soldiers . Included in the terrorist death toll were 2 men who kidnapped and murdered a army officer last year.

    Yet the bBC does not mention any of that, instead painting a totally different picture about a country gripped by Islamic terrorism

    Now the above link is from India, in case anybody feels they are biased here is how the following countries are reporting this story:
    America:

    Japan

    Iran (Yes Iran)

    The Arabian gulf

    Canada

    Turkey

    Germany:

    All of them report the same story about an Indian security operation which was attacked by Muslim youths wanting to stop them doing so in the middle of a gun fight. Yet for some very strange reason the bBC leaves out all of that information in its report and here is the lead photo for their article:

      What Reduced Crime in New York City
      “The police measure that most consistently reduces crime is the arrest rate… Felony arrest rates (except for motor vehicle thefts) rose 50 to 70 percent in the 1990s. When arrests of burglars increased 10 percent, the number of burglaries fell 2.7 to 3.2 percent. When the arrest rate of robbers rose 10 percent, the number of robberies fell 5.7 to 5.9 percent.”
      During the 1990s, crime rates in New York City dropped dramatically, even more than in the United States as a whole. Violent crime declined by more than 56 percent in the City, compared to about 28 percent in the nation as whole. Property crimes tumbled by about 65 percent, but fell only 26 percent nationally.
      Many attribute New York’s crime reduction to specific “get-tough” policies carried out by former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s administration. The most prominent of his policy changes was the aggressive policing of lower-level crimes, a policy which has been dubbed the “broken windows” approach to law enforcement. In this view, small disorders lead to larger ones and perhaps even to crime. As Mr. Guiliani told the press in 1998, “Obviously murder and graffiti are two vastly different crimes. But they are part of the same continuum, and a climate that tolerates one is more likely to tolerate the other.”
      Source:http://www.nber.org/digest/jan03/w9061.html
      This policy also worked in Singapore where the focus is on stopping the low level crimes and building an atmosphere of self policing. It works but will it be followed? Nah. The beeb would be outraged and launch “anti-Trumpesque” level campaigns to prevent it.

    How many times did the BBC tell us that if only the Police force were more ‘diverse’ crime would fall as ‘communities’ would ‘trust’ them more?

    Lo and behold the force is more diverse than ever and untold amounts have been squandered on ‘diversity’ training and crime is at an all time high. God, imagine how better that money could have been spent? We even have an ultra diverse mayor in charge of the Police – according to leftist logic this would reduce crime to zero.

    The problem was never with the Police but but with the ‘communities’ committing all the crime. Think of all the factors that lead to criminality: culture; poverty; fatherlessness. The colour of the skin of the person arresting you must have little to no affect.

    They talk about a ‘holistic approach’ and ‘partnership with communities’ without ever mentioning the multicultural elephant in the room – it is actually illegal to mention it. Blames social media. They have that in Chichester why no stabbings there?

    The Left cause untold suffering with their reckless policies then pass laws to prevent you from talking about what they have done. Well I am unlikely to get stabbed in a gang war but pity the poor immigrant who wanted to escape such hellishness but sees it replicated here as our leaders do not have a pair of testicles between them.

    Funnily enough, on the day after pipsqueak lefty Owen Jones moaned bitterly that the BBC was following some kind of Tory agenda by covering in its news bulletins the Corbyn Anti-Semitism row, BBC news headlines return to being reliably public sector lefty in nature.

    Slow news day so the BBC falls back on self-generated stuff. Basing their reporting on the lobbying of campaigners we get BBC news telling us the NHS winter crisis will last all year round and then that teachers are worried about the poverty of kids.

    Various figures are thrown around but, would you know it, 2010 and 2015 for some reason are treated as the year zero when all of bad history began.

    The boy Owen will be pleased the BBC is back on track, as will Corbyn.

    But there are small chinks of light (of truth) beginning to show through the cover-all BBC lefty news blanket.

    NHS pressure we hear comes from “an ageing AND growing population” (wow, there’s an admission)

    Teachers are sad to see their undernurished school kids coming to class “with pale faces” (blimey, I’ll wager they don’t really see so many pale-faced school kids in London and many places elsewhere. Many viewers of the BBC will have caught that paradox, I’m sure)

Rather than using the BBC complaints system to send in complaints to the BBC is there a similar system to submit freedom of information requests to the BBC?

    How is the UK “Government” dealing covertly with the public unrest slowly but surely mounting and the associated nationalism developing? Recent history tells us that the most successful police/intelligence agency in the World was the East German Stasi, ‘Stasi’. There’s quite a bit online but here’s an extract which contributors here will find hauntingly familiar. It refers to how the Stasi broke up any forming groups of people that could potentially become a threat to the State.
    http://www.maxhertzberg.co.uk/background/politics/stasi-tactics/
    “Stasi Tactics – Zersetzung
    This post takes a look at the experiences of political activists in East Germany (GDR) who had to deal with Stasi informants and infiltration before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
    The invasive spying and disorientation tactics used by the East German secret police (Stasi) meant there were significantly fewer possibilities for civil disobedience and direct action than political grassroots activists have today in countries places such as Western Europe and North America. Nevertheless political activists in East Germany managed to start a grassroots revolution in 1989.
    The Stasi redefined the military term Zersetzung (attrition or corrosion) to name their harassment tactics: the aim was to disrupt the working of groups and the lives of individuals to such a degree that their activism became ineffective, or more preferably, ceased altogether.
    The aim of the Zersetzung was to ‘switch off’ the group by rendering it ineffective, with an interim goal of hindering any positive media or public exposure. The usual ways to switch groups off were to:
    Create conflict between members – particularly useful subjects for sowing discord were those of a philosophical or political nature, money and personal (sexual) relations;
    Hinder and sabotage activities by the use of one or more infiltrators, who would agree to do tasks, but not get round to doing them, lose materials and equipment, repeatedly request changes and further edits of materials to slow down production, attempt to divert the group into more harmless activities etc;
    Isolate the groups from other activists, eg by spreading rumours regarding unacceptable behaviour and political views etc.

    The choice of tactics was based on psychological profiling and intelligence about the group members, particularly: who plays what role, who fulfills what kind of task; what are relationships within the group like, who hangs out with whom.”

    Spot any familiar features? You bet! UKIP and the first principle above. ‘Britain First’; ‘For Britain’?

      Both are ‘pyramid’ scams to increase public expenditure exponentially.

    Observation of the day

    Using Microsoft Word software just now I notice a dotted red underlining. Bad grammar, a spelling mistake – it does happen. But what’s amiss with my rendering of the word ‘businessmen’ ?

    “Consider using gender-neutral language”

    I’d prefer to police my own speech, thank you.

    Now I’m intrigued and want to find out what happens when I try to use a really bad word?
