Talking of irony, yesterday Kamel Ahmed used his best analytical techniques to prove that wages were still rising more slowly than inflation. Today inflation drops from 2.7% to 2.5% (wages currently rising at 2.8% – all pa figures).
This month is the first time in many years that the wage data has been released the day before inflation rather than the day after.
They do it to anyone who challenges their narratives,
whether it is Global Warming, Anti-fracking, Anti-nuclear, OpenBorders, Anti-capitalism, Israel etc
– They monster people in the same way the Nazi’s monstered Jews
“’EU Parliament member Soraya Post has called for political parties that criticize mass immigration to be banned in Sweden.’”
No she didn’t. She called for the banning of organisations that advocated Fascism, Nazism and Racism. You might well disagree, but “Infowars” has spun that into *anyone criticising mass immigration*; and poor gullible saps, such as yourself, believe every word.
I don’t listen to Alex Jones. I have read many of G’s comments and have found them very sensible and informative. No need for name calling, Maxi.
I read some years ago when Blair or Brown was in charge that the future laws would try and make it illegal to criticize immigration.
That is now coming to fulfillment. The May/Rudd regime is cracking down on people coming into the country who have conservative views on the topic. The ‘hate speech’ laws are being expanded to a level of ridiculousness not only in Britain but in Western Europe in a desperate attempt to clampdown on any challenge to the ‘Great Replacement’ project. The best example of this is Sweden where the liberal establishment has been having talks with media outlets to get them to restrict coverage of non PC points of view especially as , horror of horrors, the people may vote for the parties they shouldn’t.
This is what is going on Maxi! The dogs in the street know it, for gods sake! This is the direction everything is head and the goal is not far away. To quibble about the wording of G’s source Alex Jones is disingenuous to put it mildly. The MEP in question is hardly likely to come out with a blunt statement saying “I am calling for the stifling of free speech so we can win all elections forever. This is politics! You wrap it up differently. That’s in order to progress your agenda incrementally and so people don’t cotton on to it or the endpoint.
I was a Red/Green activist for a dozen years. I know how they think.
And one of their tactics when confronted with something they couldn’t handle was to look for something in the wording, however small, that they could use to deflect attention from the main point.
I can also tell you that the Red/Green movement is totalitarian.
So Alex Jones is quite right in reality. That is what they are aiming for. See through the hogwash, Maxi, don’t be so gullible.
Yasser, maxi doesn’t yet realise that anyone not conforming to the strict, increasingly Hard Left/Hard Right beliefs on the EU, migration, Global Warming, etc, is now AUTOMATICALLY treated as a racist and a Nazi and a Fascist. He hasn’t worked out the obvious contradictions and hypocrisy in so doing but he may get there one day.
“She called for the banning of organisations that advocated Fascism, Nazism and Racism” pray tell me, what is the corollary of that? It is to label and ban everything and everybody that rejects multiculturalism. Grow up or develop some sort of ability to mentally extrapolate objectively.
@G see how Maxi accuses Infowars of misrepresenting , and then does exactly that himself.
He said ” She called for the banning of organisations that advocated Fascism, Nazism and Racism” (and then she named those parties)
I’d guess they’d assert they are not racist and they are certainly not advocating “Fascism, Nazism” ..so that is the trick of misrepresenting people with a “boo-word” to shut them down
BBC wales web site proudly says: BBC Wales gets keys to new Cardiff Central Square HQ
“The £100m building at the site of the former bus station is part of Central Square, a development that will include one million sq ft (92,903 sq m) of office, residential and retail space.”
Sadly for the BBC, the comments section doesn’t share the BBC’s enthusiasm for this breath-taking new work of art and technology. Some unkind people want the old bus station back. Still, as the BBC says, it cannot satisfy everyone.
Ironic that the BBC preaches diversity yet keeps doing WHITE elephant projects.
In Wales, which is the least Welsh place and most English ?
Central Cardiff is lib-land just Central London, central Salford.
The lib-establishment are a dominating tribe lording over the rest of us.
They are our colonial masters.
The ATM at my local Sainsburys gives me the option to have the screens in English or Welsh.
Now given that the vast majority of Welsh themselves speak English nearly all the time (try the pubs in Cardiff or Swansea on a match day for instance, rugby or football) and given that I live in England where absolutely no-one speaks Welsh, then what the fuck are they playing at? Political correctness gone stark staring bonkers.
BBC not reporting on Labour’s anti-semitism (New Nasty Party – order-order.com) but have to report on the papers … also, Sweden has a hand grenade problem (NTDWOBOMI) … Nothing To Do With Open Borders Or Mass Immigration ….
Do we have a ‘Far-Right’ in the UK? I’m struggling to name a single group that fits the description. Maybe we are all far-right now, compared to the current orthodoxy.
BBC are hiding it on the main page with a main title “We will not be bullied out of politics” … no mention of anti-semitism or Labour … click on story and “MPs given standing ovation after anti-Semitism speech” … completely different title … BBC £3.5bn Omission News Service ….
As the weather seems to be improving and the garden is demanding attention, the idiot box is being disconnected from the aerial. We can’t stand it any more. We might reconnect it if full scale war breaks out.
One more news item along the lines of “May apologises following evidence that Boudica dissed black Roman soldier”, and I’ll smash the damn thing.
If MP David Lammy is your MP then please ask to see his bicycle tomorrow … paid by the UK citizens with his MP expenses costing £650 … demand that he rides it for at least one day … save the planet …. reduce pollution … save the children’s future … use MP expenses wisely … #DavidLammy650BikeDay19April2018
I’ve a feeling that Santa mis-delivered it. Or maybe he felt that Mr Lammy had been a naughty boy and gave it to someone more deserving? I can think of at least 60 million.
Timid Tories.
A council candidate in Hackney has been suspended by the Conservative Party for anti-Muslim posts on social media, the Citizen can reveal.
Alexander van Terheyden, standing for the Conservatives in Hoxton West, has called Islam a “violent political ideology” comparable to fascism and communism, and recently attended a rally headed by the former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.
He has also called the UK’s refusing entry to alt-right activists who target NGO ships rescuing migrants a “disgrace”, and said the crusades were “simply a response to Islam spreading through Europe by the sword”.
PS. I am aware that this is not about BBC bias. But the beliefs shared by those Tories who rejected this candidate are essentially those of the BBC and the BBC’s Prime Minister
The article has open comments
Alexander van Terheyden himself posted
I attended a Free Speech Rally in London’s Hyde Park – The Hackney Citizen is a cowardly Marxist publication that clearly doesn’t like people speaking freely
– luckily I made a video of that day at Speakers Corner weeks before this Pro Labour Article was published.
There are coupe of Hatey no Hopers commenting also
“Transvestite” (when it suits)
“Wears lipstick” (when it suits)

London is an irrelevance to me.
I don’t see it as a part of my country. It is completely alien to me.
Thank god I live miles away from that toilet of a city.
The wife and I went to Wembley to visit some relatives, we dropped in at Ikea. I might as well have been in Mogadishu,Nairobi or Timbucktoo. It certainly wasn’t England.
If people had not treated my “toilet” of a home town in the Midlands as an irrelevance decades ago, we might be in a better state now. We never had half the resilience that London has.
It’s been “I’m All Right Jack” for years, particularly in rural areas – virtue signalling about tolerance before the phrase had been coined. Now the chickens are coming home to roost the length of the country, as Rob in Cheshire warns, below.
Mr or Ms Izzard doesn’t stand a chance. He or she is a white, transgender comedian. Thse are all the things which muslims don’t vote for, and the muslim vote is what gets the likes of Mayor Khan elected.
London is lost already. Fools like Eddie (or Edie) Izzard just don’t get it. The seventh century is coming for you. It’s coming for us all. There is going to be a reckoning, and I feel it will come sooner than any of us think.
“London is lost already. Fools like Eddie (or Edie) Izzard just don’t get it. The seventh century is coming for you. It’s coming for us all. There is going to be a reckoning, and I feel it will come sooner than any of us think.”
And yet London is the most tolerant city in the whole of the UK; which is why so many people want to live here and perversely why you dislike it so much.
Yes sticking knives into people and throwing acid into faces is really a sign of tolerance and affection. Those old fuddy-duddy whites who just refuse to take on the new values of ‘The Enrichment’ are just racists and fascists.
Great Going Maxi. Sock it to us.
Twisting again, Maxi.
The point I was making was that London has a huge knife crime problem. Fact. It is growing. So what the hell is tolerant about that?
The only tolerance is from the police it seems to me.
You switch the conversation to an out of context quote from another writer to imply they are racist.
Raheem Kaseem described London as a S–thole on TV. Is he a racist?
Maxincony: “yet London is the most tolerant city in the whole of the UK”
Hi Maxi, what part of London are you from? Remember London has grown to encompass numerous towns (Brixton, Lambeth, Southall, Walthamstow, Barnet, Richmond, Purley, Croydon …)
“Tolerant” ?
The Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper defined the “Paradox of Tolerance” as follows:
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them… We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
That form of tolerance?
If I ever had any gender confused boys in my class, I`d certainly show them a picture of Eddie Izzard.
This is not a good look.
And why aren`t we suing him for cultural appropriation or mocking us in a misogynist parody of what we are?
Totally sexist maan!
Watching the sequence of events surrounding this “Windrush” matter
You begin to wonder if the bBC has co-ordinated the entire matter?
1) The sheer timing to coincide with the Commonwealth meeting
2) Lammy in the Commons followed by Virtue Signalling central ( e.g Pixie Balls, Abbott etc.
3) Let’s get Rudd…..campaign
It seems clear bBCr agenda is to showcase our country in the most negative of manners.
PS I hope Sir Cliff wins……….and there is a Licence Tax payers revolt that we should pay not a single a penny………….they can take the fine out of their vast array of talent and high earners…. salaries.
“PS I hope Sir Cliff wins……….and there is a Licence Tax payers revolt that we should pay not a single a penny………….they can take the fine out of their vast array of talent and high earners…. salaries.”
Yep !
Over to you maxi……..
I also hope Sir Cliff wins. If ever there was an outrageous invasion of privacy, the publicly-broadcast footage of gloved coppers rifling through his (desk) drawers, when he was only a ‘suspect’ must be it. So much for an Englishman’s home, etc.
Instinct tells me that the cosy arrangement between the constabulary and the bBc must be outside the law (spirit, if not letter).
Public interest? Garbage. ‘We will demonstrate how powerful we are by bringing you a little scoop by helicopter. So do be careful, our eyes could be anywhere…’
Be great if Cliff delivered the BBC a mortal blow that would go gangrenous as we watched.
The BBC are without excuse, they muscled in on “Corporate Communications” at South Yorkshire police.
After Hillsborough-did they decide to big an even bigger wormhole to drop their scandals like Doncaster and Rotherham into?
Who`s this Dan Johnston anyway-and is he still at the BBC? Need I ask?
Clean `em out out, Cliffie babes!
Possibly a 28-gate type meeting
Where Alastair Campbell headed a table, with Labour activist Home Office Workers, some BBC journos, professional race-baiters like Lammy etc. in order to hatch this Windrush plot.
Remember it was Labour that destroyed the embarkation cards back in 2004
Noted in the New European that Campbell is man-marking Bojo with his vile putdowns , whereas Bonnie Greer is trying to get Quentin Letts removed from public life.
Not only did we moan at a talentless black luvvie getting jobs above his talent deserves( wonder why SHE`D be bothered?)-but he`s been disobliging about “climate change”.
Burn him…using sustainable fuels though.
Basically, these serial nasties of the left seem to have picked their targets to take down because they can. Damien Green and Michael Fallon, Andrew Mitchel and other wasters maybe?
But unlike Campbell, Greer etc-they got elected for something.
Why can Campbell still walk our streets and terraces? hasn`t he a Community Psychiatric Order that some Brexiteer could trigger for us all?
R4 now prog about Sikh turbans on 1969 Wolverhampton buses
Surprisingly straight at the start they admit race-baiting
The narrative is that a Sikh bus driver suddenly had a religious awakening and asserted he MUST wear a turban
Actually a ORTHODOX* Sikh organiser had recently won Sikhs the right to wear the turban at the Goodyear factory, so he decided to push the campaign further to the buses, but none of the bus drivers wanted to force the issue.
So he gets his son to get a job at the us company and be the one to initiate the campaign
He went as far as threatening burn himself to death in protest.
* only 15% are orthodox and wear turbans
Wow the founder of the turban campaign Mr Sandhu was a fan & personal friend of Enoch Powell
‘I was in the Conservative Party before then, and then Enoch Powell helped cousins of mine get visas to study in the UK, he was not a racist’

BBC Inclusivity rules : All shows must be inclusive,
no shows shall be on the basis of excluding people who are not white-men
EXCEPT it’s OK to make shows which deliberately EXCLUDE white men
eg :
– BBC (South) Asian Network
– R4 Womans Hour
– BbcWS – The Conversation for BME-women
– VictoriaLive on BBC2
– BBC podcast : Fi and Jane
– The “How to fit in a WHITE world” podcast
Also
– Radio Bristol’s black only show
..Isn’t Radio1Extra basically a non white network ?
On top of all that there are a whole series of non-BBC private TV/radio channels which cater exclusively to non-white ethnicities.
Stew- the idea of an ‘Asian’ network alongside everything else is an odd one, if we are all one big, happy, integrated family.
(So is ‘woman’s hour’; try to imagine R4 presenting a ‘men’s hour’…)
The Asian network seems to resemble ‘Apartheid’ thinking: all ethnic groups get their own ethnically-based programmes? I haven’t listened to R1X, but it sounds as if it could be the same.
Paying for more Gender Inequality …. Cost of TV licence will rise by £3.50 to £150.50 a year from April 1
* Annual fee for BBC programming increased for the first time since 2010 in 2017
* Government announced it would rise in line with inflation for a five-year period
* Announcement comes as corporation faces scrutiny over gender pay inequality
PMQ s pop corn time. Brillo tipping a new one for a Tory minister over the West Indian comedy of errors.
I have said here before that when you realise that the people running Blighty arnt exactly the sharpest knives in the box it makes sense. Too much effort on arse covering, not being accused of racism and passing the buck whilst climbing the greasy pole ( make your own image out of that ). If Corbyn doesn’t flatten the soon to be not PM and her Home Sec then the allotment calls for him. Al beeb will have a field day even more than already .
Anybody tell me how Harriet Harman has not been hounded out of office for her outrageous and nasty anti-Semitic “joke” on Andrew Neils show last November?
AND-if you see her book, Neil prevented her from saying an even MORE vile one about Pakistanis that she passes on in her autobiography.
And the likes of Alibiah Brown and Adonis rali about Enoch Powell from FIFTY years ago?
Powell would NEVER have made such disgusting comments, especially on live television and freely to be read in her autobiography of only six months.
What`s wrong with us-why can`t we get her kind hounded out of office? WE use Twitter too don`t we?
I’ve not had a TV Licence since the end of September last year. What have I lost and / or what have I gained? Start the latter. I’m finding myself becoming more calm and collected when I watch YouTube which takes up most of my viewing time. I can select what and whoever I wish and I focus, in the main, on the Worlds best thinkers to best understand the appearance of madness that surrounds us. Last nigjht, I had a ‘Sir Roger Scrutton’ night. Highly recommended. I refer to being more calm and collected. This is derived by the common sense uttered by the likes of Scrutton and Jordan Peterson. It leaves one thinking that one is not alone (apart from this blog naturally) when surrounded daily by increasing nonsense. There are others who I listen to avidly. What have I lost in not viewing regular TV? Its that nonsense again. Apart from a bit of RT, all channels simply bolster and magnify the nonsense we are surrounded by which was making my blood boil by the feeling of helplessness. Not only that, I’ve saved £145 in the bargain.
G
I think you have a point . I was trying to think what is achieved by this site. Letting of steam, the occasional laugh, knowing there are shared views … but apart from that….? Or maybe I should just accept it . Apart from not paying the TV licence and rationing al beeb there doesn’t seem to be much to be done . Sorry – mini rant .
I too am taking this up, now I`ve no telly.
Feet up, rose in the fridge, Doritos at the ready.
Got a Thomas Sowell night lined up, Enoch Powell this weekend. Mark Steyn and the usual prize guys and girls until I`m full of it all.
Scruton in a few weeks time I`m sure, our last true intellectual bar none. He`s good enough to honour Eagleton and Gray from th left as well, unlike all his opponents.
AND a Judge Jeanine/Ann Coulter double header booked for May Bank Holiday too! Might bring the girls in for that one.
The liberal/ left BBC found to their consternation that the BAME were not a homogenous all think as one group , that many were against further immigration and for Brexit .
Time for a shakeup by the Gramscis . They’ve done the throw out the Phillipino nurses , the doctor who had his papers mislaid , the Canadian / Australian etc woman in her sixties who didn’t even know she was Canadian etc , the American who wants to be with his wife but there is a visa glitch and numerous others . Throw them out , throw them out . That’s what a tough immigration policy looks like , Daily Mail reader . Heartless and sometimes against our national interest . Is that what you want ?
Well that’s what we’ll show the indigenous population . But what’s this ? The BAME ” community ” have refuseniks too ?!
OUR client base victim society aren’t all aboard the good ship Lollipop to socialist utopia , this will never do . Time for some shock tactics to bring all to heel . Throw out or threaten to some of ” their own” . Now see what a rigorous immigration policy does . It hurts you and your kith and kin . Reject it . Embrace our ideals , stay with us , let us guide you . Keep tuned to the BBC .
It’s a long post because the details are important. I’ve filed the post and will read it again because of those details. The Executive Summary would be that the BBC have colluded with Bryant and Collins in another attempt to smear Leave voters.
“We have a political class that solves secondary symptoms. It is like going to a body racked with disease and solving a skin inflammation. This is a magnificent problem of our time.” – Douglas Murray
To say that they are all cowards is to acknowledge that they are all on the same side, but too afraid to fight.
Perhaps it is not cowardice which unites them against us, perhaps they are well rewarded for treachery.
Has Murray considered this?
Stephen Sackur will have to take care with door handles. He follows our Defence Sec in needing lessons in politeness according to Capo Lavrov. Lavrov took exception to Sackur’s lack of respect, interrupting answers in the “Hardtalk” interview.
It never ceases to amaze me how pig-ignorant and ill-mannered most of these BBC lot are. If us working class oiks had spoken to anyone like that when we were kids, we wouldn’t have sat down for a week.
lib-media obsessed about Iceland supermarket’s
campaign to BAN palm oil from own brand
Now it turns out that young CEO has been ignoring staff complaints that the corp is routinely ignoring cold-chain rules that say refrigerated products are not left out of fridges more than 2 hours
Stuff like milk is often unloaded from the lorry and left for 18 hours.
And that has important hygiene implications.
Windrush on BBC TV1 lunchtime news: May has apologised yet again, this time in parliament, but the decision to destroy the landing cards of the ‘Windrush’ generation was apparently taken by the 2009 Labour government, although Corbyn says it was done in 2010.
So, whodunit?
Norman Smith says May was helped by Corbyn getting sucked in for a ‘political uppercut’. Norman says May hasn’t got off the hook though…
Besides ‘whodunit’ there is, for me, also another question: ‘whydunit?’
We see the Windrush footage yet again, in case the message was missed the last dozen times…
I was amazed to hear John Sopel praise Trump for his progress with North Korea. How much time did he waste ‘reporting’ about ‘Russia’ and countless similar non-stories, like when they criticised his words in a privately conversation with a soldier’s widow?
Is it really so hard just to report on actual events that matter rather than constant innuendo, telling is what to think, sneering and virtue signalling?
We have the most courageous president in living memory, possibly in history, and such bravery combined with power gives him an immeasurable capacity to put things right. They should show some respect or maybe even support him for once. Leadership is about strength and conviction. He has more temerity in his little finger than the rest of the Western leaders combined.
I know a whore monger who decided to check Cuba out.
He found it’s illegal to take Cuban girls back to the hotel, prostitutes or not, so no holiday romance even if you meet a nice girl.
He had to rent a room off a local for his mongering.
Image the BBC outrage if Britain had a similar law for foreigners and British girls .

Oh goody! We’ll be able to have even more coverage of Women’s Shove Ha’penny, Transgender Ludo, Islamic Tiddlywinks and Paraplegic Snakes And Ladders! I can’t wait, bring it on!
Now you may think the peoples of Cuba live a miserable existence under the heel of one of the nastiest authoritarian regimes the world has seen. Amnesty International would agree with you.
But the BBC’s tribute to Castro and Cuba doesn’t trouble its web site readers with the prisons, the tortures, the state murders, rather finding people who say : “They’ll have to set me on fire before I leave this island,” jokes Rosa Caridad Valverde, who has lived on the tiny islet her whole life. “Then, after they put me out, I’d swim back to the Cayo!”
No one would know that while his people starved Castro became a billionaire stealing everything from his own people, even the countries islands.
The BBC quietly slip in the fact the doctor in the town is paid about 35 us dollars a month.
Other nonsense from the BBC website: “Education is another source of huge pride in Cuba.” Really BBC? This in a country where the people are not allowed to read books or view web sites unless officially sanctioned. Some education!
This rubbish continues and continues. Not a word from the reporter how people who criticise the government are dragged away and can spend decades in prison.
Not a word about how people risk the lives of themselves and their families on flimsy rafts to navigate hundreds of miles of shark infested waters to reach the hated, evil USA.
If Cuba is so wonderful why don’t BBC and Guardian correspondents live there?
Stew – I’m guessing that very few coppers who are in the force when the Lawrence kid was killed 25 years ago is still in it . Yet on and on it goes . To achieve what ?

“Morrissey is definitely the worst person whose music I will listen to for ever.”
So says a culture writer on Twitter in reference to recent comments made by the former Smiths singer on his website.
In a wide-ranging interview, Morrissey takes on various subjects. He calls halal meat “evil” and takes aim at political figures, such as Prime Minister Theresa May and Sadiq Khan, saying the London Mayor “cannot talk properly”.
Strangely, I can’t recall a similar article on the myriad virtue-signalling luvvies that infest show business. I’m sure there must be one on, say, Bono.
Ironically, I never could stand Morrisey’s caterwauling myself.

Oxfam in trouble again
The thing about the Haiti was that witnesses were subject to intimidation from other people, so its vital to keep their names secret.
But when stuff started to appear in newspapers Oxfam rushed out a redacted version of their report, however they forgot to redact witness names.
A serious data breach.

Another CPS rape cock up ?
Mud way through the trial of a 53 year old teaching assistant charged with having sex with a 15 year old pupil, the CPS dropped one of the charges, and then the jury took 2 hours to aquit her on another 4
.. seeming to agree with her, that the boy had stretched the age down in order to make money from newspaper stories.
She claims the relationship started when he was 17.
That hardly makes her innocent.. It’s still morally wrong.
You`d not believe the misfits and deviants that now get into our classrooms as teachers, T.As and visitors.
Look up “The Scary Guy”-he`s been to all our local secondaries , and if THAT`S an example of what educayshun is about, I`m staying in primary for ever.
Can anybody tell me any Wednesday afternoon in recent history where Laurie Taylors “Thinking Allowed” was NOT on at 4pm.
At least the appalling other types that the BBC use and use( Libby Purvis, Jonathan Freedland etc) take a damned holiday once in a while.
I can`t remember any time that this corduroy commie and his equally achingly PC family were NOT hogging the airwaves on our dime every week.
And he just mocked conferences that his kind go to where no-one attends, everybody feigns interest in a spiral of ever-decreasing relevance ;and the attendance tends to zero.
Just like his awful programme. PLEASE kick him off the air, we`ll get nowhere as long as he squats toad-like over the culture.
There is NO reason in 2018 to have this empty corduroy queen in popular academic discourse, he`s missed every bloody trend in recent history. York Uni gave us both Laurie Taylor AND Harriet Harman. Thank you York!
I stopped watching Laurie Tailors “Thinking Allowed” when he interview a professor of psychiatry from Bristol University called Stephan Lewandowsky. The psychiatrist seemed to want to put Atmospheric Physicists in the loony bin, if they didn’t agree with him on Climate Science.
I believe he hosted a “Climate Psychology Conference” at Bristol University. There were at least two participants. (1) A loony Professor of Psychology at Bristol University, and (2) A loony Professor of Psychology at Cambridge University. Very BBC.
I remember a cartoon depicting the loony holding his Loony Landings/Climate Science survey.
Laurie Taylor doesn’t broadcast in August & starts again in mid September
otherwise he’s on once a week on Wednesdays and repeated after midnight Sunday nights
and he’s 82 !
He ‘s complained about “creeping censorship”
by which he means that cos he has a stream of lefty guests, he is asked about balance
and he replies that if the research sounds lefty that is only cos what the research says
He doesn’t realise that there is cherrypicking.
Hippy Taylor is a pretty repulsive beeboid isn’t he ? I suppose they’ll make him an institution like so many others who have taken the taxpayers ‘ shilling all their career – see Attenborough who I guess is paid through a production company so he can take money from sky .
But this is the idiot left in full hue and cry like drag race fox hunts. They have no democratic purpose but when it comes to codes, guidelines, bureaucratic procedures that entail getting downloads to prosecute after thirty years-then this is what they need and do.
It`s not as if there`s any REAL crime out there, any REAL scams like Obamas and Clintons or Project Fear is there?
No-if you keep digging at Trumps laundry list and accounts,then somebody associated will have omitted something, or assumed something for the lawyering class to piss themselves over.
All very Kafka-and until they find something worth a smear, a court case or CNN to show up; they will never stop. Because they`re the deep state and we pay them for this lunacy.
Anybody else remember Labour losing all our tax discs in 2007?

I don’t go with conspiracy theories over the islands issue – these people are not that clever. But what a demonstration of the sheer third rate ness of the political class . Brillo was on fire today . He roasted some Tory nobody and the chairman of the Labour Party who looked as though he’d rather be down the pit again . Poor fucker couldn’t even say how many labour members had been thrown out of the party for being anti Jewish . Where is Shabi?

Here, in the UK, we can look forward to the Croatians arriving after 18th June as they will have ‘free movement’ rights from then. Just to add to our, “all one big happy family……………….”
Fallacy of false dichotomy
It is not a choice between immigration utopia or immigration disaster
It depends what type of immigrants you let in
eg Russians with loads of money, Jihadi pseudo refugees, tech gurus, dim non-English speakers etc.
It has been interesting and instructive to compare and contrast the coverage of the Sir Cliff Richard vs. BBC trial on the Sky News website (rolling tweets) and the BBC website. The BBC coverage is all about its reporter, Dan Johnson, saying he covered the case in a “professional and fair way”. No mention of any other witnesses giving evidence today. Sky News has covered in detail the work the Sir Cliff’s lawyer and PR agent did over 2 years to try to repair the trashed reputation. (In one tweet, the PR agent “Hall says I thought cliff was being naive he said to me after lots of spurious stories appeared on internet before the search..’why don’t I come out and say I’m innocent’ hall said ‘if you do skeletons will come out of the closet’ sir cliff replied ‘there are no skeletons’) Do we hear anything of this in the BBC version? What a silly question! Do we hear anything of the individual who attempted blackmail after the BBC story? Equally silly question. The Sky News coverage of Dan Johnson’s evidence doesn’t mention the “professional and fair” phrase, but does give the impression that he is a nasty piece of work. He had no thought of the damage that the story and rolling coverage would do to the individual, even the BBC coverage admits he used the phrase “celebrity paedo” in an internal e-mail.
I wonder if the BBC would have been so interested if Sir Cliff had not been a Christian but a member of a certain other religion.
After all they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to cover Rotherham, Telford etc.
GD,
I’m reminded of the pathetic pair in a radio station in Australia that impersonated a Royal which resulted in a suicide as I recall. Brainless with notconcept of what may happen and in the case I mention, actually did. Multiply this factor up and you see what a danger the BBC is.

Muslims who have a prayer room in their home do not have to pay council tax. They are claiming this dispensation from Council Tax by maintaining a prayer room in their homes. So why do they need to prayer in the Street- It is a show of strength & power – & a vector for conquest. twitter.com/Girlofthe70S/s…
Muslims don`t have to pay parking fines, car park fines, TV Licences or poll tax.
We will find that economic jihad is thoroughly defensible to their faith. And, we Christians should have done the very same years ago.
Basically, if Capita are chasing you and your post code is a migrant one, nothing is going to happen.
And again-they KNOW that schools teach atheist shit, that they don`t easily dump their pensioners in state care homes. Nor do they need breakfast clubs, unless they seek to take the piss and bankrupt the state stupid enough to offer it.
Why should THEY pay for tattoos,sex changes and drug therapy for the kuffar? Allah won`t want it, they`re just getting started.
Do you blame them? Cowards and godless relativists in negotiations with real men with a hard, certain and uncompromising faith that makes sense in its own sick terms?
Putin will out see it, we won`t.
I`m a Christian-we`ll fight back. Don`t tell the church though, as if they`d care.
\\And Lord Forsyth went further, suggesting that it was a plot by “Remainers in this House, who are the majority, who refuse to accept the verdict of the British people – and I believe they are playing with fire”.
“I say to colleagues in this House, ”Have a care to what we are doing,'” he said. “We are an unelected house, and this amendment [is] part of a campaign which is putting peers against the people.” //
Time to get rid of the lot and replace with a democratically elected body.
They do not listen to the people !
They never do.

I think the peers are so divorced from reality that they will cause a constitutional crisis which be a joy to watch as Corbyn and his comrades are torn one way and another. If the lords can be destroyed as a result of brexit so much the better .
It’s unlikely because it’s the intimate status symbol for any dead politician or any flavour – see Prescott as case study .
The island
Very dangerous for the Lords to interfere with the brexit negotiations like this. Their grief is still raw about losing the referendum vote – anger and denial I suppose . Al beeb won’t cover it until the do do really hits the fan . 340 days to go i think .
Taffman
Caught a glimpse of the House after the vote.
They all looked highly catatonic. I’m surprised that Al et al. haven’t cobbled together a nerve-gas/autoflatotoxosis scenario to explain the lack of excitement.
“Trump hails CIA chief Mike Pompeo’s secret trip to N Korea” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-43811374

Donald , keep draining the swamp.
Second street shooting in my londonistan borough in 2 successive weeks . No casualties reported yet . I’m not in Blighty at the moment but hot weather often means street trouble . Death 61 coming soon ?
Taff – no I don’t think so – it’s pretty sick counting the bodies but neither the political class or the media want to say or do anything about it as it is “black on black” and this not in the “black is good – white is bad” narrative .
I know there are black peoples posting on this site and I hope not to cause offence but the level of violence in londonistan is shocking and sad.
It’s been mentioned on here a few times that, every couple of weeks, the BBC has a {relatively} ‘impartial day’. Today appears to be one of them – a Trump story about N.Korea without sneering; positive economic news without ‘despite Brexit’ ; coverage of Corbyn’s embarrassing performance in PMQs. Even on South East Today, a story about a terrorist-related raid in Rochester identified the suspect as a white Muslim convert ! Almost a ‘proper’ news organisation – of course, normal service to be resumed tomorrow….but what a ghastly, cynical, twisted bunch we have to pay for
I only just saw that the Stephen Lawrence programmes are a set of three, an hour each. Talk about overkill. Maybe all white people should wear black stars forever because of what happened 25 years ago. I bet the actual events are much different to the accepted narrative.
“Maybe all white people should wear black stars forever because of what happened 25 years ago.”
I’ve never heard anyone claim that “all white people” are responsible for the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Quite right too; his murderers killed him because they were violent racist thugs. Their skin colour is completely irrelevant and neither you, me, or anyone sharing a few strands of DNA with them should feel anyway responsible.
Meanwhile, on Biased-BBC; Muslims commit crimes because they are muslims, Pakistanis’ commit crimes because they are pakis and Blacks commit crimes because they are black.
The cognitive dissonance of unashamed racists on this site is astonishing to behold.
Maxi
I see you are back on form. Why do you visit this site ? Please tell us why you support an organisation that robs from the poor to pay the rich ?

Taffman, maxi forgets that Nigel Farage directly and, more widely, the Leave Campaign and all Brexiteers were blamed for the death of Jo Cox in June 2016.
Muslims are not a race, you numpty-they`re a religion.

No she didn’t. She called for the banning of organisations that advocated Fascism, Nazism and Racism. You might well disagree, but “Infowars” has spun that into *anyone criticising mass immigration*; and poor gullible saps, such as yourself, believe every word.

I don’t listen to Alex Jones. I have read many of G’s comments and have found them very sensible and informative. No need for name calling, Maxi.
I read some years ago when Blair or Brown was in charge that the future laws would try and make it illegal to criticize immigration.
That is now coming to fulfillment. The May/Rudd regime is cracking down on people coming into the country who have conservative views on the topic. The ‘hate speech’ laws are being expanded to a level of ridiculousness not only in Britain but in Western Europe in a desperate attempt to clampdown on any challenge to the ‘Great Replacement’ project. The best example of this is Sweden where the liberal establishment has been having talks with media outlets to get them to restrict coverage of non PC points of view especially as , horror of horrors, the people may vote for the parties they shouldn’t.
This is what is going on Maxi! The dogs in the street know it, for gods sake! This is the direction everything is head and the goal is not far away. To quibble about the wording of G’s source Alex Jones is disingenuous to put it mildly. The MEP in question is hardly likely to come out with a blunt statement saying “I am calling for the stifling of free speech so we can win all elections forever. This is politics! You wrap it up differently. That’s in order to progress your agenda incrementally and so people don’t cotton on to it or the endpoint.
I was a Red/Green activist for a dozen years. I know how they think.
And one of their tactics when confronted with something they couldn’t handle was to look for something in the wording, however small, that they could use to deflect attention from the main point.
I can also tell you that the Red/Green movement is totalitarian.
So Alex Jones is quite right in reality. That is what they are aiming for. See through the hogwash, Maxi, don’t be so gullible.

“The £100m building at the site of the former bus station is part of Central Square, a development that will include one million sq ft (92,903 sq m) of office, residential and retail space.”
Sadly for the BBC, the comments section doesn’t share the BBC’s enthusiasm for this breath-taking new work of art and technology. Some unkind people want the old bus station back. Still, as the BBC says, it cannot satisfy everyone.

Timid Tories.
A council candidate in Hackney has been suspended by the Conservative Party for anti-Muslim posts on social media, the Citizen can reveal.
Alexander van Terheyden, standing for the Conservatives in Hoxton West, has called Islam a “violent political ideology” comparable to fascism and communism, and recently attended a rally headed by the former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson.
He has also called the UK’s refusing entry to alt-right activists who target NGO ships rescuing migrants a “disgrace”, and said the crusades were “simply a response to Islam spreading through Europe by the sword”.

“Tolerant” ?
The Austrian-British philosopher Karl Popper defined the “Paradox of Tolerance” as follows:
“Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them… We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.”
That form of tolerance?

R4 now prog about Sikh turbans on 1969 Wolverhampton buses
Surprisingly straight at the start they admit race-baiting
The narrative is that a Sikh bus driver suddenly had a religious awakening and asserted he MUST wear a turban
Actually a ORTHODOX* Sikh organiser had recently won Sikhs the right to wear the turban at the Goodyear factory, so he decided to push the campaign further to the buses, but none of the bus drivers wanted to force the issue.
So he gets his son to get a job at the us company and be the one to initiate the campaign
He went as far as threatening burn himself to death in protest.

I’ve not had a TV Licence since the end of September last year. What have I lost and / or what have I gained? Start the latter. I’m finding myself becoming more calm and collected when I watch YouTube which takes up most of my viewing time. I can select what and whoever I wish and I focus, in the main, on the Worlds best thinkers to best understand the appearance of madness that surrounds us. Last nigjht, I had a ‘Sir Roger Scrutton’ night. Highly recommended. I refer to being more calm and collected. This is derived by the common sense uttered by the likes of Scrutton and Jordan Peterson. It leaves one thinking that one is not alone (apart from this blog naturally) when surrounded daily by increasing nonsense. There are others who I listen to avidly. What have I lost in not viewing regular TV? Its that nonsense again. Apart from a bit of RT, all channels simply bolster and magnify the nonsense we are surrounded by which was making my blood boil by the feeling of helplessness. Not only that, I’ve saved £145 in the bargain.

The Windrush Generation affair .
My take on it involves a bit of conspiracy .
The liberal/ left BBC found to their consternation that the BAME were not a homogenous all think as one group , that many were against further immigration and for Brexit .
Time for a shakeup by the Gramscis . They’ve done the throw out the Phillipino nurses , the doctor who had his papers mislaid , the Canadian / Australian etc woman in her sixties who didn’t even know she was Canadian etc , the American who wants to be with his wife but there is a visa glitch and numerous others . Throw them out , throw them out . That’s what a tough immigration policy looks like , Daily Mail reader . Heartless and sometimes against our national interest . Is that what you want ?
Well that’s what we’ll show the indigenous population . But what’s this ? The BAME ” community ” have refuseniks too ?!
OUR client base victim society aren’t all aboard the good ship Lollipop to socialist utopia , this will never do . Time for some shock tactics to bring all to heel . Throw out or threaten to some of ” their own” . Now see what a rigorous immigration policy does . It hurts you and your kith and kin . Reject it .

Windrush on BBC TV1 lunchtime news: May has apologised yet again, this time in parliament, but the decision to destroy the landing cards of the ‘Windrush’ generation was apparently taken by the 2009 Labour government, although Corbyn says it was done in 2010.
So, whodunit?
Norman Smith says May was helped by Corbyn getting sucked in for a ‘political uppercut’. Norman says May hasn’t got off the hook though…
Besides ‘whodunit’ there is, for me, also another question: ‘whydunit?’
We see the Windrush footage yet again, in case the message was missed the last dozen times…

I was amazed to hear John Sopel praise Trump for his progress with North Korea. How much time did he waste ‘reporting’ about ‘Russia’ and countless similar non-stories, like when they criticised his words in a privately conversation with a soldier’s widow?
Is it really so hard just to report on actual events that matter rather than constant innuendo, telling is what to think, sneering and virtue signalling?
We have the most courageous president in living memory, possibly in history, and such bravery combined with power gives him an immeasurable capacity to put things right. They should show some respect or maybe even support him for once. Leadership is about strength and conviction. He has more temerity in his little finger than the rest of the Western leaders combined.

BBC at its shameful worst:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/Cuba_after_the_Castros
Now you may think the peoples of Cuba live a miserable existence under the heel of one of the nastiest authoritarian regimes the world has seen. Amnesty International would agree with you.
But the BBC’s tribute to Castro and Cuba doesn’t trouble its web site readers with the prisons, the tortures, the state murders, rather finding people who say : “They’ll have to set me on fire before I leave this island,” jokes Rosa Caridad Valverde, who has lived on the tiny islet her whole life. “Then, after they put me out, I’d swim back to the Cayo!”
No one would know that while his people starved Castro became a billionaire stealing everything from his own people, even the countries islands.
The BBC quietly slip in the fact the doctor in the town is paid about 35 us dollars a month.
Other nonsense from the BBC website: “Education is another source of huge pride in Cuba.” Really BBC? This in a country where the people are not allowed to read books or view web sites unless officially sanctioned. Some education!
This rubbish continues and continues. Not a word from the reporter how people who criticise the government are dragged away and can spend decades in prison.
Not a word about how people risk the lives of themselves and their families on flimsy rafts to navigate hundreds of miles of shark infested waters to reach the hated, evil USA.
If Cuba is so wonderful why don’t BBC and Guardian correspondents live there?

Can anybody tell me any Wednesday afternoon in recent history where Laurie Taylors “Thinking Allowed” was NOT on at 4pm.
At least the appalling other types that the BBC use and use( Libby Purvis, Jonathan Freedland etc) take a damned holiday once in a while.
I can`t remember any time that this corduroy commie and his equally achingly PC family were NOT hogging the airwaves on our dime every week.
And he just mocked conferences that his kind go to where no-one attends, everybody feigns interest in a spiral of ever-decreasing relevance ;and the attendance tends to zero.
Just like his awful programme. PLEASE kick him off the air, we`ll get nowhere as long as he squats toad-like over the culture.
There is NO reason in 2018 to have this empty corduroy queen in popular academic discourse, he`s missed every bloody trend in recent history. York Uni gave us both Laurie Taylor AND Harriet Harman. Thank you York!

I stopped watching Laurie Tailors “Thinking Allowed” when he interview a professor of psychiatry from Bristol University called Stephan Lewandowsky. The psychiatrist seemed to want to put Atmospheric Physicists in the loony bin, if they didn’t agree with him on Climate Science.
I believe he hosted a “Climate Psychology Conference” at Bristol University. There were at least two participants. (1) A loony Professor of Psychology at Bristol University, and (2) A loony Professor of Psychology at Cambridge University. Very BBC.
I remember a cartoon depicting the loony holding his Loony Landings/Climate Science survey.

It has been interesting and instructive to compare and contrast the coverage of the Sir Cliff Richard vs. BBC trial on the Sky News website (rolling tweets) and the BBC website. The BBC coverage is all about its reporter, Dan Johnson, saying he covered the case in a “professional and fair way”. No mention of any other witnesses giving evidence today. Sky News has covered in detail the work the Sir Cliff’s lawyer and PR agent did over 2 years to try to repair the trashed reputation. (In one tweet, the PR agent “Hall says I thought cliff was being naive he said to me after lots of spurious stories appeared on internet before the search..’why don’t I come out and say I’m innocent’ hall said ‘if you do skeletons will come out of the closet’ sir cliff replied ‘there are no skeletons’) Do we hear anything of this in the BBC version? What a silly question! Do we hear anything of the individual who attempted blackmail after the BBC story? Equally silly question. The Sky News coverage of Dan Johnson’s evidence doesn’t mention the “professional and fair” phrase, but does give the impression that he is a nasty piece of work. He had no thought of the damage that the story and rolling coverage would do to the individual, even the BBC coverage admits he used the phrase “celebrity paedo” in an internal e-mail.

“Maybe all white people should wear black stars forever because of what happened 25 years ago.”
I’ve never heard anyone claim that “all white people” are responsible for the murder of Stephen Lawrence. Quite right too; his murderers killed him because they were violent racist thugs. Their skin colour is completely irrelevant and neither you, me, or anyone sharing a few strands of DNA with them should feel anyway responsible.
Meanwhile, on Biased-BBC; Muslims commit crimes because they are muslims, Pakistanis’ commit crimes because they are pakis and Blacks commit crimes because they are black.
