      G,

      ’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.

          Possibly.

          @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.

    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”.

    https://www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2018/04/17/tory-candidate-hoxton-suspended-muslim-social-media/

    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

          “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.”

    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.

      (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.

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 . Embrace our ideals , stay with us , let us guide you . Keep tuned to the BBC .

    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?’

    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?

    Morrissey: Is it possible to separate art from artist?

    “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.

    Can you hear that? That anguished sound of rapid backpedalling as the Labour Party, Guardian and BBC get caught out pushing a lie…that it was May who made the decision to destroy the immigration landing cards…oh and not just one lie but two…that May had set out to create ‘‘A hostile environment for immigrants” . She didn’t say that, they miss out a crucial word…she actually said ‘The aim is to create here in Britain a really hostile environment for illegal migration,”’

    Spot the huge difference? The BBC has been using the fake phrase all day and even in its web report it doesn’t correct Corbyn’s repetition of the lie….
    ‘Mr Corbyn said it was Mrs May who, as home secretary between 2010 and 2016, pushed through changes to immigration rules in 2014 designed to foster a “hostile environment” for migrants which he said had directly led to “such pain for a whole generation”. ‘

    The Guardian started off the day with this…

    ‘Home Office claims that the destruction of Windrush-era landing cards in 2010 had no impact on the rights of those individuals to stay in the UK have been dramatically undermined by the evidence of two new whistleblowers. ‘

    The BBC followed up closely in its wake making the same claims and suggesting Rudd resign….or should it be May?…as Nick Robinson fed the Shadow Home Secretary easy open questions that were clearly intended to allow her to say what she had to say. Maybe Robinson was just being charitable, Abbott being in need of a guiding hand more often than not.

    Cue PMQs and Corbyn makes the same claim only to be kicked in the beetroots when May trashed his claims by revealing it was Labour in 2009 who made the decision to destroy the cards. Corbyn completely ignored that and changed tack claiming instead that May was trying to blame civil servants…no, she was blaming Labour. Note that Abbott said that‘common sense must be used…if someone is sending in 30 years of tax records it must be obvious they lived here’…thus she was blaming over-zealous civil servants who weren’t using common sense.

    Pienaar held his hands up and admitted Corbyn had been wiped out, not mentioning the change of tack and the refusal to take the blame for Labour…however the BBC’s Anna Foster suddenly decided that perhaps landing cards weren’t an important issue really, maybe it was all just semantics, and anyway, was it really something that would cross a [Labour] minister’s desk? That’s despite the BBC’s earlier targeting May for this and Corbyn saying the cards were ‘vital historical documents’

    The BBC had lined up the Guardian’s political correspondent and the Times’ pro-EU, anti-May Sam Coates for what they expected was a Tory slaughter in PMQs…what a disappointment for them. Note the Guardianista was let off having to explain away the fake news.
    On the Today programme Robinson dragged in yet another Times’ journo, Rachel Silvester, not a friend of the Tories. She was there to give us her professional and impartial opinion that the attacks on Rudd are purely partisan ones from Leavers out to get her and that essentially Rudd had done nothing wrong…Silvester agreed with Nick that it was really May who should get the blame, and the chop.

    Not a good day for good journalism.

    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.

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 .

          Has the Queen got the power to suggest certain people are removed from the Privy Council?

            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 .

            Their resistance will only get worse.

          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.

          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.

      Beeb Brother,

      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.

        Muslims are not a race, you numpty-they`re a religion.
        Just like being a fey political contrarian-which is also not a “race”-but a totalitarian posture.
        So you -by writing this tosh conflate race and religion, nationalities as well.
        No wonder you`re confused,
        Thank God for the Daily Mail eh?-it was THEY who openly named the murderers, whereas you were probably thinking that it would be better not to know.

    I used to ‘dislike’ the BBC news, that soon turned into ‘distrust’ and then ‘disdain’ and then ‘despair’, now it has become ‘despise’. Just today for example, lots of coverage of ‘Windrush’, unelected peers voting against the government (oh, you can sense the glee from their reporters), an expected dig at Trump but virtually no mention that both Canada and India have expressed a wish to complete trade deals the day of Brexit. The BBC are so stuck up their own ars*holes that I think ‘despise’ is the correct ‘D’ word to use. Why do I pay my licence fee for these despotic (oh another ‘D’) prats. They’d rather sell their own country down the drain then report anything for the good of the country. DESPICABLE PRICKS.

          Chalky, look on the bright side. If you watch the BBC occasionally you’ll never need to buy a copy of the Guardian.

          If the BBC ever developed any integrity it would do wonders for the Guardian’s sales figures.

      Thought I’d give al beeb a swerve for the day and dip into RT. RT is fixated on Salisbury – suggesting it’s a real raw nerve for the Ruskis.

      It’s far easier to see the RT bias with people with British accents who have sold out to the Russians .

      If you think about it how could the Russians ever know the difference between the truth and a lie ? Their system has lived on a lie since 1917 .

        Fed, they knew about the lies within a decade of 1917, if not almost immediately. Remember Samizdat? In the 1970s, the Russian population became increasingly emboldened to speak for truth against the lies.

        In the 2010s, the British population is still becoming increasingly credulous.

        It will change. One day. I hope.

    This WS episode More More or Less: Are We Breathing Unsafe Air?
    “The World Health Organisation say that 95% of people who live in cities breathe UNSAFE AIR.”
    Their trick is to cherrypick just one pollutant PM2.5

    The super expert debunked the WHO’s generalisations
    ** “If you got rid of all the transport in London, the benefit would be 2μg/m3**
    ..meaning 20-30 days of life ”
    ie you’d live one month longer on a 90 year lifespan if we got rid of all transport ..is that worth it ? of giving up all that convenience ?

      PS: Get rid of all transport in London? That is heresy, Stew. Do you not realise that the London bus is looked upon as a god by ‘some people’ ?
