Heard something about some bloke from the Knights Templar on Radio 4 at 8pm earlier.
I never asked the BBC to play Interpol coppers nark, snitch and stoolie-but they`d do it for fun.
And the interviewer-a right unctuous toadie-was fearless in telling Europol,all manner of uniformed border types in Muslim related areas-to do their job and ban whitey from Knights Templar from their countries. Don`t want anybody knowing what Islam is up to do we?
Would little Cox(yes, that`s his name) go to this trouble, travel through all those countries on our expenses if it were Muslim trafficking, Somali drug gangs I wonder?
Course not. He won`t mind them, but DOES mind if “reactionaries” are brazen enough to actually “react” to what`s long been known in Eastern Europe as well as the decent people of Europe like us here.
This was the BBC writ large, pompous, indifferent , obtuse and lying through their teeth, editing like furies.
Do they take ladies who can starch and iron? The BBC made me want to join. They all think they`re Roger Cucks these days.
When they do one expose of what Islam or migration is doing to our fabric, then I`ll think again, Until then, let`s assume they want us in the EU, tiger rugs for Anjem and Corbyns Labia Party checking us all for -well, not complying.
Simon Cox is possibly a relation of Brendan Cox.He was using someone from the totalitarian left wing group `Hope Not Hate` as an authority on the issue of the Knights Templar influence without pointing out how left wing `Hate not Hope` are
Alicia: As a ‘Political Scientist’ I listened to that programme with interest, in the hope of discovering what R4 thinks the ‘far right’ actually is, i e what are its ideological convictions, how does it differ from the ‘right’ or from conservatism, what does it actually do in the UK, which parties do they think are ‘far-right’ eg UKIP?
I was disappointed to hear a poor, disjointed attempt by someone who travels a lot (and quite possibly has a GCSE and is trying to improve from an ‘E’ in scriptwriting for radio), to character assassinate one individual and one organisation I had never heard of. It was impossible to draw any conclusions as to what the ‘far-right’ is, although there were some extremely vague and very confused and confusing attempts to outline what they allegedly do.
We could have had merely the breathless last sentence, specifying who public enemy No1 is supposed to be, and we could have saved ourselves the trouble of listening to all the muddled, half-baked insinuations about what he may have done in Serbia or wherever.
R4 is capable of interesting stuff. This was really poor. Who is Simon Cox? R4 journalists are usually a lot slicker.
“Brexiteers send customs ‘ultimatum’ to Theresa May”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43969101
Time for Mrs May to stand up for Great Britain or go!
Trump trolling the media beautifully again. Obviously a doctor would not write that he was the most healthy person ever to become president and his strength and stamina is astonishing.
Revoltingly sneering article from the BBC about Trump’s comments on Nigeria. He pronounced Boko Haram wrong, let’s all snigger! He thinks they might be slaughtering Christians – how absolutely ridiculous!
He may pronounce foreign words incorrectly but he does not think that the greatest threat to our civilisation is a noble, peaceful creed which must be protected at all costs – even as they rape and terrorise with impunity.
They hate him for breaking their spell of silence. Everyone else steps into line when the media feigns outrage after uncomfortable truths are spoken. He just ploughs on regardless, bulldozing through their meticulously constructed walls of lies. They speak of how he ‘undermines democracy’ or whatever when he constantly calls them fake news, but if it were not true it would not hurt them so badly. If people kept telling Lionel Messi he was bad at football he would not care as it so obviously is not true.
The BBC does good sneer.

Someone who worked alongside him said “ultimately Sajid will do what is in Sajid’s interests”.
Classic BBC unsubstantiated quote as a headline, moving seamlessly from single to double quote marks in the process.
Speaking of ‘sources who say’….

“They hate him for breaking their spell of silence.”
You know, BB, I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. I may have to steal that. I feel my gnomic utterances have been getting a bit stale recently.
Great little post, as was your earlier one about the Exeter students, by the way. Your contributions here are always edifying and a pleasure to read.
I wonder if it faces Mark Thompson’s office window?
Interesting technique. Any poster sites opposite W1A?

The BBC have commissioned a drama called ‘Englistan’ about a family of Pakistani immigrants.
I imagine they battle racism from nasty little Englanders and go on to make super human contributions without which our very civilisation would crumble. Nothing about ‘grooming’ or other contributions I imagine. God, who on Earth is going to watch that?
@BB made by Left Handed Films
The BBC is trolling Britain so hard
Glad I don’t have a tv licence but then, I would not even be tempted to watch this sort of programme anyway. The BBC: sowing the seeds of isolationism.
The programmes I would have watched are virtually non-existent these days anyway.
What a surprise that just as Kanye West voices his support for Trump and conservative ideas he is smeared as being an apologist for slavery.
Why can they not try and have an argument or a grown-up conversation rather than always resorting to character assassination? It is because they cannot win the argument.
Their message is clear: commit a thought crime and we will destroy you. The idea that liberals are the kind and decent side is long gone.
They may have an arsenal of dirty tricks and huge cultural power to bully people into submission, but we have something bullet proof: the truth. They can try to smash down Milo, Kanye or Trump with vicious smears but another 100 will spring up in their place. They are fighting hard to cleanse the internet of truth but its very nature makes it extremely resilient. The old order is crumbling and it is glorious.
Good post, Bro.
The bbc seems to have decided he is a rapper of colour they can use their globally-renowned ‘balanced coverage’ with… a lot. Pretty much wall to walll. Maybe it is the company he keeps?
Meanwhile, in the edit suite…

Indeed Beep. After the Trump vicotry the actress Nicole Kidman was asked for her view. She offered the obvious, rational observation that we should now give him a chance and see what he does.
From the soft left’s demented reaction you’d have thought she said Hitler was a good guy.
TOADY watch: funnies, strange but true.
Mishal reads the newspaper headlines during the 7.30-8.00am segment. Comes to the FT and its front page lead and adopts hard, disapproving tone of voice. The Home Office may have made mistakes (there’s a thing!) in accusing foreign students of cheating on English tests and thereby, heartlessly, cruelly, depriving them of entry to the UK.
Same half-hour segment, may have been next item but one. Lithuanian companies (and others) providing help to academically challenged students with money who buy written papers and/or theses in order to get their degrees.
Students cheat! Er, what?
Wake up, Mishal! Wake up Sarah Sands! Wake up Editors of the Day! All asleep on the job.
PS: J R-M in post 8am News interrogation with The Humph and sounding very ‘Ministerial’.
Here we have the BBC reporting about the “Holocaust row: Abbas accused of anti-Semitism” on the news website.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-43967600
For once a report not exactly criticising Israel, Or as Sopel would say, ‘Impartial, free and fair’.
Well , they almost did it , but then they realised that to to be “ ‘Impartial, free and fair’. they had to balance the report so they managed to slot this in at the end of the report to redress the balance..
“The last direct peace talks took place in 2014, when Barack Obama was in the White House. They broke down amid acrimony.
Since Donald Trump became US president last year and controversially recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the chances of talks resuming have looked even more remote”
There you go. ‘Impartial, free and fair’.
It’s a weird article, written as though it’s intended for children. Certainly that’s the impression given by the question marks after the subheadings.
It’s interesting that the bias comes right at the end. Generally the BBC likes to get its bias in early, given the short attention span of many readers. The BBC is fair in its reporting on the Holocaust, perhaps to give the impression that its opposition to Israel does not stem from its dislike of Jews.
Norm knows people. Apparently.
Why would any of BoJo’s ‘friends’ would speak to this slimy shite ?
“friends” = NOT FRIENDS. Or supposed friends. Or friends with a hate for Boris. Enemies?
More TOADY watching: “the NHS should treat people for sex addiction.”
Now, Sarah, Farramant and Rubenstein, Humph: what were you complaining about endlessly since November last year? Remember January and February this year, too? What was a regular lead item, almost permanent lead item, on the TOADY programme? Think!
Tax those little grey cells. Check back in written records. Listen to the archive.
What was the subject that dominated TOADY programme content?
Do you need a clue?
A national institution, with three letters.
Got it yet? No?
A national institution struggling to cope with demand? Got it now?
No?
Really?
Yes up – I left that one off because I couldn’t believe my ears . I sure the founding fathers ( sexism ) of the glorious nhs had sex addiction in mind as one of the great scourges of man ( sexism ) kind when they were fighting the sainted doctors to set it up
Apologies if you already know this (I’ve scrolled back but didn’t see anything)…
Parliament will debate “Give the electorate referendum on the abolition of the House of Lords” petition on Monday, 18th June.
Petition now at 139K .. has got a boost from the latest HOL shinnanigans.
Yes, I signed and get the messages – mine came this morning!
But all the turkeys, and the blokes as well, will want their pensions and the £300 a day to extend their worthless existence, so don’t expect much more than a fart in a colander from that corrupt bunch of losers.
The only good that will come out of the ‘debate’, will be that a few of the lords may find their tyres let down and they may get a bit scared of blocking Brexit any more.
(Love the monica – where does the ‘d’ fit in please? ;0)
Usual BBC tactic of mentioning the Manchester bombing but not really mentioning the Manchester bombing Islamic part.
Ariana Grande gives comeback interview and says album will ‘bring light’
Whole article is a Liberal ‘Brendan Cox’-esque type reasoning where “bringing light” (via the medium of music) to our lives can really help those people blown to bits. “Hope not Hate” also gets a mention in the video clip.
No mention of what the Manchester bombing was about and no links to older BBC articles given. No mention of the bomber. Just a fact saying 22 people ‘died’ (actually is was 23 including the bomber but in BBC land that bomber never existed).
somewhere within the sphere of family and friends of those 22 innocents and all those injured, must be , absolutely must be at least a few very reticent pissed off and angry people
yet no one in the media has as far as I am aware managed to find them and let them speak, really odd that isnt it
Just a question.
Is there any danger of another thread this side of the bank holiday?
Please…
Oh, some good news. Bully boy, Berkow has now been properly shafted. Surely he’s done for. And there’s to be another inquiry into the proclivities / activities (ahem) of oily Keith Vaz. If we can see the back of those two…
On the minus side, another shooting in London last night. Two shot, one dead.
And so it continues…
I overslept and missed all this Jeff!
Popcorn at the ready…
I assume the Norwegian passport office has been informed about the shooting…
Just checked their website again…
Nope, not a mention!
They really are a superb up-to-date ‘broadcaster’ aren’t they! Their ‘journalists’ have clearly been given ‘D’ Notices, and told not to mention two of the nastiest little barstewards in Westminster.
How could a doctor seriously say Trump was the healthiest candidate in history? So obviously trolling there but the MSM lap it up and once again we are all laughing in their faces.
‘healthiest candidate in history’ – out of all the dead ones?!
Well that blog post, has open comments
.. but bet he censors out comments from Brexiteers.
Man walking along a road in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. Tells the shepherd, “I will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number in this flock.” The shepherd thinks it over; it’s a big flock so he takes the bet. “973,” says the man. The shepherd is astonished, because that is exactly right. Says “OK, I’m a man of my word, take an animal.” Man picks one up and begins to walk away.
“Wait,” cries the shepherd, “Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation.” Man says sure. “You are an economist for a government think tank,” says the shepherd. “Amazing!” responds the man, “You are exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?”
“Well,” says the shepherd, “put down my dog and I will tell you.”

Iran pushes app with ‘Death to America’ emoji {bbc.co.uk 25apr2018}
“Among the features on new app Soroush are a series of emojis featuring a chador-clad woman clutching a picture of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and placards wishing death to Israel, America and Freemasons.“
Switched on the World Service, this morning, its becoming as lamentable as the Beebs regular radio output, and I was treated to a story about new virtual PC (in every sense) “game” called I think 1000 cuts which allows a white person to transform into a black boy and then experience a lifetime of racism!
Please BBC give it a rest.
Searched for cuts and found this … “The government is to invest £85m a year in enhancing BBC services around the world including in Russia, North Korea, the Middle East and Africa.{bbc.co.uk 23nov2015}”
* Government = Tax Payer without consultation.
* Invest = what is the return on investment?
How about a game called “1,000 Insults”, which allows a black person to transform into a white, working class boy?
It has been reported several times that this is now the most disadvantaged group:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jan/07/professor-green-white-working-class-boys-becoming-more-disengaged#comment-110520513
The comments section includes the following outstanding contribution (and this is in The Guardian!):
“It is piffle of this kind that is a large part of the problem here. For decades now working class boys have been demonised (by both conservatives/reactionaries and middle-class liberals) as being “lucky” and having “every advantage”-as boys (especially “white” boys) yet, through their own “inherant” laziness and stupidity, of consistently wasting this somehow.
Idiocy of this kind has placed this group in the kind of special hell – disadvantaged, yet also made to feel constantly at fault and to blame – that rarely ends well. I think what Prof. Green has to say here about existing in two worlds is timely and well worth listening to. Couple this hell with a residual sense that things “used” to be better – and that their former priveleges have somehow been usurped and you have something really horrible brewing.
If in doubt, try applying the slogans of black consciousness and/or radical feminism to this group and think about how ugly these things now sound.
Equality and diversity must genuinely extend to working class boys and men, including white boys and me – or it means nothing.”
(The bold highlighting, which I’ve just learned how to do, is mine)
A thousand cuts or a thousand stabs ?
Wow! UKIP Member of the European Parliament for London. Working for Britain’s withdrawal from the EU. UKIP Leader & Brexit Spokesman.
“On LBC with Iain Dale yesterday I said the time has come to replace the House of Lords with a second chamber elected by Proportional Representation. The Lords represent no one but themselves. Time to be gone!” @GerardBattenMEP
“Normally I wouldn’t advertise the Guardian but I don’t think this will do me any harm. It’s a funny old world where one is called ‘hard right’ for defending our traditional freedoms, democratic & legal systems. But that’s the hard left for you.” @GerardBattenMEP
“The Referendum Result is being betrayed. This is what I predicted would happen in 2016. The solution is still the same. The big drawback is that our traitorous Parliament does not want to be supreme. It wants to be subjugated to the EU.” @GerardBattenMEP
Comment: It’s called democracy, parliament is sovereign etc etc…
Response: No the people are sovereign. It’s a common misunderstanding that Parliament is Sovereign.
Comment: So what can we do, Gerard? I favour demonstrations on the streets. Currently the Leave campaign is anonymous.
Response: Only votes make any difference. Our electoral threat got the Referendum. This is a long term struggle.
“Even Remain Lovies will get the message about incompetent one-size-fits-all EU legislation now. UKIP MEPs voted against, needless to say.” @GerardBattenMEP
“I was invited on Peston to talk about UKIP, the Local Elections, & Brexit. But then only he asked me about Tommy Robinson & Islam. If he had told he only wanted to talk about those things I would have accepted anyway. Just reinforces my views on MSM.” @GerardBattenMEP

157k possible (numbers unknown) Windrush applicants … which can be corrected.
600k illegal immigrants in UK lost by home office … which are ignored.
20k extremists on watch list not being watched … which are ignored.
3k extremists on watch list being monitored … which are ignored.
BBC £3.5bn News Service and Media are only interested in one item above…..
Why isn’t the BBC explaining why these Windrush generation are discriminated against , losing jobs and appointments in the NHS , but everyone else from the entire world can get here and be employed and receive medical care ?
Why would a Windrush person fear deportation but not an alien prisoner ?
One news story in a bubble at a time Nibor … one bubble at a time.
“I will bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.” – Jeremy Corbyn @0:04
“Corbyn, Thornberry & Abbott sworn into Parliament”
So was Sajid Javid.
In 2010.
Therefore, had the Home Office tried to deport said MP, they would have been in breach of UK law.
Now, Home Secretary; did you know that law when you claimed that you might personally have been affected as part of the ‘Windrush Generation’?
Resign.
You have misled us.
Resign!
“EU citizens! Wise words from Eu citizen Lammy. Just don’t ask why no one in the top ranks of the EU is black.“
– parody (soon to disappear like Not Diane Abbott)
Lammy: “Britain came to them, sold them into slavery, profited from their labour and made them subjects.”
Sounds like his understanding of his own history is no better than his understanding of European history.
He needs reminding just where the slave trade chain of supply actually started.
