Start the Week 28th May 2018

Thought I’d give FedUp2,TrueToo and Rufus a helping hand. They keep this important site going.

So lets get stuck into BBC and how they misreport events.

This week the emerging news will probably be the Italian elections which I think is going very well indeed, Tommy Robinson which the BBC won’t report, Brexit of course and the pressure on Northern Ireland to have a similar referendum to that in Eire.

Sorry Tabs, I think you were the last post from the previous thread. Worth the read though.

Over to you

    I cannot believe my ears. BBC Radio 4 in the 6pm have provided me with some news:

    Tommy Robinson has been jailed. Sounds like a rogue Judge may have had been told his ruling, restricting reporting of the fact, was not legal. There is a secret trial going on somewhere in the UK. Wasn’t that a feature of the Soviet Union at the height of the Communist era?

    Georg Soros (a Hungarian) is interfering in UK politics and is trying to overturn the UK’s decision to leave the EU. He’s not a Russian. Is he doing it for Putin? He is using his wealth to hold a three question Referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU. Three way question Referendums are not really possible. Does Soros have enough money to achieve the impossible?

    Ruth Davidson has opened her mouth and produced some rubbish. We have approx. 1.35million unemployed in the UK, many of them in Scotland and also a waste & recycling crisis. The NHS is struggling, especially in Scotland and needs more money across the UK. Ruth thinks importing more people without jobs will help with all these problems. The gloss has gone off her leadership of Scottish Conservatives rather quickly and she is now making things worse.

    The Chinese have been influencing all aspects of Australian politics and government for ten years. How many Australians can read Chinese characters in their equivalent of Facebook – RenRen? Would Putin and the Russians approve, assuming they can read it too?

      Apparently YouTube is censoring music by black people at the behest of the police . No court order involved . Where is the objective finding that there is a link between the various forms of killing in London and these black music videos. Surely calling people “hoes” and “nigger” and “yo bitch” is part of these boys diverse culture and should not be banned .

      As others here have written – awful lot of banning going on – and the process seems to be speeding up .

    You do sort of feel for these SJWs and their farcical attempts to convince us this is all going to work out fine; they are like the knight with no arms and legs saying he is winning the fight. Just as they are basking in the glow of a Muslim immigrant doing something good another goes and murders three in cold blood.

    I’m rather cross at the moment.

    Mr BCW is a taxi driver, not one of the vibrant kind I hasten to add, is currently along with the rest of the white drivers at his firm having to work double the time because as soon as it’s prayer time, the Muslim drivers are booking off work, going home and breaking their fast and not bothering to book back on for a long time after because it’s Ramadan.

    Mr BCW is type 2 diabetic and has to eat regularly, he takes sandwiches to work and parks up when it’s quiet and eats them then, not making anyone work any harder. He has been getting home later and later because the drivers who are supposed to be working overnight are eating.

    Currently watching Midlands Today on the bbc, they’ve just covered the inquest of that dreadful accident that happened in Birmingham just before Christmas last year. On Central News on ITV it was mentioned that the taxi driver who was killed in the accident had a small amount of cannabis in his bloodstream, and the coroner said she would be writing to Birmingham City Councils licencing department to ask if they have drivers blood tests. Strangely, on Midlands Today nothing was mentioned about it. Guess what the name of the dead taxi driver was?

    In their report on Tommy Robinson they do not mention the nature of the cases he was reporting on. Also there is no mention of what inspired this ‘gunman’ earlier.

    The Beeb claim his attempts to film the defendants could have ‘prejudiced’ the court. How, exactly? They know exactly what they have been up to already. We all know it was not really about contempt of court. They are shooting the messenger. They should not have been gang raping girls in the first place of course.

    They have scored a massive own goal here. Everyone will now want to know what he was reporting on. Had he hired a top publicist he would not have got a better result than this.

      I thought it was a good joke. She referred to one of Obama’s hirelings – a professional politician who ought to be able to ride out a joke –
      as what you get if you cross the Muslim Brotherhood with Planet of the Apes.
      She did not describe her as an ape.
      Moreover, the Muslim Brotherhood is not a race, and when I studied biology apes belonged to a species, not a race.

      I don’t recall the BBC getting high and mighty when there were hundreds of comparisons of Bush with a chimp

      Never mind policewomen and a member of the public being
      murdered by terrorists in Brussels, Tommy Robinson being
      banged up as a POLITICAL prisoner. War breaking out again

        England
        On her C4 programme tonight Afua was repeating her iconoclastic shtick in relation to statues of Nelson, Rhodes and Churchill. She interviewed Neil MacGregor former big cheese at the British Museum who felt he had to flee Britain for Germany because of Brexit. MacGregor thinks Brits are too proud about their history and should follow the German example and build lots of “Monuments of National Shame” MacGregor also did a programme for the BBC called “Living with the Gods”. One episode on the World Service dealing with cultural artefacts expressed the sentiment that attacks on the statues and sacred objects of a culture are a prelude to the destruction of the people of that culture as a whole. It is pretty clear, therefore, what the Hirsch/ Macgregor agenda really is. When ISIS blow up statues of the Buddha and destroy cultural artefacts at Palmyra, they do not want a “more balanced view of history” nor does Hirsch.

    Roseanne Barr career executed
    As we know if you don’t enjoy the special-privilege of being a lib or being in a SpecialVictimhood group, then sending ONE “seemingly racist” tweet means career execution.
    Sometimes people do say things stupidly racist, but they do deserve to have full context explained. And I see that this time most MSM are not mentioning the context is that it started with info that Obama was spying on the French : and thus Barr waded in to talk about Obama’s closest-advisor of that time “The Obama-Whisperer,” Valerie Jarrett
    saying
    \\ Valerie Jarrett is a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Planet of the Apes.”//
    #1 Why Valerie Jarrett ? American websites often have big conspiracy theories about her being a strong secret power controlling the Obama White House.

    #2 Why Muslim Brotherhood ?
    “During the Obama administration, rumors swirled on right-wing blogs that Jarrett secretly intended to promote Islam in the United States”
    People falsely call her Iranian cos she was born there
    ( Valerie Jarrett was born Nov. 14, 1956, in Shiraz, Iran, where her parents, James and Barbara Bowman, lived for six years)

    #3 Why “Planet of the Apes.” ? She doesn’t really look black to me
    Seems to me that Barr is has not made up a new slur, but is STUPIDLY quoting other people who many times in the past have compared Jarrett to a particular character (found by setting date on Google to prior to 2017)
    \\Although Valerie looks a lot like Zira in Planet of the Apes (smirk)//
    \\ Dr. Zira is the only female who speaks! Her words are the source of her power. Her male co-workers look up to her and follow her orders://

      Bitten off more than the EU can chew in Italy? Don’t think it will be allowed to happen. Italy leaving the Euro could sink the world economy for several years.

      What is more likely, in my view, is punitive measures being taken by the EU against Hungary and Hungary, in response, saying “Go whistle!” In Hungarian, of course. That will provoke a serious crisis because the EU would not survive backing down against any Hungarian intransigence with the other ‘Visegrad States’ plus Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, maybe the Netherlands & Demark, and the UK all looking on.

      Italy leaving the Euro means immense pain for Italy and the world. Hungary getting stroppy with the EU, and vice versa, means immense pain for the EU and the EU alone. Bring it on!

    The EU house of card’s is looking shakier by the day. I raised my suspicions about the French election results some time ago after LePen’s momentum seemed to fade rapidly and IMHO rather surprisingly. Sky news at the weekend had a guy on and he was asked can the Italians afford to get out of the EURO etc. My reply would have been can they afford not to.
    PS Tommy Robinson, Rosanne Barr, free speech is now a long and distant memory folks.

    Lots of articles on the Beeb about the ‘balcony rescuer’, the BBC are certainly wetting themselves with glee over this, not to belittle what he did, but how many stories will this generate? I expect Roseanne Barr will be hung, drawn and quartered on the Beeb because she dared to make some comment about something not particularly important (Linked to Obama so it must be ‘news’. Didn’t he order Libya to be bombed?). Belgium killer of three? I’m sure this has only been reported as it is actually ‘news’, I bet it’ll be quietly dropped tomorrow. Italian politics? I’m sure this will be linked with xenophobic, racist imperialism in the coming days and weeks. How dare voters vote for such a heinous thing as democracy and freedom of speech! I bet the Lira won’t be making an appearance anytime soon. They’ll be browbeaten into submission like the Greek’s and the UK, with lots of encouragement from the Beeb. Oh, It’s also the fault of the fire brigade that so many people died in the Grenfell fire. So ‘why is everybody talking about Jamie’? No idea, is this actually news? There’s also a transgender man moaning a lot about something or other. So, six or seven stories being pumped at the moment, but only one or two are actual news. What is my licence fee actually being spent on? Obviously not on ‘news’.

    I can’t be bothered to investigate the finer points of the Roseanne ‘scandal’ (life’s too short) but it seems she committed a fourfold crime:
    1. She appears to have made fun of a woman’s looks.
    2. She appears to have compared a black to apes.
    3. She appears to have dissed islam, or at least the Muslim Brotherhood.
    4. She appears to have mocked a Democrat.
    For these crimes there can be no forgiveness.
    Allegedly Trump once said something complimentary about her, which is perhaps the most unforgiveable crime of all.

    But at least the non-story is getting pride of place on the Beeb webshite, way more important than muslim murder in Belgium or Italy teetering on the edge and threatening the whole EUSSR rotten edifice.

    What do you think the BBC is leading with on its news home site at 10pm Tuesday May 29, 2018?

    1 Tommy Robinson jailed for contempt for publicising the latest muslim rape/torture pedophile gang trial.

    2 Financial markets take fright over possibility that Italians might get the type of government that they recently voted for in a general election.

    3 Muslim gunman kills three innocent people in cold blood in the Belgium city of Liege shouting Allah Akbar.

    4 American sitcom cancelled by ABC.

    Right fourth go.. At this time the BBC thinks the cancellation of the Roseanne Barr sitcom is the top billing story of the night. The show gained solid ratings by tackling American political divisions in a manner seen as sometimes sympathetic to Trump voters. BBC correspondent James Cook started his story “Well that was predictable”. Surely this story is not the most important event of the day for the British public – just the one that pleases the biased BBC the most.

    Here in UK we have this idea that the FBI is an honest, righteous organisation established to up hold the law. Whilst I believe that the lower level operatives do just that, the higher ups are operating corruptly at the behest of the Federal government and the DoJ. If you go back to the lack of investigation into the JFK assassination, the crash of TWA800, the total lack and suppression of facts behind 9/11 you will see the duplicity behind the organisation.

    Anita McVeigh, bBbc 2, just tried her hardest to get Phil Redmond to toe the party line with regards to the death of the Arts in Britain after Brexit but fair play to Phil, he was having none of it. Not really what I expected from the creator of Brookside, but It seems that Phil does indeed write his own script and think for himself, unlike the 96% of his posing pals in the Creative Industries Federation who voted for Remain obviously because of their fear of losing funding post Brexit. Let’s not pretend there is any other real reason than money, not the fear of losing freelance colleagues who are apparently mainly foreign as they protest.

    He stressed opportunity, rediscovery of local talent, cities like Liverpool not having to go through London to Brussels for funding, Britain already globally recognised on its own, freedom from the EU offering the regions to the opportunity to rediscover and celebrate their culture and talents.

    After pointing out that China chose Liverpool for the Terracotta Army to visit, outside the usual Euro favourites, he finished Anita/ the bBbc attempts at painting a picture of an imminent cultural apocalypse with,

    ‘Fundamentally, Europe is just a small part of a great big world remember’.

    There is a report about this on the website of course, no mention of Phil, and as usual, ‘comments could be going better’.
