        Lobster, I tried to post a rather limp comment about a picture of Berkcow’s tax payers car which had a silly anti-Brexit sticker; the picture had a caption ‘click to enlarge’.

        I pointed out that no matter how many times I clicked on the link, Berkcow was still a poisoned dwarf.

        The comment never made it on the site because hopefully it was because I would have caused offence to people of shortened stature and not to Berkcow.

        But I suspect that the Guido site has lost its spine recently and cannot take any more robust comments, so their numbers are way down, not like this wonderful site where you can say almost anything.

        When you do sexual things like expose areas of your body that other men/women are not, you trigger the sexual part of the opposites sexes brain.
        It seems to be used by WOMEN more than men
        … and is a form of passive BULLYING

        Breakfast male/female TV producers know that, that is why they use a sofa cos they know MALE viewers will stay watching, if there’s a one in a million chance of getting glimpse up the female presenters skirt.

        The libmob assert that the reason why women’s outcomes is not the same as mans is cos of patriarchy.
        Whereas the old thinking was that roles originate with genetics
        ..and lead to things like girls wanting to be princesses being rescued by men, hence why old TV police dramas often had a female victim and a MALE cop hero who solves the case.
        Recent viewing stats showed that women liked watching cop dramas where women are the victim.

      I remember watching my local al Beebus news, Look North, where the female sports reporter Tanya Arnold, went to interview two male divers from Yorkshire (poolside) who were in the Olympic team.
      When they cut back to the studio the female anchor joked with Tanya with something about her: “Certainly not drawing the short straw to do that interview.” Or some such, because they were well made; good looking; young lads in their Speedos.
      I thought at the time, if an older male presenter had dared to say the same about two young; female; swimsuit clad divers, to a male sports reporter – they’d be lucky to keep their job.

      And 3 days before in Stockport…

      “Man killed as car hits people outside Stockport club”
      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-44280287

      The original report hinted at a fight outside the club prior to the car hitting the people. That disappeared, so I imagine he just drove into them for reasons unknown!

      All I know is a few years ago, cars crashing into groups of people was extremely rare. Yet here we have 2 ‘incidents’ within 3 days within a few miles of each other. What are the chances? I wonder how many times it has happened this year, or last? Could even the BBC spot a pattern? Could it join the dots? We’ll probably never know, as these incidents will be flushed down the memory hole. But will we get to the point of absurdity, where… no, i think we’re already there. The BBC and the rest call them ‘hit and runs’ but with ‘murder’ attached as an afterthought. Sounds like terrorism to me.

      It’s not true that NHS staff are receiving just 1% more than in 2010
      – The very bottom tier have had substantial rises due the introduction of the living wage.
      – The rest have in the last 8 years progressed up the career ladder into different pay bands ..I don’t know what averages out to be , but it’s a lot more than 1%

    Didn’t make the front page, or pop us as a news flash at the bottom of the BBC web page. But I suppose police people getting stabbed is not a major issue these days.

    “There is no evidence to suggest it was terror related. But if we do find evidence we sure as hell will keep it to ourselves” said a police officer.

    I made that last bit up, but yeah it’ll be a terrorist attack.

    As the BBC continues to promote Islam (vlad at 10:12am) I was truly shocked to find this (apologies if it’s old news here, but a search didn’t show it).

    Not much surprises me any more about our political class and media – but this did. I had always given Theresa May the benefit of the doubt overall, because I thought that she was essentially a decent person with at least some judgement and traditional British views.

    Oh, yes, she’s making a total mess of Brexit, trying everyone to please and never will and hasn’t got the first clue about how to negotiate.

    But on the bewildering, constant appeasement of Islam by politicians and the media, this explains it all. You see it’s all the fault of the Far-Right (that’s you and me and and the silent majority of conservative-thinking people). Watch and weep…

    It’s not a conspiracy: like all who appease Islam, she just doesn’t understand, is badly advised and has never taken the time to study what the backward, barbaric ideology is about despite all the evidence available.

    As Home Secretary, she banned Robert Spencer of the excellent Jihad Watch from entering the UK along with Pamela Geller. Her prodigy, the munter Amber Rudd followed suit more recently banning Lara Southern, Brittany Pettibone and Martin Sellner.

    It is just plain ignorance and that is inexcusable. I know virtually nothing about Buddhism, Hinduism and very little about Judaism because I have never had the need or interest to learn. But after 9/11 I very much wanted to understand what lay behind Islam and have read extensively on the subject.

    The facts about Islam are undeniable to anyone prepared to take the time to find out. And this woman would rather describe the likes of Britain First, the EDL or Tommy Robinson as “hateful and divisive” and in opposition to “…common British decency”. You may not like any of these people but they all call out Islam for what it is.

There is no promotion of Christianity – even for Easter and Christmas – they will have quizzes and activities based on the pagan & commercial aspects of those festivals (easter eggs, easter bunny, present giving, Christmas dinner, Queens speech).

    On the subject of BBC Radio trails for future programmes, I thought after hearing one today for next week, whether it might fall foul of some peoples view of Contempt of Court and prejudice a trial?

    Well, a trial of sorts. More of a pre-trial. Some (many?) people are hoping that the Grenfell Inquiry will result in some criminal prosecutions. The BBC are broadcasting from noon, every day next week, a series on The Grenfell Memorial Wall. I would have thought that that might prejudice the Inquiry and, thus, any subsequent prosecution trials.

    The BBC might be well-advised to observe a period of radio (and television) silence, other than reporting on a day’s evidence providers, on the subject of the Grenfell tragedy.

            Hi thanks Annunaki. For your information I am beginning to document activism and activists within British Universities and it is a bit of a nightmare – outside of STEM subjects – it seems to be full of activists of various kinds.

                I am focusing on the Academic Activists – the professors & lecturers. It defines their “research”, their field of study, and their teaching. These academic activists spend their time re-interpreting and rewriting history, art, literature, culture … They have created tools to prevent funding agencies funding certain types of research, they try to influence what journals publish and refuse to publish …

                  Sounds Orwellian and does make one think what could motivate these prats with, it seems not much anything better to do, I was quite annoyed at C4 producing a programme about immigrants and general BME ie second generation immigrants wanting to ban statues and memorials in this country
                  It makes me think sometimes that these people want to create as much aggression and friction between our inhabitants as they can as all they do is aimed at attacking our own culture and they also seem to have a strange self hate that needs a psychological intervention

                    Hi Annunaki – it is ego-driven – often associated with their upbringing and childhood / teenage understanding of the world. The problem with non-STEM subjects is that it doesn’t rely on “proof” – it is “interpretation” and opinion. They enter academia with a “mission” and never much change their thinking.

    Compare and contrast Camerons lies during his election and Trump fulfilling his promises..

    The internet won’t forget Cameron’s lies, and neither will the British people

    If you delete all the speeches and programmes where you promised a better, fairer country from your archives and attempt to prevent anyone from accessing them without somebody noticing and asking why, the people serving you dinner are not going to pretend
    By

    The throne was golden and the lectern was golden and the speech was very clear: austerity will not be temporary policy in Tory Britain. It will last forever. Addressing a roomful of diplomats and business leaders who had just dined lavishly at the Lord Mayor’s banquet, the Prime Minister this week promised a “leaner, more efficient state”. “We need to do more with less,” said David Cameron, looking comfy in his white tie and tails. “Not just now, but permanently.”

    But he hadn’t counted on Ruth Hardy, a journalism student, who was working as a waitress that night. “The contrast of the two worlds was striking; someone said it was like a scene from Downton Abbey,” wrote Hardy in a viral piece for the Guardian. “Maybe Cameron didn’t see the irony; perhaps he forgot about the army of waiting staff, cleaners, chefs and porters who were also present at the banquet. Perhaps he thought he was in a room of similarly rich people, who understood the necessity for austerity. Perhaps it didn’t occur to him that this message might not be as easily comprehended by those who hadn’t just enjoyed a four-course meal. Perhaps he forgot about those of us, disabled or unemployed or on the minimum wage, for whom austerity has had a catastrophic and wounding effect.”

    The decimation of higher education funding was one of the first cuts the coalition imposed, in direct violation of their election promises, after taking office in 2010. Undergraduates are now facing tens of thousands of pounds of debt, and it is likely that the Prime Minister will find many more disgruntled students serving him dinner before he leaves office. Of the many kinds of revenge angry waiting staff can take, a Guardian article strikes me as amongst the most considerate.

    We are no longer living in an era where power is permitted to speak only to itself without pushback. It is significant that the speech in which Cameron chose to announce permanent austerity – a clear contradiction of his earlier position that his party “didn’t come into politics to make cuts” – was delivered not to parliament, or to a press conference, but to the guests at the Lord Mayor’s banquet. Business leaders, captains of industry and diplomats – unelected power and privilege at its most scoffingly self-congratulatory.

    The Lord Mayor’s banquet is the date in the calendar of the City of London when the Prime Minister is invited to tell the well-fed business community how wonderful they are. The press and public are allowed to know what goes on, but we’re expected to show proper British deference. Cameron really shines at this. There are many points on which the former PR man falls down but when it comes to stuffing a tailcoat and telling big business what it wants to hear, Call Me Dave really comes into his own.

    The next day, the world found out that the Cameron government hasn’t just lied for years about its true intentions- it has attempted to delete the evidence of those lies from the internet. Ten years of speeches and press releases about how the new Tories were all about modernising conservatism, how they cared about the environment, the NHS, the poor. All gone. Not just from the Conservatives’ website and YouTube page, but from the Internet Archive, the world’s digital library. As Mark Ballard commented at Computer Weekly:

    Conservatives posted a robot blocker on their website, which told search engines and the Internet Archive they were no longer permitted to keep a record of the Conservative Party web archive…The erasure had the effect of hiding Conservative speeches in a secretive corner of the internet like those that shelter the military, secret services, gangsters and paedophiles.

    Cory Doctorow reminds us at Boing Boing that now-deleted WebCameron videos were…

    …launched by the Tories in 2006 with great fanfare and were billed as a way for the public to see a more natural image of the then-leader of the opposition … The message of transparency was echoed in one of the speeches now removed from the party’s website. George Osborne said in 2007: “We need to harness the internet to help us become more accountable, more transparent and more accessible – and so bridge the gap between government and governed.”

    Well, that bridge just got burned. The gap between the government and the governed, the gap between rulers and ruled, has not been so stark in a generation. The Prime Minister puts on a tailcoat, dines on fillet of beef and “a celebration of British mushrooms” and announces that he has lied to the public for three years. He has lied to them before, during and after the election at which he promised to be the most “transparent” leader ever, lied in a way that will make this country a harder, meaner, more unequal place to live for generations, and he expects not only to stay in power, but to finish his tasting plate of patriotic fungus first.

      Toobi, is that through a tax increase? At present, Brent Crude is struggling get back to the $80pb mark that it reached recently.

      If the Conservative Party did something like that it probably would result in fresh protests and Theresa May would be unlikely to survive. A new leader would have to be wheeled in for the Party Conference. My prediction of an October/November General Election might not be far off the mark.

      It would be interesting to see how Labour & McDonnell played that situation if it came about.

          He was right.

          As to Theresa May’s successor, I think the Beeb – if those are the ‘some quarters’ that you are thinking of – would quite like the current Home Secretary if the Conservatives go in government.

    And just look at how the prat dresses. Our Victorian industrialists who built this great city on their own risk and private enterprise will not only be turning in their graves but (hopefully) rising to join the forth-coming civil war.

    The idea of a city Mayor had been denigrated to the point of absurdity with Emir Khant but this is beyond parody.

    Good on Trump for hitting the EU (and Canada and Mexico) with those tariffs.

    His No 1 priority is his people and having watched him recently at his latest rally, I have to say that his passion for his country and put the US people first comes across loud and clear.

    If only we had a leader so unashamedly patriotic.

    And as others have said, the hypocrisy of any media living and working in the EU criticising him for the tariffs from behind our own protectionist wall is utterly ridiculous.
