    Are the BBC covering today’s very angry demo in support of Tommy Robinson in Leeds?

    Meanwhile Ezra Levant of Rebel Media has produced seven videos of people reporting on these trials, even standing on the steps of the court, but no arrests.

    Londonistan crime update

    I haven’t bothered recently but on this special occasion I thought I’d mention that al Beeb is reporting a woman stabbed to death and six other serious separate stabbings in the last day. Half turn fun eh? Body count for Londonistan is 72 now – that’s nearly two thirds of last year. Our thoughts are with the
    Mayor trying to find excuses or others to blame .

      In three minutes I found these in the (admittedly ridiculous) Express:

      LONDON BLOODBATH: Dad, 42, was stabbed to death for ‘refusing to give money to youths’
      Holborn station EVACUATED: Police rush to central London after knifeman boards train
      London knife horror: Man and woman SLASHED after ‘intervening in robbery’
      WATCH: TERRIFYING video shows FURIOUS cyclist pulling HUGE knife at driver

      This is being replicated, to varying degrees, in all the highly populated parts of this country.

      How long before something snaps?

      Full details on the BBC News this evening, after Grenfell, S Lawrence etc

    The indigenous population are decamping en mass from these areas so let us hope they are doing this to each other, like the Middle East question the answer is straightforward, build a wall around them and sell tickets to watch the bloodbath, its what they do best, if they cannot attack the elderly, unarmed or female indigenous population they resort to fighting each other

    The future looks particularly, ‘difficult’ for we, “ol’ gits’. We will continue to relate our histories previous to islam taking over control i.e. the, ‘before and after’ and we will be penalised accordingly. This despite, I suspect, Treezers utter and complete capitulation to islam and in that process having secured some sort of ‘humanitarian acceptance of the unfashionable views of the ‘elderly’. Peer into the future and consider whether I am right.

    Looks like the London Stock & Currency Markets like the idea of British steel becoming a premium product in the US market.

    The BBC have demonstrated again today that their understanding of economics and trade went out the window when Steffie left the building.

    Time for a Reality Check:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-44319776
    Guess whaty? It’s anti-Brexit. Now there’s a really big surprise. But it’s in the “Entertainment/Arts” section so maybe it fits in with all the other fiction broadcast by the BBC.

    Maybe a musical interlude ? some grime and rap ? I have attended rock festivals since the late seventies with quite literally hundreds of thousands of people attending, and seen NO violence, EVER yet..our diverse community now :
    Whether it’s the running battles between mods and rockers in 1960s British seaside towns, or the “parental advisory” panic over the lyrical content of 90s gangsta rap, music has long been the focus of moral panic – and the latest is over UK drill, a tough, often lyrically violent subset of British rap.

    “Murders and stabbings plaguing London and other cities are directly linked to an ultra-violent new form of music sweeping Britain”, began a report in the Sunday Times, going on to detail a series of incidents in which gang violence was supposedly catalysed by drill music – MCs taunted each other in lyrical spats that, after being shared on social media, spilled over into real-life violence.

    It’s a conundrum as old as entertainment itself: does music reflect your environment, or shape it? Like violent films or video games, can people distinguish fact from fantasy, or do they let it influence their behaviour?

    Responding to a question on the BBC’s Today programme about a violent lyric referring to knife crime, drill DJ Bempah argued: “if that’s what you see in your environment, as an artist, that’s what you portray in your lyrics.” He added that the music: “can glamorise [violent crime], but it can’t force your hand to commit those actions.”

      Yep, have to admit to being a Mod back in the day – my boyfriend had the scooter with a thousand lamps and a tiger’s tail – guaranteed to piss off the rocker boys.
      Off now to listen/watch the fab Everleys on BBC4, and like all true brothers of pop they had a long falling out – ie Kinks, Gallaghers had nothing on Don & Phil !!!

      Think in the Punk era, Annunaki, one or two(!) bands were not above throwing beer and the glasses it came in at the audience and diving into the pack for a good old punch-up to finish off an evening.

      What surprises me is how restrained the eastern European Hard Core fans have been since coming to Britain at the invitation of our esteemed not Anthony Charles Lynton. I was expecting all sorts of trouble with Caribbean communities and as for Islamophobia, well, more the opposite really, loving them for the opportunities for a good old ruckus.

      Thankfully, it did not happen.

    BBC=Building Britains Caliphate.

    Note that the heroic school refuser (Mr Platt) is on Any Questions tonight.
    Bet he`ll be the hate figure, despite his being a local boy.

    Wanting schools gone is worse to the Left than is paedophilia.
    He`s right.
    The trouble that he got into is on the same liberal arc of evil as is Tommy, Donald and Aaron.
    Not so much Nigel any more, think they`ve removed his only testicle at LBC these days.
    Any chance of a booking system so we can bring Tommy his file in a nice sponge cake?
    If we say it was made using halal eggs from Jeddah, i`m sure he`d get it.

    Any one in any doubt about what is really going on should take a walk down Bury Park Luton at about 3 pm, settle oneself down in a (HALAL : you will have no choice at all) cafe and wait until the 12 year old boys exit their “special schools” and join you. if you are unfortunateenough to not be wearing the same pajamas as them and not look like an arab you will be subject to extreme examination, the adults are better at hiding their contempt, it is this very experience that opened up my eyes to the ghettoisation of this country

    Remember this from 2016?…..

    EU imposes import duties of up to 73.7% on cheap Chinese steel

    The BBC seems to not want you to remember that fact as it spins a tale of Trump and his tariff war destroying world trade and impoverishing everyone.

    I haven’t heard a single mention of the China tariffs by the EU in the many BBC discussions I’ve heard so far. Why not? Just more anti-Trump nonsense. It’s relentess. This morning we were told about the ‘end of democracy’and how attractive China’s system looks…democracy having failed the BBC what with people daring to vote for Trump and Brexit. Trump for some reason is always protrayed as someone looking to undermine democracy and a dictator in the making. Then again the BBC keeps telling us ‘America First’ means withdrawal from the world and the US not engaging at all in world events and issues…like Israel, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Iran and climate change….not to mention renegotiating trade agreements around the world. Yep…so isolationist…oh no…that was Obama…whom the BBC praised for his refusal to ‘interfere’ in world affairs.

            Amazing timing, it had been there for over two years.

    As I posted before, an FOI request (not from me but found on this new fangled interweb thing) to Beds Police resulted in no infrmation available about this, and they are meant to investigate things?? :

    Dear Bedfordshire Police,

    During a police documentary called “Traffic Cops” shown at 3pm on 23 May 2016 on the W TV channel there featured a car chase where a youth decamped from a stolen vehicle and escaped.

    A Muslim officer who seemed quite proactive was sick during the incident and he put this down to fasting during Ramadan which affected his performance.

    Please provide an documents relating to any feedback following this incident and also any risk assessments concerning fasting Muslim officers on patrol during the month of Ramadan.

    Yours faithfully,

    E. Sewell

    Independent Police Support Group

    SECOND REQUEST
    During a police documentary called “Traffic Cops” shown at 3pm on 23 May 2016 on the W TV channel there featured a car chase where a youth decamped from a stolen vehicle and escaped.

    A Muslim officer who seemed quite proactive was sick during the incident and he put this down to fasting during Ramadan which affected his performance.

    Please provide an documents relating to any feedback following this incident and also any risk assessments concerning fasting Muslim officers on patrol during the month of Ramadan.

    Following your request, searches were conducted at Bedfordshire Police for information relating to the series Traffic Cops that you have watched and requested further detail on.

    Various enquiries have been made across the force to see what information is held, but we have been unable to find any recorded information. We would need to be able to identify the incidents involved in the series and then try to determine which ones relate to your request. However, we have been unable to find any record of this and as such we cannot provide the information you have requested.

    Nice to know that those who impose muslims upon us are watching us, (video quickly deleted) maybe they could come out of hiding and make some comment about the hundreds of raped children, it will take some effort to delete that from the limited media, luckily, America is not so cowardly and has a sane attitude towards its inhabitants and protects them from immigrant criminals and does not vilify and jail those who stand up for our country, world opinion supports this ! the UK has shamed itself 5 minutes to jail someone objecting to muslim rapists, over 5 years to acknowlege English children being raped, abused and assaulted, despite yur full nkowledge that it is happening, you are happy to walk past 12 year old children being raped and ignore it, hang your f/cking heads in shame and I hope the same happens to your children

      It would be good to check perceptions vs. realities.

      For instance also the ‘balance’ of presenting staff reflecting the population as a whole.

      Maybe the bbc could be asked to provide such data, say by an FOI.

      Unless they decide such information is their little secret and exempted.
