President Trump meets the Rocket Man today and its possible that the 1950 Korean War will officially end . Britain lost over 1000 dead in that war .So how will al beeb cover this historic meeting ? We can but guess.
This week marks a year since a fire in a tower block. There might be no better week to abstain from Al Beeb…but for those witnessing the bias here be a new thread .
Out of interest I’ve tuned into LBC to see what’s being said about President Trump.
Sheelagh Fogerty has fielded three phone calls all supportive of the President and she refuses to call what he’s done an “achievement” and is using her journalism training and weasel words to show her hatred of President Trump while badly disguising it as her being impartial. She’s now changed tac to focus on North Korean concentration camps and President Trumps lack of action against them and called the States “just about a democracy”.
Normal service has been resumed as an on message caller has been put through and she’s having a love in with him. Just what I’d expect from an ex BBC presenter.

It is not just Trump derangement, or anti-Brexit derangement, it is lunacy about everything, from deranged man hatred to love of cultural relativism. Feminists for Islam! This generation of Leftists are every bit as insane as the generation who supported Castro and CND, and the generation before that, who supported Stalin and the Soviet Union.
The difference being that this generation of Leftists (or idiots as they are colloquially known) have taken over the BBC. They are not just useless (as useless as a bicycle is for a fish to coin a phrase) they are posionous. They are totalitarians to their fingertips.
Scrap the Licence Fee.

Beeb,
The BBC reporting on the 1 pm news was a disgrace. No surprise to most contributors here. Anyone would think that Kim is the peacemaker. He has only come to meet Trump because he realises that Trump is a tough guy whereas Obama was a weak little pussycat.

I think the Font of Truth had the wind taken out of its sails early in the day by Trump’s success. After a few hours trying to come up with something effective the best they could find was Trump “sharing a platform with a mass murderer and human rights violator”. The much heard platitude “you can only make peace by talking to your enemies” does not seem to apply in this case.
Supporters of the “glorious NI peace process” did not not bat an eyelid when car bombers and other mass murderers were included in the NI government.

ID,
Whatever Trump does, the BBC will find a way to talk it down.

Notice our favourite broadcaster is in full propaganda mode today, on just about everything that’s happening, which is a lot.
1.Trump/Kim: Trump is hated by the BBC because he’s not Hillary. That won’t change, so all reporting will be negative, and all TV footage will try to portray him in a bad light. They will pounce eagerly on any slip-up, but they will come up empty-handed, like Sylvester the cat…
2. Brexit: like much of our parliament, the BBC don’t understand Direct Democracy. Fact of the matter is, if we wanted parliament to have control of decisions, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO POINT IN HAVING A REFERENDUM. They are part of the Representative Democracy, but when a referendum takes place, the people INSTRUCT THE EXECUTIVE. Parliament are the legislature. Parliament seem to be, or are, clueless when it comes to Politics 1.1
3. H.o.L. That part of parliament which is not only clueless, but also fundamentally ANTI-DEMOCRATIC. The sooner they ride off into the sunset, the better. My Jack Russell has more natural ermine than those pretentious fools like to dress up in. KEEP THEM AWAY FROM BREXIT, THEY SPEAK ON BEHALF OF NOBODY.
4. ‘Dr’ Lee: good riddance.
5. BBC Russophobia: It’s getting out of hand a bit. But then, much of parliament is subject to frothing at the mouth over ‘Russian interference’. More sanctimonious people who thought Hillary was it, and haven’t yet recovered.
6. SOS Aquarius: Nothing quite like aiding and encouraging the invasion of your own continent. German-owned. Didn’t work for Adolf, so let’s try again under another guise. This time round we camouflage ourselves in ‘compassion’. With our beloved Comrade Merkel, successor to Walter Ulbricht and Erich Honecker, in charge, that should fool the crowds.
7. ‘Neo-nazis’ on trial, says the bbc. They should be careful with their terminology. Nazis are socialists, which grouping the bbc is a bit partial to. They are ‘national’ socialists, but they are still SOCIALISTS. Please, bbc, don’t try to fudge this and link them to the ‘Right’. On the Right you will find conservatives, who DO NOT approve of violent methods. I am happy to provide all those in the BBC, who do not know what conservatism is (ie almost everybody), with textbooks on the political ideals of conservatism. (Also, free to Conservative MPs who also don’t have a clue).

Fifa World Cup 2026: Canada, US & Mexico v Morocco
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44428947
Usual glib biased slant from the BBC.
”One side has David Beckham lobbying and Donald Trump menacing on social media. The other is promising a “European” World Cup in Africa.
But who will prevail on Wednesday when a vote is taken to decide on the hosts of the 2026 Fifa World Cup?
Morocco and a combined ‘United Bid’ between the United States, Canada, and Mexico are fighting for the right to stage the biggest World Cup ever held – with 48 teams playing 80 matches over 34 days.”
Donald Trump menacing?
”US president Donald Trump took a slightly different tack, issuing a veiled warning on Twitter to “countries that we always support” in case they think about voting for Morocco on Wednesday.”
the full tweet
”The U.S. has put together a STRONG bid w/ Canada & Mexico for the 2026 World Cup. It would be a shame if countries that we always support were to lobby against the U.S. bid. Why should we be supporting these countries when they don’t support us (including at the United Nations)?”

We need to be clear that one of the key ingredients of the insane Western media coverage of President Trump is the dawning realisation that the West ( Europe that is ) no longer runs the world. That the BBC etc can pontificate all it likes but the nations that matter and the people that matter are just not interested or listening.
This is a profound shock to them and like the kiddies they are they are flailing around for somebody to blame. President Trump in the US and us voters in Europe who are slowly regaining control of our own affairs ( and really have little interest in the rest of the world).
To be fair it is not their fault that the power has shifted to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The USA is now firmly back as a Pacific power with little interest in Europe. The days of our Empire are long gone. Would that our silly progressive media understood this fully.
The G7 debacle could not have been more pointed. The US is not interested and Europe is just a bunch of has- been nations still wealthy but losing influence by the day.

you can’t simply shout PATRIARCHY
In a group of men fat Bob and Fat Bill choose not to cycle and fit Steve and fit Tom choose to,
In a similar group of women only fit Wendy chooses to cycle, the other 3 fat or thin don’t.
Now there are factors like safety, chidcare and risk-taking to be taken into account .. I bet most cycle injuries are men.

Jess Philips got 600 rape threats in one night
.. therefore the world should give up internet anonymity.
The Positives
Anonymity is an important part of free speech, without it Iranians would not be able to criticise their own government.
Nor would they be able to speak up about being gay etc.
The Negatives
Words are just words unless they incite action.
Jess Phillips isn’t really in any physical danger.
The tools
In the real world high-profiles don’t use a single identity
eg BBC staff could use a pseudonym account to express their own political views.
So far in proven court cases, rape threats have often come from teenage girls rather than the middle aged men that you’d expect.
(BTW she’s not a model)

I think President Trump has done something clever here. The 2018 war games have already taken place (April). It is an annual vent. Gives him time to evaluate if the process is going well. If not, all the plans are already done for next year and easy to start up again. Pity the BBC don’t have “analysts” that can work that one out.

BBC wales news was a disgrace. It finally reported on FGM and but only to say allegations of FGM ares about Islamophobia.
At one point the BBC stated that “Campaigners say it doesn’t happen in wales.” (Hmmm! Which campaigners?)
The BBC then said, there were only 17 cases of FGM in Wales last year, and they happened to children born outside the UK (as if that matters!)
All this is odd, as the BBC report below said there were 123 victims in Wales last year, which “Charity Welsh Women’s Aid, said those “figures showed just the “tip of the iceberg”.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-39630199
or, as the BBC puts it on the web page below: “An estimated 2,000 women and girls in Wales are living with FGM in Wales”
“Some 220 victims of FGM have been supported since 2013 by Bawso, a charity which helps women affected by the practice in Wales.”
“Charity Welsh Women’s Aid said it was estimated 2,000 women in Wales are living with FGM.”
Found here:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-43966944
So who is lying, the BBC or the BBC?
Or as The Guardian, the BBC in print put it in the item below: Muslims will do anything to hide FGM:

One law … notice that the article does not mention religion, Muslim or Islam …
When detective chief inspector Leanne Pook began investigating allegations that a father in Bristol had allowed his six-year-old daughter to undergo female genital mutilation, she hoped the case – the second to reach court – could go on to make legal history. It has been more than three decades since FGM was made illegal in the UK, but there is yet to be a successful prosecution. The first case, in 2015, resulted in an NHS doctor being acquitted in less than 30 minutes.

If you wanna cheap laugh look at the citation by the Nobel committee to justify giving Obama the peace prize a few months after gaining office . And that at some time 61% of Americans didn’t think he deserved it . In his always florid acceptance speech he cited the struggle to get saints like the Burmese leader an sang Sui shi out -well that was an achievement leading to war and not peace .
I’m not saying President Trump deserves the prize but he has done more than Obama ever did already- after all the last US President to have dealings directly was another beauty – jimmy carter about 5 presidents ago .
The polarity of Al beeb where 1 man can do nothing right and another can do nothing wrong just doesn’t register with the beeboids and I really don’t get it – even with daily evidence of bias here .
In the words of “The Stranglers” something better change

Nominations for the peace prize closed 11 days after Obama became president. What a guy!

I think Donald Trump should change his name to Ron Seal.
Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Trump bringing world peace not even the main story on Five Live news bulletin, and their mention of the story is perfunctory and says critics say (we think) the plan lacks detail.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It just gets better and better with Trump. How childish and pathetic they look for giving him no credit even when he is literally saving the world. What losers!

Quite right Beeb!
Last night – or maybe the night before that silly Berkshire wireless bird said that Mrs May’s ‘dilemma’ was keeping President Trump’s triumph off the front pages!
Silly bitch. Not so! I checked, and it wasn’t the case at all. Where do they get these junior autocue readers from?

Probably already been said, but the headline on the BBC ‘news’ website finishes with the words ‘but it appears Donald Trump gave significant ground’. Jeez, they just don’t give up do they. Snide comments, what else do you expect?

Chalky, you can never ever believe a single prat-note from the bbbc these days.
Negative, silly, a bit thick and above all, leftie trash autocueisms from their undermanagers!
Forget their ridiculous bias, watch Fox and others, and think of England!
Better still read the info we all like here, and it’s a much better place for blood pressure!

Apologies to all on this site as I posted on this thread yesterday about the EastEnders character Stuart Highway being indicated to be a paedophile. I may have jumped the gun a bit as it appears it’s a red-herring storyline that continued tonight with Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter reporting him to the police. According to Metro online’s spoilers he’s not a white, middle-aged paedophile but actually a white, middle-aged paedophile hunter trying to lure pervs out by posing as a child:
https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/11/eastenders-spoilers-paehophile-hunter-storyline-ahead-for-stuart-halfway-and-mick-carter-7598284/
Still, I’d be (mildly) interested to see what the scriptwriters make of this, and how paedophiles are portrayed in the EastEnders-verse. It’s not like they don’t already have form with another recent “torn from the headlines” story – about London knife crime, where all the stabby gang members were white English teenagers.
My basic presumption remains the same – that EastEnders will continue to exhibit a left-wing, anti-British agenda. For example, when ignorant, gobby, workshy Karen Taylor was revealed a few months ago as – surprise! – a Brexit voter.
Enough trivia. I believe there’s something else going on in the World?

Haven’t watched that shite, or ITV’s offering either for over 15 years, TC. Grim, social engineering posing as so called “entertainment”.

Toobi,
True. Even Emmerdale has had a story lately about historic child sex abuse – all committed by a white police officer.
I really ought to stop being so lazy and find something more productive to do in the evenings.

Observing brush applied, pigment based coatings as its solvent evaporates is a good substitute, TC. 🙂

Toobi,
Might as well.
Recently bought a new telly as my old plasma gave up the ghost. It’s a beautiful OLED model with fantastic picture quality.
Same old sh!t on it, though.

This document is so vague as to almost be meaningless, is how the chief foreign correspondent of NBC News described the historic signing by Trump and Kim of a document that could well be the first step towards real peace in the region.
(At 4 minutes 30 seconds in)
I thought for a moment I was watching the BBC.
