Weekend Open Thread 23 June 2018

Al Beeb is carrying on with Project Fear in accordance with the wishes of the likes of Soros and the government is showing its true colours by increasing taxes. Not much hope of al Beeb changing any time soon but we must fight on showing the bias reason for change.

      So Diane Abbott’s Guardian letter is trying to mobilise a protest-jihad against Tommy supporters ?
      …. And since Tommy has made reports from Israel & has supporters there, Diane’s action fits with Labour’s anti-Semitic culture.
      ( I struggle on facebook or Twitter to find posts supporting her letter, I find more opposing it

      This morning the BBC headlines on Radio 4 was against Trump again – surprise , surprise ! But they are LIARS when they announce that the policy of separation of children was HIS policy . It was the US law and Obama enforced it as well in his first four years. We didn’t hear any criticism then!!

        Lynette- Were you perchance listening to the programme ‘Sunday’, usually presented by Edward Stourton, but this morning by William Crawley on Radio4?
        I heard the anti-Trump bit, accompanied by anti-Christian sentiments and an examination of Bible study in the White House. I was astonished at the extent to which this programme has been hijacked for political purposes, under the guise of ‘Religion and Ethics’. (Cultural Marxism?)
        Crawley has a no-holds barred approach. One biased topic flows seamlessly into the next.
        There was an item on ‘hate-crime’, which jumped to conclusions, presenting them as fact. The ‘far-Right’ were the guilty. The desecration of Jewish graves (in Urmston?) was discussed. It was then mentioned that Muslims were also victims of ‘hate-crime’.
        I think Ian Levy may have been the person brought in to discuss the destruction of gravestones.
        ‘Professor of Hate Crime’, Chris Allen, University of Leicester came on. (Can you believe the title? Goebbels would have been proud.)He mentioned various organisations he held responsible for these hate crimes, which had ‘increased 40% since Brexit’, including ‘Britain First’.
        This flowed into the Trump item. Apparently a Ralph Drollinger presents a White House Bible Study, which VP Pence, AG Sessions, and SoS Pompeo attend. Prayer took place. Obama also held these apparently, but they were ‘much quieter’. The link to ‘migrant children’ suddenly popped up. Nazism was mentioned by Tara McElvey of ‘Catholic Extension’. Or was it Jo Boland?
        She discussed what was being ‘done to’ Latin American ‘migrants’ on the US/Mexican border. We need not go into details: this is currently a favourite topic of bBc propaganda. The horrible Trump, again.
        There followed an item on abuse in the (Anglican?) curch. A bishop (Singleton?) put up his hand for ‘mea culpa’.
        This entire programme, a model of self-righteous indignation, was based on lies, conjecture, smears, innuendo etc. and was -pure and simple- political propaganda. Ethics? Don’t make me laugh.

          You anticipated my comments on that disgraceful programme. William Crawley has ‘form’, of course. I found the piece on prayer meetings and the evangelical Christians in the White House especially egregious by the way it was snidely presented as something not to approved of, but deplored. Jeff Sessions singled out and made to look like a bigot on ‘child separation’ – whereas those of us who have heard his full comments know that he was pointed out that they were obliged to follow the law in respect of illegal immigrants The programme also said that it was ‘Trump’s policy: a truthful broadcaster would have said ‘Obama’s policy inherited by Trump’ and that children were also separated from their illegal-immigrant parents during the Obama presidency (following the law).

            Martin- Strange, how the increase in ‘hate crimes’, aimed at Jewish people, rose in Britain after a certain influx, a pictured mirrored -after the same sort of influx- in Germany. Strangely too, Germany has had no Brexit, which ‘Sunday’ skilfully linked to ‘hate crime’. Nor could any of us possibly think of a political party in the UK, in which anti-Semitism has been a problem. Not a ‘far Right’ party, I hasten to add.

            Could all be coincidence, of course. I’m not as certain as ‘Sunday’ was, about who is guilty of what…

              1. Bypassed the “anti-Semitic rise” crap.
              This is due to Islam being given free rein by the Left and liberals.
              What else would they tell me about why Jewish cemeteries in Blackley are getting trashed?
              All else is B/S.
              And it`s ANTI-JEWISH assaults, not “anti Semitic”. That`s their lefty word to lump in the bacon butty with little Susannah in Weisbaden.

              2. But that TRUMP crap?
              Imagine that? A Bible study on Romans 13?
              And neither the Crawley bloke or his airhead interviewee had ANYTHING to say about it, apart from some fashion goss. The woman had neither met the pastor , nor even seen him as far as i could tell. But they both still felt able to dissect nothing for a few minutes and contrast this with Pope Francis wiping shit off migrants shoes as his old priests get their throats cut in Rouen?
              Catholicism is now Islamic window dressing for the BBC-they too crave the EU ring to kiss, they always did. Their flag is the Virgin Marys halo, queen of heaven stuff.

    I can’t remember the source, but one analysis goes as follows: the world is fractionating into 3 tribes:

    1) the Nomenklatura, which comprises all the groups fakenewswatcher mentions above; politicos, media, crony capitalists, bureaucrats,

    2) the Outcasts, who are unemployables, dole bludgers, migrant hordes, basically anyone who leeches off the state.

    3) everyone else, including everyone who does any productive work, from driving a bus to discovering a cure for cancer.

    The problem is that groups 1 & 2 pay no tax, or have fancy shelters to minimise the dent in their huge earnings.

    Group 3 pays all the tax, while having its values sneered at from above, and, incredibly, from below as well.

    I recommend watching Victor Davis Hanson on where our societies are headed. Here’s a good intro to the man’s views

    ‘Sarah Sanders kicked out of restaurant.’

    I wish they would not report on tittle tattle like this. ‘Something happens to famous person.’ Such a lazy cop-out. Well if a BBC reporter ordered a beer in my local pub we might want to tell them to f**k off, but the whole idea of ‘protesting’ is so infantile. And such an event would not be news. They just have to shove their agenda down our throats constantly, the billionth attempt to show Trump is Voldemort.

    What do they expect with all the hysteria they whip up? They can’t have a mature conversation based on the facts so they just liken opponents to Hitler and use children as pawns to evoke emotions. All from the side who wants you locked up for ‘hate speech.’ A young English man even tried to assassinate Trump a few years ago, I wonder where he learnt such hatred?

    Yes, when you click on the story it turns out she was disgracefully asked to leave the restaurant because she worked for Trump.

      Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a bit more than a secretary. She is the White House Press Secretary. She is a tough cookie and it’s unwise for the MSM to take her on.

      The BBC report in the link was rather poor. A key bit of information omitted was that the restaurant is located in a small Democrat-supporting town hemmed in by a staunchly Republican county. Huckabee’s presence represented an ideal opportunity for the restaurant management to virtue-signal to the rest of the town.

      When management made it clear that Huckabee, as a senior member of Trump’s team, was not welcome, she agreed to leave with seven members of her family.

    Spot on Pug. Linked to that is the Beebs interpretation of the President’s employee being asked to leave a restaurant. They are practically joyous at this act of prejudice but imagine if for instance a Corbyn employee or Gina Miller was “thrown out” of one of Tim Martins establishments the fall out would have been such that the lefts mobilisation of the brown shirts to shut down every one of his chain would mirror 1930’s Germany.

    Thanks for a great post, Jane-ite. Since you seem new to this group, I welcome you.

    I have bitter personal experience of the pro-remain brigade. My lefty brother e-mailed me to rant cliches about Brexiteers being xenophobic Little Englanders, living in the fifties.

    I replied along the lines of: ‘Perhaps the people genuinely living in the past are the ones who haven’t realised their multicultural dream is crumbling across Europe under the double impact of aggressive Islam and unsuitable, excessive immigration?’

    I have yet to receive a coherent counter-argument, and that was two years ago!

    Are they talking about us ?

    That was the catchphrase from the almost-forgotten decades-old TV show in which a hard-bitten Fleet Street hack used to summarise foreign press coverage of events in Britain. Too tabloid and too near the knuckle for the modern mainstream. The closest the BBC ever come to a frank discussion of what they might be saying about us from abroad is the heavily filtered view from their Dateline London slot in which a limp lefty BBC journo hobnobs in a rarefied navel-gazing sense with some remarkably like-minded overseas journos who are all cosily and cushily ensconced in West London. You know Dateline London, it’s the one where mister nice guy Gavin Esler fauns over a panel of Brahmin-like internationalist bigheads with ingrained yet polite distain for the very concept of Britain and all her works. There’s usually a dyed-in-the-wool EU-fan from France or Germany, a Democrat-leaning Yank slags off their President (now that it’s not Obama) and an apparently civilised Arab hates on Israel and both Britain and the US.

    But I digress from my opening notion – are they talking about us? This was the phrase that popped into my head in a different context as I listened in on a discussion between the Blue-Peteresque TV presenter Naga Munchetty and her guest, a consultant paediatrician, on the subject of childhood obesity initiatives – which forms, mind you, against a background of impending NHS-sugar-coated tax hikes, the BBC TV news top headline this morning. I choose the formulation listened in with care. It was a conversation about us the viewers rather than one conducted with us. Two would-be metropolitan elite societal engineers were chatting nicely about the best way to farm their crop of us – joe and juliet and little jimmy and jocasta public. American conservatives, justly wary of single-payer healthcare and by the way now receiving hefty Obamacare premium increases – were they privy to this interview segment – would have surely tutted in recognition and perhaps explained that when you seek to nationalise healthcare you inevitably invite the State in to manage every facet of your existence. To confirm this control-all maternalistic state of play our guest doc comes out with the new and rather sinister motto: “Not just cradle to the grave but conception to the grave”. Of course I can switch off – but as they’ve just told us – there’s to be no escape. The State, Death and Taxes.

    This morning Naga says ..and pro brexit politicians have been saying we need…..followed immediately by 10,000′ thousands marched in support of remaining in EU yesterday…So a positive for Brexit immediately countered with a positive for EU.
    A complaint going in …and they can’t say they couldn’t cover all marches because they had video of it!

    This little video is nothing more than outright propaganda, something the BBC is increasingly indulging in. What are these “truths” the BBC reveals?

    1. The West is not being swamped by refugees, because the vast majority are fleeing terrorism and conflict, not bringing it.
    2. Cities will drown because climate change.
    3. Satellite images of fire show forest clearance and gas flares from fracking, showing human-led climate change.
    4. Light pollution is a problem but where it’s falling it’s because old people, boo hiss, are dying and not so much nasty energy is used.

    In short, it’s propaganda dressed up as science. The BBC is quite shameless.

    I’m afraid I missed yesterday’s pro Brexit march through central London and it seems our beloved MSM missed it as well. My apologies, I really feel I should have gone, but I decided to enjoy the sunshine and work on my overgrown allotment. Anyway I had my little portable radio with me to keep abreast of events.
    No surprise that the Beeb didn’t mention our demo at all. “There’s tens of thousands marching against Brexit” cooed some breathless BBC bint.
    Classic FM was just as bad; indeed it was the lead story! Strange, Tommy’s big get together of a fortnight ago in Whitehall didn’t even get mentioned, but still…
    At least on LBC they acknowledged the existence of an alternative march….but that was only for congestion reasons and they forgot to tell us what it was about.
    You see, not that I need to tell anyone here, it’s not just the parasitic BBC that we’re up against. It’s the establishment. Whether it’s the industrial scale rape of working class white girls by RoPers, the justifiable outrage at the imprisonment of a man trying his best to expose this horror, or a march through London, our media is so foul and so biased they can only be described as fifth columnists.
    We’re living in really strange times. Feminists, parliamentarians and the media squeal about the unpleasant and creepy “up skirting” but cock a deaf un’ when it comes to the utterly despicable, sub-human practise of FGM.
    I often wonder what our old mate George Orwell would make of all this.

    I take it that by now, you have heard every appalling detail of the stomach turning tragedy of Grenfell Towers. 72 people died, and the BBC has consistently points the blame at the Tory party for those deaths.

    You may just about have heard of the 600-1000 deaths at Gosport Hospital. According to the inquiry hundreds of people died from, at the least, medical incompetence, but what may be something far more sinister. Detectives claim that ‘political interference’ prevented them from investigating the deaths. The deaths took place under the Labour government from 1987 to 2001. Dr Jane Barton was found (quietly) guilt of some of the deaths and retired from practice. The matter was then hushed up.
    An inquiry was forced by the loved ones of those killed.

    Where is the BBC please? 77 dreadful deaths in an accident counts for far more than hundreds of deaths in an NHS hospital. If there had been 1 death in a private hospital would the BBC be so coy about reporting the news?

    It’s not just the deaths, but the NHS cover up and the public need to know the full facts about the state interference preventing the original inquiry.

    Come on BBC, be honourable for once in your miserable, conniving lives.

      The deaths at the Gosport Hospital only involved old, bed blocking white people (the very people costing the NHS a fortune, allegedly), not the sort of people the BBC concern themselves with. The Grenfell fatalities however, involved an entirely different set on people held in high esteem and reverence by the BBC and their fellow travellers.
      As to the political interference, this was nothing more than Common Purpose infiltrators watching each others’ backs. The NHS management, Police, local councils, media, justice system, etc., are crawling with the bastards. That’s why I think it will be an absolute waste of time and money for any outside force to be investigating Hampshire Police as to its failings.

        ps: With voice recognition software – it may be possible to get audio copies of these broadcasts – and then run them through the voice recognition software. So here is a general question to all: has anyone have experience of doing this?

    Of course – this reveals one of the perks of the BBC – they get free passes to many of these music concerts as a quid pro quo for providing free advertisement for the event (this could be called corruption) – and then they get the British taxpayer to pay for all their expenses.

      Tucker Carlson is such an admirable expert in getting across the hypocrisy and cant, in just a 4 minute succinct commentary, of the virtue signalling left in the USA, that surely nobody can fail to admire his journalistic dexterity? I could listen to his interviews all day .. he never loses his cool but his understated but amusing facial expressions and his rapier wit in filleting these pathetic SJW’s is priceless.

      If anyone is worth £600 K a year (as per Humphreys) it is Tucker. In fact twice that amount! I would pay the licence fee just for him!!

    Just received this notification from the Tax payers Alliance.
    Seems May’s largesse wasn’t what it seemed to be. (we’ll still be paying the EU probably)
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44555400
    And from the same.
    Lowest earners face high tax burden

    Continuing the theme of rising taxation, statistics by the ONS (Office for National Statistics) showed that the bottom 10 per cent of earners pay almost half of their gross income in tax. Key findings from our analysis:

    In 2016-17, the bottom 10 per cent of households paid an average of 49.5 per cent of their gross income in taxes. This excludes benefits in kind, such as travel subsidies, education and the NHS. This is an increase from 42 per cent in 2015-16.

    Of the 49.5 per cent of tax that the bottom 10 per cent paid, 43 per cent of this is made up of VAT and Council Tax
    John O’Connell commented:

    “The reality of the tax system makes a mockery of the lazy socialist trope that we can simply tax the rich more. The highest earning 1% in the UK pay an estimated 28% of all income tax. But what is also clear is that taxes tend to hit the poorest families hardest. The lowest earners in Britain pay more than 49% of their income in tax, leaving them with less and less at the end of the month to pay for life’s necessities.”

      When I was working part time a few (?) years ago, before they started upping the personal allowance, I was actually *earning* around 7K a year ( I had money from an asset which allowed me to work part time but live off part of my asset). I paid tax through Self Assessment online (I have to say I found this really good) but on my income I was paying around £150 to £200 income tax. Is that taxing the rich?

    Well I think the Freedom March was a credible event considering ;

    The elite were against it
    It was not mentioned beforehand by the MSM especially the BBC , which mentioned other marches .
    It’s in London , which is a completely different place to the rest of the country . The left/ liberals live there and can hop on a bus or bike to their marches , whereas the normal folk have to take the train or car .
    It wasn’t sponsored by professional agitators ,unlike the other marches where Vince Cable turns up .
    Many who are not of the liberal/left are still working so cannot attend .

    I think ” lessons must be learned” though , to make future marches more successful where even the BBC can’t ignore them . Is there a website for that ?

      It’s the question I ALWAYS ask of rabid Remainers, and they never have an answer because most have no real knowledge about the EU, only what they’ve been told by the likes of the BBC – that they are the righteous. They have no understanding that the EU is ever-changing and there is no comforting status quo.

      They have no concept of where “progressiveness” is actually progressing to (totalitarianism, actually, though they don’t want to hear it). They think that it’s all being nice and living in a hand-holdy, Like to Teach the World to Sing kind of world, and who wouldn’t want that?

      Not a shred of concern about democracy and understanding what is really happening to the unemployed of southern Europe, of course. Just happy to be eternal children being played by the corporations and their bought-and-paid-for politicians. And not a clue, not a single inkling of the big picture.

      I direct them, as a first move, to the foundation stone of EU, and Jean Monnet’s words: “Europe’s nations should be guided towards the super state without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.”

      At that point, they usually change the subject and start calling me names, including “Stupid”. And I cannot understand how they still do not get it.

        They do get it, but pretend not to. The reason so many scams work is because it is far easier to con someone, than it is for the victim to admit to being conned. Hence why so many people carry on sending money to the same scams over and over again, in the forlorn hope that their trust and belief will be finally vindicated, proving themselves right all along and the naysayers wrong.

    “Weapons found at the ‘Muslim Eton’, Darul Uloom”

    The Sunday Times has an article (pay-walled) describing how a private, muslim school is clearly a front for terrorism. Weapons and over £400,000 was found in the private rooms of the headmaster and his son.

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/weapons-found-at-the-muslim-eton-darul-uloom-255jnqs8f

    The school has history for promoting terrorism.

    What do the authorities do? – sack the headmaster but allow the school to carry on as usual.

    Meanwhile, in Russia, an England fan raises his arm in the air and the police release a statement saying “this sort of disgusting behaviour will not be tolerated”, give him a five year ban and start proceedings to prosecute.

There would of course have to be another Referendum on giving up Sterling (the pound, not Raheem – just to show that a cricket dinosaur knows his footie) and I pointed that out, too, to those participating.

      The instant meltdown and abuse from the pro-EU members of the Forum that followed was very revealing. The UK Pantomime Season had nothing on their “Oh, no it won’t.”

      That’s a clear insinuation by the BBC that the freedom march threw it, whilst making sure they can weasel out of responsibility as they didn’t actually say who threw it. As the left were there, we can be sure who the real culprits were.

      I refuse to believe there isn’t police video that shows exactly who threw it. That there were no arrests for it tells its own story.

      And why exactly was it relevant to the story to state that lesser notice of the freedom march was given than the required 28 days?

    And only in Israel are they given full state protection. And some Regents Park dhimmi slags ISRAEL off for not being nice to Christians. Great article-Professor Mc Eion formerly of Newcastle Uni until sacked for not being Wahhabi enough, with Saudi money as incentive.
    2. And the other brilliantly shows how Islam and the Left have been parallel means of creating victimhood, and self loathing in the west. He speaks of Iran and Syria, but Saids “Orientalism doctrine” is their way of breaking us. The liberal left in universities and the BBC are doing it for nothing.

      According to Douglas Murray, it’s the Ahmadiyya who generally turn out after a terrorist attack, eg: Westminister Bridge. They face persecution because they are not regarded as “proper Muslims” by many but organistions like the BBC tend to hold them up as proof that Islam is civilised.

      Interestingly, according to Wiki, the sect was founded in Punjab, British India, in the late 19th century.

      We must remember that while Christianity is just a religion, Islam is a “faith”, and therefore to be honoured and fawned over.

    Someone posted @LucyFrown’s UKIP supporting video yesterday
    – OK she is TR’s ex-camerawoman
    She’s just done a podcast about loads of things
    eg The way Dom Joly and others claim the Antifa attacking Tommy at McDonalds was faked (Their twitter thread )
    She says of course it was real. @CaolanRob put every minute on Youtube.
    – She told how once after being beaten up by Antifa, the next day she met with one woman organiser , who tried to talk to her and said “why are you saying you are all woman’s rights, when yesterday you were one of the ones beating me A WOMAN up”
    – After the day for Freedom march she stopped working for Tommy ..the movement spat me out .. maybe cos she somehow invited Ali Dawah against Tommy’s wishes.
    She says it’s weird people claim she is Antifa.(She claims that the first time years ago when she went to film Antifa she didn’t know the score so she wore a balaclava to protect herself. Then the Antifa just presumed she was Antifa as well)
    – “Ali Dawah , Mo Hijab, were talking backstage with people, I was busy doing something else .. then I heard crowd people were taking a dislike to him and I dashed out, saw Mo Hijab put his gum shield in. I was more afraid of these football guys cos unlike antifa they are not masked. We had an emergency exit route planned, but then it went wrong came up against a pen.. I felt so disappointed ..and I got hit by someone on crutches ..as he was trying to hit Ali
    … I said the police should arrest those football guys .. I can’t say if I fell out with TR”

    Well, I watched the scuffle live as people streamed it ..and the amazing thing was that it was very quick, like 45s to a minute..there were 3 or 4 guys who were out to throw punches, but likewise most didn’t join in and it was a Tommy steward who stepped between right away shouting “calm down calm down” and then it ended and the police got Ali away.
    It was wrong of @LucyFrown to invite Ali, cos that fails a risk assessment .. How can she invite someone who previously physically attacked Tommy, and not expect there would be trouble ?

    – She is now explaining Leeds
    She is coming across as young, speaking with over certainty egy about Leeds “filming was highly likely to cause a mistrial” (We know it didn’t and that the police had 70 mins to act earlier to stop TR, but didn’t)

      OK there is something wrong with her cos she Tweeted the Mail coverage of that Day of Freedom without comment
      Since the Mail falsely portrayed that 45 second scuffle as the main focus of the 5 hours I think that is FakeNews by her
      ..as is all info which has proper context withheld.

      She knows Antifa are most violent, but is a afraid that a small proportion of TR supporters are punch happy football hooligans
      .. Yes they are, but the peaceful way of the rest of the crowd was winning them round and that scuffle was controlled within a couple of minutes by the good guys.

    Looking at Red Pill Phill’s video and some other footage I’ve noticed ;

    The Remainers have the rudest placards and profanity is liked .

    The Remainers sneer , scorn and hate those of the population that disagree with them .

    The Brexiteers have more clarity and less abuse with their placards .

    The Brexiteers don’t hate , demean or slander the minority population that voted Remain .

    The Brexiteers are more likely to be anti government of whatever stripe and anti the elite , TPTB or any shadowy organisation . But not anti the people .

    The Remainers think organisations know best , the Brexiteers think the people know better , perhaps not perfectly , but overall better .

    Good post, pug. The BBC LibbyLefties and the Alt-Left do love little laws to live by though. They don’t go in for the big ones, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your might and your neighbour as yourself’ and love your nation and culture and traditions, such as free speech and democracy.

    They do love bans on smoking, Environmental and Sugar Taxes and “Should we ban parking on pavements?”

            He did certainly did in the past, taffman, think he’s now on the waggon. I know someone who met him recently and thinks he’s lovely but is a fairly hardline Labour voter. Biased opinion? May well be.

            Thing I find about some Labour folk is that they are somewhat deceptive, turning on the charm to win votes or supporters but are ‘snarling McDonnell gimlet eyed’ as soon as they have power.

      Never see his CPN do we?
      Wasn`t it Enoch who first mooted closing down the old psychiatric hospitals?
      So shouldn`t Campbell have cause to praise Enoch for his enlightened policy towards the vulnerable pornographer who was Robert Maxwells wobbly wallet, before his final dip in order to circle the sharks?
      No-he`s basically Lady Macbeth working out his ishoos at taxpayers expense, still trying to get David Kellys blood out of his nails, all that scratching can`t be good for them.
      I think he`ll die early, doesn`t look well does he?
      That hair dye might be giving off fumes, possibly to cover the smell of sulphur or booze.

      But the BBC seem to like him, you do wonder how his meds are funded.

        The BBC certainly like Vince and Tone as well as Campbell. Am surprised they didn’t bring on Broon, more often, for the full set. Vince Cable very clearly called older Brexit voters racist, xenophobic and anti-foreigner and he is now a major ally of Alastair Campbell.

        That went down the BBC memory hole.

    BBC news all over the obesity stuff. As the reality of what their reckless liberalism has created dawns darkly I imagine ‘news’ will increasingly consist of celebrity gossip, activism on pet issues and finger-wagging about minor thought crimes.

      The BBC will do an item on Obesity and blame capitalism and lying tory scum. They will then do an item on the need for food banks for the starving poor, and also blame capitalism and lying tory scum.

      I am always confused by the BBC. UI guess, capitalism and lying Tory scum are just always int her wrong and to blame for everything.

        Let’s tax Coca Cola, Pepsi and my personal favourite Vimto. That will cure our fat kids. Nothing to do with a culture where making our kids do anything remotely competitive or physical might upset those less able. Remember folks there’s no losers at this sports day. I could also mention the many £1.99 chicken ‘n’ chips offers in our vibrant high streets, but I’m better than that. Back on topic, the BBC seem to be making a big deal about some Roma who were attacked in the Ukraine and I thought thats a bit obscure. Then I read the piece, always a fuckin’ agenda.

          I’d suggest cutting back on the futile, fatten up the supermarkets’ Directors Government ‘Five a Day’ regime. I’m sure ‘some people’ think that because it is Government advice, it is OK to OD on the fruit and eat the usual veg which probably includes carrots. Fruit (and some vegetables, especially carrots) are loaded in sugar.

          If the stupid mantra ‘Sugar makes you fat’ is at all true, (btw, it is not) it is through consuming massive amounts of Five-a-Day that the UK obesity crisis is supported and not halted.

          Restrict yourself to meat and two veg with a small pud (which might include fruit) for six years together with appropriate exercise and obesity will be a thing of the past.

          Fed, there is a curious connection between the Fuel Duty Escalator and the so-called Obesity Crisis. When the FDE was introduced in 1992, it was observed that round fruit and vegetables, heavy with water, were more expensive to transport with refrigeration than flat-pack, pre-packaged ready meals.

          Causation or a mere accidental correlation?

    BBC 2 is now broadcasting the anti-Trump documentary ‘Reporting Trump’s first year’. I am amazed that given what we now know, that the FBI and CIA illegally surveilled the Trump campaign and were aided and abetted by the fourth estate…they should be so dumb as to expose their corruption so blatantly. Breathtaking stupidity.

      All through the eyes of the ….. New York Times! All with a background of ominous music, to make sure the viewer understands the Trump presidency is a disaster. They have reached General Flynn, whom they are trashing with innuendo. Flynn was induced to resign because he was accused by the FBI of lying to it, and was ‘persuaded’ to resign (the FBI reportedly threatened to go after his family if he didn’t do so). Of course, we now know that even Peter Strzok stated that, in his opinion, Flynn did not lie to the FBI. Dirty tricks, indeed. Back to BBC2, if I can bear it.

        Telling us nunes was colluding with Trump to prove he was being surveilled because he made a midnight visit to the White house. He didn’t. …He had to get in to the fking Eisenhower building to see the Presidential daily briefs which revealed the massive amount of illegal unmasking that Obama’s regime had initiated…yes it is truly hard to watch such blatant partisanship and outright lies

      Victor Davis Hanson is much more plausible on Hillary/FBI/Russia than the BBC, in my estimation.

      He even makes a couple of predictions:

      1) Obama is going to get dragged directly into this.

      2) Mueller is going to find some peripheral wrongdoing of an irrelevant sort, which will be used to castigate Trump. As Hanson says “He has his criminal, now he has to find some sort of crime.”

    France’s Macron, the BBC’s favourite right wing populist, blocks illegal migrants from crossing into France. The BBC as quiet as Marx’s corpse.

    The Germans stop new migrants entering their country and step up attempts to remove them (good luck with that). The BBC as non-committal as a statue of Lenin.

    Austria firms up its promise to keep out new migrants. The BBC quietly mutters about fascists.

    Italy (at last!) takes steps to save itself and blocks illegal migrants entering the country. The BBC in Stalin mode tuts and wags its finger.

    Malta sensibly decides not to have its small country overwhelmed by countless migrants. The BBC in Castro junta mode cares little for Malta’s reasoning, the BBC just know it is wrong.

    Trump prevents illegal migrants from south America crossing the US border, with the support of the people who elected him. The BBC is squealing full on revolutionary fervour, blowing away truth and logic.

    Did I hear right?
    On the BBC1 10 pm news Katya Adler reports on the EU minisummit to discuss migration.
    In the context of the boats setting off from the African coast to the EU she first described ‘illegal migration’ and then ‘irregular migration’. I nearly spilled my vintage Bollinger.
    Surely she should have said ‘vulnerable families with young children and many doctors and engineers’?
    Was this a mistake? An editorial oversight?
    Surely they cannot have tumbled that their multiculti open door Nirvana is now dead in the water and is being consistently opposed when European voters are given the chance?
