Weekend Open Thread 6 July 2018

Friday seems to be the day our exit from the EU is going to be determined so the BBC in onslaught mode .

A week before a Head of State is due to visit and certain types are queuing up to disrupt it .

The Russians being blamed for another chemical incident so no more involvement of Engerland in the World Cup or maybe we ll win it as a protest .

and TR remains banged up with a politically delayed appeal process .

More than enough for us to rage about .Good Luck England

    I see the anti-Trump mob are advertising that he is coming in to Stansted Airport and to gather there for protest. I do hope his minders secretly decide to use a different airport. IMO it would be best if his plans are not revealed before hand.

    I wonder if any of the below Guardian article is true.
    I wouldn’t blame him for avoiding London. I certainly try to.

    Donald Trump to almost entirely avoid London during UK visit

    ‘Trump visit to put ‘unquestionable pressure’ on Police.’

    It is the ‘protests’ fuelled by the hateful BBC which creates the pressure, not Trump. He just wants to do the job he was elected to do, thanks to that ‘Far Right’ notion of democracy. Why can’t the BBC tell everyone to grow up and do something useful instead? Pick up litter; read with an immigrant child; cook a meal for someone. There are a billion better things to do than burden our Police with this who should be dealing with the crime epidemic in London.

    They always blame the victim: people who do not like rape gangs and no-go zones have a mental illness/phobia; working hard at horrible jobs to keep this country running makes you a member of some oppressive ‘patriarchy’ which wrongfully earns extra money for doing all that extra work; anyone who can see open borders lead to a divided and rudderless society is ‘xenophobic.’

    Heard the tv on in other room as the grandkid was watching BBC Childrens TV – kept hearing ‘Muhammed’ so peaked my interest . The piece was about a young lad called Muhammed who banged his lip on the slide – then Muhammed in the hospital waiting room with his Dad and his sister with tea towel wrapped round her head. Then Muhammed had his lip sewn up by a surgeon -name unpronounceable .Fk me I never realised this amount of indoctrination was going on she is 5 for fks sake.

      I think that the purpose of this tactic of ‘getting them young’ is to normalise all things islam so that as islamisation progresses there will be no protest or uprising. If this is Government policy, it would appear that the BBC is doing as it’s told. As usual though, I don’t think it’s just the BBC.

    It’s been quite a while since I posted on this blog, but I have been necessarily out of the country a lot – at no expense to the taxpayer, of course.

    However, this morning’s BBC News Channel had some former immigrant who, according to Nagger Munchetty, had arrived here as a youngster with only a few quid in his pocket. He had thereafter qualified as a doctor (no plaudits from the BBC for the generosity of the British people in this respect, of course), and had recently won a Rotary ‘World Peace Award’ at some Welsh Eisteddfod. Cue unfettered adoration from the BBC sofa-sloths.

    He explains that this award was for setting up a Skype system to offer 24-hour services to areas around the world from doctors (almost exclusively employed by the NHS, he admitted), targetting a 4-hour response time. Well, as far as I know, remote consultation via Skype has been going on for years, but let us pass on that for the moment. He mentioned that he now only works part-time as an actual NHS doctor, that he has another grandiose role as some sort of ‘NHS Entrepreneur’ – whatever the heck that is, but I guess it probably involves exporting NHS services and Staff abroad at no cost. But his main job appears to be delivering this ‘world-wide’ (i.e. NHS-resourced) service, with an administration staff to co-ordinate these needs and services. I wonder if that staff is NHS- or taxpayer-funded – he didn’t make that clear.

    However, for once (cue the ‘Hallalujah Chorus’ in the background), Chris Mason, the sofa-butt Beeboid, asked exactly the right question, along the lines of “How would you respond to the average viewer who might express some incredulity that the tax-payer-funded NHS, which is forever these days claiming massive shortages of resources, can offer a 4-hour response time, from highly-qualified NHS medical staff, 24 hours a day, to other countries around the world – free of charge ? The response was that 1. This service increased the morale of Junior doctors as a whole (?????? – really – supported by what evidence, you might ask, since this was touted as being a breakthrough offering which clearly wasn’t well-known about ). 2. The organisation provided support for NHS doctors travelling abroad to provide free services in other countries. 3. Another piece of drivel about it being a world-leading service provided by the NHS.

    Now, keen-eyed and -eared viewers might well have spotted the slight flaw in that answer – namely it didn’t in the slightest way offer an answer to the question asked. But , of course, Munchetty and Mason simply accepted his response and moved on to a little more hero-worship to close the session.

    Job done – screw the British taxpayer, and then in other settings, blame them for not paying enough in taxes to support the WHS (no typo there – it is fast becoming a ‘World Health Service’, provided, free of charge, by the British taxpayer). And as for these two intrepid Beeboids – what on earth gives them the idea that they are anything other than news-READERS, if they can’t get an answer to a very simple, but fundamentally important question.

    Had this been a Conservative government minister touting a freebie for BRITISH taxpayers, I seriously doubt the attitude would have been quite as pleasant. Never mind, I expect that, during the winter conference season, that real question will be taken up at the ski-resorts frequented by NHS staff and their families, at our expense, during the early-morning conference sessions which only get in the way of the taxpayer-funded ski holidays they so richly deserve.

    Now, if this guy had actually created a Skype-based service which meant that NHS staff could ‘virtually’ attend these conferences without leaving their posts in their UK locations – I might have been really impressed ! But you won’t hear that cost-saving point being made by any beeboid, who might just get to join these jollies as a BBC health sector ‘expert’.

    I heartily agree that Theresa May has appeared to dither, succumb and back down on various aspect of Brexit. However, I think, honestly ? who would want the job of PM ? who would be a better replacement ? Corbyn ? Jacob R-M ? we can all moan, gripe and resort to name calling, but as the old saying goes — “don’t give me the problem, give me the solution”.

    Which PM in modern times during their tenure has had as many COBRA meetings to deal with everything from bombings, terrorist attacks, poisonings, Brexit, devastating fires, opposition to visiting heads of state, plus a disastrous oratory at a party conference. Because I cant think of any who have had to confront issues not of their making.

    Personally, I wouldn’t blame her if she threw her hands up and said “F…k the lot of you, find someone else who could do any better”.

    I’ve just seen oily Michael Gove on The Marr Show explaining to us bemused and befuddled Brexiteers just why we’ve got a fabulous deal. You know, I think some of us have been fretting, but as Michael explained, there’s really no need. This really is the best of both worlds.
    He’s so smooth, plump and plummy voiced and completely unflappable. Did we vote for this, he was asked.
    “Yes! Unequivocally.”
    If in doubt I always go back to the old masters and I fetched down a musty, dogeared copy of Animal Farm. The book fell open at page 57 and I read “Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm to set the animals’ mind at rest. He assured them….It was pure imagination…A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, “Are you certain this is not something you have dreamed, comrades?””
    Did we dream that we’d be completely outside the customs union? Did we dream that we would have complete control over who we trade with and who comes into our country? Did we dream the 17.4 million votes?
    Apparently Boris, who pathetically, has allowed himself to be bullied into voting this fudge through said this deal was utterly awful. “You can’t polish a turd” was his colourful expression.
    No, you cant.
    But I bet Michael will give it a good go…

      I’m wondering if they even have lineups in Canada. If so, what prevented a lineup in this case?

      This is a truly disgusting example of liberalism gone insane. Either that or the ‘judge’ is also from a ‘different cultural background’ and knew exactly what she was doing.

      So, we’ve waited two years for this so-called deal. You may as well laugh really, never much point crying over such an inevitability.

      Plus there’s a possibility that the EU won’t find the first draft to its liking and will demand more concessions, which of course Mrs May will oblige.

      I hope the remainers are happy now, especially the CBI and those ‘captains of industry’ who regularly pop up to say they’ll have to sack everyone and move where the subsidies are better.

      Unless the Cabinet have a cunning plan that will out-Baldrick Baldrick x several trillion in terms of success, it does look as though we are dependent on the other 27 States led by Barnier to save us from BRINO by rejecting the UK offer.

      Why would the keen Brexiteers in Cabinet just cave in like that? What could be going on? A threatened Civil Service shut-down? Maybe. The Remainer Tory Whips with enough dirt to blackmail ALL the Cabinet Brexiteers? Surely not. Govey and Leadsom are squeaky clean. A Remain Treasury so firmly in the pocket of the EU they would deliberately wreck the UK economy if we really, truly left the EU? Well, we’ve seen a bit of that from Mark Carney after the Referendum result but would, could Treasury deliberately damage UK Plc?

      Elements of extreme patience will be required from everyone but the PM must be dreading the Party Conference season.

    Interesting to see Red Andy pop up in the Times reviewing a book that suggests we need to abolish private schools such as Eton and Marlborough. Andy seems pretty much on board as he channels his inner Communist Trump….though, despite being a romantic old pinko he isn’t averse to earning a few shekels on the side on top of his Beeb mega salary…..I’m sure the good commie that he is he will use all the money to set up a charitable foundation to school underprivileged children.

    The thing is Red Andy just doesn’t live the cowboy, he wears the hat but when it comes to his own self-interest ‘The People’ can go hang. How many times in the piece does he say the private school educated people have a lock-down on who gets where and who gets what in society? Again and again he mentions the ‘powerful networks that make them a formidable lobbying force across Whitehall, the media and much of civil society’…well yes….we’ve just seen the perfect example of that as May uses brute force and low cunning allied with the massed ranks of the pro-EU lobbyists in business and the media to push through a very soft, in fact almost non-existent Brexit, putting enormous pressure on the Brexiteers.

    Marr and Co always talk a good fight about the underprivileged or the marginalised majority and how they are suppressed, oppressed and exploited and yet when the time comes the likes of Marr support the EU’s not so ‘secret army’ of stay-behind partisans to crush the People’s rebellion…and stand aghast at the Trump victory despite describing exactly why it happened, the result of a political, media and industrial elite who ignore the great unwashed’s wishes and instead look upon them as a disposable and expendable asset…that when too expensive [demanding more wages or benefits] can be sacked and their jobs exported or cheaper people imported.

    Marr’s solution to the apparent private school problem [though why children being highly educated at the parents expense and not at government expense is a problem?] is to end tax breaks, end their charitable status and limit the numbers of privately educated people in the institutions….quotas of course.

    Hmmmm….level down then, is that really the answer? Shouldn’t the real solution be for state schools to be targeted and improved and be made to churn out far better educated pupils? Isn’t it true that the reason so few British Black youth end up in Oxbridge isn’t because of discrimination, despite what the racist Lammy says, after all there are a very large number of Black and other ethnicity students at Oxbridge, but because they have been failed by their schools and family and community?

    Marr, a BBC senior political journo, privately educated and supposedly an intellectual and highly professional manages to come up with the wrong problem, and the wrong solution to the wrong problem.

      FE2 – The comment definitely needed to go and was certainly beyond the pale. – We do need to try and rise above the utter hate that is chucked our way by the left and not give too much ammo to our own pet BBC munchkins..
      However in the posters defence I also get bloody angry when you see the result of crazy immigration policies and the evil that is visited upon our own kids because politicians and the media seem to value the rights of some of the “vibrant ones” to do evil above the rights of our own kids not to be treated this way.
      But yes FE2 you made a good call.

    On the Sunday politics they mentioned Trump and his nato meeting.
    It’s possible there will be trouble with Countries not spending 2% of their gdp on defence.
    Only us, Poland and Lithuania meet the 2% spend.

    If I was Trump I would say to the rest of nato “we will help defend you only if you spend the 2% and those who do not pay 2% will get no help”
    This means that if Russia wants to invade Europe it will be through a Country not paying the 2%, Germany for instance, who pay less than 1%.

    If he puts this to them just watch the rush to spend 2%

    Divers have rescued 4 of the trapped Thai children in the cave.
    90 divers are involved.
    Surely the BBC should be demanding to see whether the divers are representative of the general population.
    I mean, where are the women divers? The feminazis seem strangely silent. What is the sexuality of the divers? And why are none of them disabled?

    Surely the BBC cannot accept unchallenged a dangerous rescue undertaken entirely by able-bodied men?

      I’m anything but a fan of Rachel Johnson, but I had to applaud her column today. She wrote how the families of the trapped boys were quietly awaiting the outcome, with no demands, no blaming anyone, no displays of shrieking and wailing, and certainly no finger prodding at authorities. Johnson herself admits that she would be beside herself (as all parents would be), yet the outwardly calm those waiting parents are showing is a lesson in restrained dignity.

    On the news they are saying that May ‘probably’ has enough numbers of MPs to stay in power, after all, lots of tories are remainers (and Brexiteer cowards)

    If she does win a vote how can she carry on when, if the numbers are so close, almost half the Tories want her out.
    Probably more than half in truth but some will vote for her to keep their job as a general election will wipe out the Tories for many many years.

    Is it possible that the Tory party members (big majority of leavers) will get a say or is it only Tory mps like soubry that decide who our prime minister will be.

    Anyway the two were chatting away and a term came up called ‘a peoples’ vote’ – which I said out loud to the screen – was the referendum . But apparently a’people’s vote’ is some kind of Referendum dressed up as something else.

      third, if you ever done any sailing, you know that most of most oceans are cold enough to kill the average person in 30 minutes. Very few areas warm enough after the end of summer for anyone to survive.

      Even by October, the shallowest seas in the northern hemisphere require a fairly sturdy person to survive much longer than 30 minutes without hypothermia.

      The Met people will not know that or have forgotten it, deliberately or otherwise, because cold does not support the AGW narrative. The BBC are happy to mention footie and fifty-two years since a Final over and over again but I’ve only heard one reference to forty-two years ago and the summer of 1976.

    Well here we go again three monkeys etc: no reference to the policing requirements of a gay pride march mentioned in my complaint:
    Thank you for contacting us regarding an online article on President Trump’s UK visit.

    We understand you feel the report implied Mr Trump was straining UK police forces.

    The article outlined the US president’s itinerary and explained how local police forces were preparing for his arrival. We also noted that protests are expected in London and Scotland.

    Mr Trump’s first presidential trip to the UK will be a significant event. We will cover different aspects of it as they unfold.

    BBC News doesn’t have a view on whether or not Donald Trump is a good president. A fundamental part of the role of our editors and correspondents is to give our audience an informed, impartial and comprehensive analysis of key news stories. We believe our reporting on President Trump has been entirely consistent with this.

    All complaints are sent to senior management and programme makers every morning. We included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.

    Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

    Kind regards

    A few facts I didn’t know in this video. I think the cost of ‘multiculturalism to the British taxpayer is more like £16.8 Billion (https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper/381) rather than 8+ as stated in the video. Which makes the essence of the video more horrific if one factors that in.

    It is totally impossible for this sickness to be spreading around the West without conspiratorial links between the political elite of all countries. They are taking their instructions from a higher authority and that’s sure not the voter.

    Just watched part 2 of ‘Russia with Simon Reeve’ on BBC2 and I have to say absolutely brilliant bit of TV.

    He mentioned how Putin is strong on patriotism and pride which are important values for Russians. Putin funds certain groups, that are a benefit to keeping Russia as it is, such as the proud Cossacks.

    He went on to South West Russia where they have a big Muslim problem and how one region was invaded by Muslims in 2007 and the patriotic villagers had to fight back. He also mentioned that loads of these Muslims are fighting in Syria and when they come back to Russia there will be a big terrorist threat.

    At no point was there any Islamic apology or Putin bashing. The BBC can still make good impartial programmes but these are so rare now. How can they make such a good programme like this but then be so biased on BBC News and BBC so-called comedy?

    Well worth a watch on iPlayer. There may still be hope that the BBC can be saved before they nail themselves into their own coffins.

      If I remember aright Tabs, I was miffed that Reeve went to some kind of boxing club -and seemed confused that the Russians fighting there were male Christian patriots who`d have no truck with gay rights as he chose to ask them about.
      The looks on the Orthodox clergy was of the ” what the hell would THAT matter to us?” variety.
      So, I remember it differently. But did get the bits you mention-especially in Dagestan and Islam as I recall.
