Presidential and general thread 11 July 2018

Welcome President Trump – now that’s a phrase we won’t hear on al beeb . Al beeb is neutral , untainted by bias , a world class broadcaster , so compare that with the last time an American President visited Britain and so many embarrassed themselves in exultation.

It won’t be difficult to evidence the bias but it needs to be done here.

regrets Engerland But the boys dun good .
It will be painful to see the French Africa team take the Croats apart in the final but al beeb will stick a multicultural spin on it

    You know about all the miscellaneous anti Trump marches going on with dozens and sometimes a hundred unwashed wet lefties and muslamickles doing what they usually do.

    It appears that there is also a pro Trump March planned.
    However.
    It’s being banned, as is the free Tommy march.
    At least that’s how it looks.

    See what you think.

    Not the BBC as such, but nasty social changes as a result of BBC and MSM.
    I felt genuinely upset earlier… while walking along the road, I looked up and saw President Trump’s helicopter convoy flying overhead (on its way to Windsor?). A well-dressed woman nearby said “please, someone just shoot him – who’s got a gun?” Then she laughed. It seems it is socially acceptable to say that about Trump. I just looked at her, too shocked to say anything before we all walked on our own way down the street (I’m kicking myself now, should have pulled her up on hateful remark, but I was lost for words). The Biased Brainwashing Corp has whipped up a storm of bile and hatred towards this man, our ally, who speaks the truth, the like of which I’ve never witnessed. Someone posted earlier about moving to Canada…I’m wondering if I ask really nicely and fill in all the paperwork whether I can get refugee status in the USA on account of my mental health being affected by leftist propaganda, because this swamp runs so very, very deep….

      I will be moving west if Corbyn gets in. Just waiting for May to stand aside and let someone else take over the Brexit talks!

      As for Trump, I am neither friend or foe. I posted on a Facebook political group (open to all views) that I am sick of all the tip talk to get the usual snowflakes picking fights with me. I think that someone called me ‘gammon’ as well which I just ignored. Such more important things for us to worry about than who the Americans chose as their president.

      Trump will be there for four or eight years. The results of Brexit will impact us for years to come. Lets have someone do Brexit properly. I still support the Tories but I no longer support May as she has left the door to Downing Street swinging open for Corbyn to sneak in. That is my biggest worry at the moment

      Sadly, all lefty women are slappaz. Caroline Flint might be OK when she`s slagging off Soubry, but hardly Sarah Palin is she?

      Europe are taking the piss out of America with Nato. Yes the US benefit from their position but you can understand their taxpayers being a little aggrieved at seeing their tax dollars being spent to defend a bunch of ungrateful Europeans who clearly look down their nose at America.

    There’s too many massive festering issues in this country for politicians to handle now, if indeed they could or would want to. Things have become so self-administered complex that only a complete “Reboot” of the system will have any positive effect. And, we (certainly here) all know what the, “Reboot” will entail…………… I hope it happens within my time.
    Never before have I ever heard anything that supports a theory I’ve had since studying Physics and Astrophysics many years ago. Its always lingered in my mind until coming to the forefront a month or so ago during a Jordan Peterson video lecture in which, as an aside, he threw in that Physics plays its part in human relations. Wow! I investigated and I’m pleased to report that within the World of human interaction, the rules of physics apply and there are those Physicists in that small branch. I confess to having felt alone in holding the view that we can apply rules that work to the World around us out to distant galaxies but, for some reason, ignore the fact that Physics equally has a direct affect on our everyday social intercourse.

    – He gets jailed 20-month prison sentence for unlawful wounding.
    – During that time his daughter had been taken into care, but
    is allowed contact with him.
    – After that sentence he was detained by immigration* June 21, 2017 to September 21 * with an interim decision to deport, which he appealed against. No arrangements were made to enable father and daughter to maintain contact.
    – During that time The local authority and family court recommended she be given an opportunity to be reunited with him as this was the only viable alternative to adoption, deadline October 2.
    – He was released in time.
    – But the Home Office accepted that AJS was detained in breach of its published policy relating to detention and family separation.

      This is probably the story so far.

      Tatiana Vikeeva, angry about her son Stepan Vikeev‘s, plans to marry Yulia Skripal, who she regards as the daughter of a traitor, gave Yulia a small bottle of Bristol Vodka, Novichok Edition. Yulia opened her present from what she thought would be her future mother in-law on the park bench after visiting the Zizzi restaurant in Salisbury. The bottle was dropped by Yulia in the park. Then four months later, Charlie Rowley found it, took it home, and then took a swig with Dawn Sturgess.

        OG,

        I look at photos like that and I wonder – how on earth can you make useful citizens out of that lot?

        Count up all the SWP,Labour,Lib-Dems,Greens and remainer socialist Tories etc and it’s no small number. Come the revolution what will we do with them all?

        When their lefty charity/NGO/teaching jobs are closed down, and with a smaller welfare budget they’d need to pay their way somehow.

        We could use them on some infrastructure project, not HS2 – a new canal perhaps. But unfortunately they are the kind of people who are brainwashed to wreck any workplace environment they are in. Litter picking might suit their abilities, and if we can encourage the feminists down into the sewers to clean fatbergs – they will at last have achieved parity with the men.

        Or maybe just remove them all to one of those Hebridean Islands, so they can build their communist paradise and leave us in peace.

      I just want someone to ask these people what is the No to Trump all about. What is the question that they are answering with a No?

      Is it that they think he shouldn’t be allowed to come here because they don’t like him – sounds like they must approve of his travel ban policy.

      Is it that they don’t like his skin and physical features – in which case that is hate speech against a person’s physicality.

      Is it that they don’t like his crude talk of women letting him grab the pussies of groupies – in which case it sounds like they are slut shaming his interactions with the opposite sex.

      Still, at least it’s good to see a protester defending our Cod Roe fishermen…

    I don’t think this just slipped her mind.
    I think it’s deliberate.
    Am I getting this wrong?

    Also, this ‘vast’ sums of money that will no longer be sent to the eu (£12 billion or so?)
    This has all the signs of hiding what will probably be ‘huge’ sums of money that WILL be sent to the eu, Maybe £9 billion a year, less than vast so the misleading weasel words work.

    BBC Online News at 3.45 pm today.

    BBC Reporter is with the ‘demo’ outside BBC buildings in Portland Place London. Reporter cuts to the BBC buildings a few yards away and interviews a reporter from the New York Times sat in the studio. (Me too…).

    This NYT reporter in an open necked shirt, suit and a beard (Left Wing Uniform) then launches into a non stop rant against Trump. BBC reporter does not question or challenge him.

    I turned over to Sky News. Kay Burley then interviewed a snowflake psychologist about Trump’s behaviour. Snowflake said immediately that Trump’s recent behaviour confirmed his past behaviour. He apparently told over 3,000 lies in the past 400 days, she said.

    Make a lie big enough….

    I have no time for psychologists. Anyone can call themselves a psychologist. Psychiatrists however, have a qualification equivalent to a medical degree. They also earn about ten times as much 🙂

    So 13july2018 … people and media respond to President Trump in the negative.
    And in 2013 … no media and no protests for a man who says he cannot follow UK law ….

        Shakespeare in school is child abuse. Most of the words are obsolete and the rest have changed their meanings**. Yet somehow shoving it at black kids that don’t even have basic English it all becomes clear to them.
        Poetry in all its forms is also child abuse.

        ** Given the way ‘the left’ have changed the meanings of most modern words perhaps Shakespeare’s version makes sense now.

          Jim, it’s a long time since I read Titus Andronicus, but as I recall the plot involves murder, rape, torture, honour killing and cannibalism. Are you sure they won’t understand it?

      Simon Albury quotes Lord Hall
      “In the first year of coming back to the BBC I abolished gagging orders. We will not – and let me make this absolutely clear – use confidentiality clauses on anything to do with employment and certainly on equality and employment.”

      “I think there may be a couple of cases way back where by mistake we put in a confidentiality clause, but let me just say clearly that is wrong, we will not use clauses to stop people discussing their pay or their agreement with the BBC.”
      Tony Hall’s interview on World At One is not longer available but Jane @janegarvey1’s interview on the same programme still is

      • StewGreen says:

        Yes the point is Lord Hall’s misinformation
        – Yes of course it’s good business practice to have a confidentiality clause to keep salaries secret from competitors trying to poach your staff. But for Hall to say they don’t have gagging orders, when they do on pay.

    I have decided I will turn of all radio and TV news this weekend. It’s just too depressing watching and listening to the brain dead Eloi egged on by what passes for serious media in this god forsaken country.

    They really do deserve a Corbyn government at the next election so they can find out what real austerity is about when the financial markets go tits up. Assuming May’s botched Brexit doesn’t achieve that first, quite possibly on purpose to make sure we never again try to leave Nanny’s teat.

    It’s just a shame it will catch the rest of us too.

    In case no one has posted this already:
    1. Tommy Robinson protest is tomorrow.
    2. Tommy Robinson’s appeal is now scheduled for next Wednesday, 18, July 2018. And he’s got the most senior judge in the land presiding over it. That tells me the swamp is running scared.

    This is a lie. Trump said Boris would be a good PM.
    Nobody picked it up (Sadiq Khan, Lefty Wollaston, Kevin McGuire, other anti Trump guests)

    On question time.
    4 remain voters and 1 leave voter on the panel.

      For me, it is not just the BBC “Question Time” program but pretty much all of the main stream media – TV- radio – newspapers – magazines – billboards and all of those little images we are presented with when we walk around our favourite store, etc. etc. – which I find unacceptable and which offend me. However, I would defend to the death their right to offend me, it is everyone’s right to offend – Well – it was when our island was British.
      What I do NOT defend is their right to lie and to deceive the people of MY country that it is in their National Interest for an alien culture to become the “Traditional Culture”
      The mainstream media has no place in my life.

    Anyone think there is something ironic in how the Beeb and co lampooned Trump when they believed that he exaggerated the numbers attending his inauguration, yet they are doing the very same thing for the numbers of people apparently protesting him.

    The aerial photos of a “large scale protest” in Westminster Square looked no different than a normal busy day.

    It’s almost like they are making shit up…

    Just looking at BBC pictures of the Trumps and the Mays. Mrs Trump is a bit too glamorous, but please can they not quietly admit that May is ugly and no flashing of her legs and side shots of her face will present her as anything approaching attractive.
    As for spouses, I rather like comparing Treezer’s man with Arthur Askey.

        I cannot see how my objective judgement that Treezer, like Merkel, is ugly is in any way refuted by my recognition of my own ugliness in the mirror. I have accepted my condition and the media do not insult me and the world by lying about it. Treezer has the ugliness that is a misfortune combined with the ugliness that accompanies a life based on deceit. Its written all over her face.
