Weekend Open Thread 14 July 2018

Our beloved al beeb is in full anti President Trump mode . It gave up any pretence of neutrality ages ago and just rants in an unfocused group think way .

At times like this it is easier than normal to evidence the bias so please do….

      ‘On Brexit, trade, Nato spending, or China, the President has a habit of saying what more genteel folk secretly think’.

      Now who could have said this?
      A ‘right wing’ reactionary?
      Any number on this website?
      Any number of people regularly denounced by the BBC LeftMob?
      Nope. Matthew Parris!!!!! In Saturday’s Times !!!!

        Trump tells us scientific truths, censored by the BBC. On Climate Change, the President has a habit of telling us what more intelligent scientists have recently found out. That Man-made Climate Change has been proven to be a Hoax.

        In 2009 the scientist Gerhard Gerlich proved directly the “Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics“. Further confirmation of the CO2 warming hoax was obtained through thermodynamics and successfully finding a formula that works for both of the carbon dioxide atmospheres of Venus and Mars, as well as all the other planetary atmospheres. In 2011, Ned Nikolov & Karl Zeller introduced the “Unified Theory of Climate” which proved that the temperature relationship with the altitudinal changes of pressure, prove that the physical nature of the so-called Greenhouse Effect is in fact a Pressure-induced Thermal Inertia which is independent of the atmospheric chemical composition. Ned Nikolov spoke at the London Climate Change Conference on Thursday, 8th September 2016 about this. By early 2018, the scientist who had just proven that Climate Change is caused by Galactic Cosmic Rays regulating the Earth’s Cloud Albedo, Professor Henrik Svensmark, was invited to speak in the Committee rooms of the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday, March 13, 2018. In fact, for two hundred years, Astronomers from William Herschel onwards had known about correlations between Climate Change and Sun Spot numbers, this was followed by more accurate correlations with Solar Cycle Length and then finally, the Hale Magnetic Solar Cycle. By 2018 it had been established that these correlations are caused by the speed of the centre of the Sun relative to the centre of mass or barycentre of the Solar System, which determines the length of the solar cycles, or more importantly the 22 year, Hale Magnetic Solar Cycle. This in turn is caused by the orbits and masses of the Planets, short Hale Magnetic Solar Cycles have higher Solar Magnetic activity due to the increase in the speed of plasma within the Sun. Between 1913 and 1996, only one of eight Solar Cycles was longer than the mean Solar Cycle length of 11.04 years, the last of these was the shortest Solar Cycle for more than 200 years, the strength of the Suns magnetic field more than doubled, the cosmic ray flux fell by 11 percent and there was a 8.6 percent reduction in clouds. This caused alarmism about Global Warming which lead the United Nations to set up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), but this organisation was corrupted by environmentalism, politics, conflicts of interest and the corruption of the scientific method, as well as the fact that amongst the 40,000 delegates at the 2015 Paris Summit of the UN Convention on Climate Change, Climate Scientists did not dominate the debates that produced the agreement. This lead many Climate scientists to call for the IPCC to be disbanded as well as to set up the 2016 London Climate Change Conference, which was dominated by Causational Climate scientists such as Atmospheric Physicists, Solar Astronomers and Meteorologists. This also resulted in US President, Donald Trump, to end US funding for the IPCC in 2017, and to say that man-made Climate Change is a “Hoax”.

    Five Live ‘news’ bulletin has an activist saying Trump is a misogynist and racist – how original. Name-calling/ad hominem attacks are the lowest form of ‘argument’ yet are all the left have.

    Is the misogyny based on those recorded comments about – shock, horror – women letting rich, powerful and famous men do what they want to them? Of course no man ever talks coarsely about women in private with other men. I met my mates for beers last night and we were all talking saucily about the barmaid’s large vocabulary and tight grasp of calculus. He actually clearly loves women.

    Is he racist because he does not want open borders? I do not know where the racist insult comes from. It is just the lefty’s standard insult for anyone they disagree with. He has got more black people jobs than Obama, and for all Obama’s bullshit about ‘yes we can’ when you are unemployed the reality for everything is ‘no you can’t.’ Unemployment is the most wretched, degrading situation and Trump is sorting that out.

    I am glad the protests have been a damp squib. As well as being dangerously wrong about almost everything the Left are just so uncool these days which is a huge problem for them. What a load of feckless, whining wankers on these ‘protests.’

      I find the BBC’s posh left-wing middle class white people are racist against Jews, Russians, Americans and black people who do not support the white European Union supremacists, or other establishment elitists, such as those in the House of Lords. But most of all they hate working-class white people with white vans. From personal experience, I regard myself as a middle-class person, but both by Granddads were working class Grammar School boys, so I am not one of those posh middle-class morons who vote Labour.

      There were nice but dim posh people at University who wanted to play table tennis. I also remember a left-wing snob who expected to bet me at chess but looked rather upset at been beaten by a slob with a Yorkshire accent. But I do find that the left-wing snobs do like misogynists, but only if they lean towards terrorism and Islam.

    Wonderful trolling from President Trump at the press conference yesterday – turning round to PM May and saying, “Do you have fake news here in your country?” He also deliberately leans into the microphone and tells CNN’s Lord Jim Acosta (he behaves like he’s a lord or king) that he is not going to give Fake News CNN a question. Plus, he says to the MSM, “I am doing a great job – in case you hadn’t noticed.” Fun! (And if someone else has already mentioned all this on the earlier presidential thread, apologies, I am just seconding you!)

    It’s not only Americans who appreciate President Trump speaking up for them in support of national sovereignty, strong borders, and against illegal immigration. Here’s the Hungarian Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, on how Trump has actually made it easier for leaders of smaller nations to stand firm:

    ““Saying ‘America First’ was a huge deliberation for patriotic forces in Europe. Because before President Trump had been elected, saying … ‘Hungary First’ was immediately stigmatized as ‘nationalist,’ even ‘fascist.’ Now, those who put critiques on us because of that are a little bit more careful.”

    “Saying ‘Hungary First’, your nation first, is such a refreshing feeling. So we like him saying ‘America First’,” Szijjártó said, addressing those in Europe who criticize Trump for his rhetoric.”

    https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/06/exclusive-foreign-minister-no-one-could-say-hungary-first-before-trumps-rise/

    And remember what the MSM said about him and North Korea? They treated such a serious matter like a football score – I even saw one headline that read something like North Korea 3, Trump 2. But now, guess what, Kim Jong Un has actually sent a thank-you letter to President Trump:

    So, cheers for POTUS from all right-thinking people!

    “February was the only month where there were more killings in London (18) than in New York (14): it was indeed a blip.”

    Using the ‘it could be worse’ school of thought Danny Shaw sweeps another problem under the BBC carpet. The comparison between New York and London is just smoke and mirrors, I’m sure that statistically contemporary London is a safer place to be than the Somme in 1916 but that doesn’t mean the current level of crime in the capital is acceptable.

      Are you denying that the convergence is largely due to NY’s success in reducing killings? Something that has not been replicated elsewhere, like Chicago for instance?

      Any why doesn’t anyone around here want to talk about the murder rate on a per capita basis, taking into account places outside London like Glasgow and Manchester?

      Seems there’s only one set of acceptable opinions around here – not unlike the BBC. No wonder people drift away.

    Few protesters in Ayrshire where Trump is today – involves a bit of effort to get there, you see, and has none of the amenities of a capital city.

Were an actual Hitleresque leader afoot I imagine people might bother to travel all the way to Ayrshire to confront him.

          Certainly, Brissles, and I have a suspicion that the Turnberry Club and associated facilities were perhaps not being run too efficiently and to their full potential.

          I suspect Donald Trump sorted that out, possibly at the cost of pricing locals out, but no doubt to the benefit of the local economy, long before he ran for President.

          It is a quiet location, has beautiful, much less busy areas to other parts of Scotland and some dramatic landscapes. It is well worth a holiday for UK residents and if you never been, make a point of it before too long. There’s enough in those three counties to take four or five holiday fortnights to cover and if you need some city life, Glasgow is not far away. Sadly, that is now without one of its best buildings.

      And both the bBbc and Sky are allowing the assumption that Unionists and the Orange Order, and therefore the DUP, are connected to this, that this violence is in someway a response to the celebrations at the Twelfth, or even, as has been mentioned, as a response to a hard border. Bullshit.

      There has been scant mention by the bBc of shots being fired at the police, Protestant homes being petrol bombed and ‘viable devices’, a weaselly term used to downplay the threat of a bomb, also being aimed at the PSNI, incredibly attempting to bypass an ongoing and spiralling internal turf war in ‘Free Derry’ and the shit-filled vacuum that Adams helped create. It’s been reported on, but as usual it has been allowed to be seen as a response to provocation, desperate measures, not the violent sectarian violence that it is, hate filled bigots given legitimacy.

      Violence and attacks from Republicans on Republicans, not by Unionists or Loyalists, but by their own, for whom Gerry Adams and his murdering cohorts are not violent enough, who dissidents and the ‘New’ IRA believe have sold them out to ‘the Brits’, and who no longer have the power they once had.

      Conspiracy abounds at the bBBC however, strangers to honest and simple reporting. By allowing Unionist influence to be inferred the culturally significant Protestant Orange Order can be maligned, the traditionally conservative and pro-British DUP can be belittled yet again while their apparent bigotry is subtly pointed out, the DUP connections to and monies from the Govt and the illiberal moral dilemmas that this raises can be questioned, and finally the legitimacy of our Govt and Brexit being morally wrong, supported by bigots and racists, violent oppressors who have driven the oppressed to violence, must be discussed.

      The bBBC have been at this for years over here but is rarely revealed nationally and does nothing but highlight further how duplicitous and conniving, unrepresentative and unpatriotic they really are.

    The beeb admits it has an agenda: Mishal Hussein, interviewing Liam Fox on Toady this am, walked right into what turned out to be a ‘trap’, although not an intentional one.
    They accuse one another of following an agenda, in the Q&As and both accept that’s what they’re doing. For Dr Fox it’s legitimate: he is explaining what government agenda is. For Hussein it’s not: she admits that she doesn’t want information or elucidation, she wants government to follow the beeb’s agenda, which -in this case, as ever- is an anti-Trump and anti-government one.
    He does not want to serve her purpose: to follow up on several days of anti-Trump, anti-Tory narrative with more of the same. It is simply a good illustration of a simple fact: there is little ‘news’ on the beeb; what there is, is twisted to suit their agenda. It could simply be that old favourite: omission. This time, it’s not.

    Quite how you would bring that into being or police it is something Justin Webb doesn’t appear to question him on much, if at all. Webb, in pious mode, does ask Baldwin to repent of his past sins as a ‘Spin Doctor’ which Baldwin does in a brief, off-hand manner.

    Phew. The BBC has done its ‘fact checking’ on Sadiq Khan’s London having a bigger murder rate than New York, and you’ll never guess what, everything is just peachy-rosy.

    Apparently, it was only one month, February, when the peoples of London experienced a worse murder rate than New York.

    Before anyone gets out their bunting I should remind them of what The Times study actually said:

    “FBI data and studies by the late Eric Monkkonen, a researcher at the University of California, show that since 1800 London has had a murder rate per person of between half and a 20th of New York’s.”

    The Times was arguing that the murder rate in recent years in London has increased dramatically and was now close to or surpassed those of New York.

    BTW, and I have noticed this before. I searched for : “the times London more murders than New York”

    I was offered coverage by The Independent, Channel 4, The Guardian and the BBC before The Times.

    I have seen, before, how left wing new organisations get preference on Google. Troubling isn’t it.

      I update this site on the latest Londonistan murders from time to time as they are too commonplace for al beeb to report unless it’s non white dead and white killer. Yesterday there were two ‘life threatening ‘ day light stabbings which I suppose is tip of a violent iceberg ( can icebergs be violent ).

      Anyway the New York comparison is a bit of a smoke screen because there would be a need to compare motives for killings as opposed to just numbers.

      One argument says there will be more crime because of more coppers – because more will be reported . But that’s a bit shallow imo.

      Decided to go cold turkey on al beeb whilst our President is here.

      Good luck to anyone marching for freedom today.

    I have been told – check me if I am wrong – that the cops have limited the pro-Trump demo to one hour and will issue dispersal orders to prevent it joining the Tommy Robinson demo.

    Keep an eye open as this would indicate the thinking behind the Home Secretary, Savid Javid , peace be upon him, and the rest of the establishment.

    My opinion for what its worth? Come what may, the UK has already agreed to open borders for N Ireland. Reason? Simples: we still need to allow in illegal immigrants to satisfy the agreement between Treezer and Merkel.

    It requires a person to suffer a hightened form of virtue signalling sydrome for them to feel the need to protest a foreign elected leader from a wealthy western allied state with the rule of law. This is obvious.

    Given that a pseudo-religious urge to display virtue is present in these folks – what might be motivating them to pick Donald Trump as their Big Satan?

    I believe the BBC has nurtured and encouraged irrational hatred of Trump here in the UK. There are various reasons the BBC does this and should be blamed for the outcome of their propaganda.

    The overriding issue is of course that the BBC is still providing 70% of news, is market leader setting the trend for ITV and Sky and is still most trusted. One suspects it has an audience that it has increasingly self-seleced with its biases as parts of the audience not wanting those biases switch it off.

    i/ Anti-Americanism: The acceptable xenophobia. Let’s be honest, all groups need to feel some antipathy toward outsiders. That’s human nature. In these days of moral relativism and political correctness the only remaining suitable target for a BBC comedian (for instance) is the loud boasting dumb yank – does that charicature (which if applied to any other nationality under PC rules would be regarded as racist) remind you of anyone?

    ii/ Hob-nobbing with the Democrats. The Katty Kay/Soapy Sopel Problem. Despite the aforementioned syndrome everyone loves Americana in terms of the dollar pay rates, the culture, lifestyle and travel jollies, right? So BBC journos are heavily invested (as it were) in reporting about – and especially from – the good ol’ US of A. The problem is that our national broadcaster is so tightly embedded with Democrat-leaning news networks and fellow lefty journos out there. As visitors the BBC readily falls into the East Coast / West Coast distain for fly-over country and readily accepts the Democrat Party line on just about everything.

    iii/ The Leftist Cipher. By the way by cipher I mean a secret or disguised way of writing – in other words the BBC Leftists find a way to more fully express their political tendencies when talking about another country. Too blatant a bias about British home politics (no, don’t laugh) would evenually have the BBC falling foul of regulators and even our own wimpy conservatives – such as they are. But a journo can wear his leftism with pride when snarking about foreign conservatives.

    I do not recognise or belong in Britain anymore. I am ashamed at how the fake news media – i.e. bbc/sky/guardian/independent – disgraced the country along with the noisy, puerile, thick, brainwashed leftie scum many of whom couldn’t even articulate why they were protesting. I was trying to apologise and explain to American friends and commentators on facebook that these filth were just the noisy minority; but their response was, where were the counter protests? And I have to agree. Where were we? I am disgusted with how the perpetually offended protesting leftwing scum shamed us as usual and offended our American brethren. I am ashamed that the left have taken over this country and that the likes of Sadick Khanage is mayor. We’re too f****** polite to do anything in this sodding country now, more concerned with our mortgages, mowing the lawn and watching Love Island than rising up to oppose the far left destruction of Britain. And I include myself in this. I believe this country is finished until the time that violent revolution comes…. and come it will. And unreal, even as I f****** type a vile bbc propaganda piece is on focusing on ‘refugees’ in Amsterdam and how much they are contributing to the culture; twice the reporter has emphasised how Amsterdam is a city based on the ‘joys’ of immigration as if to remind us that western culture has grown from continual and unfettered immigration and open borders; one leftie geek in the piece even said that the country would be nothing without immigration. The bbc are disgusting propagandists! I wonder if these dogooders will be covering all the rapes happening across Europe? Nope as it doesn’t fit the narrative.

      Sadly we have the rise of the ‘new Left’ , which comprise not of the ‘old style working class’ but trendy young middle classites who are in good jobs, have a mortgage and 2 dogs. I am seeing this in my own family. My parents were the antipathy of working class – Dad was a miner, and grew up in an atmosphere of Tory (business people) and Labour (the rest of us). Now we are living in an age where ‘poverty’ is not having the latest iPhone, not relying on Provident Cheques to have new clothes once a year as I did as a child. Younger members of my family are vocal about Corbyn, but its apparent they are being swept along because they’re equally ‘trendy’ friends they meet in the local wine/gin bars are of the same mindset. Me, their Aunty, is considered an ‘extreme right winger’ just because I am equally vocal when opposing their views. But its clear to me that, though not idiots, they are being led in their opinions because its the ‘in thing’ to do.

      I don’t mind. Londonistan is a foreign country like Iran, run by a Muslim ruler who hates America because Americans don’t like terrorists very much.

      I have been very successful in avoiding going through Londonistan. I have got trains from Doncaster that stop at Peterborough for connections to Ely, Cambridge and Norfolk. Others from Doncaster to Oxford and Southampton. And other trains that avoid Londonistan by going from Doncaster to Cheltenham and all the way to Penzance.

      I think that intelligent civilised people try to avoid Londonistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan or any other Stan. If I did go there, I probable would be arrested by the Londonistan police force, for protesting against the liberal elite.

      Also I just found out that my local Tory MP Graham Stuart, wrote a virtue signalling article about supporting democracy for Women. But only for the women who lived a hundred years ago. In the present day, he is known to have supported the antidemocratic remain cause, he is also known to support the antidemocratic House of Lords and now supports Theresa May’s fake Brexit. My sister reports someone in the pub talking about “the days of needing to fight for democracy, returning. The need for the downtrodden and disillusioned to rise and kill the liberal elitists who oppose democracy, have arrived“. I suppose that could mean that MP’s like Stuart could be safer if they didn’t hold any local surgeries in the future.

Police said Littleborough RUFC player Matthew Hayden, 17, suffered a fractured skull in the unprovoked attack in Rochdale. Littleborough RUFC said that a car in which Hayden was riding was rammed by another car. When Hayden got out of the car, another car struck him; he was then hit on the head with a golf club. The attackers shouted racial abuses during the assault, which is being treated as a hate crime. Detective Mark McDowall of Greater Manchester Police described the attack as “brutal,” “unprovoked” and leaving Hayden with “life-changing injuries.”

      Thailand is possibly a triple class country like a lot of them are
      – Poor Burmese immigrants are there as cheap labour
      – Then there is the Thai peasant class to work in shops etc.
      – And then there is the upper class of shop owners, dentists doctors etc. who live better than us, cos they exploit the lower classes and so can have house servants etc.
      Ethnic Chinese would say they work hard and deserve the success of private schools, private hospitals etc.
      I’m guessing the peasant class don’t get to use such hospitals normally.

        I had the opportunity for several chats with a well-qualified nurse from the Philippines some years ago.

        In conversation she related how Governments there years before that decided to prioritise health and then education for all their people. Any overseas money they received, especially in aid, went into medical education & training and the health service. Then the next spending tranche went into education which is paid for at higher levels like the American college system.

        She had taken a job in our NHS because she could earn much more in our NHS than at home and could send the money home, not just to help feed, clothe & house poorer relatives but to go into her trust fund for her very young son. It will pay for his higher education.

        She only got home once every three years to see her son.

        The Health Service in the Philippines, once upon a time excellent and becoming one of the best in the world, had suffered from outward migration of staff, like her, to the UK and the USA.

        The BBC never make any programmes, as far as I know, about the damage done by the New Imperialism.

    Indy : Tommy Robinson and pro-Trump marches prompt fears of violent clashes in London
    Previous far-right demonstration saw metal barriers and bottles thrown at officers *

    * No, that’s not a fair general characterisation
    99% peaceful, yet I suspect undercover agitators were there hoping to stir up some loons by initiating violence for NUJ cameras.

    Nothing on BBC South Today about Bournemouth Pride yet. I walked through it on the way home and as expected there where more straight people there and families with kids rather than those who identify as LGBT.

    Of the men there where a few Queens hanging around, a couple of firemen/ bodybuilders and the odd Owen Jones type of two and of the females there where the usual ‘butch’ woman with short pikey hair or a few girls with the ‘leftie’ looks, you know them when you see them!

    The event and mood seemed tame though with people enjoying themselves and a world away from the silliness at the anti Trump marches that Corbyn seems to have hijacked.

    This weekend’s events have seem to have diverted attention away from the Brexit shambles started by May (I hate having to use Corbyn’s words) and as I sad before, the door to Number 10 is left swinging open for Corbyn to sneak in. A new Tory PM is needed!

      Mr Hill would succeed Alison Saunders, who steps down after a chequered tenure in the post.
      \\ The primary aim, and purpose, of a good DPP is to ensure that the prosecution code is implemented evenly and without compromise in adhering to its core principles.

      Saunders failed to achieve this miserably when she maintained an incompetent regime whereby the rights of individuals were sacrificed routinely seemingly because the nature of the offence, sexual crimes against women, justified a formulaic judicial incompetence that became her hallmark.

      In truth, the aberrant behaviour of police and CPS staff merited her dismissal and those of her CPS division heads responsible for the scandal.

      Whoever assumes control of the CPS must ensure the law is not broken again because of some biased administrative agenda.//

    A rough sleeper died close to their parliament ( its not mine ) and Corbyn and co shed crocodile tears and gave it the big one about many not few .

    Now breitbart reports the inquest . An african paedophile who had been deported twice and died of drug abuse . Apparently even had somewhere to stay but chose not too.

    If this is reported on al beeb great but I suspect not .

    I hope Corbyn paid for the funeral

      Another cockup for Corbyn eh? He is still being quiet as the left are sitting on the edge of their seats wondering what is going on with Theresa May and if or when anyone will replace her. Of course Corbyn threw himself into the anti Trump stuff only for that to backfire when one of the major complaints was that Trump was rude to our PM. Had anyone else done that then Corbyn would have brought them a drink, or a house as seems to be policy

    I find the President Trump blimp offensive but I understand the need for free speech . Yet an mp has to apologise for a picture of the mayor of Londonistan with a pig – or similar – i haven’t seen it as I’m guessing twitter and google is suppressing it – one rule for one but a different rule for another .

      Just seen a FB vid of a woman at the Pro Trump rally being threatened with arrest for carrying a Khan balloon where he appears to be straddling a pig. From what I saw she was not arrested because the crowd surged forward. Reports from the Tommy Robinson demo suggest it is large but a scary atmosphere with aggressive policing, horses etc and attempts to break the crowd up.
      Sod all on the BBC who have all gone to Scotland.

        A typical libmob bully tactic
        ..They goad you with something nasty like the Trump baby balloon
        … Then you react by doing something like a cartoon of a Sadiq balloon with a pig on top of it .. they then look to take offence
        and the shout “racist” technique is the one they choose.

          On that theme, Up2, apparently Pres. Trump has said, “……said Sadiq has done a bad job on terrorism..”. The Left run away with anything and embroider it so, it becomes: “….…Trump is saying that Sadiq is ‘responsible for terrorism’, says Labour’s shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry.” “…its islamaphobic…”. It appears a willing press is anxious to take up the issue and distort it out of all or any comparison – https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/07/uk-labour-top-dogs-slam-trump-as-islamophobic-for-criticizing-sadiq-khan
          Reminds me of my childhood in the junior school playground. The little girls always took any titbit and reported it to teacher or a prefect. And Thornberry is an adult………………Or is she?

      It is interesting that Sadiq Khan seemed to say in an interview that freedom of speech can not be curtailed because the target of the protest may be offended.

      Yes let them have their freedom of speech but let us have ours as well.

    Just watching the free Tommy meeting on Facebook and Lord Pearson has started his speech.
    After a few minutes the sound went and the picture froze, comments still flying up the screen but a message ‘broadcast interrupted’ appearing at the top.
    The messages are all saying it is happening to them all over the world.

    A free speech meeting being censored/blocked thus stopping free speech.

      i am so ashamed to be british this weekend. What President Trump must think of the people of this country is any ones guess. Yesterday the dregs of britain on the streets of London and today in Scotlant the haters are out in force. All egged on by the bbbc. i found the relentless one sided bias from them quite unbelievable . i do hope he realises that we dont all think like that. Oh i wish we had him here standing up for us and telling the EU where to stick it. If i was younger i would leave this country, it too late now for me but any younger person with a career should think about thier future here. Our once great country is being strangled by the lefty msm and all the elites who spread themselves around universities and goverment.
      i have complained to the bbc this afternoon about the non coverage of the pro trump march, not a peep all day just wall to wall Trump bashing from Scotland. Oh how i dislike the lefty bbc and its journalists and i have told them so. I dont think i will be buying another licence.i cannot bear to part with the money for such s**t,

        Your country is gone. You have to accept that, many can’t bring themselves to accept it. The cultural marxists have won in the UK and in Europe. The US and Eastern Europe are now the last remaining bastions of freedom of speech, the rule of law and the repository of the west’s cultural heritage and scientific achievement.

      GW, but the the BBC idea of subscription is that you still have to buy a Licence Fee but you can also buy BBC programmes on DVD or as downloads. That last bit is the subscription. 😉

    Well, it was entirely predictable that Auntie would tut-tut over the attractive ladies that Russian cameramen noticed at the World Cup during lulls in proceedings.

    It’s the language itself that the BBC uses in the article that really gets my goat.

    It’s known as the “honey shot” – when a conventionally attractive woman is picked out of the crowd by cameras at a sporting event.

    A conventionally attractive woman. No-one talks like that. Except where all joy has been sucked out of the right-on bubble they live in.

    Anyway, what’s wrong with occasionally focusing on good looking ladies? Most of the game is spent focusing on 22 fit young men.

    It’s amazing isn’t it? I made a comment yesterday about how hypocritical the Beeb and MSM were for mocking Trump and his inauguration crowds and then doing the very same by over inflating the numbers that were out to protest him in London.

    And what do you know there is already the above meme doing the rounds on Facebook. The comments are the usual virtue signalling guff – plenty of noise about stupid idiotic Trump supporters yet not one of these bright sparks is able to see or acknowledge the staggering difference in zoom on the two shots.

    The one of the white house is taken about a mile away, whilst the one in London is from a 4th or 5th storey building right above the crowd. There’s probably only about 6 or 7,000 people in the shot in London yet these literally hate blinded imbeciles cannot see the difference in the two shots. What a perfect example of Trump haters desperately faking shit to push their narrative.

    I even had some loon yesterday moaning about how bad it was that Trump didn’t bow for the queen and Melania didn’t cursty. When I told them that they didn’t have to because Elizabeth wasn’t their queen they huffed off with a dramatic ‘I don’t want to talk about this’ – well don’t talk utter bollocks then!
