Start the Week Open Thread 10 September 2018

its 200 days to our WTO Brexit. So the Far Left BBC will go all out to subvert the democratic vote . Meanwhile the Swedes have shown that they do not approve of their politicians destroying their own country – a liberal poison which spread across the West unchecked up until our Brexit vote .

    This mornings comedy award goes to the Guardian who have a headline “World is sleepwalking towards another financial crisis” written by no other than Gordon Brown, the man who walked us, with his eye wide open, into the last financial crisis.

    No doubt tomorrow they’ll be giving a column to Bill Clinton to talk about the dreadful way Harvey Weinstein abused his position in exchange for sex.

      Don’t worry, aside from planting the PFI time bomb, flogging our gold reserves at bargain basement prices, wrecking our pensions and abusing as a bigot one pensioner in particular who was concerned that her grandchildren would have to compete for jobs and services with half a billion EU immigrants, our Gordon, when the moment came, turned his talents to ‘saving the world’.

        You are reading my mind! I don’t know which was the greatest achievement – PFI or selling the gold – I guess PFI has helped across the years to help destroy public services .

      They made up all this nonsense about ‘Russia’ and how a few Facebook ads or whatever was the most vile affront to sacred democracy; it was an abject hoax from the start – a scarcely believable lie which would barely have mattered even if it had been true. God how much fake news about ‘Russian meddling’ have we had to endure?

      Then google gets caught red handed being all in for the Democrats. This is possibly the most powerful company in history which nearly everyone relies on for information; furthermore its algorithms are so complex and opaque that they are effectively unaccountable; plus their unfathomable wealth. This makes ‘Russian meddling’ look like a slap on the wrist compared to the Hiroshima of Google meddling.

      But of course it goes straight down the memory hole. They have no ultimate sense of right and wrong; they only care about expediency, their glorious socialist utopia (which would actually be hell) being a goal that justifies any means. Meddling, fake news, political violence etc are absolutely fine when it benefits liberals but evil when the other side does it.

    Martha the bee ???? interviewing Dom Raaaaab on Brexit negotiations – she seemed shocked that we won’t give the EUReich 49 billion to leave if there is no deal .
    Amazing – she sounded as though she wants to give them a load of taxpayer money and that the EUReich deserves it . I think the word for her is ‘scatty ‘

    On a more positive note the Thought for the day’ has Anne Atkins decrying the bloody dangerous bill by a socialist repressing free speech on the internet – a bill sponsored by both JRM and mad soubry . It would end sites like this one . Mad times .

    As foreshadowed yesterday the BBC News Channel is rather keen on marking the anniversary of the 2008 financial crisis. This should be no surprise. It was a major and sudden business cycle reverse which Leftists presumed was their long-awaited “Crisis of Capitalism”. And so it is that BBC Breakfast has the opportunity to bring to air voices calling for an end to supposed “austerity” with a huge centralised government spending spree. A siren call closely echoing John McDonnell’s Labour economic manifesto. The credibility lent by a national broadcaster representing a handy and indeed a timely fillip to a Labour Party presently ruled by a smallish hard core of fanatics but struggling to achieve credibility with a wider public.

      Yesterday also marks the 335th Anniversary of the Battle of the Siege of Vienna, when Islam was stopped from taking over Europe.
      Following on from 9/11 the day before?
      These days need noting- a few Poles, Austrians and Hungarians could turn back the Islamic hordes with a bit of faith, courage and awareness of what losing will end up as.
      The Siege of Vienna thwarted 12/9/1683.

    I see even the BBC has reported on the leftie mob that insulted Rees Mogg. This character is seen in the video wearing what appeared to be a Rees Mogg mask. He’s been on the BBC. Andrew Neil gave him a very easy ride – unlike Tommy Robinson – when he appeared in some kind of trannie outfit. I will try to locate the link, otherwise believe me. This bunch are liked by our state broadcaster.

    Coup, hark at her…
    BBC Business poppet Sally Bundock tries to get her head around the present economic crisis in Turkey.
    “Well I was in Istanbul, oh, four… or was it five years ago… and the city was buzzing. It was THE place to invest”
    There’s a fair amount of information to unpack here. First of all, note her slight confusion as to when exactly it was that she was last in Turkey. The girl is signalling that she is quite the globetrotter. Of course her jet-setting only touches the most westernised city in this large and complex nation. The Islamist-leaning dictator Erdoğan (whose name the BBC now tend to style Er-doo-waan – sounding like some cuddly Star Wars toy character) draws his constituency and power base not from that slightly more Europe facing minority on the western coastal fringe but from the more numerous and fast growing interior population of traditional rural Turks who are coming under the sway of anti-western radical Islamic revivalism. Our Sally on her city-hopping cafe society travels will certainly not have spoken to or listened to their attitudes and ambitions.

      If it costs a telephone company more to provide an EU-wide ‘roaming’ service than it does to provide a purely ‘local’ service yet it charges the same then customers that never roam are subsidising those that do.

      To put it another way, far from the EU ‘giving’ us free roaming it is putting up the cost of the service to those happy to stay at home.

    The Shadow Home Secretary appeared on BBC Question Time earlier this year and commented that her constituency has a community of charedi Jews that are ‘actually subject to hate crime more than other Jews, because they wear that costume’.

    Ms Abbott was grilled last week over her remark by 18-year-old London Tube passenger Alex Rose, but the Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP ignored the question and walked away.

    Just spoken to the BBC sound development officer
    Of course I told him to take the music off documentaries
    “We are aware of this problem and the new object orientated audio system this lecture was about should fix this”
    OK he means that instead of a vanilla audio feed, each audio component comes tagged so the player device can play each type differently according to its tag.
    eg if you are German you can watch a German character speaking German instead of him being dubbed.
    There wasn’t time to ask why the BBC dropped the simple idea of dual versions of documentaries :with/without background music.
    So I passed that on to the assistant.

    Ok let’s jump the shark a bit … when the hurricane has finished with America will President Trump get blamed for visiting too early or too late ?

    And of course it’s coming our way afterward – a whole global warming Albeeb fest .

    ‘Family racks up £21k medical bill on ‘holiday from hell”

    Complete non-story – the whole point of which is shown in the final sentence ‘…shows how lucky we are to have the NHS’.
    There bills were paid by the insurance co, they were staying in a 5* resort, so not a cheap holiday, parents flew out to help, so not short of dosh. Can’t have been that bad cos grandad was snorkelling, not sitting by his son’s bedside.
    Rubbish.

    Crunched the numbers ? how scientific, gives one a real sense of their analysis from the BBC sociology and media study graduates, mathematics or science not being a requirement for their studies or ever giving them pause for thought
