    Despite Brexit. Despite the “Right Wing” State of Israel.

    Best Tweet I’ve seen this week because it’s everything the BBC hates.
    Positive news and success for Britain and Israel. 🙂

    I’m guessing that for the 95 per cent of people who prefer living to politics they’ll have no idea about the Far Left conference today .

    Any way watching comrade Corbyn s speech – if his audience didn’t clap at every word he said – thus interrupting the flow – he would have delivered a much better speech than a meandering wish list ..no doubt Master O Jones will be the go to for al beeb with his mum ms polly Toynbee nodding along with a happy beeboid .

    Words Corbyn didn’t use – immigration – unemployment – NATO – taxation – terrorism – realism .

      Unfortunately many voters rely on the odd soundbite and generalised impressions. This suits Corbyn admirably and explains why he can get away with so much and his murky views don’t lose him many votes.
      The world is unfair
      Capitalism doesn’t work
      We can give you freebies just by soaking the rich and taxing companies so it’s painless
      All this resonates with quite a lot of people I’m afraid.

      Did Mr Corbyn use the word patriotism?
      Did any of the collective haters use the word patriotism, or refer to loyalty to one’s country?

      Or what about JFKs words:

    “I have SJPN court is 1/10/18. I am disabled did not get SJPN withing 21 days HELP!

    Hello, I do not watch TV. I used to and always had a license but they mucked up the Direct Debit so I was considering not watching BBC anymore due to its bias I decided I would not get a license and not watch TV on my laptop anymore. I have not watched terrestrial TV since. This was January 2018. I watch the online news and TV programmes on Amazon, Netflix, and Youtube or DVD box sets. On the 17/3/2018 a TV Licensing guy came to my house and rang my intercom. he asked to come into my flat but I could not let him in as I am confined to my bedroom 24/7 and I cannot get to my flat door without someone helping me. I live alone. He insisted on telling me he had to come in and I kept telling him it was impossible. he then asked me about watching TV. I said I did not watch it. He said but you have one I can see it. I told him again I was disabled and the one he could see had not been switched on since 2012 and I doubted it even still worked. He was incredulous when I told him I did not watch TV and he asked me how do you watch TV again and again. Eventually, he asked me what I do instead and I told him DVDs and Netflix etc. he asked me how I watch the news so I told him CNN, Al Jazeera, and Reuters plus I read various newspaper websites. He just kept asking inane questions he thought it was impossible to live without TV. I do not remember that he cautioned me but there is one attached to theSJPN notice and it is total crap. I would like to know is it possible to caution someone you have not seen, nor identified as the person you are cautioning And if not how do I et this chucked out of court I am not physically able to go to the court which is the other side of London to me”

      Interesting one – from my barrack room lawyer says of a law degree I recon the written record of the ‘interview’ would be ruled inadmissible because the victim hasn’t had a chance to see it and agree to its content by signing and dating it .

      Obviously TV licensing gestapo will go for the weakest victim to get their prosecution bonuses –

      I reckon the victim here needs either to get to court if they have been summonsed or get medical evidence from their GP , doctor saying why they are unfit to attend .

      The easiest advise is citizens advice isn’t it ? But these can be difficult to find ….

      All pretty heartless isn’t it ? Best thing to do is not treat tv licensing staff as human beings because they Are not .

    Over the last 3 days at the labour get together I’ve noticed the media have changed their interview method.
    Instead of talking over and interrupting those being interviewed they now ask a question and let the person at the labour conference answer it saying anything they want and without any challenge by the interviewer.
    We can now listen to the answers to the (soft) questions without getting annoyed by constant interruptions no matter how wierd and wonderful the answers are.

    No doubt it will be exactly the same for the Conservative (I tried with a small c but auto correct keeps changing to a large C) conference, unchallenged answers with no interruptions.

      TM,
      The word ‘craic’ is as fake as that photo. The word is ‘crack’, it originally meant lively, loud conversation and is Ulster Scots or Northern English, so it’s not actually a foreign phrase at all no matter how many Irish theme-pubs promise a great night of it.

      The word has been ‘Paddyfied’ by changing the spelling to make it more like Gaelic for marketing and by using it at every opportunity possible to highlight what ‘quare fellas’ the Irish are, ‘fun-lovin’ feckers’ one and all. ‘What’s the craic?’ has become a bit of a piss-take to be honest. Think Graham Norton in Father Ted.

      A bit like ‘banter’ which is really good natured reciprocal wordplay not the excuse to verbally abuse and bully that it now seems to mean. But then again, as has often been said on here, the bBbc appear to have a dictionary all of their own, they change the meaning of words to suit their agenda all the time.

        ‘Fuck’ is used with increasing regularity on the box, but the word ‘bollocks’/bollox’ is rarely ever heard, shame really, as it can give real gravitas when said with urgency. However, the Canadian show Murdoch Mysteries is the exception where the word is often uttered, along with ‘bloody ‘ell’, ‘bugalugs’ and various other mainly Yorkshire phrases, spoken by Sheffield actor Thomas Craig in his role as Inspector Brackenreid.

    The BBC says ‘Most climate scientists regard a rise of 2C as the point when global warming could become irreversible and the effects dangerous. At current rates, we are on track for a rise of more than 3-4C by the end of the century.’

    200 years of Global warming up to 1997 was 0.76C, since then we have had the pause/hiatus/peak, also some charlatans have adjusted the warming to over 1C. The evidence is that the Medieval Warm period reached a peak half a degree higher than at present. The irreversible positive feedback warming hoax was disproved by a scientific paper which proved the climate was in a negative feedback. So climate scientists no longer talk about positive feedbacks. The people who talk about runaway Global Warming are environmental activists and computer modellers like professor Peter Cox.

    So the BBC should say: ‘Most environmental activists regard a rise of 2C as the point when global warming could become irreversible and the effects dangerous. According to the computer animated hoax, we are on track for a rise of more than 3-4C by the end of the century.’

    Tommy Robinson is in court tomorrow; the Old Bailey of all places. He must be a very dangerous man because that’s the place where the terrorist trials are held.

    He’s very worried that our swamp dwellers are going to send him back to prison and judging by what he’s saying, they’ve already broken him; he’s fearful for his family.

    If he is sent back to prison, I’d say he’s being treated worse than that Choudhury criminal, who was intent on harming us. Whereas all that Tommy Robinson has done is to try to warn us about people like the Choudhury criminal; and he’s imminently to be released so he can continue his activities to do us harm.

    That’s how filthy our swamp dwellers are and they need to be drained as a matter of urgency, from all walks of life.

       17 likes

    • Rich says:

      The influence of the NFU had a fair amount to do with the result of the Brexit referendum in Northern Ireland, as their equivalent here, the UFU, declared themselves against Brexit early in the debate. Indeed their president at the time, Ian Marshall, a Protestant from Co Armagh, has since secured himself a post on the Agricultural Panel in the upper house of the Irish government, despite it being a foreign country and him standing as an independent. Funny that.

      Agriculture dominates the economy here and many voters in rural communities were swayed by their scaremongering and the threatened loss of EU subsidies and markets. They were greatly helped in this by the deliberate muddying of the waters by the governments at the time, in Westminster and Dublin, and a lack of clear intention or assurance from the leave campaign.

      Many of the voters who elected to Remain are also traditionally UUP, not DUP, voters whose leader at the time was and still is very pro-Remain. Unsurprisingly he, Mike Nesbitt, was a television journalist prior to entering politics.

      Interestingly however his replacement, as he resigned after Remain were defeated, is very pro- Brexit and so the parties stance has also changed. The new UUP leader, Robin Swann, who was in my class at school, is also chairman of the YFCU Rural Affairs Committee, an ex-chairman of Rural Youth Europe and has worked in establishing Young Farmers Clubs in Eastern Europe with the UN, obviously more knowledgeable in rural affairs than his predecessor and so is highly respected amongst the mainly Protestant, and pro-British, pro-Union farming community.

      This is seldom mentioned, especially by the bBbc, because it renders their assertion that a United Ireland would follow Brexit a lot less credible. Pro EU money does not mean pro united Ireland, the majority of people in Northern Ireland do not identify as Irish, will not accept governance by the Irish paliament, contrary to media claims, and although it does seem a little unprincipled to those of us who don’t rely on the land for our livelihood, cleared and more supportive agricultural policies would change the narrative on everything with regards to Brexit in Northern Ireland and quieten the shit-stirring Irish government significantly.

        – thanks for filling in the gaps. My solution to the Ireland border issue is for the 3 million irish plus 1 million EU guest workers to pull out of the Reich EU with us – particularly since they don’t get the huge wads of our cash to build things and stick a ReichEU flag on anymore .

    The BBC went to Ghana to have a listen to the afro-beats….Ghana where the English raised BBC presenter, Gemma Cairney, told us that when you got there seeing all the people were black made you feel free….and Ghanaian national independence was very important.

    So not so multicultural then and just loving Ghexit….funny how a desire to have national independence and a preference for your own race is OK when you’re black, or Scottish, Irish, Muslim, but not Jewish, in the BBC’s book.

    Curious how Ghana is being celebrated as such a brilliant place and yet the BBC would be the first to say they must all come here as asylum seekers seeking refuge from their terrible lives of poverty, misery and persecution.

The only answer is to stop them coming and ending up in Libya [and the Libyans said that it was the NGO’s picking them up that encouraged more to come…the successful ones phoned home and said how easy it was….so come on down!] and if they get onto a boat they should be returned to the shore-line immediately. We won’t know which country they originally come from as they’ve probably destroyed their documents…how can we then return them ‘home’…send them back to Libya or their point of departure from Africa and let them sort their own way home. Build that wall.

    Listened to Shameless Chakrabarti on Today…apparently there’s no problem with anti-semitism, well only a very tiny number of people, and anyway, the real problem is misogyny, female Labour MPs being attacked by misogynists…and they’re far-right misogynists. Now that’s just not true is it? Some may be far-right but the majority are more than happy lurking in Corbyn’s shadow, only coming out to do his dirty work for him such as when the leadership contest was on-going and the female candidates were subject to a vicious campaign of hate…not to mention a few bricks through windows.

    Didn’t hear the BBC presenter challenge her version, but then when the attacks were being made on the female leadership candidates the BBC tried to play that down and pretend it wasn’t happening.

    Odd that there is no concern about Corbyn and his radical policies…he wants to totally reconfigure the economy, destroy capitalism, ‘reform’ industry, unleash the unions, who knows what he will do to the security and defence services, and as for Brexit…he claims a no-deal will be a national disaster and yet that is precisely what he is intending to bring about by voting against whatever deal May cobbles together.

    The EU has held an emergency meeting to discuss reaction to Corbyn’s intention to vote against a deal….but has the BBC reported it? Not so far. You’d think this was a crucial and significant issue front and centre of events but not for the BBC as Corbyn crashes negotiations.

    Corbyn’s speech was childish nonsense, unworkable and unfunded but clearly designed to appeal to the core supporters….liked his attack on Carillion which failed ‘due to private greed’…did it? Thought it failed because it in fact underbid as the government [ie the ‘public’ sector] sought the lowest bid…so in fact it was due to government, ‘public’ sector not private, greed or unwillingness to pay the full and real cost, that led to the failure.

    And as for ‘greed is good’ as introduced by Gordon Gecko….wasn’t it in fact Gordon Brown who deregulated the banks and said this would lead to a golden age of financial success just before the great crash? And again…the infamous sub-prime mortgages which contributed mightily to the crash…introduced because lenders were forced to offer mortgages to the poorest and minorities in the US under duress from the Left and US government….socialism and government policy, public policy, leading to economic failure…and the trains n the UK are in fact already nationalised…they are franchises handed out by government which controls and regulates it all…so failure is as much public sector as private.

      if your mortgage goes pop here they take your house sell it and you owe them any losses, seems the demorats didnt want to burden their minorities with such trivia as actually having to pay their mortgages regardless

      quite how the financial genius’s the remainers are so desperate to keep in london for their skills got suckered into the american governments un-secured loans scam is the real question , never mind whether they have even started to help repair the damage they did

    Thankfully the Labour party jamboree is over and along with it the disgusting bias BBC coverage. You can sense all the BBC reporters loved the week. Wall to wall coverage. Promises of free everything for everyone completely unchecked , just taken as read. All labour MPs interviewed allowed free reign to spout anything they want , never challenged or interrupted.Bbc made it out a huge success, never mentioning all the mixed messages from different MPs , all saying different things !!!! Corbyn is here and the future was quite clearly the message from the BBC.

    Now wait for the conservative conference . Interviewees no doubt stopped at every word, interrupted at every opportunity. Party in crisis, calls for general election blah blah blah. I suspect the difference in coverage will be making my blood boil next week. BBC not even trying to hide their Labour bias now. This week has proven that beyond any doubt

      Last night’s News at Ten report by Laura Kuenssberg on Corbyn’s speech came across more as an advertorial than a serious news report. I don’t think it was analysed or dissected in the slightest.

      Let’s see how May’s speech next week is treated. I’ll stick my neck out now and say it won’t get the same kid glove treatment.

    Toady watch
    Fuming . Wanted to hear response to the communist party conference yesterday particularly the shadow minister whistling the labour theme tune.

    Didn’t hear much but caught an interview between meeeshhhaall and some dodgy Eire politician ( is there any other sort) . He claimed the EU funded north Ireland during its troubles and wasn’t challenged . Nearly choked on me corn flakes .

    The term saucy c word instantly came to mind . An unpleasant word – particularly for early in the day and definitely on the website but for such a lie to be made and go unchallenged is awful

    I often describe this ethnic beeboid as the @work experience girl” I now see that I am wrong because that is offensive to work experience girls .

    Off switch again.

    These days, you never quite know when they’re joking.

    In sports gossip, our gal Beaky Nugent tries to remain neutral in the Paul Pogba and Jose Mourinho drama. Afterall if yesterday’s coverage of Labour conference is anything to go by the BBC seem to be here to smoothe divisions in the reds. But I jest. Apparently fans are divided into two camps. And Beaky reckons our very own Gary of the huge annual BBC pay wad has summed things up – Katty Kay stylee:

    “Power cuts after Brexit in Northern Ireland”
    “Energy bills up 30%”
    That’s the random headlines from BBC Breakfast this morning – the same broadcaster which also brings us a morality tale from darkest Africa warning us not to trust “Governments who use the term fake news”. And that’s the possibly scripted concluding statement of one Charlie Statist our sofa puppet this morning. And there was me up until now hanging on every word out of Cameroon as being gospel. This snide comment from our BBC presenter was clearly a politically motivated anti-Trump dog whistle. Very poor stuff, BBC. How about you fact check some of your own stuff and nonsense?

    On Toady they had a report from Trump’s latest press conference. The reporter sneers about Trump saying China is interfering with the midterms, implying he is deranged, when he tweeted out blatant evidence of it yesterday. I thought election meddling was the worst crime imaginable? Of course it was never really about that but just a way to discredit Trump.

    Spying on opponents was heinous for Nixon but memory holed when Obama did it; Russian meddling in election is appalling but Google, Facebook and China meddling is fine; racism is terrible but white girls in Rotherham do not count, as according to the BBC racism is ‘prejudice plus power’ and these poor defenceless white girls had power just because of their skin colour. How I loathe their double standards.

    “The most extraordinary thing was that he did not mention Russian meddling in the last election.”

    Why should he? It was two years ago and laughably non existent. He has a hell of a lot on his plate why on earth waste yet more time on the Russia hoax? The MSM have so much egg on their face over the Russia nonsense. The reporter felt obliged to signal his group think credentials by bringing it up but you could tell his heart was not in it. Trump humiliated them over this and how they hate him for it.

    I heard brief extracts from Treezer’s speech to the UN. Partly it was a confession as to where liar May’s devotion lies – and it was sure not the British public!
    “We must invest in the patient work of building open societies [note the expression!] in which everyone has a stake in the future.”
    “Fair and respected rules are essential for business to flourish and drive growth. But recent history shows that this cannot be sustained without deeper partnerships between governments, business, international financial institutions and civil society to ensure that growth delivers for everyone.”
    “For the best way of resisting protectionism is to ensure that this century is defined by open markets that really deliver for all our people.”
    She sees success in creating countries that:
    “They include a government that is transparent and accountable.
    An independent judiciary to enforce the rule of law.
    Free and fair elections and a free and open media.
    The freedom of expression, a right to redress and property rights that are reliably enforced.
    And equality, freedom of thought, opinion, religion and conscience – all found in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, signed 70 years ago.”
    I don’t recognise the UK do you?
    Treezer must set an example:
    “That is why we must call out hate speech, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of prejudice and discrimination against minorities wherever we find it.”
    A speech littered with the expression, “inclusive societies”. What no one can miss is, in using that expression, her inference to “Open Societies”. And indeed, that slips out. And we all know who’s behind ‘Open Societies’ – George Soros and the NWO! – https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/
    Take a look at, “Inclusive Societies” and have a laugh – (“Resilient and prosperous…” doncha know)

      Yes, if we ever DO find those rare birds….media hacks who STILL have some humanity and a mind of their own(or at least open to being so)-we need to really back them and let them know. They`re in a war zone, their jobs depend on us keeping them encouraged. So easy to take the lefts default position.
      I find hospital and pensioners stations are popping up nationally-but they have to use Sky via the USA , so their news is crap. But a few sly emails, or a smile at the Wetherspoons Curry Night tonight seems to move mountains. Still got it, especially after a Prosecco or three.

      https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/north-can-power-the-future-drax-boss-1-9367830

      Diversity is fine, it’s the law that all people have to treated equally as regards jobs.
      You don’t need to shout ‘we are obeying the law”
      The fact that she does.. shows she is virtue signalling.
