Weekend Open Thread 29 September 2018

The BBC party conference has now passed and the MSM prepares its annual full scale assault on any political view with which it disagrees.

We will have plenty of evidence of bias to record – perhaps just too much . Let’s hope the outgoing PM remembers her cough mixture this time .

    Sports girl Holly in a very short skirt on Breakfast this morning. Surely the BBC have banned or at least frown on this disgusting behaviour in the #me too era. Mind you not much chance of any of the’men’ at the beeb having a furtive admiring glance.

    If James O’Brien is not up for it, maybe the BBC can lure Gavin Esler back, given his ability to leave his politics in the gutter.

      And lest there be any doubt on which direction the bbc comes from, in the sidebar is a link to this story.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45683790

      ‘Evidence’ that ‘mounts’, in bbc world, seems to consist of them only publishing headlines from people whose testimony matches their beliefs.

        I haven’t followed this in detail as I know some of you have. What I take from that piece is the trauma of Ford (or any woman) testifying and therefore reliving an ordeal. I am sympathetic to this — I’m sure doing so brings up some painful experiences.

        She refers to “the circus going on around her” and “the male prerogative of it all”. But could Ford not have avoided this? I understand that she has not contacted the police about the original event and has (for reasons best known to herself) gone about this in a very political manner.

        I get that the steering narrative is that any woman subject to inappropriate sexual conduct shouldn’t have to undergo any repeat trauma so might as well believe them all.

        But can anyone enlighten me as to the normal US legal procedure and why she hasn’t filed charges in that way, thus bypassing the highly politicised ‘circus’?

        ——
        P.S. When did we refer to ‘heroines’ as ‘heroes’ — or did I miss that directive?

      Interesting to see the pro Corbin comments trying to compare Spain claiming the Isle of Wight because of the geographical proximity. Last time I looked the Falklands were 945 miles at the closest and around 1100 miles from Port Stanley to Buenos Aires. Never knew the Isle of Wight was further from the UK than Berlin.

    “I couldn’t hear what Brandon Lewis [Tory Party Chairman] was saying, but the questions sounded very good”

    That was Andrew Marr replying, from another studio, to sofa dolly and latterly BBC Breakfast sports reporter Beaky Nugent’s inquiry “What did you think of my interview?”

    I think we can conclude therefore that an anti-conservative aggressive accusative form is the approved BBC inhouse style. And it doesn’t much matter what the Conservatives may have to say for themselves.

    By the way, just to fill you in Andrew, I can tell you – Lewis’s answers were limp apologetic simpering and wet. He deferred completely to the BBC. So you guys win again.

        This needs to stop now . The world is officially mad. Now investigating someone for something they did at university 35 years ago during a DRINKING game !!!!!!! Utterly pathetic. This snowflake mentality has to be eradicated asap. So this woman was happily taking part in said Drinking game but is pure as the driven snow and never done a thing slightly immoral in her life. These women make me sick and actually are doing the complete opposite of what they think they are achieving by actually giving women a bad name. It’s gone too far now imo and needs to stop before someones life isn’t just ruined by these spurious allegations , but actually ended !!!. He said, she said is playground stuff, no place in top level political games

    I subscribe to a DVD service and, yesterday evening, I watched the film, ‘Darkest Hour’ which was devoted to a Winston Churchill devoid of support in his early days as PM.
    One scene in the film has Gary Oldman (Churchill) abandoning his car at a set of traffic lights on his way to Westminster. This following a suggestion that he consult the public on whether he should start concessionary negotiations with Hitler to save Britain. He hops on a train on the Underground and confronts a carriage full of the population – except one – one black that sits opposite (and obviously friendly with) a white girl who he is in conversation with. The scene continues with the black actor playing a prominent role in that sequence.
    I’m thinking about complaining to the film maker as, in the street scenes, I didn’t see any full burka shrouded women.

    BBC News Channel paper review strikes again with guest journos Sian Griffith of the Sunday Times and Ben Chu of the Indy – who, needless to say, in their press review comments, each reveal themselves to be anti-Tory and Remainers.

    The Guardian forgot to mention that the producers of the report, The Centre for European Reform, are an EU funded group whose sole purpose is to promote the EU.

    From its website: “The Centre for European Reform is a think-tank devoted to making the European Union work better and strengthening its role in the world.”

      Without the Guardian to keep them informed, several hundred daily readers would be bereft, as would the BBC, denied its prime source of political acumen.

    Marr sets the scene for the Tory conference in classic biased bbc fashion
    The sneering Polly Toynbee followed by the slippery Tom Watson who cannot answer the question of what labour’s policy on the Northern Ireland border is , yet is not challenged by obsequious Marr. Next it’s a Harold Pinter clip followed by the alive lefty luvvie Rylance.

    Marr was at his most cringeworthy this morning.
    Tom Watson is given an easy ride, followed by a sycophantic interview with actor Mark Rylance (why?) taking pops at US and U.K. foreign policy and letting us know that his friend “Jeremy” is not an anti-Semite.
    Then Marr tackles the PM, wakes up from his Watson slumber, interrupting her replies and becoming more and more aggressive.
    Then he rakes over Windrush once more, asking again and again for more apologies, and at the end is so curt and rude as he cuts her off mid reply to sign off.
    Whatever you think of Therea May, whether or not you agree with her, it was a typical Marr good cop-bad cop performance between Labour and Tory – another BBC ambush that leaves a nasty taste.
    They are clearly setting the tone for their coverage of the Tory conference, which is going to be in stark contrast to last week’s love-in.

      What a magnificent actor Mark Rylance is. Not only can he accurately portray dead people in film, theatre and television, he can now even speak on their behalf. He is fortunate that he didn’t live in the time of Thomas Cromwell, whom he portrayed in Wolf Hall, as this ‘gift’ may have led to accusations of necromancy and witchcraft and resulted in a painful and untimely death for him.

    At about 07.15.

    Woman golfer describes Italian contestant in the America v European contest as follows :

    “He doesn’t seem like a typical Italian and fly off the handle”.

    Sofa-sloths don’t challenge this stereotype. If Boris had done so, we’d still be reeling.

    Woman golfer goes on to say that she doesn’t like Tiger Woods!! Oh dear, tumble weed… She then says that his attitude towards children and fans on the course plus the hostility of his bouncers made her think this way.

    Listening to Radio 4’s Food programme now. It used to be an informative show presented by people like the much missed Derek Cooper. Now I am listening to a woman with that peculiar hybrid Jamaican / south London accent that seems to be everywhere. She’s interviewing mainly BAME interviewees about vegan food, especially jerk vegan food..
    Even on commercial radio there are adverts advertising products with this Jamaican / south London accent, most notably for KFC and McDonald’s but also for a host of other things.
    Unfortunately my bus stop in Birmingham city centre is right beside a KFC and McDonald’s restaurants so I get to see on a regular basis gangs, aggressive begging, anti-social behaviour, fights and stabbings committed on shoppers, commuters and each other by the ‘owners’ of this accent. But these incidents, as well as the stabbings, murders and acid attacks seem to be ignored by the BBC for the greater good of diversity.
    By the way, I haven’t seen the report by OFCOM this week on any of the BBC news channels saying that ethnics are OVER REPRESENTED on the BBC.

    More matters German: ‘Die Welt’ reports the credible and highly respected Emnid survey/poll finding the AfD to be the SECOND largest party in Germany, having overtaken the socialist SPD (Which -incidentally- provides Steinmeier, the Federal President and Maas, the toxic ‘anti-right’ foreign minister, i.a.) Steinmeier looks untenable to me. The ‘Grand coalition’ of CDU/SDP also does. Let’s see them collapse. The paper also reports Lindner, leader of the FDP (think LibDumbs), observing that the only response of the establishment and the media is to ‘denounce’ the voters who support the AfD.
    This is a little like UKIP overtaking Labour in the UK to become second largest after the Conservatives.

    That major Momentum mole at Tory HQ has been at it again. Last time it was clever suggestions like taxing pensioners and repealing the hunting laws that turned a majority into a hung parliament at a stroke. Now naïve and irretrievably stupid Treesa has been duped into thinking that spending the odd billion on a ‘Festival of Britain’ will be money well spent, greeted with rapture by a population only too keen on bread, circuses and Strictly Come Prancing .
    Naturally, its main theme will be the richness of diversity with the new Dome of Discovery flanked by minarets and the Festival Guides chosen from the Roma community, the whole extravaganza another production gem from the wonderfully fertile mind of Danny Boyle.

          Whilst it will be amusing seeing Tommy skewering Sky news in the courts over the interview with Jason Greasestain (or whatever his name is) this is only a small sideshow. – I was always cynical but It really does make me wonder how much “news” the MSM actually manufacture to fit their shitty, lying narrative.

            All broadcast media, and most of the print.
            While the electorate continue consuming their diet of bread and circuses we truly are ‘fucked’ as has been said.
            The only credible party that can field candidates to make a token show is UKIP, a party seemingly to have been on a self destruct mission.
            They can recover somewhat under Batten, but even UKIP has too many who think Battens anti islam views are wrong, backed of course by Farridge.
            It will take a miracle to get UKIP even back to their previous 14% support, let alone enough to win seats.
            I would have previously thought ( and said) a big enough terrorist outrage would wake the sheeple from their stupor, but post Manchester, London Bridge, countless paki rape gangs, ad nauseam, the sheeple still think ‘Stenders is reality.

        There’s no guarantee that any future immigration system will actually reduce net migration at all. All we have at the moment from the Tories is that there may be reduced EU numbers but increased numbers from elsewhere including no doubt Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan etc who all profess a certain religion and have already introduced a whole new world of murderous violence into our lives.

    We all know that a majority of the indigenous British population is very concerned about the growing percentage of Muslims. It’s not racism, it’s justified concern about the threat to our culture and freedoms of this unpleasant religion. Apart from the violence it’s the sheer growth in numbers of non integrating Muslims, however peaceable, that threatens our future.The MSM simply don’t allow this debate to occur without trying to rubbish those who express concerns. If we ever begin to turn back the Muslim tide it will be thanks to other communications media not the MSM . It’s going to be tough but we cannot afford to fail. TR needs many more speaking alongside him.

    Maybe if they studied a little geography at school and found some of your your mountains were called black they may get a little more coverage, regarding the lack of representation of the Black Mountains in mountain media ..or too many stop and searches of Black mountaineers or something

      Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the Ryder Cup contested for long before the formation of the EU ?

    Isn’t it still the case that if you ask the “average” person about brexit -they just say “why haven’t we left yet?” The Far Left Labour Party conference changed nothing – nor will the Conservative one .

    A distraction from hearing the latest poison from Brussels .

    I’m trying to work out if the ReichEU decide there is no deal – whether there needs to be any further vote in Parliament as the A50 time limit expires .

      Talking pictures TV is broadcasting “ fame is the spur “ which must be a training film for any labour politician selling their soul – but using weasel words to cover it up.

    Not on Al Beeb yet but ‘some say’ that Tory MPs call for Nigel Farage to be put in charge of negotiations.
    Perhaps Al Beeb with its so called ‘first for breaking news’ will let us know more?

      At least the ReichEU will be offended by comparison to the USSR -and even more importantly it should cause grave offence to the Krauts and the East German Haus Frau .

      interesting that the more civilised and tolerant a society becomes the more it gets dragged down by immigrant scum who will gravitate to its open culture with benefits for those who do not work, , who can spot what they preceive, in their evolutionary backwardness as a a weakness and exploit it, and bring their own intolerances and hatred with them, which is maybe why the human race is doomed
      We’re doomed, doomed I say

        I think civility and tolerance tempered with common sense are fine.It’s the naivety of the public and the treachery of some of our so called leaders and opinion makers which threatens our national and cultural survival. Our swamp runs deep and malodorous and it’s going to take a very strong patriot to drain it. Perhaps a prayer might help.

      The professor in question is Sir Geoff Palmer and his places of education, as listed in Wikipedia, include both Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt Universities. I would have no idea how to put a value on the benefit he has received from participating in these places of learning but I sincerely hope that neither of these two institutions are ever found to have had any links to slavery lest he were to find himself accused in the Court of Public Opinion of hypocrisy. I can’t imagine, either, that Glasgow University stands as the sole beneficiary of slavery from the whole of Scotland. What is clear is then is that The Good Professor has himself benefited from the so-called beneficiaries of slavery.

    Bryant should cover his bias better – but he his comfortable in the swamp with career politicians than unconventional types like D. Trump who actually get stuff done.

    Those beeboids will be so depressed when republicans do ok in the mid terms – they’ll need therapy when The Donald wins a second term.

        There was a choice of far left or far left. Besides the ‘plank’ ( Wood), Adam Price, or new kid on the block Rhun ap Iorwerth, the died in the wool bbc automaton.
        All of them like to espouse that ‘wales has always been a welcoming country’ or code words for all of the third world can come here.
        They occupy a very narrow band of support because of that leftism.
        Even in the days when Labour had turned toxic, Plaid totally failed to hoover up disaffected labour voters, even allowing UKIP a massive presence at the last election.
        UKIP were of course helped by the Proportional aspect of the voting system, but still Plaid fail to undetstand just why they dont resonate with Mr average.
        In twenty years time, plaid will still be wondering why they have failed.
