Start the Week Thread 1 October 2018

The  Far Left BBC will throw its full bias at the red Tory Conference this week- desperate to get a non PC sound bite or snoozing grandee . We ll have plenty to report . If the BBC s false coverage of the UK isn’t enough we will witness the anti Trump bias in full flow as the Supreme Court nomination circus continues…

    Good one RT is carrying a good one about the polytechnic / uni of Brighton carrying a sex workers guide in the freshers exhibition – obviously a potential career for those with 2:2s in meedja studies.

    That’s got to be a wimmin s ‘ hour special.

      Sex workers? Damn sight more useful than meedja studies grads, or most ‘arts’ degrees. They do an honest night’s work and give pleasure to their customers, which is more than can be said of the beeb.
      (And you’re not forced to pay them if you don’t want their services.)

        Sex workers. Do they exist? I lived for 15 years in Manchester’s red light district in Whalley Range, saw them sitting on the walls near the park each day. Used to chat with them. They sold drugs, fenced stolen goods, participated in muggings of would be clients, but never to my knowledge engaged in sex – far too risky.

      Ah big – I left the gender issue open in my comment since sex working is ( presumably ) an equal opportunity career .
      Personally I believe in freedom of choice should any one seek such a career as long as they pay their taxes .

        They’re saying now that the stand was set up to educate potential ‘sex workers’ on sexual health, in a ‘fun way’… which is laudable, I guess.

        Still, if it was my 18 year old son, just left home for the first time and being confronted with that during Freshers week it would make me squirm too… I know you can’t protect them from reality for ever, and we live in a screwed up ‘reality’ right now, don’t we?

        Especially at Unis and on the BBC it seems.

        So yes, it probably does get to other countries out there with their own version of tipping on the fly.

        The % finding its way back to upset junior bbc producers learning to surf in Cornwall is therefore minimal.

        We have a new chapter of bonkers bored middle class housewives round here posting bloody meat trays and dumping packs on supermarket conveyors. They seem scary. Some blonde, fat, tattooed, bespectacled and prone to jabbing fingers. All with Diesel Volkswagen SuVs.

        So I will likely resist pointing out the health-saving and waste-prevention benefits packaging is designed to serve.

    How commonly do drinkers suffer blackouts? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45711410

    Thankfully, Auntie has provided some brainwashing to show us that Brett Kavanaugh probably suffered a blackout as a result of alcohol consumption, so he is guilty as sin. Trouble is, their description could just as easily apply to Dr Ford, and therefore explain the holes in her story.

      If Kavanaugh had blacked out due to alcohol, it is very, very unlikely that he would be in a fit state to push her into a room and attempt to attack her. It should have been easy for her to escape if she had wanted to.

      When I was young I often used to drink a lot, too much. But despite however drunk I sometimes got, I never blacked out. Unfortunately I was always able to remember everything the morning after! I know that if I had ever tried to commit an assault on a woman when I was drunk that, despite me being tall, any woman would have been able to get away from me easily.

      Her story does not add up. I thought at first that someone might have assaulted her. I now wonder if she was ever actually assaulted at all and that this is all a choreographed sham, planned with “Democrat” Party requirements in mind.

      Maybe she used to fantasize about being assaulted when she was young and in her therapy sessions it was her fantasy memory that was triggered not a real memory.

      If, however, she is telling the truth and Kavanaugh as a 17 year old did try to grope her, her acting performances and “Democrat” Party convenient timings make it look as though he is innocent. This would do women who have been genuinely attacked a grave dis-service, as they will be less likely to come forward because there will now be a great deal of scepticism on future claims. This last sentence is even more valid if Kavanaugh is innocent.

Their focus on mass immigration will be the death of the EU.
        Now we are witnessing the Globalists devotees, Merkel, Treezer, Macron and others sticking rigidly and doggedly to the UN/Globalist/Soros migration policy whereas others in the EU elite are vocally beginning to do as all other reptilian politicians do, slither toward changing sides.

    2018-10-01 BBC News Europe.
    A senior scientist who said physics “was invented and built by men” has been suspended with immediate effect from working with the European nuclear research centre Cern.

    Prof Alessandro Strumia, of Pisa University, made the comments during a presentation organised by the group

    He told his audience of young, predominantly female physicists that his results “proved” that “physics is not sexist against women. However the truth does not matter, because it is part of a political battle coming from outside”.

    He produced a series of graphs which, he claimed, showed that women were hired over men whose research was cited more by other scientists in their publications, which is an indication of higher quality.

    Just as well for the professor he did not use the term white.

    The BBC provides quotes from two female scientists stating how bad the bias is.

    The BBC provides no quotes whatsoever on whether the claims of, unofficial affirmative action, as I shall call it, are true.

    The muslim home secretary is apparently going to present his plans to curb immigration after march next year. But he seems to be only talking about EU immigrants.

    He’s also voiced concerns about the paklanders who have been raping our children. Now if he was serious about reducing the number of immigrants who come to our country, contribute nothing and engage in violence, rape torture and murder, wouldn’t a good starting point be to stop paklanders and other dangerous muslims, such as banglas and somalis from coming here? And here’s the truth, he could do that now because it has nothing to do with the EU.

    But instead he uses his position to persecute anyone who dares to speak out against these muslim atrocities or is critical of islam. And yet people keep voting for these traitors.

    “White people were revealed to be underrepresented in the data, which showed they comprise 71 per cent of the UK-based TV industry compared to 88 per cent of the wider labour market — however, this was not considered a problem by Ofcom, which praised efforts by all five of the main broadcasters focused on “improving representation of employees from minority ethnic backgrounds”.

      They know exactly what they are doing. They know that the Government, establishment and media have decided that for whatever reason Islam is to be protected at all costs, and have reasoned (quite rightly) that their career development depends on enthusiastically parroting the same wearisome pro Islamic platitudes rather than focusing on the actual truth.

      They are nothing more than ambitious Quislings, more than willing to try and sell to us any half baked politically correct bullshit even if in the long term it results in the destruction of all that we hold dear.
      As Tommy said to Jason when he was released from prison “Why should I speak to you – all you do is lie”

      The fact that they found it necessary to re-edit the interview shows that they are more than aware of what they are doing.

      These people really are the scum of the earth.

      If the commies in the USA win this battle and prevent Mr Kavanaugh from becoming a supreme court justice, it will be a very dark day for the rule of law as opposed to the rule of hate filled collectivists and the mentally unstable.

      In addition, every boy from the age of puberty will have to be very careful about what he does, says and where he goes to for entertainment and with whom he associates, particularly women. He had better not get drunk, chat up girls, do stupid stuff that young men do when they’re together. In fact they should all become hermits and remain celibate for their whole life.

      The Tommy Robinson persecution, the President Trump persecution, the Brett Kavanaugh persecution, these are all manifestations of the existential war that has been declared on men, especially heterosexual men and if it isn’t won by normal, heterosexual men reasserting themselves then the destruction of Western civilization is almost certainly assured.

        Why? He will be ‘hanged’ anyway so he might just as well go for the ‘sheep’ rather than the non-existent ‘lamb’. Come his trial he can always try blaming his mother, sister, female primary teacher, female secondary teacher, female headmistress, female TV life-style pundits, etc. When he has been told from the time he can crawl that he is useless what else can a boy do?

        I saw some ‘ethnic’ shopping bags hanging outside a restaurant today. I thought they were just part of the ‘theme’ but then I saw they were priced at £45. I did wonder who would buy them, women I thought, strange creatures! In my pocket I had my cotton ‘Safeway’ bag that must have cost, oh 50p or so.
        No-body forces them to buy this stuff. I dare say a fair few are doing it with their husband’s money anyway!

    Sometimes the BBC are their own worst enemies, through sheer ineptitude and bias.
    Watched the programme about plastic in the sea. Now personally i think it is a genuine problem which needs a decent airing. But the programme……….
    Naturally the programme is used as a round the world jolly, so we start in Lord Howe Island, off the coast of Queensland. Nice if you can get it. We are treated to many examples of the presenter (female, non-white needless to say) emoting and looking shocked and forlorn at the contents of sheerwater birds’ stomachs. Ok, we got it from the start, you don’t need to keep on with the emoting. Then its off to Indonesia to see a river of plastic floating on, well, a river. The problem (which I’ve seen in India for myself) is totally inadequate, often non-existent, refuse collection, due to local and national (usually emerging economies) government failings. But that is swiftly brushed aside and we are told the problem is down to those nasty private sector global brands selling products in sachets. Weird thing was, in all the coverage of plastic floating on water or submerged beneath it, there were no sachets to be seen.
    So the programme is human interest driven, full of presenter emoting, and with the usual private sector targets. What could have been useful is rendered useless with questionable credibility by the BBC’s insatiable bias and dreadful lefty agenda and editorialising.

    “……globalists are patriots who have a worldview that is not limited to the political boundaries of one state.”
    “By refusing for the United States to play its proper role as an integral part of the change coalition, he [Trump] is not even doing his own country any favor. His stubborn refusal to deal with real and present challenges only increases the pressure on future U.S. governments to take the necessary actions.”
    https://www.theglobalist.com/globalism-patriotism-donald-trump-united-states/
    This is how the ‘Globalists’ / UN / Soros see themselves: beneficent liberators of the Worlds population (except China, Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Middle Eastern countries et al) of course.
    Just think what would become of the downfall of the US after another Saint Obama/Hilary administration? It was running downhill rapidly under Globalist control. Trump has pulled it back from the brink, hopefully. The Socialist, ‘bringing it down to everyone else’s level before merging was well underway before Trump. That’s halted.

    Housing crisis and Christmas food in the spotlight among new BBC commissions
    Flog It is dropped
    A new raft of daytime programmes will air this winter on BBC One.
    As part of the broadcaster’s “next generation” of factual programming for the winter season.
    – new art-commissioning series hosted by Nick Knowles, and a show about budding entrepreneurs trying to launch their inventions.
    – Britain’s Housing Scandal will shine a light on the 200,000 domestic properties that are said to remain empty despite an estimated 140 families becoming homeless every day, according to Shelter
    (That’s same as the Channel 4 series 4 years ago !)
    Matt Allwright will expose the nation-wide crisis across the five-part series, while trying to pair empty houses with people in need.

    – chef Paul Ainsworth and home cook Catherine Fulvio will pair up to present Best Christmas Food Ever.
    inspired by a different celebrity guest appearing in each episode.

    – trade renovations for the real world trend of commissioning artwork in Home Is Where The Art Is.
    3 local artists battle it out in each episode to create bespoke pieces for mystery buyers, who they get a brief taste of by snooping around their homes.

    – The Customer Is Always Right will see each episode focus on three entrepreneurs, all in their first year of starting, who are trying to launch their inventions, ranging from pet accessories to home and garden tools.

    – The Best House In Town, which will look at homeowners across the country who go the extra mile to make their houses stand out from the crowd.

    – new factual series Defenders UK, which follows the work of enforcement agencies across the country who crack down on crooks and conmen, including fly-tippers and unlicensed taxi drivers.

    Dan McGolpin, controller of BBC programming and daytime said: “We’re creating a new generation of daytime television programmes for BBC One.
    “They are modern, accessible and relevant to viewers all around the UK.”

    Caught a bit of Jeremy Vine today. Some female supposed to be working in the field of High Energy Physics said that their ‘top-priority’ was ‘gender equality’. We are truly doomed if she represents the quality of thinking in UK universities.
    A thought experiment: One could take a representative sample of the UK adult population and measure their heights or the reflectance of their hair. It would be then possible to establish the median value at which the population at large is evenly split. Then when recruiting physics professors one simply chooses those that equalise the heights/reflectance for your faculty. How exactly that improves research or how one actually achieves ‘equality’ across multiple factors is surely worth a Nobel prize!

        Might have been a genius move. At the moment the best they can muster is huffing and puffing and trying to convince even themselves about ‘solidarity’, but there is bound to be ambitious scabs out there.

        Frankly I could care less about the MSM, as they don’t hold power to account now anyway. They are simply poorly disguised activists.

        I’ll get my news and analysis elsewhere based on facts rather than gotcha interviews, dodgy edits and wafflefests to avoid saying anything, and then wield my vote accordingly.
