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…

    When I got home today I was greeted with my third letter from the Tellygoons warning me that I was going to be visited by an ‘Enforcement Officer’ threatening me with a fine of up to £1,000.
    This was rubber stamped in red with ’Enforcement Visit Approved’! Although, I must add that the rubber stamp was not really a rubber stamp, for it was printed on, along with the rest of the artwork on the ‘billet-doux’ from Crapita.

    Al Beeb know jolly well what they can do with their letter.

    Al beeb has a headline on its website
    “Coud the Westminster attacker have been stopped ?”

    It then goes into that traditional recital of blaming anyone but the evil vermin himself .

    What it doesn’t say is that rubbish like him – free loading on Blighty – should never got to ‘ arrivals’ in the first place – and as we know – there are thousands more just like him .

    On the upside – at least he is dead

    It looks as if Treezer has seen off Boris and sooner or later she will lead the Tories into an election. Be prepared, the silly woman thinks this dancing stunt has made contact with the British people and expect more dancing during the election campaign.

    This follows in that tradition of Kinnock’s ‘We’re alright’, and Milliband’s bacon sandwich.

    Why are they all triggered about some drunken student Tories being ‘offensive’? I imagine writing ‘f**k the NHS’ was written by someone at that glorious stage of drunkenness where you think everything you say is hilarious. Why take everything so seriously?

    So now students cannot get drunk and make poor attempts at humour? What sort of hell do they want to live in? 1984 becomes more of a reality every day. They really are finger-wagging killjoys; I would not invite them to any of my pub crawls – what a bunch of miserable tw*ts.

    I’ve taken to switching off the Far lefts favourite queer son – Owen Jones . His parent paper -The Guardian – is a sour thing – always finding the worst in any event or story . Who buys it? Perhaps publicly funded organisations out of your taxes .

    The thing I enjoy most is the on tap ‘begging bowl’ they forever throw out when visiting their site . May it fold sooner than later and master O Jones can get paid directly by the taxpayer as a beeboid . He’d fit in really well .

    Ps – I only mention’queer’ because so often in life now ‘sexuality’ is used as a weapon for some reason or another – be it personal or as a group. Master Jones deploys it when he chooses too…to be a ‘victim’ or something or other .

    A serious news presenter should have covered this recent hoax by five academics who set out to expose how progressive post modern doctrines lack intellectual rigour. Peer reviewed academic journals published hoax papers. Trouble is that the BBC is full of this shit.


    Editor’s note: For the past year scholars James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian have sent fake papers to various academic journals which they describe as specialising in activism or “grievance studies.” Their stated mission has been to expose how easy it is to get “absurdities and morally fashionable political ideas published as legitimate academic research.”

    To date, their project has been successful: seven papers have passed through peer review and have been published, including a 3000 word excerpt of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf, rewritten in the language of Intersectionality theory and published in the Gender Studies journal Affilia.’

      The whole public sector conspiracy basically colludes in saying “I`ll pretend I never saw that”. This applies as much from Acid Attacks in White City as it does to Godfrey Elfwick.
      The power of the media lies in deciding which turds of theirs are to be polished and served up as “news”-May going to speak to Abba, for example?
      And which stories are to be buried ,or allowed to wither on the vine like the Tommy Robinson case, the Grenfell fraudsters-and, of course Muslim grooming gangs across Europe.

        I think the Tommy Robinson court case was postponed because the original date of 27th. September would have clashed with the Conservative party conference. That they hadn’t realised it when setting that date could mean many things such as the judges aren’t conservatives, they are uninformed about what events are upcoming, they knew but thought they’d create some mischief, or perhaps the whole bloody lot of them are incompetent fools. Either way, I think pressure was put on the judges to move the case to October. So much for our independent judiciary.

    This package has been running all day in the usual way that BBC Lincs/Yorks TV also put their pieces on BBC Radio Humberside & BBC Radio Lincolnshire
    They’ve just run it on Look North : They sent the journo & cameraman to Cordoba with a group of Lincolnshire farmers
    Their 5 minute report boils down to this : “So how do farmers in dry Cordoba deal with the dry climate ?
    .. ah they get together and build huge reservoirs”
    water activist farmer “and we too in England will have to do something like this as the climate changes”

    Well actually I can see they went on Sept 11th as they were at annual meeting of the #EUWMA, the European Union of Water Management Associations, in Cordoba.

        He told a reporter that’s why he was able to make his yes vote on judge Kavanaugh conditional on there being another FBI investigation of the evidenceless accusations. It seems his moral compass is very flexible. I think, a while back, he also joined a bunch of Democrats on a visit to Cuba, which I’d have thought would bring into question where his true loyalties lie.

      The arrangement worked on a practical level, with the women cooking together and helping each other out with childcare. “When you have been through something rubbish like someone leaving you, petty stuff didn’t matter,” says Janet.

      She did not charge Vicky any rent for the first year, telling her to save her money to get her own place. Instead, Vicky paid for a cleaner twice a week. In many ways, Janet says, it was easier living with a woman.

    Vive la difference, plus ça change
    It’s amusing to watch the top of the BBC Business tv show at 8.30 on the news channel. I say top of the show because I’ve switched off by about 3 minutes in. It’s been completely feminised this morning, with presenters and guests all in skirts, having a bit of a natter about business related subjects. Fair enough, you could say. Mind you, women don’t appear to have brought any new insights to the subject. On the contrary, it’s the usual tedious BBC anti-Brexit agenda. I notice the one voice of the patriarchy, boss of RBS, (a middle-aged white chap, but with an antipodean accent) goes straight to the BBC airwaves with his quote ‘hard Brexit could push the UK economy into recession’.

    ‘Momtaza Mehri, who is Somali-British, was recently named the Young People’s Laureate for London. She sees poetry as a powerful tool.’

    Powerful tool for what exactly? If it’s such a powerful tool and ‘resonates’ with so many people then why the need for all the public commissions, BBC promotion, prizes etc?

    I think the wording behind May should be ‘Brexit means Brexit in name only’

    I believe we import far more cars than we export with the eu.
    If the U.K. car makers think tariffs in the eu will reduce car sales then the same must be true for eu car imports. The U.K. car makers would have a big advantage over eu imports and would probably sell MORE cars than before.
    Nobody seems to mention that.

    Also,
    These employers, care homes for example, who say they must have the cheap labour.
    This ‘cheap’ labour comes with many other costs which remoaners tend to ignore.
    Working tax credits.
    Housing benefits.
    Child benefits.
    Schooling costs.
    Nhs use and many other monies they are able to claim.
    Then, there’s the Brit denied this job who is then paid all the dole money plus other benefits.
    The cost of paying the first sums to the overseas worker plus the cost of payments to the out of work Brit must come to a tidy sum.
    Give the job to the Brit and the savings are huge.
    The remainers don’t see any of that, they think every immigrant is £thousands gain.
    If an employer takes an immigrant in then the employer should pay all the benefits, nhs costs, housing costs, schooling costs, child benefits etc instead of the taxpayer subsidising employers.
    I don’t know if anyone has done a cost analysis although I’ve heard each immigrant costs tens of thousands and only the employer makes money from this arrangement.

    If immigrants really are a net gain then sending a couple of million Somalians to Greece should get their debt down.
    A couple of million Syrians should help reduce Spanish youth unemployment and a few million Eritreans should get Italy on the road to recovery.
    Unless of course, they have been telling us lies.

      Where my sister lives the chances are that the first person, (and the next and the next), will be an Asian woman shuffling along the pavement. I doubt if they are an ‘economic benefit’. Ever so often there will be a ‘white’ couple with a child or two and as they pass by I hear them chatting away in some east European language. I doubt if those children are an ‘economic benefit’.
      Where I live I often see several ‘grannies’ walking with toddlers or children in pushchairs, again they chat away in Polish. I doubt if any of them are ‘economic benefits’.
      It is probably true to say that the hospitals in Birmingham would have closed down without the ‘benefit’ of Asian immigration – they wouldn’t have enough patients!

So follows a quick chat on how much we should send. All disasters get a hand out from us, but why should we be seen to be the main donator to a relief fund. Its f….g crackers, we are not the sticking plaster for the world.

      Whenever I see “journalists” talking about slow to respond in disaster areas it shows me how little they understand about the logistics of working in a disaster area and are out for the sensational headlines.
      The company I worked for helped during the 2004 disaster in Indonesia. Masses of “we must do something” aid was sent to Jakarta and ended up in a big mess rotting in the airport. The World Food Programme was overwhelmed and the company I worked stepped in and organised proper warehousing , trucks, floating warehouses, and helicopters to get the aid to where it was needed. This was especially important where the roads had gone. We must do something without expertise is totally useless and is mere virtue signalling for governments and reporters.

      From the latest ‘Media masters’ podcast blurb:

      Rageh Omaar
      International Affairs Editor, ITV News

      Rageh Omaar is international affairs editor at ITV News. During his 25-year career, he has reported from some of the world’s most unpredictable conflicts and humanitarian disasters in Kabul, Baghdad and Gaza. His 2017 report on the impending famine in the Horn of Africa led to more than £50m of aid being raised, and cemented his reputation for hard-hitting coverage of humanitarian disasters. In this in-depth interview, he recalls some of the pivotal moments of his career, from interviewing Nelson Mandela to the “seat of the pants” experience of presenting News at Ten.

      Not sure “hard-hitting coverage of humanitarian disasters” is the same as “rehashing cash-addicted NGO PRasNews” any more than swearing at people until they buy your song helps people kept in camps with nothing to do except get jiggy to make the next famine worse.

    Often we need to remind ourselves that we live the reality – because the stuff we hear on the BBC shows Beeboids live in a parallel virtual virtue-signal universe.

    This morning they have David Lord Attenborough of Gaga and Bluster who has changed out of his desert boots and baggy khaki shorts and is now comfortably ensconced at the old gents club campaigning for paper staws and against Trump. The horrible Donald just won’t let the rest of the World Order turn the global thermostat down a notch – like we want them to and they could easily have done…

    Then someone says everywhere they go they see abandoned plastic straws, on the pavements, in the grass verges, in the gutters… we’ve all seen the pictures of one up a turtle’s nostrel…

    Aparently the BBC campaign has achieved something. If you’ll believe them this is a customer-led demand for paper. Oh and now we’re importing the paper straws from China at four times the cost! And are we sure the Chinese are ethically sourcing the paper? And the carbon footprint of that addition transportation? Not to mention the adverse balance of payments cost to the UK.

    Mariandra Heunis, whose husband was tortured and murdered during one of the many attacks on white farmers in South Africa, has posted her account on YT, in order to contradict SA President Ramaphosa’s statement in NY, that there were no farm murders taking place in SA.
    It will come as no surprise to anyone on this site that the Marxist ANC, who encourage this sort of thing with their many ‘liberation songs’, have their slave media in the US who will publish R’s denials, fudges and obfuscations, without question.
    If nobody takes up the cause of these isolated people, declared war on by their government, their cause is surely lost. So view the video please, like and share.
    I notice she has not included footage of Ramaphosa telling his lie, but Willem Petzer has, in his video ‘Boer widow speaks out…’, also on YT.
    Those of you who have seen Lauren Southern’s ‘Farmlands’, will not be surprised by this account. It’s not one you’re likely to see on the beeb. Wouldn’t fit into their narrative.

    Sajiv Javid’s conference speech about immigration
    Seems he’s ticking boxes.
    \\ ….
    We shouldn’t brush aside the *legitimate concerns* that many people – most people – have had about the way immigration has been managed, especially the anxieties of those on low pay or in low skilled jobs.
    The *irresponsible way Labour increased immigration*, without any real mandate, has understandably undermined the public’s trust.
    They lost faith that politicians will manage immigration sustainably

    But that doesn’t mean they are hostile to individuals.
    Just look at the reaction to difficulties faced by Afghan interpreters who helped our troops.
    Or Caribbean families who started coming here in the 1950s. When the British public cries out for decency, they’re usually right.
    The *Windrush* scandal was a public policy failure many years in the making.
    These were people who rightfully settled here from the Commonwealth decades ago and became pillars of our communities.
    The way the system had been treating them – over many years – deeply offended our sense of fairness.
    So WE are doing everything to put it right.//
    (ehh didn’t some of them FAIL by failing to normalise their own immigration state, and travel on Jamaican passports etc ?)

    \\ Our eyes were opened in a different way by the tragedy of *Grenfell*.
    That fire affected a truly *diverse community* of residents.
    (Diverse ? no it was undiverse in the way MOST people were of foreign origin)

    \\ For me, even responding to it was the most moving and harrowing experience of my life.
    (pass the sick bucket)
    And it laid bare how some communities have not been given the same standards and opportunities that we all expect.
    We have to put that right too.
    (Jeez if you think Grenfell is the most unjust thing in Britain you are way out of touch)
    \\ But there is a wider, more positive story here. It is my strong belief that immigration has been *good for Britain*. We have… // it continues …

    Not quite BBC but it’s about a Bake Off competition

    Funnily enough I’ve not heard this on the BBC who are usually so very keen to deliver Bake Off-related news snippets

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/rose-west-wins-prison-bake-13338964

    ‘Rose West wins prison bake-off competition after impressing fellow lags with Victoria Sponge cake’

    ‘West who was locked up for life in 1995 for murdering 10 girls and women, is said to have impressed fellow prisoners with the sweet treat.’

    “There are some very violent women on the wing and a lot of them are very aggressive towards West because of her crimes. But she tends to defuse situations by offering other prisoners cakes and biscuits.”

    ‘Last November, it emerged that the killer was reportedly enjoying a ‘middle class’ life behind bars – listening to The Archers and getting foot massages.’

        It makes you wonder what this NWO/islamic Government would do if there was a sudden uprising. I guess they would not hesitate to bring in the police + army. Problem there, as I see it, is the police/army would have to confront many of their own families and/or friends. The word I picked up a month or two ago was that plod was pretty pissed off with the goings on of the Marxists/PC/’Hate Speech’ faction and deserting the Met in quite considerable numbers. The Army? The retired hierarchy is clearly not at all happy with the nonsense and as, no doubt, they are still, unofficially ‘connected’ one wonders whether the Army would turn out.

    No! Our MPs should be at the back of the queue when it comes to protection. They are the ones brought the Desert Death Cult to our shores, they are the ones that seek to criminalise anyone that objects.
