Weekend Open Thread 6 October 2018

The Far Left BBC will turn the possible  US Supreme Court victory for President Trump into a defeat as it shows its’ full bias.Next biased attack please …

Russians are  making themselves easy targets as they try to muscle in on BBC territory to undermine the West. We are meant to believe the Russians want to hack the NHS – a culture still using fax machines to avoid the accountability of emails . Perhaps they’d favour us with hacking the BBC.

Then the House of Clowns returns after another little holiday joining with the BBC to block Brexit .

    Mardell and the BBC currently having kittens about Kavanaugh’s appointment. They simply can not tolerate a victory for President Trump. It’s nice to see liberal lefties on the back foot.

    The BBC seem surprised that the Prime Minister is trying to appeal to Labour voters to vote Tory.

    From their website:

    Responding to Mrs May’s article, Labour Party chair Ian Lavery said the claim that austerity policies were over was “a con”.

    “The Tories have spent their entire time in power running down our schools, local services and NHS, while gifting huge tax breaks to big business,” he said.

    “The prime minister is clearly spooked, so is resorting to desperate pleas in an attempt to revive her failing administration. The British public won’t be fooled.”

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45774715

    ……………………….

    I think that the public are feeling spooked about Labour themselves, a potential far left dictatorship? If anyone has any sense then they would ditch Labour.

    Funny how this seems to be written as a surprise. Is it not what politicians have always done? Trying to take votes from other parties? The BBC really are struggling now!

        I wouldn’t say people are leaving the Tories in droves. If you do leave and place your vote elsewhere then that is a vote for Labour, even if you vote for any other party.

        At least the Tories are not riddled with all of that deselection like Labour are.

          tax rates are the highest for generations
          they have procrastinated, lied and obfuscated on brexit
          they have done f all about immigration if anything its got worse

          they have done f all about terrorism
          they have done f all about rape gangs

          they have not done anything about the problems , but they have cracked down hard on anyone who objects and they have embraced PC madness and identity politics.

          they are the enemy of the white (actually) working and middle class of Britain

          fuck them the greedy anti-british bastards, keeping down any chance of a real sensible patriotic conservative party arising,

      Yes Goat, you’ll be safe from the EU, Islam etc in France of course. There’s none of it there. It’s a real haven. And it’s got that nice fellow Macron to look after things.

      Anybody who wants to consider leaving the UK because of the political situation should ask themselves what planet they are on.
      Because if you haven’t got a better one to go to (or own a tardis) then you will face the same problems.

      I left in 1968. I could see the way things were going (and I was proved right).

      What did surprise me, about fifteen years ago, was the numbers of Brits who decided they wanted to resist the decline.
      Bad though the situation may be at least there is a resistance and increasing numbers of people are willing to call themselves patriots and the size of the pro-Brexit vote in the face of Project Fear really was magnificent.
      Age and income make it difficult for me to move back now, but who knows. I’d certainly like to.
      In 1968 nobody seemed to give a damn. Now it’s different. My advice to people is, ‘yes live abroad for a while it can be good for you, but don’t give up on Britain’.
      Times are a changing again. This time there’s hope.

        1). Though there are plenty of Islamics in France, it would seem the vast majority are merely passing through, on their way to the Nirvana of handouts, and free everything, north of the Channel.

        2). Where I live, I experience no immigrant related problems, at all – rarely see a Muslim, life is far more pleasant, and so are the inhabitants.

        I wouldn’t move back, even if I was bribed. Britain won’t be improving any time, soon, so I’ll see out my days here, with a far more enhanced way of life, thanks.

    Doctor Who: Jodie Whittaker a hit with fans after the first episode

    The BBC praising the new Dr Who lass, and kindly telling us how the entire world adored the new incarnation of the doctor almost as much as the anonymous reviewer.

    Alas, the comments section doesn’t appear to agree. I’d say for every 1 who found it tolerable there are 10 who thought it cr-p of the highest order and despised the Diversity of the casting.

    OK my first complaint in several years is E-mailing it’s way to the complaints section at the BBC I await my templated reply. “I don’t bother to complain to the BBC as I realise you investigate the complaint against you so inevitably my complaint will be invalid. I also realise this is an agenda issue for the BBC which you like to ram down viewers throats with a one sided view. However I was extremely unhappy with the item run on breakfast with 3 climate change disciples giving us their opinion on climate change. The male guest informed us that “all” the scientific community were behind this. All? Really? I am sure you will tell me your usual excuses that over a period of time the whole of the argument will be shown. However for those of us who believe climate change is a lie seem to find very little to zero representation. “

    Sophie Rayofsunshine (for it is she): At a summit in South Korea, the International BioScience Conference today set out the findings of its latest report into the state of the environment. Our environment correspondent James Frazer reports from Seoul:

    (Close-up of elderly Scotsman in khaki battledress, eyes bulging in terror) We’re doomed! Aye, doomed! We’re all doomed! We have to start eating food we’ve produced oursel’ in our own wee gardens by the end of the week at the very VERY latest. Or we’re all going to die. Aye. And if we don’t cut fossil fuel emissions by six HUNDRED per cent by this time next month, we’ll all be swept away in a global apocalypse the like of which mankind hasnae seen since biblical times, Aye. Thousands of square kilometres of wind farrums will have to go up now – RIGHT now. There have been calls for people caught driving vehicles with petrol engines to be executed on the street, where they’re found, aye, very fair, very fair. Otherwise: doomed, there y’are.

    (Cut to fierce looking woman standing outside Lidl, Bexleyheath) It’s clear we’re going to have to make some big changes, starting with our diets. (Camera pans to woman with trolley containing some thin sliced salami and half a pint of semi-skimmed) Look at this bitch. (points at salami) What have you got that for? Don’t you understand you’re destroying the world? Don’t you understand you’re literally KILLING US ALL!! You should be ashamed of yourself! Bitch!

    Rayofsunshine: Well, there we have it, conclusive proof. We’d better start jolly well sorting ourselves out straight away, otherwise we’ll all be dead by 2024. And now, some Russians.
