We could be coming up to crunch time in the Brexit negotiations and the future of our country .
The far left BBC will do it’s best to undermine the brexit position and we will witness it .
Midweek Open / Brexit Thread 10 October 2018

A sneaky first from a BBC hating lurker ?
Maybe he tricked people by the way the StartTheWeek thread is still at the top of the home page
Stew – Ha ha a horrible accusation which should be withdrawn immediately accompanied by an unreserved apology – learning points ( as they now say) and an immediate resignation
In the style of a BBC executive ..
It’s actually my fault because the top one is ‘ sticky’ and I haven’t worked out how to ‘ unsticky ‘ yet … sleepless nights …
This calls for an FBI investigation.
Dimebars
Isn’t there considered to be something rather distasteful and demeaning to gloat about coming first these days? After all when President Trump speaks about putting America first he is howled down as being evil personified. Anyway – Well done!
Yesterday the Government reports – Unlimited Low skilled EU migration has ‘No Clear Benefit’ to the UK .
Al Beeb are not very informative on this report? They are shouting it from the roof ?

Obfuscation.
Fed gave me heads up at the last thread that a new one had been created, but I’m late to the party AGAIN !!!!
Got to be sexist this.
All the lads above will yet be shamed on Womans Hour once I`ve done Jenni Murrays tax arrangements.
Are gastric bands and chihuahua colostomy bags tax-deductible?
We all travel first clars you know, Corbyn sits by the toilet pretending he`s not got a seat.
Would like to complain (but no point, I just get platitudes back) why our national news service, with all the horrible things happening in this country and abroad, many caused by muslims fighting each other (one can check that any way you like about current wars in the world) or their governments, why the BBC, our national broadcaster, decides to promote bloody strictly and towie et al on their front page, despite whatever ones political views it puts this country to shame with having a state funded broadcaster that is little more than a f@cking tabloid
Annu “your posts are very important to us – please hold for a call professional”.
Maybe our complaints department should be run by capita – sorry if I sound a bit nervy but I’m out of UK and the TV licensing people said they were coming on the 10th ….
This is called bised BBC but I suggest a secondary purpose: BBC tumbleweed, i.e. everything they conveniently ignore that does not fit their agenda that is readily availabe on any other news site
News, for example about those that come to our country for sanctuary and are criminals, rapist etc those who lie about their age to become political refugees, and are let into this country, those who hate this country yet happy to live here and claim benefits. those who seek to blame Winston Churchill as a racist etc etc yet have no relatives in ths country that lived through the blitz on London and Coventry
Annu
Bias by omission was always one of those areas difficult to prove / show but kind of proves the secret editorial guidelines al beeb uses to support the poisonous multicultural narrative the state has told it to support …
There’s a phrase for this – “strategic silence”.
Exactly-45yrs of EU deliberate drip fed poison into our nation, such as you mention Fedup2. ‘No country has yet made the journey from developed to underdeveloped. Britain could be the first to embark along that route.’ And that was written by Peter Jenkins back in 1978. We are now struggling through thick heavy water filled with piranha fish.
tarien
I suppose Britain has to be first at something. At least it will make the Leftists proud to be British. what a bloody shower of shi— sorry Fedup2 –excrement they are.
I agree Left Wright what a B shower we have across all political parties with perhaps the acception of a few, but those few, those happy few will have to swim anongst the piranaha’s-and unless they are toothless the chances of survival are nout. However out the bleak mid winter may come, the saviour we are wanting. Ok I know its along shot but one has to look on the bright side even it looks decidedly dismall just now.
Sounds like a real laugh. So… maybe politely decline?
* The Facebook page invites you to ‘meet’ her.
But mainly it looks like the bbc acting as PR for Greenfleece.
Isn’t that the whole reason Norway is so comfortably off
Comfortable ? its dark and cold and bloody expensive
Annunaki
I have never been to Norway, however, you say “it’s dark, cold and bloody expensive”, and I’m sure that you are speaking from experience but are they a nation free to run their own affairs without interference from un-elected foreign bureaucrats? Britain at the moment most certainly is not.
Bet the snowflake’s twitterfeed says that we need a second Brexit Referendum cos of DEMOCRACY

Oh and some go further

BBC quoting Greenpeace in promoting BBC Turkish webpages
Don’t see ‘salaklar’ there.
My biggest concern right at this moment is will I go back to the fridge and finish the wine.
In all seriousness what is totally wiping me out is not the wine but the latest scandal regarding our troops (thank god we still have some) and the photos with Tommy. Things have really gone too far and it’s time that ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. I feel so helpless and distraught at what’s happening. Yes it’s a combination of many many things big and small but at the front is Islam. The control and influence it already has and the damage it has done to our society and way of life is intolerable and unacceptable. Our entire establishment being the government, security and media must must bloody well stop right now defending the inexcusable Islamic invasion of our country and honour the lives of our serviceman who gave their lives so that I could be born and be alive now. I’ve thoroughly had enough. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
Mood – yes – I signed up to the petition and The Rebel but I think the army will just ‘ end’ those squaddies or give them the worst posting going …. is that The Falklands … any one know ?
Meanwhile the British State make TR appear really toxic and stresses him further ….
With the retrial retrial due in a week if I recall …
Agree and the snidey muslims are infiltrating everywhere local govt and eslewhere 8 % of the population 90 % of the whingeing
Annunaki
It’s the tail wagging the dog and the Lib/Left/Commmies are clapping- er- jazzing? their sweaty limp palms together at the prospect. Looking back I just cannot believe that for forty odd years I considered myself an international socialist. What a twerp!
This is what we have brought up as children:
Mayor slams Cambridge University students after they turn down call to promote Remembrance Day and to encourage people to buy poppies
Motion to commemorate ‘everyone who has been affected by war’ was rejected
CUSU council said attempt to broaden day of commemoration was ‘too vague’
Cambridgeshire mayor James Palmer: ‘Decision brings great shame to university’
Cambridgeshire Mayor James Palmer said debate brings shame to the prestigious university

Cambridgeshire Mayor James Palmer said debate brings shame to the prestigious university
Students at Cambridge University were slammed today after members of its students’ union rejected a call to celebrate Remembrance Day next month.
Attendees at the Cambridge University Students Union (CUSU) meeting on Monday rejected a motion for the commemoration of ‘all those whose lives have been affected by war across the University of Cambridge’.
The controversial move came after various amendments were made, including crossing out the phrases ‘British war veterans’, ‘Remembrance Day’ and ‘Poppies’.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6259837/Cambridge-University-Students-Union-row-Remembrance-Day-motion.html
This is beyond anything I could ever have imagined. The bravery and courage of our armed forces together with the civilian population who endured horrendous hardships during both world wars. It’s with some smug satisfaction that I can wish the Cambridge bunch a bright future. Together with their BBC chums they can skip happily into utopia. Thank god I decided to go back to the fridge.
Mood
“Going back to the fridge “ might be a new code which those youngsters not indulging in happy juice need to learn ..
You make me laugh.
Oops, you made me laugh again. I think we all need to laugh, although in some circles a sense of humour is considered not appropriate.
I only have two words for them, (and apologies to Fed for using inappropriate language)……… “little sh..ts” .
I find it amazing that when there were no university fees, the standard of education, and the morals and manners of students were as would be expected of a normal human being. Now there is a cost to attending university, standards have fallen, and students behave like the lager louts that used to inhabit Spanish holiday resorts – same behaviour and mentality.
I think that university fees should be much higher, and stringent fines imposed to students who bring their college into disrepute.
Hi Brissles.Just to say my Neice has started a medical degree at Norwich and apparantly they are very strict with the students in terms of accommodation, standards and behaviour etc.They get fined or punished for any damage or not truning up for lectures etc which is refreshing to hear?It is costing her a lot of money and the University accomodation is used more like ‘hotel’ accomodation in the holidays?….She is a great kid…unpretentious and hard working and no doubt will make an excellent doctor.My point is maybe some of the proper Universities have got a good ethos?…
Lucky, I’m sure we can all name a uni undergrad who goes against the grain of those depicted in the press – my own niece also did well and is now a deputy Headmistress (she’s female and I refuse to call her a Headperson). But something is going seriously wrong somewhere, when its becoming daily news of student behaviour / opinions / protests / and where they are always finding something to be outraged/offended by. Personally I find it tiring , and wish they’d get back to why they are there – to learn, and not waste their time by telling the rest of us how to be politically correct !
Hi Brissles…(Headteacher is the term)….I hope youre right and so far I see no evidence to the contrary.Maybe we are both old grumpy gits?….I think the protests are more in the USA than over here.I think British kids are just ‘morons’ today(I genuinely beleive that..they have NOTHING to say about ANYTHING).Thats my experience of talking to anyone under 40?……
Have to agree Lucky, on both counts. Those under 40 have nothing to say because they don’t have any personality – hence the moronic outlook and attitude to life.
And yes I have been on a journey of self discovery at being a grumpy git – started about 5 years ago when I realised I was disagreeing with everyone, shouting at the tele, moaning at the rubbish quality of restaurant food and the price of it, and kids running rampant in the supermarket with no parental control !!! I could list loads more, but I don’t need the stress.
AND I AM REALLY HACKED OFF WITH B & Q ! on deciding to decorate, I left buying my paint until Wednesday (yesterday) when I could get the pensioners 10% discount. Leaving the checkout I looked at my receipt – NO DISCOUNT taken off. When I disputed this, I was told the 10% discount is now only applicable on gardening products since 3rd September. Who knew ???? So any of you who hope to get your 10% on a Wednesday at B & Q forget it !
Presumably if they don’t support the memory of the British forces, they must support the enemies. Who said these lefties weren’t closet nazis? To be fair they’re quite open about their fascist sympathies.
Its so disgusting I dont know what to say…………
I feel so helpless and distraught at what’s happening
That’s the precise objective of what is going on – to make people feel helpless and give up. The exercise of political power is based on the maintenance of the illusion that nothing can be done by ordinary people. Yes, it is bolstered by the state security apparatus, but when the time is right then it will crumble. As any surviving members of the Politburo can testify.
Our entire establishment being the government, security and media…
The problem is that they are not our establishment – they exist for their own benefit and work on behalf of globalists or are beholden to foreign money and have no allegiance to the people of this country or their interests. As Lincoln put it in the Gettysburg address, the thing that is required is “…government of the people, by the people, for the people”. In this case, the British people.
IR,
All that you refer to will no doubt be on Soros’ payroll. They’re all dancing to his tune, certainly not the voters.
Agree entirely-heard this morning that V & A Museum is holding an exhibition of what they calle the Islamic World-the cleverness of whatever was produced since the 7th Century when the teachings of Islam were first brought to notice was through the talents of the Arab who had been at the forefront of Mathamatics, engineering, design much learnt from earlier Middle Eastern Peoples. Therefore as Islam can claim little credit, what do you suppose the Museum will consist of, other than duplicitous propaganda to support their invasion by stealth. Just learnt that there is another Exhibition at the British Museum-I think we all get the point.
Tarien,
Where are they showing all these islamickle accomplishments and inventions in the V&A…. in an old telephone booth perhaps.
Or will that be too big.
Enough space to fit an IED or an instruction on the technique of gay launching from a block of flats or maybe a rusty razor blade representing the joys of FGM.
Al Beeb tells us that the “Welsh Assembly votes at 16 plans pass first hurdle”
Time to get rid of the Assembly if the need the votes of kids .
Well if they’re fully grown adults then if they commit a crime they should go to an adult prison , no regard when sentencing for their young years ( they are supposed to be mature adults ) .
They can pay full whack for university and no special treatment whatsoever .
People of sixteen were twelve just four years ago who are no longer allowed to buy cigarettes, leave full-time eduaction of training, they cannot buy alcohol or watch X-rated movies.
Is the Welsh Assembly collectively mad?
Yes .
Simples
Bit of fun.

I posted this in he last thread but see that a new thread has been opened
………………………………………..
How many MPs do we actually have? Because all the focus is on Corbyn again. Always Corbyn, Corbyn says this, Corbyn does that. It is really getting on my nerves now. Not everyone supports Labour and there are other MPs and other parties who should get a mention as well.
But of course the BBC just cannot help themselves can they?
We have a PMQs verdict. What is the actual point of them? We can watch it for ourselves. The BBC screen them don’t they?
So what is this then?
‘The prime minister’s promise at last week’s Conservative conference that austerity was almost over was every bit the gift for Jeremy Corbyn that some had expected.’
Every bit the gift? Can one of those left wing Guardian readers at the BBC explain that please? Are they not meant to be impartial. It is bad enough the Owen Jones rag has spammed the same support for Corbyn four times today but the BBC just have to follow it don’t they?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45809282
Mark D’Arcy’s view:
‘As widely predicted, after the PM hailed the end of austerity in her conference speech, Jeremy Corbyn highlighted areas of public services still squeezed, and highlighted the impact on pay for teachers and the police. Confronted by questions like this, the PM rattles off figures and lapses into official-ese, constantly repeating the phrase “in respect of”.
This does not strike me as a very effective riposte – and although she eventually did get round to saying her government would not abandon fiscal responsibility, that phrasing was again a lapse into official jargon, rather than a fighting retort. The difference? Mr Corbyn’s questions could be (and doubtless were) slapped straight on to social media for the delectation of austerity-weary swing voters; the PM’s needed subtitles for those who don’t speak high formal Whitehall-ese.’
Was there any point in him writing the above? Just trying to sway things is he?
Laura Kassenburg’s tweet:
“Pretty effective attack from Jeremy Corbyn… on safe ground for him though” @bbclaurak on #pmqs questions about austerity #politicslive https://bbc.in/2CxXgG1
And what was the point of her opinion? Just trying to stir it up as usual?
Seriously I really am looking forward to the day the BBC closes down and I hope by that day we would have forgotten all about Jeremy Corbyn and the left!
Katty Kay has let herself go.
This is a trans Charlie Williams, and I claim my prize.
Aw reet flower?

Just where is Charlie Williams when you need him ( for non wheel tappers see Wiki or whatever ) ….
Charlie Williams – a man so well-balanced, talented, normal (and very funny) that he performed in Salisbury, Rhodesia without batting an eyelid (and was much appreciated by the White Rhodesians). Compare and contrast with today’s perpetually whingeing, chip-on-the-shoulder, professional race hustlers of the BBC and Labour Party.
people choose to dye their hair blonde? I think they mean women. And its to help make them look younger. Any more questions?

The BBCs “Forethought” on Radio 4 warned me of racially challenging language , seeing as it was serial black power dopeheads of 1968 on at some black festival in upstate Northamptonshire.
But where else? Wellingborough Posse, Straight outta Corby an` all.
But nothing controversial at all-they have a poem called “Niggaz are scared of Revolution” that they didn`t read. But the word gives the white liberals at the BBC attacks of the vapours, so I rang the helpline, seeing that I was affected.
Not just niggaz is it?…what with Tommy, gay cakes, Brexit and Trump-seems that WE are equally scared of it too.
Are we the white niggaz that Elvis Costello once sang of in Olivers Army?
You know, I think that we just might be.

StewGreen, the 11.15 entry is just one bit short of sainthood for the left.
Out of 100:
1. Being left-wing 15/15
2. Being female 15/15 (Could reduce to 5/15 if attribute 1 is moderate left, or even a penalty of -25/15 if a conservative as it would betray the sisterhood)
3. Disability 15/15, Cerebral Palsy is accepted, unless you are a Consefvative MP so Labour members can laugh at the way you talk.
4. Of Colour 15/15.
5. 20/20 for being a Muslim
6. Gay 0/20. If completely Trans a bonus of 25 could be awarded up to a maximum of 100/100.
She scored an impressive 80/100. Halo being polished as we speak.
I will consult the press assocaition and newspaper webistes for the news then have a quick look at the BBC website to see what they are either ignoring or distorting to their own agenda
But to continually listen to the BBC either radio or TV every day is surely a form of masochism ?

Lord god I checked site it’s real -.selling at £6 to infidels as well ….
Nice cheap way to get a cover for my motorbike.
Bye bye M and S – no more sales to Scrobs for some time.
Fed up
I thought you were joking..Jesus , somebody at M&S is F**ing idiot if they think this appeals to their core market – which like the BBC listeners and viewers is getting smaller every day..I wonder why?
Not just hijabs for 3 year olds?
Where are the wedding dresses for the seven year olds M&S?
I went there-not to M&S of course, since they used Tracey Emin to sell their tops , I`ver never set foot in their grief holes.
The photo sends shivers down my spine and brings back a buried memory.
Picture the scene. It’s 1978, I’m 10 years old, I’m watching “Armchair Thriller” and “Quiet as a Nun”. It’s episode 3. Yes it’s THAT episode.
And I spend the entire night scared shitless. I actually couldn’t wait to get up for school the next day.
Apparently today is “National Coming Out Day”.
Maybe we should bake a cake.

Nadiya is so on it.
(Sorry, misreported by accident first).
There’s an advert on TV featuring (surprise surprise) a Muslim soldier who decides to stop in the middle of a war zone just so that he can get his table cloth out, kneel down and pray to some non-existent deity. The tag-line at the end is “This is belonging”; the inference being that anyone can join the army and will be tolerated.
However if you actually watch and listen carefully, you’ll hear what sounds like possible distant gunfire, and I’m thinking – This isn’t “belonging”, this is getting your colleagues needlessly killed.
Yes, I believe that ad has been spoken about previously. I have seen it. It might have been posted here.
Presumably whoever commissioned that ad would be scarpering down the deepest bunker with their camp aides at the merest click of a safety. Hopefully not by one of said aides.
Any organisation that can no longer find recruits from its traditional source and then expects to make up the shortfall by targeting ‘minorities’ is, forgive the pun, ‘shooting itself in the foot’. The minority market, by definition, is limited and the message to the majority market is that they are no longer wanted.
If a farmer can’t find the tallest wheat stalks in a wheat field he is hardly likely to find them in his wife’s flower bed .
If they formed a Sikh regiment it would be a great success. They won’t, of course.
I can’t help but say, this story on the missing and by many, presumed dead Saudi Arabian dissident Jamal Khashoggi is some story, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45817736 Maybe the next big story. I almost think there is a remote chance, the journalist could be ‘hoaxing’ it, you know, like that reporter in Ukraine a few months ago, Arkady Babchenko and they faked his death and then he came out. It certainly is an odd story. That’s my take, maybe he’s alive. Everyone seems to be pronouncing him dead and indeed, I do not hold the Saudis up as being something great. If countries are going to kill someone they don’t like and I certainly do not approve of this, have espionage agents act covertly and do it. Not where your Consul is under CCTV and satellite pictures can follow a lot of who goes in and who comes out. A lot of details have filtered out but one doesn’t know whether they are true or false. The guy’s cousin, Adnan was an arms trader (out of Saudi Arabia?). So who would they deal arms to? Anyway, Jamal Kashoggi looks personable enough. Okay, sorry for the dissertation.
That’s all. I have a new email so I’m hoping I can find a way to change it on this website. Thanks to all and thanks for this fine website.
” have a new email so I’m hoping I can find a way to change it on this website.”
Just go to the top of the page and click on the ‘My Profile’ tab, I would think.
I’ve never understood why I’m told that I have to embrace ‘diversity’. As any relationship has work both ways, why am I instructed to other peoples’ values when they don’t return the compliment? I was born a Briton, and while I’m English, I went to school in Wales, and also had a great job with a Scottish firm, but there was always mutual respect and give and take.
This diluting the Brtish bloodline with lots of foreigners is not to my liking. Yes, I’ll respect their privacy but they can damn well defer to mine at the same time, and no politician is ever going to change my mind. I’m not racist. I’ve been abroad a few times – never to Africa or Asia, and I don’t really see why I should have to cope with their problems – we have enough here after all!
Our stupid politicians squander shed-loads of foreign aid to undeserving countries, while oldies like me and my family are left in the lurch. This isn’t ‘diversity’, it’s foreign bribery, so why not let the multinationals who rake in the eye-watering profits from arms etc., foot the bill, while the bloke and his wife who’s been legal all his life and paid all the blasted taxes can retire at last and get a better final bit of life after 70 years?
‘Diversity’. The wet dream of every leftie who has never understood how to create and develop a culture by manual, techncal, and inventive prowess. Now large companies are being expected to include ‘ethnic’ policies to enable them to function ‘correctly’. My old economics tutor was very astute in his recommendation – back in the 60s – that everyone should become self-employed. I wish we’d all taken his advice more seriously! ‘Diversity’ back in his day meant a new by-pass around a village!
The bbc organisation is an absolute disgrace. They really do need to be broken up, with the TV tax abolished. If they think I care a tinker’s cuss about their opinions they can try and sell me something which I want. Why do I have to pay money I can’t afford but am ordered to with the threat of prison, to a bloated orgainsation which I dislike intensely, for an awful service only worthy of a third-world fleapit.
Well said Scroblene
It is a one way street..as for this ethnic wage gap…will they compare like for like jobs? And will they compare black African to Indian or is it just white versus everyone else – will they compare British born black to recent immigrant? I am pretty sure if they compare Indian to Black there will be a huge difference in the NHS..I doubt they will though because the objective is to show how wicked White people are..
We are doomed if the like of BBC continue…
Well put Scroblene-I am over 75 and don’t to pay iniquitous levy-nevertheless my wife and somply record anything we fancy and rarely pay much attention to the BBC News knwoing it is all programmed to negate any real intelligent information. Tittle tattle mostly.
Bravo, Scroblene. I’m sure you speak for many, though probably not enough, sadly.
Why aren`t the Chinese, Turks, Japanese etc expected to grovel to their media elites and state fed quangos full of do gooding traitors then?
Until they are doing so the BBC can take a hike.
Great country, but we need to burn the barnacles off the boat-45 years of nastiness needs to be removed, starting March 30th 2019.
There are hundreds of Videos on You Tube by leading FEMALE scientists/intellectuals/pyschologists…….DEBUNKING all this diversity and equality nonsense (and it is plainly nonsense)..im sure many of you have checked them out.
Janice Fiamengo for one…..(apologies to all of you who already watched them…BUT lots of people dont).
I am currently in the process of writing to my MP regarding these ‘pseudo-science’ degree courses such as ‘Gender studies’ and ‘womens studies’ etc their affect on the media and the BBC etc……If you look on the Conservative Party website, even they have been tainted with this nonsense.Diversity/Equality and Women’s rights sections etc…….It needs to be CHECKED by somebody……….I would love the Conservatives to become proper Conservatives again in the true sense…….
Our Carol Kirkwood got her high temperature yesterday about which she is anxious to tell us – it was at Northolt.
I wonder whether that was on the tarmac or up a jet engine outlet?
Meanwhile the IPCC & BBC work their magic with the warming. There’s snow today on the Scottish hills.
Maybe hot flushes?
She better watch out… young producers know the licence fee covers any ageism court cases.
The grievance industry looks set to make a killing and more proof if needed that the “conservatives” under TM have totally lost the plot.

“Hurricane Michael: Record-breaking ‘hell’ storm mauls US”
Nothing says ‘record breaking’ like coming third, in Beebworld.
Unique.
What’s that? Oh, a hurricane, during the hurricane season, affecting an area prone to hurricanes for the last few billennia, upsetting the locals who might probably have been better not building their homes there, in the first place. Always a “record” event – never happened before – well, never been quite this strong, possibly…
And all, no doubt, caused by we human folk infesting the planet and driving SUVs.
ditto bush fires, California, Australia…
This only started when they started naming these squalls!
Up north this would be bracing drying weather, surely.
Cyclones, storms super tropical typhoids?…
It`s weather, it`ll be due to Brexit and Trump in any event.
What happens to old storms and hurricanes? Katrina in a care hme or the chat show circiut I wonder?
Now THAT was challening weather.
How could anything called Michael be a threat, they`re nearly all pussycats?
Now a Jeremy would have to be a nasty.
Ethnic Pay Gap
So let’s do a little thought experiment:
Suppose the UK suddenly has a humanitarian brainstorm and flies in 1.5 million Rohingya Muslims (apparently that might be a good idea in any case because all and any amount of inward migration is jolly good for the economy, right?)
Well then our new neighbours would make up roughly 2% of the UK population.
Tell me this, within a year or so, 2 of the CEOs of FTSE 100 companies ought to be Rohingyas (for gender equality let’s say one man and one woman) but should that quota for some unknown undefined reason not be met… that would definitely mean the UK was “racist”?
And if your answer is no, that would not mean the UK is racist – then please explain the point of measuring a supposed ethnic pay gap?
Bbc well represented.

And… doing their bit…
Pulitzer time, clearly.
Why not change it to “Womble”.., it would make the classic Mike Batt Song more sense –
And the John Lenin song “womble”
And Whitney Huston “ I’m every womble “
“Girl you’ll be a womble soon “
The Helen Reddy Classic “ I am womble “ would sound much better …
Great idea FedUp2!

I was reading (well actually listening to the audiobook and reading)…1984 last night….the chapter where the Winston Smith is discussing changing language with a friend……it is such a brilliant novel and it is so close to all this cultural Marxist nonsense going on that the BBC promotes……the outcome of MANIPULATING and CHANGING language and FACTUAL HISTORY constantly like the current feminazis are doing is that end up with NO thought,No language….NOTHING.Its a frightening brilliant book.I didnt realise when I was forced to read it at 15……..
Just heard Amazon Prime are going to do women-only football commentary: “Amazon will consider offering one feed with women only behind the microphones when they take over the Premier League rights.”
And the BBC Pidgin site shows the frontline where quality ends and diversity begins.
Rest assured though, it’s all progress.
Asi you are using logic and common sense and as a result you clearly fail to understand the deeply hidden discriminatory attitudes that results in a totally unacceptable ethnic/gender/obese/insert-whatever-cause-you-want pay gaps.
Perhaps Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour or the Afternoon Drama departments might like to draw further inspiration from this powerful ‘storyboard’ depicting the feminist struggle against the oppressive patriarchy and white Christian values?
Whilst rolling around in bed earlier with man flu (a slight cold) wondering whether to bother going to work or not (i did, daft) i caught some BBC Breakfast News. Oh what a joy to behold. The lovely lego headed Nagga passed over the Ben to give us the lowdown on discrimination at work due to obesity !!! Yawn. Ben comes accross very much as a YES man, a slimy little toad who you would see at those cringeworthy networking events all week rather doing any actual work. Anyway, i digress ..the next artical off we went to Leeeza Nazimbo at the London Film Festival.
A 5 minute piece of so on how this years festival has the most ever films directed by women , great AND they were celebrating how many of the films had STRONG FEMALE LEADS !! I mean really, who gives a toss if its a man, woman , dog or pig, if the films decent its decent. This constant need for the BBC to celebrate women being strong is tiresome. Nobody cares. At the end of the piece he mentioned the new laurel and hardy film for a few seconds, clearly done just for balance but it was too little too late.
Doobster,
Steady on! I’m not sure you can no longer refer to a, “pig” without the Stasi thought police investigating. Thinking about it, presumably that goes for the expression, “telling porkies”. What about, pork scratchings. The list could go on if I bothered. These could be words/expressions that put the Oxford English Dictionary into reverse: removing words from the dictionary rather than annually increasing the number. I’ll get the muslim Council of Great Britain on to it immediately although they have doubtless already prepared a draft list to submit to their handmaiden, Treezeer.
After all, if a 50 years+ lady can be prosecuted for saying, “have a gay day” as that’s homophobic, referring to a pig must be islamaphobic right?
Speaking of whom…,

Is that an Assistant Commissioner for Hone Affairs seeking sanctuary from the great unwashed seated next to her?
Is this the Uber plus service? Or have we, the taxpayer as usual, foot the bill?
Maybe the met police can also sell advertising space on all of their vehicles. And when they’re not breaking down the doors of those people who have improper thoughts, perhaps they could advertise window cleaning and garden maintenance services.

‘Hell’ as Hurricane Michael hits Florida
Michael
Hurricane Michael has hit north-west Florida, bringing winds of 125mph (200km/h) and flooding beach towns. The most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the area, it’s left almost half a million people without electricity, while one person has been killed by a falling tree.
Florida Governor Rick Scott warned of “unimaginable devastation”. Michael has already killed 13 people as it moved through Central America.
“We are catching some hell,” said Timothy Thomas, who stayed at home with his wife in Panama City Beach as the storm passed. Video footage shows the destruction.

“Paul Royall
Editor, BBC News at Ten
Paul Royall is editor of BBC News at Ten. After joining the BBC in 1997 as part of the original News 24 team, he worked on BBC Breakfast before becoming editor of the distinctly different Six and Ten in 2012. Since then, he has overseen reporting of two general elections, the Scottish referendum, Brexit and the presidency of Donald Trump, and has responsibility for deciding the running order of the two programmes. In this in-depth interview, he answers the question he’s most asked – about the role of presenters behind the scenes, who writes the scripts, and what happens when things go wrong – and reveals how a trainee came up with the idea for a new BBC Three initiative to appeal to younger audiences.“
I’ll bet that trainee will be DG soon. Paul does look a bit hideously old, mind.
Seems he is responsible for the bbc’s Unique Brexit Coverage.
Say ‘fromage’, mon ami.
Expecting to shut the radio off after Toady’s 0800 news headlines, I was intrigued by the focus item which followed the news: the Criminal Cases Review Commission and its failings as set out by the retiring head. Interesting. There followed immediately an item extolling the history of islam our Far Left Marxist State Broadcasters wet dream subject. I couldn’t get to the off button quickly enough.
Switchd on R4..WH
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie seems like a lovely Nigerian woman talking about feminism and adding her tale of being sexually assaulted 25 years ago…wow a black woman, feminism and me too and tales of assault, throw in a bit about Trump, racism, slavery…it’s perfect for R4 and BBC.
What strikes me is that I am learning nothing about her as a person or what she has done but all about black issues…it’s disjointed ramble…well done BBC
And today’s victims are……..
Any person of ethnicity who works!!!!!
Yes, they get paid less than white people, apparently. Although needless to say, the only reason for this just must be some form of closet waycism.
So companies, who obviously have absolutely nothing else to do, like make products and services at their own risk that people want to buy, must now calculate their ‘ethnicity pay gap’.
Once again, the right-on Beeb lefties reveal themselves in their choice of story.
Yet this initiative is apparently being pushed bybthe Prime Minister.
I think I know why.
All this transgender guff over the last few years?
Tony Blair is now self-identifying as a female and ‘her’ name is Theresa May.
Sluff
I heard a so called Tory called Baroness busy body
Wittering on about getting companies to ‘ deliver data .’ On ethnic pay .
What about age discrimination – or height ?
Do dark footballers get paid less than light ones ?
This snowflake ache to equalise or quantify seems to be speeding up towards the great society
Yet apparently young men and girls are self harming and killing themselves in great numbers – but there is no link ….
A lot of “people of ethnicity” are working class, although SE Asians and many from the Indian subcontinent would dispute that. But we all know how this is going to work, don’t we?
The ones the BBC is most concerned about are under-represented because of the social class they belong to and their modest educational achievements. Whites from the same background face exactly the same problems. The difference is, of course, that the black ones will get a helping hand but the white ones won’t. It’s been going on for years and explains why several surveys have reported that white, working class males are some of the lowest achieving in the population. Where is their “BAME”?
If this “problem” must be addressed, surely it would make sense to look at social class, not race. That would help all ethnicities caught in the same trap. But that wouldn’t produce the “right” result, would it?
Sluff
Surely, if the ethnics achieve pay parity, their usefulness to British big business and government institutions will be gone and they can be promptly returned to the land of their grandfathers to help rebuild all of those countries. How does that sound?
meanwhile in Pakistan ( the subject of a late night documentary BBC2 last night) .Asia Bibi waits to hear if her final appeal against a death sentence for being a Christian ( for that is really the charge ) is successful. In prison on this trumped up charge for years.
Where are the protests ? The marches on the Pakistan embassy ? The earnest BB C talking heads?
Now if they kill her I have a suggestion. Break off diplomatic relations at once and It is entirely possible that President Trump will do so .
Not our craven lot. Saudi Arabia means money ( that is another issue ) and Pakistan means exactly what?

BBC breakfast reports The Story of Shrouds Of The Somme
[/url]
The idea for the artwork behind the shrouds, in which figures representing the dead are laid out in rows on the grass, came to Somerset artist Rob Heard in 2013 while he was recovering from a car crash
British servicemen killed on the Somme battlefields are represented by a 12 inch figure, wrapped and bound in a hand-stitched shroud and laid out individually in rows on the ground.
The initial 19,240 shrouded figures took Rob three years to craft. He has now begun creating an additional 60,000 shrouds so that each of the 72,396 British and Commonwealth servicemen
However look at the back screen. Once more they are pushing their political agenda.
[url=https://postimg.cc/jD0FtZ1z]
All of us are fully aware of the sacrifices made by the commonwealth forces, but in this instance they have portrayed Indians at the front of the backdrop.
As far as I am aware, only two Indian companies were involved at the Somme, (kept in reserve) with about 70 killed. Compared with the Canadian’s 24,000 killed wounded or missing and 400,000 British. If anyone more knowledgeable can confirm these figures.
Listening to John Major burbling on with his views about Brexit etc. I got to thinking about the state of news reporting on the BBC.
Their interview with this former PM was their lead item for a while today – tomorrow it could be Blair, Mandelson, Clegg, Geldof or someone else with no real basis for elevated status to be given a platform on which to share their world view.
The “five Ws” ought to provide the basic structure for sound, accurate news reporting – that is Who, What, Why, Where and When.
Stick to those five rules when compiling a story and you provide the reader, listener etc. with everything they need to know.
The BBC now seems to be using its own version of five Ws which is more like Who, What, Why, Why, Why.
They report who said or did something. The first two Ws.
They then explain why this is important. This may be a million miles from the experience or interest of the reader/listener/viewer.
They then quote someone else saying why whatever was said or done is either agreeable or disagreeable, which of course depends on their politics or agenda. This often gets more air time than the original statement or action.
They then bring in their own BBC expert to further explain why all this matters – and this reinforces the bias which is already apparent.
Which leaves the rest of us asking the same thing….why, why, why do you treat us like idiots?
Excellent Ed.
That`s an original take. Accurate too.
She is quite pervasive on the bbc.

Is there a border between the Falklands and Argentina? No.
Are all the islands British? Yes.
Do all the islands wish to remain British? Yes.
How far are the Falklands from Argentina? 300 miles.
The stupidity of the BBC/Left knows no bounds.

I suppose the owners of ITN have remain skin in the game ….

Heard of Google BBC? Good.
Enter “World Map of IQ levels”.
Bingo, what it shows BBC, is most of the world’s thickos live in Africa or in an arc from Arabia to the Indian sub-continent.
That is why they are poor, because they are stupid.
When they come to Europe they are second rate in the IQ stakes, so they are paid less.
I actually logged on to comment on the mouse story.
cant be a**d giving the so called BBC a click and improving there webstats but I will take a guess does it mention hindu indians, chinese , japanese, koreans doing rather well or does it neglect to tell us that the british appear to have a very selective form of racism
Dear God, its never ending. All I can say is, if you’re black, pink, white, yellow, green, black or brown, and you’re in a low paid job. Move jobs !
According to the BBC website tonight…SAME SEX MICE HAVE BABIES…there you go people…Brave New World.The BBC are pushing this ‘no such thing as a man/woman/husband/wife’…it scares me SHITLESS where this anti-evolutionary nonsense is going.My GOD there must be some wierd creepy people coming out of universities into the BBC?….what on earth is possessing these people?….and im not even religious particularly.I suggest all us men out here forget being men and all women likewise…Brave New World is on the way thanks to our Public Broadcaster……….C****(sorry thats sexist and crude…apologies)

Mr.Fedup…….Is that censorship?…Free Speech?…lol?…….dont tell me we are all getting scared of using WORDS?………..
Call it censorship if you like but I have asked for moderation in language here . If others object to me changing the capitals you put in for the C word then so be it .
I’ve always said that I would tell the person I’d removed something out of courtesy if nothing else . I’m not here to have battles about censorship but I have volunteered to keep the site going because of what I believe the bias of the BBC is having on our country .
I can’t engage in a dialogue because it’s beddy byes for me as I’m about 4 hours ahead of Blighty time . I just scan the site before then….
I have no objection to the change. Luckyharry, get over yourself.

Driving home earlier I had Steve Wright BBC 2 on. He mentioned that Kanye West was invited to the White House today for lunch with the president. He then very smugly made suggestions as to what they would be eating . McDonald’s he said, fillet o fish , hamburger, he was almost laughing at this point. It really irked me at this point. It’s just the complete lack of respect for the president of the United States from anyone what so ever at the BBC. It stinks. Honestly, it flummoxes me daily as to why people hate him so much ?? I love the guy. All these nobody actors etc just have to be seen to dislike him. Racist they scream but he isn’t, he just isn’t. He has people of colour in very senior positions all over the shop. He has blacks in record employment, in fact the whole of the USA in record employment, Dow making new highs, business booming but most of all , all he wants to do is look after America and the American people and they just do not get that these leftards. Why ? I wish he was our prime minister, I really do. But all these London media bubble elite can do is snigger . Baffling !!!
Doobster78
“London media bubble elite”.
The Swamp.
Steve Wright is on £300,000.Nearly 40 years ago he was a great Radio 1 DJ…..today he is a PARODY of the characters he used to mock..’Mr.Angry’.’MrRockFM’ DJ etc….I cant say I blame him.We all have the RIGHT to switch off…but we should also stop paying for the BBC as Taxpayers/Licence fee payers…simples.I STILL think Tony Blackburn is a brilliant DJ!!!…but then I must be getting old?……
Steve Wright would do well to consider the statement that it is far better to say nothing and be regarded as an idiot than to open one’s mouth and prove it. He may also wish to consider identifying as a women in order to make his job safer when I’m sure he would have no problem finding something to wear befitting his personality. Personally, I think baggy, shabby and drab would fit the bill.
Another unhappy Beeboid who returns to his Linton Travel Lodge, much as Partridge did.
A sad and reduced old man, used to like him-but have to stick with early Tony Blackburn now. The last of the line.
I hear you. The snobby liberal elites can’t stand him because even though Trump is rich and famous, genuine people feel that they can relate to him.
Sneering at Trump because he might like burgers and ice cream only highlights how arrogant and condescending the people are trying to ridicule him with that type of attack. I like burgers and I like ice cream and I like those that aren’t afraid to admit it.
It’s like how the Beeb focused on the UN laughing at Trump but failed to notice the claps that followed immediately afterwards when the UN audience appreciated that Trump was capable of laughing at himself, something that these self important fools are incapable of doing.
How come the lefties were maoning about how much it cost us to look after Trump when he graced us in June?
If they could only control themselves and not threaten to kill him-it would have cost us much less.
That`s the Left for you.
Burn down the house then maon about how slow it was to call the fire brigade.
Not that the BBC would ever think like this. Blinkered dumbclucks.
