Start the Week Open Thread 29 October 2018

Budget Day .  The Far Left BBC will be talking Austerity and moaning about the pre brexit economy because of low unemployment , low interest rates and higher basic tax allowances .

 

It will  be a waste of time really because if we are lucky enough to get out of the EU without agreement the sums will all change .

The anti Trump propaganda will ratchet upon in front of the midterms next week .

All Souls is on Thursday

just a friendly reminder – reasonable language please …

      They all are. Reading from the same script. As usual.
      This about the President who enraged the same people when he moved the embassy to Jerusalem .
      Then he was being far too pro Israel. Too friendly with Netanayhu.

      According to the BBC: “The hearing lasted only a few minutes to set a date for Thursday, when the prosecution will bring evidence.”…

      So in the US even someone who (allegedly) commits murder, with a bunch of witnesses… has their trial postponed several days so evidence can be gathered… and a fair trial and process can be followed.

      Good job he ain’t in the UK, with a name like Tommy Robinson… the UK government would certainly not waste time with some small items such as evidence and due process.

      The UK government makes me want to vomit blood.

    Theresa May blamed Immigration for housing crisis, low wages and social cohesion problems …. what has changed since being PM?

    “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.”

    Far Right! I have no idea about Brazilian politics and I don’t really care but this person wants to stop corruption and make the people of Brazil feel safe in the streets, sounds good to me.

    The fuckwits at the BBC mention he has said ‘racist and homophobic comments’ without giving any evidence.

    It’s democracy, enough is enough.

    On a different note I was in my local last night and got into a conversation with a group of teens about the media. They get their news from a wide spectrum of Internet sources and think the MSM is full of shite. They said that TR, Brietbart, Milo and Rebel spoke more about their lives than anyone else and wait for it…………thought the BBC was a shit stiring pile of shite.

      in which Jon Sopel embarks on a meandering load of drivel intended, I think, to portray himself as a fair-minded commentator on Doanld Trump. The article lacks any real cohesion or direction and includes elements that will surprise no-one who has paid attention to what he has written before: self-sanctification; facts followed by dubious conclusions; virtue signalling; history followed by dubious conclusions; faint praise followed by warnings about the future; guilt of DT by false association and downright sophistry regarding the equating of criticism of George Soros with anti-semitism.

      Regarding the newly elected president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, the article gives great illumination to what the BBC, and presumably the rest of the swamp, considers far-right policies:
      The eradication of corruption
      The driving down of Brazil’s high crime levels
      Defending the constitution, democracy and freedom
      The relaxation of laws restricting the ownership and carrying of guns
      The reduction of government waste
      The reduction of state intervention in the economy
      A suggestion about pulling out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, arguing that its requirements compromise Brazil’s sovereignty over the Amazon region
      The cleansing of corrupt politicians, a campaign promise which has been very popular with Brazilians who say they are tired of the corruption which has seen dozens of high-ranking politicians from the established parties jailed
      He has opposed abortion on religious grounds
      Mr Bolsonaro has also mooted the idea of moving the Brazilian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
      All of the above has been gleaned from the BBC’s very own article and appears, to me, to make Mr Bolsonaro far removed from any credible description of being far-right, he would get my vote.
      Does the BBC think we need their labels to interpret what we are reading?

      Why do they always have to throw in childish ad hominems like ‘Far Right? Always, always telling you how to think.

      That NPC meme is so brilliantly spot-on. Political correctness is akin to being pre-programmed because you already know exactly what they are going to think about everything: women always victims; immigration fantastic; and so on. There is no point watching the MSM as it is Groundhog Day – the same crap over and over and over. They have made their minds up about everything when in reality there is so much to think about and fight for.

      It’s great how much the NPC meme triggered them and their entire reaction to it proves its point: rather than meme back like a playing character they just shut it down and shout NPC lines like ‘hate speech.’

      BBC et alia are so, so uncool these days which is a huge problem for them.

      It would be so great if Trump could refer to someone as an ‘NPC’ in a tweet.

      Don’t forget misogynistic. Sarah Smith (Labour) included that with ‘racist’ and ‘homophobic’ on the Today programme. That is, as well as saying the new Brazilian president lauded the former military dictatorship. All, as you, say, without providing any evidence – but, hey, smears are great so far as the BBC is concerned! btw, their description of him as ‘homophobic’ is probably because he believes marriage means the union of one man and one woman which, as far as I am concerned is correct and should be mainstream opinion.

    The latest news is that Ofcom is to review the depth of analysis and impartiality of BBC’s News and Current Affairs output. This probably comes after a growing number of complaints from scientists. For instance in the latest Mensa Magazine, there has been a repeat of the complaints about Media Censorship of causational climate science, especially in Britain. It also explains how many scientists have proven that Carbon Dioxide induced Climate Change is as President Trump has said “A Hoax”. How Gerhard Gerlich proved directly the “Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics“, and how Ned Nikolov & Karl Zeller produced the formula that works for the Greenhouse Effect on Earth and the carbon-dioxide Atmospheres of Mars and Venus, using the “Unified Theory of Climate”. It also mentioned that the mainstream media and the BBC censored any reports about the London Climate Change Conference held on Thursday, 8th September 2016.

    It also mentions the fact that, for two hundred years, Astronomers from William Herschel onwards had known about correlations between Climate Change and Sun Spot numbers, this was followed by more accurate correlations with Solar Cycle Length and then finally, the Hale Magnetic Solar Cycle. By 2018 it had been established that these correlations are caused by the speed of the centre of the Sun relative to the centre of mass or barycentre of the Solar System, which determines the length of the solar cycles, or more importantly the 22 year, Hale Magnetic Solar Cycle. This in turn is caused by the orbits and masses of the Planets, short Hale Magnetic Solar Cycles have higher Solar Magnetic activity due to the increase in the speed of plasma within the Sun. Between 1913 and 1996, only one of eight Solar Cycles was longer than the mean Solar Cycle length of 11.04 years, the last of these was the shortest Solar Cycle for more than 200 years, the strength of the Suns magnetic field more than doubled, the cosmic ray flux fell by 11 percent and there was a 8.6 percent reduction in clouds. This caused alarmism about Global Warming which lead the United Nations to set up the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), but this organisation was corrupted by environmentalism, politics, conflicts of interest and the corruption of the scientific method, as well as the fact that amongst the 40,000 delegates at the 2015 Paris Summit of the UN Convention on Climate Change, Climate Scientists did not dominate the debates that produced the agreement. This lead many Climate scientists to call for the IPCC to be disbanded as well as to set up the 2016 London Climate Change Conference, which was dominated by Causational Climate scientists such as Atmospheric Physicists, Solar Astronomers and Meteorologists. This also resulted in US President, Donald Trump, to end US funding for the IPCC in 2017, and to say that man-made Climate Change is a “Hoax”.

    I also received an invitation to a presentation by Professor Valentina Zharkova on Wednesday, 31st October at 55 Tufton Street, Westminster.

    She will talk about the solar magnetic field observed from the Earth. How Solar Magnetic dynamo waves are used to predict long-term solar activity on a millennial timescale. This prediction revealed the presence of a grand cycle of 350-400 years, with a remarkable resemblance to the sunspot number correlations with Climate Change. Maunder (grand) Minimum (1645-1715), Wolf (grand) minimum (1200), Oort (grand) minimum (1010-1050), Homer (grand) minimum (800-900 BC); the medieval (900-1200) warm period, Roman (400-10BC) and other warm periods.

    This approach predicts a mini-Ice Age from 2020 to 2055.

    But all this is CENSORED by the BBC, and whatever happens, it could be good news. Either Ofcom’s reputation will go the same way as the BBC Trust, with a Groupthink Whitewash of the BBC, or, the BBC’s reputation could be damaged, with Fran Unsworth committing suicide.

      If the BBC correspondents had sufficient intellectual curiosity and moral integrity, they would question on behalf of the general public how CO2, being only 4/10,000 of the Earth’s atmosphere, could have had the warming effect claimed. If “the science is settled”, this should be easy. No great specialist knowledge is required to grasp this point, simply a willingness to play Devil’s Advocate.

      Ask yourself: how many people in the street could state roughly how much CO2 there is in the atmosphere? Even if there is significant Global Warming due to CO2, which I doubt, the supposed mechanism for this should be explained by the BBC and subjected to rigorous efforts at disproving it, since the consequences of decarbonizing the economy will be costly.

    I am currently travelling westwards, and turned on the tele in my hotel room last night to hear the news. CNN had a ‘well able’ blonde presenter discussing the massacre. A so-called expert was brought on to discuss the growth in ‘hatred’ in the States. She brought his piece to a conclusion with the question “Where is all this coming from”. His reply “From the top”. She turned back to the camera, delighted with the result and smirked ”I’ll leave you with that thought”. It’s no wonder Sopel is so appalling, it’s being fed to him and he has no sense, or wish, to see beyond his nose.

            The people scored a victory over the Globalists not just in Brazil but also in German state of Hesse, where the AfD got 13% of the vote , an increase of over 9% from the previous election.. so even in Hesse ,one of the wealthest areas of Germany , the people are waking up to the fact that mass migration is a real threat to their way of life. The AfD is now represented in all sixteen German state governments. The BBC , in common with most other media outlets, are focusing on the increase in support for the hard left Greens and downplaying the increase in AfD support. But I bet that political analysts in Germany are realising that another General election in Germany will result in another substantial increase in AfD support . The 16% that that are now polling nationwide would give them a further forty plus seats in Parliament. If Germany can’t find a stable coalition now without the inclusion of the AfD , it certainly won’t when they are 50% stronger. The message to the Globalist elite is clear right across the world , either include ‘populist’ parties in Government and bend to the will of the people or be swept from power.

              The inclusion of the AfD in a conservative alliance with the CDU would be logical -or it would have been with the CDU of twenty years ago.
              The CDU has demonized the AfD to such an extent ,however, it is difficult to see this happening. The German MSM, who see the AfD as ‘far-right/neo-Nazi’ will see to this as well. Under Merkel the CDU has also moved way over to the left, where it would be much happier to ally itself with the explicitly anti-German Greens.
              There are many ladies – Merkel clones- waiting in the wings to take over and continue her policies. There is one male contender, Jens Spahn. More about him later.

    I sense a fine day for us to witness all the BBC’s ingrained attitudes toward public spending.

    Every pound spent by the way is inherently “good” – only perhaps excluding defence.

    All public spending is classed as “investment” – no matter whether it produces any return or not.

    And if only the Chancellor wasn’t so mean and would simply ‘loosen the purse strings’ then we could happily borrow and tax the tech giants a bit more and off we’d skip toward utopia.

    Hmmm… I wonder which potential Chancellor of which opposition party holds all the same muddled ideas – made so plausible day in day out by the BBC – and will waste no time at all popping up on a BBC microphone to echo all the above?

        Avi Yemini : “So why does the BBC website say 400 ?”

        SmugMan “All we have done today is reported factually and accurately”

        Avi ‘Why does the BBC use the smer label far-right ?’
        SmugMan ‘I don’t I was at his first trial for hooliganism, I have no opinion on what other BBC say, judge us on what we report’
        He then steps behind a line of big black BBC plainclothes security guys
        (That licence payers paid for)
        They ask Avi to step back
        Avi finishes and the crowd cheer him.

        I previously explained the stealth edits the BBC did
        So the page did say 400 , then hundreds ..and then finished at 1,000

          Interesting on the counting front . Last Friday I was on a bus stuck in a traffic jam in eastern Londonistan . There was a crowd of men on the pavement – then I realised they were all dressed in that Afgee get up which so fits in with the British Way Of Life .

          The mosque they were attending is a converted bookies –

          I write this because on the strength of the deceit shown by the BBC producer in the video ( such a character of the Islington class ) if he saw this group – which I’d say was 300 he’d call it a few dozen .

      Wouldn’t it be a refreshing change if the lying, laughingly called mainstream news providers said something positive about an election that was won by normal; ie. not leftwing; candidates. I suppose hell will freeze over before that happens.

    This article is worth reading as it offers a much broader view of the Pittsburgh massacre than that offered by the BBC which is intent on pinning the blame on Trump – despite the killer not being a Trump fan.
    It points the finger at the liberal multiculturalists and those on the extreme left and right, including those in Muslim communities, who have either been turning a blind eye to anti-semitism for years or actively pursuing it.
    The BBC’s constant linking of Trump rhetoric to the shooting is typical of the the cheap political point scoring that Brendan O’Neill’s thoughtful piece highlights.

      Thanks Ed, this is an importantly article by one of the few good guys still with some courage.
      Basically he is saying that Trump fires up his base to comment such evil, so had the bloke been a Trump supporter, Trump would be in the dock.
      It also says that a Trump hater would similarly be able to balme Trump, because-well-he has good reason to be angry at Trump. So Trump YET AGAIN is put in the dock. So he`s guilty no matter WHO does the killing. Both nutjob extremes can continue to do their worst, knowing that the liberal media will absolve the murderers.
      Trump to blame at all times,Islam never called to account-and the media that fan this tripe and eveil somehow are never asked to explain THEIR role in this heinous anti-Semitism that long predated November 2016.
      Well done Brendan for making it so clear, thanks Ed for the teaching.

    I hear on Toady this morning that the police are handing over responsibility for monitoring “Far Right Groups” to MI5. That’s reassuring. I hope they deal with the returning jihadists ‘Veterans Association’ with equally as much zeal.
    Problem is for me, what constitutes a, “Far Right Group”? On the basis of our far left Marxist state broadcasters prolific references, it will be anyone they describe as, “Far Right”. This could mean that, if visiting the UK, any member of the German FfD party would be subject to investigation and monitoring. If not, why not? Hang on, only this morning our own, “another beauty” referred to the new Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, as being “Far Right”. I guess that means that MI5 will be monitoring any Brazilian visiting the UK who voted for Bolsonaro. Perhaps the Home Office, on the recommendation of MI5 will call for the banning of Bolsonaro if he even suggests he will visit the UK. You can ponder on other similar scenarios. But on a more serious note, the decision to give MI5 the responsibility shows leadership and foresight. It’s time the State came to grips with such issues as Far Right concert bombings, car rammings at Parliament, bombings (and potential), beheadings, terror attacks such as random stabbings of the public. I’ll sleep better at night knowing MI5 will be keeping an eye on the Far Right.
    Sorry, what’s that you say? The terror attacks are carried out by islamicists? How ever could I get that so horribly wrong…………..

      MI5 officers have seen many terrorist incidents involving “Far Right Groups” on the BBC. This is the reason for all this concern about “Far Right” terrorism and mass killings.

      After watching a typical BBC Drama based on political correct reality, many Police officers and Politicians are very concerned about issues such as “Far Right Groups” using atomic bombs to terrorise the elite in London, car rammings at Parliament using Land Rovers, elderly white people with bayonets shouting at the elite “they don’t like it up them”, etc.

      You must understand that the upper class white elitists live in “Gated Communities“, protected by security guards and internal borders, to keep all those immigrants, refuges and terrorists out. They only worry about the white working class people on the other side of the walled off community they live in. But we, the proletariat cant afford to protect ourselves from all these immigrants. So we worry about borders much more than they do.

      For the BBC, the border is fenced off BBC property, and the border guards are the BBC security guards. In fact the hypocrisy concerning BBC opinion about “free movement” is even more ridiculous, as BBC staff need to carry or pin on a BBC security pass, they need passwords like “Orwellian” to get around BBC property, and they need to press in a pin number like “1984” to get into Lord Hall’s room.

      So these morons live in a twenty four hour world of borders and heavy security, yet worry about having to use a passport to get into France, twice a year.

    If Corbyn gets in at the next election (which is quite possible given the brino mess May is making out of the ‘negotiations’) then these two things are very possible.
    Argentine will take the Falklands and Spain will take Gibraltar.
    Corbyn, being a full blown pacifist, will do absolutely nothing about either situation.

    Spain and Argentina must be rubbing their hands in anticipation of May ruining the Conservative’s chances of being re-elected and Corbyn getting into power.

      Just something personal that I noticed as to how the media try to manipulate our population!

      I “occasionally” (flutter eyelashes ) frequent the online Daily Express. A few weeks back they were running a headline on the NGO’s helping economic migrants from Libya et al to dock in Spain. They had a few photos of the boats.

      One of them showed, as per normal, young virile male passengers, dressed mostly in state of the art puffa jackets in gaudy colours, leaning on the gunwales of their boat, happy smiling faces … “we’ve made it guys”.

      I’m not saying that my post in the comments section (“they just look as if they are passengers on a Med cruise”) was the reason, but the next time I checked .. and I did it purposely ‘cos I was gobsmacked that they had included that photo … the specific photo in question had been replaced with one showing a muslim woman (hijab) helping a very young child into the arms of a welcoming white woman “rescuer”.

      I was gobsmacked at the blatant manipulation when they had been “found out”. I had to scroll down the headline several times as I felt my eyes must be deceiving me.

    More corrective education for the kids as the beeb is excited about “The A List: The BBC teen drama taking on Netflix”.

    Oddly their own promotional blurb sounds quite desperate — it speaks of trying to keep hold of teen audiences and all but admits that they’re ripping off a very successful Netflix formula in order to not lose ground.

    But true to form the trailer confirms that the diversity nob is turned to 11: non-binary multi-ethnic teenage fumblings are what the beeb have decided British kids need more of. It all makes your average sofa advert look blandly monocultural and heterosexual.

    No surprise that the villain of the show appears to be Amber, the blonde girl of Nordic-looking stock. There’s plenty of material there for the Guardian reviewers to pontificate over of the white, far-right Donald Yaxley-Brexit variety as we’re told “she’s dangerous… she gets inside peoples heads, and then they’re not themselves any more…”

      As a lifelong Leicester City Fan – attended first match in 1965 – and and someone who YAB would probably describe as a white nativist, this is what I have to say:
      Leicester City FC went through many hard times before he bought the club and ensured it would never, under his ownership, be faced with the threat of extinction again. We loved him for that.
      He gave jobs to hundreds of people who work behind the scenes. We loved him for that.
      He was a man of immense generosity. He donated millions of pounds to the Leicester Royal Infirmary, paid for fans to go to Belgium to support the sister club, treated the fans to food and drink. We loved him for that and I am sure he did a lot more than what we know about because he was a man of modesty and we loved him for that.
      He was clearly a man of principle as shown by the exemplary way with which he dealt with the embarrassment and shame certain players brought upon the club by their behaviour on a trip to Thailand. Yet, he still had it in his heart to employ Nigel Pearson as the manager of the Belgian sister club and Nigel Pearson was clearly happy to work for the man again. We loved him for that.
      Under his ownership and guidance, he brought us the unthinkable football prize and put us onto the world stage. We loved him for that.
      If you had your way, people like Vichai would never be allowed to accumulate to kind of wealth he did because of your politics of envy and hatred.
      YAB, what do you have to say about that?

    The BBC have been headlining all morning with Remainer Hammond’s Project Fear statement that he would have to have a different budget [ie ala Osborne’s fantasy ’emergency budget’ type budget to save us from Brexit] in the event of a no-deal. Now just heard the BBC tell us that No10 says the budget is safe and funded whatever…the BBC moves rapidly and quietly on…as it does in its web report…..mentioning the issue in passing almost….in fact it goes on reporting his statement almost as if No10 hadn’t spoken.

    No idea from the BBC that this is yet another major slapdown and rebuke for Hammond who seems more than ready to push Project Fear on behalf of the EU…still not sure why May hasn’t given him the push long ago. Clearly there are still large cracks in the government Brexit front but somehow, when it is a Remainer putting a spanner in the works, the BBC says very little. Contrast when Boris or JRM says something and it is like all hell has been let loose as the BBC howls about splits in the Tory ranks caused by disruptive Brexit hardliners and extremists who create fury amongst their colleagues as they betray May and destabilise her and the negotiations…when in fact all they do is point out what is being offered as a deal isn’t Brexit.

    I have yet to hear the BBC point out to Remainers when they claim that Brexit is a mess that that is their fault…they have forced May to compromise [as a Remainer herself probably didn’t have to force her too hard] in order to please the 48% and the result is no one is pleased and Brexit is a dog’s dinner that puts us completely at the mercy of the EU which now wants to control our taxes and decide who gets to vote.

    For a really good laugh, watch the video that accompanies the Merkel story on the bbc website. It concludes that for Merkel, being Chancellor was ‘not fun, but a deeply-felt duty’.
    What we are not told is that this deeply felt duty really looks much more like a bequest from one Erich Honecker, former boss of the German Democratic Republic, Merkel’s spiritual home. Assignment, given the fall of the Wall: to destroy Germany.
    Good progress has been made with this. The nation’s social fabric has been badly damaged. Severe economic damage will soon become apparent too. The political system is fragmenting, as many smaller parties emerge. Border control depends on the goodwill of one Erdogan, who was paid 6 billion Euros for the privilige. The ‘refugee/migrant’ flood will nevertheless continue.
    Give her time. She will be Chancellor until 2021. She has to ensure that her likely successor, Annegret Kramp Karrenbauer, is ready to take over the helm. And KK will have been nurtured by then, to be the complete Merkel clone in every respect. Merkel recently received a solid 10 minute+ session of applause, strongly reminiscent of the good, old Honecker days. I understand that today was KK’s turn, while -trumpets ‘Die Welt’- her competitor, Jens Spahn received none. Any guesses as to which way the German MSM will go?

        I Take it you are against the death penalty for crimes with circumstances like these . Civilised human beings would not do these things – therefore I think my comment it quite moderate compared to what I would really write about these cases . And yes – they’d make good landfill

        I don’t know why some comments were deleted and didn’t look at the ‘deleted’ boxes on the site .

        You’ll noticed I called them ‘Pakistanis ‘ and not ‘pakis’ even though in my bit of Londonistan I grew up where ‘paki’ wasn’t a term of abuse . I suppose it’s the same as the term ‘brit’ which I find offensive and I believe originates fromRepublic Terrorists
        But to save objection I didn’t use it and won’t .

        As for law and order – I tend to go for the classical criminological approach as opposed to due process which is used to get the guilty off.

        Looking at The Guardian Website – it allocates the same level of importance to this horror as it does to the news that The Apple IPad Pro won’t have a ‘home ‘ button – which speaks for itself without further harsh words from me.

        As for celebrating the budget – not me until the public debt is reduced to a reasonable level and we get a fairer welfare state – and it goes without saying that I’d sell off the BBC on the condition that the title was extinguished or changed to a title which more accurately reflects the reality of its multicultural socialist propaganda .

          Fed, “I Take it you are against the death penalty for crimes with circumstances like these.”

          Yes – another reason why some Conservatives probably would not want me to join the Party and others would describe me as ‘a wet’. I believe in a chance for redemption for everyone. (Not that I’m sure the present prison structures, programmes and Human Rights legislation will fully afford it.)

          Talk of landfill brings uncomfortably to mind pictures of ‘other prisons’ from long ago. There are ‘some (perhaps many) people’ out there who would probably like to put thee and me into landfill merely for being on this site and criticising the BBC and its ‘values’.

          If we go further and use that sort of language from the death camps, then not only does it bring this web-site into disrepute it tars all who post here with the same brush. I do not like that and do not approve.

          In addition, the BBC have lately (very lately) started to realise their complicity and that of others of the social liberal, Liberal and Left in the inaction of policing and the cover-up of those awful events from towns and cities around the UK.

          That could all be lost in a welter of cross-accusation from (for want of a better collective term) the Alt-Left against us. The opportunity for real reform and an end to the massive institutional and institutionalised abuse of young people might be lost.

          Finally, many on this site are supporters of Tommy Robinson. Others may not be such fervent supporters but feel that he has been harshly or wrongly treated under the law.

          If you think for a minute, you might realise that intemperate language here – on any subject – might harm his cause.

            We differ – I don’t care if these characters can reform – it’s justice for the victims I am concerned about – as well as them knowing that they will never see them again after the death penalty .

            Juxtaposing killing these animals with death camps doesn’t make it . It’s judicial killing – not the mass execution of at least 6 million Jews , Roma’s , catholic’s , Freemasons , gays , Russian pows , German objectors to nazism. Poles and many others the national socialists just wanted to ‘go East’ .

            I would also refuse your view that the BBC had started to realise their inaction on policing . I used to do the occasional crime update here but got a bit of criticism for going off message on the biased bbc subject so I stopped .

            The shootings and stabbing s in my borough go unreported by the BBC – unless – of course – one dies – which I estimate in my borough is every 3 weeks . Only the local paper reports them .

            Certain deaths / crimes are chosen to be symbols of something the bubble cares about – but the rest? They don’t give a damn . The police have been denatured for fear of racial allegations and kids ( mainly black) pay the price in primitive ‘dissing’ nonsense .

            As for causing harm to the TR cause – the state and MSM have enough weapons to undermine him and that cause without worrying about whether I believe in using capital punishment for the sort of animals I am talking about here – particularly since MSM continues to play each trial outcome down because a helicopter had crashed or an ex footballer has had a heart attack .

              Fed, we differ but only in language used perhaps. Equality under the law with justice under the law for everyone, I’m sure we would agree on. It is a scandal that both have been denied to those girls (and any boys) abused by those men (and on occasion women) in various places around the UK.

              But to suggest ‘piling up bodies for landfill’ is not good language to be used here in my view and certainly does not meet your own criteria “just a friendly reminder – reasonable language please … ” at the top of the page!

              By the way, I am sensitive to the situation in the capital, too.

                Interesting exchange – the sort noticeably missing from the MSM these days.

                Interesting comment on the use of “Pakis”. As “Paki” is obviously an abbreviation of “Pakistani”, I don’t see a lot to object to, as distinct from labels which are clearly intended to be offensive. We all know what they are, although I think the argument that black people can call themselves such-and-such but white people can’t is just plain absurd. Nobody else would get away with a lame argument like that.

                I think that comments which could be linked to the Holocaust are getting into dangerous territory. It has a special status, rightly or wrongly. But I have a big “HOWEVER” – we should not agree to discuss current affairs on terms dictated by the BBC and the rest of the Left. That happens too much already.

                I’m firmly in the “sticks and stones” camp. Say the wrong thing and you argue it out or suffer the consequences socially/financially. The law should not be involved. (Can I say “camp”?)

          I don’t think you crossed the line, Fed. To talk about the severity of punishments is something different from naming somebody you would like killed. I have had run ins on this site with people who call for the execution of certain individuals or certain groups of people eg asylum seekers. Now much as I may share the loathing of these people it I do not want them shot lynched or otherwise harmed.
          If, however, they are put on trial, in a court of law and found guilty of a serious crime then it becomes a different matter.
          As for the death penalty, my opinion is that I would like it introduced for murder, rape, treason and for parking on bus stops.
          It’s a tricky subject.

    This is from the Mail which is drawing closer to the BBC on its anti Trump stance
    ‘Jews in Pittsburgh say Trump is NOT WELCOME to visit the synagogue where 11 people were shot and killed by anti-Semite until President denounces white nationalism’
    …..
    ‘Trump is accused by the group of ‘deliberately undermining] the safety of people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities.’

    ————————
    Now this flies against reality. Trump has a son in law who is a Jew, his daughter has converted. Trump has backed Israel against Islamic enemies more than any US President.
    I have seen the same with the British Board of Jewish Deputies who condemned Tommy Robinson for his anti Moslem stance.

      As for the “Jewish Leaders” bit?
      Well we know that the Jewish people were in the crowd, getting healed by Jesus, whereas their self selecting chosen families of leaders conspired to get Him crucified using the Roman law.
      A BIG difference between “Leaders” in 2018 and “People”…Choudhary and Welby are “leaders”-Cliff and Hisi Ali are “people”…and we follow and listen to our people, not house trained cucks who are scared of the BBC or CNN, as opposed to fearing the demos.
      These Pittsburg Jews probablly won`t forgive Trump for mentioning “Jerusalem” in polite company. These people will not back Israel, but will suck up to Jew baiters for their quiet life. For now anyway, history shows that they`ll go the way of all those who stand for nothing.
      Trump has made cowards of most of the elite we might once have respected like Janet Daley and Hartley Brewer.

      I think you will find differing political stances across the religious divides in Judaism if American Judaism is anything like that in the UK. That might result in the hostility that the D.Mail describes. OTOH, the new Editor might be taking the paper on a liberal crusading trip.

    I reported earlier about a case that was appealed to the European Court of Human Rights. Justifiably, many people are aghast at the decision in favour of the appellant to the ECHR (from the Austrian court) who sought (and succeeded) to confirm the Austrian court’s decision. The upshot is, to make reference to Muhammad’s marriage to a girl of 6 which was consummated at her age 9 and to condemn same is a hate crime.

    Perhaps this is the case which, ‘breaks the camel’s back’. I hope so. It’s time the ECHR was cut down to size or abolished altogether. It is shocking in its attempt to appease muslims and is a blatant attack upon what remains of free speech.
    We are offered numerous links to petitions here and I urge everyone to sign the petition to reverse the judgement. The link is contained in the body of the text.
