The Far Left BBC staff are in full anti Trump cry as the American Midterms arrive . They never seem to have been so important and never has so much bias been directed at a President – non politician – by so many. The main stream media will be desperate to write the epitaph for what they call ‘populism ‘ but others would call democracy . I really hope they are unable to do that but let’s see….

This story will last for a long time.
A sick joke where a model of Grenfell with images of victims has been burned amid laughter by racists, islamophobes, and on Twitter someone added Brexiteers.
Not at all nice and it is occupying the attention of the Met and the crime conscious mayor.
Wait until it hits the BBC.

And, lo….
Certainly dire taste, but what is the BBC on about, ‘Group’? It doesn’t help they port the term to describe those offended. Bizarre.
Scotland Yard is on the case!
You’d think that they would be heading for the knife crime scenes.
Taffman
Believe it or not, Sky news has just shown the “scene of the crime” live on TV. Oh horror! A patch of burnt grass where Grenfell was burnt in effigy. BBC news even put the pyrotechnic attrocity before the stabbing of a 16 year old boy.
I trust, then, that those distinguished residents of Bradford who cheered when the (real, not cardboard) towers came down will also be rounded up and arrested?
(And BTW, the BBC should know that you can’t have an effigy of a building.)
Anne
And, of course, the fragrant Allblah Brown who stated that the Americans “had it coming” to them on an infamous Question Time should be considered for arrest. If burning a cardboard box is a crime against humanity, then endorsing terrorism and “victim blaming” must be high on Thought Plod’s priority list.
I’m sure the burning effigies of President Trump in Far Lefty bits of Blighty will receive similar levels of outrage . Maybe it’s time that celebrating the burning of human beings got the “serious face” treatment from the bubble – particularly the collateral damage caused by low lifes with incendiary devices called fireworks …..
Boo hiss …
So Al Beeb tells us “More foreign nationals living abroad will be able to join the armed forces, the government is to announce.” This is all because of Crapita’s recruiting balls up.
Why oh why don’t they increase the regiments with the most VCs? “The Bravest of the Brave”, re form some of the Gurkha Regiments that sucessive government have cut !
Simples.

The BBC working hard to justify 2 footballers’ reasons for NOT wearing a poppy.
For sure, it is a matter of personal choice whether you show support for those who gave so much when fighting fascism in Europe. I suspect we all get that. There is no point in fighting tyranny then imposing our own political judgements on others.
But it troubles me how the BBC hypocritically accepts the two players reasoning as if promoting their arguments.
Matic’s explains that as a 12 year old Serb he was the victim of a bombing attack from the West. Those of us with long memories will recall how the BBC backed the west’s onslaught against the Serbs to protect the Muslim enclaves.
James McClean was abused by fans for not wearing a poppy when playing for Stoke. The BBC helpfully guesses McClean’s reasoning for not wearing a poppy. “McClean was born in Derry, where in 1972 British soldiers shot dead 13 civilian protestors during ‘Bloody Sunday’. A 14th person died later in hospital.”
Ah yes, so not some nationalistic hatred of the English then? And I don’t know McClean’s views on anything, any more than the BBC does.
But here’s a thought. The poppy isn’t about soldiers participating in two individual events in the last 100 years. Its about those who made sacrifices fighting fascists in Europe when just about every other country in Europe had knuckled under.
Presumably McClean takes his pay in Euros to having to currency with HM The Queens image on it . If he is as much of a Fenian as he claims I’m surprised he breaths British air and lives of English money . Probably a bit on the thick side . At least his career is coming to an end …
I respect his right to choose, as long as he respects mine to celebrate the death of the terrorist Mcguiness and look forward to having a party when Adams shakes hands with Big D in Hell.
James McLean is from the Creggan in Derry, a staunchly republican area of that city and chose to play international football for Eire rather than the country of his birth. He has declared a fondness for pro-IRA songs and the musings of its ‘martyrs’. He hates the British, it’s as simple as that, as he has been indoctrinated from birth by the republican ‘fireside fusiliers’ who romanticize the cowardice of terrorists between walking their greyhounds and visiting the bookies.
A moron who needs no excuse to claim persecution whilst pissing all over the poppy at every opportunity. The bBBC do not need to provide him with any explanation for him doing this, but we expect no less. His bigotry is inbred, the republican principles that his limited mindset has been fed and allows him sees nothing wrong in the continued biting of the hand that feeds him. A trait shared by so many within our society now and proof of a treacherous and vindictive character.
Interestingly, the loathsome bBBC NI made no mention of his claim to be ‘a proud Fenian”, an inflammatory and antagonistic piece of sectarian baiting in this part of the UK, and concentrated instead of course on the FAs disapproval of his tweets and the abuse that he received, contempt that he deserves.
Yes and no Scribbler. The poppy was initially a symbol of WW1 remembrance with little or no fascist connection. That arose as a direct result of WW1 experiences – unless you believe all Germans to be inherently fascist, though much the same could be said of the French.
The whole sacrifice theme is difficult to justify, most especially when it is equally difficult to define what the sacrifice was for. Some might say the ‘entente cordiale’ was engineered by the then Prince of Wales to ease access to his Parisian mistresses, but its end effect was to disrupt old and reliable alliances, in place since long before Waterloo.
The result was what many British front line troops regarded as trenches facing the wrong way – but don’t expect Dan Snow to investigate the suggestion.
Would someone remind Matic that nearly 900,000 British Servicemen died in the 1914-18 war to defend Serbia. Serbia started the war by the Sarajevo murders. We came in to support France with whom we had treaties who were supporting Russia who joined the war to protect Serbia. Ungrateful git.

So are the Brexiteer MPs going to scurry off on recess tomorrow or are any of them going to stand and fight? Rhetorical question.
Gerard gives us a taster of the proposed Withdrawal Agreement.
Penultimate para seems pertinent.

Rob is getting excited.
Still doesn’t explain the lack of interest on anyone’s activities elsewhere.

Just a handful of UKIP Mps and a very likely hung Parliament could make one hell of a difference.
Vote or support UKIP.
They are the only party that really want to Leave the EU.
The rest are a bunch of ‘pretenders’.
I would have to disagree with you on that. The only party that steadfastly opposes the Islamification of the UK is For Britain. Anne-Marie Waters has more balls than the collective UKIP male membership – which is a sad reflection on the UK male, let alone the UKIP male when you consider the fact she is Irish.
kingkp
I don’t disagree but the topic under discussion was getting Great Britain and NI out of the EU ?
sure Mr Taffman. To be honest I have stopped following the entire Brexit issue a while back. My view is we ain’t leaving. Just ask yourself one question…why do the politicians never talk about the military? The politicians have been conducting uninterrupted discussions with the EU on integrating the UK military forces in to the EU army/navy/air force. Why do our Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers have french jets on them? The point is there will be no Brexit. I voted leave. Believe me , I got over this a long time ago. The bigger issue by far is the Islamification of the UK. Leaving or staying in the EU is becoming almost irrelevant in comparison. The East Europeans and the Italians will turn it around or they will form the Eastern EU. maybe the latter. Either way the EU really does not worry me.
I’m trying to think what crime the fireworks Grenfell tower were committed . I suppose there might be something for putting the film on the public internet but can’t think of anything else .
Interesting that this story preceded one on a kid stabbed to death at the weekend showing how warped the C4 editorial judgement is .
Doh it shows a lack of respect
.. cos relatives who people who had died in the fire might turn on the TV , and it bring back memories.
Is that illegal ? Yes under the law against mocking the pseudo-liberals Virtue Signalling
ah it’s only someones home fire where someones puts 2 cardboard boxes on the fire
.. It wouldn’t have gone further unless the media had made a fuss
Ah whole thing was over in 2 minutes
someone there shouts, “this bad taste”
The boxes half half a dozen cut out faces stuck on to the wndows
.. “oh look he’s burning..should have paid his rent “
The 10m high Boris ewffigy burnt in Essex
Search Youtube in : Trump effigy
and there are dozens of them
It shows you how juvenilised our society has become and why I believe the UK is doomed. I keep on saying it and I wish it weren’t so, but there are simply too many imbeciles with the vote to turn it around.
Kingkp. Agreed. It’s the kidult society that have been raised with kid gloves and bubble wrapped who throw a tantrum when things don’t go their way.
I’m concerned that the views and opinions of just ONE person can create havoc. ONE person didn’t like what William Sitwell wrote in a magazine and he left his job; ONE person created headlines for months, and court cases ensued because he couldn’t get a cake iced to his liking.
Time and again we’re hearing that companies, airlines, supermarkets, department stores, et al, are all changing tac and policy simply because ONE person has been offended by a product/behaviour, then plasters it all over soshul meeja. What the hell is going on in this country ?
Freedom of speech, humour, and common sense has all eroded since the advent of social media. Its reported that youngsters are turning away from drink, and even fashion has undergone an overhaul with the current look being that of a Stepford Wife. Are we slowly being brainwashed, and unconsciously becoming Islamified ?
Get Ch4 to run the numbers and that ONE person tells the media what the country is thinking.
Apparently.
I don’t believe that any European country is “doomed”, not even Sweden. I don’t see how one or two European countries could be taken over and survive for long. It simply wouldn’t work. The pressure on those that remain would be too high.
I do believe, however, that a country can be heading down a path which will result in widespread violence.
The “problems” we face are determined but, let’s face it, not very bright.
Stew,
What about the Union Flag that was burned on the bonfire at the family firework display run by a rather indignant parish council in Thorner near Leeds. No mention of that on the bBBC?
Interestingly a Leave majority constituency, Elmet and Rothwell I think, with a Remain Conservative MP, Alec Shelbrooke.
@Rich two wrongs don’t make a right
Thorner looks like a stupid mistake of putting a flag pole and Union Jack on top as you do on a sandcastle.
Rather than a deliberate joke.
Fair enough Stew, but someone had to climb up that bonfire with a flag in their hand to make that stupid mistake.
Not an easy thing to do if I remember rightly. Very, very inconsiderate.
Looks like hate crime to me.
Someone report them to the police.
I heard a report that Theresa May has commented that burning the Grenfell Tower effigy is unacceptable.
No similar comments made regarding Boris or Donald though?
Is it not a fact that a number of the people who were in there shouldn’t have been and thus might still be alive today?
It is my belief that far more died but that it is being kept quiet by the authorities.
Yes of course it is absolutely horrible that people died in such circumstances, including children.
However, why is there no investigation into how so many illegals came to be subletting there and why no investigation into just how many more illegals there are living like this?
Unbelievably this is the first item on headline news!
BBC1 7:30pm tune to West edition to see
” She was Stephen – and now she’s Steffi: one woman’s transgender journey told through the eyes of her family”
London
– how drill music – criticised for inciting youth violence – is helping kids at risk.
West Midlands and Yorkshire, and Northeast edition concentrate entirely on Armistice stories
other editions have just 1 of their 3 stories on this
Hardly a peep on Al Beeb about the record stabbings in Londonistan? You’d thing they would run a Panorama investigation on it, “Black Lives Matter”?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they blamed TR for the rise in knife crime in their upcoming hit job on him.
taffman
Black Lies Matter? Well, yes they do but not to the British Brainwashing Corporation.
BBC 2’s Made in Great Britain is a strange mixture isn’t it? At one level we are given an insight into various technologies but through the lens of Arts and Crafts Socialism as seen by members of the top-ranking ‘identity groups’.
It is hard to believe that they can all be so naïve as they move from hand-crafting an item to using machinery yet can’t make the connection that the lot of the ‘poor, down-trodden’ workers improved because of mechanisation not Socialism or workers’ activism. The episode on chocolate conveniently missed out the fact that cocoa production increased enormously, a rare exotic bean, hand-worked was ever likely to produce a box of chocolates that cost more than the worker’s weekly wage. Until the price of the bean itself fell that would always be the case.
Another theme they keep playing is the ‘gender pay-gap’, taking no account at all of the sheer physicality of the mens’ jobs or that they could be the sole wage-earner for a large family.
Both episodes close out with the cosy BBC-thought that steel and chocolate making is still carried out in their ‘home towns’. That’s a bit like filming two lesbians kicking a tin can around the ruins of Wembly stadium and claiming that it is still the home of football.
With James McLean and Neil Lennon both in football news from Northern Ireland in the past couple of days it was nice to see some more positive news about the game on the bBBC NI webshite.
A firm in Newry, Co Down, STATSports, are world leaders in player performance tracking devices used in training sessions by teams such as Manchester United and the Ireland rugby team. They have a deal with the US Soccer Federation that could be worth more than £1 billion apparently. 237 new jobs soon as well. Despite Brexit?
Anyway they’ve signed a big new deal with the Chinese FA equivalent. The stock photo used by the bBBC?
That’s right, a WOMEN’s football team training session of course.
FFS.
That actually made me laugh, they’re getting more like Viz every day
Apologies if someone’s already posted this but Jeff Taylor’s video – 7 minutes long – has caused me to feel anger and fear in equal measure.
If what he says is true and Mrs May has actually betrayed our country then the Remainers will think it’s game over.
My question is, for us Leavers, how do we overturn this betrayal and how do we punish the traitors:
John in Cheshire. You are labouring under the misapprehension that you live in a democracy. You don’t. Your vote and mine are irrelevant. This has been obvious from the start. The only way you and I can change this is by voting for a party like For Britain. That sounds paradoxical of course, because in effect the FPTP system ensures we don’t have real democracy but ….Any other vote is a vote for the globalists. The whole Brexit process is a farce. But hey , don’t get stressed about it. The eastern Europeans and the Italians will sort this out. I believe there will be a real drive from these governments that will ultimately lead to a drastic change within the EU. These dimwits who control us, don’t understand the dynamics. They think that by keeping us in the EU they will succeed. But they are missing the bigger picture. The EU will either change dramatically or split. And then we have the choice as individuals. If our government fails to honour the mandate, leave and live in the East. This is Europe’s future. Poland’s GDP has been growing by 4pc year on year for 25 years. Germany and France are fcked because of immigration.. The future is the East.
KKingkp
It’s the per capita GDP that matters.
Turkey 14,000 USD, Poland 15,000 USD, UK 40,000USD,
Switzerland 80,000 USD.
We are subsidising Poland with our taxes through the EU pipeline and solving their unemploymemt problems by allowing them to transfer their excess labour to the UK in their millions and over an above that is the cash that Poles transfer privately back to Poland to the detriment of Britain as it would otherwise boost our economy if it were spent here.
Strange how well Switzerland does outside the EU and is not doomed to chaos by “populism” in the form of referenda.
For what it’s worth …
BBC please note.
Is it possible that the EU will totally reject May’s offer?
They refused to accept any concessions for Cameron.
If the EU now conceded any small advantage to Britain, all other EU members would want the same.
Ironically, the EU could be the driving force for the Brexit that was democratically voted for back in 2016.
Or perhaps the EU will implode next year?
Never fear, the UN is here, rapping away.
The bbc will be swooning. Again.
And likely avoiding looking at who the UN doesn’t like looking at in their own ranks.
Professional courtesy.
yesterday LBC were laughing about burning effigies
.. One guy said he’d burn “Tommy Robinson. And it wouldn’t be an effigy.”
Like many ‘news’ topics, there seems to be acceptable and acceptable outrage for the precise same thing… depending on how supposed impartial media feel about the targets.
acceptable and unacceptable
another
Just watched Would I lie to to You at a friend’s on BBC iPlayer. It had a black guest called Nasty who was obviously a current or ex gang member. The BBC panel players couldn’t do fawn over him enough.
Meanwhile, London’s stab toll continues to rise.
People of colour are so entertaining.
BBC Dr who ….. women walks out of flat and camera stays on poster on wall showing Islam symbol ….. no need to blink, camera stayed so you wont forget.
Yes Mark-Perhaps in a later episode we may see our Dr Who visiting
Asia Bibi in Pakistan. But maybe not. They would possibly have
to show the “Religion of Peace” in a different light. Could the
token whitey male in the programme have his baby in Pakistan?
Now that’s an interesting question.
Jon Sopel on BBC News at 10 has just said whist reporting on the US midterms – “We were here two years ago and it didn’t work out so well”. Obviously he is upset that Donald Trump won. Total political bias – how does this continue to happen? Why are the BBC not shut down?
End of rant!
JG,
The BBC is a key part of the liberal left / Globalist elite power structure along with most of the MSM and the Social Medua companies , the judiciary, the educational establishment and all politicians but the ‘populists’ . This elite have all the power , they can put people in prison eg Tommy Robinson, they can run propaganda 24/7 right across the world and persuade or con , ordinary folks into voting for them. They can overturn the results of referenda , they can undermine a President of the USA. Their power is immense. The only thing that ordinary folks have with which to fight back is their votes and these are increasingly being ignored or devalued by the Global elite.
I find it remarkable that in spite of all this power the ordinary people can still win victories eg Salvini and Trump. But winning isolated victories does not mean winning the war. However, Globalists should note that the people are increasingly seeing through the media lies and realising that they are being duped. If they they go on to realise that their votes are worthless they will find other ways to take back control of their lives.
Awesome observation wasn’t it! My jaw just dropped when I heard him. Absolute 100% proof Sopel’s and by extension the beeb’s utter bias. Criminal.
Here…. I said I felt something was changing with the Guardian / London “right on” type rhetoric.
Here the Gardian spouts BBC right wing Pro brexit bias… seems like they are losing the momentum to overturn Brexit and lashing out at Auntie for not being a left wing campaign group… what they miss is that the left wing socialists are not Guardian readers…
https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/05/andrew-marr-arron-banks-bbc-brexit
There was a programme on bBBC2 tonight about human trafficking, a drama based on a real case where a Romanian girl named And was abducted on a London street in broad daylight and forced into prostitution, being moved around Ireland for 10 months before escaping her slavers/ abusers in Belfast. She was raped thousands of times during this period. An awful ordeal.
I didn’t watch it but I did read about it on the website today, where figures were shown that tell us last year’s total of 36 human trafficking rescues in NI was matched in just 6 months here so far this year. Obviously a very real and apparently growing form of crime and sexual exploitation.
But who was it that abducted Ana, who were the organised gang that prostituted their victims and forced them into sexual slavery? Where were they from?
I don’t know. I can only guess because the bBBC website article certainly didn’t tell me. Oh, hold on there’s a link to another article. They were Romanian.
I think we knew that already bBBC. Cowards.
Rumours are coming from the USA, President Trump is going to do well today ???
This could be good news for GB ?
Being a different time zone I scan al beeb . Is the news that another child was stabbed to death in Londonistan Monday night there? No
Is the news that 6 people have been arrested over a video of burning 2 boxes ? Lead story . I’m guessing the people who did it went to plod before being identified but we ll see .
So 5 dead in 6 days . Odds of winning lottery 1 in 14 million . Odds on being stabbed to death in London if black male and under say 30?
can someone explain what these people have done to get arrested or are we just making up law on the fly
“Public order offence”, I understand.
One of those subjective crimes wheeled out by the State to catch those of whom the State disapproves.
When idiots all over the north of England burnt effigies of Mrs Thatcher, following her death, the police weren’t interested. But when other idiots burnt an effigy of Grenfell Tower there was a big fuss.
The BBC hated Thatcher it seems. I bet that they hated it even more that she won a nice majority in 1987 against their efforts!
I bounced through Radio 5’s Wake Up To Money this morning.
How many stupid women does it take to make a ‘money’ programme?
Apparently three, plus ex-BBC reporter Sarah Pennells. Three women that like the sound of their own voice, that know ‘nowt about owt’ and produce enough hot air to fly Richard Branson across the Atlantic.
More box-ticked tottie.
I haven’t watched or listened to BBC for 3 days bu this morning early shift – Breakfast and R4
The bias is palpable…they don’t even bother to disguise it now and the quality of their science reporting is pathetic.. Even when interviewees like an American Senator disagree with their statements they just continue with the next negative one…
Interview top female executive and it seems all successful women now get asked – did you get paid less than your male counterparts..and even when the women in question don’t think it’s an issue – the BBC interviewers continue to make it one
The report on breast cancer and sleep is very poor science and actually doesn’t really mount to much except as an avenue for academics to promote themselves as they must do nowadays – no real fact check or challenge
And as for the burning Grenfell..others on the site have highlighted very personal desires to burn people..but rather than ignore a few somewhat tasteless people they turn them into criminals for the sake of PC..and the BBC will run and run with this
I just hope the Republicans win
I have made the decision not to listen to any media reports on the midterms, as I know it will all be with blue-tinted glasses on. And as a precaution have muted Jon and Katty on my Twitter feed for the duration.

Top news on BBCR4 at 0700
Half a dozen people have handed themselves in to Scotland Yard.
Their ‘crime’ appears to have been to burn a model of Grenfell Tower on their own bonfire in their own back garden.
The item of news immediately following this one. Another knife killing in London yesterday.
The BBC. Where the word ‘priority’ has no meaning but social justice warrior virtue-signalling certainly does.
‘Suspicion of committing a public order offence’.
The action in question seems clear. Yet neither the state police nor the state propaganda service appear to know, or feel inclined to confirm, whether or not an actual crime has been committed.
Now in the realms of outrage, allegation and mob justice. Again. The AG May end up with a busy Xmas.
Yes Sluff , I heard this also and immediately wondered how it was ok that, it was reported with glee yesterday, that a certain group would be burning an effigy of Boris Johnson on their bonfire.
Apparently buildings have feelings but people don’t!
Not only an effigy of Boris but he is holding the severed head of Theresa May.
It’s pictured on the BBC webpage.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-46103733
So it’s the same old “LEFTY/Lib causes are more equal than others.”
Remember Charlie Hebdo : free speech has to have the right to offend otherwise, that is used as a shield to hide from scrutiny.
Like the way they try to prevent people criticising Islam.
Lewes seems nice.
If a bit Wicker Man.
Not clear how a private inanimate conflagration party is the end of days, but mob burning of named individuals is a hoot.
Maybe the BBC Double Standards Editor can explain?
Inflatable panic
In a similiar vein, was it just me who noticed the BBC go somewhat overboard in reporting the inflatable slide accident? People were “saddened” we were told meanwhile only one child was kept in hospital for any amount of time and then that child was released without significant injury. Of course in order to promote the sense of inflatable panic we get reminded of a couple of recent serious accidents. Then we have the BBC’s peculiar reasoning that parents would not feel comfortable allowing their children to play on such items unless authorities stepped in with a ban and safety review. Well, excuse me, but are parents not capable of keeping their children away from these things if they make that choice? Why must the BBC increasingly treat us as unthinking drones unable to act unless some clipboard waving authority does all our thinking for us?
Top of the ‘news’ email is another beauty.

Test of Trump as Americans go to the polls
US votes
Donald Trump’s name may not be on the ballot, but today’s US mid-term elections are set to deliver a crucial verdict on his presidency two years in. His Republican Party currently holds sway in both chambers of Congress – reinforcing his power – but all that could change.
The Democrats are tipped to fall short of winning the Senate but hope to claim the 20 or so seats they need to retake control of the House of Representatives. That will deliver the first cracks in Trump’s “aura of invincibility” and show he’s beatable, says BBC North America editor Jon Sopel.
But what if the Republicans defy the odds and hold on to both houses? Sopel says it’ll be total vindication for President Trump. “He will be the political master of all he surveys.”
Here’s all you need to know about the mid-terms and how to follow the results as they come in. And our very simple guide should answer everything you need to know.
***
‘All you need to know’, indeed. Jon seems to be keeping everything crossed, and is not afraid to say so. Which in media impartiality terms is true invincibility from being held to account.
Not the bbbc but the bbbc mindset…
A female divorce lawyer on Talk Radio’s Julia Hartley Brewer show this morning banging on about wimmins pension inequality trying to justify that, in the event of a divorce, consideration needs to be give to the fact that women tend to live longer than men. Therefore, this justifies the women getting a bigger share of the man’s pension.
So it’s not fair that a woman doesn’t necessarily have to work a day in her life, or could previously retire 5 years earlier.
Is it fair that a man gets to drop dead earlier and the woman who never worked gets to spend the pension he never saw?
She even suggested that, well it was better for the mans health to be able to work longer. Oh well thanks for the privilege!

Be interesting to see if they’ve committed any crime and whether they get charged or accept a caution . Whatever happens someone will get paid to release their names and addresses for the traditional The Mail , Thd Sun , The Mirror follow up. Waiting for the TR link.
I made the misjudgment or switching to BBBC Radio 4’s “PM” yesterday after 5pm.
The agenda driven bias is so blatant once one is aware of it.
An item about a “black” man who wasn’t quite black but had “black features” and both white Irish parents (or at least that’s what the mother told the “father”!). Was he “black enough” to be allowed to join a scheme for black people (therefore racist in my opinion)? Then an “actual” black man talking about perceived “shadeism”! The white black guy had special privileges apparently because he was a lighter shade of dark!
You couldn’t make it up.
Then to a nostalgic feature about the end of world war 1 turns into a woman talking about how Wimmin became more independent and men became more timid after the war.
Has the misfortune to tune into Radio 2 earlier to hear all about Chris Evans perfect life. He had just been to New York over the weekend competing in the marathon with some of his oh so wealthy, look at me viewers who bid for the opportunity for children in need last year.
He started wittering on about the USA and how it is governed differently to here in the UK, you could see quite quickly where this was leading. You guessed it, he is a BBC man after all so it was inevitably going to lead to a Trump bashing piece.
Sure as eggs are eggs, it appeared. He was gleefully relaying the story of how he loved looking at all the banners on the route and how funny some of them were. However, his particular favourite, which wont in any way surprise you , was a lady who had a inflatable Donald Trump with a sign attached saying “THUMP THE TRUMP”. He told us people were stopping running to , in his words, “FORM A QUE, TO THUMP THE TRUMP”. How pathetic are these people. Really. Virtue signalling whilst running a marathon has taken virtue signalling to a whole new level !!!
But hey, lets “thump the Trump ” …the nasty man who has presided over record employment, record black employment, record stock market levels, tax breaks for all, business booming, is HELL BENT on keeping THEIR county safe from terrorism and not presiding over any wars like their oh so dear saint barrack of obama. What a terrible terrible president hey !!!
But yet again the BBC couldnt resist a dig … pathetic … downright pathetic. Fingers crossed President Trump defies them again today and we see a almighty left meltdown.
Nice quote from Jordan Peterson:
“So many journalists are politician wannabes, but they’re not, so they are resentful about that and all they can do is view the world in political terms”
These idiots with their tasteless Grenfell Tower effigy have gifted the Left a propaganda weapon that they will use on the rest of us . This will be the stick that the social justice brigade will belabour the rest of us for weeks to come. Anyone care to take a bet how long it will be before it is linked to how nasty we have all become since Brexit?
Toady watch
Our Justin having a chat with a democratic mate about the prospect for his party . Then Sopel sounded a bit panicky about the prospect of mr trump winning.
Sopel does think, near end of Toady, the wimmin will bring it in for the Demon rats. Haven’t we heard that before somewhere?
Anyway, a total partisan, pro-Democrat performance from the beeb this time. Not even any pretense at any pretense at impartiality.
Fake,
I watched coverage of these midterms on bBBC, Sky and ITV at various stages throughout yesterday finishing with a bit of Newsnight last night.
Each of them was incredibly partisan, Sky perhaps even more so than the bBBC, yet none of them seemed to be telling me why the Democrats winning would be a good thing for the American people or us. It is just assumed that this is the case, that anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist moron and that we the UK audience have a vested interest and want this outcome. They really have completely lost the plot.
I’m giving all msm news coverage a miss today. I really now resent all the time that is wasted on reporting issues that are in reality so remote from us and beyond our control, especially Donald Trump and US politics. l ‘m going to skip all this nonsense today and find out the results tomorrow.
Probably another one the BBC won’t be running.
But the one from old mucker Ian Katz is likely to get a mention.
On a purely empirical basis, LinkedIn daily ‘news’ lead with a similar attempt, and most of the comments could have gone better. It’s like the media live in a bubble.
This poll should help the market rates of Ian, Jon and Krishnan…
Speaking of bubble heads, Katty and are American righ… left… right?
Jon of course is just another beauty.

Bbc editorial integrity in a nutshell.
The BBC have referred this to the Dianne Abbot supercomputer and food analyser and the result is. Lloyds have lost 14000 jobs and a nothing burger with fries and cods.
Been a while since I posted but this very likely literal burning injustice has been eating at me all day.
Last night the Mail posted a video of a gang of idiots burning an effigy of Grenfell tower. Certainly bad taste, but it was done in private, although the video clearly has caused outrage.
The Political Correctness Enforcement Squad we used to know as ‘The Police’ have got involved and 5 man have apparently ‘handed themselves in’. What any charge might be we don’t know, however one thing is clear, that as the most discriminated and oppressed group in the UK – White Males, they will certainly not be treated fairly.
Cast your mind back if you will to remembrance day 2010 when a group of so called ‘radical’ Muslims burned poppies in public, and chanted “British soldiers burn in Hell” during the 2 minutes silence.
In the judges obiter dicter he noted “the poppy was a “vivid” symbol of the trenches of Flanders where many of the deaths in the first world war occurred. “No doubt the event means more to some people than others and no doubt it symbolises different things to different people,” he said.”
“he was guilty of a “calculated and deliberate” insult to the dead and those who mourn them when he burned two large plastic poppies during a two-minute silence ”
The burning of the Grenfell effigy was not done in public and was not a calculated or deliberate act to offend, (although the idiots should have known) and therefore a lesser sentence could be expected.
The Muslim was fined just £50 for his appalling act, does anyone seriously believe a white male will get an appropriate sentence ?
Watch this case unfold to see the ever growing anti white race hate the leftist elites are displaying.
Thoughtful
Another side effect of the internet -publish your sins to the world .
I must admit I do wonder at what stage we will hit ‘peak outrage ‘ . Certainly juvenile trivia like that incident pales into nothing compared to a black kid bleeding out on the pavement of London
But I bet I know which on al beeb no alibi browny ,
Lame lammy , Diane – never add up – Abbot and the whole coloured victim industry will be wasting hot air over .

Wow, or, as Katty might exclaim to Emily M, ‘Don’t mention it!’.
Apparently, Marr this weekend has James O’Brien, Alistair Campbell and Andrew Adonis on to ask questions on anything but this.
I have leared.
Guest Who
Big Ear’s guests seem as balanced between remain and leave as ever.
It would give O’ Brien a chance to repeat his paedophile smears against Arron Banks before an insignificant audience. Who watches Big Ears when you can listen to Farage on another channel?.
And they say BBC satire is dead.

Oh, how we laughed. Well, no one did, but…
As Next Nanny Nonsense goes, epic.

Guessing BBC content across the board gets a pass?
Fresh from ITTB, a true giggle…

Guessing BBC ‘Honest Mistake’ Editorial room was full to bursting.
Much explained.

I thought he was. Certainly his BBC outings are the most entertaining thing to come out of there in a while.
And with Surlenny now Minister for Roanriness, why not?
Here’s a first.
I generally sit, zombie like, taking in the credits as they scroll up on tv programmes.
I’ve noticed that Jo Street is a regular Commissioning Editor for many ‘lightweight’ programmes ie Homes Under the Hammer, Antiques Roadshow etc.
Today I saw that she now has a sidekick ! under the title of ‘Assistant Commissioning Editor for the BBC’, and its one Muslim Alim ! (yes, Muslim is his name, perhaps he should get together with Faisal Islam – what a comedy duo that would make.)
Will we now see in the credits, all the canteen staff/cleaners/under managing editors/assistant scriptwriters/etc etc if they are of an ethnic minority ???
Earlier, I tuned into our far left Marxist State Broadcaster just before 0800 to catch the headlines on Toady. First bullet point announced: US Mid-term elections and President Trumps, “…tirade…” at the migrant caravan approaching the southern US border. No balanced news of the Dems. Threats of physical violence and/or any reference to same’s controlled Antifa where daily they exercise violence with impunity. No, no, no, that would be ‘balanced news’ wouldn’t it? ‘Off’ button.
One benefit of the news being now increasingly being conveyed in unbelievably biased sharp relief, particularly by our, “Worlds most trusted”, EU/Globalist mouthpiece is that the opposing ‘real news’ i.e. unbiased factual news now increasingly available on the internet is equally in sharp relief which makes it much easier for the average listener/viewer to distinguish the stark contrast between the two. Within my circle, more people are turning to the plethora of ‘honest news’ channels available because they recognise that the latter are doing what, ‘News broadcasters’ should do: convey the news, factually, honestly and much in a completely unbiased fashion. Long may the contrast grow between the two.
I turned on later, about 0820 thinking I had missed all the massaged news on the Mid-terms to find that Sopel was then chucking in his ‘two-pennyworth’. From the two, max three minutes I caught of Sopel, I detected a change from total Trump hatred and anything Republican, to a very cautious hint that things may not turn out the way the Dems would want. It seems that the numbers turning out to vote could exceed those in 2016. But if, as our State Broadcaster as the Dems cheerleader, would welcome and they prevail what then? “Some say” there’s revolution in the air………..

It must be a fraught time for the Font of Truth. What would a Trump advance do to their collective mental health?
They are still desperately trying to work out why Trump won last time and their thought processes have become completely pathalogical as a result.
This morning Justin? was asking poor stupid Trump voters why they as dirt poor losers did not hate rich billionaire whiteman Trump as much as the BBC does. What was once Marxist class theory seems to have simply morphed into a pathological hatred of rich, old white, heterosexual men. The BBC offer nothing other than the pale, stale and male as the root of all evil – patriarchy, metoo, Brexit, generational inequality, blah,blah,blah, – you name it the male, stale and pale is to blame.
This is why a real Brexit is so important, they would indulge in futile “why have we lost” navel gazing for decades to come.
Will Soaphole explode on air if Trump is victorious. Too much to hope for, but joyous if it happened.
One might think that the UK has achieved an unprecedented level of minority/ethnic representation across TV and film, unequalled anywhere in the world. But please spare a thought for Sir Lenworth George Henry OBE (net worth £7m), who tells the Guardian he still suffers with loneliness.
“…because I am now more often working behind the scenes, behind the camera as a producer and a writer — and just like those bad old days in the 1970s in front of the camera, I am still all too often the only black person in the room.”
His solution (of course) is a call for state tax relief to help women, BAMEs and disabled people get more producer / director / writer roles. He adds “…to effectively silence disabled people from telling their own truth on film or TV is close to criminal and will not help wider society understand their reality.”
A particularly troubling trivialisation of criminality, but one we’re seeing more of on a daily basis.
Meanwhile Idris Elba is apparently the “peoples sexiest man alive”
Who voted? Was it a “people’s vote”?
Shoulda gone to Specsavers. Or maybe not.

how to blame whitee in this case the AFD for muslim bad behavior
Couldn’t help but notice the BBC phrasing of the 1pm headlines on their News Channel.
Seems that in the US the Democrats have ‘high hopes’ in the mid-term elections.
Theresa May meanwhile is engaged in ‘attempts’ to get a Brexit deal.
So, I think we know where our BBC news editors stand on those two issues.
