Start the Week Open Thread 3 December 2018

The Far Left BBC has been silent on the poisonous UN Treaty on Migrants which the outgoing PM will sign on our behalf this week. It is a horror and shows how far the UN has become a disfunctional lefty cancer in need to urgent reform .

When the next government – of whatever type incorporates the treaty into UK law people will wonder what the hell is going on – bet the BBC won’t tell them .

 

There is a petition on the government website and I am sure some friend will put up the link in

    I notice from Lawrie Taylor (Communist) that the BBC now have several new groups to worry about

    The far right – official BBC definition (and I have this in writing from them) anyone who opposes further Islamic Migration to the UK. or in other words around 90% of the population.

    The Hard right – anyone who is prepared to use violence in defence of their beliefs / country

    The Extreme Right – undefined but believed to be the ‘worst ‘ of the three.

    Taylor seemed incredulous that any white person would object to their countries being over run by foreign migrants, their culture destroyed, and them being reduced to second class citizens.

    A real masterclass in left wing lunacy, the man belongs in an asylum !

      I love the guilty whitee skin colour game . Today the guardian disclosed that more black people get tazered than white . I read this as the guardian encouraging the police to tazer more white people to get the numbers right .

      It also doesn’t take into account the skin colour of the copper tazering . Maybe black coppers tazer more – or black people don’t like being told what to do by black People wearing blue .

      No doubt they’ve got a quote from Lammy or Abbot or butler or the bus drivers son currently ruining London.

      Well I was bullied at school and beaten up by a black Gang which regularly stole dinner money .

      Their leader has about another 20 to do of a 30 year sentence . I hope he enjoys slopping out .

      To use bullying as a political badge shows how diversity is dumbing down the bubble to a dreadful level .

      If you listen to some of the dire speeches in parliament over the sell out it really is dire .

        I am having similar thoughts today. The people in government and our parliament. Are these really the best our country has to offer? Leadership qualities are non-existent and with few exceptions they lack character, commitment and principle. It’s embarrassing.

        I suppose it’s to be expected with a hereditary House of Lords (what an anachronism) but what about the rest of them?

        When I get around to ruling the world I’ll clear out the bloody lot of them. 😉

      I’m sure that most bullying is nothing to do with race/colour/ethnicity.

      I also was bullied at school just for being a quiet little thing. It got so bad that I spent most break times hiding in the toilet cubicle where they couldn’t get at me. Also, in those days, stiff upper lip was the thing. You didn’t tell your parents.

    The London Evening Standard and, I guess also the BBC, made much of the fact that ‘the pound soared after the Government lost the three votes in the House’ and the ECJ issued its preliminary view about ‘stopping Brexit’. It was mentioned in the 10.45pm TWT end-of-programme news round up and in the 11pm News but I do not know what was said in the 6pm News or earlier during TWT.

    In reality, the gains made were tiny and the sort of thing seen on any trading day. They could have been due to a variety of factors and were certainly not of the order of 3 cents on the Dollar or 5 cents on the Euro.

    It’s called blackfishing, so the BBC tell us. The story is about women pretending to be black, or rather being accused of pretending to be black so they can benefit in some way.
    One of the women has a fat arse which, I understand, is a valued asset to black women.

    But as the BBC are constantly reminding us of the oppression suffered by black people in our white privileged society how is it beneficial to pretend to be black?

    BBC1 News at 19.00

    The funeral of President Bush was reported by Jon Sopel. He did not flinch from throwing digs at Trump. Here’s what he said during the report on the Church Service:

    “- a divided nation”

    “Trump – so disdainful of the Bush dynasty”

    “This a day of unity – warmth it wasn’t – the chilly body language – chilly as the day outside”. (a reference to Trump shaking hands with Obama and his wife).

    “As President – Bush said he wanted a gentler, kinder nation – something not at the forefront in 2018.”

    So, Sopel uses any event possible to smear Trump. And the BBC pay his wages with our money.

    • TrueToo says:

      Dover Sentry,

      Evidently Sopel is too intent on pumping out his petty propaganda to be concerned with facts. Even though there was much animosity during the primaries between Jeb Bush and Trump, George W. Bush and wife Barbara received Trump and wife Melania graciously as they arrived to pay their respects to the family and the warmth was evidently reciprocated.

      Here’s the evidence which shows that Sopel is either lying or willfully ignorant of facts that don’t suit his bias.

      ITV News just now was no better. The atmosphere was friendly amongst the former Presidents until Trump turned up, apparently. We were then shown a picture of them sitting in stony silence looking at the order of service.

      Knowing how the media operates, I’d imagine that was judicious editing by using a shot during the service.

      I must have imagined the venom and ridicule that I wrongly remember being directed towards the Presidents Bush, because apparently they were great statesmen from a golden age.

        Roland Deschain,

        Yes the fake workers for the fake media know how to edit to suit their fake narrative.

        Here’s a clip of Donald and Melania arriving to sit next to Barack and Michelle.

        It’s not exactly a reunion of old friends, but it’s cordial. Donald ushers Melania forward to greet them first, probably calculating it would be awkward for him and Obama to sit right next to each other.

        The Clintons, on the other side of the Obamas, greet Melania. Bill, at least, has the grace to smile. He appears to glance towards Donald, but Hillary looks straight ahead.

        For fake news workers to construct a stony silence out of all that is yet more evidence as to why they cannot be trusted.

          It can’t have been too comfortable really, but funerals rarely are, and it makes me think of those family events where you have a divorced couple, and their new partners/families, having to be civil and sit together.

          As a complete outsider, with no particular axe to grind, Trump, and his missus, actually strike me as handling this sort of situation very well. Obama and Slick Willy are too oily to let something like political differences get in the way of their carefully groomed public images. It’s Mrs Clinton who you really need to watch, with her wild, rolling eyes and quivering lips (she strikes me as a ticking timebomb at the best of times to be honest).

          Sopel has never recovered from Trump calling him out in public, and really needs sectioning and a straight jacket, it’d be interesting to see his reaction if you casually dropped the word ‘Trump’ into a random conversation.

            It’s tricky assessing this really. The bush family are swamp dwellers as are the clintons and Obama . So President Trump has to pretend to have some regard for them . As head of state he was duty bound to put on a show for Bush senior but hopefully the ex president s can go back to their holes .

    Tim Martin was on radio Newcastle this morning.
    I was looking forward to hearing him rubbish the remainer claims and push the Brexit side.
    I forgot that it was the bbc.

    Each ‘question’ by the interviewer consisted of about 15-20 negative to Brexit statements (bus, jobs etc) and then Tim was allowed a one sentence answer (then edited to stop?) so the bbc gets to say a whole lot of their anti Brexit propaganda and let Tim have a small say, about 15-20% of the interview.
    Later, a pro remainer gets just the opposite treatment being allowed to say anything (Brexit lies, bus, electoral fraud and the usual rubbish)
    So, business as usual.

    Why doesn’t someone, on live bbc, ask them why they have made NO positive programs about Brexit and why EVERY political program is heavily biased to the remainers such as question time panels being invariably 4 remainers to 1 leaver each week (unless it’s 2 leavers where one is like Paul Mason who says he is a leaver yet wants everything to stay as it is)

    There was an interview with “leading economist, Vicky Price”, on the BBC News this morning. It was interesting to note the deference this prominent Remainer was given and the stark contrast the former jailbird was afforded when compared to our own Tommy Robinson.
    Whenever Tommy is introduced we are always told his real name is…. and given a full list of his past misdemeanours and unsavoury associates. Vicky was treated like a queen!
    No mention of her imprisonment for perverting the course of justice, no mention of her former husband, ex leading Liberal (and another jailbird) Chris Huhne, imprisoned for the same reasons. And no mention either of her current beau, Mr Dennis MacShane, yet ANOTHER jailbird! This geezer was Labour MP for Rotherham and diddled the tax payer out of nearly £13,000. Rather more importantly he was also MP during the years of mass rapings.
    “I knew nothing” he claimed and yet when pushed some years later he confessed, “I’m a true Guardian reader, a liberal leftie, I suppose I didn’t want to push it too hard. I didn’t want to rock the multicultural boat.”
    Clearly the honest and impartial BBC must have known all of this.

    UK Domestic IP address (no Gilet Jaunes / Carbon Tax)

    some graphics (photos) failed to render but the structure and text is preserved.

    needless to say ….. that “Why you can trust the BBC” link looks a bit more ironic than usual today. Look at the difference in coverage emphasis too – many times the two audience IP range contents are near identical – but they’re a “bit busy” at the moment ….

      Dear Member of Parliament,
      This year we have commemorated the 100th anniversary of the end of The Great War and the extension of suffereage to property-owning women over the age of thirty, strangely forgetting its extension to all men over the age of 21. The former group numbering around 8.5 million, bought at the cost of one life and the later numbering around 7.7 million, bought at the cost of 744,000 lives. Equality is a wonderful thing.

      But what is the point of being able to vote if there is no-one to vote for? Such has been the case for the last forty years when it came to the issue of membership of the EEC/EU. However in 2016 our politicians gave us a chance to use our vote, they said that they would abide by our decision and so we voted to leave the EU.

      Immediately parliament, the government and the civil service went to war against the people. Our prime minister set up a ‘Q’ department, a fake department that was supposed to be working out the arrangements to leave the EU. The reality was that she and the cabinet office were working against the people, behind the backs of her own cabinet.

      The result, the so-called Withdrawl Agreement, a device to remove our right to leave the EU under Article 50 under the Treaty of Lisbon and to bind us to the rules of the EU indefinitely.

      Clearly this Withdrawl Agreement in no way achieves a clean exit from the EU, indeed the very reverse, and it is consequently in contempt of the will of the people.

      When we were ruled by Kings and Queens they asserted that they ruled by divine right, God himself had granted them authority. No such right belongs to our parliament. Their right to govern is gifted by the people and can be withdrawn by the people.

      I understand that you believe that there should be a second referendum. What nonsense! What part of ‘leave’ did you not understand the first time? If you won’t follow the instruction of the people given by the first referendum why should we expect you to follow any instruction from the people in future?

      Anyone who is a libertarian or democrat must surely vote down the Withdrawl Ageement AND work towards delivering a clean exit from the EU.

      Remember the words of John F. Kennedy:

      “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”.

      Yours etc.

    Radio 4 News at One
    Can’t they leave anything alone?
    To the strains of the lone boy soprano who opens the Nine Lessons and Carols at Kings College Chapel singing “Once in Royal Davids City”, we hear Lesley Garrett complaining that the King’s College Choir is sexist because it’s all male.
    “One of bastions of male domination we have left.”
    Martha Carney is at least trying to put the view that it’s a cherished tradition. But why have that item?

    Reminds me of the fuss over Welsh male voice choirs a while ago.
    For God’s sake, it’s all about the unique sound. By all means, lets have more choirs, mixed, female, whatever, lets have more wonderful choral music, let it drown out the sound of that horrible call to prayer thing. But don’t push out the boys and replace with girls if the numbers have to be fixed in a particular set up.

    What next? All heavy metal bands have to be half female? The Spice Girls should have been half spicey boys?

    Grow up and find something really important to campaign about.

    What an awful politics live show today.

    Gobby Nicky Morgan talking over the one leaver on the panel so that you couldn’t hear anything he said, Lisa Nandy also talking over him.
    Jo coburn completely ineffective, waiting until the leaver was finished (being talked over all the way through) and then saying “don’t talk over each other”

    What an ignorant girl Morgan is blabbing on and denying the viewers the opportunity of hearing a viewpoint different to hers
    Nandy thinks representing the third of her voters that voted to remain is more important than representing the two thirds that voted to leave.
    Blackford saying he “respects the vote” and will carry it out “BUT” wants everything as it is now (otherwise known as staying in)
    Coburn completely out of her depth and losing control of the panel whenever the one leaver was allowed to speak.
    Or maybe that’s how she wanted it, her being another remainer.

    I posted last week that on the Horizon programme it had been clearly stated that renewables are at best tokenism . There is zero possibility of them ever being able to replace fossil fuels, only nuclear fusion can do that. Yet old Attenborough, on the very day that The Arc de Triomphe was surrounded by burning cars and covered in graffiti, claimed that we , the people , wanted shock measures to be taken to save the planet regardless of cost. Is there a better example of how out of touch the elite are from ordinary people?
    I do think that human kind is poisoning the planet in many different ways and that population growth is out of control and will mightily exacerbate the problems within the next twenty or thirty years. The most sensible thing that the UN , BBC and the like of Attenborough could do would be to lobby hard for nuclear fusion research and to persuade The third worlders to drastically limit the size of their families.

    An interesting quip this evening on Radio 4 from Ken Clarke (yes I know h’s an arch remainer) concerning the competence of his own party.

    Clarke says that May perhaps triggered the article 50 too early (blaming pressure from Brexiteers) which she did at the end of May. He then claimed that he believed that no one in government had a clue about what they wanted the outcome of negotiations to be.

    Just pause and think about the enormity of that for a moment. Not only did this corrupt bunch of public school idlers fail to prepare for the prospect of a leave result, but in the following 9 months between the referendum in June and the article 50 in March they did absolutely nothing to prepare for negotiations !

    This shouldn’t come as any surprise because following the signing of the Maastricht treaty by the idle comfortable incompetent bunch of exiles from rotten public schools, Douglas Hurd told the press with the immortal phrase ” well we’ve signed it now, we’d better read what’s in it” !

    What a confession! That they signed the worst treaty imaginable without even realising what they were doing ! No wonder Tony BLiar won with a landslide soon afterwards.

    The same is likely to happen with Mays absolute disaster of a government with the unloseable election lost, and to a landslide at that. We might even be living through the premiership of the worst PM ever taking the title from Lord North !

      If we get out of the ReichEU in any form it will be an achievement in itself .

      I think back to the referendum and I don’t remember much discussion about ‘an agreement ‘ – just ‘in’ or ‘out’. No cliff edge , no hard brexit , just leaving .

      The other thing being thrown around is that if brexiters are defeated in their wish it will unleash ‘ forces ‘

    Somebody above did a good job exposing the bias and personal anti-Trump opinions of Sopel during his report on George Bush’s funeral.

    If there is one BBC mantra guaranteed to set me tearing my hair out it’s ‘nation divided’ as if Trump was elected then suddenly the U.S. split down the middle and the two sides were immediately and violently at each other’s throats over race, immigration, transgenderism, global warming and all the other sacred cow agendas that have been relentlessly and aggressively pursued by activists and the leftist establishment for years. Then Trump came along and at last gave a voice to those who had been shouted down and marginalised by the fascistic tactics of pressure groups and politicians with their relentless accusations of -ism this, -phobia that and red-neck the other

    In other words, the country was already divided – all Trump did was bring it out into the open.

    Like it or not, it’s called democracy, Mr Sopel.

He’s now spent years trying to drum up future business for the UK and in doing so, liaising with so-called, “British Business”. From one who has lived outside the UK trying to drum up interest from, “British Business” to consider innovative business ideas around the World – and failing miserably – I understand his failure. “British Business”? It cannot exist without a cosy, comfortable cartel of like-minded souls. For them, the EU is a match made in heaven so, why would they even want to consider World alternatives?

          Now how about a falsetto in The Luton Girls Choir! That would turn a few heads, and not just because a few ‘tails’ have been turned already as well, rather painfully I guess…

          So eventually, it’s all going to be ‘squeaky’ clean, and nobody will be bothered to listen!

            “I can’t think of any music where the tenor, baritone or bass parts are taken by women!”

            You really are a reactionary, aren’t you? Look, if a woman can have a penis and a white man can be black, I don’t see why a soprano can’t be a bass or a baritone if she wants.

            It’s not widely known that Paul Robeson started off as a hairdresser called Carolyn. Didn’t do her any harm.

              Of course, Anne, you can be whomsoever you like, as long it’s black – and a Ford!

              And the Ford must have a clutch – not a grope, or a fumble, but a real grabber!

              I’ll investigate the Paul Robeson transformation, because I thought he was a manicurist! Just goes to show that ‘There is a balm in Gilead’ was really a cry for help!

          Lesley Garrett has always been known for her big voice – but I don’t mean her operatic one.

          Quite talented, obviously, but never a first rater.

          I’ve heard a couple of radio ads lately that mention “the clues in the name”

          I’d say this applies in the case of “all male choir”

          What next all white black Godspel choirs?

        his mum dad sister wife and himself all have EU self interests

        anyone speaking in the brexit debate should have their conflicts of interest read out before they are allowed to speak

    Do you notice how the practical advantages of a full brexit are never explained by the BBC – clear bias by the BBC and the rest.

    If we drop tariffs we could have an economic EUcitizen tourist boom like the old booze cruises with foreigners coming to Blighty to buy cheaper goods – assuming border and customs controls of course . We could get real duty free back too .
