    ‘I joined the far right at 15’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/46562180/i-joined-the-far-right-at-15

    Video about a young lad who joined a “far right” group and has now been brainwashed into only thinking Liberal thoughts.

    At 1m12s he says a teacher asked him “So how come so many people emigrate to the Britain?”.
    He replied “Because we’ve got the best benefits. That’s what got me kicked out of the classroom and referred to Prevent in the end”.

    The video then says there has been a 36% rise in the number of people referred to Prevent (the UK’s terrorism-prevention programme).

    Meanwhile in news not reported by the BBC, ISIS threaten to attack Christmas markets and 30,000 Jihadis roam free wanting to attack us.

    But knowing a young lad will no long say immigrants come to the UK for benefits make me feel safer.

      The constant attempt by the media to draw equivalence between Islamic terrorists and the “far right” isn’t just irritating. It’s downright sinister.

      However, I feel it will backfire on them. I don’t think anyone believes it and once you realise the media is lying to you about one thing… well, I suspect all of us on this site have been there.

      “The video then says there has been a 36% rise in the number of people referred to Prevent (the UK’s terrorism-prevention programme).”

      AND all this under a so-called Conservative government. In practice, it’s a social democratic party, not a conservative one.

      Time for the true Conservatives to abandon their misplaced party loyalty and form a new one – one that conserves something occasionally. Time for people like JRM, who I like in many ways, to stop being so honourable and do something bold.

      We also need to end the first-past-the-post system, it is preventing any real change (which, of course, is its intention).

    The cretinous Lord Adonis was on Good Morning Britain earlier this week alongside the comedy duo Kevin Maguire and Andrew Pearce from Fleet Street.

    Lord Adonis as we know wants another referendum. When asked what would be on the ballot paper he said ….

    1 – Remain
    2 – Leave No Deal
    3 – Leave with the deal offered.

    Piers Morgan quite rightly pointed out to the think little shyster that would clearly be wrong. Leave would obviously have a split vote whilst remain would clearly win. Adonis honestly thought there was noting wrong with this. That just about sums up these utter contemptuous remainers. Want everything their own way on their terms.

    There wont be another vote, there simply cannot be. Like pat Condell says, if it happened it would mean no democratic vote in this country would mean anything ever again.

    However, if there was one … it should again be simply Leave or Remain as the remoaners constant argument about the original result of us leavers not knowing what we were voting for would simply be bollocks ,,, if you dont know now you never will. And it would be the most satisfying feeling ever if LEAVE won again after all that … wouldnt that just be something to bask in !!!!

          If a Leave v Remain referendum (which I oppose) is to take place…..my wish list……

          1. The Leave campaign must be united, not a loose alliance of different groups with slightly different views on Brexit. The establishment has played ‘divide and rule’ very effectively with the different Leave groups.
          2. It must be made quite clear that a Leave vote is a vote for democracy, a Remain vote is a vote for the ruling classes and the un-elected establishment elite.
          3. Leave means a No Deal Brexit, let the EU come running to us for a trade deal.
          4. Government is neutral, no campaign, no spending, no project fear, no £9m leaflets through our letter boxes.
          5. The civil service, BoE, OBR etc. to be impartial.
          5. All debates/panels to be balanced with neutral presenters (to keep the bBBC/Sky et al out of it)
          6. I count the votes, and announce the result while seated upon a Unicorn.

      And Remain voters, having had no insight into/understanding of what really goes on in the Oberkommando of the EU, and where their ever closer and deeper union will end up, didn’t know what they were voting for…

    Italy, Poland, Hungary et al, ignoring EU instructions from on high, with impunity.
    Supported by their voters.
    I think this might become fashionable.
    I certainly hope so.

    What does the EU do?

    Impose fines? Impose larger fines when the first fines are not paid. Does not float for me.

    Expel the rule breakers? This would ruin the carefully manicured EU CV.

    Reverse the policy and return to an economic union? Another sinker, they have already used their
    quota of multiple referenda to obtain the “correct” result. They are not trustworthy or trusted.

    Normal Communist policy would be to send in the tanks and open new camps.
    No army, yet, as far as I know, please correct me.
    Use existing national military forces?
    I think the Marxist bastards are ruthless enough to do this.
    They would have to return the Nobel Peace prize.

    Import 200 million Africans to outvote us? That this has been considered has been confirmed by the UN
    pact. Demonstrating that they really are the enemies of European people.

    What I foresee is full steam ahead for a European state in twelve months. A last desperate throw of the
    dice. Which, if it fails, may be followed by the military option. Which the UK needs to prepare for.

    So the EU desperately need the UK to remain, and will leave no stone unturned to prevent Brexit.

    We cannot relax for an instant, until it dies.

    The ‘Confidence’ vote, contrary to media opinion, was successful in highlighting the EU strategy of holding the UK to ransom with the made up ‘back stop’. Ever the optimist, I’m hoping that May, in wounded animal mode, will now display the ruthless side of her background from when she was Home Secretary.
    On R4 this morning they covered the fact that there are ‘leavers ‘among the business community who actually have the wit to recognise the opportunities of a ‘no deal’ Brexit.
    Of course that story was later overshadowed in prime time by interviewing Blair.

        “how do young, gifted and talented blacks stand any chance of getting on?

        Solution #1 Get a job with the BBC. They pay well using other people’s money. The BBC hate white people so you will fit to a T. You can spend your entire career jetting round the world hating white people, especially men, and writing about it. You do not have to be an expert, the BBC will accept any old rubbish providing it is filled with hate.

        Solution #2 Buy some old tyres and cans of petrol. Throw tyres round the heads of white people, especially men. Douse with petrol and light. Voila job vacancies; more tyres, more vacancies.
        All the rage in South Africa where they really hate white people, especially men, and say so, receiving standing ovations.

        Solution #3 Look around the earth. Stop believing the BBC. Black people are at the bottom of the pile everywhere. There is a reason for this. Black people have lower IQs; the number of black people intelligent enough to be rocket scientists is vanishingly small. So black people get the jobs which require lower intelligence. These jobs are being taken over by machines, so not only do we not need the black people already in the UK, we sure as hell do not need any more thickos.

        Solution #4 Go back to Africa. Europe is full of white racists, especially men. Why tolerate it? If you really are talented, (not just given top marks, BECAUSE YOU ARE BLACK, which has happened in the USA for 50 years) you will stand out in Africa.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/brexit/7973734/bungling-philip-hammond-makes-grovelling-apology-for-calling-tory-brexiteers-extremists/

    PHILIP Hammond has issued an unprecedented apology over his Brexit “extremists” slur – and called on the party to come together.
    Challenged by The Sun, the Chancellor tonight said his barb was “not intended to cause any offence”.

    I don’t know how much influence constituency Conservative Associations have, if any, but isn’t it about time they took whatever steps are available to them to move against the 200 mini Maybots?

    Secret ballot or not, we know who they are. They are the ones who ‘respect the referendum result’ and are incorrectly defined by the msm as brexiteers. So they are wheeled out impartially to defend Treezer’s deal and muddy the waters. It’s time the main movers felt some heat from the ‘extremists’, even if it only amounts to minor irritations for them, such as emergency meetings. Letters/emails and clever articles are clearly of no use. These creatures need to be removed.

    As far as the large army of msm go-to lunatics and war criminals are concerned, their unstable and arrogant presence on the box advocating a loser’s vote or revocation of Art. 50 must surely help our cause?

    And scrap the bBC!

    Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has urged migrants to “completely abide by the laws, customs, traditions, and culture” of the countries they move to, or — better yet — to work on making their home countries worth staying in.

    “Every country has the right to protect its people and their interests,”

    “Don’t expect them to open the door for you so you can go into their country and cause trouble. No.”

    “… If you are not willing to do this, don’t go” — advice which would have provoked outrage from the left-liberal commentariat had been issued by a Western leader.

    Another rubbish question time last night.

    It was crying out for a member of the remain dominated audience to ask some question beginning with “I’d like to ask the single leaver on the panel….” or “here’s a question for the 4 remainers on the panel……” (just like last week, the week before and so on)

    The bbbc have given up all pretence of any impartiality and brazenly support remain in every way they can.

    Also, to all those on qt complaining that the ‘negotiations’ are going poorly, a remainer pm leading a remain dominated cabinet for a mainly remain party (200 v 117) in a remain dominated Houses of Parliament was never going to go the way of the democratic vote of 17.4 million or 422 (v 228 remain) constituencies which won the leave vote.
    Remainers blaming leavers because remainers are making a right mess of negotiating leave.

    ..Complex sculpture you’d have never been able to think up
    ..Is it art or taxpayer funded propaganda ?

            Oh yes, he scuttled off to make his millions with the ‘contacts’.

            Unfortunately he still hides behind the vain, duplicitous, dribbling scrote, Campbell. Clearly the Bliar grubby fingers are still dangling that nasty piece of ordure in front of every bbc camera with ‘look left’ on the lens.

            It was a perfect escape from certain downfall for Bliar when he tossed the pm-ship to the idiot Brown, who nearly finished off the job of breaking our country.

            Funnily enough, when Brown was on his final push to bankrupt the UK, it was the sort of commercial expertise, now supplied by Brexiteers these days, who brought the country back to near normality.

            The sorry bunch of remainers are still voting for the suicidal failures of the Brown years, and thankfully, the long memories of hard-working Brexiteers are a damn sight better than the snowflake generation, who were promised new phones, ipads, free tuition, drugs, go-faster stripes on their skate-boards and a big bag of sweeties for every day of their sad lives.

            And they all complain that they can’t afford a house…

            Good.

            Blair’s name is mud, he lost his Party and we got enhanced terrorism and damaged people coming back from heroic military service for their country …..

            … oh! ….. and a bill for the war.

      When I voted to get out of the EU, I knew that a ‘deal’ wasn’t an option!

      How can civil servants know about deals? They’re useless, as all they’re doing is shoving tax-payers’ money around!

      Just tell them all in Brussels to bugger off, and let real business people carry on without twonks interfering.

    Czech MP Jiri Kobza has called for the banning of Islam from Czech soil.
    In his view it was not a religion but a violence-generating ideology. He also referred to the migrant stream from Africa and the Middle East as ‘colonization’, not ‘immigration’.
    Poland and Hungary are meanwhile looking at stopping immigration from Muslim countries.
    Don’t look to the beeb to tell you about this. It will be too busy informing us about what it sees as the transgressions of Trump.

    BBC’s Nihal admits his prog has a problem with quality control and doesn’t deny accusations of his lefty bias

    Twitter conversation between @LondonNev vs @TherealNihal

    I like @TherealNihal but too often his own politics (left of centre) comes out. I don’t expect this of the BBC.
    NO it not that great to have lines line Chequers 2.0 in a rap song and there is ZERO excuse to have a pre recorded track include obscenities in the sound track – EDIT for Godssakes!
    Mixing Rap and politics – is NOT new news.

    Grandmaster Flash/The Message was doing that in the 80s
    Tell us WHY it was not edited.
    @TherealNihal you and your producer can do better than this.
    Surely do not play ANY unknown rap track without checking and editing!!
    And the guy was there – he could have warned you/ stopped it!

    @TherealNihal replied
    Calm down, it was a mistake, someone messed up, they will be feeling absolutely rubbish that they let that through.
    It’s rubbish, but once in a while it may happen.

    The BBC doesn’t practice what it preaches –

    The BBC was condemned yesterday for spending £100,000 of licence payers’ money on an advert for its news programmes lasting just 60 seconds. It flew a team out to South Africa to make the trailer, claiming it was cheaper than filming it in Britain.
