As 2018 comes to a sudden end the Far Left BBC goes into full revision of the year to suit its’ biased view .
I think the falling Christmas figures will give just another small push towards subscription funding to finally kill the poisonous creature off .
Could some activists unwittingly be playing a similar roll here?
“Over the past generation, migrant smugglers — at the outset known as “polleros” (or chicken herders) — have been viewed as a necessary evil by migrant advocacy groups. Smugglers acted illegally, to be sure, but for a worthy cause: To assist migrants to arrive at their destination and achieve a better life…”

Don’t make metaphors like they used to.
So we have a migrant crisis. Savid Javid, Home Secretary (peace be upon him) comes back from his holidays to deal with the problem. The problem appears to be how can he continua to allow more of his kind in whilst at the same time appearing to do something to
prevent them coming in?
That is where you need a loyal media, which will drop all reporting of Sajid’s people and their arrival here.

“The government needs to find a way to process their claims in France instead and then transfer them”
The bBC are filth.
theisland,
Well Bishy of Dover, will you and your congretation support them, the cost, housing feeding and everything else. I would anticipate a big ‘No’ to that suggestion. Personally, I’m sick to death with these well meaning Marxist idiots.”
Strange that remainers are quiet about this . Just a few days after the lefty chief London ‘ copper’ bitched about the threat to national security that might be caused by a full brexit – when we have a real threat right now coming across the channel .
“find a way to process their claims in France”
I have repeatedly heard them say, there is no other way to apply for asylum rather than enter illegally
.. AFAIK they can go to a British embassy or representative in a war zone and apply ..but then they’d be at the back of the queue.
“To assist migrants to arrive at their destination and achieve a better life…”. They’re not the only ones who want to assist the invaders, sorry, migrants to arrive at their destination and achieve a better life.
Remember this when you can’t get your child into the school of your choice, when you have to wait weeks to see your GP or when you aren’t considered for social housing because the needs of a Somali family with six children are considered to be more of a priority than you with your two children. Oh, and don’t mention the unprecedented rise in crime, especially violent crime and ‘new’ types of crime such as honour killing, FGM and acid attacks. You may also have noticed that the roads seem a lot more congested.
Remember just over twenty years ago when our population was much lower because our birth rate was much lower? What’s happened to account for the increase?
Do something our politicians never mention; have a look to see what the most popular boys name is over the last few years, don’t forget to include it’s derivations.
Cassandra,
“….and ‘new’ types of crime such as honour killing, FGM and acid attacks….”.
Item on our far left Marxist State Broadcasters News at 1300 today: in the “Democratic” Bangladesh election ballot boxes have been seen filled before the elections begin…………..
Coming to a Town or City near you in the not too distant future (compliments of the UN Migration Compact).
Somali pirates were kidnapping crews and passengers in the Indian Ocean a few years ago.
They pirates extorted millions.
Then they tried a Russian boat.
Putin sent some naval craft, sank the pirate vessels and sailed over swimming survivors.
No more attacks on Russian ships.
Probably the same people on these boats.
Where’s Putin when you need him?
Cassandra – absolutely right. Although I know decent individual Bangladeshis, corruption, dishonesty and unbelievable racism are the norm in their society. For a society to function well, the majority of ordinary people have to be honest, hard-working and law-abiding people. Protestant northern European cultures have been strikingly successful in producing such people. The rest of the world has not. On the sub-continent everything from shortchanging your customers to rigging elections is expected. We import the Third World at our peril.
“Protestant northern European cultures have been strikingly successful in producing such people.”
THAT is absolutely spot on.
No region is perfect, but the relativists will always zoom in on its failings. The fact remains, migration on the whole means movement from dysfunctional societies to the more functional ones.
I’m in no hurry to move to Somalia, Angola, Pakistan, Mexico or Venezuela, and I don’t want them brought here, thank you.
Cassandra you need to up your photoshop game-
UK Border Farce
You should have modelled the text to match the curves it’s supposed to be on. You should also have moved the text down and round the curve so it looked more realistic. You’ve done a very poor Photoshop job.
You wouldn’t think that Just 12% of those working in engineering occupations are women because every time the BBC gets a chance they put one in front of the camera.

Where CNN goes, the BBC follows.
Their Katty is cuter, though.
As we’re approaching the end of the year I’m trying to remember the most painfully, politically correct slant a story has been given by the Beeb. There’s quite a few to choose from but I think this one takes some beating.
I remember listening to the Jeremy Vine Show one cool October afternoon when I was laid up with a slipped disc.
He related the story of Karen White. “Karen” is the transgender prisoner, who’s actually still a bloke, but claims to “identify as female” and has therefore been allowed to serve his sentence in a female prison. What could possibly go wrong?
He (I’m still going to call Karen he) has a record as long as your arm. Mainly violence, flashing at kids, indecent assault, animal cruelty, raping a pregnant woman and stabbing an elderly man. So, in short a real charmer!
While in the women’s prison he sexually assaulted a couple of inmates. Surprise, surprise.
It was Vine’s, oh so PC machinations re these horrible incidents that astonished me. “They were in the showers and she started waggling her erect penis at the other women.”…and then “She stood behind the woman and pressed her erect penis into her…” FFS, no!
Poor old Jezza was in a right state, particularly later when he spoke to another transgender person about the case and inadvertently referred to “Karen” as “he”. You’d think he’d broken all 10 commandments in one go.
In the good old days the BBC used to make Monty Python.
Now it’s become like one of its sketches…
Without wishing to disparage the concerns of individuals about crime on their doorsteps, this is worth a look (warning – it’s the Express):
REVEALED: The most DANGEROUS places to live in England and Wales – how bad is YOUR area?
Some of the ratings are surprising, others less so. Budget cuts to blame of course.

I am following the Bangledeshi general election with great interest,
as it is the continual leader on the BBC Website today. However I
was wondering if anybody with more knowledge on the
voting system in Bangledesh than me. Are only WOMEN allowed to vote?
All the leader photos are of women voting ?
I know the BBC is veering towards the first media outlet just
catering for and just employing women. I suppose I
can accept this. But that does mean that any news concerning
men will not feature? It’s a novel idea. I am really looking forward
to Claire Balding hosting Match of the Day featuring the top netball game on a Saturday.
“Scouring” ? : nope the BBC spit’s it’s same old pseudo-liberal AGENDAs in my face almost every time I switch on.
On R4 right-now weird version of Dickens with a massive disproportionate amount of BME voices
And when I switched on the is morning they soon came to platforming metro-Liberal darling and racebaiter June Sarpong
SG – Radio 4.
A photograph of the aesthetically challenged cast shows how wise it was to avoid television.
Listened to ‘From our own correspondent yesterday, Radio 4 on Saturday. One of the items was a tortuous tale about trolls, with the journalist trying to make an analogy with something that’s going on in Sweden that wasn’t specifically referred to.
The trolls of legend may have been people who couldn’t accept the change from Pagan beliefs to Christianity, so fled into the forests and turned into the ugly creatures of legend.
The journalist in Sweden encountered a ‘troll’ in the dark one night, dressed in black, who defaced – I think it was a pro immigration poster or something like that – and ran off when it realised the journalist had spotted the ill deed and ran off. The journalist pursued the ‘troll’ but the troll managed to evade capture.
To me, the intended moral of this tale is that those who cannot accept change (islamisation – though the I word was not used) are and will become like the trolls of legend.
Were I an editor for this programme I would have thrown this contribution in the bin. There must be more candidates for inclusion than they put in the program. So, the inclusion of this item is telling of the BBC mindset. Is it Kate Adie’s fault or is she just the presenter?
This just happened to be on when I switched on the radio in the car so I didn’t catch the journalist’s name.
That list with with alumni Joe, James, Gavin, John, etc…? Add another.

“The notion that the “will of the people” cannot change in the face of the overwhelming new facts is almost embarrassingly naive”
The notion that the claims of the NoBrainers are facts, is a view held by nobody.
The denials of the malevolent, dictatorial, intentions of the EU, made by NoBrainers, are believed by nobody else.
We are leaving. Please move, permanently, to Europe Mr Snoddy. Please take 10 million of your lefty mates, your highly implausible arguments and your hilarious non-facts with you.
No link, but this FB post is VERY bbc, and from the comments has been identified as such.
****
Black beachgoers were asked to leave the area by private security guards, demonstrators claim.
****
‘Beachgoers’, ‘claims’ and… of course… ‘demonstrators’.
The BBC really not happy unless inciting.
@GW you can put your mouse over the timestamp of a Facebook post to grab its own URL by then righclicking
So here’s that BBC News post : Black beachgoers were asked to leave the area by private security guards, demonstrators claim
The top comments give BBC a kicking, I took screen shots (alt Printscreen)
I haven’t read about the situation deeply
but it seems private householders Clifton beach. thought the best way to keep the streets around secure during December holidays was to hire private security.. cos the police are not enough.
And someone made the decision it’s best to close beaches at night
So ALL people were asked to leave.
Of course there is doubt about the legality of that.
– Next local politicians jump on the bandwagon, cos elections are coming in ..and shout it was illegal and lay charges against the security firm.
hence ” This is a manufactgured outrage”
– Some black people came up with the idea of sheep sacrifice ritual to “purify” the conflicted spot ..of course local traditions must be respected, but this idea is controversial.
I don’t know about the idea of rape or sexual assault allegations.

Tx, SG (wonder why some offer a ‘link’ share option but others do not?).
So, at best, no clarity yet, but the bbc decides to weigh in to tell its version of truth unto power. And turn up the heat. And what doesn’t do that better than a ritual sacrifice? With oodles of Sangria.
Wonder if there is an A380 load heading there for a jolly pretending to ‘investigate’, as they did with the Mandelathon?
I “scoured” Twitter for about 5 mins and this one of the last tweets showing this “racist” beach, before the protests started.
Doesn’t look like a very white group to me

“‘Brexit 50-50’ if May’s deal rejected, says Liam Fox”
He said if the deal is rejected, that “would shatter the bond of trust between the electorate and Parliament”.
The bond of trust was shattered decades ago, untrustworthy MPs are to blame.
Including you Fox, because May’s Brexit is Remain, ask Rees-Mogg to explain it to you.
More Fox lies available, none of them new, if you wish to read them.
“Senior Brexiteer minister Liam Fox says there is a 50-50 chance the UK will not leave the EU on 29 March if MPs reject Theresa May’s Brexit deal next month.”
Rubbish ! We voted out, full stop. Not a May/Junker BRINO deal.
MP’s are totally out of touch with the people and are trying to avoid a WTO Deal. We need a General Election to sweep the dross out and get a real Parliament that represents the democratic wishes of the people.
Vote and support UKIP and tell your MP that you are doing so. Their job is at risk.
Duplicitous snakes are conniving to force a delay by any means.
https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit-delay-if-theresa-may-deal-fails/
t – “Their job is at risk”.
It is much more serious than their job, much more.
Liam Fox is another Brexit sell out like Gove who values five minutes sitting at the big table, sucking up to a lying and treacherous PM rather than being true to his “principles”
How I hate these people. At least with likes of Mathew Paris, Grieve and Chukka woteverisname is – you know what they believe in.
Changing the subject (and not BBC relevant because I have studiously avoided it for the last week for blood pressure reasons – but I gotta tell someone) I bought the Times today as there were no Sunday Telegraphs. And it seems to be trying to turn itself into the Gaurdian.
We had at least two pages dedicated to migrants . The first article was by a journo called Sarah Baxter, who happened to be aboard a flight where a Somalian “refugee” offender was being deported.
We had 7 columns of print trying to raise sympathy for this particular individual who came to this country as a child “refugee” (with his family?) but decided to bite the hand that fed him instead by selling class A drugs. Now he is being deported, Boo hoo – No good riddance. But at least Sarah believed in him. (obviously not a racist)
The second article was by Mathew Cambell concerns a group of “migrants” trying to cross the channel to Blighty. The article figured a character called “Mossen” who until recently was a school teacher in Tehran (hooray – must have a degree and everything) and his friend Mohammed (an engineer) unfortunately there did not appear to be a Doctor in the group. Mossen said he is likely to be executed if he returns (boo hiss) as he figured prominently in the recent protests against the Mullahs. Unfortunately our intrepid journalist Mathew seems to have been unable to have done any research on this character just taking his words at face value and publishing the article.
What particularly annoyed me about this article was that in the best BBC fashion it takes everything these characters take at face value. We have no idea who we are taking in and who these people have hurt. And even if they show contrition now for any crimes, what is to say they will not go back to their old ways once they have gained or (re-gained ) entry to the UK. How naive can these people be.
The other point which these MSM journos seem to have missed (which I think has been mentioned here) All of these people are ILLEGAL immigrants. And in fact they have already crossed through Europe and were safe – yet they have to come here. We know for a fact that they are schooled in what to say by “refugee” charities.
When will these MSM cretins ever get it, on the whole we are being ripped off and lied to by chancers who have seen their opportunity and have grabbed it. Yet still they refuse to see it.
Whatever happened to “journalistic rigour” God the founders of the “Thunderer” must be rolling in their graves.
Maxincony
Can you give us any evidence of Pro Brexit or Right wing Bias broadcast by Al Beeb ?
Over to you and your mates Maxi…………….
t – You need to shout.
Due to the noise of the water running under his bridge.
Welsh comrades – apparently the beeboid called Jeremy Vine has insulted your national language . It might add up to a ‘hate crime ‘ which should be reported to the police .perhaps he could be suspended from the BBC pending investigation .
After all – carol thatcher got banned for life for apparently using common language to describe people of an African type …
Lets hear him insult a few more languages used in the UK that come from other climes – if he dare ?
This should get some support on this site whether your English, Scottish, Irish or Maxitroll ……………………………
Vine and Welsh, none story
Tweet said“Is France in the UK?”
.. then people with a POLITICAL agenda tried to spin that as a great insult
Of course Vine never meant to say Welsh is a second class language
..and them interpreting it as that, makes them bullies.
Anyone is allowed to make little mistakes
Vine’s routine agenda bias is a whole different issue.
Not BBC related.
I wanted to use procrustean in a post on another website.
Not a word I use frequently, so I confirmed my spelling was correct.
Merriam-Webster first on the screen, opened it and found:-
“Recent Examples on the Web
Decades later, the discrete litmus tests each party imposes on judicial nominees—and particularly those imposed by the Federalist Society–enamored Republican Party—have evolved into a nearly procrustean template.
— Peter M. Shane, Slate Magazine, “The Most Important Question for Trump Judicial Nominees,” 5 July 2017
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word ‘procrustean.’ Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.”
So Google are fiddling our searches, and lefty lexicographers are using the rigged searches to promote their political philosophy, or demean the political philosophy of their opponents.
The ex-miner said said: “I see men from the coal industry buckled up from working all their life, doing hard graft, and have nothing to show for it.
“I don’t know how you and the rest of the BBC can justify picking their pay check up every week when there are men and women working their fingers to the bone who don’t get nowhere near the money you are earning and are struggling to live”.
Bottomline Vine’s agent pitches for the maximum he can get, it’s upto BBC management to make the decision.
You would pay Jeremy Clarkson loads of money cos his presence gets higher overseas sales, similarly Chris Evans might bring in more advertiser cash on commercial radio.
“A Procrustean solution is the undesirable practice of tailoring data to fit its container or some other preconceived structure.”
I always liked the tale of Procrustes, who in the mythological age of heroes used to run a sort of sadistic AirBnB service in Greece, until Theseus caught up with him.

When they have nothing worth saying, they ask questions. And they ask a lot. Make of that what you will.
SG – this had a link luckily, as I have no right click on my tablet.
GW
“no right click”
I have not used Apple products, but all Windows, Android and Fire tablets I have, provide this facility, usually with more than one way to achieve it.
Try Youtube.
Or if something is actually broken, you can get a bluetooth mouse on Amazon for under £10.
@GW on Android touchscreen you touch the point on the screen and hold finger down , and the “right click menu” appears
For screenshot : I can put my finger down at the top on the screen and swipe down and a little menu appears
..or press the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time,
Supposedly the same on an iPad if you hold down for 5’. So far… no luck! However, I have found out by accident how to see every subsequent post added… and quickly unchecked that.
Screen grabs sorted long ago, as a few ECU directors have found to their cost.
GW if it’s the bbc it’s a”far right click “

“advertiser cash on commercial radio”
It seems to me the BBC is attempting to become a commercial broadcaster while retaining their income as the state broadcaster.
Naturally, as Marxists, they will deny it.
No-deal Brexit ferry contract sparks concerns
Concerns have been raised over the readiness of a British firm contracted by the government to run extra ferries in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Seaborne Freight was awarded a £13.8m contract this week to run a freight service between Ramsgate and Ostend.
The firm has never run a ferry service and a local councillor said it would be impossible to launch before Brexit.
The government said it had awarded the contract in “the full knowledge that Seaborne is a new shipping provider”.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46714984
just standard old boys network, hand out £108 million to your mates …
if a no deal actually happens, their inexperience can help create a jam..
I’m not following this too close , could someone explain the ‘logic’ of increasing ferries from Europe after a no deal?
I thought all trade would just dry up??
or any that bothered coming would not be let it due to red tape ?
”The government has also awarded additional, much larger ferry contracts to French company Brittany Ferries and Danish shipping firm DFDS, worth £46.6m and £47.3m respectively.”
of course got to spread the love to the EU…
Maybe they could dig a tunnel between the Reich EU and Britain ….
Fed,
I’m not sure what the situation is like now, but I remember a couple of years ago speaking to a relative who works on the railways. He said that freight coming into the UK on the Channel Tunnel was severely curtailed because the companies kept getting big fines for all the illegals jumping on board making it unprofitable..with the French police apparently turning a blind eye.
Imay
Oh well – maybe it can be filled in then – or maybe one way from Blighty to the ReichEU for deportations ?
Blimey – I see Maxi’s been re-activated. Now he’s back like a toy drone invading our airspace once more. Buzzing about with an onboard loudhailer shouting “You deplorables, your posts are 0.01% inaccurate, therefore far-right and completely inadmissable and untrue!”

Saw the last 20 minutes of the Paddington film on BBC1 this evening. Twice we received the message that in spite of coming from another country and being different from other people Paddington was loved by the Brown family. The message was laid on with a trowel.
Have been persuaded by daughter to watch Les Mis at 9pm on the BBC this evening. Having avoided the musical and being the heathen that has not read the book I am not that certain of the story or the setting. But it took less than 10 minutes to see the first black character and noticed two black people amongst the few going into church.
Need I add that as yet I a must not feeing uplifted by Les Mis.
I am not so uneducated that I don’t believe there were some black people in Paris, just not the coincidences that provide a higher ratio than I would have anticipated.
Deb
Wait til episode 2 when the trannies turn up . Didn’t even bother . I wonder how bbc will hype the viewing figures . ?
As year on year the Christmas ‘ specials’ are much less ‘special’ it will be full blown repeats – or ‘ classics’ as they are now called .

But Paddington is REAL!
