Ably supported by Oor Andy…
He doesn’t “come close to pleading”: he’s on his knees, BEGGING.
To be perfectly honest – I think the BBC would be more than happy if the Republicans started bombing public places and shooting policemen again – provided they said they did it “because of Brexit”
These brain washed idealogues are no better than sixth form revolutionaries. They have no appreciation of the misery that war brings, and are quite happy talking it up , if it helps to stop Brexit.
Disturbing footage from France of protesters burning a ReichEU flag . Why bother ? It’s worthless but soft on the skin and very absorbant – easy to flush too…
Secondly apparently Germans have taken to luminescent jackets to protest about some ReichEU directive or other putting up the price of diesel juice for some false green nonsense. Let’s hope it gets worse eh?
LBC who is this replacement presenter on after Maajid Ayesha Hazarika, and why does she have Labour guest after Labour guest : Momentum’s Landsman etc.
* and she was on R5 Live Piennaar’s politics this morning
* And she was on R4 News Quiz on Friday/Saturday
She’s claiming there are job losses in Sunderland
AFAIK jobs were to be increased ..and Nissan backtracked , that is not the same as proper jobs losses

\\ @rachshabi @soniasodha and @ayeshahazarika
seem to have their arses permanently glued to TV studio seats at the moment,
all from the fakenewsguardian all remain extremists,
it seems the BBC and Sky might have an agenda //
A month ago R4 Woman’s Hour did a special item about her
Just got my feet back on the ground from France and I find that Sara Thornton is new slavery tsar. Who is the person that decided that one ?
Nowt on Al Beeb about that ?
I also learn that Sir Vince is trying to get more MPs by resurrecting the old Social Democratic Party. He is hoping to entice Labour defectors to his party .
Nowt on Al Beeb about that either?
p
“RemainAndReform”
The EU does not do reform, ask David Cameron.
Grayling is the one foaming at the mouth.
A genuine RemTraitor performance, I almost suspended my disbelief.
Sinn Fein might as well take the oath, 470 MPs have already broken their oath.
Whynge.
Hardly a HYS on Al Beeb’s front page?
Is it because they get a slapping or because their censors don’t work weekends ?
You know they don’t work weekends
If Katty, Nick, Jon and Anthony think really, really hard, maybe… no, they won’t.
I’m looking forward to all the Trump tweets about individual Democrat candidates. The BBC will have palpitations about the unpresidential language and the rest of us will just laugh.
RJ
Something about stones and glass houses when going into a politicians’ past – especially millennials dumb enough to put their lives on the web.
I suppose it will split between metro liberals with no morality and the decent Americans who were wise enough to give a non swamp dweller the key to the White House .
The survival of the KKK democrat is probably subject to news cycles and ‘events ‘.
Rumours abound that Mrs Chamberlain will go for snap election ?
Here is the ‘rub’, she will get a lousy deal for Brexit and then go for a General Election in the full knowledge that she will walk it because the Labour Party is a no runner.
If this happens I can see a tidal wave of Tory voters speedily joining UKIP . Just a thought .
taffman
Yes. I hope the Tory voters don’t buy the Treezer will deliver crap. Ukip could gain a few seats and hit hard. This would be a good chance.
“Ukip could gain a few seats and hit hard.”
Only if Farage’s new party doesn’t split the Brexit vote.
Rumours ? i don’t have to waste my time going down such rabbit holes
.. I’ll just wait for real things to happen.
national polls don’t matter to an elction
What counts is winning local seats.

“May tells her MPs she will not lead them into next election”
She got through the no confidence vote with this commitment.
So who will be the Conservative Leader at this snap election?
I bet it will be May, circumstances have changed, time pressures, whatever the excuses are, she must go to jail, for ever, preferably longer.
Luckily, since we know business and probity are as one, Nissan using the Brexit card would have nothing to do with pressurising the government towards underhand, under-counter deals involving favourable and ‘friendly’ tax environments for their existing production lines. It almost goes without saying that would not apply, luckily.
Watching the “Inside Europe “ documentary which led to the Referendum is one of those few programmes where facts replace propaganda.
It is a reminder of how we came to where we are and that the FrancoKraut ReichEU is an enemy, if not currently – but soon to be
Their tune will change when Putin has another go at the Eastern Reich border and they come running to America and a little bit – Blighty . Which will be payback time .
If it is part of his chess game I’d say ‘well played sir ‘ because Your staff in Brussells are doing a great job at offending the country which picks up 20% of Reich EU funding for zip in return …
Andrew Neil clearly not too fussed about nearly every tweet from nearly all of Westminster, W1A or Femi on the slopes.
Meanwhile in the real world
in 2018 UK car sales
UK diesels outsold pure EV by 50 to one
750,00 to 14,000
Add in hybrids diesels still outsell them ten to one .. : self charging 80,000.. hybrid plugins 60,000
(figs R4 You and Yours on Friday)
petrol cars 1.5 million
..I think car life is looking to 20 years these days, so marketers need to come up with smart ways to convince people to get rid of their 5 year old car
BBC Newcastle Look North leads with the Nissan Story tonight. Unbelievable bias…
Reports centre on due to ‘uncertainty about Brexit’.
No mention at all of the other reasons.
The fall in demand for diesels… The main factors in the announcement. Nissan was planning to make mainly diesel versions of the X-Trail in Sunderland. Also European sales of the X-Trail fell 31 percent to 47,923 last year, according to JATO Dynamics market researchers..
The decision also follows the announcement of a free-trade deal between the EU and Japan on Friday. The EU will reduce the 10% duties on car imports to zero by 2027.
I look forward to more crap from the Look Norths report tomorrow morning and I bet this will be the leading story again just in to make sure project fear North East continues..
Nissan is with Renault I believe. Given Macron’s attitude towards us I am not surprised. Also this useless type of car has had it’s day. A fashion thing.
in japan they have a class of car designed by japanese car makers

if you go to italy the police drive italian cars or bikes
german police drive german cars and bikes
American police kawasakis are made in AMERICA
france ditto
its about time we started to do the same no questions asked
all police bikes should be triumphs
all police cars should be British
we should tweak all our laws to the advantage of british manufactures

Why did the BBChave crackle over the airwaves when JRM is talking ?
Nigel Farage used to get the same trouble with sound and camera angles.
Mardell really is a bought and paid for soros staffer – yapping to his masters’ voice . The crackling suggested to me that the BBc was losing so badly that they were going to use the ‘technical problem’ form of censorship …so beloved of Toady ….
They really must think we are really thick .
ahhhh the CNN losing method , they are still learning
Many Tx.
The bbc does seem to have a surfeit of overweight old white men prone more to advocacy than interviewing.
Which may explain why their audience figures are in free fall.
GW
Perhaps they’ll start dying off
Can’t wait for Rob to try his ‘it is because the bbc say it is’ approach once too often.
You really hit the nail on the head there.
We finance what amounts to subversion and incitement.
This Government will ban people it believes to espouse views counter to the ‘common good’ but forces it’s people to pay for the bbc.
When is enough, enough?
Watching the rugby highlights you’d never have guessed the England game was actually on ITV. With the well known chocolate-voiced impartiality of Eddie Butler – odd how he’s always available to add his little touches of spite and negativity when England are playing – the impression of being simply a timelapse replay of yesterday’s game was seamless.
Cleverly done, and neatly covering over the fact that yet again the BBC are outbid for major sports while still regarding Linaker and all the other mega-buck pocketers as good value for our money.
The BBC weren’t outbid for Six Nations TV rights. The BBC and ITV submitted a joint bid to ensure that the championship was available on free-to-air tv.
And in the same spirit of comradeship and co-operation, that would explain why the BBC made no mention of the fact that the game could be viewed on ITV, instead continuously promoting the Radio5Live commentary.
Piku
Al Beeb get free money from the Telly Tax payer. ITV have to work for their money.
It robs from the poor to give to the rich.
Simples.
Sorry if mentioned before .
But why did Vauxhall stop making cars in Luton , well before Cameron even mentioned having an EU referendum .?
Why did Ford move making engines at Dagenham to Turkey , even before Dave mention an EU referendum ?
And Peugeot closed down all of its UK manufacturing to move it to countries with cheaper labour……
Message to Al Beeb
“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
We know you game, and so do many of your viewers. That’s one of the reasons that your viewing figures are dropping and why you are loosing Telly tax payers.
I foresee a judicial inquiry into the conduct of your DG and your trustees.
The bbc know that we know but they also know we are utterly powerless to do anything about it.
They have the utmost confidence that any debate or any inquiry will find in their favor. They have zero fear of OFCOM, they know it it’s just too afraid of them and regard the Charter as their toilet paper.
Lord knows how anyone can change things – all the petitions just seem a waste of time while the Government has no will.
The US has several ‘bbcs’ BUT at least they have Fox News. Sky terminated Fox for it’s UK customers, due to, “low viewing figures” Bollocks, it’s the kind of thing they do in China and other controlling, repressive states.
Tonight in Atlanta is the “Highlight” of the American sporting calendar – SuperDull 53.
The bBBC are showing it live, rather than Football or Cricket or Rugby or Golf or Horse Racing or Formula One.
But bBBC are probably delighted. After all, most of the players tonight will be BAME’s of some description, and apparently two of the cheerleaders are “men”. And I use that word loosely.
NS – SuperDull 53
Correct.
American “Football”, Rounders, Basketball, Ice Hockey.
Have I missed any? All boringus maximus.
The Clinton email saga was more interesting.
I’m being perfectly serious when I say I derive more enjoyment from watching the the DI Fred Thursday two minute trailer for the new series of Endeavour on ITV than I have watching any recent BBC PC dramas.
BBC4 now 90 min Doco on the Great wall of China
Almost silent, no dialogue, no music, just minimal sound to keep the transmitter from autoshutdown
Great picture , and no celebrity waffler, just text boxes popping up on the screen
..Quite calming.
Stew,
That sounds like the same format that was used for the reindeer sleigh program which was actually quite good. No presenter or narration, just occasional text fading in & out. Very little chance for them to work the usual agenda promotion in. Relaxing to watch. The best thing I’ve seen on a BBC channel for about a decade.
Trailer just been on, for Australian drama Safe Harbour
Seems to be about someone rescuing a migrant ship and then someone being cruel to them
.. How did the “far right” BBC ever go for buying a prog like that ?
It bombed miserably in Oz, but it seems they managed to flog it to the ever-gullible beeb, who love that sort of stuff.
Oooh, migrants given a hard time, buy, buy!
Cheap to buy, fills airtime space, continues snowflake message, justifies BBC4: jobs done. What’s not to like?
Beltane, you’ll “get done” for releasing a BBC-state secret.
@TrueToo yes I just answered underneath your QT question from 2 pages back .. Saturday lunchtime
A story deemed newsworthy by the BBC about Lewes FC calling for the prize money for the women’s FA Cup and the men’s FA Cup to be equal:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47107117
Now I have absolutely nothing against women’s sport or Women’s football and I think participation in sport is generally a good thing. One could equally argue, invalidly in my view, that the prize money in all men’s football, worldwide, should be equal or that rugby union and cricket prize money should be, somehow, made to be comparable with that of football. Where would this kind of Utopian Socialist inspired thinking end?
Let us also bear in mind the disparity in standard between men’s and women’s football as indicated by the following:

\\Brexit: Talks on backstop ‘alternative arrangements’//
“Mr Baker, deputy chairman of the Eurosceptic group the European Research Group (ERG), warned on Sunday there was “trouble ahead” for the prime minister.”

Cue, Nat King Cole Song : “There will be trouble ahead…………………….”
