Midweek Open Thread 13 February 2019

Looks like America is getting too dangerous for staff of the Far Left BBC . I think if Americans had any idea about that BBC reporters say about their President , Head of State and Commander in Chief the reception of BBC would be far less folksy …

    9:20 am BBC1 Oh look Jenny Eclair and her mate are plugging their podcast,
    .. just like they were on Clive Anderson’s Radio4 show on Saturday
    …BBC-medialand is so up itself
    ================

    Local radio : ex-science teacher is telling us “Yes of course we need this school Climate strike, it took a 15 year old CHILD Greta Thunberg to motivate adults on climate”
    ..The underinformed BBC local jock is not going to reply that
    .. No, you can read that was ADULTS at a PR firm that USED a 15 year old CHILD
    … empty hall, clever editing etc.

      5pm Radio Lincs came up with a ruse
      they reported police horses were called to the London pupil demo
      and then played a longer clip of that ex-science teacher Geoff Stratford calling for kids to rise up.

      I bet he turns out to be doing PR for them.

      “It appears that shoppers are shopping before Brexit hits, either to stockpile products they worry won’t be available, or in fear of big price increases post-29 March.”

      These days todays in-the-money-pop stars only want to gripe, complain, insult, anyone who thinks we should be set apart from that sinking ship AKA The EU. Suddenly these kind of teens are into politics in a big way. They love Momentum, hate two parent families now that they are pregnant and could afford a nanny but choose to bleed the Benefit system as most of my adult hating squatters as that way they can state: I had a terrible child hood, my parents abused me, mocked me, stopped my pocket money just because I used to like scratching the expensive vehicles in our street and throwing eggs at their windows late at night that way by the time the house holders get up the eggs had dried rock hard (that really made me hate old people) Who are they to come to our house and complain?

        Hi Up2

        See above. This was a BBC ‘What we know’ piece on Assad’s Douma ‘chemical attack’. The BBC made other TV and online reports about the same incident but the one above is a ‘masterpiece’ of inverted commas, posed photographs of ‘gassed’ children, reports from the ‘white hats’, the WHO and its its ‘health cluster partners’ etc.etc. much or at very least most of it now seems to have been manufactured fake news. Personally, I can’t vouch for the truth or otherwise of reports from ‘war zones’ but I didn’t believe this one at the time and I certainly won’t be relying on anything the BBC tells me in the future. There were other news sources available and they were reporting what is now found to be the truth. There’s no honesty in the BBC news departments any more, only agenda and propaganda.

    The reason London and the City didn’t see Brexit coming is because life was plenty good for those folk.
    It’s the same reason Macron didn’t see the yellow vests as a major issue and Hillary thought Trump was a joke.
    They all live in a bubble and deride people who disagree with them as extremists. Problem is the ‘fringe’ is now 40-50% of the population.

      It’s great that the ReichEU is now fighting a war on a number of fronts .

      The Spanish have had enough of importing the third world – as have the Italians . The Hungarians and poles won’t play . The Scandinavians are realising the error of their ways and the French are exporting them to UK knowing that UK is lost .

      So we leave on 29 March
      Spain votes 28 April
      ReichEU elections 25 May .

      With a bit of luck these 3 events will push the ReichEU into either decline or termination . Don’t get me wrong . I’m not anti Europe – every country has its own interests .

    The now extra handsomely remunerated Carrie Gracie graces our screens oncemore as anchor for the BBC News Channel.

    My main complaint is her annoying delivery. Specifically her over-pronunciation coupled with those intermittent, almost whispered, drops in tone – so characteristic of BBC women such as Fiona Bruce. Overall her diction is exaggerated and stilted in its over-practiced artfulness. I would guess she’s been put on a BBC in-house news presention crash course.

      From the article:

      “The study found black Caribbean pupils were twice as likely to be identified as having social, emotional and mental health needs as white British pupils.
      The Oxford University team could not explain the “substantial over-representation” of this group.
      It urged schools to check if discipline policies caused a systematic bias.
      Previous research has looked towards cultural differences, teacher racism and ineffective classroom management as part of the answer.”

      It’s got to be racism, hasn’t it? It never seems to occur that these pupils might have some predisposition towards it, and it would be heretical even to look.

    Woman’s Hour on Friday morning. Jenny Murray interviewing two female barristers – at least one of them – naturally was black. I listened to the radio – so it had to be because it was relevant that the barrister had to tell us her colour. To me, colour should be irrelevant – but not the BBC.
    There was talk about how ‘women supported women’ in the Law. Could you imagine if a man had been so unwise as to suggest that ‘men support men’?
    At the end of the interview Jenny asked what could be done to help women barristers. An example was given of a female barrister breastfeeding her new baby during a trial. Well I can just imagine that her mind was fully on the case. But both women being interviewed agreed that the courts should be more accommodating of mothers in the timing of trials eg finishing early so the barristers could collect their children from school, anticipating the time when court is sitting for a trail so they can arrange child care etc. So these highly paid young women want the courts to finish early so they can get their children from school. Not sure how far away from the courts the schools are – but court houses are expensive to run, heating, lighting, the Clerks, etc and these women want part time courts to enable them to fetch children from school? Also mentioned were cases where the date of the case is within limits, flexible, so that presumably they are slotted in if another case finishes early? They want those stopped too because it is inconvenient for them. All in all, like the NHS, they want the criminal justice system arranged to their convenience – and never mind the cost.

    Sometimes it gets a little tiring, doing the BBC job’s for them. This is especially true when they get a statutory licence fee, and we have to rely on voluntary contributions.

    We hope that readers are as pleased as we are with the news above. It’s not a free trade deal (the Government still insists it can’t negotiate one, even though we have repeatedly published proof that it can), but it’s the clearest demonstration yet that the US is fully behind a post-Brexit Britain.

    I’ve let so many people down with these comments its necessary for me to make this public apology as i don’t want anyone to be shown in a bad light because of my actions.

    I really will conduct myself in a more professional manner and I must remember that the eyes of the MSM will always be on me.

    Hey – whatabout that ? The head of the MI6 says that the return of ISIS terrorists is a threat to the security of Blighty .

    I wonder if that means we ll be hearing traffic reports of delays in Tower Hamlets caused by recent drone strikes on terrorist targets …

    BBC Online News:

    “”What’s It Like To Be Attacked At A Trump Rally?””

    “”The story behind the assault on a BBC cameraman.””

    “”That felt like another crazy moment in the Presidency of Donald Trump. We seem to get them all the time””

    “”…..we didn’t have journalists attacked at political events, even a few years ago””.

    The above were the first words. I couldn’t stomach more bias.

      Amazon, a home grown, company pulls out of NY due to the loony Left, ‘We can’t work in this atmosphere.’
      How bad is that ?

    Brexit does seem to be gaining a real momentum despite the fact that encouraging news for us and bad news for Europe is censored.
    It is inevitable that trade will happen – it always has since back neolithic times.
    Germany, France, Italy and Spain are in some real trouble and the thousand year Reich is stumbling.

      Absolutely agree – the amazing thing is the daily horror the BBC paints is not enough for good things to be happening for UK .

      Imagine if the BBC was fair and objective . And so many people are realising what it has become . Which is a shame because when I was growing up it was worth something

      Very little reporting on EU problems, but so much bad news is across the channel:

      Yellow Vests continuing
      Spain calling early general election as Catalan problem not gone away
      France recalls its ambassador from Italy, this hasnt happened since WWII
      German economy flat-lining

      Meanwhile we get served a daily diet of project fear about the how we will plunge into the Dark Ages unless we stay on board this sinking ship .

    “…will we have to make Andrew Neil Prime MInister?”
    I apologize if I have misunderstood you, but Neil cannot be relied upon on the subject of Islam.

    “Can’t win.” It sounds more like “can’t lose”.
