There are black nations who have their own television broadcasters.
Does their output comprise drama where the middle-aged black guy is always the villain and the white guy always good?
And is the middle-aged black guy always a racist?
If it was a Black Broadcasting Corporation, those poor black licence payers would suffer so much unfair indignity.
So much so, that the BBC would intervene and bring in Panorama.
Eight Labour and three Tories have formed a new group.
They are calling themselves the Independent group.
One policy that unites them is to sabotage Brexit and remain subservient to the unelected beaurocracy in Brussels, as embodied by Mr Juncker, who in a separate news strand was seen unsteady on his feet and sporting a plaster on his face.
OH, THE IRONY.
David Lammy challenges negative stereotypes by posing in a hoody.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47298111
“”I know so many black men doing great things, as postmen, nurses, city traders and fathers. But when these guys put on a hoodie, their success becomes almost invisible.”
He’s a revolting race baiter, shit stirrer and publicity seeker. Also of very limited ability in any domain, so the only way he’ll make a mark and further his career is by endlessly playing the race card. To call him a waste of space would be an insult to empty space.
He even accused papal smoke of being racist. Obviously such an embittered, professional victim is a favourite at the BBC.
Heir to Blair Cameron, July 2006
David “Mastermind” Lammy appears to be suffering from the same affliction that the mindless hitchhikers traveling into dangerous regions have. All the world, apart from their latest bogey men, is a wonderful fairy land full of wonderful liberal loving misunderstood people. I wish him luck with that and hope he doesn’t get hurt.
A long time ago, when working in Brazil, my now wife had a tee-shirt with words that roughly translate as “never put your trust in a smiling cat”. Seems like sound advice.
gb123,
There is a song…
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin
Gee, who would have thought that putting on a garment that obscures one’s face would make them less ‘visible’?
Looks like an identity parade to me but of the two times I’ve been mugged all those involved were black . And I’m a whitee . An uncomfortable fact for the apologist Lammy .
It’s a bit like the hand wringing they used to do about why so many black men are in prison ? Answer – cos they do bad things and get found guilty …
The truth is that virtually any type of person looks menacing in a hoodie, no matter what colour they are. It’s got nothing to do with race, it’s just a threatening style of clothing. Why anyone would choose to wear a hoodie is a mystery to me.
To avoid the CCTV
Exactly. It is why shops ask you to put your hoods down.
My dad is a very successful and effective person and he always made a point when I looked scruffy.
“You look like a sack of sh*t, who is going to give you a job if you look like that?”
And it is true. Look in parliament to either side and the conservatives are generally much more smartly dressed and have taken more care with their appearance; the lefties often look scruffy – why can Corbyn not shave properly? It may not seem a big deal but if you do not take care over basic things like your appearance then maybe you will neglect the bigger stuff as well. Perhaps conservatives do better not because they ‘oppress’ poorer people but because they make an effort, turn up on time and have attention to detail. If someone makes a grammatical error in an interview (I like them ones) or looks scruffy why would you employ him? If he cannot be bothered to talk or dress properly then he probably will not do his job properly either.
Beeb:
“If someone makes a grammatical error in an interview (I like them ones)”
These days they will probably get a job as a BBC continuity announcer. They only seem to employ ragamuffins now.
The apparel oft proclaims the man. Wear a shirt and tie and people treat you with respect, assuming you are employed in a decent profession. Few top jobs require employees to wear a black hoody to work.
Over 95% of ‘muggers’ in London are black. The other 5% are ‘unknown’ because the victim was pushed from behind.
My source of information was a serving Met police officer.
Could be worth a FoI?
Yeah I have been mugged several times and each time the perpetrator has been ‘diverse.’ I wonder if the likes of the BBC constantly telling them white men are wicked played a part? I can’t imagine there ever being a report into this phenomenon somehow.

Bristol Uni academic fraud , brushed under the carpet
Story from Sept 2018
\\ University of Bristol mysteriously lost its senior lecturer, Abderrahmane Kaidi.
His institutional website was wiped out in August 2018. I obtained an internal email which lifts the mystery: Kaidi was namely found guilty of “having fabricated research data”, and resigned with “immediate effect”. //

Like the BBC, Bristol University is well known for introducing fraudulent Climate science experts.
One is called Stephan Lewandowsky, Professor of Psychology, who hosted a “Climate Psychology Conference” at Bristol University. A conference which seemed to conclude that Atmospheric Physicists, Solar Astronomers and Meteorologists should be put in the loony bin, if they didn’t agree with the Psychologists, about climate science. But the Climate scientists got revenge on the Psychologist by mocking his Loony Landings/Climate Science survey. The loony professor produced a scientific paper “NASA Faked the Moon Landing – Therefore (Climate) Science is a Hoax” which claimed that people like Harrison Schmidt, the only scientist to walk on the moon, and who thinks that man-made Climate Change is a Hoax, also thinks that NASA Faked the Moon Landings, but which it is well known, that he obviously doesn’t.
Another Bristol University climate science expert is Marcus Brigstocke, who studied Drama at Bristol University. He failed to complete his Drama course, but went on to produce emotional, tragic and turbulent climate alarmism dramas for the BBC. A self confessed BBC comic genius who gains laughs by mocking anyone who does not agree with his very politically correct opinions on climate, brexit and many other subjects.
I think most of the BBC’s “Best Scientific Experts” must have been educated at Bristol University.
“Educated” is not the word I’d have used…

Good response Bishop
“Repeating nonsense does not make it true”
One of life’s brick walls many in the media are running into.
Especially Adam Boulton.
Brexit.
Our ancestors fought for freedom. The Europeans should remember this.

I had the misfortune to hear a bit of Rhod Sharp this morning. Turns out that Mrs May has been listening to the far-right ERG and that is why poor Anna Soubry had to leave the party! If only she had taken account of the wishes of the 42% and kept us in the customs union, single market, with freedom of movement and paying all the bills!
Any ‘impartial’ journalist would giving any politician that suggested the above a very hard time, how can we leave the EU yet still keep to its rules and pay its bills? As has been said many times before, you can’t be half-pregnant, leave means leave. But then all these varieties of Brexit are a BBC invention that it has been campaigning for since it lost the referendum.
Oh, you will all be glad to know that Rhod Sharp, living in North America, has taken collective responsibility for the failure of an Australian rodent society to keep a few rats in cages. These poor rats, living on one small sea-washed island in the Pacific, haven’t been seen for ten years, AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
I never watch the BBC news on tv but managed to endure a whole episode at 6pm yesterday.
Inevitably they find time for a section on the ‘gender pay gap.’ Of all the things happening in the world does that really merit a lengthy section? It is not like as have not heard all about it umpteen times. I hate how they cover it with all the moronic vox pops with random women saying they feel victimised. Always narrative over facts.
If they must cover it I would prefer five minutes of rigorous analysis: reasons for the gap; gender preferences in jobs; mortalities in jobs; sophisticated explanations for the gap rather than ‘muh, sexism!’ It is moronic and lazy. Anyone can just interview random people who do not understand the issues and ask them what they think. It is a very complex problem – surely the BBC has the wherewithal to do some proper research?
Alas any facts that challenge their straitjacket narratives (immigrants goood, men baaaaaad) are excluded. They treat their viewers like toddlers.

Cheddar cheese will cost 44% because of brexit tarrifs . There will be food shortages . We will all die from starvation – retail trade consortium mafia.
The Independent cluster are busily trying to get fluf out of their belly buttons and may continue for 37? Days with a bit of luck .
Fortunately these soon to be non MPs will make no change to the complexion of votes of Brexit issues .
There are signs, naturally , that the BBC is cheering them on . Let it cheer as they’ll make no difference .
It just removes the deception of hiding behind a manifesto they don’t believe in .
And another thing . Turn your gas boiler off because it’s changing the climate . Please freeze to death to stop climate change – says a BBC news report .
Do know what ? I don’t give a damn .
Not just a BBC news report Fedup, a BBC News Report from Roger Harrabin – and they don’t come any more authentic and better researched than that.
Justine Greening just after 7 a.m. on Today was allowed to say that her dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party was her concern for Social Justice. Her father had been out of work and she knew what that was like. I am sure in the last 10 days I had heard that there more people in work or less unemployed than ever. Martha, keeper of the bees, could have asked if that didn’t mean the Conservatives were doing a good job, but didn’t
How can cheddar cheese be affected by tariffs when it is made here?
Banania
It is a well known fact that cheddar is in Ireland . But it is also twinned with the city of cheddar in New Zealand as well. The bushes from which cheddar comes like moist green climates –
The way the Irish government has behaved during the current brexit deal nonsense they deserve a kicking from their own farmers if we don’t buy their produce any more and can source equally good stuff from elsewhere – a lot cheaper .

BBC, our homegrown equivalent to the promoters of hoax racism and hate in the US.
Carpe Donkum:
The other day the BBC was complaining about the lack of vibrancy in the police force . Well there is good news because it embraces alleged vibrant female paedophiles – namely Supt Novlett Robyn Williams, 54, who is charged with a top level possession of paedo material . ( by the way Novlett really is a name apparently )
This is deemed serious enough to be reported in The Guardian but is not worthy of reporting by the BBC . Touch of the organised child abuse denial syndrome – or Jimmy Saville ..,
Laugh as otherwise it’s despair .
Nice nails. I wonder if he has matching high heels?
Does Rotherham fall under the ‘coverage’ of the West Yorkshire Police? There’s not much diversity in the rape gangs there.
Don’t tell me – she’s a “black” lady?
“Man charged over racist graffiti at Salford flats” according to the BBC website this morning. Someone scrawled “no blacks” at a block of flats, apparently. Tut tut, very naughty, and clearly deserves police action.
But, really, is this the seventh most important item of news in the world today? Because that’s the priority given to it by the BBC.
I used to edit a local rag and, believe me, a graffiti scrawl by some nutter might have merited an inside page filler. Nothing more. Ten a penny vandalism.
What the heck has happened to our news values? Well, we know don’t we. It’s not news, it’s propaganda and agenda driven nonsense.
Meanwhile, not a word anywhere on the website about yesterday’s damning Commons debate about Labour’s institutional anti-semitism. Something that should be aired and shared, but simply ignored.
Oh the irony. The 11 rebels including Anna Soubry will be doing their utmost to stop Brexit and push for….. yes… a second vote. However the calls for them to go back to their electorates for, guess what, a second vote… well NO you can’t do that.
You couldn’t make it up could you !! And none of them get the irony !! Disgusting , self absorbed bunch of crooks .
So, what’s top of the bbc ‘news’ in my in-box? Well, strike a light…

Could Labour and Conservatives see more defections?
The Independent Group, formed this week, already has 11 MPs, but could its membership be boosted by more defections from Labour and the Conservatives? Ex-Tory MP Heidi Allen has said up to a third of her former parliamentary colleagues are fed-up with the party’s direction. And Labour MP Ian Austin has revealed he is thinking “long and hard” about his future.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said the eight MPs who quit his party for the IG should “do the right thing” by resigning and triggering by-elections.
On Wednesday three Conservative MPs quit their party for the IG. Senior Tory MP Dominic Grieve has said he will also leave if there’s a no-deal Brexit.
The IG is now the joint fourth-largest group in Parliament, along with the Liberal Democrats. So how are its members likely to be feeling? Elated? Nervous? Relieved? BBC political reporter Brian Wheeler assesses the situation. And is the formation of the IG a minor tremor or a full-sized political earthquake?
***
So… a lot of ‘could’ and questions. No news.
Maybe they should rebrand as BBC Wish Fulfilment?
Wonder how Chukka Can’t is handling BBC handing over its entire programming airtime to Anna and the Queens of Sliam?
An assessment from Brian, another from the bottomless box of BBC ‘reporters’, is unlikely to answer anything.
So, no change there.
Bloody Shamima Begum !!! Make my blood boil every day i hear these bottom feeding, cash grabbing, media hungry Human Rights Lawyers, spouting their sanctimonious liberal drivel aided and abetted by the FAR LEFT softies at the BBC without challenge.

Sky did a poll and 78% of those polled didnt want her back ….. that should be 100% … theres a frightening amount of soft bas***ds around. Scary.
A Sky poll yesterday found that 79% did not want this terrorist fellow traveller to return to the UK. You would never have guessed this judging by the BBC’s coverage.
“A Sky poll yesterday found that 79% did not want this terrorist fellow traveller to return to the UK”
The other 21% are Muslim and work for the BBC.
Are all bbc ‘news’ posts churned out by a thick AI?

A couple of times this week I’ve heard representatives of that love filled organisation, Hot not Hate, being interviewed on the radio. They often have these types on when there’s been a “racist incident”. I think this was due to some daubing on a black family’s gate, “No blacks”. Unpleasant, unnecessary and idiotic. And, of course, anyone who queries the undiluted wonders of mass immigration is immediately tarred by the same brush.
I’ve noticed that these HnH types always seem to be as intolerant and bigoted as the people they loathe, but when interviewed are always given a very easy ride, never interrupted and treated with the utmost sympathy.
Having listened to a number of these diversity fanatics, I’m beginning to ask myself where they get them from.
One of their frothing at the mouth speakers could have slotted comfortably into Nuremberg in 1930. He sounded as though he was about to explode. He ranted “There is no place in society for opinions like this”. They must be “Stamped out”. And then we were told these attitudes must be “Crushed!” Crikey, what happened to tolerance?
Not much hope on display here but plenty of hate!
He concluded his rant by saying “It’s incredible that we still have these sort of attitudes in the year 2019.”
You know, he’s right!
I was beginning to think it was 1984…
Jussie Smollet then?
Tut, tut, tut oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
gaxvil, R5 news bulletin reported this just now via their unique commitment to trust and impartiality. A black spokesperson was on to say “…for him to be charged today is detrimental to people in the community…”
How about for him to build an elaborate lie for a month was detrimental to truth and honesty?
Ah following that… breakdancing is being considered by the IOC as a new ‘sport’ for Paris 2024 Olympics. (Alongside surfing, climbing and skateboarding. But breakdancing is what gets the beeb giddy with excitement).
Smollet and what’s really freaky on US media people are crying – saying he’s been tried by public opinion and he’s a civil rights hero!
The level of derangement is concerning and the UK is not far behind.
What is it with this ‘You cannot make a person Stateless’ thing by removing their Passport? How come, then, that our Government makes about 8% of the UK population ‘Stateless’ every year and then demands money to reinstate them? And if they do not renew their Passport, do they continue to be Stateless?
And this ‘British Citizen’ concept. Where did that come from?
I thought that we are EU Citizens – until 29 March 🙂 2019 – if we are British or beyond that date if a citizen of another Member State but are SUBJECTS of Her Majesty the Queen from birth to death, if born in the UK, or from applying for and receiving British nationality until death.
Absolutely spot on Up2snuff – Does this mean that the ‘Windrush Generation’ are in effect stateless ?
Snuffy has been Stateless, apparently, for nearly two years!
Is there a Human Rights lawyer who will take on without fee my case for a large sum in compensation?
Is it true that the last time treason laws were used was in 1946 to execute a NAZI broadcaster? A broadcaster? Perhaps Beeby collaborators should start to behave lest the worm turns.
Given the Lord at the rotting head, wise.
Go on, guess who’s on the QT panel tonight……
Hitler, Ghengis Khan. Torquemada. Robespierre. A blue flag with gold stars. And Anna Soubry? For balance.
Damn the BBC really loves soubry . Which out of the five represents the democratic majority this week?
I didn’t realise that soubry is / was a barrister – makes sense – someone who takes money to lie on behalf of another .
Her constituency is just under a 100 miles from Chester where she will be getting her appearance money again on QT tonight .
Also if you need your blood pressure raised Guido has a montage of promises by the lovely Heidi Allen on the site .
And then they wonder why politics is getting more extreme . Always a price to pay .
I think a little bit of research into just how many MPs are/were barristers, solicitors or involved in the legal system in any way might provide a salutary shock – and raise the entirely valid question: Why should we trust people trained and certified in duplicity and usury?
A relative of mine who’s fairly astute of these matters tells me that the new Independent group of MPs have registered a business address in the Bahamas so that any money they receive ( EU ?) won’t be brought to light . Anyone know anything more ?
Something which no one in the media appear to have picked up on about the new so called independant group of allegadly dissaffected MPs.
Notice the age of these MPs, if they choose to resign or are deselected and cannot stand for re-election they will not be eligible for the severance pay an MP who loses their seat will receive. This figure amounts to £33 000 they become eligible to receive on leaving their party and then losing their seat.
This is not just about MPs taking a principled stand, it is them feathering their nests before the inevitability of losing their positions.
Worth watching
Brian of London – 11 mins.
How can any politician seriously claim that a group containing Anna Soubry is about ‘a gentler form of politics’?
How can Jeremy Vine listen to that talk and not choke?
Not BBC, LBC, but I had to laugh at irony-free Anna Soubry (standing in for ‘the wonderful James O’Brien’ “big brilliant shoes to fill’) as she matronised a female caller with an opening ‘Hello darling’ and a closing ‘All right, love’.
Look upon this as a job interview as she will certainly be in need of gainful employment very soon.
Duplicitous and ever so slightly deranged, her and no brain will make a wonderful couple.
Remoaners / MSM (same thing i suppose) view that ANYONE who voted to leave is Far Right really gets my goat. Like the response states, 17.4 million voted leave, all far Right ????? Really ??? On yer bike sonny Jim !!!
Doobster
yes I thought that when I heard it on R4 this morning. It seems that because Labour have gone to Far Left the media have to balance it so anyone who agrees with Brexit or a party trying to deliver it (albeit poorly) is by default Far Right..so to do what the electorate voted for is now Far Right in the eyes of the liberal left…
Anyone else fed up with MPs moaning about being victimised rather than getting on with their job..seems they got into politics to be wind bags and not doers…
This country is F—k-d unless we get some change in MPs…
Me either.

A lovely story which I’m sure the BBC won’t be covering about a disgraced female copper who was at the centre of a scanda, given a final written warning has now been appointed to Oldham Council on a salary of £122000 !
The non job has a gobbeldy gook description of “oversee a project to encourage police and other public bodies to work more closely together.”
and
“carrying out an important role contributing to public services and integration across the public sector”
and
she has the “strategic lead at Oldham council for public health and also for something called the Thriving Communities programme” to promote the use of public space, exercise, healthy living and healthy eating.
Thriving Communities also includes “Placed Based Integration sites” where “multi-agency teams are “engaging the community daily on deep rooted system wide issues like anti-social behaviour, trafficking, and community cohesion.”
You know that when the Daily Mirror owned and labour backing Manchester Evening News describes it as “something called”, they are being about as disparaging as they can get!
Just remember though when I was discussing how poorly paid our MPs are, that this is a job in an insignificant Northern town and it isn’t even the top job. She is being paid nearly as much as the Prime Minister and the Shadow Prime Minister for a job which even the Labour supporters can’t even describe.
Following an earlier comment, there really should be a commission set up to investigate pay levels in local government. The number of CEOs pocketing half a mil or so is shameful enough, but all the minions, the departmental heads, the managers and ‘specialists’ voting themselves truly indecent amounts of taxpayers money behind closed doors – while raising two fingers and blaming the tories for ‘austerity’ and ‘savage cuts’ deserves proper exposure.
What a project for the BBC/Guardian eh? Except they are part of the problem of course…
I work for a Local Authority. The sheer amount of “managers”, “heads of service” directors etc is a complete and utter joke.
I kid you not, they have just (on the very quiet) at the top level had a re-structure and several have awarded themselves new fancy titles and pay increases to match. The salaries for these folk and what they actually do are eye watering. Indeed, there is such ill feeling in the “normal” workforce towards them and what they have done i am surprised the local paper hasn’t been contacted to do some more digging on how it was done. Something isnt right.
Our Chief Exec is on something like £220K per year and in his expenses claimed off the tax payer is £288 for snow tyres … £220K per year and you sponge off the tax payer for tyres …. criminal. He even had a decent bill for Costa coffee.
I work in one, but you can easily see why Councils get a bad name. I only stick at it for beer and skittles money !!!!
Doobster78
Ha ha. It makes me laugh The idea among the left is that the greedy capitalists extract all the money from the workers and supported by the Tories manage to keep it all and force the workers to work even harder for less money or starve.
Meanwhile these bureaucracies, appointed to serve the public, turn out to be the replacement of the old Victorian style capitalist.
But try telling these obvious facts to the Marxist professors in the yoonies..
Managers want change so more managers are needed . Wheels on the bus go round and round .
See BBC for case study
Twitter points out that a year ago a tweet says she was already doing that job. dated March 2018
The extraordinary salary makes me think of nepotism or corruption.
It seems to that in 2018 she was already doing that job , but seconded thru GM Police
then on Jan 1st she retired from the police
.. and began the job directly
I jus found out that her father – a retired Church of Socialism vicar was a councillor for Labour in the town – co-incidence or what ?
Noticed Ms Rudd’s comments on BBC News this aff – very telling – bet she jumps ship soon!
Nah – she wants the top job . And now she’ll just be another gang member in dah remainer hood .

jezzbolla doing a fine job of cementing his core vote
“Meanwhile Mr Corbyn, who is currently in Brussels to meet with EU leaders….”
Why?
To be told the terms for our surrender.
And why was Starmer there YESTERDAY by himself holding talks with EU officials?
Sticking his oar in again.
He is desperate for an EU job.
Unfortunately for him Grieve has a better chance.
Begum : R4 2pm rebroadcast their 2017 drama about a returning Jihadi bride
There’s an offchance that they already had the drama scheduled cos the R4 schedule is usually laid out more than 2 weeks in advance.
It seems quite sympathetic, like as if it was written to explain the girls POV
eg It was so difficult to get away from the ISIS guys, but she bravely did.
The police then show her a twitter account full of radical tweets mixed with tweets that appear to be her eg photos of her.
She then admits thst Tweets were hers.
The CPS then decide that since she was young and groomed she will be prosecuted if she agrees to take a police warning, no travel and to go on the Prevent Programme.
… It’s mentioned that she had done the Duke Of Edinburgh Award and had planned to become a doctor.
The father is of course the least radical Muslim ever.
“Rida, a radicalised Glasgow Asian teenager”
Or
“Rida, a Muslim teenager” ??
Asian ?
I cant quite see from the image if she is Japanese or Korean
The drama doesn’t mention much about Islam
.. no mention of prayers, festivals etc.
The drama ending was a sudden reveal, that she has stretchmarks.
You See she’d given birth in ISIS land so the only way she could get out alive was to leave the baby there.
…. So all the listeners had a cry in sadness.
And of course Flabbott wants Jemima Puddle-Duck Beg’em to be given a second chance… to murder some of us presumably.
Thoughtful
Good riddance to bad rubbish, snidily sniping from the sidelines and giving succour to all those who have been actively working to undermine our negotiating position with the EU.
Sweden : Free Speech
Leeds woman married an Egyptian , had a daughter in 2007
2011 They all go to visit his family in Egypt …he and his family seize the child and the Leeds woman was forced to come home without her daughter.
The man came back to UK , refused to bring the child, so was jailed for 2 years , despite that his family still refused and he was let out.
“Child refugee bill doubles”
Councils spent £78m in 2014
then £152m in 2017
Don’t worry the its all paid by the magic unicorns that pay green subsidies .. not the taxpayer.
Stew
That’s s lot of shaving cream and razors for the ‘ boys’
Stew
Which for the record works out at £55,000 per child per year.
We can all feel suitably virtuous as we drive through the potholes to get to the pre-opening queue at the GP surgery in order to see a doctor, while our bins get emptied once a month and our aged parents get no support.
BBC bias against Brexit off the charts, according to a News-watch survey. Ofcom complicit in the great con trick. See link here….

Ed – I’ve been predicting it’s gonna get worse . I’m finding it easier to keep radio and TV off but it’s a need to know what the smug Far Left enemy and its allies are trying to do .

Yorkshire Post : NFU warns on No Deal
FFS farming areas voted Leave
Seems to me that with its female president etc the entryism of the NFU was completed and the metroLib snowflakes took it over
..Full on Global Warming alarmism etc.
now anti Brexit
ReichEU subsidies – give aways- bribes – using UK tax money – of course the NFU are remainers – they always have done .
A reckoning on Agriculture post brexit with a bit of luck . Screw the frog farmers and fish stealers
Speaking of fish, here’s why fishing should not be in the Withdrawal Agreement
“The best that the UK’s fisheries can expect is that the Withdrawal Agreement fails to be concluded and we leave the EU with a clean Brexit.”
I was unfortunate enough to catch a few minutes of John Humphrys interrogating Spreadshit Phil this morning.
At the end, Humphrys was inviting Hammond to have a go at the Defence Secretary, who had said that when HMS Queen Elizabeth is fully commissioned, he would like her to lead a task group on a freedom of navigation operation through the South China Sea. Several Royal Navy warships have already done this, as China is trying to annexe the South China Sea illegally by building artificial islands and then claiming territorial waters.
This is an important point of international law, and a good use for our new carrier when she is fully up and running. It will demonstrate that Britain, post-Brexit (we hope), is still a major player in world affairs, with the military force to back up our diplomacy if necessary.
Except that isn’t quite how Humphrys put it.
No, according to him, we are sending a “gunboat” out to the Pacific, then he corrected himself and admitted it was an aircraft carrier, but one which he claimed the Chinese could sink in “five minutes flat”.
I would love the BBC to treat a serious issue in a serious way. The Royal Navy is a crucial part of our defences, and a British aircraft carrier sailing the Pacific is a significant thing, which has rarely happened since we left Singapore in 1971. But for Humphrys, it was just an excuse to get an argument going between the Defence Secretary and the Chancellor, and a way to run down the Royal Navy with facile talk of “gun boats” being sunk by the Chinese “in five minutes”.
This was far from the worst piece of infantile and anti-British nonsense which you will hear from the Beeb, but it annoyed me. It seemed to me as if Humphrys, safe in his studio on £650,000 a year, never even thought for a second how he was belittling and patronising the 1,000 British sailors who will sail on HMS Queen Elizabeth on her maiden voyage to the Pacific. No, they are all just expendable mugs on a gun boat.
Humphrys is a typical overpaid stuck up BBC tosser. I am glad he is finally leaving, but I know he will replaced with someone worse.
Yes and come Brexit or no Humphrys is financially and physically secure.
He’s never had any real responsibility – like the rest of his pals whose job it is only comment, question and tittle tattle.
Their disappearance would hardly be noticed, their contribution to our existence dubious and consequently their worth negligible and at £650,000 overvalued by a factor of ten at least.
R4 Every day next week has a lunchtime prog presented by an MP
Guess Tory or Labour ?

I’m guessing Comrade Corbyn won’t be visiting the Jewish grave yard with Nazi graffiti plastered over it on his way back from doing a Chamberlain with the drunks in brussels
Or did he ?
It’s beyond extraordinary, but somehow not even remotely surprising. Our aged Marxist leader of Her Majesty’s opposition wants terrorist, Jihadi bride, Shamima Begum to be allowed back to Blighty. Well, why wouldn’t he?
It was only last summer when the president of the United States visited these shores and the bearded old hypocrite was screeching about the visit being “shameful.” “This is a stain on our democracy, the people have spoken. We don’t want him here.”
Alongside Compo we had wee Owen Jones, London’s runt Muslim mayor, The Guardian, The BBC and endless thousands of well heeled lefty pseuds, parading around Westminster virtue signalling for all they were worth.
But a Jihadi terrorist who thinks the Manchester slaughter of the innocents was justified…
Welcome home!
Corbyn is NOT a Marxist, that honour goes to Theresa May !
Momentum has been funded in no small part by the Son of the British Union of Fascists Max Moseley !
Here is a link to the Fascist Manifesto devised and written by Mussolini read it and weep , because it is more or less a carbon copy of Labours current manifesto.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascist_Manifesto
Just because the lefts revisionists have written the facts about Fascism out of history doesn’t mean you have to accept them – the truth is out there go find it !
I think he wants her a trophy guest of honour at the Labour Party Conference .

“ brexit could affect commuter trains”
It’s logic discontinuity time at the bBBC.
A 16 year old boy is found guilty of the murder of a little girl, aged 6.
He cannot be named for legal reasons (under age).
Yet the Far Left want to reduce the voting age to 16..
The incoherence of this does not yet appear to have permeated into the marxists at the BBC editorial team.
But then again, maybe it has, and it has been parked in the inconvenient pile.
BTW Twitter said months ago his name was circulated, and a woman was prosecuted for naming him.
All claimed he’s local w
Mussolini wanted to lower the voting age in the Fascist manifesto.
I see the star of QT has dropped off the guest list. BBC probably couldn’t organise an audience with the right number to supply rapturous applause in time.
Beltane .
Saw your comment after I posted mine . Could be worried about her mental state – as I said hear earlier it’s only 90 miles from her constituency so what’s the excuse ?
