    Just watching the new Alan Partridge show on BBC. They have been given an open goal in the world cup final in the 90th minute and they have kicked it over the bar. A complete waste of 30 minutes it’s gone the way of all BBC programmes it’s got it’s share of BME on screen time it doesn’t work…..the North Norfolk Digital was hilarious they couldnt keep thier hands off the format……another nail in the BBC coffin for the sake of diversity.

      i agree about the Alan Partridge show.What a load of crap, cannot say anymore than that.Totally unfunny, thought i would watch till the end and see if it improved but no it went into typical BBC rubbish. Wont be wasting 30 minutes of my life watching again. i cant believe Coogan was happy with the program. He must be desperate to get back in with the BBC playing to thier tune.

      The police are very rapidly becoming the alien occupying force they always tried not to be .

      They’ve always depended on public support but how can they be supported when things like that are done in broad daylight .

      I really hope that a civil action goes forward against the thug who did that to a man with a bible . I’d love to know what Peace he was breaching .

      Maybe the Muslims should have been arrested for threatening a breach of the peace .

        Fed,
        I’m still smarting from my incident in October 2017 when two ‘officers’ arrived in the darkness to discuss with me my use of the word, “muzzies” as reported to them by a snitch. I no longer support the police and would, as a true citizen, do anything to thwart anything connected to their now one-sided biased role in the criminal justice system.
        I’ll just take a moment to repeat my words of warning: NEVER INVITE THEM IN TO YOUR HOUSE. TO DO SO, GIVES THEM THE POWER TO SEARCH. KEEP THEM AT THE DOOR OR, AS AN ALTERNATIVE, TELL THEM YOU WILL GO TO THEIR STATION (ACCOMPANIED) FOR THEM TO ASK THEIR QUESTIONS THERE.
        If they refuse to leave your property, ask if they are carrying any sprays, tazers, asp. If yes, the civil law concept of trespass becomes criminal, aggravated trespass subject to a Citizens Arrest. Do it.

          @G Apparently the James Goddard thing shows you should never accept their pre-charging conditions about releasing you.
          Because he agreed to bail conditions even though they hadn’t charged him , they were able to impose *punitive* bail conditions on him.
          Experts had he not agreed to bail, the police, would have imply have to let him go anyway, cos they weren’t ready to charge him.

    Brexit was overtly referred to in Shetland tonight. The storyline is people trafficking -, and Romanian girls being brought into Britain to marry Pakistani men so they can gain an EU passport – before ‘things’ get harder. Actually its clearly a side of trafficking that happens, but I hadn’t give it much thought before.

    This is a copy of the text I sent to my MP:

    XXXXXXXX, I am contacting you to express my concern, nay fear, that Brexit and the will of the British People will be thwarted by the anti-democrats in the UK Parliament. I used to be a member of the Conservative Party for many years and held some minor positions in my local party. I used to canvass and drop leaflets many times. I even once stood for council. I say this to let you know I am a true Conservative and regard myself as a moderate.

    I have voted Conservative in all General Elections (except for 2010 and 2015 when I voted UKIP). I have nearly always voted Conservative at the local level too but am informing you that if we don’t have a true Brexit then I may never vote Conservative again. I realise that you are a Brexiteer and as such I could easily vote for you on a personal basis, but if the EU-extremists in Parliament prevent democracy from happening then you will never get my vote while you represent the Conservatives. I’m sure there are millions like me, and even if it lets Labour in by the back-door then your EU-extremist colleagues and Mrs May’s handling of this would be to blame, not we Brexiteers. The Conservatives will probably be out of office for 20 years, although it wouldn’t matter as we would still be taking our orders from Germany.

    Please tell your colleagues that most will lose their seats at the next election if they allow true Brexit to fail. Thank you

    The Panodrama video .

    It gets better the further in you watch . Considering Tommy Robinson doesn’t have the resources or university training that the BBC types have , it’s good . Very very good .

    So how can it be distributed and everyone made aware of it ?

      @Nibor I am tired and don’t want to say anything rash
      – Often “truth will out”
      – And so far TR’s one step at a time approach has done OK
      …He was illegally jailed and he weathered that one
      – Generally one bides ones time and you take opportunities when they come up, and stay within the law.

      I wonder if FB/BBC needed ban TR precisely cos his video was going to go viral on Facebook

      I will tell Maxi for free that the TR vid has one weakness.. the fired banker, it was claimed he was just fired for expressing a few views, Wasn’t he the leader of Generation Identity UK ? And isn’t that ethno-nationalist ?
      ..the TR doco shouldn’t have made him out to be a random victim.

      However one would start by reading the Breitbart story

      and this Tim Pool video (and Tim Pool is kind of anti-Tommy)

        SG,
        If anyone had suspicions about the media operating in concert up to now, these events have proven absolutely conclusively they are. Along with Soros, the Globalist/US Deep State, EU and all its leaders (including Treason May), the enemy comes into view. No doubt in my mind: it’s them against us and until they are stopped, permanently, any successes in the war will be piecemeal.

      Nick Ferrari plans to talk about TR’s Facebook banning this morning.

      I would urge Twitter users to ask whether he will be talking about Panodrama, or whether he will ignore it altogether like the BBC News At Ten managed last night, as the media closes ranks.

      In my view it is the offer to fabricate sexual allegations that is the worst, though the media possibly thinks the greatest crime is John Sweeney referring to homosexuals as “woofters”.

    Another hatchet job on Tommy Robinson on LBC. Resident “right wing” wind bag, Nick Ferrari, putting the boot in. He’s interviewed a militant Muslim who agrees that TR should be banned (very sympathetically) and a supporter of TR, who struggled to get a word in. Surprise, surprise!
    Unfortunately for the podgy parasitic lard arse, his callers, thus far, are all on Tommy’s side.
    It’s always refreshing to hear the reasonable opinions of my fellow countrymen and to compare them with the received bigotry of the media.
    Strange though that this ban comes in a day after his Panodrama event in Manchester, don’t you think?
    Maybe not…

      I heard it. I’d earlier sent a Tweet to Lardarse asking if he’d manage to talk about TR without mentioning Panodrama. He evidently felt that was a challenge which he rose to perfectly. As I’d anticipated, the media closed ranks. And I include the likes of Guido here. They’re all happy for false sexual allegations to be made if you don’t like the person who is being falsely accused.

      As for the interview itself, it was initially promising when Lardarse asked the Muslim activist for an example of what TR had said, and he couldn’t at first. Eventually he came up with a lame example which TR’s supporter attempted to point out was misrepresenting what TR said. However Lardarse spoke all over him in a manner that said to me “I’m not interested, he’s guilty because he’s Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon”.

      I have to say that by this time I was shouting at the radio, “Stop arguing over hearsay, just put the effing video up on your website and listeners can decide for themselves”.

    Flew in one ear and out the other, as it fell under my two basic rules about print media reports on Trump:
    1) Never ever believe a single word from anyone from the WP.
    2) Never ever believe a single word from anyone from the NYT.
    These two have only one objective, which they follow blindly: get Trump impeached.
    Anything they have to say on any other matter, along with CNN, BBC etc, can be entirely discounted until confirmed by a variety of other sources worldwide.

    I took it for granted from day one, that a hidden EU objective in the ‘Brexit negotiations’ would be an attempt to dislodge NI from the rest of the UK and work towards Irish ‘reunification’.
    The more the EU claim they do not want to ‘punish’ Britain, the less I believe them.
    I wouldn’t believe a word uttered by Juncker, Tusk, Weiland or Vehofstadt, et al, in principle, as UK departure weakens the EU, especially financially, and they will do all they can to prevent it or damage the UK if it does actually leave. Deceit will be their No1 strategy, cos the stakes are really big.
    You can bet your bottom dollar that Varadkar, Sinn Fein etc have sensed a BIG opportunity here. They obviously won’t mention it, but this is politics and politics is about power (forget morals entirely).
    For Ms May too, it will be all about power. About the only question that remains is whose side she is actually on. (I would have trusted her a little more had she now let those ministers making threats, go ahead and resign. Can’t think they would have been stupid enough to join Chuka’s/Shuker’s little group of ‘independents’, bound for the dustbin of history. but once again: weakness?))

      fnw, generally agree with you but the UK>EU finance thing, I think, is insignificant. You would be correct in saying ‘our departure weakens the EU financially if the UK was in the Euro’ but it is not. The other net-contributor States will have to find £22bn divided between four or six.

      That is small beer in State spending terms. £2bn can be found down the back of sofas in the UK’s big spending Ministries. While most other n-c States may exercise rather more prudence than the profligate UK, they have, IIRC, similar economies and similar size spends.

      The target of course for after our departure will be Luxembourg and their tax dodging. That will be a popcorn moment to behold, once we are out.

        Is £22 billion the Withdrawal (Surrender) Agreement amount? Most commentators think the £39 bn which keeps being mentioned is the tip of the iceberg, particularly if Treasoner May signs the WA as the EU will tell us what they want, and isn’t our gross ‘contribution’ meant to rise to £23 billion next year and rising? If we go it means no more money to create Polish factories and jobs.

      Yes, Stew, the fact that there are so few LGBT couples in Scotland adopting children is certainly a burning question as well as a national disgrace. What is the country of John Knox playing at?
      But something has been bothering me for a long time about the B bit of LGBT and if anyone can help me I would be grateful. If bisexuals should have equal rights like the rest of us, shouldn’t they be the one group that is allowed to marry two people, one of each sex? After all, if they can only marry one person, there could be another part of their identity that is being denied sexual expression, which to the progressive mind is of course a great evil, or they could have formed an additional sexual relationship that is not being recognised by the state, which to the progressive mind must be some kind of bigoted discrimination. Shouldn’t the proscription on bigamy be lifted for at least this one group? And if each bisexual wanted to live in the same house with both their spouses, wouldn’t the minimal bisexual marital unit turn out in practice to be at least a foursome? Could that domestic set-up even work?
      As you can see, I like to try to understand the positions of my ideological enemies and think things through to their logical conclusion but I often end up in a tangle. Please help me, someone.

    Just when are our ‘leave’ leaders going to do something?

    In Parliament the remainers must be cock a hoop because absolutely everything is going their way.
    Concession after concession given to the eu, a reMAYner pm, cabinet and speaker with most of the so called ‘honourables’ all fighting against the democratic vote to leave the eu.

    We have the likes of JRM who, although knowledgeable is far too polite to actually do anything, lots of so called brexiteers like Leadsom and Gove who are ineffectual and only a few like Bridgen and Redwood who actually try to get the referendum vote carried out.

    We have almost nobody doing anything for us.
    Shows like QT with 4 remoaners against 1 leaver are the norm for all the media.
    Not one pro Brexit program ever.
    Project fear.
    Continuous lies broadcast such as May saying her deal is the Brexit we voted for when it is absolutely not.
    Hiding all the horrors of staying in.

    Where are our voices in all this.
    We are going down with a whimper.
    Where is the fire and fury.
    When will we start the fight back.
    Revenge in 2022 at a general election may be sweet but the remoaners could well have us stitched up by then and it would be a hollow victory removing the likes of Rudd when she and her conspirators have denied the Brexit we voted for.

    Not only that, media like Facebook is steadily removing anyone not on the left so our views are getting even less publicity day by day.

    When will the pendulum swing back in our favour.
    The longer this goes on the more bloody will be the fight back.

      EG,
      Yes, a dearth of significant Brexiteers appearing on our far left Marxist State Broadcasters air waves (has the likes of Daniel Hannan et al. passed away?) I concluded a while back that they may not be at fault. Could be our, “Most Trusted” did not invite them to participate in any debate or balance the news. That’s true Marxism for you. Vote for a small ‘c’ and that’s what you get.

    Pug, Brilliant, this is so true and the BBC should be held to account for their blatant biased reporting on it. And what is so appalling is that the backstop (in my humble opinion) by its very nature of carving Northern Ireland off from the rest of the UK is in itself completely in breach of the GFA.
    The BBC’s ‘PUSH OUT OUR AGENDA AS NEWS’ formula has done u told damage.

    Norman Smith on News at One reveals the depths to which Chris Williamson is happy to descend for his Momentum audience – except that the video clip got clipped just before the prolonged and enthusiastic applause which greeted his anti-Semitic bile – because that might have revealed too vividly where Momentum and its brownshirt loyalties lie.
    But what’s new? Momentum founder Jon Landsman, a Jew, is more than happy to renounce his loyalties and heritage in order to pander to the increasing levels of muslim involvement in local and party politics, and the bloc votes they represent. That, more than any other factor, is the reason for the dramatic rise in anti-Semitism throughout the UK, but it simply doesn’t do to say so. Not in the media, anyway.
    The same moral duplicity applies to Brexit, in particular the Irish border situation so succinctly explained by Pug yesterday. But another aspect has also slipped through when, in the BBC finance text pages, the reason for the dramatic rises in Sterling against dollar and euro is apparently due to the possibility of an extension to Article 50.
    No it isn’t, it’s due to the vastly overvalued euro coming ever closer to collapse, the cliff-edge recession of the German economy, the increasing risk of Italy opting out of the euro, and the imminent continuation of orchestrated civil disobedience in France. And while Donald Trump continues to promote the increasing likelihood of stronger US/UK trade ties. That’s why the £ is doing well – but don’t expect to hear it on the BBC.

      PS. BBC added that the £ slipped back later. No it didn’t, it continued to rise and has done so throughout the day – euro trading rate currently stands at 1.17 to the £ and the $ at 1.33.

    Maybe they miss Kim waving his nukes around although Pakistan / India are trying to fill that gap. That could cause some ‘global warming’ and then some to be sure.

      Tommy isn’t the only one to fave concerted action to silence him and he won’t be the last. The whole Globalist elite are determined to silence any and all dissent from their world view. We can see how effective they are in the USA where evidence that elite their tried to mount a coup to remove President Trump is overwhelming but there is little reporting of it . instead Trump gets it in the neck at every opportunity for stories which are fictitious and the MSM know that they are. The elite are rushing to ensure that social media is under their control in the same as the MSM is. This happens right across the West .
      Democracy has long since been overturned and in its place we have an oligarchy which is self perpetuating. When people realise that their votes counts for nothing what are their options? But a crucial question is , if the MSM is part of the ruling elite and if social media is also firmly in the elite’s control , how will the people even know they are living in an oligarchy?

    A couple of weeks ago I posted that if Brexit happens it will be in large part because MPs who would like it not to , are scared of the reaction of their constituents if they vote against it. I thought how grateful I was for FPTP .
    But i should now add to that , that if Brexit doesn’t happen or we only get a Brino , then I will be supporting PR for our UK elections. I know many on this site have argued that for years, With PR UKIP could have had 50 plus MPs and Brexit would be safe. I have stuck by the Tories in every domestic election for the past forty odd years but the time has come to abandon them. Not just because of their attempts to sabotage Brexit but also because of their support for endless migration from the third world , which to my mind is an existentialist threat to our way of life. But with FPTP there is very little chance of any new party winning power but with PR and the consequent fracturing of the stranglehold of the main parties , we could vote for politicians who would oppose migration and , in the inevitable coalitions that PR produces , they would influence out of all proportion to their number. We might begin to get what the people really want.
    On another tack I am very keen to watch the next Olympic women’s events with all these trans competitors winning gold silver and bronze in just about every event. I’m sure that the BBC will be seeking out a trans presenter and preparing the ‘ narrative’ as to why having biological males competing in women’s events is a good thing. I do hope that the Olympic committee doesn’t introduce a trans gender category of competitor who compete for their own medals so we would have Olympic champions in men’s, women’s and transgender events. It would spoil all the fun.

    Interesting that all the time Libmedia have been concerned about BAME students at Oxford and Cambridge, they failed to tell us that the total number of British students there keeps falling
    .. as the unis recruit better paying foreign students
    7% fall in 10 years
    So if ten years ago 1,000 Brits got in … that would mean that 850 should be white British and 150 British BAME of that 30-40 should be black British
    So the media have been bitching about a handful of blacks missing out

    but if the same 1000 had applied last year the 7% drop means 930 would have got in , So about 60 white and 10 BAME miss out.

    Funding of the bbc by compulsorily subscription is all well and good for them but this new venture screams, desperation and fear.
    Without the TV tax they would need to operate in the real World where people are happy and willing to pay for their content.
    I just wonder how many have a license but watch little or no bbc ?
    An ever increasing number I reckon and with ITV up against it they will never be able to compete with the likes of NETFLIX.
    Unless of course they can up the license by around ten fold?
