    “It is clear that there is no apetite in the country for the UK leaving the EU without a deal”. So said Laura Coonsberg yesterday evening. Followed by the female, Adler who smiled benevolently visibly relieved at the developments yesterday.
    Its so reassuring to know that the likes of that duo and all behind them employed by our very own Marxist State Broadcaster has the 17.4 million who voted ‘out’, at heart.

      “Crossing Divides”

      Seem to remember the Bible says something like: “can two walk together if they disagree [meaning faith]?” Can’t Think of the verse, and maybe I’m a few words amiss by accident, and sheer forgetfulness?

        Amos 3 New English Translation (NET Bible)
        Every Effect has its Cause

        3
        Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the Lord is proclaiming against you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up from the land of Egypt:
        2 “I have chosen you alone from all the clans of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.”
        3 Do two walk together without having met?
        4 Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey?
        Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something?
        5 Does a bird swoop down into a trap on the ground if there is no bait?
        Does a trap spring up from the ground unless it has surely caught something?
        6 If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear?
        If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible?
        7 Certainly the sovereign Lord does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
        8 A lion has roared! Who is not afraid?
        The sovereign Lord has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy?

        Crossing Divides is essentially a story about how ‘White British female’ Casey learnt how to accept Waj (female of un-specified ethnicity and therefore a ‘true Brit’ as she doesn’t have a label, which she would if she was ‘foreign’). Waj however believes in maintaining difference. But would she ever consider meeting Casey’s male friends?

          Jim,

          In my own opinion I think the KJVs Kings James Version of Amos 3 explains it a bit better:

          “Can two walk together, except they agree?”

          And bearing in mind that the writer is speaking especially about rebellious Israel (Jews) verse 1, it therefore must mean that the people Israel must only walk (agree) with those of their own faith.

          The word, “Walking” in many places of scripture means to “pleasing God” or “beliefs”…..as King David was praised for wanting a heart like God. Hence, Jesus is not called the Son of Abraham, or the Son of Jacob, but The Son of David.

          Then again I could be wrong.

      Get to the grass roots of born and bred Rotherham folk, and talk to the old miners who toiled in the local coal mines, their wives and families, and get their views, particularly on how the Asians and the black leather jacketed eastern Europeans have taken over their once proud town. There would be more than a few 4 letter expletives coming out in response.

      Maybe its because those poorly dressed BBC reporters are stood out in the rain so much? Obviously Norman (auntie) forgot to use his or her or its BBC issue umbrella.

        The BBC chooses targets and will do anything to ‘get’ them.

        That they are funded by compulsion to do this is something those in government might like to reflect upon, as I will be reminding of it as part and parcel of many issues of concern come the next election.

    Anyone else listening to the confessions of Trumps lawyer ‘Cohen’ think they bore a stirking and disconcerting similarlity to the confessions in Orwells 1984 ?

    “Among the last survivors were three men named Jones, Aaronson, and Rutherford. It must have been in 1965 that these three had been arrested. As often happened, they had vanished for a year or more, so that one did not know whether they were alive or dead, and then had suddenly been brought forth to incriminate themselves in the usual way. They had confessed to intelligence with the enemy (at that date, too, the enemy was Eurasia), embezzlement of public funds, the murder of various trusted Party members, intrigues against the leadership of Big Brother which had started long before the Revolution happened, and acts of sabotage causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people. ”

    ” No one who had once fallen into the hands of the Thought Police ever escaped in the end. They were corpses waiting to be sent back to the grave. “

      Dear BBC, when chasing new viewers please do not forget that most of the people paying your licence fee desire unbiased reporting of news and quality programming, not an endless fascination with PC drivel, gender politics and lowest common denominator garbage. You used to be great and you can be again, please don’t let it all slip away.

      That last sentence errs on the optimistic, though, at best.

    I thought, funny. Funny, I thought.

    For the first time in ages I listened to the Afternoon Drama on R4 today. It was a repeat, it wasn’t very good – wooden acting, unbelievable dialogue, poor direction and production – and I had this strange feeling I was being propagandised on the subject of euthanasia. It certainly came across as a tract promoting mercy killing.

    Then came Money Box Live with Louise Cooper. The subject: late payment by bigger businesses to freelances and smaller suppliers of goods & services. First caller with a tale of woe. Louise omits the key question. The whole of that first contribution sounded false. Other important items were omitted in the introduction and as other contributors appeared. Net result after 30 minutes? I have little or no confidence in Louise Cooper and any editions of MBL that she presents.

      Ignorance. My investigations into the BBC have concluded that the posh left-wing BBC types are the family failure, so they only read fiction not factual books or scientific papers. Left-wing newspapers are also fiction so they don’t have the intellectual faculty of reasoned rational judgment about anything at all. BBC Journalists do not investigate the facts due to mass immigration creating all that knife crime, making it unsafe for BBC staff to leave the building. So are only able to gain any knowledge of the outside world by asking questions on the BBC Website.

    The stitch up by the establishment and the spineless Tories is a full on disgrace. They’ve stalled, moaned, lied, grumbled and worked with the negative MSM to make Brexit so watered down that it won’t actually happen.

    They’ve had the gall to fabricate a whole new raft of doom laden prophecies even though the last lot that they said would happen if we voted to leave/if we triggered Article 50 didn’t come true. Yet virtually no one in the media called them out on this blatant deceit and instead started shovelling the new BS that they were being fed.

    From following UK politics for many years, I’m done with it. The public gave their decision and the arrogant aloof politicians have ignored the will of the British people. The whole system is broken and corrupt and I’m disgusted with what we have become. Whenever I think about the shameful betrayal, I become enraged at the actions of this traitorous nest of drown worthy rats.

    I’ll be voting on the extremes from now on.

      Payne – The writing was on the wall for brexit as soon as the New Labour PM, Theresa was imposed on us after the rest of the Tories realised that to properly mug us of a democratic decision we would “need” a “leader” who cares more about personal power than than any minor worries about what is right and what is wrong and peoples reaction.
      I dont post much on this site, (but visit daily) as to say anything relevant means that I have to listen to at least some of BBC excrement, produced by their liarazzi, which I now find increasingly difficult to do.
      Our politicians and the corrupt media are now so enmeshed together and committed to destroy brexit that these days I take little interest in “who says what” and see the only hope of salvation for this country through the flying brick rather than the ballot box.
      Whether the population as a whole will actually choose this path rather than shut their curtains and turn up the volume on strictly (as their country is sold off around them) is I think is fairly unlikely.

      It is interesting that in a material sense we have never been richer but in a moral/ethical sense we have never been poorer. I suppose if people have no values then nothing is worth fighting for.
      We have become a people waiting to be conquered. And despite all the talk in the world if people do not get off their backsides then the results are inevitable.
      I will continue to attend demos etc – but at the end of the day you cant help people to help themselves if they dont want to be helped.
      Sorry to sound so down – but it is like knocking your head on a brick wall, We have become the Eloi and are just waiting for the sirens to sound so we can proffer ourselves for the slaughter. Fortunately it seems, we will always have the BBC to tell us that it is in our own interest.

        Spot on Oaknash. I totally hear you on withdrawing a little from UK politics. I find it so incendiary that I take comfort in US politics where at least there are two sides to the argument.

        At least they have a Fox News to provide a counterbalance to the endless Trump negative coverage. But over here in the UK, it is just a never ending barrage of anti Brexit, anti-UK one sided guff. Yes they might wheel out JRM, Farage or even Batten but it’s token lip service and nothing that they say can make a dent in the tiresome tidal wave of endless doom and gloom and acidic digs at anyone voting Brexit.

        I like yourself have all but given up on the country. Our culture is being eroded and our last gasp attempt at holding onto our sovereignty is being crushed under the jackboot of the EU and it’s disgusting HOP appeasers.

    Whilst the president is off brokering world peace, the Dems are putting the ‘show’ back in show trial with their grilling of Cohen. They are still having a tantrum about losing! Of course he will bad mouth Trump when you have a metaphorical gun to his head. Trump may be denuclearising the Korean Peninsula – but look at this! Trump once took over Russia during a game of Risk in 1972 which means he must be compromised!

    Trump is brilliant at making people destroy themselves. This looks so petty and pathetic, all deliberately timed to distract from Trump’s heroic achievements with North Korea. What a leader. Imagine taking on the entire MSM and humiliating them. Nothing more glorious than when bullies get a taste of their own medicine.

      When Anthony ‘analysed’ Michael…

      *****
      How damaging are Cohen allegations?

      Michael Cohen is unleashing a series of explosive accusations directed towards Donald Trump touching on multiple controversies that have bedevilled the president during his time in office. Mr Cohen suggests the president had advance knowledge of his son’s June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians and that WikiLeaks was poised to release damaging information about Democrats. He says the president personally signed cheques reimbursing him for a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels. He alleges that the president was fully aware of ongoing negotiations for a Trump Tower in Moscow well into the 2016 presidential campaign.

        There’s a general assumption by Trump haters that paying Stormy Daniels was a crime. It wasn’t, but it suits them to pretend otherwise.

      A,

      Very surprised that the BBC (anti-family, pro-abortion scum) are interested at yet another example of infants that normally would have been thrown into the trash by most UK/US doctors. BBC Elites will hate me for reminding them that this little thing is now fit and well . Especially “Planned Parenthood” won’t like this example. Child Murderers.inc

      View post on imgur.com

      Can you imagine the numbers of infants in a single year are lawfully murdered in and out of mothers womb such as this infant who would have survived if certain doctors/finance companies/anti-life groups-BBC didn’t put “life” before “costs” and “inconvieneancies”

        Strange that? I did accept?

        Anyway, it was the photo of the tiny infant seen on some red tops/TV news today. Even the BBC has now published the image.

        Sorry for the confusion guys n gals.

    So President Trump didn’t cave in to Kim’s demands to remove ALL sanctions and decided that sometimes you have to hold your nerve and walk away from negotiations.
    So now the disgraceful MSM are announcing that Trump is a failure.
    Just listening to the journos and politicians criticising his negotiating tactics. Maybe they ought to be looking closer to home when it comes to a total lack of negotiating skills.
    They are all so quick to blame Trump. But he is playing hard ball and I suspect this is not the last of it.

        BBC hacks think negotiation is only another word for capitulation, using the well-established pattern of the past two years as a shining example.

    Speaking of “Trump”.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-47395720

    Yet another TDS piece offering up the President of America as a figure to be ridiculed, no opportunity missed by the loathsome bBBC.

    Artist(?) Alison Jackson, daughter of multi-millionaire Hampshire landowner and descendent of William the Conqueror George Gilbert Mowbray-Jackson, can probably afford to pay £15,000 for a syrup but I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the bBBC will have been more than happy to pay one of their own for both the taxi and the toupee if asked.

    Yes, seriously. £15,000.

    Are there any interpreters out there? I was just watching
    Breakfast TV on the BBC whilst eating my porridge. They had
    their head of statistics taking very quickly in an Irish Republic
    brogue about immigration stats. Could any of you tell
    me what he was talking about?

      Foscari,
      My dad had a thick Irish brogue that some say was difficult to understand. It just seemed normal to me because I grew up with it. The thing with the Irish is we tend to speak very quickly even when we are next generation like me.
      I wasn’t watching though so I can’t help. If it was a BBC POV about immigration it would likely just wind me up anyway so I’m glad I missed it.

    Hang on, how come US media has been running their own Jihadi bride story all week which is so similar to our Begum’s ?
    No one mentioned it here on B-BBC
    Has British media been connecting the two stories ?
    The ABC TV interview I watched was by a man with a British accent
    .. is this the same Time’s journalist Anthony Loyd who spoke to out Begum ?

        The BBC are loving it. But they fail to point out that 4 previous Presidents have talked and done nothing..and as Pug said above – POTUS knows how to negotiate..he wasn’t willing to give up all sanctions for minor denuclearisation – now if it was may she would have given up sanctions and paid Kim £39bn .
        Now BBC still banging on about what PoTuS’s ex lying lawyer said… they can’t hide their contempt…but more and more people are seeing it..BBC days are numbered

    BBC Newsbeat

    Some fans are annoyed ticket prices have more than doubled.
    Ariana says that’s nothing to do with her.
    Others say because she’s heterosexual she shouldn’t headline.
    Ariana says she wants to celebrate a community that’s been special to her, and references Kylie and Cher also being straight allies.
