    What the BBC dodges, changes, etc is what makes its editorial integrity’ so special.

    Some might say they are as bent as a 9€ bill.

    I was half watching a film this afternoon, from the sixties, called, ‘Play It Cool’. I caught one of the lines. A person at an airport tells passengers, ‘The conditions in Brussels have deteriorated.’ Had to laugh. How prophetic. If only Teresa could play it cool and finally tell Brussels what they could do with their ghastly little union.

      Talking about films…I watched a British film made in 1960 a short time ago and was shocked at the number of health warnings the broadcasters felt it was necessary to issue before it started. Generally, because the film was made before this great age of enlightenment, the viewer should be prepared for shocking views, bad language, bigots, racists, the lack of diversity, homophobia etc.

      It was a very gentle comedy in which you’d have to try very hard to find anything remotely offensive… 🙁

      Because they genuinely believe that their constituents voted for them as a wonderful representative…not for any Party… 🙁

      The Labour MP for Ilford has gone to TIG and was sobbing tohimself on a bbc politics programme this morning . No mention of the killings and stabbings in his area . Just me me me .

      He says he will stand as an independent at the next election but will continue to take his pay until then .

          The TR video is still on YouTube and heading for 1.1 million views . The comments are positive and importantly global .
          I wonder if twitter will do any thing about the Deputy labour leader twitter which I reported as offensive . ? I think I know the answer. He’d close this site down without a blink .

    I don’t listen to Jeremy Whine. Does he play this one of Yusuf’s?

    I have to admit that I don’t remember a spate of teenage shootings after it was released – in 1967.

      Stew,

      Above photo: I can see three people whose smiles are genuine.

      They know that their kind (muslims) are a creeping cancer to the health and wellbeing of this great nation of ours, and they don’t give a fig.

      Being bored, I read an article about the history of the muslims/arabs and in one form or another they are have been with us just as long as the Jews, and only in one (1) war I believe have they been defeated (not including modern warfare, as this was written many years ago). The writer may be mistaken? But he quotes historians such as Gibbon, and his description of the Arabs is, “armed against the world”

      They were better known amongt the European nations as the “Saracens” or, “Hagarenes, or children of Hagar, of the OT.

      The Arabs called themselves Sara-cens, instead of Hagar-cens, to wipe off the reproach of their birth.

      Arabs: “armed against the world” eh. Sounds familiar.

    I hope the egg was free range organic and halal – and obviously non white ….

    Our thoughts and prayers should be with the egg at this difficult time .

    The 2 posts above show that a few brave whistle blowers are waking up to the truth of our situation and daring to speak out.

    Sadly, too little too late.

    Look carefully at the words
    Tom Watson says “anti-Islamist” posts are a bad thing
    Tom Watson is Pro-Islamist

    Isn’t it a good thing to be against Islamists ?

    \\ I welcome Facebook’s decision to remove Tommy Robinson pages under their “Organised Hate” policy.
    But for far too long
    … *anti-Islamist* tirades were given a platform by Facebook //

    I accidentally stumbled on an ‘Independent’ article and found this blurb:

    “At the Independent, no one tells us what to write. That’s why, in an era of political lies and BREXIT BIAS (my emphasis) more readers are turning to an independent source.”

    Independent of what, one might well ask.
