    At the risk of repeating myself BBC take note : the number of police oficers makes no difference to feral immigrants once they get the smell of violence into them including their female fans watching

    I’m not sure if this is bias or bias by omission, at the moment we’re watching Saving Lives At Sea, I’ve always been a big supporter of the RNLI but after Mug Gate when 2 volunteers were fired for politically incorrect mugs and the migrant taxi into Dover I’ve taken off my rose coloured specs. I’ve learnt this evening that there are 43 RNLI stations in Northern and Southern Ireland……so any money donated to the RNLI goes to the Southern Irish station as well, and the Irish impounded NI fishing boats and the Irish PM keeps sounding off about Brexit. I’m guessing that as the RNLI was founded in 1824 before there was a Southern Ireland it was just continued. Tragedy at sea is horrendous anywhere but how many in the UK know this, living in France as we do now we support the French version and I don’t want people to stop supporting them just ranting about something I never knew and wondering how much more I don’t know.

    To use John Sweeney language – Some people say that bombs have been discovered in three London airports.

    But some people in the BBC report the Met saying that ‘ “small improvised explosive devices” were found in A4 postal bags

    Scary thing about this? It’s so very, very believeable….from The Spectator:

    ‘Brexit shows democracy doesn’t work’: An interview with Titania McGrath

    Titania McGrath, 24, is a radical intersectionalist vegan activist, feminist slam poet and the author of Woke: a Guide to Social Justice. She won’t meet me in person for security reasons – she fears doxxing – or send me a photograph of her face. Rather, she consents to an interview by email from her gîte in the Buis-les-Baronnies district of France, where she is “working on a new anthology of slam poetry which will end the patriarchy” in the nude. This is from her poem Cultural Appropriation:

    Plunderbeast of history.

    My ancestors scream in your hollow wigwam,

    Ghostrolling in the ectoplasm of your hate.

    I staunch the flow of simpering tribal sauce,

    A digital sombrero clings deafblind

    To a face falsely smeared in a coalish hue.

    She wrote Woke because, “I was permanently banned from Twitter for a whole day. This gave me time to reflect on my subjugation as a woman in a patriarchal world and write a book about my oppression. The entire document is a masterpiece unparalleled in the history of the written word”.

    I am not sure a book dedicated to the destruction of the Capitalist patriarchy should be available on Amazon but there is no contradiction for Titania: “I’m attempting to destroy the capitalist system from within, and the only way I can do that is to make a shit-load of cash”.

    She is confident of good reviews, but she will not allow men to review Woke: “Any male who attempts to review my book will be committing a form of sexual assault”. (I hope the literary editor is reading this). She thinks men are the cause of all misery, and should wear blinkers, like horses: “They’re gruff. They’re bad-tempered. They have base sexual instincts. And they sleep standing up”.

    Yet she does not identify as a woman: “For me, gender is not so much a spectrum but a kaleidoscopic ouroboros, in a state of perpetual self-nourishment. I am all genders and none.” She does not believe in love – a construct – but she has designed a Valentine’s card featuring Fred and Rosemary West: “For all their incest, murder, and regional accents, they were a shining example of a successful polyamorous relationship”. She describes herself as “polyracial – I generally fluctuate between white, black and vaguely beige” and she plans to transition to obesity: “being skinny is an act of passive-aggressive fat-shaming. If you don’t believe me, try gaining fifteen stone and hanging around with some gymnasts”.

    What made her? Her education was, “fairly typical. I studied Modern Languages at Oxford University and then stayed on for an MA in Gender Studies where I wrote a groundbreaking dissertation on technopaganism and the corrosive nature of cis-masculine futurity. I only went to university so I could deplatform speakers and vandalise old statues of dead white colonialists”. She was raised by parents who “lavished” her with “gifts and money” in an attempt to distract her from her “oppression. It would,” she says, “have been better to have grown up on a council estate”.

    Even so, “money has never really been something I’ve thought about very much. I do get annoyed by all these people complaining about the “economy” and having to resort to food banks when they could be on Twitter calling out sexist and transphobic jokes”.

    Her own path to wokeness was inspired, “by the story of Jesus attacking the money-lenders in the temple. I did a similar thing when I was four years old in my local branch of HSBC. Believe me, it took them several minutes to pick up all those pens from the floor”.

    Like Him, she would heal the world broken by Brexit: “Brexit has shown conclusively that democracy doesn’t work. In any case, only 1,269,501 more people voted to Leave than to Remain. No serious mathematician would consider that any kind of “majority”.

    Her solution is a referendum to decide how to execute the leading Brexiteers – “eg hemlock, fire” or drowning them in liquids produced by Emily Thornberry. Leave voters, meanwhile, “should be branded on the forehead with the word “gammon”. They should not have access to housing, employment, or running water. That should teach them a lesson.”

    For Titania, Theresa May is “the antiChrist”. (The other great threats to our security, she writes, are limericks and Crufts). She has more time for Anna Soubry – “she has the courage to ignore the wishes of her constituents when they vote the wrong way” – and for Jeremy Corbyn because he is “a good friend of Stormzy” and “adores grime music”. She is equally optimistic about the Independent Group: “They understand that working-class people don’t know what is best for them, and they’re brave enough to do something about it”.

    She is not afraid for herself, “but I am deeply concerned that free speech extremists will find a way to prevent the state from monitoring what people say and think. We need to ensure that the police can arrest those who digress from woke ideas in order to prevent the rise of fascism”.

    She is committed enough to run for president of the USA: “I am convinced that I can win over the electorate with some well-judged slam poetry. My announcement has already had over 2000 retweets, so I’m well on the way to victory”. She would, if successful, have Donald Trump flayed, and make a rug from his skin.

    The patriarchy will always find a way to get its way. Titania has been dismissed as a parody – “unpersoned” – by Charles Moore in these pages. She denies this, and calls her defamation, “an inevitable consequence of being a truth-teller in a corrupt heteropatriarchal world. The Spectator is a foul pro-Brexit rag. Every copy should be incinerated. Except the ones my name appears in”.

    LOL…

    ‘Parkfield Community School in Alum Rock, Birmingham, has seen protests over its No Outsiders project.

    It said it was always the plan for the classes to stop at half-term.

    But, it added, there is a need for discussions between teachers and parents about the curriculum and how it should be delivered in the future.

    They said it was always in the curriculum plan to use the remainder of the term for religious education.’

    So always the plan to teach LGBTQETC tolerance and diversity and then teach Islamic beliefs…such as Gays should be killed…the only question is how…throw them off a mountain or stone them to death.

    Talk about mindf**k.

    ‘As to the issue of how the homosexual person is judged in an Islamic State, the Companions of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him differed among themselves on this issue, and this led to different views maintained by Muslim Jurists. For example, in the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, death penalty is to be applied. As for the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment of adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication, while the Hanafi differentiates between the two acts because in homosexuality, the anus (a place of impurity) may also be involved while in adultery (and fornication), the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved. Some scholars hold the opinion that the homosexual should be thrown from a high building as a punishment for his crime, but other scholars maintain that he should be imprisoned until death.

    Based on the above fact, we can conclude that, the judge is invested with full discretion as to whether this man is to be thrown from a high place or not, as a punishment for his crime. However, if the man survives death fall, the judge has the right to sentence him to death.”’

    I don’t think Islamophobia is the real problem in the Tory Party…I think it’s anti-Semitism….a Tory Baroness, who constantly attacks Israel, demanded we disarm Israel and leave it unable to defend itself….note she makes no mention of disarming Hamas or Hezbollah, however she does find a lot of time to demand the persecution and prosecution of British[dual citizens] Jews who fight in the Israeli army [never mind Gurkhas, Fijians, Aussies, Canadians, Saffas etc etc who work in the British army]….so disgusted by Israel was she that she resigned her government job [only given to her anyway because of that Tory Islamophobia]

    ‘”Therefore we’ve got to be bold in taking the decision and say until who have been alleged to have committed war crimes over the last few weeks have been brought to justice then we must stop selling arms to Israel.”‘

    Another worrying activity of our seeming totally state controlled media is this:

    https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaveYourInternet?src=hash

    The EUs attempt to destroy the internet through draconian ill conceived legislation called article 13.

    There are protests all over European cities about this, and yet this is perhaps the first you have heard of it.

    March 23rd is save our internet day – which again thanks to a seeming news blackout you probably didn’t know of either.
    Many believe it’s just a front for the EU to introduce censorship and control of the internet, but it most certainly is worth reading about, because you aren’t going to find it in the MSM.

      Thank you for posting that. Perhaps you should put it at the top of the new thread as well.
