I don’t know about you but Brexit is exhausting me and the Far Left BBC bias is making it worse so over to you …
PS – for those starting their Lent journey – good luck over the next 40 days to Easter …

n a speech on the future of immigration, Ms Abbot unveiled plans to make it easier for people from the rest of the world to come to Britain and for low paid workers to get easier access to British citizenship.
The Conservatives warned that the plans are likely to push up immigration even further and push down wages at the lower end of the scale further as the UK is flooded with cheap labour.

So the average British worker will earn eleventy–sixteen thousand pounds according to Flabbott-economics, or 3 gazillion shillings in old money.
Can’t wait to have her as Home Secretary, or better still Chancellor.
@ vlad ….
I think the correct term is actually `chance-seller` when describing anyone supporting Corbyns` rhetoric …
That’s rich coming from the Commieserveyourselves when they promised migration in the tens of thousands and then allow immigration to rise to new record highs.
We cannot say she is coloured, can we say she has a face like a witch doctor’s rattle ?
That’s highly offensive to witch doctors’ rattles.
You can’t say coloured but people of colour is just fine. Makes sense, doesn’t it.
well it`s certainly not a `black or white` issue … whether they talk s**t or like a w**ker …. it`s difficult to discern what to say without causing a `faux pas` these days…
Amber Rudd has had to apologise for referring to Diane Abbot as a ‘coloured woman’ in an interview on the Jeremy Vine show. BBC types and twitter have gone into overdrive in a state of high dudgeon at the offense of it all, as it appears its an outmoded and offensive term.
HOWEVER, its ok to use the term ‘person/woman/man of colour’ – can anyone explain the difference to me ?
It is a distinction without a difference. It is there purely to see if you are woke or not. If “person of colour” is not racist, there can be no possible reason why “coloured” is racist.
It would be nice if just once someone who has “misspoken” in this way could tell the SJWs to get stuffed with their fake outrage over a non-event. But Amber Rudd is not that person.
Thanks Rob, but can you go one further, and pretend you are explaining to a 5 year old, what being ‘woke’ is. I have seen this term used several times – particularly on here, and haven’t a bloody clue what it means.
Unless its similar to a term used decades ago, of being U and non-U.
“Woke” is essentially equivalent to “politically correct”, now that that term is used as a figure of fun. “Woke” will go there eventually, and then they will have to find a new term to describe heavily tattooed transgender vegan activists who love Jeremy Corbyn and hate western civilization.
BRISSLES
Woke – politically correct, progressive, know all millennial.
I might be able to help with reference to the world expert on Woke, Titania McGrath 24, whose book is published today. Titania appears on Twitter as a radical intersectionalist feminist slam poet and vegan activist, who believes in peaceful armed struggle. She does not want men to review her book as that would be sexual oppression. You can enter the book and read several sections.
‘From the ad.
In Woke, Titania McGrath demonstrates how everybody can play their part in the pursuit of social justice. As a millennial icon on the forefront of online activism, Titania is uniquely placed to guide her readers through the often bewildering array of terminology and concepts that constitute twenty-first-century ‘wokeness’. These new ideas often leave the general public bemused, particularly if they don’t read the Guardian.
Being woke is actually much easier than people think. As Titania demonstrates, anyone can be an activist. By simply adding a rainbow flag to your Facebook profile, or calling out an elderly person who doesn’t understand what ‘non-binary’ means, you can change the world for the better. Indeed, social media has now made it possible to show how virtuous you are without having to do anything at all.
Timely and indispensable, Titania’s step-by-step guide will help you to become the woke person you need to be in an increasingly progressive world. In a non-patronising manner, Titania will explain why you are wrong about everything and how to become more like her. She was going to title her book, My Struggle, but thinks someone else may have used that title.
——————–
For more information see this interview in the Spectator. Titania has been called a satirist by some, who do not appreciate that she means everything she says.

Thank you Rob and GWF. I just wait for the day when this lot of millennials become the elderlies of tomorrow, and they too find themselves left behind in a strange and different jargon filled world they can no longer understand.
I’ve only just learned the difference between a Blogger and Vlogger without reaching for the Neurofen.
What the hell is an ‘intersectionalist’?
You have to wonder where all these cranks and tossers get enough money to live on,despite being stupid! Presumably they have cash from idiot parents, and that’s topped up by benefits – paid for by pensioners like me and Mrs O’Blene!
so amber who likes a bit of black is a waycist now
please can someone also explain what todays proper terms are to me as well
so far I got
flabbot is black or is a person of colour not a coloured
Warsi is Brown or is a person of colour and definitely not coloured
alan Mak is not yellow but is a person of colour and definitely not coloured
elizebeth warren is white but is a person of colour but not coloured
donald trump is orange but is white and definitely not coloured
a white with a hijab is a person of colour (see linda sarsour self quote)
a gammon is a reddy/pink and also white and also definitely not coloured
A Black with a knife is a transparent child
A Brown with gang raping pedo tendencys is an asian man but also not yellow
Singulars like Black are ok but a gang of Blacks isnt, is it a gang of persons of colour or is gang a collective name for them now
I think they should at least tell us what their preferred noun is now to go with their preferred pronoun
addendum
qt informs me brown pakistanis actually identify as black so the bbc probably now can conflate (not)yellow brown and black people of colour with asians which spreads the blame around further
Rob – “It would be nice if just once someone who has “misspoken” in this way could tell the SJWs to get stuffed with their fake outrage over a non-event.” YES!
QT panel tonight includes Owen Bloody Jones, presumably in the chair usually reserved for the token comedian. With a booster cushion.
Meanwhile, the BBC is turning an innocuous phrase used by Amber Rudd into hot breaking news. Not much about Wacko Jacko’s child grooming tendencies on its airwaves, however. Says it all, really.
Ed Hitter
Easy job for the panel on QT tonight. Owen LGBT Jones Yaxley Jones LBGT (hons Oxford) will do all the talking. Unless he is forced to flounce off.
he will be practising his lines now
You want to privatise our NHS
caused by tory austerity
For the many not the few
Hard Right Tory Brexit
Racist
Homophobic
xenophobic
Yaxley Lennon is a ….
perfect for the old office bull shit bingo game
Ed Hitter – Maybe they aren’t making a big deal about the Leaving Neverland documentary because the two accusers took their claims to the courts a couple of years back and had them thrown out. One of the two has even perjured his own 2005 defence of MJ, proving that he is a defined liar.
Hence they filmed an emotive programme to hoodwink some gullible fools because they couldn’t hoodwink a judge.
I’m losing count of the deaths now – someone who was stabbed on Sunday night in London has died . One a day seems to be coming the ‘norm’ . I’m sure that the Question Time panel will be wringing their hands but that don’t cut it – as it were …. ( I don’t indulge in that meaningless BBC ritual)
Maybe get back some of the coppers who have retired recently to get the numbers ( in Londonistan ) up again quickly rather than nonsense about recruiting and training …..
I’m a bit shocked by the latest murder because, although I don’t live in London, I did a walk between West Brompton and West Kensington tube stations a couple of weeks ago and that’s exactly where it took place.
From the Ministry of Justice….
Knife possession offences rarely followed exclusions
‘Only a very small proportion committed the knife possession offence shortly after being excluded from school. For those with a permanent exclusion that came later than their knife possession offence, half were excluded within the next 30 days.Although it is not possible to identify from this analysis whether there is an association between exclusions and knife possession offending, the low volumes of knife possession offences following exclusions mean any such association could not be a significant driver of youth knife possession offending overall’
And note that is ‘knife possession’ not actual knife use….so stabbings by excluded youths would be an even lower figure.
Hmmmm….
I noted a couple of days ago the BBC’s ‘out-of-the-blue’ conclusion that the cause of knife crime was in fact exclusion from school. Wondered where they got that from. Funnily enough a couple of days later Labour’s Sadiq Khan and several Police and Crime Commissioners write a letter to May demanding answers about school exclusions…
‘The prime minister has been told that a “broken” system of exclusions is to blame for rising knife crime across the country.
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, co-signed a letter to Theresa May calling for an end to rising unofficial exclusions, known as off-rolling.’
Who are these commissioners though?…..
‘Commissioners for the West Midlands, South Yorkshire, Humberside, Northumbria, West Yorkshire, Leicestershire and South Wales signed the letter.’
Just a coincidence of course but they are all Labour PCC’s. Nobody at the BBC or Guardian cares to point that out for some reason.
Labour is playing highly politicised games with kids’ lives and the BBC and Guardian provide them with the stamp of approval and a platform to peddle their schtick unchallenged… in fact actually vigorously promote it.
One other interesting narrative that the BBC and its fellow travellers are pushing is that nobody [especially not the Daily Mail] paid any attention to knife crime before a white girl was stabbed and a boy[migrant heritage] from a grammar school was killed. Heard this a few times now from the mouths of BBC presenters. Just a complete lie….Mail [and everyone] has been pumpng out stories about knife crime for ages now….google it and a flood of headlines come up….
Bloodbath Britain: Murder rate rockets by 14% and knife crime soars by 12% in a year – as stats show offences solved are at lowest in three years
London’s bloodiest year in a decade: 2018 ends with 134 murders – including 70 stab deaths and 24 young people killed
Britain’s crime crisis IS real: Killings soar to highest level for TEN YEARS and knife crime surges to seven-year high – while no one is charged in nine out of ten crimes
Knife crimes soars by more than a fifth across England and Wales driven by weapons epidemic in London – where the murder rate increased by 44%
Guardian…
Knife crime: how teenagers cope with daily life on the front line
And remember this…the one that the BBC et al rose up in sneering fury about…now they[BBC/Guardian] all want to clamber aboard and show how much they care…
BBC…
Trump: Knife crime left London hospital ‘like a war zone’
Bad people stick knives in other people.
Bad people get ‘excluded’.
Correlation is not causation.
Bad people listen to [c]rap ‘music’.
BBC Radio One Extra plays [c]rap ‘music’.
Therefore the BBC causes knife crime?
That’s a great explanation, Jim!
‘rap’ is just that – total rubbish, and not even worthy of the word ‘Music’. It’s the sort of genre where decent brickwork is scarred by spray-painted scribble, sordid lifestyles, thick parenting and an inability to lead the life our grandparents fought for.
That little shit Khan is the problem – a weak little prat, put up for a non-job in a once-proud city, and completely out of his depth.
Yesterday, I met my old business partner, who used to keep every wine bar in London in business, because he worked his socks off there. We both agreed that we would never, ever revisit the place as it is a foul area of unpleasantness, and all because of the ridiculous mayor being incapable of stringing two words together without looking like an imbecile.
@ Fedup2 6.15 PM
Re the retired Coppers, no fear we’ve escaped. We planned our move to the South of France from as far back as 2004 and left 10 years later, after seeing the writing on the wall and getting called every name under the sun for pointing it out. We wanted to live somewhere where the news didn’t send our blood pressure sky hire and where a person of colour was a novelty and we believed an EU referendum would never happen. I don’t want this to be true but I believe London is lost if you’re not one of the elite with gates or a certain minority .
Why is Karen Bradley being forced to apologise for saying something that most people think is true?
Just a damn shame that British security forces were never allowed to declare war on the IRA….
I may be well behind the curve here but I’d never heard of this….the BBC’s All.ai [‘Ally’ lol] app which is designed to empower women in meetings, to make their voices heard.
Somebody mentioned it on 5Live today and said how patronising it was….they weren’t wrong…watch the video…..’I want to speak at least once in the meeting’…lol.
Are women strong, self-confident and able to express themselves in meetings? Obviously not, or at least not with out the help of a special device that was probably designed by a man! Gonna run out of ‘Lols’ if I don’t end this here.
Wouldn’t it be simpler to put all these women’s smart phones into the meeting room and all the apps could ‘speak’ to each other?
Any organisation that is relying on ‘power phrases’ in meetings is doomed. Just like those advertising agencies that shoe-horn ever more families of colour/black man-white woman into TV adverts – insult your audience, the first rule of Ratner Marketing.
Empowering women, eh?
Back on topic.
All other media outlets other then the BBC have to survive by giving the public what it wants.
Like any other business…give the public what they want.
So how does a forced payment to the BBC from millions help anyone know if the BBC is giving the public what it wants.
Whilst writing this post…BBC on the TV in my hotel room A’hem
“Brexit is to affect John Lewis, meaning bonuses will be the lowest in 65years”
John Lewis ceo – yeah in the short term it will hit some key areas but it will only be temporary if a no deal Brexit happens.
I just don’t have any words for this….let’s hope something comes of this ofcom review on impartiality.
Maybe the John Lewis thing is “never knowingly sold cheap”
The police have a difficult choice to make. They can try to prevent people from stabbing each other, or they can arrest people for using the wrong pro-nouns on social media.
This! Genius!

First British recruit to join Isis with suspected links to western kidnappings revealed as Londoner Hudaifa Elgerbouzi
“He was a psychopath… trying to fulfil his violent and criminal fantasies with God’s stamp of approval,” said one of his close associates in Syria, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
But it was when he teamed up with friends from West London to help form a cell of British fighters that he entered the upper echelons of the organisation. “He was willing to justify anything sadistic or anything wrong that Isis had done without feeling in any way funny about it,”

Labour anti-Semitism row deepens as watchdog says party ‘may have discriminated’
Labour could face enforcement action from the Equality and Human Rights Commission over complaints about anti-Semitism in the party.
The equality watchdog said it believes Labour may have “unlawfully discriminated against people because of their ethnicity and religious beliefs”.
It is now contacting Jeremy Corbyn’s party to set out its concerns and request a response. If that response is found to be unsatisfactory, the EHRC could launch a formal investigation.
https://www.itv.com/news/2019-03-07/labour-anti-semitism-row-deepens-as-watchdog-says-party-may-have-discriminated/
With the knife crime epidemic, it seems to be a case of everyone is to blame apart from the people who carry out the stabbings. Crime just happens automatically, as if by magic. Why not blame the criminals for a change? Obviously more police would be a good idea, but that isn’t the main problem. The main problem is people choosing, of their own free will, to commit crimes. They didn’t have to do it, they chose to do it. You’ll never hear anyone on the news saying this. I wonder why…
all cultures are equal
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-47480597
Here’s the bbc headline, squirrelled away in Local News, of course:
“Halifax grooming gang members lose sentence appeal.”
So what image does the beebeestan use to illustrate the minor story about the drugging, grooming, trafficking and raping of children and teenage girls in Halifax? Why, a pile of bricks, of course.
Note too that while the court sentence calls them ‘children’, al-beeb prefers the more tactful ‘teenage girls’.
If the beeb won’t spell out the rapists, here are there names:
Hedar Ali, 36, of Bradford, was jailed for 25 years after being found guilty of two counts of rape and two counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation
Haider Ali, 41, of Halifax, sentenced to 20 years in prison after he was found guilty of sexual activity with a child and causing a person to engage in sexual activity
Khalid Zaman, 38, of Bradford, jailed for 17-and-a-half years after being convicted of two counts of rape and supplying class B drugs. He denied all the charges
Mohammed Ramzan, 35, of Bradford, jailed for 15 years after being found guilty of rape
Haaris Ahmed, 32, of Halifax, sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child and with the supply of class B drugs
Tahir Mahmood, 43, of Halifax, jailed for 11 years after being found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child and sexual assault.
Taukeer Butt, 31, of Halifax, jailed for 10 years after he was found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with a child
Amaar Ali Ditta, 27, of Halifax, sentenced to nine years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child
Azeem Subhani, 25, of Halifax, jailed for nine years after being found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child
Talib Saddiq, 31, of Halifax, jailed for eight years after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual activity with a child.
Sikander Malik, 31, of Halifax, jailed for seven years after being found guilty of sexual activity with a child
Mohammed Ali Ahmed, 43, of Halifax, jailed for six-and-a-half years after being found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child
Aftab Hussain, 37, of Halifax, jailed for six years after pleading guilty to two charges of sexual activity with a child last September
Mansoor Akhtar, 25, of Huddersfield, was found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child but admitted to supplying Class B drugs. He was jailed for six years
Sikander Ishaq, 31, of Halifax, sentenced to six years in prison after being found guilty of one count of sexual activity with a child
Fasil Mahmood, 37, of Halifax, was jailed for 10 months after he was found guilty of supplying class B drugs.
But never mind the systematic rape of children across the country, the really BIG home page news is that Trump MIGHT have got someone’s name wrong – they’re not even sure so they do that slimy trick of framing it as a question.
“Does Donald Trump get Apple boss’s name wrong?”
Good to see Sopel is earning his obscene pay over in the US.
Is it ok to name them. Would t want them to feel anxious now would we.
Well that’s even more stats to bolster the obscene amount of muslims in our prisons.
5% of the population, yet 15% of the prison population. Doesn’t sound like a religion of peace does it…
What’s even more alarming though is that is a gang of 14 men, aided I’m sure by even more that didn’t get caught or prosecuted. When are the authorities (I guess I already know that it’s never) going to wake up to the problem that you can get this many willing accomplices together. I mean jesus, do you think if you got 20 normal blokes together that they would ALL be rapists?
Are there no whistleblowers in this disgusting cult? Are we not alarmed that individual Muslims who fancy a bit of raping can find others so quickly and readily to join them? Is it not a huge concern that when looking for recruits to their bout of pillaging that no one seems to say ‘hang on guys this is flat out wrong’.
Of course they don’t and that is why this religion is such a disgusting stain on the world. Granted the Catholic church has it’s share of monsters but these are usually individuals that are protected by higher forces. The Muslim rape gangs seem able to pull endless willing participants from their congregation ad infinitum.
Okay, some Muslims might be decent but when are they going to start doing something about those that are destroying the reputation of their faith? Instead of blaming those nasty outsiders for pointing the finger at the darkness in the centre of their cult, when are they going to start giving voice to their outrage. And I’m afraid the answer is never or rarely. It’s far easier for them to bury their heads in the side, complain about racists being unfair to them and tacitly support their actions with their silence.
The bbc used to do surveys /documentaries on why are there so many blacks and Pakistani types in prison? You don’t here that question being asked any more …
What has Baroness Warsi had to say about it?
BBC Online News:
“”Climate change: Rain melting Greenland ice sheet ‘even in winter “”‘
“”And if all of that ice melted, the sea level would rise by seven metres, threatening coastal population centres around the world.””

And if pigs grew wings….
Apparently another paedophile rape gang trial has just fallen apart because of police incompetence …. Northumberland …. lessons won’t be learnt
Diane Abbott…maybe instead of ‘Coloured’ we should say ‘supporter of terrorist murderers’ or ‘stupid woman'[@Corbyn]. Much better.
But don’t forget the wise words of the Abbotticus…
”’White people love playing ‘divide & rule'”.’
Of course Abbott is a serial complainer who is ever ready to play on her ‘coloured’ status…
‘Diane Abbott accuses BBC Question Time of legitimising racism ‘
When I hear Abbott using the term `nothing is off the table` does that mean she is admitting she lied when she used the description regarding inherrent racism by white people as `under the table racism` at mealtimes???
I hear Channel Four are thinking about a special `Political version of the reality show `Come Dine with Me` titled `Come Whine With Me`….
Nothing was off the table at her most recent buffet.
On a not nice day – something to cheer us up . The NUS is near bust so has to flog its’ office and downsize staffing . The comrades will always get jobs somewhere – the BBC, the Guardian , The Labour Party …
Is the BBC doing a report? Will they be asking the usual questions that they ask about any issue?….‘So there’s no money….then surely the answer is to spend more money isn’t it?’
ITV now: “Can we defend ourselves”
Pro EU propaganda I suspect.
Tom Bradby who is clearly anti Brexit telling us about the increase in “Russian activity” in the North Sea.
Telling us we may not be able to rely on NATO since “Trump” came to power.
They are all in it together it’s not just the BBC.
Oh and “China could sink our new carrier in the first minute of any conflict”.
Abbott has such a lot of respect for all communities….oddly not keen to apologise to a Jewish man…how very ‘Labour’ these days…
‘Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott has refused to clarify remarks she made on BBC Question Time earlier this year where she suggested members of the charedi community became targets of hate crime because of the “costume” they wore.
Last week, she was asked by London tube train passenger Alex Rose to explain the comments but Ms Abbott was clearly in no mood to talk as she ignored his question and stood up from her seat to sit away from him further along the busy carriage.’
Funny how the BBC doesn’t remind us of all the racist comments Abbott has made as they would if this had been a Tory ‘victim’ of racism…When a Tory is a victim of racism from one of the BBC’s favoured minorities the BBC prefers to dig out any old comments the Tory has made in order to muddy the waters and turn the victim into the racist criminal.
Pug
She adopted the John Sweeney /panorama exec producer ‘silent’ routine when challenged …. unusual for a thick overpromoted politician to be quiet isn’t it ….bet she claimed the tube trip on her expenses ….
Yep…amazing she didn’t complain that the Jewish man was being racist/sexist for daring to challenge her…or for just being Jewish.
Multiple people have reported David Lammy[racist] to the Met. Police hate crime unit…they say they’re on it…..yeah…right…..about as ‘on it’ as the BBC are even as one of their own gets racially abused by Lammy….
She’s cute. And ballsy.

SHOCK AND HORROR AS AMBER RUDD CLAIMS DIANE ABBOTT IS COLOURED
“I’ll never get over this!” says petite, pretty Ms Abbott, 24. “This shows that Amber Rudd has a totally outdated understanding of accuracy and truth. Next she’ll be saying I’m a monsterous lard-arsed slapper with a face like a bulldog that’s eating a nettle that a cat has pissed on!”

Amber’s a nice colour.

SHOCK AND HORROR AS AMBER RUDD CLAIMS DIANE ABBOTT IS COLOURED
“I’ll never get over this!” says petite, pretty Ms Abbott, 24…..
I take it that would be a dress size 24 ?
I thought 24 was her IQ.
you estimate you got 10 legs as well lobbie
Anyone questioning the integrity of Abbotts` claims is a racist!!!!!
The qualities of being honest and having strong moral principles have always been part of her psyche, just ask Jeremy Corbyn… Better still, why not ask one of his ex wives ….
The knife crime seems to just increase. It will spread out into other communities and unless action is taken will be out of control soon. The BBC has just gone along with fashionable progressive views so no surprise there. There is no quick answer. All that can be done immediately is to put out the fire any way we can . That means stop and search and making punishment so severe that it is almost medieval in severity. Then when we have asserted control we can deal with the social and economic factors and making the police force as visible a presence as it should by rights always be. . The important thing is to take back control.
It can be done. All it takes is the will to do it. However the damage done and being done to our country by the progressives of the BBC etc does not help us. I have often thought the BBc etc merely stupid but now there is no doubt in my mind that it and the rest are malicious and destructive of the good order of the nation .
It needs to be put in it’s place.
well I seem to recall In the midst’s of time the answer to gangs of white men raiding banks with shot guns was to ambush them with armed officers and shoot them, or send them to jail for 25 to 30, that seemed to stop them.
If it was my decision I’d sack all the chief police officers and replace them. And keep sacking them until one is found who takes the job seriously and gets the desired results.
I think the police are deliberately allowing knife and other crimes to flourish to put pressure on us, to put pressure on the government to give them more money. What do they need more money for? I think perhaps to complete their plans for a police state.
If they were serious about preventing and investigating crimes, they’d stop wasting time and manpower on fake hate crimes, fake islamophobia and the persecution of Christians and truth tellers such as Tommy Robinson and others.
Not BBC bias but really troubling footage on Parkfield Community School (Birmingham) and its decision to suspend lessons on LGBT rights and homophobia, which they have denied “is a U-turn”, saying “it was always the plan for the classes to stop at half-term.”
(Assistant head Andrew Moffat has said he stopped meeting parents when they became ‘personal and aggressive’ and that he’d received threats, including one warning that he “wouldn’t last long”.)
will this be a QT question tonight
what will Owen Peter Jones have to say about it
the comments are brill outrage, schadenfreude, told you so all rolled up with a few popcorn buckets
where is maxi when you need him to explain
When the express train of ‘the progressives’ meets the nuclear waste flask of the Muslims.
There’s a little part of me that is laughing at this and the contradiction this will cause among the LGBT folks who have harked on forever and ever above equality and diversity.
Well, the sad truth is that not all are equal and pretending we all are is just subjection to lesser cultures.
I ask though, what is it that Islam brings to the British culture that we didn’t have before? With the other cultures we successfully dominated we were able to integrate the good bits and ignore the backward bits. But Islam is all backwards. I really can’t think of a single thing that their culture has to offer and it is complete foolishness to think of them as anything other than backward savages not even intelliegent enough to realise the inherenat flaw in their culture that has led them to regress.
At least the cultures of the British Empire could understand clearly the massive advantages in British culture compared to their own and for many to be accepted as part of our culture was the highest achievement they could make. Perhaps the best example is cricket. Can you imagine how that must of looked to a mud-hut dwelling savage to see fair-skinned white-clothed ‘gods’ being so advanced as to have a past-time of such civility and grace compared to dancing around the fire chanting “hula-hula” all night!?
I’m reminded of the aboriginals, who hadn’t discovered the wheel before we conquered them.
The preferential treatment of the Muslims is like making the class fool a prefect. It helps no-one least of all the fool. Better to HIGHLIGHT to the Muslims their social inadequacies so the can improve – much as we have done throughout our successful years as the world’s leader – before we put our feet up for a bit and let the Americans have a go.:-)
According to Gavin Ashenden this is the first big sign of the coming fallout between the moslems and Labour, who will be kicked aside when they are no longer needed. He talks about it about 2 minutes into the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQu0OZwc8JM

Why do so many incompetent men become leaders? ????
bbc.in/2HjwBhB (via BBC Money)
****
Very brave, BBC.
because every village idiot has seen Treasoner Mayhem and realise even they could do better
That there are incompetent male leaders is not in doubt but I haven’t seen any evidence that the women leaders are pro-rata any better. (Our female politicians don’t give me any confidence in their leadership abilities for sure).
I don’t think he is right about what qualities make a good leader and he certainly isn’t right about women having a tougher time when it comes to selection. The question that is asked when a man goes to an interview is, “why should we give him the job?”. The question that is asked when a woman goes to interview is, “why shouldn’t we give her the job?”.
Anyone watching QT….( At a neighbours who pays their TVL) ????
Good old Owen….had to get the jab in at taking money from the rich ..
What a knob
@Vonbedda
Its like pulling my nails out one by one watching Owen Jones and listening to Adrian Childs on QT extra time….I do it every week and I wonder why?
do you wear a gimp suit whilst doing it lucky you must secretly enjoy the pain
Haha….Owen just spoke about burning injustices
He spoke about all of the problems and not once mentioned uncontrolled immigration which i believe is causing a majority of the burning injustices he spoke of….selective arguing.
Haha that question, what’s corbyns plan…the Labour MP gave a list of nice to haves. That’s not a plan that’s a Christmas wish list.

Ah… ‘in the public interest’.
Like their handling of Brexit?
Today on R4 FoOC
MIke Wendling turned up from BBCTrending with his obsession of shouting “far right”
\\ Looking around a marijuana farm with a local leader of the far-right Proud Boys
The Proud Boys say they are nothing more than a fraternal drinking club, but they regularly show up armed to far-right rallies across the US. On a marijuana farm in Oregon, Mike Wendling meets one of their local leaders – a man who, in between stints farming weed, survives on government disability benefits while also agitating for an end to all forms of welfare.//
and I see the BBC guy who turned up in Hull yesterday to look for immigrants to interview about Brexit
\\ Martin Vennard joins an old boys’ club in Bangladesh. //
Jees one moment he was in Bangladesh next moment he’s in Hull !

This new TR video appears in the thread below KTH’s tweet
As ever I think I agree with all he says
surely any honourable person would
..Yet there is so much dishonour in this country.
It’s good he’s putting this out. I hope thousands are keeping copies of it. He is right, the world is watching. What a disgrace this country has become.
Britain looks rather like Turkey or Iran at this present time.
The spoof snowflake who made a fool of the Lefties: ‘Titania’s’ right-on Twitter nonsense was swallowed by an army of gullible followers… but she’s really the satirical creation of a (male) Oxford academic, writes SARAH VINE
Titania McGrath on Twitter claimed to be radical vegan and woke feminist poet
In reality, she was created by Andrew Doyle, a former private school teacher, 40
Sarah Vine says secret of the character’s success is, of course, her plausibility
Twitter, it is has to be said, is not known for its subtlety or sense of humour. With, that is, one notable exception: Titania McGrath.
For the uninitiated, Titania Gethsemane McGrath is a radical vegan, woke poet committed to feminism, social justice and armed, peaceful protest. She works to expose racism, bigotry and misogyny. As she herself confesses: ‘I was born woke. My wokeness is innate. It flows through me like a magical elixir, keeping my soul perched and poised for the fight.’
Woke, for those of you born before 1990 who may, understandably, be unfamiliar with the term, is to be terribly earnest (or pretentious) about how much you care about social issues, particularly racism.
I first came across this bespectacled, earnest-looking blonde on Twitter last summer, when someone on my timeline re-tweeted something she’d said.
I wasn’t really paying attention and took her words (something offensive about people who voted Brexit, as I recall) at face value. I was about to get all wound up about it (as one does on Twitter) until the friend messaged me to say it was a parody account to send up the modern obsessions with gender fluidity, identity politics and cultural appropriation.

Titania (God they must be so so stupid):
I have always stood up for minorities. As such, it is essential that we respect the wishes of the minority of UK voters and overturn Brexit.
So what if Shamima Begum joined ISIS when she was 15? My sister got caught stealing a croissant on her gap year in Marseille. TEENAGERS MAKE MISTAKES.
I’ve been accused of living in a woke ‘echo chamber’ and that my opinions are out of touch with regular people. But I’ve asked around my close friends and they all agree this isn’t the case.
I’ve been forced to muzzle my dog, because although it identifies as a cat it keeps bloody barking.
White people: stop trying to help destitute Africans. I’m sure they’d rather starve than perpetuate negative racial stereotypes.
Dieting is fat-shaming yourself.
Straight men should be in a zoo.
The media’s coverage of ISIS is underpinned by deep-seated Islamophobia. If it isn’t, how come they never say anyt
Indeed, there are many occasions when she is indistinguishable from the likes of prominent figures such as left-wing journalists Owen Jones, writer Laurie Penny or columnist Afua Hirsch (who once argued Nelson’s column in Trafalgar Square should be removed because it was a symbol of white supremacist patriarchal oppression).
Or, as Titania herself would put it: ‘If you don’t think exactly the same way as me, then you’ve clearly got a lot to learn about diversity.’
One of Titania’s most convincing attributes is her lack of self-knowledge, a tendency to take for granted the privileges that come as standard for her generation — and an inability to see things from anyone else’s point of view.
‘People are far too sentimental about the elderly,’ she writes. ‘I am no longer helping them cross the street. They opted for Brexit, so as far as I’m concerned they can take their chances with the traffic. Remember too that these are the people who fought in the second World War. How can shooting at Germans be anything other than xenophobic?’
I see that the political correctness demanded by our left wing media is destroying our film industry. More and more female leads in films more “BME are the best” messages and so it continues, however when thousands of jobs go in the film industry they won’t look at themselves they will blame Trump and Brexit just as they have done with the car industry with there damming of diesel. 100 of thousands of jobs will be lost throughout Europe. These idiots want us to believe climate change is man made ?? Here is the evidence the science to prove it…ok then the same level of scientific rigour told us 5 years ago we should all drive diesels …piss off lefties……and the next 2 causes will be Veganism and clothing from cheap sources this later pursuit will plunge developing country’s into meltdown as clothing industry’s collapse……dangerous people these lefties with no regard for their actions….oh and by the way you can bet your bottom dollar that the next bond film will be so pc that it will turn millions off and probably be a flop…..
It’s just dawned on me in the early hours that surely a main sticking point for TM when seeking a resolution to the backstop arrangement with the EU, is that they don’t speak English as a first language do they! I mean, it’s the obvious problem staring us right in the face. For example, if I were to walk into a French bathroom centre and ask for something to resolve my backstop, they would try to sell me a loofah wouldn’t they? If I made a fuss, they would then just shrug and walk off. So, in conclusion, the EU are probably not being awkward at all. They are just being foreign and need some extra shouting.
Personally I think the general quality of life in Britain peaked in the early to mid 1990s, probably around 1993 or 1994, and has been slowly getting worse since then. Anyone agree? (I know this sounds a bit like one of those “life was better in the 1950s” cliches). People talk about technology, but the truth is the computers that existed in the 1990s were already powerful enough to do 99% of the things that people needed them to do. Things like mobile phones and GPS devices were already around at that time for people who were keen enough to want to pay a lot of money to own them. (My father bought a GPS in about 1994. It just gave coordinates and you had to use an OS map to see where you were. We still use it sometimes). It’s true that some things have got better since then: it’s just that the things that have got worse have outweighed them in my opinion.
I know what you mean…my impression is that life in general was improving until the Major years, when it stagnated…then in 1997 Blair arrived upon the scene… 🙁
And it’s been downhill ever since…
Personally, I think its the Blairite socialist education systen and immigration system that has produced a nightmare combination of vicous, intolerant, vocal immigrants pandered to by millenial snowflake, dolphin friendly, rainbow vegan twitter twats actively digging their own early graves at the hands of the former.
The evidence is plain to see all around us.
Our many enemies have never been stronger, while our ‘guardians’ have never been weaker.
The latest spin seems to be: don’t exclude children from school, just in case they might go on to stab people. Interesting moral argument.
Hundreds of Muslim parents along with children dressed as superheroes demonstrated outside a primary school today to protest against lessons on gay lifestyles.
Parents have spent weeks protesting over the Birmingham school after they heard ‘No Outsiders’ lessons, featuring stories about same-sex relationships and marriages, would be held in school.
Despite an earlier report the lessons had been scrapped the school has insisted the 470-pupils at Parkfield Community School will be introduced to books including ‘Mommy, Mama and Me’ and ‘King & King’ after Easter.
The school said ‘equalities education’ will continue at the school and that staff will be working in consultation with parents.
However, more than 200 people turned up waving placards and shouting through loudspeakers outside the gates in Birmingham, on Thursday.
They accused gay assistant head Andrew Moffatt of promoting homosexuality and LGBT issues without their consent.
Parents at the school, where 99 per cent of pupils are Muslim, want the lessons scrapped because homosexuality is banned in Islam.
There will be book burnings if the promoters of homosexuality don’t stop. What comes after book burnings, I’m sure history has something to tell us about it.
protestor has the bare faced cheek to quote the equaities act:
‘The school is denying our right as a parent, the equality act of 1994 states it’s the parents right, when it comes to education you cannot teach anything that the parents are not ok with.
Again:
Parents at the school, where 99 per cent of pupils are Muslim, want the lessons scrapped because homosexuality is banned in Islam.
Where are our rainbow millenials and their twitter storms ???
I think this is what is known as an intersectionality clash.
TOADY Watch #1
I suggested the other day that the Dept for Education might have joined the Home Office as a Government Dept. that is ‘not fit for purpose’. The BBC’s lead news item on R4 at 6am is the letter written by Head teachers to parents complaining of under-funding of schools. Government’s response: school education budget is increasing by £2.something billion from £40.something bn., remember in just England – not the UK. Even while waking up, some quick mental arithmetic by Snuffy, suggests that that is a nigh on 5% increase in funding, approximately 3% above inflation.
So the funding is there. It is obviously not reaching the schools. Who stands between schools and all that money?
Dept for Education. Local Education Authorities. Mayors.
The BBC wheel on a female Head from a London school. M/s Low (Lowe? Lo? Loe?) complains on TOADY how short of finance her school is, what desperate measures she has to take, how little money the school has for textbooks and science materials.
Snuffy’s immediate thought?
M/s Low/Lowe/Lo/Loe has seriously upset the Education Dept at City Hall and in the D.f.Education who have pushed her and her school to the back of the queue for funding.
TOADY Watch #2
Anti-Brexit/Anti-No-Deal Brexit campaigning reaches new heights. The RSPCA say we have to stay.
A vet is wheeled on to explain that some drugs for treating sick pets will not reach the UK after Brexit.
Remoaners with verbal ‘guns’: “Cancel Brexit or Muffy the kitten gets it. And yer budgie’s toast!”
Siegfried would love that line.
But the budgie won’t be too trilled about it!
Bbc moaning emole…

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe: Iranian-Briton to get diplomatic protection
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, who has both British and Iranian citizenship, was sentenced to five years in jail in Iran in 2016 after being found guilty of spying. She denies any wrongdoing. Now UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is to increase pressure on Iran to release Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe by giving her diplomatic protection.
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale says this will allow the UK to raise her case with greater ease at international forums like the United Nations. So how does diplomatic protection work? Here’s our guide.
And here’s what it might mean for Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, whose husband and daughter live in the UK.

Jimbo has been bashing the keyboard on this one, obviously inspired by BBC concern for dual nationality women of Britishness these days.
It is however possible that the government of zero talents here changing the rules here to suit will impress the mullahs there slightly less than the BBC.
Maybe it’s special treatment for people working for the BBC whilst spying ….

The editorial integrity media leave at the doors of the studio?
An advert for us to to feed their kids again while they buy guns and bombs:
A civil war between the government of Yemen and Houthi rebel forces has spiraled into the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis.
The Houthi movement began in the 1990s, but the faction did not declare war on the government until 2004, when its leader was killed by the Yemeni government.
The Houthis are an Islamist movement of largely Shi’a Muslims that rose to prominence in criticizing corruption under Saleh.
Toady watch
Justin interviews the wonderful angela rayner MP – the shadow far left education secretary . Now angie is not the sharpest knife in the box and famously once said “ I don’t do numbers “ in relation to being challenged on school funding .
In fairness to Justin – he didn’t have to do too much to make angie sound like – er like Diane Abbot —-and is a great fan of the Money Tree
So my point is – a disfinctional Tory Cabinet and a pee poor far left labour front bench .
It’s a swamp and it needs draining .
Is Daniel Sandford in Contempt?
Certainly contemptible.
Here’s the Act
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/49
Gotta feel a bit for mr sandford . He’s white and male and may not be a ginga sofor a beeboid he is up against it career wise . So the best he can do is get the approval of higher beeboids by going as far left as possible . Immoral way to make a living – but he is a journo so the standard of morality is far lower…
According to wiki he is the son of the Empire ( and might have a chip about it – my note ).Private education after the family left Ethiopia led him to getting a 3rd in physics and electronics at Southampton uni . In my book a 3rd if a ‘fail’ . He lives in London and this is his address ……
Just to add – an interview between sandford and TR is on twitter and it shows the innate ruling class elite attitude of Mr sandford – just by body language . ….now where is that swamp ..?
