    Gerard Batten, UKIP leader, speaking in Durham a few days ago. I wonder if this caused Dancing Terry to visit the North East?
    Mr Batten had a large audience for the meeting which, from a comment by him in his speech, also included Sargon of Akkad.
    This video is about 49 minutes long. I’ve posted it here in the hope that some of the far-left bbc collective are lurking and are curious to know what Mr Batten had to say. In fact he repeats the UKIP policy that they will abolish the TV tax.

    The subject of crowd numbers often comes up, especially as organisers and the BBC place great importance upon them when in lockstep, and the bbc no importance at all if they don’t like the organisers.

    Slightly OT, but if any have 50’ free I’d love any thoughts on this dour lass and her manifesto and message.

    It’s like Wolfie Smiff meets TK Maxx and would be funny if not ultimately dangerous.

    Came across this charmer as her outfit had captured our local media recently. If you skip the initial selective eco excess in the first twenty minutes you will see why, and it is chilling.

    Almost all she lays out indeed came to pass. Played the local press and BBC like a fiddle.

    She had a council chamber rammed with truant kids and as a consequence swung a unanimous vote from a collection of councillors who, if not already activist loons, knew what was good for them.

        No worries. There are many who she relies upon not to look further, like our new ‘journalist profession’. She got uncritical media support to get a ton of kids to bunk off and scream from the balcony, to sway a council into knee jerk herd policy. Nothing to see there, carry on….

        My kids would laugh at it, but I know some who took it seriously.

        And in the spirit of Yaxley-Rise Up I am preparing a Fisk to send to pols, media and, if suddenly they go full censor, social media.

        Anyone know a good, free, transcription app?

          GW, only skimmed the intro but Eschatological Theologians might be puzzled or even have to stifle a smirk at the thought of The Messiah turning up here and finding no humans alive.

          You are right. It is chilling to think that her views are gaining credence and ground in Western society.

          It would appear that the Spirit of AntiChrist is working flat out on Planet Earth.

            It is so bad I would normally have persevered as far as you guys but this was on my doorstep, and all the Machiavellian dodges she drones out as if they were jam recipes have been borne out.

            Just now our regional paper wrote a glowing review of how hundreds of school kids had swayed a small council into ignoring silly stuff like schools, roads and stuff, but needs to send representatives to the next climate conference.

            I have decided to at least offer other thoughts. Parapet time!

    The BBC make their top online story this morning Javid criticised as IS bride’s baby dies.

    The first three rent-a-quotes in their article: a) Diane Abbott b) David Milliband and c) by chance a former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent and friend of Ms Begum’s family. The latter said: “We’ve failed, as a country, to safeguard the child […] this was an entirely avoidable death of a British citizen.”

    That former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent is Dal Babu, who resigned from the Met Police after being rejected for promotion to chief officer rank.

    The Guardian calls him a prominent and eloquent spokesman for Muslim police officers. He has previously said the force’s counter-terrorism command was “virtually all white” and called the Prevent programme a “toxic brand”.

    Was there anything like as much coverage from the BBC after the Manchester Arena bomb about the failure, as a country, to safeguard 23 dead people and 139 wounded?

      Are these the same muslim police officers not fit for duty when on ramadam ?

      Dear Bedfordshire Police,

      During a police documentary called “Traffic Cops” shown at 3pm on 23 May 2016 on the W TV channel there featured a car chase where a youth decamped from a stolen vehicle and escaped.

      A Muslim officer who seemed quite proactive was sick during the incident and he put this down to fasting during Ramadan which affected his performance.

      Please provide an documents relating to any feedback following this incident and also any risk assessments concerning fasting Muslim officers on patrol during the month of Ramadan.

      Yours faithfully,

    One of the country’s most senior Muslim police officers has admitted gross misconduct after instructing a member of staff to pass topics to a candidate ahead of a promotion interview.

    Naveed Malik, who is Assistant Chief Constable of Cambridgeshire Police, admitted gross misconduct by breaching the Standards of Professional Behaviour through Discreditable Conduct.

    Mr Malik, whose father was one of the first Muslim police officers in the UK having been appointed as a constable in 1967, told a misconduct hearing at Wyboston Lakes Conference Centre in Wyboston, Bedfordshire, that he accepted the charge.

    Following your request, searches were conducted at Bedfordshire Police for information relating to the series Traffic Cops that you have watched and requested further detail on.

    Various enquiries have been made across the force to see what information is held, but we have been unable to find any recorded information. We would need to be able to identify the incidents involved in the series and then try to determine which ones relate to your request. However, we have been unable to find any record of this and as such we cannot provide the information you have requested.

    The Act does not cover information that is in someone’s head and we are only obliged to provide information we already have in recorded form. We are unable to find any recorded information in relation to the information requested as the only way we would have of identifying the relevant information would be if someone within the force can remember which incidents the programme relates to.

    Your attention is drawn to the attached sheet which details your right of complaint.

        The death of this baby is a subject for this site because the BBC has been leading with it throughout Saturday morning .

        I admire your compassion but I’m afraid I’m too hard hearted about our enemies to care . The baby wasn’t British – as far as I’m concerned and as I said yesterday – it makes it easier for the 19 year old terrorist to go to somewhere which is not UK .

        I care more about the suffering of victims of her and her husband and their “friends “ in the name of their perverted religion .

          While I agree with Foscari up to a point, I would add that I think – I certainly hope – that Sajid Javid is intelligent enough to ask his contacts at the F&CO and MoD about what would have been required & the risks to all involved to get Shamima Begum (9 months pregnant at the time) out of the camp. Same again after the baby was born.

          IIRC, the Home Sec is on record on the BBC and in the House as stating it would have required putting the lives of diplomats, and I also assume military personnel PLUS the life of Shamima Begum and her newborn, at risk just to reach her, let alone get her out of the country.

          Sajid Javid, again IIRC, stated he had reviewed the situation and refused to put other lives at risk.

          Have we seen any actual evidence that any of these babies ever existed?
          I will believe it when we have DNA evidence, not before.
          If the baby does exist you may rely on the fact that it will remain innoncent for the minimum time possible.
          Because it will be force fed Jihad etc 24/7.
          You may also rely on the fact that Muslims despise you because you are not one.
          This “loving thine enemy” and “turning the other cheek” whilst waiting for “the meek to inherit the earth” or even “divine intervention” is a strategy which will fail.

      I would have had no problem with the baby, if it even existed, being sent back here without the mother. Provided it was not adopted into the same sort of community that allowed its mother to consider beheadings perfectly normal.

      None of these was an option.

      I don’t accept it’s a Muslim. Being Muslim is a belief, not a race and it would be far too young to have any belief.

      However, I don’t believe there was ever a baby. Or two previous. We’re being taken for mugs, with the active connivance of the BBC and the rest of the MSM.

      I have no doubt the silly b*tch will land up back here. In truth, what option do we have when by all accepted law she’s British? Why should we dump our problem on someone else? My real issue is that she won’t be dealt with properly on her return and will be treated as some sort of celebrity.

      Don’t go, man. I enjoy your posts. You are clearly a decent, humane person. Nobody is going to come down on you like a ton of bricks for having compassion for an innocent baby.
      Shamima Begum’s child reminds me of a moral dilemma in the film “Gone Baby Gone”. Have you seen it? I think it is difficult to know what the right course of action is in some cases.

      I accept your position and would agree that the baby is innocent and deserves protection from someone, certainly from the community that produced its mother.
      But, I have something to add which brings us back to BBC Bias. 1. Was there a baby? Did it exist or was it fakery, part of our Government and the state media’s attempt to reduce the righteous anger regarding those killers who may have been carrying out the Government’s anti Assad policy?
      2. If there was a baby, and she had lost two before that, then how close together were these pregnancies, and what chance did these close pregnancies have given the unhygienic shitholes these people inhabit?
      Sadly, there are no journalists around who would care to investigate this story.

        Was the baby called Aylan Kurdi by any chance?

        The baby, if it existed, was a prop in a psyop by a jihadi who would kill you in the name of allah without a second thought.

        If the baby could have been rescued, would its mother have been willing to part with it, or would she have insisted on accompanying it? Can you imagine the scenes on TV (because it would all have been filmed) of Special Forces snatching a baby from the arms of a muslim mother? Talk about a piece of agitprop for the jihadis.

        In reality, the rescue of this baby (if it existed) was never on. No British politician could justify the risk to British life to rescue a traitor and her alleged child. I would never volunteer for such a mad mission, so I have no right to expect a British soldier to risk his life to help a traitor. She rejected our country, and pledged allegiance to the islamic state. So be it. She is welcome to stay there for the rest of her life, however short that may be.

    From our own correspondent watch

    That awful beeboid Stephen Sakker went to Hungary to give the heroic Victor Orbsn a blast of snowflake BBC assassination .

    Sakker got nowhere . No one would talk to him – he says he even got thrown out of a cafe in Mr Orbans ‘village when he started asking questions .

    Hungarians are obviously ahead of their time because they refuse the BBC . Why talk to them ? Why interact ? There will only be one version reported and it won’t be the truth .

    I’m sad that they let Sakker in the country at all as he turns up with that colonial attitude the BBC brings with its sneer to other countries it considers inferior .

      Earlier this week I watched a rerun of The Winslow Boy on Talking Pictures. Near the end there is a line that always makes me think of the BBC, even though the film is set in 1912.

      The press are clamouring for a statement by Arthur Winslow and he asks Sir Robert Morton what he should say. Morton’s reply is: “Why I hardly think it matters, whatever you say will have very little bearing on what they write”.

    BBC reporting that man has been charged with the murder of Jodie Chesney. The BBC (report below) fails to mention he is a Croation. Now why would they fail to mention that ????

    A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 17-year-old girl who was stabbed to death in a park in east London.

    Jodie Chesney was knifed in the back near a children’s playground in Harold Hill, Romford, last Friday.

    Manuel Petrovic, 20, was remanded in custody after appearing at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court.

    Mr Petrovic, of Highfield Road, Romford, will next appear at the Old Bailey on Monday.

    Saw your comment on the sidebar here re the disappearing of the Panodrama comment from YouTube – so I went there and it’s indeed gone. Saw your comment reproducing the disappeared one.
    Perhaps they deleted it because he called the BBC and Guardian “wankers.” (Or perhaps he deleted it himself, if possible.)

    Dunno, there’s a lot worse all the time in YouTube comments

    Of course this is the same Geoffrey Cox MP who back in 2016 failed to declare £400,000 pounds of outside earnings… in that case of course a prosecution was not in the public interest… it was just an accident, because i’m sure you all know how it is for £400,000, to slip your mind.

    Subject electricity smartmeters not BBC bias.
    Update to my post recently.
    This is about my supplier, NPower.
    But I would not be surprised to discover other suppliers have the same policies.
    I have contacted NPower, several times, to advise them I will never have a smartmeter.
    Twice they emailed me confirming that I had been removed from their smart meter customer list.
    Yet after a couple of months I get another email advising me of my appointment when they will fit my smartmeter!

    This time I approached the problem from a different direction, one which works with most organisations, and with which I expect many of you are familiar.

    I told them I was moving to another supplier, instant reaction.
    Why do I want to move?
    Because I am sick of being pestered and harassed about a smartmeter I have repeatedly told them I will not have fitted.
    NPower will investigate and ‘phone me back shortly (heard this before).

    NPower phone back promptly, as promised.
    It’s the fault of the computer, every eight weeks it generates a list of customers who have not had a smartmeter fitted and sends them an email. Those British Computers with Norwegian names.
    But this time NPower really, really, have permanently deleted me from the list, and will not contact me again about smartmeters.
    In eight weeks I expect to receive another appointment.

    I hope this is of some use to a BBBC user.

      “She took advantage of the position she was in to give her side a bit of help in the international class struggle.”

      Well not quite, she infiltrated into a position chosen specifically because it would enable the traitor to assist

      Out of interest, what is meant by the word aspiring? Is it used like the term far right to mean anything and nothing?
      I mean, for example, was he studying law, had he shown an aptitude for the law, did his best mate tell him he should be a lawyer?
      Or is it yet another example of MSM fakery?

    Briefly 2 former spads gave an analysis of the variations on Brexit in the week to come as we get closer to the wire .

    Also on the programme was the lovely fragrant Stella Creasy and Ian Duncan Smith on knife crime in Londonistan .

    I haven’t heard a ‘fair ‘ ‘balanced’ programme on the BBC for a very long time – back to normal next week with a beeboid presenter …

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-47485371

    So, 3,623 last year. Only 3,611 this year. A drop of 12 entrants.

    That’s a drop by a fraction of 1%.

    Dear BBC, this is fake news to suit your constant anti-Brexit narrative.

    She gave it the Flabbott line that Saj had killed this child and he stuck to the true Brit line about everything having been asserted (by a terrorist) andthat there was no proof that any child was hers and her Dutch husband’s.

      Quote: “Say what you like about Isis but they’re not Islamophobic”
      \\ I guess if the woke read this book (which I doubt), they will damn it as far-right propaganda
      .. and not find it amusing, since dogmatism kills all sense of humour.
      … its satire is a direct hit on the awful state of the left, in all its nihilism, narcissism and illogic,
      … and its self-defeating, petty-minded thought policing. Woke is no joke. //

      Sprinkled throughout the book are real quotes that demonstrate a worrying left-wing “truthiness”.
      Such as the US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
      … “I think there’s a lot of people more concerned about
      .. being precisely factually and semantically correct than about being morally right.”

      Or David Lammy MP on the referendum result
      : “The government’s ‘will of the people’ mantra is bollocks.”

    “The government decision about Begum’s baby is being HEAVILY criticised”

    #1 There was NO decision about the baby
    \\ Begum herself had said she would not allow the baby to come to the UK without her.
    Sky aired that interview numerous times.
    She wouldn’t let the child come here. //

    #2 Criticised by who
    The jailing of Tommy was ” HEAVILY criticised”, just not by the metroLib establishment
    The BBc is saying that metroLib establishment voices count and other don’t

    It’s not just a TR thing … again and again the PUBLIC through opinion polls do “HEAVILY criticise” many government decisions
    .. but no reports about that begin with similar phrases

      I understand the terrorists’ father was interviewed by the BBC in Bangladesh . It woukd be ideal for the terrorist to join her father in the home country – she could take her ‘ husband’ terrorist with her and we could stop wasting words on something of no value .
      With a bit of luck the last piece of real estate that ISIS controls will be flattened very soon – along with the terrorists occupying it .

    The BBC gets its priorities straight giving front page reporting, telling us that yesterday:

    “Shamima Begum: Sajid Javid criticised as baby dies”

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47506145

    Hidden away on the BBC website also news from yesterday, but far, far less important:

    “Twenty arrested in Wakefield child sexual exploitation inquiry”

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-47501300

    That report describes 2 victims and 20 perpetrators… that’s nearly 10 perpetrators per victim…. we are talking here about massive child rape, not some filthy jihaddi bride..

    So BBC, why is Shamima Begum who knowingly ran away to join a group beheading infidels… more important than yet another instance of child gang rape?

    To put this in contest, in the UK There are estimated to be up to a million child gang rape victims:

    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/child-sex-abuse-gangs-could-5114029

    Other recent court cases indicate 8 perpetrators per victim (55 perpetrators, 7 victims… and we routinely see 8-10 perpetrators per victim, and often over 100 rapes per victim)

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8195535/arrest-fifty-five-men-west-yorkshire/

    A million victims would mean 10 million Islamic child rape perpetrators, and maybe 100 million rapes….

    Even if the numbers are over inflated, and the real numbers are just 10% of this… we’d still be looking at a MILLION perpetrators and 10 MILLION rapes.

    Yet we only have 1.5 million Muslim men in the country… can this really be a “minority” on Muslims?

    The BBC makes me want to vomit, i truly feel sick… i’m pretty sure that 90% of teh British public could not give a toss if Shamima Begum was dead.

    Decent normal people would be far more concerned about millions of instances of Islamic child rape, if only the filth at the BBC and in the rest of the degenerate filth in MSM would report it, properly and in context.
