So when the BBC don’t like someone or what they stand for (so anyone not far far far left) they go to the ends of the earth to dig up some dirt on them. Hours spent looking for any tweet or Facebook post that could discredit them , no matter how many years old or in what context it was made. It’s always been their way.
Digging up the past, even going back to find any tiny mis -demeaner they did at school 40 yrs ago.
So , very interesting that they are not even acknowledging that this daft old bint who started this petition that has 760 million signatures, has quite clearly stated in a Facebook post that she would like to obtain a gun and shoot the Prime minister !!!!! It’s there in black and white . People have tweeted it on the BBC feed, but no mention of it from any msm.
Imagine of that was someone who was ever so slightly to the right ??? The likes of that old cow Sourbry wouldn’t be off our screens telling us what a right wing thug they are for posting that. But as it suits their narrative …..SILENCE !!!!!
Clear as day bias.
What I don’t get and what I will never get is why people are calling for a second referendum owing to the ‘lies’ spun by the leave campaign. ‘We know more now’ , they say. Let’s take an example: The disputed £350 million we will save per week (if we leave the EU) should, by other accounting, be around £181 million and had we known this apparently we wouldn’t have voted leave. Really? I mean really? Would the average Joe in the street have been affected by the lower figure? “Well I told Harry down the pub that if our nation’s weekly donation was anything around the 350 million mark, I’d vote to leave. Of course, if it is only 180 to 200 million , i’d feel inclined to stay.”
Ah but if you notice – they’re shifting from the second referendum, which they can’t guarantee winning, to all out simply ‘Revoke Article 50.’
Gav
The other issue is the nature of any second referendum question – looking at comments this morning in the MSM there would have to be a deal to leave … which really is corrupting the system .
I can’t see a justification for a referendum anyway – we should be out on the 29th as promised by the PM – whose word is always solid – right ?
chancy, problem is that our ‘donation’ (as you so gently put it) to the EU is the higher figure. That is what we – the UK population – are taxed to.
‘We’ do not get the rebate back. That money goes to EU-approved projects within our shores.
Even ostensibly intelligent and well-educated Remain voters do not understand that, just like the one who I tried to explain it to earlier this week.
U2S, the best reply to this was on Toady the day before the referendum. John Humphrys was going on about how the £350 million was a lie because of the proportion of the money that the EU then spent in the UK. Whoever he was berating turned it round by asking him what we paid as the basic rate of income tax. JH said 20%, but was told that by his logic we didn’t pay any income tax as all the money raised from us was then spent on services for us, so the net payment was nil. JH changed the subject.
RJ, I missed that. And it was back when my AllBran listening went with the BBC’s TOADY Prog every day.
Am not surprised The Humph moved the discussion on. Am sure he didn’t want to be asked about his (legal) avoidance arrangements on his vast income.
“Organisers of the “Put It To The People” campaign say more than a million people joined the march before rallying in front of Parliament.”
“Hundreds of thousands of people have marched in central London calling for another EU referendum, as MPs search for a way out of the Brexit impasse.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47678763#
Make your mind up , is it a Million or Thousands ?
@ViscountBraith1
1h1 hour ago
Crowd size is 169,483
Seems a bit low but he calculated fairly last time.
Diane Abbot estimated the crowd at around 6 billion, including those marching through The Vatican City and Venezuela. If there is another referendum she would like to see a choice between Remain or Revoke Article 50, because they are the options that most people in the HoC and the BBC have been campaigning for since the Great Betrayal of the Establishment in 2016. She has asked the Speaker if she can play her joker, and all London referendum votes will count double. Mr. Bercow has agreed, citing the 1973 Jeux sans Frontieres precedent.
lol :-)))
Ditto ditto ha ha
“She has asked the Speaker if she can play her joker”
Spoilt for choice in the House of Commons.
Reckon these folks would be happy had we lost the war and had Germans telling them what to do?
Certainly would tick their antisemitic box and they wouldn’t have to suffer from that tiresome democracy.
Taff, they lead with the figure that the organisers claim then bury their own, lower, figure in the text. They are careful not to mention the real, even lower, figure. The casual reader takes away the organisers figure as being the real one.
Utterly shocking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, not vaguely – the Mueller Report is out with no further indictments of anyone including Donald Trump.
“Performance at Welsh A&E departments in December was worse than the same time last year, official figures show.”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46976137
Another good reason for getting rid of the Welsh Assembly and spending the money saved on the NHS in Wales.
Disappointing news – the BBC led cancel A50 petition has only hit 4.6 million multiple signatures . It’s slowing down .
I suppose the March March remainers are busily patting each other on the back and exchanging selfies ….
Soubry will be sloshed on G&T by now playing the “ death threat “ card for all its worth …
Only 4.6 million signatures?
The other 10 million Remainers have obviously changed their minds as they now know the folly of what they were voting for.
I watched on BBC 24 Hour News several days ago two MPs being interviewed in the House of Expenses as to what would now be the best option for Brexit. One was Conservative and the other may have been Labour, but I was not at that point taking a lot of notice.
But, they both agreed that there should be another Referendum. The options they preferred were as follows:
A. Yes to May’s ‘Withdrawal Agreement’ document.
or
B. Yes to staying in the EU.
The BBC interviewer failed to challenge them.
Dover,
That was the unchallenged assertion of Jo Swinson on Skew News earlier today as well, a people’s vote with two options, May’s Deal or Remain.
They really do take us for mugs.
I have tried to point out to the more thoughtful remainers that they are running a huge risk with this country’s future. To put it bluntly there is a risk that a charismatic demagogue will emerge and plunge this country into real chaos not the BBc pretend chaos as of now. It has often been a factor in history including in this country. Who had heard of Cromwell in 1642? or of Bonaparte in 1789.
It will be possible to portray the failure to leave the EU as a betrayal by the Commons and the Lords aided and abetted by most of the business and civil service establishment in league with Brussels. This will be easy to do and as it has some truth convincing to enough of us . This will put a sizeable percentage of the population on a collision course with the state and more importantly with the Commons. That the state has the means as always to crush opposition is clear but our state is so enfeebled that I doubt it has the courage to use the police and the security services directly against the people.
I could well be wrong though. AS for the army that remains an unknown quantity.
For this reason alone and irrespective of your view about the EU it is essential that brexit happens and soon. The peace of the land is at stake . it is too dangerous to overturn such an important vote, The so called petition is exactly that. it seeks to overturn the vote of 2016. it would effectively disenfranchise 17.4 million voters. It is absolutely anti our traditions and very dangerous. If it succeeds the future will be bleak .
Dave, totally agree – at the risk of being lazy – I have copy and pasted my post over from yesterdays Con Woman website.
“Well said, Rolf – we are certainly standing on a ‘cliff edge’, but not the one the massed forces of ‘remain’ imagined or obsess about.
These rich, spoiled, naive and selfish ‘children’ think they are getting their own way because they are cleverer, richer and more deserving than the rest of us, but they are playing with fire.
The bottom line is that in their desperation to maintain their own personal economic advantage, they have willingly jettisoned all the accepted democratic conventions that have kept the peace for generations in order to force their own way on the majority. They have undermined respect for the accepted order and only chaos can follow, as others less accepting of democracy will use this to their advantage.
You spit in people’s faces enough and eventually you get punched in the face yourself. Let’s hope they are ready for what happens next.
They have sown the wind, but unfortunately all of us will reap the whirlwind. Let’s hope they are pleased with themselves.”
I think this is apposite regarding the Remainer behaviour:
Taken from wikiquotes, Roper represents the Remainers, Moore represents normal people who want to abide by the laws and decisions made under the law:
“A Man for All Seasons (1960)
Roper: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law!
More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country’s planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man’s laws, not God’s — and if you cut them down — and you’re just the man to do it — d’you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake.”
Only 5 days until we are out of the EU.
Day 9 of Christchurch, and it’s still front-page news on al-beeb.
“Christchurch shootings: The people killed as they prayed.”
What is emphatically NOT front-page news is the fact that the Utrecht murderer has now admitted to three charges:
-murder or manslaughter with a terrorist intent
-attempted murder or manslaughter with a terrorist intent
-making threats with terrorist intent
So the fake news about a ‘family dispute’ was front page, but the correction that it was actually good old-fashioned Islamic terrorism is nowhere to be seen. (This is a standard bbc technique of disinformation, by the way: get the lies out quick, and the corrections very slowly and very ‘discreetly’.)
Also nowhere to be seen are the 52 women and children killed and 100 homes destroyed in Islamic Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria at about the same time https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/world/hundreds-of-christians-killed-in-nigeria-attacks
Nor the hundreds murdered and mutilated worldwide week after week, after week, after week.
https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Some terror victims matter more than others apparently. Much, much more.

Put’s our far left cultural Marxist State Broadcaster’s “News” into perspective.
The A50 ‘sign often ‘petition is at 4.8 million . The MSM has helpfully provided online links direct to the site and the State broadcaster has helpfully provided a picture of it …. it’d as though they wanted people to sign it ?
Apparently the Sunday papers talk about getting rid of the current PM .who cares ?theyll just get another remainer . The Conservative party is heading for oblivion with a Mcdonell socialist land slide to follow … as members of the EU. Happy days for the State Boadcaster .
I recently went into a betting shop and put £1 on a horse. My horse didn’t win, so I went back into the shop to complain. I asked them if I could bet on that race again but the cashier said “No”.
I think this is disgraceful. Has anyone else had this experience? Would you like to join me in setting up a protest march in London?
And I thought I was alone in having a penchant for three legged donkeys ridden by gibbering idiots. Remainers don’t just want the chance to bet again on a different horse, they want the race rerun again and again until their three legged donkey wins.
What a cracking analogy!
I hope you don’t mind if I borrow it…
Last week I reached the point where I could only listen to the BBC in short bursts. I have a new reflex action “New Zealand President – Jacinda…………” – Reach for OFF switch.
Do we here also inhabit some sort of truth bubble? So many of the people outside seem so unconcerned of what the BBC/MSM are doing. I am beginning to wonder that if Jihadis performed mass executions of parishioners outside churches on a Sunday the BBC would spin it in such a way to try and justify the shooting.
I can imagine the headline “Followers of violent backward religion shot by guns outside building” Or maybe “Muslim Community worried by far right backlash after shooting by radicals”
Can people not see where all of this is going?
When you consider how all of these new “hate laws are being used and how the MSM and the BBC seem to revel in their lies I am reminded of the Orwell quote “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”.
Worrying times.
I have got to the same point Oaknash. I stopped watching BBC TV several years ago and used to catch up on events via the website. Bit by bit my mind is ‘smothering’ anything that starts, ‘Meanwhile, the leader of the opposition Je…’ or ‘Trump in new…’ or ‘Brexit woes…’. To be fair, the site still offers some useful information, e.g. the football results (although watch out for the occasional headline that looks odd like “Luxembourg beat Brazil in..’.because it will be women’s football) and the weather and science tabs, if you can bear the new pc names for hurricanes and the assumption that the sea is drying out and we’re all going to fry by sunlight streaming through waste plastic. Actually, come to think of it, it’s all crap isn’t it?
Oak.
Great post.
Consider the following examples as proof of the leftist elites are spiralling out of control in the western world:
“55-year-old Nasrin Sotoudeh faces spending most of the rest of her life in prison and an excruciating lashing simply because she defended seven women who had been arrested for protesting Iran’s hijab law by removing their head coverings in public”
https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/scott-slayton/iranian-attorney-sentenced-to-38-years-148-lashes-for-defending-women-who-removed-their-head-scarves.html
And this one to prove that its not only religious people being persecuted. This guy is a Atheist yet they got him too:
“MRU cancels speech by ex-Muslim-turned-atheist in light of New Zealand terror attack”

I think one of the things that really gets up my nose is the sheer predictability any BBC. Nearly every piece of “news” (if it is at all possible) will have some pro progressive/pro PC spin shoehorned into it. It treats people as utter cretins unable to think for themselves. Though these days I am beginning to wonder whether the BBC has got that one right!
Yes they select the news, but even that is not enough.
So on Radio 4 on Friday we get From Fact to Fiction
If the news doesn’t quite provide the message that they want they commission something to fill the gap.
Rob Burley is also engaged in full hand to hand.
Have to wonder if constantly telling Remain loons how on their side you are is the best way to placate them… and somehow forget all the rest who are not Remain.
Rob is now posting how much the bbc has supported the march every few minutes. Even to the extent of not even hiding behind a ‘reply’.
Thanks Dazzer for putting this up. Everybody ought to know what is going on. It is truly horrifying, and all financed by us the taxpayers and authorized by us the electors.
Is ‘The Independent’ even a paper?
BBC TV News at 09.50 this morning.
The day’s newspapers discussed with two male snowflakes.
Female presenter asks if there would have been moves to remove May if she had been a man? One snowflake male agrees and says that the Conservative party is offering her a patronising hanky because she’s a woman.
The BBC bring there own brand of feminism to the table.
Could the reason perhaps be because May is incompetent and a traitor?
We really need to live in a separate state away from white middle-class EU-loving socialist idiots.
I’d exile the lot of them to an island somewhere, I’m sure New Zealand is mad enough to take them in.
Many on here are rightly concerned about civilisation-destroying levels of immigration. Especially from those of a certain religious persuasion. Plus how to fix the economy so that it encourages a prosperous meritocratic society.
And don’t forget completely reforming Welfare, Law & Order, Education, Health Service. And of course to summarily abolish the BBC etc etc.
There are so many things we could achieve to improve the lives of ordinary people in this country. But our voices are drowned out or outright suppressed.
We cannot make any meaningful changes while we allow a bunch of smug, Guardian reading, Big-State supporting eco-lunatics to virtue-signal their way down the path to mutual destruction.
If we want to largely halt immigration because of demographic fears for the future, it isn’t the immigrants themselves we need to be angry at – rather it’s our own comfortably-off fellow citizens who really do despise their nation.
Just a brief light interlude from the Brexit discussion and the horrors of Christchurch, if you don’t mind…
Do any of you remember (or is it my old memory playing tricks?) yonks ago, if something particularly naughty was to appear on the telly…perhaps some smooching or canoodling, in the top right corner a little symbol would appear. If I remember rightly it was an orange triangle to warn us of an impending saucy scene. It gave you time to pack your daughter off to do her homework or to shuffle granny off to the kitchen to make a cup of tea.
I think we could have something similar today, though not for scenes of a sexual nature, but for when the audience are about to be lectured about some irrelevant PC codswallop. Maybe a wagging finger would pop up…but this time in the top left corner of the screen.
I can be sitting there watching a pleasant period drama and suddenly I’m confronted by completely incongruous opinions that have been clumsily shoehorned into the story and just wouldn’t have existed at the time.
For instance… A few months ago I was enjoying an episode of Endeavour when, without prior warning, the Chief Inspector started lecturing us about the dreadful speeches of Enoch Powell. Where did that come from? It didn’t fit and it ruined the story.
If I relied on the television for my historical knowledge I’d believe that Elizabethan London was heavily populated by Africans.
Perhaps the next time I’m watching Midsomer Murders and the head of a brewery is depicted by an Asian woman, I could be warned by Chami Face Ache’s miserable mush appearing in the corner of the screen I’d get fair warning. Put the kettle on…
If a really irritating scene is about to be inflicted on us maybe little Owen Jones pouting face would pop up. During the latest BBC production of Pride and Prejudice and the black Mr Darcy is about to confess his deep and undying love for the transgender Mr Wickham, or should that be Ms Wickham…Up pops little Owen. Job done.
There’s an almost endless number of sour faced left wing miseries whose countenances could warn us of impending irritation.
Being lectured about slavery during an episode of Granchester, Diane Abbott’s fat chops could suddenly appear two minutes prior to the offending scene.
Any historical piece that strains to get a dig at Brexit into the story and we could see Yvette Cooper sneering down at us.
Caroline Lucas, David Lammy, Anna Soubry, Jon Sopel and the Dimbleby brothers.
Blimey, we’re spoiled for choice…
“Caution – the following programme about doctors/hospitals/vets may contain scenes of doctors/hospitals/vets, which some viewers may consider disturbing.
The news may also contain “fake items”, which should be avoided – you will not see a little red square in the top left hand corner of your screen, unless a truth, or fact is about to be broadcast”.
If you whizz through the various tv channels just to see what appears it is amazing how often the people who are shown on the screen are of not immediately native appearance. We are being shown a version of ourselves that is at variance with what we experience in ordinary life, in order to propel us towards the acceptance of a transformed society.
The BBC ‘People’s Vote March’ : the reporter at the march gleefully estimates that there are ‘hundreds of thousands’ of people taking part…we return to the studio to be told there are ‘millions’ at the march 🙂
Ah yes, the ‘People’s Vote’…yawn. Blimey! Will Parliament debate what the question(s) should be? How many years will it take before our MPs come to the conclusion that the question(s) can only be decided by a…er…’People’s Vote’? 🙁
“Public support now”: that word “now” is having to bear a heavy weight.
Way back when I was young, I believed what I heard and saw on bbc radio and television.
It never crossed my mind that the bbc would lie and push its own views out whilst hiding the news it didn’t want known.
Propaganda was something the Germans (like Goebbels) and the Russians did and the only place you could rely on hearing the truth was the bbc.
The newspapers settled along their political lines so you knew what you were buying. Fair enough.
Since the internet has now become widely available and many other viewpoints are now out there it’s become blindingly obvious that the bbc is completely left wing and is pushing its far left politics as hard as it can.
We on here don’t need examples as we all know the bbc is fake news with its constant anti Brexit and Trump, pro immigration and islem, pushing everything like remain petitions while ignoring and non platforming the likes of UKIP, loading every political show such as QT with 1 leaver against 4 remainers (and the specially selected audience) and having every ‘entertainment’ drama, comedy, wildlife, reality etc show ridiculously skewed into a white minority (the baddies) with noble immigrant asylum seekers or a certain peaceful religion over represented as the victims and saintly good guys.
That is the norm today.
It got me thinking.
How much of what I heard in ‘the olden days’ was actually true?
Was the bbc always as dishonest as it is now.
Has the history of the last century or so been a big lefty lie or has the bbc been corrupt only for the last 20-30 years.
How much of what I think happened did in the way it’s been told by the bbc.
I believe much more of what I read in the comments now than what I hear (or just as important, what I DON’T hear, is not reported or is hidden) on the bbc (and sky)
There’s a huge job for any future head of the bbc to start the big journey to try and regain some trust if it is to exist.
We don’t believe you any more bbc.
Emanuel,
My views echo yours. When young , I was born in 51, it also never crossed my mind that the BBC was anything other than scrupulously fair. But then three events occurring at roughly the same time made me begin to see the truth more clearly. These were:
1. The election of Lady Thatcher and the non stop attempts by the BBC to undermine her premiership. Very like the attacks on a President Trump at the present time.
2. The Falklands war which made me realise that the BBC was certainly not pro British and if anything was anti British.
3. The clear bias shown in favour of the IRA which permeated every aspect of the BBC output from news to drama.
I think that the bias has grown and is now overt with no attempt made to be impartial.
Of course the BBC has , since then, completely embraced multiculturalism and just loves immigration and is ramming it down our throats, same with Brexit. As I get older I hate and despise this organisation which I truly believe has done more harm to Britain than any other institution.
BH on Radio 4 say they are calling it the Third Referendum .
No mention about 45 years between the first and second .

I think it important to plaster that over every BBC Twitter article that mentions the 1 million +. Anyone who wishes to refute should come up with their own methodology, not the “wet finger in the air” calculation that the media seem to be falling for hook, line and sinker.
I don’t care if there were a million people on the March. There were 17.4 million people voted to leave the European Union, leave the single market, leave the customs union and leave the jurisdiction of the ECJ.
Yes that’s what all 17.4 million voted for because that’s what Cameron’s leaflet said a vote to leave would mean.
The question didn’t mention a deal. It said “Leave the European Union or Remain in the European Union”.
I’m sick of hearing the remoaners talking about a compromise or an arrangement to please all.
When the conservatives get voted in they don’t adopt Labour policies to keep those who voted Labour happy or vice versa.
Leave won the vote. Stuff the Remoaners they lost. End of.
A former colleague of mine always referred to the wet finger methodology as a “SWAG” – a Scientific Wild Assed Guess
Some interesting sanity checks: Tiananmen Square in China is 440000 m2 and has a quoted capacity 0f 600000. The totals above show 94500 m2 for the entire march in built up areas with fountains and obstacles. Tiananmen is a big empty square. So, a square 4-5 times bigger than the entire march has a capacity of 60% of the march. The largest square in the world in Dalian would hold 2.4 million people but is 18.5 times bigger than the entire march.
I don’t like the ‘like’ function. I should have two ‘likes’ not only one ‘like’ to like the posts of my compatriots. 🙁 My ‘likes’ should count more than the ‘likes’ of others because others are too uneducated to know what they are ‘liking’. I should also have the right to erase the ‘likes’ I don’t like on the posts I don’t like. Because I’m like……..superior. Only superior people like me should have the right to ‘like’ posts. 🙂
As expected the BBC have been in an almost orgasmic state over the alleged numbers participating in yesterdays losers march. Yesterday I was travelling on a very crowded train to Alexandra Palace. The vast majority of passengers in my carriage had an Eastern European accent and from the few who were speaking in English it was pretty clear that they were heading to Central London to join the march. Clearly you can’t stop non UK citizens marching but I wonder how many more people originally from other EU Countries who had no voting rights in the referendum swelled the numbers .
They will just move on to some other way of hounding the President. But I hope that millions of Americans who believed the collusion narrative now see that they were being lied to for over two years by most of the MSM. They were knowingly being fed fake news, just as the President has been saying they were. Surely this must result in millions more Americans deserting the MSM and distrusting the Democrats. If it does it’s good news for 2020. If the MSM keep on hounding Trump they are likely to alienate even more of their viewers and listeners. I am growing more optimistic about four more years!
Doublethinker.
If I were Trump I would have an accountant tot up the complete cost of the democrats obsession with Trump and the Russians so that Trump can say to the American population how much this has cost them so that they can decide if the cost is worth it.
The time spent on this by politicians and all the hangers on and Trump haters must be in the 100’s of millions and they have got nothing from it (except lawyers and the like)
Maybe the same could be said about the antidemocratic remoaners who have cost us many millions by not accepting the democratic result of GB’s biggest ever vote.
They are still costing us many millions and, if they succeed, 100’s of millions…..and our freedom.
When I saw a bit of the march yesterday, I spotted only 1 or 2 UK flags in the sea of EU flags and thought, “My God, it’s the Nazis in modern day form!” Our flag replaced by a foreign power’s.
That is highly significant.
Will May go?
Not if she sticks to the Merkel handbook.
And even if she does, she leaves certain toxic ‘achievements’ behind her:
i. The humiliation of Britain;
ii. The unparalleled weakening of ‘her’ party;
iii. The sabotage of the people’s will;
iv. Political chaos;
v. Something we have all forgotten about in the fuss about EU membership: her signing of the UN ‘Migrant Compact’. That little number may yet come to bite us in a big way, when the UN changes its provisions from ‘advisory’ to a legal obligation under international law, as I suspect it will. It will then take over ‘migration’ into signatory states. Very high level of toxicity here, potentially fatal. As I understand it, yet again something you cannot withdraw from once you’ve signed up.
Worst ever UK PM? No question. Perhaps not as deliberately devious as a Blair or a Heath. But beyond incompetent.
We may well find out that UN membership is even worse than EU membership. Many countries, including the US, were wise enough not to sign. But not our Dear Leader.
“her signing of the UN ‘Migrant Compact’. That little number may yet come to bite us in a big way, when the UN changes its provisions from ‘advisory’ to a legal obligation under international law, as I suspect it will. ”
Wow which rock have you been hiding under? The UN changed it to a legal requiremenr as soon as the ink was dry on the signatures!

And not ‘under’. Within.
(Nothing to do with an American musical comedy, by the way.)

Eventually she will go. But not before she has handed the UK back to the voters. That way she can be certain Brexit won’t happen and that herself and every cabinet member will have achieved their ultimate purpose in their political lives. I’m now depressed.
Cheer up, vesnadog.
They have merely manged to push the silent majority very close to the point where this whole thing will blow up in their faces.
I’d also like to think that we’ve encouraged dissent in countries like The Netherlands, where before no one would have dared to vote/ dreamed of voting for what the beeb likes to call ‘the extreme right’, in large numbers. It is possible that we have strengthened the Salvinis and Orbans of this world. Looking at commentators (rather than journalists) in the German and French press, the UK vote has actually been an inspiration. I do not despair.
The resistance is growing in leaps and bounds. The Mays, Liddingtons and Shapps’s of this world (and other dwarfs) wouldn’t begin to understand what the ice crust they are standing on, is doing. Their little minds are focused on power, unaware of the water rising up their calves.
The EU apparatchiks are sitting on a powder keg, which is why they are going to such great lengths to intimidate us. Their little empire of soviets will go the same way as their inspiration – late, great USSR.
And when that happens, the apparatchiks of the EU Nomenklatura will be able to view their posteriors.
…and just imagine how comforting it must be to have Michael Gove ‘right behind’ you….
The knifing epidemic could get even worse.
What do you think? 10 or 15 years, perhaps in Londonistan or Birmingham. Not forgetting Bradford of course.

I see the delightful Richard Branson has crawled out of his hole in the Virgin Islands and told the rest of us that there should another referendum. Apparently we are ‘dangerously close to full scale disaster’. When we leave the EU (I say optimistically) I think he should be stripped of his knighthood and lose his British passport. Another contemptuous example of our liberal elite that we can well do without. Perhaps he could shoot himself into space and not return. Or, maybe, just shoot himself.

More that Al beeb won’t tell you.
“Last week an Iranian asylum seeker was refused entry to this country because the Home Office considered his religion too violent. Ah, good, you might be thinking: at last they’re getting to grips with those jihadists. You’d be wrong. This man is a Christian. A convert from Islam. The immigration officials wrote back to him insisting that the Holy Bible was “filled with imagery of revenge, destruction, death and violence”, and quoted a few verses of Revelation for good measure.”
Rod Liddle in The Sunday Times. He continues:
“Never mind that the UK is, through our culture and constitution, a Christian country. Never mind, either, that the penalty for apostasy in Iran can be death, by hanging, shooting, stoning or being pushed off a “high place”. There are lots of things the state will kill you for in Iran, probably including wearing joke false breasts in front of an ayatollah. But apostasy is just about the worst.
This poor bloke wasn’t the first Iranian Christian to be denied entry to this country because of his faith. Another was told by the same idiots: “You affirmed in your asylum interview record that Jesus is your saviour, but then claimed that He would not be able to save you from the Iranian regime. It is therefore considered that you have no conviction in your faith and your belief in Jesus is half-hearted.”
I wonder of which faith the moronic Home Office official was who wrote such excrement?
The enemy are no longer at the gates – they are now in the fortress and MANNING the gates.

So the Muslims have taken over the immigration system – that’s what I’d do . It’s easier to get the family and third world villages in .The head of the state church will stay silent because the future of the royal family is more important than anything
As for’ manning the gates ‘ how reassuring it is to come back to Blighty and see a load of thirdworlders checking the passports … always makes me reassured …
“This man is a Christian. A convert from Islam.”
Oh really? You know this as a fact how exactly?? Almost every single asylum seeker from Iran is claiming to have either converted or that they are Gay.
Being Gay is a bit of an issue for them as it’s easy to prove they aren’t and Iran has a moratorium on killing them, on top of that the religious requirement for their version of Sharia is that the act itself is witnessed by four righteous men, begging the question what four rightrous men were doing watching in the first place!
The Taqqiya is even stronger in Shia than it is in Sunni and denying ones religion is not an issue, providing it is not denied in the heart, and so very many Iranian asylum seekers claim to be converts when they are no such thing. They get tripped up when they are asked if they have communicated their change back to their families and if they have tried to convert them.
Being a Christian in Iran isn’t really so bad, but proseletising is, a failure to proseletise is a fail in the asylum claim.
https://en.radiofarda.com/a/christmas-celebration-shopping-in-iran/29679896.html
When you have someone like ex president Ahmadinejad,celebrating Christmas and wishing Christians a happy Christmas in English you start to wonder whether Iran is really as bad a place as we are led to believe.
Of course the elites are bathing in the Sunni oil money and the Sunni hates the Iranian Shias so we take their side – it’s probably the wrong one !

After all – if a referendum can’t deliver then why bother ?

If the referendum does happen the MPs won’t have much to do in parliament anyway. All the decisions will be made for them by their EU masters.
Oh, they will get a vote on the BBC licence increase.
If anyone comes up with that stupid Taqiyya lie that Christianity is violent because the Old Testament has violent passages and calls for vengeance against one’s enemies, they should be reminded that Christ came to ‘update’ the OT and preach forgiveness in innumerable passages:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
Love for Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[b] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A38-48&version=NIV
https://www.compassionuk.org/blogs/bible-verses-on-forgiveness/
“Jesus gives us the perfect example of forgiveness. While in agony on the cross, Jesus called out, exclaiming “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34).
Wondering how many times the Bible calls us to forgive? Jesus asks us to model our forgiveness of others on the way God has forgiven us, forgiving “not by seven times, but seventy seven.”
Luke 5: 20 “When Jesus saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven.’”
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Matthew 18: 21-22 “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'”
Matthew 6: 14-15 “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
Etc…
So the Muslims have taken over the immigration system
That’s not all. I travel from the UK to France often. I am aware of the heightened security risk and measures required to combat it.
Today, in a UK port I was halted by a security official and required to submit my car for a search for weapons etc.
Something we put up given the state of terrorism. The officer directing me had the style of the official, not clearly indicating what she wanted, making me confused.
I did what I was told hoping that because she was wearing a hijab she will focus on the broad terrorist threat, not merely elderly white men.
Fortunately I was not carrying anything offensive, such as a Christian Bible, a packet of pork chops or an autographed copy of one of Tommy Robinson’s books.
Please don’t tell me that the hijab is a garment used to oppress moslem women; they wear it as the uniform of the victorious.

I predict that later on tonight early the morrow there will be a bunch of resignations by the Brexit MPs who go to Mays weekend retreat as – she has only called those MPs to see her. No doubt keen to see what their reaction will be when she breaks the bad news to them about her giving the remain voters their demands.
And being so far out in the country their screams of “madness” “traitor to your people” “you was always a remainer” “having lunch with Blair tomorrow?” “the BBC will simply ask you forgive them for everything bad (incorrect) that they wrote about you” will never be heard by anyone..
Now, if she could only get on to Lord Tone and Rob Burley about coverage.
I have never heard from a remain campaigner their reasons for wanting to stay in the EU. All I have ever heard is whining about us leaving, and a whole slew os doom and gloom predictions, all of which have failed to materialise.
If there is anyone out there who converses with these people, please would you ask them what it is they find so attractive about the EU, or if they are just a bunch of melodramatic doom mongers for whom change is the biggest fear.

BBC Online News: European Section. Not for UK
“”German police arrest 10 people on suspicion of planning Islamist attack””
23 March 2019
“”The arrests were made after some 200 police officers carried out raids in the states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.””
“”The men had plotted to “kill as many ‘non-believers’ as possible” using a vehicle and guns, prosecutors said.””
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47677657
This news is buried away on the European section and not on the BBC’s Home Page. Why?
But, ten days after the terrorist attack in NZ, their PM is still weeping on the BBC home page. Obviously more important to the BBC than planned mass murder by Islamics in Europe.
Sentry -‘compact-online’ reports that there were even great efforts to keep the plot out of the German media.
11 were arrested in all, in the Federal state of Hessen. Moroccans and ‘Germans’.
Arrests were made in Mainz, Offenbach, Wiesbaden and Frankfurt, all cities I personally know rather well.
Contact to arms dealers and the search for a ‘large vehicle’ caused the plot to fail.
If you want to know about what goes on in Germany re jihad, ‘compact’ will reveal all. But if you think Merkel is great, avoid this source, as it will upset you. They can get a little carried away over the betrayals of their Dear Leader.
Regrettably (as far as I know) you need some German.
Friendly disposition towards Brexit and real conservatives in the UK, hard Brexit is preferable, and they would love a Dexit.
‘Compact’ has had guest speakers from the UK at its conferences before. I leave it to your imagination as to who they were, but I have made mention in the past…
Ooh not the bbc but I can see it all kicking off over Coronation Street. After they killed off the lesbian (ex) Muslim who brought such “shame” on her family, the hypocrite mother wants her to have an Islamic funeral, but the brother is saying there is no way that is going to happen. He has just accused the mother of still trying to force her beliefs onto her dead daughter who would have now been ‘married’ to another woman had she not been crushed under “Underworld” (the only clothing manufacturers left in Manchester no doubt).
Oh and let’s not have any jokes about crabs or Ikea. EDIT: …or lobsters!

‘Mongolia a Toxic Warning to the World’
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/science-environment-47673327/mongolia-a-toxic-warning-to-the-world
The capital of Mongolia (Ulan Bator, but the BBC don’t bother to name it), has a serious problem with air pollution, and the BBC put it down to climate change… because the Mongolian Plateau is now ‘2.2 oC warmer’ than it used to be… apparently.
Ulan Bator has dreadful air quality, yes, because it has dense smog in the long (cold… very, very cold), winter, because people living in the city burn cheap Chinese coal to keep warm, because (did I mention) it gets really cold there, brass monkeys cold (like -50oC sometimes, that kind of as cold as Antarctica kind of cold). Of course in the countryside they’d have the livestock inside to keep warm and burn all that dried animal poop, but can’t do that in the city, where there are no animals, so they have to burn coal instead.
As the population of the city has boomed, with all the people who were previously living an incredibly harsh hand to mouth existence out on the steppe with their herds, moving to the city so they can have mod-cons… like electricity and running cold water, the pollution from all those coal fires has just got worse and worse.
So what the feck has any of that got to do with global warming? I mean UIan Bator is THE coldest capital city on the planet… and (did I mention) it gets bloody cold there for 8 months of the year?
But, our intrepid BBC reporter is there to explain how global warming is behind it all, so she goes out to speak to some of the few remaining herders in their (bloody cold) yurt. This year, they say, is very bad, lots of animals are going to die, because there has been very little snow and the grass won’t have enough meltwater to make it grow.
That’s awful, but wait, last year was even worse, lots of their livestock died, why? Because there was too much snow, and it was the coldest winter they could remember…the result of the same ‘climate change’ which has caused a lack of snow this year and all that awful pollution in the city, because ‘global warming’ apparently, at which point I had to give up.
Anyone fancy a slice of Theresa?
