Weekend Open Thread 13 April 2019

The Biased Far Left BBC is trying to relegate Brexit to the ‘3rd headline ‘ . Some might say the State has realised that there are over 17 million voters who are  angry because they can’t understand how democracy was subverted without a shot being fired .

      “that allegedly British organisation doesn’t have any real journalists left.”

      They have journalists left; but most of them must be fighting against what their own consciences are telling them.

      Tis the only way any BBC employee can mislead the British public is to tell lies and knowingly promote anti-family, anti-decency, anti-science, anti-children, anti-faithfulness, anti-Christian, anti-reality, etc etc .

    The world war between the Globalists and the people is becoming the defining issue of our times. Brexit, JJ’s in France, Salvini, Orban at al , are all battles in this war. But the decisive theatre of operations, so to speak , is in the USA. If the Globalists, a coalition of crazy Lefists Democrats and Global capitalist Never Trumpers, defeat the President, and in doing so the American people, it will probably be the decisive victory of the war.
    The battle of the Russian Collusion Hoax has been won by the President despite the MSM firing off all their potent ammunition over the past three years. The coup has failed and I’m sure that the President will insist that the conspirators will face trial and punishment in the public arena. He will also make sure that every American knows that the MSM were complicit in the coup and have lied to the people deliberately, systematically and continuously throughout the past three years. This surely ought to effectively destroy the credibility of the MSM in the USA and so remove from the battlefield the most potent weapon in the Globalist armoury. If the truth is reported fairly the Globalists will lose the war.
    We can only hope that the credibility of our own much despised BBC suffers a similar blow. Their behaviour over Brexit must have awakened millions of Brits to what we on this site have known for years, they are an anti British, leftist propaganda organ. Hopefully their anti Trump reporting will further diminish their standing in our country and in time lead to a refusal to pay for their vile propaganda.

      Doublethinker,

      I agree totally. We are witnessing a momentous clash between the globalists, supported by their allies in the left-wing MSM, and ordinary people who believe in family and the nation state with defined borders.

      And yes, the US is at the heart of this struggle because of its power and influence in the world and also because of its idealism, which globalists have twisted to support their tactics of no-borders and anything-goes philosophy.

    All my life whenever I thought about our political system I have supported FPTP. Even up until recently, despite it being unfair on the smaller parties who can never win more than the odd seat. One of my reasons was that we can get rid of our government if we don’t like them every five years, unlike say in Austria where (until recently) the same two parties have remained in permanent coalition since the war. Our way meant that the ruling party had limits as to what they could do to thwart the will of the People or they’d be out on their ears, but in Austria they would be back in power come-what-may either as senior or junior partners. These parties are the equivalent of Labour and Conservative so to have a similar PR system we would have the same problem.

    However when May finally sold us out by bringing Corbyn and the extreme alt-left Labour Party in to dictate their version of Brexit (spelt Remain) to her I realised that we have in the same problem as Austria despite FPTP.

    My conclusion is that now I fully support PR. If we can’t get rid of our permaent coalition government we need to have as many MPs from other parties to cause mayhem for this elected dictatorship. A bonus would be the virtual wipe-out of the SNP at Westminster.

        The Uk is now in a position where it would be quite easy to drum up support for proportional representation. The system has clearly broken down and is not fit for purpose. But people often get put off at the start by arguing about which system to chose. What happened in NZ was that an official commission suggested switching to the proportional AV similar system known as MMP.
        It was not the choice of many of us activists but on examining it we found it to be a system that met most of our requirements. The Electoral reform coalition made the decision that they would campaign for MMP and no other because they knew that having the commissions findings behind them was a boost. And as long as they had this the MPs would not be able to kill it off. (Though try they did!)
        We actually achieved our goal in about three or four years if I remember rightly. We did work hard at it but I think we were a bit surprised at how soon it happened really. I think the lesson to be learned is if you have been offered an advantage run with it. Having AV working in Scotland and Wales is an advantage for change in the UK. People understand it. Run with it and extend it to the national level would be my advice. Debating various systems till the cows come home only dissipates the energy of the campaign.
        Get the system switched to proportional first. Fine tune it later.
        A second piece of advice would be to ignore the STV system, at least at the National level. I found that its adherents to be very irritating pedantic the sort of people who love complicated systems and I found they often had little political nous.
        Oh yeah, and don’t let the Lib Dems run the campaign.

      Demon, one of the many problems with Proportional Representation (PR) is that not only does it put total power in the hands of the Party it is then vulnerable to the leadership of that Party. (Think 1920s Germany/1950s South Africa – then jump forward to Anna Soubry. See the connection?)

      We may start with political Parties under PR that have benign leaderships but at anytime after that there can be changes. For a bang-up-to-date example think Labour Party, Momentum and Corbyn and McDonnell.

      It took only a couple of years from around 1919/1920 in Russia for most ‘revolutionaries’, ‘anti-Monarcists’ and those vaguely inclined in those directions to realise that they had been sold a total pup. They were trapped, however, for the next seventy years.

      Two of the most chilling words to hear in the 20th century have been ‘the Party’ or ‘der Partei’.

        Up2, Under a PR system it is very easy to bring down a party going off the rails. Start a new party. Under the FPTP system ‘der Partei’ is entrenched and leads to the situation which we see now. Two corrupt faction ridden morally bankrupt relics joining together to thwart the will of the people and increasingly cracking down on dissent.
        This is all happening under the present system. It’s time for a long overdue change. Der Partei? You’ve got plenty enough of Der Partei, mate, its time to give a real choice to ‘der peiple’ for heavens sake.

          Yasser, it seems easy to start a new political Party but it is not. I switched off AQs when Gerard Batten was being tritely slurred by another Panellist and the stacked audience roared its approval. But Batten is the architect of his own problems.

          Then, earlier, he attacked the weaknesses in the new Brexit Party and they do exist.

          I haven’t yet mentioned the need to check for Fifth Columnists or saboteurs or infiltrator traitors.

          Add in the problem of finance. Add rules and regulations. Add in the natural weaknesses of true democracy at the local and Party level.

          No easy task.

          Then after the Election? Horse trading to form a coalition government.

            “Think Belgium, mate, think Belgium! Do you really want that?”

            Yes – and Italy, that is why I have been steadfastly opposed to PR until now. I’m convinced we wouldn’t have been given a referendum in 2016 if we’d had PR then. But now, after seeing May smooching Corbyn and showing that they are all working together for the Common Bad I feel the only way to get any kind of People’s representatives would be PR. I looked at it years ago and couldn’t see a system that didn’t have major flaws which is why I preferred not changing. Another reason I wanted to stick with FPTP was that the MPs are linked with constituencies and under some forms of PR that link is lost. However, May on her knees praying for Corbyn is not a pretty sight and her kowtowing to him is totally undemocratic.

            My suggestion would be that over a period of, say, 10 years we abolish the Lords as it stands and replace it with representatives chosen proportionally from the national votes cast at a General Election. Once we decide which is the best system we then start electing the Commons in the same way. That would mean the Upper House has no further function and could be abolished. Or better still the Upper House could be formed by PR across the whole UK and the Commons could become the English Parliament with the same powers as the Scottish one. The Upper House would decree on all UK wide policies, while the lower house just the ones pertaining to England.

            Up 2 . I wouldn’t wish Belgium on the Belgians.
            I would have thought I had made the point often enough. The design of the PR system is all important. There needs to be a cut-off point of four or five percent. Parties receiving less than that level of the vote don’t get a seat in the assembly. The failings of some of the pr voting systems in Europe, and in this we can include The Netherlands, is that the threshold is too low. This allows nutter groups in.
            A five percent cut off point is quite reasonable and allows people a choice from about five to seven parties.
            Mark Steyn agrees with me on this.

              Yasser, I respect your and Demon’s and cb’s views. I’m just very nervous around PR.

              Yes you can design a PR system, perhaps over-design even, but then the complaint comes that “people do not understand what or who they are voting for”. Then you get the Ken Clarke 21st century approach where he says “Manifestos – ha! Who bothers to read them let alone stick to what they contain?”. (He was very happy for Ted Heath to take the UK into the EEC (EU) on the strength of a vague-ish, down in the lesser items, back end of the, manifesto commitment.

              Both FPTP and PR suffer when communities do not have a representative. Under PR they are always parachuted in or some might say imposed on their constituents. In FPTP, there is a tendency of Conservatives and Labour, as you know, to try out new candidates in seats (constituencies) where they have little or no hope of winning before, after some time serving, they are then parachuted into a safer seat.

              How many people can name their MEP? When surveys have been done it is very few. I could once upon a time but have now lost track and OK, I admit, I’m a bit politically geeky. EU Elections, IIRC, are run on PR system.

      The SNP are idiots in the emperors new clothes, and most Scots understand this. But when they lost their ‘majority’ in this stupid assembly, its the bisexual lunatic watermelon Harvie with all his list green msp’s that now drive Scottish politics.
      These people are insane.
      It’s Marxism on steroids.
      A ‘first minister’ presides over a ghetto slum constituency that she packs out with roma gypsies and welfare junkies, and they applaud the progressive nature of Scottish politics.
      It is horrific, but I don’t know if the next generation of Scots will care.

    There is a difference between the majority of the 48% who originally voted remain and the relatively very few of those who are determined to overturn the democratic result for purely selfish reasons (money and/or power). This is what drives the movers and shakers in parliament who, along with powerful allies, have spent the last three years manipulating their many substandard colleagues, and attempting to re-propagandise the ‘peasants’ (that’s us folks). Hence the fairy tale that there must be another vote.

    Here’s another, “Factcheck” for you in relation to the established forms of Brexit
    https://fullfact.org/europe/does-public-want-no-deal/
    ‘Full Fact’, it appears to me to be yet another set-up which avidly supports Remain even if its narrative is ‘BBC like’ in its devious way of persuading the public.
    FullFact’s conclusion in its final citation of, ‘statistics’ is that:
    “With that question, remaining was the favourite, preferred by 37% of the public, followed by no deal on 26%.”
    Curiously, FF gives a link to Professor John Curtice’s own offerings regarding the polling. You remember Curtice is for political statistics as the eccentric Patrick Moore was to Astronomy.
    In every one of three paragraphs written by Curtice, he states unequivocally, “That (leave) support comes almost entirely from those who voted Leave, as many as 47% of whom have on average identified it as their first choice.”
    He concludes: “So, it looks as though leaving without a deal is the first preference around half or so of Leave voters and is certainly more popular among them than Mrs May’s deal.”
    I certainly prefer the ‘look-alike’ Patrick Moore’s views.

      Cassandra – Conventional Wisdom has it that God is dead.
      Most of us have a little guilt, tucked way somewhere among those Billions of neurons.
      But there is nowhere to go for absolution, since He has been disposed of (even by a lot of ‘churches’). We are too wise, too scientific and definitely secular. We don’t need Him.
      So the Amritsars will keep coming, cos others have realised how to exploit our guilt. (Which may have a sound basis in reality, but are of the (often distant) past- and not to be used against people in the present). Mistakes have been made, and stupid or panicked or evil people in history have done stupid or panicked or evil things.
      But that was then. If the guilty-feeling Nick Robinsons want to ritually dispose of a little guilt on the BBC, let them go and do it in private, instead of virtue-signalling and trying to foist it onto everyone else!
      Here is a bonus: You want to stop the spread/migration of Political Islam in its tracks?
      Get back to your own God. Contrary to Nitezsche and Dawkins, He is still around.
      If an apparent ‘clash’ with science bothers you, start by having a look at a programme by astrophysicist, Hugh Ross: ‘Cosmic reasons to believe in Christ’ (which is actually a part 3 of three).
      Islam would quickly shut up in the face of the Truth, but we don’t present it any more. There is this myth, propagated by clever people that ‘religions cause wars’. Not True. Not necessary.
      The Big White Guilt trip would stop abruptly. But right now there is the most wonderful vacuum for Islam to move into. The Gates of Vienna have been taken down.
      PS The Schulz/Snoopy cartoons are actually a wonderful defence of Christianity, if you get to study them.

      Dead ringer that Herr Soros has financed each and every one of these drop-outs:

      Step forward financier George Soros. The billionaire funds ‘Occupy Wall Street’ through an intermediary known as the Tides Foundation in San Francisco. Look for any anti-Christian NGO worldwide, and you can be sure the Tides Foundation is funding it.

      Gay rights in Uganda, abortion rights in Tanzania, you name it. Tides, and others like them, are putting up the money.

      Reuters News Agency says this:

      ‘According to disclosure documents from 2007-2009, Soros’ Open Society gave grants of $3.5 million to the Tides Center, a San Francisco-based group that acts almost like a clearing house for other donors, directing their contributions to liberal non-profit groups. Among others the Tides Center has partnered with are the Ford Foundation and the Gates Foundation.’

    The BBC want you to know about “the US students who want to pay slavery descendants reperations”… in an article filled with self flagellation, about how the entire wealth of America was built in slavery:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47886292

    But of course the BBC never asks the question why the African countries who profited from selling the slaves in the first place are not as rich as America. And of course in true BBC style, they never put this in any context. They never mention that for the entire of history there was slavery, in every territory and country since before the time of Moses.

    Then the BBC have complete amnesia about how the British empire was the first empire in history to ban slavery in 1830, led by William Wilberforce. And the fact that the British were pivitol in ending slavery worldwide, which was common place at the time… instead they reference us to an article that tells Britich people they should pay reparations as instead:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/education-45979234

    Well i have a fantastic idea, both Alexander Fleming who invented antibiotics, and Edward Jenner who invented vaccines, were British. Before these medicines wed invented 50% of children would die before the age of 5. Because of the invention of these life saving medicines and the British inventions created in the industrial revolution, the world population has increased from 700 million to 7 billion… this means that 90% of people today are alive thanks thanks to the British, and they owe us this as a debt.

    So i suggest that the 90% of people who are alive today thanks to British inventions like Antibiotics, Vaccines, electricity, fertilizer… should pay the UK royalties forever.

    When we get paid that money, then we can use a few percent to pay for slavery reparations… after these slave descendants pay us for ending slavery of course.

    While Rap & Grime music is generally not ‘my thing’ I have heard of Kanye West, Stormzy, Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Goldie and a few more. I even quite enjoyed occasional bits of their repertoire.

    Can anyone explain the BBC’s complete obsession with Nipsey Hussle who, until sadly he was violently murdered, appeared to be something of a no mark American musician? We have had two weeks of endless coverage on the BBC web-site.

    Is it yet another example of the BBC’s obsession with all things American? Or do they think that by lauding and continually referring to Nipsey Hussle that they are showing themselves to be ‘hip’ and ‘dahn wivda kids’? In addition, by doing that, does the BBC think they will win back the youth and young adult audience that they have lost in the last twenty years and are still losing? Or all three?

    An ‘intellectual’ view from America – short read
    /
    Yet it is not just economic distress unsettling Western populations. In both Western Europe and the United States, virtually unrestricted illegal immigration threatens local cultures at the same time that it burdens local government resources. The dirigiste elites have always promoted multiculturalism to encourage both mercantile and cultural international ties. Multicultural ideals have led European leaders to encourage immigration, particularly from their one-time colonies. Also, mass immigration to Europe from the Middle East and North Africa, and to the U.S. from Central and South America, provides Europe and the U.S. a ready supply of cheap labor. Crony capitalism has reinforced the idealism of dirigiste elites.

    They are of course exchavating to find the bodies for evidence, and so they can be given a proper buriel. Of course we saw this kind of excaavation many times before, to find the victims of terrible people like Harald Shipmann or Ian Brady… in many wars we see bodies exhumed and repatriated to give the famlies some kind of closure.

    So why is there one case of mass murder where the bodies can never be exhumed… to even suggest that evidence is gathered is sacraledge… to question the details can get you thrown in jail in some countries… if the truth is out there, what is wrong with gathering the evidence?.

        If there was any propaganda about the holocaust, why would Jewish people have anything to do with it?

        It seems you have been conditioned by the media into that response, you made a whole series of assumptions about my comment… then resorted to knee-jerk name calling without addressing my basic question.

        Why are forensic investigations performed in all almost all mass murder cases except that one? I am just wondering… it seems odd.

        Looking at the state of the BBC Isn’t it possible, even likely, that in the aftermath of WW2 the media from the Allies side were using hysteria, hype and exaggeration to browbeat the Germans into submission using propaganda?.

        They are using lies today about Brexit, they were using lies about the Iraq war 20 years ago, they were using lies in the Lebanon war 40 years ago, but 60 years ago after WW2 the BBC and their ilk were little angels?

        If the BBC were lying, would they want to get found out?

        There is no doubt the Germans were persecuting Jewish people, and forcing then do do slave labour and they were put in terrible conditions in slave-labour camps, i have seen convincing evidence of that.

        But the there is something fishy going on when no one is allowed to research and revisit a subject even after 70 years… i don’t trust that the media report honestly now, and i don’t trust that they reported honestly then.

        Whats more is that Germans have been browbeat with this for 70 years… leading to some kind of pathological aulturism that will destroy Germany… and and Europe. If Germans are to be forever browbeat over that stuff I want to see solid evidence… after watching a bunch of videos, and researching this a host of things don’t add up.

        So maybe you can tell me maxincony, Why is the suggestion a sensible and sober evidence based investigation 70 years on, is so crazy?

        The Germans have been browbeat to the point that they are letting in boatloads of Muslims… who really are antisemitic. This is a religion which requires its followers to kill jews so that judgement day can come and so Muslims can transition from “torment in the grave” to Heaven,

        Islam is antisemitic. I don’t see questioning if the BBC helped to create propaganda following WW2 to browbeat the Germans in to submission, as antisemitic… because the BBC is not Jewish, its a publicly funded corporation that pumps out propaganda.

    Astronomers, Mensa Members and Richard Pinder, versus, Children, Naked Environmental Activists and David Attenborough.

    Ten years ago Astronomers knew that the key to whether Carbon Dioxide causes Global Warming or not, would be found if a formula worked for the Greenhouse effect on both Venus and Mars. An attempt using the assumed radiant heat absorption greenhouse effect on Mars of 3 Kelvin, transferred to Venus, failed, and the scientist concerned gave up on Venus. Then we had a German scientist who found out why, with the paper (Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics, Gerhard Gerlich, 2009).

    Then the paper (Unified Theory of Climate, Ned Nikolov & Karl Zeller, 2011) provided the formula that works for both Venus and Mars, proving that the atmospheric mass/gravity/pressure Greenhouse effect of James Clark Maxwell, found in 1888, is correct. Gravity pulling molecules downward producing the heat gradient. Therefore the climate sensitivity of CO2 is proven to be zero. As Donald Trump says “it’s a Hoax”

    An op-ed in the bbc house journal, the Grauniad, illustrates the beeboids’ complete inability to grasp what’s going on outside the meeeja / academia Bubble. It’s useful to know one’s enemies, and how they think.

    “The fury of ‘white people’ with Jon Snow shows a total lack of self-awareness on race”

    They really don’t get it, do they?

    According to the writer, the anger expressed is not because whites (and Brexiteers) are fed up with being sneered at by the likes of Snow, and implicitly labelled as racists – no, it’s because “white people are not used to being marked out by race. Despite habitually racialising others, we generally don’t take well to being racialised ourselves” and more such sociology-speak drivel. The author apparently studied at Oxford and Cambridge universities amongst others, proving that you can be highly educated and understand nothing. In fact it’s becoming axiomatic that a ‘humanities’ education guarantees clever sounding stupidity.

            A purely personal view: a church is a gathering of Christian believers, no more; bishops and elders (biblical titles according someone a SPIRITUAL ‘rank’ in such a gathering) etc have no particular status in which worldly power plays a role. It is also not a particular building or place. (The idea of ‘going to church’ confuses us).
            In fact, all those fancy hierarchies with fancy robes and funny hats, are purely man-made. Things started going wrong at the Council of Nicea, and -for us- Henry VIII gave them a little nudge. There is a church natural and there is a church spiritual. Big difference.
            I speak of a system, I do not judge any particular individual. The bishops in the Upper House do not impress me (in any spiritual sense). Come to think of it, neither does anyone else there.

    Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science.
    The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
    These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
    Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
    A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
    Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
    It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
    In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
    This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
    This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
    When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

    This is one of the saddest reports I have heard in a long time. It’s about 12 minutes long and the subject is the suicide, yes suicide, of a nine year old white boy.

    When his mother went to the school to complain about the bullying that caused this boy to take his own life, the teacher told her ” you didn’t have to come to this school”.

    That’s the depths of depravity in the educational system caused by the marxist swamp that infests our schools:

          Imagine if you’d spent 30 seconds on Google; rather than believing the deformed witterings of a racist moron.

              Has there been an explosion at the local idiot factory? It was published five years ago.

                  I’m very sorry, but you could have just have clicked on the link and found out for yourself. Perhaps you should try that sometimes.

      ohn in cheshire,

      This is one of the saddest reports I have heard in a long time.

      The “report” is from Mark Collett; a self proclaimed Neo-Nazi, antisemitic, white-supremicist (right up your street, John). Here he is with his delightful girlfriend:

      _89807406_5e1f6985-bfb9-4115-b2ca-b7628cb7cc53.jpg

      The inquest (in 2014) found no evidence that he was being bullied, or that he intended to kill himself.

      A nine-year-old boy was found hanged after he was sent to his room following an argument with his younger brother

        Why do you support an organization that robs from the poor to give to the very rich?

          I’ve seen some of Collett. I tend to agree with maximoany on this instance. It doesn’t happen often.

          Although I do disagree with ze about this boy. No child would kill themself just because of being told off by his parents. It would have to be something sustained and the parent had already contacted the school about the problem.

            Demon,

            No child would kill themself just because of being told off by his parents. It would have to be something sustained…

            The inquest verdict was accidental death; that he didn’t intend to kill himself. The Daily Mail was just trying to wring every last penny out of it.

              I have an opinion that you have a few personnel helping you with your posts. Ie that you are a ‘sockpuppet’ ? What motivates you ?
              How much did Al Beeb try to ‘wring’ out of Cliff Richard ?

        Who voted for Campbell ?
        Why does he have so much say in the media? What’s all this about the “Dodgy Dossier”?
        maxincony , can you help us on this one ?

    A revealing little vignette on R4’s Any Questions, to which I still subject myself on a Saturday (I know, I know).

    Nicky Morgan had persistently (whether deliberately or otherwise) mispronounced Gerard Batten’s Christian name, repeatedly referring to him as “Gerald” Batten. When Mr Batten finally corrected her, Mrs Morgan, instead of the courteous apology that one would expect from a Conservative lady, merely uttered the ubiquitous and annoying determiner “whatever”, in the manner and tone of an adolescent who has been gently chided about some minor misdemeanour but cannot bring itself to tear its attention away from a mobile telephone screen.

    It being a radio programme I could not, of course, see, but it would not have surprised me had Mrs Morgan accompanied this dismissive rejoinder with a contemptuous toss of her lustrous mane.

    It appears that not only is there very little about Mrs Morgan that is Conservative, there is very little about her that is lady-like.

      Skeldings – being interested in ‘Any Answers’ (I know, I know) I only caught the last few minutes of this programme. Dumbleby couldn’t resist the temptation to have a little virtue-signalling dig at Gerard about the area in which he lived/ would like to live.
      It was oh so predictable, and it contained that little sneer…

    Its gone from “Project Fear” to “Project Ridiculous”. Even the ‘snowflakes’ are not impressed.
    Nice try Al Beeb – must do better.

    Can you imagine the headlines “Great Britain Surrenders under threat of no Tulips from Amsterdam”
    Our ancestors would be ashamed of us now . Freedom is hard won but is easily given away.
