“Have this one on me”.
Every time I hear someone say that I think of the scene in the old bBC comedy, “Dear John”, when there is a woman at a party with a severe flatulence problem. As the men in the group take turns at saving her embarrassment, the not-so-gallant Kirk St Moritz steps in to conspicuously accept ownership of one of her uncontrollable and very loud farts.
Across a crowded room,
” That’s alright Mrs Boyd-Peters, you have that one on me”.

Rich, that’s really funny.
But today it would be considered fartist, or something.
Such comedy could never be aired in this stifling atmosphere.
By the way, to counter embarrassment when someone commits the offence, make a joke of it:
Speak, O toothless one.

The voting for the EU elections soon, never really bothered with voting for that because of the corruption and unelected comission.
However this time, may as well vote.
The BBC will be crying when they have to read the results of the lefties across Europe getting trashed.
Labour and the conservatives, who are not even conservative anymore and are all traitors by not respecting the brexit result, when they loose loads of seats maybe then we will get parliament to wake up and do what we voted for.
Not only that but President trump is visiting the same time and the by-election so lots of stuff going on. lets see how upset the BBC gets and if it will report impartiality. We need a big shake up of politics and these EU elections are the start of it

I hadn’t looked for some time (and he doesn’t update often nowadays, unfortunately) but this morning I opened Dominic Cummings’ blog, and it was a revelation although I’d read it before and forgotten it.
“(It was a training exercise that turned out surprisingly well.) SW1 ~100% ignored it, thankfully. The intricacies of the Regional Assembly were not central to how the campaign developed, just as the EU will not be central to a second referendum — it will be about YOU AND YOUR PARTIES, dear MPs, and if you think 2016 was bad, you will find the next one somewhere between intolerable and career-ending.”

The proposed definition calls Islamophobia a ‘type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness’.
Mr Hewitt, chairman of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, said an official wording could weaken terror laws and prevent stop-and-search at ports, The Times reported.
The term was ‘perhaps misleading in the context of hate crime… hate crime seeks to protect Muslims and not Islam,’ he warned the Prime Minister.

I think they need to define muslimness or perceived (by whom?) muslimness..they seem to be conflating race with religion as neither muslim nor islam is a race as far as I can see
When can we expect christianaphobia…or Britishaphobia. which would be a type of racism that target expressions of Britishness…for example saying Sharia law should be implemented or that our soldiers should be killed if they fight in Muslim countries
Don.t hold your breath..but expect the BBC to go on about Islamaphobia – because that’s a real issue in the UK isn’t it

Ramadan Day 10

Not bad – 25 per day on an empty stomach.
Also Pastor among 6 Killed During Attack on Church. So far, no massive outpouring of anger and apologies by Muslims .
Muslims believe in “Inshallah” – everything is the will of allah. Thus a successful Jihadi attack, where hundreds of Infidels are killed, must be due to the will of allah – Inshaallah. So it cannot be condemned by definition.
Muslims will apologise briefly with weasel words, only if the pressure becomes so intense that not apologising causes more harm to Islam.

The justification for the further prosecution of Tommy Robinson in another British state political show trial seems to go like this .
The defendants in the case , being filmed on the way into court for their trial , could become distressed and thus be unable to follow proceedings or give directions to the legal counsel .
Now if the full judgement becomes publicly available I ll read it . But if the above sentence it true then no one should be filmed going into court . And perhaps further no one should be named in case it stresses them .
No doubt the hideous Batman clothes horse loony woman will rely on this finding to stop her fraud trial
( £62 million ?) as its all a bit upsetting . I bet the bbc have got a big chair waiting for her in the wimmins hour studio to do a full victim show …

Yesterdays headline re “British” Steel financial problems…
British Steel seeks government loan for ‘Brexit issues’
So lets take a look at this and a bit of history, a quick google pulled up some interesting stuff, of course this is right off Google so I have no way of verifying it.
The owner of “British” Steel is Greybull Capital, run by some international financial chaps with fairly non “British” names.
A bit of history….
They bought the Company for a pound from Tata Steel…..
Things they have bought then dissolved soon afterwards.
Comet 2011 – 2014
Rileys Bars 2012 – 2014
Monarch 2014 – 2017
M Stores (Morrisons) 2015 – 2016
Previously on British Steel…
From This is money December 2017, originally from the Daily Mail I understand.
“The former owners of failed Monarch Airlines are set to extract millions from British Steel after loading it with debt, accounts reveal.
Brothers Marc and Nathaniel Meyohas and business partners Richard Perlhagen and Daniel Goldstein are charging interest of 9.6 per cent on a £154million loan.
Their private equity firm Greybull Capital snapped up British Steel, which employs 4,400 people in the UK, largely in Scunthorpe, for a nominal £1 to stop it going under in 2016.
Employees took a pay cut to try to turn around the firm.”
I think the Beeb may have been a bit light with this story but at least they managed to find the Brexit connection so that’s all right then.

I’m guessing not many of you saw News Night yesterday evening. I wish I hadn’t.
Emily Faketan interrogated a UKIP spokesman. It really was toe curling. He was a bluff northerner who might have gone down well telling gags at The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club back in the seventies, but was far too inarticulate to be put on national television.
Of course she brought up the “Sargon” argument with Jess Philips. Everybody has heard it and through one rash remark this pillock has managed to make the perennially irritating and gobby Philips into a martyred victim.
This is going to haunt UKIP. Gerard Batten might think he’s trawling a few of Sargon’s twitter devotees, but they’re losing far more of middle England in the process.
The only weaponry this oaf had in his armoury were some barbed comments about Nigel Farage. This was sweet music to Emily’s ears and she allowed him to bluster on.
By a strange irony I’ll be in Belgium on the day of the vote, showing family members around the killing fields of Flanders. “They gave their todays…so that we could be betrayed by a bunch of gutless and corrupt politicians”.
Don’t fret, I’ve sorted out my postal vote.
I’m really hoping The Brexit Party absolutely smash it in the Euro elections.
As for UKIP…

Dear Mr Fedup2
I am a senior BBC controller and I am responding to your comment on the viewing figures for our acclaimed, flagship programme, Newsnight, along with the unsubstantiated claim that ‘viewing figures must be low to be unmeasurable these days.’ This is far from the case: BBC research has indicated that all of the staff involved in the production of the programme watch it, along with the guests. Well, not all of the production staff, but some of them. And the guests don’t usually bother. But aside from that, viewing figures are as expected. And anyway, as we have more than £4 billion to play with that we don’t have to justify or account for, who gives a toss?
Yours sincerely

I see May is proposing to take her deal back to Parliament unchanged for a fourth outing.
I cannot see how the corrupt speaker of the house could allow this after he barred the third attempt , however seeing as May has said she will resign if the thing passes I can see those alumni of the rotten school taking the most expedient route to get the old school tie into number ten.
If there is one thing this debacle has shown us, is just how rotten to the core Parliament is, and how unfit for purpose the Tory party has become, largely as a result of the members of the rotten school they’ve allowed in.
More interested now in fighting each other than the opposition, it’s been this way since they stabbed Margaret Thatcher in the back. They cannot become a party of government because they have no cohesion. remember BLiars pagers and the phrase ‘on message’, the Tories are the opposite of that, and it isn’t just because of Theresa May.
I expect to see the horrible expedient, Rees Mogg and a few fellows vote for Mays deal because it will allow Boris into number 10 a few weeks earlier, regardless of the reality that even May would find a fourth rejection difficult to sustain.

I do find myself with a tiny bit of sympathy for the Conservative party. We voted, in one visit to the poll booth, both a remainer and a minority government. The EU took full advantage and broke the DUP alliance through their ‘backstop’.

With – the background the ReichEU and a host of traitors with British passports intent on causing as much punishment as possible .
I wonder if brexit will be a bit of a side issue in comparison with the kind of growth of anti EU parties in other countries . We ll see .
What those in the future might well not understand is how disastrous local election results – followed up by disastrous EU elections had no effect on a governing party so out of touch that it turned into a joke … and members were ridiculing each other and their leadership .

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/13/tommy-robinson-sexual-abuse-victims-european-elections
Guardian Opinion
Rape and sexual assault
Mon 13 May 2019 10.00 BST Last modified on Tue 14 May 2019 10.53 BST
“Sexual abuse charities need money – but not from Tommy Robinson
Sarah Green”
“Sarah Green is co-director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition”
[My searches failed to discover anything about Green.]
“The anti-Islam activist is feigning concern for women to stoke hatred – we won’t let him”
[No evidence for this “feigning” from Green, just lying.]
“On Friday 43 women’s organisations published an open letter voicing our disgust at Tommy Robinson’s pledge to donate his MEP salary to victims of sexual abuse if he is elected in the north-west of England”
[Hundreds of MPs fiddle their expenses. Hundreds of MPs indulge in an epidemic of Brexit deceit, mendacity, betrayal and treason (praised by the Guardian).
One man, who has put his life on the line for the rape vicims, now offers to give up his salary (when others are still feathering their nests whilst simultaneously pushing their snouts further into the trough) if elected, and the lefty women sexists don’t like it.]
“We thought long and hard about potentially giving Robinson – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – further publicity”
[No marks for creativity here Green, you and your sexist mates do not seem very good at this thinking.]
“But we can no longer stay silent as he makes lies about the sexual abuse of girls”
[Untrue, and desparate, Green. Robinson tells the truth about the mass gang rapes, his remarks have greater resonance because the Greens in the Guardian tried to conceal the events, because that really helps the victims.]
“The far right has a long history of seeking to incite racial hatred by whipping up fear about who has access to and control over women’s bodies”
[Like Nick Griffin, a patriot who raised concerns about the gang rapes years before Tommy. The left tried to have Griffin jailed. It is not racial hatred, just more lies Green. Whipping up fear, no whipping required, you have not read the police reports. Parents threatened with jail. Little girls soaked in petrol.]
“The idea of far-right men presenting themselves as defenders of women’s rights is absurd …”
[Long paragraph containing a number of assertions for which no evidence is offered. More extreme left wing opinions well suited to an opinion column. The absurdity is in your mind Green, as demonstrated by this article]
No comments allowed. Although I noted this about the equally sexist, anti male, Mayer article yesterday and the Guardian opened comments afterwards.

LastChanceSaloon,
Yes, this is a truly disgusting article – trying to portray Tommy Robinson as hypocritical and racist because he chooses to defend white children from Muslim rapists. I’ve never heard Tommy say he is not concerned about the Sikh children raped by these Muslims.
This statement revealed a lot about the attitude of the deluded feminist left:
Meanwhile, as they persist with their racism-inciting rhetoric on rape, survivors’ groups and women’s rights activists, many of whom have spent their lives fighting for victims of abuse, are pushed back.
So it’s her turf and Tommy Robinson is not only intruding on it but somehow preventing others from joining her group? What a bubble this woman lives in. She should be welcoming anyone who fights rapists of children and defends those children.
Weird how the article is published under ‘Comment is Free’ and yet it’s closed to comments. I guess the ‘Editors’ just wanted to let her rant without the terrible experience of having her views challenged by some comments – as I’m sure they would have been.
The Guardian is a disgusting lefty rag but it used to have a reasonably open policy re comments. Not any more, apparently.
And they have the cheek to continually beg for money from readers.

“We are doing a story about Farage or Tommy, can we get a pic of them that looks even more snarling ?”
.. “We are doing about how mad climate fanatics at BAFTA want Climate Change inserted into every story
what picture shall we use ?
… ORWELL
… no we will use a nice picture of fruit and vegetables”

Oh dear, trouble in paradise!
As parents to darling (?) teenage sprogs we’re subjected to the usual highs and lows of parenthood, including some rather interesting emails from their school. Like this one for example:
“Dear Parents
Climate Change Protest
We have been made aware that some students are planning to join the next climate change protest, which takes place next week. As a school, we always wish to both encourage, and demonstrate, responsible behaviour with regard to our obligations towards the environment and the conservation of our natural resources, and are pleased that our young people are both conversant and passionate about this subject. We cannot, however, condone absence from lessons during term-time which would be detrimental to learning. I cannot stress enough the importance of full school attendance for all students. There is a direct relationship between excellent attendance and successful outcomes and even one day of absence will be a lost opportunity to learn.
Regretfully, any absence from school to attend the protest will be unauthorised. Students are very welcome to come and speak to me, or their Head of House, to discuss their ideas on how the school community may improve our efforts to adopt more sustainable practices.
Best regards
(blanked out)
Headteacher”
One of the young Geography teachers at the school has apparently been going a little overboard on the new ‘Climate Change’ section of the curriculum, and she has been showing the kids videos from the BBC (the head needs to have a quiet word).
My son came up with this great idea “Hey Dad, if my mates are all having a day off school for the climate change demo, can I stay at home instead (and, he didn’t need to add, play on the X-Box)”.
Full marks for effort son, you’ll go far.

We are hopefully about to witness the most extraordinary political tsumani of our lifetimes with the rise and rise of the Brexit Party and it’s leader Nigel Farage but the BBC decide that it’s lead article on it news site should be:-
“The Jeremy Kyle show axed by ITV”

Fine, you sneer at the Jeremy Kyle show.
But have some concern for the Remainers, they now have two choices :-
#1 Watch other TV programmes, which will contain material above their intellectual pay grade.
#2 Watch old Kyle shows again, and again.
Beauty.

Don’t knock the Jeremy Kyle. Because of the absence of anything worthwhile to watch on the BBC – JK had been my viewing of last resort. And when poorly with flu etc, I could watch JK from morning to night without having to use catchup and use up data – besides which there is nothing on the BBC I want to watch even using iplayer. Although I have to admit that wall-to-wall Jeremy was an indication of how poorly I was.
I should also admit that both my mother and mother-in-law when old ladies used to like to watch it. Mr D was in favour of disowning both of them.

James O’Brian on LBC stating that being anti abortion is far Right, Fascist, Nazi, Misogynist.
Then goes on to say, as an adopted child, had abortion been available when he was born, he would not be here today, on the radio arguing that to be anti abortion is unspeakable.
He lumps it with, of course, with all the phobias and being pro fox hunting as being Far Right ?
“…. a group of cells you decide to call an unborn child.” Fascinating, I nearly dropped my, Far Right, cork leg.

A long time ago there was a quiz show called Take Your Pick. It had a session where contestants had to answer questions without saying yes, no, or nodding their heads. If we had a current day one having to go an entire programme without saying Far Right, Fascist, Nazi, or Misogynist. The gong would be going so fast on O’Brian’s show you would think the fire bell was going off and everyone would leave the building. Peace and quiet for the rest of the show.

With talk in the media of, what is Islamophobia and the strapping of ‘phobia’ to everything, I get increasingly annoyed on a couple of levels, although I shouldn’t.
A phobia is an irrational fear, that’s a fear with no overarching survival basis.

… and in science ‘phobic’ can be used to describe something which is physically repelled by something else, and which won’t react/bond/mix with it. Think oil and water, for example.
Actually, I find that a more useful definition when trying to visualise some of the modern ‘phobias’ we apparently all suffer from.

Much as I love things American, I do wish our media would stop talking as if we were American and Trump was our President – we’re not and he’s not.
America is another country not our country and other countries do other things but our media never give the other foreign countries the same prominence when it comes to reporting.

I always thought that was a downside of speaking a version of the same language . America is a foreign country whose interests will have primacy – for America .
The ‘special relationship ‘ is a kind of comfort blanket as our empire transferred to them.
But judging by what has happened to Blighty I sometimes wish I had an American passport …..
I’d be a card carrying President Trump supporter – someone with a manifesto which meant something and delivered on his promises …. I’d be tougher on foreign news agencies though ( but then the constitution would stop me – wouldn’t it ?)
Before I grew up and went to America to work and visit I used to look down on Americans a bit . Especially that thing about how many don’t have passports . But when you really realise the size of the place -no wonder so many don’t leave it . I envy Americans now .

It’s only in recent years that I’ve more fully appreciated that, much in the same way London is not England, New York and LA are most definitely not to be taken as truly representative of the USA. I never really thought of rural, small-town America, aware of its history and connections to my own Ulster Scots heritage certainly, but more often reminded of the Irish Catholic communities of the cities than any other.
I never had any real interest in visiting there but now, even more so since the election of Trump, find myself wanting to travel to Maine, Virginia, the Carolinas, the Rust Belt, through the Southern States or Mid- America, and to engage with historically connected and similar people who seem to value family, community, even church, and who believe that their culture and society should be shared and celebrated. I would certainly encourage my children to consider a life there, it seems so much less claustrophobic and choking than our society is on its way to becoming.
Why are the travel industry in America not targeting British holidaymakers more now, when so many of our traditional tourist destinations seem to accept our money only grudgingly, are becoming less and less welcoming and safe, and when the EU seem determined to make visiting them as difficult as possible?

The difference between American diversity and the UK version is that there is a semblance of unity in the American version – the flag and the constitution .
The UK one has nothing – they look to royalty to be a focal point but their only interest is self preservation( see Diana ) – otherwise there is no single focus – so when an alien ‘culture ‘ Islam – arrives its peasants can exploit the dominant guilt complex of the snowflakes who think they are in charge of the place – by claiming to be ‘victims ‘ all the time ( see varsi )

‘Did Islam Have Anything to Do With It?’
I visited 13 sites of Islamic terrorist attacks and asked witnesses that one question.
“Do you think his [or their] religion had anything to do with the attack?”
With the exception of the New York firemen, London taxi drivers (who don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of their opinions), and the Nigerian Christians, the answers were always the same as Lily’s. Islam, they have been told again and again, is a religion of peace, and they were simply unwilling — or unable — to acknowledge the obvious.
To put this in some perspective, were I to ask any educated person what inspired kamikazes, the suicide bombers of the previous century, to fly their planes into American ships during the Second World War, they would undoubtedly say Emperor worship and the militarism of Imperial Japan. So why the inability to make the connection between terrorism and Islam? ”

Trying to work out what the reaction to withdrawing A50 and remaining in the ReichEU is hard to guess –
At one extreme parliament would be torched and MPs taking to their country bunkers and at the other end — acollective shrug .

ITV local news just reported this “Dewsbury man” jailed because he deliberately drove his car at speed into this off duty soldier causing him horrific injuries.
Just look how this report taken from the West Yorkshire Police website contrasts with that description. Apparently there was an “incident” where a man was “knocked down”.
This is as despicable as the bbc!
“A man has been jailed for eight years following an incident outside a nightclub in Batley where a man was knocked down by a car.”

Just suppose the scotchies had won the referendum to be independent and some 3 years later, when they were still ruled by Westminster, were given the option of some slight devolvement (and paying us a huge sum) or remain in the Uk.
