Having looked at the average turn out for EU elections the UK average is about 35% against an EU average of 42%. All indications are that the turn out will be far higher for the UK this time . But notice something – no public leader debates on the TV – and possible breaches of election law by the BBC in their coverage .
We wont find out the results of the EU Elections until Sunday the 26th May . The bigger the vote for The Brexit Party – the bigger the distraction exercise by the BBC …
Oh Yes – and if you vote – please use a pen .
So that’s her plan.
Jesus wept.
You’re not quite first. I used the Norwegian method and route. Always works for me.
May? Who’s she?
Backlinks
We are on new thread already
; if you are looking for Tuesday’s posts they started
on page 3 and 7 spilled over onto page 4.
In her quest to keep everyone happy she has declared the 6-0 win by Manchester City over Watford to be void.
What happens now is that both teams will be declared the winner and there will be no losers. Everybody gets something although not what they wanted. A compromise.
Of course, Man City don’t want it. Why should they. They won.
And Watford don’t want it. It’s humiliating for them.
But with May’s compromise they all get a bit of something.
So the PM has moved to offering a second referendum in order to get her surrender document approved by the HoC. This is now likely to be passed by the Remainer majority in the commons. Of course the vote will take place after the Euro elections which TBH will easily gain most seats. Leavers will rightly claim that after the election results the present PM or indeed the Remainer HoC has no mandate to even continue to negotiate on Brexit let alone sign off on the pathetic WA . But their claims and the anger of millions who voted Leave will get nowhere. The establishment are in effect saying f*** democracy we are doing what we want. And so democracy dies in our country and we lurch into the post democratic era. What happens now? What do those who have been robbed , not just of their referendum choice, but of their democratic rights , do now ? How do you govern a country when the majority of the people , the tax payers, don’t believe that you have the right to do so. How long will the Remainer elite be able to govern without the consent of the people? They can suppress the anger for weeks, months but can they do so for years? We live in interesting times.
As none of you stated, in writing, that you were first, you failed. I state, here and now, that I am first. Bow down before my premier post. Look, I am first. Stop it. I am stamping my feet, and screaming until you acknowledge this simple fact. And now, my Nanny will tuck me into my bed. Thank you Nanny.
Oh, Mornington Crescent, by the way.
CP, South Woodford to you!
Up2, the game is over. Are you starting a new challenge?
Why not play by ‘Crossrail ‘ rules ?
CrossRail, another late project, and massively over cost. And then, having escaped from my bedclothes, I remembered HS2. The aim, to link all EU cities by High Speed Rail. But, no money into the UK from the Strasbourg Drunkards. The BBC are massively in favour. So reject it.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Europe
CP & Fed, am still in Fed land up by Whipps Cross. I must move away from that picture.
Up2, the correct response is either Upney, or East Ham. That would be just beyond Barking.
CP, I’m well beyond Barking, mate!
I have just seen the front page of today’s Daily Telegraph:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-48360623
The string of pics of the PM made me whimper and scurry away with my tail between my legs. This hound ain’t happy!*
*especially after this morning’s shameful TOADY programme. I missed the first 40 mins (asleep!) and switched off after Martha let two High Churchmen get out of control after the Govey interview at 8.10am.
Ex-Clayhall!
I would be very happy if 63% of the vote in the UK part of the EU Elections went to The Brexit Party on Thursday. If it did, the TOADY Programme would make for interesting listening on Monday morning.
I’d settle for 53% to 55% as second choice. 53% would pointedly underline another result that had a 52.something% vote. Now, what was that … so long ago …. ?
Up2
I think Monday is a Bank Holiday and the rest of the week is kiddie holidays so the BBC will be ‘powered down ‘ to make it look like the EU elections never happened – unless – of course – the no change party ( or whatever it’s called ) win a seat . Then the Reich flags will be waving alone with Vince Cable and his band of airheads .
The Parliamentary recess is 23 May until 4 June .
Fed, I’m hoping that all the other Parties, with the exception of UKIP, get votes of single figure %ages.
As for the ‘No Change, Unsteady as We Are’ Party, I hope they get a single figure, just one single%, not that they will understand that message or would understand the message even if they obtain a derisory 2% or 3% share.
Parliament likes its hols, doesn’t it? Time for some constituency work. I shall ask my MP – again – to explain why they voted to make me poorer.
Even if the TOADY Show is cut by an hour for the BH, they will have to come up with an awful lot of gas clouds off Beachy Head to explain away the passing of wind that I hope the British electorate will send the REUmainers and Remoaners.
Imagine the beeb’s response if milkshake had been thrown at, say, Saint Obama of Kenya or Saint Cox of Batley…
Wall to wall outrage, and pretentious articles about ‘it starts with milkshake and ends with acid, or shootings’ etc.
But Farage? Bit of a larf, innit.
Tommy? Had it coming, didn’t he.
And why do the BBC feel the need to tell us the flavour of the milkshake FFS!
This Milkshake Spring isn’t political violence – it’s political theatre
Aditya Chakrabortty – The Guardian .
The BBC devoted an hour to the traitor Alistair Campbell and his depression . I can presume the profits went into his production company – or maybe he gave it to a depression charity – can but guess .
Anyway – Mr Campbell’s depression explains a lot about his hysterical hatred of all things brexit . And I think it is amazing that this character – who was / is a political thug – still gets air time on the State Broadcasters – despite never having held public office and effectively being a jumped up journo .
… if, indeed it is depression. I have always been suspicious of this perhaps self-diagnosis. Do we know when this ‘depression’ started, and for how long it has been treated by qualified practitioners, and is Campbell still under the care of such? An alternative view is that this might only be a case of someone with occasional down-periods (as most people experience) who has seen some political advantage in elevating it to ‘depression’.
Aaah, speaking of ‘Springs’, Fed, something has been lurking at the back of my mind, have the BBC missed another 50th Anniversary?
Yes, connected with the Prague Spring and its overturning – which they missed – but an outcome, tragic as it was, of that Prague Spring.
19 January 2019?
It’s “ludic” – Zoe Williams of the Guardian.
Oh my. 10 O’clock news.
BBC report from Hungary trying to influence the European elections.
Desperately finding anyone critical of Viktor Orbán‘s policy of immigration to interview…
Why would the people of Hungary want to open their gates to mass immigration from Africa, Iran, Somalia etc., they would be insane?
I’m not pinning too much hope on Thursday’s elections or the Brexit Party. Lots of people seem to think it will be the end of the Tory Party. How so? These are only EU elections. I read they will be taking 3 days to “count the votes” .
There are suspicions that the past Spanish general elections have been a fraud. The Socialist Party, supported by Soros, won unexpectedly.
Lucy – it May be the beginning of the end of the Tories 1333 councillors dumped 2 weeks ago – potential for no Tory representation in the Reich EU parliament – hopefully a steep downward slope to extinction and replacement by a Right Wing Party which doesn’t do manifestos . A bit like The Brexit Party – but sadly won’t be ‘ right’ enough for me ..,,
As for fiddling with the results – I wouldn’t be surprised . It would have to be well planned and concealed but anything can be done given the will .
It made no difference in my area. The Cons held. There was no alternative other than Greens, Liebour & Lib Dumbs.

Dear BBC
Thank you for this. As a UN piecekeeper (“I’ll keep a piece of this, a piece of that”) I have been looking for an inexpensive destination where I can ‘intervene’ and Sierra Leone looks just the ticket. I had been considering Bradford or Rochdale, but unfortunately they are just so busy these days so I’d be grateful if you didn’t give them any publicity.
Yours thankfully etc

Another BBC headline hides the real story.
BBC Headline….Nan Winton : First woman to read BBC TV news dies.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-48348661
My version. Nancy Wiggington, the first BBC TV news reader to be fired by the BBC after reading only seven times.
‘Describing the then editorial staff as “men in their middle years” who had come from Fleet Street, Winton recalled how the bosses were a “bit ambivalent” about her.
By October the same year, Winton had read the late bulletin seven times before she was taken off the Nine O’Clock News programme.
Michael Peacock, a BBC television executive, called Winton in to his office and sacked her.
“He didn’t say why… and I was furious,” she said.’
Nancy Wigginton, who was better known as Nan Winton, became the first female TV newsreader at the corporation on 20 June 1960.
Winton was an experienced journalist who had worked on Panorama and Town and Around before she joined the television news reading team.
The retired television and radio broadcaster, who lived in Bridport, Dorset, died in hospital on 11 May.
Although Winton was to be the first female BBC newsreader, Barbara Mandell had been a regular in TV news for ITN from 1955.
News of the decision, dubbed by the BBC at the time as an “experiment” but made partly in response to the challenge of commercial television, prompted much debate.
Television bosses at the time believed Winton was serious enough to overcome prejudiced voices in the media that said women were “too frivolous to be the bearers of grave news”
However, Winton’s on-screen role was short lived after viewers deemed a woman reading the late news was “not acceptable”, according to BBC audience research.
Speaking in a BBC documentary about her career in 1997, Winton said she “didn’t realise at the time what a revolutionary thing it was”.
“I did realise everybody was getting very excited about it,” the broadcaster added.
“I didn’t have any trouble from the press or the public. It was the editorial staff who were a bit dodgy.”
Describing the then editorial staff as “men in their middle years” who had come from Fleet Street, Winton recalled how the bosses were a “bit ambivalent” about her.
By October the same year, Winton had read the late bulletin seven times before she was taken off the Nine O’Clock News programme.
Michael Peacock, a BBC television executive, called Winton in to his office and sacked her.
“He didn’t say why… and I was furious,” she said.
There would not be a regular female newsreader until Angela Rippon joined the Nine O’Clock News presentation team in 1975.
Winton went on to work for ITV before retiring.
An inquest was opened into her death at Bournemouth Coroner’s Court on 16 May.
Fran Unsworth, the current BBC director of news and current affairs, paid tribute to Winton.
“At a time when we have a host of brilliant women who present, edit, film and report the BBC news, we should look back and pay tribute to trailblazers such as Nan, the first female newsreader on the BBC,” she said.’
Fran Unsworth. Scum.
Yes, Fran Unsworth,
I can’t find that cringeworthy interview she had with Newswatch after Kriss Donald was savagely tortured and murdered by a Muslim gang because he was white. Newswatch challenged her on why there was so little BBC coverage of the murder and trial.
“It happened on the weekend,” was one of the pathetic excuses she came up with, when everyone knows it was because he was a white victim murdered by Muslim barbarians.
CP, when you look at the article it becomes apparent that Nan Winton ‘towered’ above her colleagues (in all sorts of ways), including the Editorial team, no doubt.
“Holidaymakers hit as pound slides”
More scare tactics from Al Beeb . Do they tell you when the pound rallies?
Do they tell you its good for tourism ?
Help Great Britain by spending your holidays here .
The pound/euro rate is exctly the same as this time last year. Fake news?
Fake news.
Plus, Euro = fake currency.
A call from Jordan ‘Nobby’ NOBBS on the BBC to research links between Anterior Cruciate Ligament injuries and Female periods.

Perhaps another call from Sergeant Angua to research female werewolf sanitary requirements might be rather more helpful?
In memory of Sir Terry Pratchett. With love, and many thanks.
Fortunately I don’t watch any sports, but for those that do the bad news is:
“BBC Sport has launched #ChangeTheGame this summer to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before. Through more live women’s sport available to watch across the BBC this summer, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women’s sport and alter perceptions.”
Or , “We’ve lost all the big stuff to the opposition. Really you will learn to like snook fish cakes, (it’s all there is)”.
Groan.
Game of Thrones: How much do its female characters speak?
Female characters in Game of Thrones get considerably less speaking time than male characters in the show, according to new data.
“It was compiled by research group Ceretai for BBC 100 Women.”
Nice to know the extortion tax money is being well spent.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48335099
Never having watched GoT everyone’s mute; a perfect 50:50 balance then?
Did Ceretai for BBC 100 Women check the ratio of male to female speech from Newsnight from last night (I’m afraid I missed that too)?
“Game of Thrones: How much do its female characters speak?
Female characters in Game of Thrones get considerably less speaking time than male characters in the show, according to new data.”
Maybe Naz Shah told them to keep their mouths shut for the sake of diversity.
DId she mean, let them keep quiet and get on with doing what they’re good at?
Boris.
Here is your opportunity to become Prime Minister.
Your speech, stating that you are a candidate, must contain a commitment that, as PM, you will initiate an investigation as to whether treason charges can be brought against Heath, Major, Blair, Brown and May.
Identical charges must be brought against lesser suspects.
Before these investigations begin you must introduce legislation, under which capital punishment is mandatory
for treason, and your legislation must specifically demand ex post facto action.
I do not believe that you are of the stature of the woman recently voted the best UK PM ever, but I am willing,
as never before, to be proved wrong.
If you need advice, apart from mine, the best friend the UK ever had is now POTUS.
The UK is at war, if you become PM you must acquire, and deserve, the name of Boris the Swamp Drainer.
As PM please begin the process of eliminating our enemies within.
As PM please ensure the UK is prepared to resist our many enemies without, starting with the EU.

What is this “actresses” nonsense?
For the last five years these female persons have been described as actors by the, unisexual, BBC, The Washington Post, The New York Times …
I assume they now have equal pay, and are demanding more.
Roland Deschain,
Huh? The BBC is distinguishing between actors and actresses?! Don’t they know that is sexist?
I’m sure those actre… er, actors will complain bitterly and the BBC will abjectly apologise and immediately delete the tweet.
But “actor” is a masculine term.
Pretty sure YAB and Abbott will have more to say.
The dragon Drogon has zero speaking time, but says most by melting the iron throne , by breathing on it , pointing out what a silly game it all was.
Little Owen pops up.
Aw, Diddums.
theisland,
More whining from Owen Jones? He is such a wimp and a snowflake. That he could achieve any kind of prominence is an indictment on lefty society.
I recall that in one of Paul Weston’s videos he described Jones as a “pipsqueak.” That really fits.
‘Owen Jones
”For those claiming this didn’t happen..” ‘
Some context might help when posting here!
Was Owen Jones worried about being ‘milkshaked’? A gather that’s what passes for political discourse in 2019.
Apparently in queer ‘culture ‘ milkshake has another meaning ( I looked it up on googly as I am not of that ‘type ‘ which I under stand master jones is ) …
Yes I recall there was a popular song about it set in a school playground?
I do wonder how the Guardian smirkers would react if one of their heros was publicly humiliated? Would that be the point at which ‘political theatre’ stopped?

“HenrikSweden67
No matter what the poor Mrs. May is doing to try organizing an orderly Brexit, she is confonted with No from right to left.
Since the cradle of and beacon for democracy, the House of Commons has shown its complete incompetence in a matter of utmost national importance,
I feel very desillusioned. And in my darkest hours,
I hope the EU will solve the problem for you; by not granting any further extension of article 50, meaning a no deal Haloween Brexit.
In all those endless debates and infighting in Britain, I wished you could at least recognize the mood in other EU Member States.
As a non British proud EU citizen, my feelings are; Just leave.
We are utterly tired of this circus where every EU Summit and meeting is about the bloody Brexit.
We did not ask for it, nor did we force it upon you. It is an enterly British affair. But please, make up your minds before we do it for you.
If you can’t pass the quite reasonable deal, I can only, in dispair, hope for a no deal that at least would put an end to the UK hi-jacking of European Summits where a number of other, far more, important issues need to be dealt with (China, EU-US Trade, border security etc.) The whole stupid Brexit process had undoubtedly damaged Britain.
But don’t let it damage the EU more than it already has by consuming all sessions and meetings.
I am not alone in beeing completely fed-up by this.”
HS67 registered with the Guardian on 2019-02-07, and has been ubiquitous in the last week.
“dispair”, HS67 inserts a few “English errors” into he/she/its comments to suggest that an authentic Swedish view is being presented.
I strongly suspect that this is, yet another, Guardian journalist (paid by the TV licence) on overtime.
I cannot find any comments about Swedish women “dispairing” about being raped by EU imports to Sweden, in hsi history.
“border security”, you must be joking Polly/Zoe/Marina/hsi, the EU is responsible for the deliberately porous borders, the invaders vote EU.
Temporarily.

An interesting view – I don’t agree with what this character says in relation to the House of Commons . It was done a fantastic job frustrating democracy – ignoring the votes of the people who gave MPs their seats – aided by a Speaker who will go down in history as an example of how power corrupts . They even got away with having a criminal deciding a national vote whilst wearing a tag – and Keith Vaz turning up despite being ‘too ill’. The only thing they missed on was having IRA MPs come across the water.
There are remainer constituencies with remainer MPs – fair enough – but for the other 500 who have gone against their constituents votes – they are still in a job , they haven’t been ‘milkshaked’ And they can look forward to another 3 years of building their parliamentary pension and taking backhanders .
There was an item about Middlesbrough yesterday – the brexit vote was 65% leave – yet the 4 labour MPs for the city are all remainers and all got their jobs 3 years later
As for frustrating the ReichEU. Let’s all lose sleep over that . The EU failed to accommodate Cameron before he was made to call a referendum so blame can be shared around .
I’m generally against governments – whether UK or EU because their views aren’t mine and all they think about is imposing more and more control on you and me- and you and me can pay for it too.
As an aside – I switched on toady but the bee woman and the ethnic work experience girl was on so the off switch came into play after I heard the weather.
Thinking back on the PMs speech yesterday Tuesday – she was at PWC to make it (why?) and kept looking up above the camera – it turns out there were a load of accountants at the back and she seemed to be talking to them. As some wag said – it looked like a hostage video .
The environment can sleep a little easier now Michael Gove has banned cotton buds
Yes, but how will I know which is which? Is the bud that little stick thingee, and the backstabber that thingee with the specs wot sticks close to May?
I mean, I’d hate a stab in the eardrum…Painful perforation.
The BBC guidelines at 5 .4 .20. Describes how language should be controlled in BBC broadcasts . It includes guidance on ‘sexual bad language ‘ even so far as when the C word can be used and the variations on the F word
Anyway – last week there was a world this weekend where mardell had a chat with a libdem – who used the term “b——to Brexit “ . I was in delicate company and upset was caused . So I put in my first complaint to the BBC because there was no warning about bad language , no editing out , no apology .
Yesterday I received a ‘holding ‘ message saying they are still investigating the matter – heading for 2 weeks after the event .
On my reading of the BBC guidelines ( know your enemy ) there is a clear breach and Mardell needs to do one of those apologies the BBC seems to think makes everything OK. I think I am owed compensation ….
I will update when the full ‘finding ‘ comes through ….
Up2 – Phew! For a minute there I thought you were saying ‘how language should be controlled BY bbc broadcasts…’
Muslim terrorists watch
Today is the 6th anniversary of Lee Rigby being murdered by Islamic terrorists

Wonder if beeb will remember?
TOADY has sent Manveen Rana to investigate party election funding, and guess what she found?
Yes, you guessed it. Only UKIP and the Brexit party were ‘infringing’, all the other angels -each one called by name- were being 100% good! Ping! Gold dust and stars on them all!
If you believe this R4 propaganda, you’ll believe anything, starting with these kindly fairies…
Come to think of it, if you believe anything you hear on R4, Toady in particular, it’s fairy dust to you….
I mean, take liar, May. Would you believe a single word she says?
Well, maybe in Fairyland.
Manveen seems well qualified to ‘investigate’ postal voting.
Bet things are rosy there too.
Take a break Election Commision the State Broadcaster is doing your job just until Thursday.
The BBC are too dim to realise that broadcasting their attempted ‘hit’ earlier on the Brexit Party funding (Toady after 0730) simply will not wash with whatever listeners they have left. The upshot of that report is only that, The Brexit Party complies with the law and the, “several hours” spent with the Party by the Electoral Commission did not result in the suspension of their operation.
Well, BBC, using your terminology, The Brexit Party should now make it public that: “We think we’ve got it about right”. And so say all of us!
The mail on line shows the Queue to get into Olympia in London last night for the final Brexit Party rally – 3000 present and over 30000 on the live stream .
This is ignored by the BBC . Bias by omission . I was thinking of the blanket coverage such a turn out would get if it was something of which the BBC approves – they’d have a ‘ newsnight ‘ special or the 7pm show doing an amusing broadcast with screaming amusing people bouncing about for the camera.
But nothing – not a whisper . It seems the BBC had realised what is about to come and decided to ignore the various campaigns – particularly the Chooka show which seems about as popular as a ‘Jamie ‘ restaurant .
Fed,
“…they’d have a ‘ newsnight ‘ special or the 7pm show doing an amusing broadcast with screaming amusing people bouncing about for the camera.”
Not forgetting the camera panning around the audience to seek the isolated black or asian face……….
As a general observation I don’t see much enthusiasm for MV4 on State Broadcaster’s pages.
I wonder out loud if this is the end of dancing ‘in the middle of the road’? Try to please both Conservative and Labour MPs and May’s world turns to excrement. Consensus politics anyone?
Im betting that as we speak the MSM are desparately trying to get “foreign” donations through the net at the brexit party so that come sunday, when the brexit party landslide is announced they can come out the woodwork claiming dirty money is funding the brexit party and use it as a way to discredit the result.
You heard it here first
Theresa May is an Entryist Marxist, not some screaming citizen Smith revolutionary type, but one who has quietly got on with the destruction of an old once right of centre British political party in a way where it might never be able to recover.
There are utter spinless fools amongst the MPs in this party, and I’m sure in constituencies where they were not elected as well. Despite an obvious and clear threat in Theresa May they were incapable of seeing what she is, and unwilling to take any action to remove her.
So now in ne great last act of destruction she delivers what might just be the final coup de grace before she leaves, and still the loons can’t see what is going on.
To some people, if it says baked beans on the tin, and it contains pears, it is a tin of baked beans because the label says so.
The only way I can see the Tory party recovering from this is if the method of candidate selection is radically overhauled, and someone with a modicum of sense appointed to oversee it. Someone with a decent knowledge of what conservatism is – and that doesn’t mean a member of the rotten schools alumni who would select on the basis of the old school tie.
I do hope the conservatives become history, as their ‘austerity’ policies show they only care for the well off.
But I’m not so sure they will , they just won most seats in the council elections.
Auterity policies ? What austerity policies? She’s spending at such a rate of knots there won’t be anything left for Corbyn to squander if he does become PM.
Government borrowing was £24.7 Bn for the previous financial year, but the year before it was £41.9 Bn That is an unsustainable amount going forward. It also puts into some context the huge amount lady bountiful offered the EU without any concession what so ever.
Globalism means that the rich can now simply up sticks and move to another country, and many are making plans to do so whouls Corbyn be elected.
The trick is to maximise the tax take from the rich, and not to simply punish them for beng successful.
Yes spending on the well off after siphoning if from the poor
What austerity policies?
these kind:
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/24/world/europe/britain-austerity-may-budget.html
Corbyn ?
how about a benevolent dictator on a tank sorting the mess out
Ah yes the good old foodbanks, odd how hideously white the customers of those places are isn’t it?
Some of the customers there are because of the civil service incompetence taking weeks to process a claim or a switch over. They are largely run by Trussel Trust which has links to the Labour party and they even began under Gordon Browns high spending government.
https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2015/04/was-food-poverty-actually-higher-under-the-last-labour-government/
Isn’t it strange that if you give away free food people will come for it and the more places that give away free food the more people turn up.
Is it any wonder that food bank use is increasing.
If you opened a shop to hand out free money my guess is that lots of people would use it. Open more free money shops and more people would turn up.
Is the basic income (plus the other benefits) so low that people are starving. What is the minimum income.
Pensioners get £6,000. Is that too low.
Nurses, who we are told are having to use food banks, get a starting pay of over £23,000 and more in London.
So what’s the truth about food banks.
Is Britain starving or is giving away free food proving popular.
I appreciate some people hit hard times and rightly need temporary help but increasing use of food banks is being used as a political weapon and I don’t think it’s a true picture of what is happening.
Maybe some of you can show reasons to support the ever expanding food giveaway as I admit I only see what’s going on via the media and labour’s persistent mentioning of ever increasing food bank use.
Eddy,
Some ones got to say it I suppose; every woman in that photo appears to be rather – erm, Big, don’t ya think?
On the other side of the coin, there are rarely any white people (large or small) at the front of the queue when the Sales are on. Its generally BAME of every persuasion who scramble over everyone when the doors are opened.
just pointing out while our population has someonne slightly poorer than themselves to hate on , and someone to look up ,to the Tory party are here to stay, however much they mess up brexit etc..
I think we have a politcal vacuum when it comes to conservative ideas. Dr Jordan Peterson has shown that there is a great demand around the world to bring back these ideas, such as taking personal responsibility.
We have been ‘progressively’ losing our ‘positive’ rights, (I am free to do this and you can’t stop me), in favour of ‘negative’ rights, (I am entitled to this and you must give it to me). Positive rights control the power of the state, negative rights empower the state and enslave the people.
Is some of this the result of feminising society? (There are some very good ‘conservative’ women speakers so I’m not saying women aren’t ‘conservative’). As Peterson has said, men know that there are limits in an argument beyond which you will get thumped, but a ‘gentleman’ assumes that a woman is a ‘lady’, a mother, and due respect. Politicians like Jess Phillips will play that card and then proudly ‘put the boot in’, declaring that they are ‘powerful’ and no lady. Would Mrs May have lasted five minutes if she had been a man? I doubt it. The result is that soft compromises are made and not challenged, rather than making tough decisions, especially taking responsibility for one’s actions.
Jim,
Having looked again at the Tory Cabinet chums – every male comes over as rather weak. Too scared to raise their voice in protest at anything which offends the Trotsky left MPs opposite them.
Effeminates usually give into loud orders – even quite suggestions from their Boss will usually make them go to the corner of the room..
Classic BBC/ITV comparison.
Breakfast: Startled Rabbit Starmer listened to uninterrupted by attentive sofa duo, painfully impressed by statesmanlike performance. Nothing so rude or contentious as a leading or even pertinent question, allowed total freedom to project bias, condescension and hubris for minutes.
GMB: Fat, arrogant Thornberry disconcerted by highly pertinent, relevant and incisive questions on Brexit, Trump, Corbyn and nuclear deterrent.

How sad! O.N. Wilson didn’t come across at all well in his discussion with Jacob Rees-Mogg on the Today programme, and damaged what reputation he might have had for objectivity. When the encounter was first announced as ‘a discussion between JRM and another historian’, I thought it might have been the notorious A.C. Grayling, but Wilson turned out to be of the same cloth.
Martin – I usually have some regard for AN Wilson (but ONLY some; he can be a bit of a pinko).
In this instance I can’t help the feeling that he thought to himself: I’m on the bbc; the bbc don’t like Rees-Mogg; I’m going to have to prove myself worthy of our public, impartial broadcaster, by giving this Mogg chapee a little chop to the jugular…
That way they’ll have me on again soon, and i could do with some exposure.
Or is that a little unfair?
Two Romanian men, 39 and 45, attempted to abduct two local teenage girls, 13 and 14, on Sunday afternoon in my home town. They directed sexually explicit language at the girls as they walked along a residential street, harassing them in broad daylight from their untaxed and uninsured car. They then tried to get them into the car but were stopped from doing so by some alert locals. Luckily for the men the PSNI responded, probably aware that the Romanians were in an area with an increasingly intolerant local community and a strong Loyalist paramilitary presence.
According to Facebook this is one of three similar incidents, all involving Romanian nationals, that occurred locally over the weekend. One of these was the sexual assault of a local woman, grocery shopping accompanied by her 9 year old daughter who was aggressively pushed out of the way, as one of a group of Roma men rubbed himself against her mother in a crowded supermarket. The “Concerned Residents” Facebook page, that was set up a couple of years ago to highlight increasing levels of anti-social and criminal behaviour by an influx of foreign nationals especially Roma, voiced the call from a UKIP representative as he asked for the local community to fill the void left by a poorly resourced police service and for hundreds of local men to engage in, as he phrased it, a renewed “Neighbourhood watch”. Britain First also have a vocal presence in this traditionally working-class and Unionist area. I think there may be trouble ahead.
The unsuccessful sexual predators have been charged with attempted abduction and been refused bail for their own safety, having been named and shamed by local radio, local newspapers including the Belfast Telegraph, and by the local ITV News.
The bBC? Nothing.
Generally correct. In the way that the media use ‘Asian’ when they really mean Muslims of Pakistani background, the media routinely uses ‘Romanian’ or even ‘East European’ when they are talking about Roma. This is not by accident: it is a matter of policy to hide the origins of some criminals and which, intentionally or unintentionally, besmirches Romanians and other Slavic, Balkan and Baltic people in the same way that the term ‘Asian’ besmirches Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Indians and so on. The term ‘Roma’ is generally only used when it comes to victimisation and discrimination, both real and perceived.
pug, I agree although I also get the other point you appear to be making. Romanians are no worse, generally speaking, than any other nation.
But what is really bad here is that the BBC appear to be deliberately overlooking crime, and news of crimes, in deference to nationality and/or skin colour.
That is morally indefensible.
Pugz, I know what you mean, but….
They are Romanian. Perhaps they are Roma, but maybe “white” Romanians need to do more to highlight this and to disassociate themselves from the Roma, we both know there is a difference, as they have no problem maintaining this separation in their homeland.
The only reason that we know that these men were Romanian at all is that a local radio presenter inadvertently identified them as such in a news bulletin, an apparently unforgivable error as almost apologetically pointed out on a local website. When their names are given it is obvious, but their ethnicity is not as no pictures have been shown, they are simply “Romanian”.
The point I’m making is as Up2 says. We are treated as imbeciles by the bBC, what little information we are allowed is kept as vague and as unspecified as possible, lacking in detail or context, so that we do not jump to the “wrong” conclusion, especially when ethnicity or culture is relevant. They still sincerely believe that the great unwashed are too stupid and disinterested to notice things for themselves and that they, the bBC, are the only show in town. In reality of course, as Ian points out, this type or lack of journalistic integrity actually only leads to, in this instance, all Romanians being tarred with the same brush, and possibly then all Eastern Europeans being thought of in this way, Romanian or not.
“Perhaps they are Roma, but maybe “white” Romanians need to do more to highlight this and to disassociate themselves from the Roma”
they do , they cant believe we let them all in
I’ve had non Roma Romanians as neighbours, twice in fact, and they were lovely.
Rich,
“…. a poorly resourced police service…”. Its that expression again. Surely, it has more to do with the police even wanting to get involved in the first instance? That is the experience in England.
G,
They’re far too politicised and pandering to be of any practical use here any more either.
Much like the NHS, “poorly resourced” translates as “badly managed”.
It’s OK – Maxicnut will be along shortly to explain how you have it all wrong.
Rich,
I do miss the Crimewatch mugshots on the programme website. It was only there, unwittingly, our “Most Trusted….” posted names and photos of the ‘most wanted’. Boy, that was more accurate than any reporting. It identified the foreign nationals and ‘foreign’ British nationals that were predominately carrying out the serious crimes.
Any chance that they will be deported?
I await a BBC spokesperson stating that milk which is anything other than totally fresh contains a small quantity of lactic acid and that therefore Ms Townsley’s comments have been taken totally out of context.
Who’s confident that we the British people we get a NO Deal Brexit.?
can we embed polls into the site?
I know its not BBC but ITV TV adds are simply pushing the agenda of white/black relationships so much these days so when I saw this TV add I simply could not hold my disgust. See how many of the front row couples (some with mixed race kids whose colour proves that mom must be white and father black) you can spot:
Notice how the black males are leaning/touching their white partners. The full TV add makes it quite clear whose with who.
Oh, the huge knife in the big black guys hand and of another woman was to cut the tape in front of them.
…or is it?
I think that is a right on advert for the Co-Op, which is the retail arm of the Labour Party.
“The fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists”
No one is really sure who was responsible for this quote but for me it accurately sums up the people who are against Brexit, Farage and Robinson etc. It would include organisations like the BBC with its biased leftwing agenda, Antifa and individuals like George Soros.
As for The Electoral Commission investigating how The Brexit Party is funded, then I think this contributor to Guido sums up the case well:
“The electoral commission are corrupt. Simple as that. When bodies that are supposed to be impartial, such as the electoral commission, the BBC, Channel 4 and other TV, radio and newspaper outlets are biased and corrupt then democracy has no chance.
The Tory party could have dealt with this but they have not as they thrive on the status quo as they get to dip their beaks in the trough too.
Farage needs to be PM and the Brexit party need to wipe the legacy parties out.”
As usual, Pat Condell hits the nail on the head:
“I don’t care if Farage is funded by Russia, the mob, or Satan on stilts. I’m still voting for him on Thursday.”
Pug,
How can you condemn our far left cultural Marxist State Broadcaster for following the ‘Smartie’ trail to The Brexit Party’s front door? After all, our State Broadcaster confessed to receiving 3 million Euro’s from the EU on a FoI Request but that was trasformed into 4.3 million on the EU’s admission. “….which is considerably more than the £3 million which the BBC claims it received in the 32 months which included the whole of 2012. There seems to be something of a mismatch, which needs explaining.”
http://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=84760
But who will be challenging our, “Worlds Most Trusted Broadcaster” to explain in detail that anomaly and money received since?
Wonder why this article about FakeNews got deleted
and can only be found on internet archive
or the anti-Trump book it was in
I’m guessing it’s cos it has FakeNews in it itself
Al beeb post a very ‘discreet’ tribute to the Manchester arena muslim massacre, almost invisible on their Home page, and of course never mention the religion behind the attack. It’s just ‘a bombing’, could be the Mormons for all we know.
It was of course a muslim, doing what the religion of war and violence tells him to do, namely to wage ceaseless war against the infidel until islam is established all over the world.
“Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush…”

@Mark Hodgson, writes: It appears RT have that story correctly
Charity worker provokes outrage with Farage attack tweet
‘I'd prefer ACID but milkshakes will do’
Also : Bristol Post
I can't find it on the BBC website, not even having drilled down to the Bristol section of their site. I accept that in many ways it's a trivial story, and not especially newsworthy, but it's interesting to see how the BBC views the world.
I imagine, had this been a tweet from a "far right" person in the event of a similar acid attack on a left-wing politician, it would have been reported by the BBC promptly and prominently.
That last point is pure speculation, I accept, but what we do know is that the BBC deems that story not to be newsworthy while regarding the following stories from the Bristol area to be sufficiently newsworthy to be reported:
Drunk Avon and Somerset officer groped two women
Body image photos to promote mental health week
The Gay Bikers Motorcycle Club members' stories
I appreciate that any news editor has to make difficult decisions about which stories to include and which to omit.
Unfortunately the BBC news editors will
– ALWAYS include some stories on a repetitious basis
… while always ignoring stories of other types.
Stew,
I reckon we all know this remark was just a joke.
I think the difference is that when we on the right make a joke such as the Jess Phillips one, the MSM go overboard and every interview with UKIP is taken over by an interviewer who wants to look incredulous that such a terrible thing was ever uttered.
Extreme virtue signalling for interviewers.
We all know the left doesn’t do humour (ok, they slag off Trump, Farage and Brexit although it’s not funny, just infantile)
Charity worker? BS. Would like to throw acid? Incitement to violence , involving severe injury and possibly worse?
Lock her up!
Hate crime isn’t it, anyone else would be locked up, why not her, she has also Tweeted that rich people should be killed!?
Cheridee ‘worker’ means our spare cash goes elsewhere.
Simples.
Such a shame that British Steel goes bust one day before the EU elections. At least it gives the chance for every comment from every commentator, whether political or industrial, to make it clear that the insolvency is due to Brexit. You might almost think its been orchestrated.
Nothing to do with the fact that China made more steel last year than the UK industry has done in all its history, the Indians aren’t far behind and there’s more steel available worldwide than all industries combined can use.
No. Obviously it has to be Brexit.
British Steel has been struggling for decades, and has never been able to compete on price with Chinese/Indian steel, even given the price of shipping it half way around the world (cheaper workers, cheaper coal, no green taxes, government subsidies…).
I had an interview with them for the milk round in the early 90s, and was offered a place with them at Port Talbot, but turned it down because my father and uncle persuaded me there was no future in the British steel industry (how right they were).
Brexit my arse! The EU hammered the last nail in the coffin with their crippling ‘green taxes’, if it the industry had been worth anything they would have relocated it to Slovenia by now anyway… funny how the BBC never discusses the 100,000s of manufacturing/industrial jobs lost to Eastern Europe over the last 30 years, isn’t it?
Also, they didn’t mention (at least not on Radio 4 news) that it is EU rules that prevent the Government from helping out.
Yes, Beltane ,the amount of diversionary news just before the Euro-election is truly staggering.
One might almost have thought that someone in Govt. had a word with British Steel and/or their accountants to rush out the announcement now-lots of luvverly coded warnings to the sheeple from those Northern constituencies about the futility of voting against the globalist elite and the LibLabCon!
The Bloomberg rep on R5 dead mentioned the magic distaste ‘because of uncertainty with Brexit’, about twenty times, last night.
Silly bitch is fave of the month to make the sodding programme seem sensible!
Borrocks as usual.
So…. the UN has declared the AI devices such as Alexa are sexist because they have female voices!!!
Surely they would come to the same conclusion and possibly even more so if they only used male voices..
Maybe they should recommend using only gerbil voices, oops sorry that would infuriate the vegans and RSPCA.
It just keeps on getting madder and madder, maybe I will wake from this nightmare soon….
Was that a Hare wearing a pocket watch I just saw? … and who is the guy with the top hat over there… and whats the Queen doing here? and get that animal out of that teapot!
Dutch asylum minister Mark Harbers has resigned after he hid the number of ‘refugees’ suspected of serious crimes from a crime report.
—”Harbers failed to include a category called ‘other’ in the report on crimes committed by asylum seekers, which included 79 sexual offenses, 51 aggravated assaults, and 31 suspicions of murder and manslaughter.”
Seems to be reported by Reuters and the Daily Mail, but a day before the EU elections not a single other UK news outlet believes it worth mentioning. Still, Taiwan News is all over it.

Interesting that British Steel has fallen into receivership and 25,000 workers now face losing their jobs, and it has been impossible for the BBC to avoid reporting the truth that the government cannot even give the company a guaranteed loan because of EU legislation.
IF Toxic Tess had got us out of Europe she would have been able to offer this money, save the jobs and leave Britain with a working steel industry, but the elites who refused every chance of doing so have now added at lease another 25K votes for the Brexit party.
Just when you think Toxic Tess couldn’t do anymore damage to the Tories she announces this a day before the EU elections !
The hatchet job on Margaret Thatcher continues tonight on BBC2 in A very British Revolution.But why hasn’t the BBC commissioned at documentary on the second anniversary of the Islam attack at the Manchester Arena. At PM questions time all the virtue signalling MPs said their hearts when out to the victims and families, but the cowards would not mention who had carried out the attack.
Did you know some blonde Swedish girl is Woman Footballer of the Year? You didn’t?

Sorry for the bad language, but I really have had enough of them and poxy agendas.
Nothing very bad about the language – bullshit – except perhaps the innate sexism present in the choice of male fecal matter as opposed to that same substance as produced – and thought by some to be superior in consistency and fertility – by females. This not only places undue emphasis on a by-product created and excreted in equal quantities by both male and female, it tends to suggest a superiority which is patently unearned and unmerited.
Some sources have suggested the term would be better used as the descriptive: ‘cowshit’ although the juxtaposition of ‘cow’ with fecal waste might be construed as unfairly critical, comparisons with cow in a perjorative sense being outlawed under UN resolution 335/4/2017.

I think there is something called the womens football world cup on in the next few weeks. I wont be watching, but even more so when the promo being advertised is accompanied by bloody rap music !
This rap noise is becoming more prevalent in advertising, and yes its a black noise so I see the connection and get that media types love it, but blacks also gave us jazz, R & B, soul, motown which are infinitely more easy on the ear, – but rap is unintelligible, tuneless and had its roots in gun culture which is hard to promote, so why are we being assailed with it now ?
Some words have a silent letter, written but not pronounced. ‘Rap’ has a missing letter, pronounced but not written.

I’m guessing that if the state wanted to bail out British steel it couldn’t because we are still in the ReichEU .
A brexit Government would say this loudly but since the traitors all want to remain they stay silent – particularly with voting tomorrow .
And of course the BBC won’t say anything .
“the most stupid PMs we have ever had in charge….and a Remainer”
I know I’m a stuck record – the trap was set in 2017 and the electorate fell in voting into office/opposition the two biggest remainer parties of 2016. Even the PM calling the poll had openly campaigned for remain. What on Earth did we think would happen to ‘leaving’ the EU by electing these two?
Still if Corbyn has his way we’ll have another chance soon.
