So , Ladies Gentlemen and confused .. Thursday marks the sentencing of a journalist after a politically motivated trial in Britain . The BBC will cover it and fight for ‘press freedom ‘ right? Or maybe it’s the kind of ‘press freedom ‘ of which they do not approve . The British State will also want to send a signal to less courageous folk about the cost of challenging what it has allowed to happen – and which is continuing to happen to children in bits of Britain politicians and journalists seldom think of yet alone visit .
I would never recommend a BBC programme – but Wednesday night sees the broadcast of a report on anti semitism in the Labour Party ….
I bet Kim Darroch never knew he had such a huge following of lefty remainers who are falling over each other in trying to tell us all how great a job he was doing.
How he selflessly gave all those years in service to his country (although I’m sure the six figure salary, huge pension, massive perks and generally lording it around with lots of flunkies waiting on him hand and foot at all the parties and banquets he selflessly attended for us)
Yes, what a great man.
All the sacrifices he has made for the lumpen.
I wonder if they would all be praising him were he a leaver.
I doubt it.

He may be a Bercow clone, if rather better groomed, but don’t the BBC just love spiteful, pompous little ‘Sir’ Alan Duncan – a more absurd knight of the realm must be difficult to conceive.
This diminutive clown has piled into Boris at every opportunity of late, nibbling away like a rat at his feet, and with the entirely well merited resignation of our man in Washington, he’s now in his element.
Along with the other once knightly absurdity, John Major, with his latest blather about unconstitutional behavior – how he has the temerity to mention that with his record of ‘achievement’ is totally beyond belief – we are left with one question: What on earth have we as a nation done to deserve such spurious, traitorous, self-promoting scumbags?

Much is predictably being made of HE Sir Darroch’s superb record of diplomatic achievement while in Washington, during which he met President Trump several times and ‘always found him charming’ – which just goes to show that he does actually understand the job description when it suits.
Less time is spent covering the period from 2007-2011 he spent in Brussels as the chief UK Representative, four years enjoying the EU gravy and no doubt laying the foundations of his firmly remainer stance. Another failing from Tereesa – unless of course he was doing just what she wanted at the time.

On the money as usual. The real indicator will be the number of votes Hunt gets linked to what Boris does with him . There was something last week about bojo imposing a ‘promise’ for every cabinet member to be ready for brexit on 31 Oct – deal or no deal .
Maybe that won’t be real .
But if Hunt goes to the Grieve area of the Commons we will know just how Nasty the contest has been behind the pub,if view .
It may well be that the Tory voters have already voted before the ambo issue . It’s a shame it takes so long to get May out the door and a Brexiter in – as long as he doesn’t hit the self destruct button . An election would be insane – not least because it will be fixed by momentum postal voting .

“Daniel Hannan: For Brexit to work, power must be stripped from the quangocrats – and returned to people we elect”
Yes Dan, but we were promised a “Bonfire of the QANGOs” by one David Cameron nearly a decade ago, not happened yet.
Not happened yet because there is a more urgent task, clear all the Lefty “Conservatives” out of the party PERMANENTLY, because these are the people who are blocking all genuine Conservative activities.
You might have a look on BBBC yourself Dan.
The good people here have made many suggestions for curing the current malaise, because the QANGOs are far from the only problem.
#1 Because it is the most important, Islam is incompatible with European values. Muslims need to be returned, willingly or unwillingly, to the home of their ancestors. PDQ.
#2 The public sector has never been fit for purpose and needs root and branch pruning.
Proscribe Comon Purpose as an enemy organisation, sack everybody associated with it.
#3 It is no use privatising the public sector without a new attitude to the private sector. I favour a 10% Carrot, 90% stick, approach.
3.1 Stop tax avoidance by big business, the only reason this has not been done is because politicians are
taking bribes.
3.2 Crooked businessmen and bankers need to spend decades in jail.
#4 Re-introduce compulsory National Service RFN, we need the largest military possible, stop aid to pay for this.
There is much more Dan, but this is todays homework.

The adjustments are justified by NOAA on the basis that those Computer Models based on the EXPENSIVE MISTAKE are more reliable than raw data. Therefore the loonies have taken over the Administration, so no one in Astronomy can now trust the official temperature records for the Earth.

they detained her for a month and deported her.
Now a judge says she must be brought back, as she wasn’t given enough time.

The Ugandan anti gay laws only came in in 2014
Shouldn’t we
#1 say no you can’t claim asylum after overstaying, cos you overstaying means you broke the law.
#2 Not allow ourselves to blackmailed by fear of harm.
We simply cut aid to Uganda if they don’t properly protect their citizens that we deport.

I’m trying to work out why the BBC would do a hatchet job on Labour – it’s best friend -over anti Semitism in the Labour Party .
Maybe it was made before Labour came out as Remain . Or maybe the real target is the red Tory party not liking Islam very much in a forthcoming programme .
As has been discussed here earlier the real issue is about getting Muslim votes by being hostile to Jews and Israel .
Nothing will come of this . But the idea that Labour sent the chair of Labour Friends of Israel – one Andrew Gwynne? – as its mouthpiece was quite funny – only because you could see how rehearsed his answers were and how ambitious this creature must be to climb the hierarchy of the Labour Party .

I think that Labour chasing the Muslim vote will be of no benefit to them in the long run anyway as it’s only a matter of time before a proper Muslim party is formed, similar to Denk in Holland which was formed after a split from the Dutch Labour Party, and every Muslim in Britain votes for it, at least once, as directed.
Imagine London and swathes of the North being represented solely by MPs from an openly Islamist, pro-Palestine, pro-Erdogan, pro-Iran, pro-Sharia, anti-Jewish party that aren’t Labour. Their media/ propaganda wing is already up and running isn’t it?

To answer your question Fedup – which is more than Panorama managed in an hour of issue-skirting – the hatchet job is obviously Part 1.
Part 2, on islamaphobia within the Tory party, will provide a balanced and entirely subjective view of the benefits gained from exposure to the world’s most peaceful and beneficial socio-religious movement.
The programme will be a few days before the PM vote result and contain repeated references to ‘letter boxes’, ‘positive integration’ and ‘unfair bias based on prejudice’.
Unlike Labour/anti-Semitism – which asked no embarrassing questions on the ‘why’ theme, the matter being best left unsaid – Part 2 will clearly show that the whole Conservative edifice is endemically racist and that one of Boris’ first moves on assuming the premiership will be the re-introduction of slavery. And fox hunting, of course.

Short answer – yes . The London Evening Standard reports some – mainly I think – to inform motorists of bits of Londonistan where the roads are closed for 12 hours or more .
I filter my reports here because we are primarily about biased BBC as opposed to London violent crime .
It gets a bit tricky to withhold comment when the violence is very close to where I live .
There is no reason to think that violence in London is likely to be reduced any time in the foreseeable future and my view that homicides will increased at over 10 per cent each year still holds .
The BBC will just report the occasional 12 year old being killed or some other feature which makes it ‘ notable ‘ .

What qualifies as memorable?
I ask only because BBC Radio 4’s brief news at 19:00 (before The Archers) decided that the elimination from the Wimbledon tournament of the mixed doubles pairing of Andy Murray and Serena Williams, after a “memorable run”, was newsworthy.
For those who don’t follow Radio 4, this news is very brief, unlike the longer prog’s at 18:00 or ‘PM’ from 17:00. Why this story is more “memorable” than New Zealand’s excellent win over highly-rated India in the cricket 50-over World Cup semi-final, is beyond me! Also, as Murray & Serena (or ‘Murena’ as they have been nauseatingly called on the BBC Sport website) only got to the last 16, in what sense was it even a “run”? If 8 pairs contest the quarter-finals, how can reaching the last 16 really be a “run”, as the numbers remaining in must roughly follow the pattern 64> 32> 16> 8> 4> 2> Winners? How many pairs were involved? I imagine somewhere between 64 and 128, with some pairs perhaps getting a Round 1 bye.
Is the interest in the scratch pairing of Murray & S Williams because it fits in with the BBC/Marxist agenda of promoting Black people (e.g. Serena, Coco Gauff, Venus W, et al) and subtly hinting at racial mixing with a Black/White partnership?
Fantasy for a women’s doubles pairing for 2020: Heather Watson (British interest, plus mixed race, but maybe a bit too hideously White) and Megan Rapinoe (gay, anti-Trump, obsessed with enforced gender equal pay, LGBTQI activist, foul-mouthed, “role model”, etc).

Only tangentially linked to Al Beeb because he used to work for them and understands how they work, but Rod Liddle’s piece in today’s Speccie is, as so often, alone worth the subscription.
Rod is jokingly seeking to have the use of ‘football’ in reporting of hooligan behaviour declared a hate crime, in much the same way as the MCB seeks to have ‘Muslim’ and ‘Islam’ removed from reporting of Islamist atrocities. He concludes –
“To link Masood with Islam, to say he is a Muslim, is — by the MCB’s definition — Islamophobic and thus a hate crime. To not do so, meanwhile, is to my mind an outright denial of reality. But we are accustoming ourselves to denying reality on an almost daily basis these days, so I suppose one shouldn’t be surprised.”

Vlad, I think this post from the US recognises the contribution diversity makes to to society and how we all benefit from it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the BBC uses it in one of their ‘trailers’ to promote multiculturalism.

Tom Watson calmly explaining that as deputy leader of the Labour Party he knows nothing about how anti semitism in the Labour Party are dealt with
Even worse -he didn’t see the submission by the Labour Party to the Equalities Commission .
I’m surprised Baroness Shabi didn’t get a walk on part as she is usually the ‘ go to ‘ for the BBC .
I suspect she , and creatures like her , will keep her head down for as long as possible .
The causes of this labour attitude is still ignored . The BBC won’t link it to Islam .
Anything which causes people to doubt voting for Labour is only a good thing

Cass,
I can’t find the entrance to this wonderful utopian place where devilsden lives so, please may I be given directions. Don’t tell me: ‘Cannabis or cocaine will be the key’.

Had Radio 1 on in the car earlier. ( i know, how trendy).
They had a jokey feature where a robot hoover predicts the winner of todays cricket between England and Australia. Greg James announces that there are 2 former “legends” of the game on the phone to share the moment.
Who could they be ? Ian Botham, Alan Lamb, Mark Waugh, Alec Stewart, Dominic Cork, Adam Gilchrist ????? So many legends to choose from ……. so, who do the BBC get on as the “legends” ???
Michael Vaughan (fine) and ….i kid you not….Ellyse Perry ( think) from the Womens game !!!! Yeah, a real legend !!!
The PC agenda is pathetic and relentless.
