    TOADY Watch #1

    Off switch utilised a couple of times in protest after switching on at 6.40am. Second time came in Prime Interview slot when Mishal just had to interview a wimmin who landed on the moon in 1969.

    Or not.

    Switched back on during an interview with someone running NASA (a man – not a wimmin – boo, men bad, wimmin good). NASA Man wants to go back to the Moon within five years and then on to Mars.

    Mishal didn’t ask about Anthropogenic Global Warming, Climate Change, Climate Emergency, Climate Crisis, Climate Disaster and Carbon NetZero.

    I wonder why?

    (Question too complicated for a man, needed a wimmin in charge at NASA to answer that sort of question? Mishal not bright enough to ask? Mishal told by a wimmin, Sarah Sands, to not ask that inconvenient question because it might reveal an inconvenient truth?)

      I’ve heard there’s a lot of junk and rubbish that’s been left on the moon from the earlier visits so it’s a no brainer that we should send up a couple of wimmin next to tidy up a bit.

      I google ‘biased bbc’ to find the site. It used (until a year or two ago) come up when I just typed ‘bia…’ now I have to type in the whole word ‘biased’ and it comes up as about the 4th suggestion.

      I would bookmark if I were you Andy, I think this is only going to get worse.

      The suggestions I get now on Youtube tend to be my music preferences and many of my political sites that used to be recommended have disappeared. I have now started asking for notifications but the number that appear drive me mad.

    TOADY Watch #2

    President Trump is a thoughtless oaf. That’s not the BBC saying that, it is me writing that. He really should either get off Twitter or think more and for much longer before he Tweets.

    He was popular with BAME Americans who helped him win the Presidency in 2016. In return, he helped find them more jobs and better jobs. He has now damaged his standing in some key electoral States, like Florida. There will be plenty who believe what the Democrats say about ‘that Tweet’ and may vote accordingly in 2020.

    The BBC are, of course, saying “President Trump is racist” and are busy helping others say “He is a racist.”

    Can someone on here put up that first Tweet (all of it) on this web-site. Maybe pin it to the top of a Thread? I suspect that yesterday and today the BBC have been deliberately omitting part of it while running it – sometimes as first item – in News bulletins.

    I would like to know if there is a ‘missing’ sentence.

    I have heard that it’s down there, at the end of the original Tweet, BBC.

    Care to read it out on air, BBC?

    No, I thought not.

      I think these are what you’re after.

      But I’d have to disagree. He’s far from a thoughtless oaf. He thinks these things through very strategically. The Democrats have been trying to distance themselves from these four, as they are extreme and very off putting to many potential Democrat voters. Remember Nancy Pelosi attacked them recently and, surprise surprise, was called a racist. Now the Democrats have been forced to show these ladies as the face of the party. Trump evidently considers that voters lost by the Democrats will outweigh any he has alienated.

      Note he’s never mentioned any names, and also said they should come back. Who he is referring to has simply been assumed.

          RD & JA, I think you are both wrong. President Trump could have tweeted in a way that made ‘his point’, didn’t alienate any swing or Republican voters and could not be edited by the hostile MSM.

          The president is now running the risk of losing key or swing BAME States (eg. Florida) and putting his core vote at risk in other key or swing States like Ohio.

          Bad move. Very bad move. Bad, bad, bad …. greatly bad.

          But thanks for putting up the whole two Tweets, RD. Were they made late at night or in the wee small hours?

          Apparently, according to BBC R4 6pm News today (18th July), President Trump has gone even more for broke at a campaign event last night and he’s having to apologise for winding up some extreme elements chanting ‘Send her back’ in relation to Ilhan Omar.

          This could be the start of President Trump losing to someone who should not be getting the Democratic nomination. Quite crazy to put so much at risk – at this stage – for no real gain. He needs to re-inforce his vote – with the key successes he has had – not weaken it. His campaign team will have their heads in their hands.

    Peter Hitchens has said that the BBC should be able to have
    presenters and reporters with opinions and let the interviewee
    answer them really personally . It would make good TV and Radio.
    Well it looks like to me that BIG BROTHER at the BBC has sent out
    a directive informing his or her or it’s editors that is now the BBC’S
    policy to call Donald Trump a RACIST.
    So be it. Presenters such as the liberal bigots Jo Coburn and
    Emily Maitliss have never been able to hide their bigotry. Let
    them and the rest take the full force of those they are interviewing.
    We saw a bit of it from Rod Liddle on Newsnight last night. I
    reiterate, it makes for riveting television.
    If the BBC has decided to come completely out of the closet and
    have become the left wing converse of Fox News in the USA ,that’s
    fine . But of course they will have to forgo their license fee for this.

    1. The islamophobic, anti EU, unequal, racist, UK presided over by the evil Tories has….errr….the fourth lowest suicide rate in the EU. Among other things between a half and a third of that of EU friendly …..Belgium!
    https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/-/DDN-20180716-1
    2. A deep dive statistical survey from the US showed that suicide rates among transgender people are very high and INCREASE as they go further through gender re-assignment.

    I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that the sooner we get to the bottom of this Marxist/islamist conspiracy in the West to destroy everything proven, sensible and logical, the better. That can only come about by sedition followed by revolution. Serious times need serious action. Things changing so quickly (sorry, ‘deteriorating’) renders the ballot box redundant. In the UK the 2016 Referendum proved that fact so, what’s good for the Government in ignoring the ballot box is good for us all. The quicker we hit rock bottom, the quicker we can recover. I’ll probably not be around to witness the civil unrest that will come after, probably some minor incident triggering it. Unless of course, nothing changes and I’ll be led out of my home in my eighties along with others to a local sports ground to be beheaded by young bearded men shouting, ‘Alluha Akbar’ on each beheading.

      Admittedly, the rape and pillage are separated somewhat. Rape in Rotherham, and pillage whenever the police ‘dis’ a drug dealer. It’s probably difficult, if not impossible, to rape someone and carry a 60″ flat screen TV at the same time.

    There’s going to stacks on the box this week about the astonishing events of fifty years ago, the moon landing. I remember it well and it got me thinking…

    I know that people of a certain vintage often adopt the rose tinted spectacles, but…our country seemed much more at ease with itself then.
    I don’t recall the the divisions in society we see today. People weren’t perennially offended. If you disagreed with someone you weren’t automatically called a racist, a bigot, or a phobe of some sort.
    We didn’t have masked lefties screaming “Nazi” at anyone they disliked…and that’s almost everyone other than Islamist terrorists and Comrade Corbyn.
    We didn’t have the stabbings, the shootings or the acid attacks. I don’t think we could even have imagined such atrocities.
    Gangs of Muslim child rapists that are protected from prosecution by the media, the police and politicians, would have been beyond our understanding. It’s insane.
    I remember that lovely old Roger Miller song that celebrated how peaceful London was, with the line “Bobbies on bicycles, two by two.” What’s happened?
    In those days we looked askance at violent crime in America and were horrified at the state control of people in Russia and East Germany. Now we’ve got both.
    We now seem to be a nation at war with itself. We’re an angry, unhappy and disconnected people.
    Perhaps it’s too easy to point the finger, but I honestly believe that multi-culturalism was deliberately designed to cause the mayhem it has so clearly inflicted.

    I took a nostalgic ramble around my old childhood manor the other day. I remembered the sunny Sunday on the day of the moon landing and me and my mates playing cricket on a small patch of green near our flats. The long summer holidays had begun and the world seemed idyllic.
    You couldn’t play cricket there now, they’ve just built a massive great mosque on the site. And my dad’s old pub is now a Halal butcher.
    I didn’t stay long…

        Fedup2 – we went to Vienna thatyear. I saw the blast off in school in England, the early morning replay of the walking on the moon in Bavaria and the splash down in Austria.

        Jeff, I remember things were largely better, especially as a child when the teachers weren’t trying to politically indoctrinate you from 5 years old. Although we did have a local kiddie fiddler, we felt much safer playing football, cricket or just walking miles when we were kids.

        However, when Ted Heath won in 1970 a TU official said on television that “we will now do whatever we can to get rid of them”. Seems little now but the unions tried to get Heath out from his election point until they succeeded in 1974. Yes he lied to us, but the unions wereonly objecting to the fact that he was a Conservative. They got so much into the habit that they ultimitaely did the same to their own Callaghan government.

        When Thatcher was elected they started name calling from day 1 and were accusing her basically of being a fascist, racist, extreme right-winger etc. It’s got worse ever since, They even called Major and Cameron right-wingers!

        They were doing the same in the USA at the same time. After the criminal Nixon, we had the idiot Ford who was hit on the head too often from his football days. Then Reagan was an idiot, and then a right-wing extremist who wanted war with the USSR. The Bushes were idiots too, as is Trump (amongst all his other crimes).

        All the hate and lies started from the left and they’ve got worse and have become terroristically violent.

      I turned off Vine right at the start when he asked us “are you from an ethnic minority in Britain and have been told ‘to go home’?”

      For a start President Trump didn’t tell anyone ‘to go home’, rather he said they should return to fix the problems ‘back home’ and then return to ‘show us how it is done’. So Trump’s tweet wasn’t a general ‘go back home’ but a request that certain ‘know-it-all’ individuals should stop complaining about the USA until such time that they could show that they were competent. Alihibai-Brown and Lammy come in the same class.

      Never mind that the story was based on ‘fake news’, Vine is out to stir up hate. Lots of us encounter people that upset us, we ignore it, we move on. But Vine wants us to pick at the wound, to inflame and spread the infection.

      I caught the end of the social worker item. Ditto hate spreading. Logically anyone who is of a particular sex, race, religion, political or sporting persuasion should never do social work – they might have to deal with someone outside their demographic.

      The same rules should apply to impartial BBC presenters!

    R4 now discussing recent report from Army
    Why does the BBC feel the need to keep repeating that all the issues are because the Army is run by white middle aged men?
    I cannot imagine them saying are all the issues with Muslim rape gangs because Mosques are run by Old black men or Old Muslim men?
    Why is this obvious hypocrisy allowed to continue

        It’s the kind of idle nonsense airheads talk about when they see no prospect of being directly threatened . Admittedly the style of warfare seen in the 20th c is unlikely ( won’t bother with the reasons )
        But a cyber war turning off the power /water supply would soon see a need for military intervention because a majority snowflake police consisting of community coherence officers ain’t gonna last long ….

          Crazy.
          In the last World War we were confronted by a highly competent and efficient war machine, highly organised (provided their leader kept out of day-to-day decision making!) and driven. On this current ongoing invasion, we are confronted by a force which is half moron and half savage albeit both are driven by big business/media and the Globalists as their tools, and we cannot deal with it? Decisively. The moral fibre in the leadership is just not there any more. In that I refer to the likely incumbent of No.10 and his response to President Trumps attack on the “Squad”. This alone, indicates that Johnston cannot be trusted in any way.

      This has all the hallmarks of the beginning of a BBC Flank Attack. Another “how nasty the army are” is out there re sex pests now.

      The BBC have never liked the Military (along with their idol Soros) and I can bet these are just the opening shots in a running derogatory campaign… watch this space!

      I am going to save them as a list and batter the BBC with it relentlessly. wherever I can.

      There are many of us out there who see through their nasty devious lying ways and I believe we should relentlessly confront them wherever we can, here, social media, BBC complaints Dept etc. en-mass to weaken their foul “this is what you need to think” propaganda.

      If it works for them it should work for us.

    The Muslim terrorist mass murderers ( in BBC speak ‘local men ) have been ruled ‘lawfully killed ‘ by the brave cops who took them on. Tea and Medals all round boys .

    Perhaps the BBC will put the footage up of them being shot again – always cheers me up .. including the bit where the firearms cops forgot to put the handbrake on the Range Rover ….

    Which snowflake is going to be the first one to say ‘whitewash ‘ and the local men should have been taken alive so they could change their ways ….. ‘and face justice ‘ . In my view a piece of high speed metal placed in their head seems very humane for what they did …

    As an addition – the BBC online report describes the event but not the motivation – really can’t think why – bias by omission for the favourite BBC ‘religion ‘.

    There were 183 forced marriage cases intercepted by police across Yorkshire and the Humber last year. Of the 183 cases, 128 were linked to forced marriages being set up in Pakistan.

    A further 18 were linked to Romania, five to Bangladesh and less than five to India.

    Farm murders in South Africa: over the weekend Ina and Sakkie van der Berg were murdered near Boshoff, in the Free State Province.
    Today a farmer and his son were shot in the chest near Muldersdrift, Gauteng Province, when about 5 attackers broke down the back door of their home.
    6-8 September is a White Cross commemoration weekend. There is a mountainside covered by hundreds of white crosses, one for every farmer/family member murdered in SA in recent years.
    The ANC which, for many years set out to make the country ungovernable, is not particularly interested in the war on farmers.
    The bbc is unlikely to report on this issue. Possibly because the attacks are almost daily occurences, one supposes.
    If you think about other possible reasons, you’ll find it easy to work out.

    The BBC as we all well know would dearly like to see a move to a Marxist style State. However the Army are likely to be a problem with that.

    So we are seeing the usual lefty steps to secure the high ground.

    Their narrative:-

    1. The young are being oppressed by old white males. (Get youth on-side)
    2. The male atmosphere in the Army is sexist for women. (Get women on-side)

    To follow in the next few episodes?

    3. Coloured folk and immigrants are discriminated against by the Army (Get diversity on-side option 1)
    4. The Army is intolerant of LGBT folk. (Get diversity on-side option 2)

    Hoped for outcome?

    Make the UK Military appear as obsolete and not-nice and therefore disposable paving the way for a Global Jurisdiction to replace it. (For more read up on Common Purpose, the go-to outfit for BBC staff).

    If this country god forbid ever does find itself in a Nation against Nation war again I hope there are still enough people with backbone, courage and fortitude to take on the task and I hope those people will bring a day of reckoning with the toads who conspired with it.

    Should the BBC have dropped the Wimbledon final then? Just wondering. They usually put something escapist on BBC2 for sport refugees (this year it was Call Me Madam with Ethel Merman, Donald O’Connor and a terrific Irving Berlin score, they don’t make ’em like that any more). Swapping that for cricket really wouldn’t go down that well with Middle England you know!

    There’s an Ashes series ahead. I’ll bet that whatever’s happened by the end of it, and especially if England win back the urn, the World Cup will be reduced to a footnote to the summer. After all, it’s real cricket, not a limited overs novelty knockabout.

    Want to become a millionaire?

    Right, then just be ‘ok’ at throwing food together to make something passable to eat. Be capable of making coloured icing sugar to cover a cake that’s not entirely good enough to set before your Queen. Enter a cookery competition and hide your failings with a bit of face gurneying, oh and being an ethnic minority certainly helps you past the winning post.

    If your lucky our national broadcaster sees you as a poster person, and then gives you a make-over – away with the hijab, and in comes an array of fetching turbans. Non-descript cooking shows /overseas documentaries come your way with ghost written cookery books by the cart load. Don’t worry about the recipes because you clearly don’t have time to know that many with bringing up 3 kids on fish fingers and only eating tinned vegetables.

    And after around 4 years, you too could be a millionaire, courtesy of me and my licence fee.
