Midweek Open Thread 24 July 2019

The Biased Far Left BBC knows full well that the new British Prime Minister is no great fan of it . This will lead to a concerted effort to destroy him before he either achieves a successful Brexit and/or turns his attention to reforming a State Broadcaster which has lost its way and is no longer ‘British’.

Obviously making the BBC British and unbiased again can’t be done with the current corrupt Parliament in place . Boris has a long list of issues to repair the damage done by Mrs May to our country . But with help he must start to drain the corrupt swamp including the Biased BBC. Good luck Bo.

    Today is the day that I for one feel a bit more positive about Brexit. May and her cabal made up lies about leaving and its so plain to see now.Judge an MP by his/her actions when it goes against their wishes.Look at how many are throwing their bottles out of the pram,even before boris became PM. Speaks volumes of the calibre of The MP’s and May.

        Indeed. The BBC informs us that the Home Office under Sajid is considering all terrorism.

        UK terror threat level: Risk from right-wing extremists to inform system

        Really. Right wing terrorism is what is keeping the secret services awake all night? It must have been all those bombs, bullets, beheadings etc in the last decade, perpetrated by either Right wingers or a name you aren’t allowed to mention.

        The anti-semitism in the Labour party must also be due to Right wingers.

        Something is really wrong with our country when one cannot mention the severest threat to its foundation. To govern a country properly, one must first recognise truth and say it.

    OK Boris, listen to me.
    Get prepared for the job you need to do.
    One item of equipment is required, a hammer.
    Take down most of the photographs of your most recent predecessors, and smash them.
    Take the photographs of Winston and Saint Margaret wherever you go.
    You will then be in the right frame of mind to smash the EU.
    Together with Saint Donald, we Western people, responsible for most of the creativity and progress made since 1300AD, need you to rescue us from the forces of evil massed against us.

    “the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions
    The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us.
    Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the UK lasts for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.”

            Banania – Thanks for the heads up.

            In March 2019, Braverman was criticised for stating that “As Conservatives, we are engaged in a battle against cultural Marxism”. Critics claimed that she was referring to an antisemitic conspiracy theory often employed by Neo-Nazis and alt-right activists as a means of attacking Jewish people involved in politics. She was criticised by the Board of Deputies of British Jews as well as multiple anti-racism charities.
            Eh??

            Cultural Marxism is destroying the West, bringing in all manners of evil into the West- limiting freedom of speech, transgenderism, radical feminism, deviant sexual behaviour, confused political pronouns and destruction of language, as well as Islam.

            Its astonishing that the Board of Deputies of British Jews attacked her. For what ? Racism?

            In the USA, establishment Jews attack Pres Trump as racist. I cant think of any president in the last 70 years who has been as pro-Israel as Pres Trump. Jews are supposed to have the highest average IQs in the West. Whatsup?

            I therefore change my support from Priti Patel to Suella B. She is cultural Christian at the least, therefore understands the West at a deeper emotional level then Priti P. Too, she has no where to go but the West, unlike Ms Patel, who can run off to India if Islam takes over the UK.

      If the engineering technical achievements of just Scotland are removed from the world body, the BBC will be left using the didgeridoo for its broadcasts.

      And they were all achievements of high order by Christian men. Their Christian faith gave them confidence that God was not a perverse God who changed natural law as it suited him, as pagan gods did.

    It’s odd really, but the ‘sibliminals’ in the BBC are at it already.

    If you care to listen or see the hacks and commentators, they all pile on the ‘how’, ‘where’, ‘why’ statements to confuse and inflate all options in government, and try to make Mr Johnson appear unready to face any of these questions!

    So, we now have the BBC ‘journos’, making all these comments like three-year-olds explaining Buzz Lightyear to a bored grandparent. They’re of course, the grand un-elected, (but paid for by tax) hard-nosed pillars of society, the very people with ‘vast internal experience of government’, ‘the skills of political argument’, ‘enormous gravitas and experience of international trade, budgets and conviction’…

    Naaah, they’re all out to poke our new prime minister at every turn, they’ll be making ‘cases’, for their ‘stories’ in a few months time, when they’ll get their autocue managers to look back at every speech, etc., and then, pop up in front of the cameras, and say …

    …’We told you so’!

    Awaking early today, the R5 Brexit podcast was full of such deep, reasoned argument, that it was clear that with all the journos’ ‘knowledge’, they were indeed such a superior race, that it would be utterly impossible for Mr Johnson ever to even believe that he had a cat in hell’s chance of getting anywhere. The ‘podcast’ was the usual obfuscation of ‘facts’, the squeals and ‘you knows’ which epitomise the sort of cheap-sweets dross the (tax)paying public will have to endure for several months, maybe until they’re eventually stopped….

    Oh, and I told you so…;0)

BBC are despicable in their clear hatred of Boris and Brexit.

    to attack him . We have already seen the plethora of the wimmin

    The middle class mum explaining being a fake christian to get her child into the good school, all in the style of a drug dealer down an alley, was so BBC,
    It wavered over dating agencies for the middle class ex public school pupils, but returned to form when he did a short stand up in front of three po-faced student union types was brilliant.
    I was laughing as he told about his one armed dad moaning about the Paralympics, “he’s not disabled” “He’s not either”
    He knew that he would not be able to get University gigs very soon.
    I think it’s worth a look.

      Agree Stevie but to broadcast in this country you need a license from the government. Fox had one but gave it up for reasons unknown but liberal establishment pressure on other parts of their business empire is likely to have been the cause. No right of centre anti liberal establishment news provider will get a license . This leaves the internet as a source of news but the establishment is slowly gaining control of it and shutting down outlets it doesn’t like.
      The tentacles of the establishment are everywhere , media, education, civil service, judiciary, police, numerous quangos, councils etc etc , which is why beating them and throwing off their shackles will take years . They use their power ruthlessly, as we have seen with TR , victory of the people over their liberal masters is far from certain.

    Ok so the BBC trend is that we have been lumbered with a PM that only point zilch percent of the population voted for as if to say his election was somehow false and dodgy.

    Interviewing young “entrepreneurs” on the morning news along the lines of I don’t feel represented by this prime minister and I’m not a member of the Tory party etc. etc. etc.

    So when did the UK population get ever to vote for the PM? I don’t remember being offered a vote for May, Cameron, Blair, Churchill, Cromwell or any PM in living memory etc. etc. And if Labour get into power I bet we don’t get a vote to choose Corbyn to be PM either

    I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before but there appears to have been a subtle change in the way the Have Your Say comments are collated on the bbbc.

    In previous years, the highest rated comments were shown as a ratio between the up ticks v the down ticks and vice versa. Now it is shown as a total number cast for either to give ranking. The upshot of this is there is no easy way to escape the action of bots or momentum or whatever gang culture is affecting the ‘grading’. For example, a negative comment about Johnson’s new leadership could be at the top of the highest rated with 1000 up ticks to 600 down ticks. Conversely, the same comment appears as the first visible shown in the ‘ lowest rated’ simply because of the number of down ticks.
    In one fell swoop, those of us who can’t be bothered with the general drivel posted and who simply wish to see what the general consensus might be, get a false picture and a double serving of the same viewpoint, whether we choose ‘highest’ or ‘lowest’. Since I trust the bbbc about as much as a puppy next to a pile of poo, I’d say this was deliberately manipulated to fall into the hands of those who wish to provide a false picture of readership opinion.

    I think that Boris can win through but only by being tough on Brexit and maintaining an electoral pact with TBP . If he does this he can
    a) either succeed in getting substantial concessions from the EU and claiming, hopefully correctly and with Nigel’s approval, that we have left properly. A snap election after a good leave will result ina Tory majority with TBP and DUP support.
    b) or if the EU remains implacable and refuses any concessions or changes, force the Remainers to thwart No Deal and fight the elections on Brexit alone. The shortest possible campaign of three weeks is all that is needed as the issue is well known. Again with TBP pact victory is highly likely.

    The only way Boris can end up losing an election is if he tries to keep Remainers on side and sells out to them by presenting a repackaged May deal.TBP will fight the Tories, splitting the Leave vote, and there will be an overwhelming Remain victory with the Tories being cast into oblivion and Brexit lost. I do not think that TBP can possibly win enough seats to form a government in its own right but it can be decisive in forcing the Tories to deliver a Brexit worthy of the name. Beyond that it may be able to force through some long needed reforms to our political system.

    Boris needs to stick to the Brexit guns if he is to be PM for more than a few months and deliver Brexit.

    Boris is PM! Being called UK Trump. I’m so happy. Never before have I had such joy from politics – it’s like winning the World Cup when you were 5-0 behind and your home supporters are cheering the foreign team.

    When I joined here a year or so ago, the country was an absolute mess and eating itself while China and Japan watched in horror.

    There is talk of a pact with Nigel. Here’s a nice dream to put out there: Nigel as a cabinet minister for immigration!

    Whilst we haven’t stormed Berlin yet, we have Dunkirk-ed ourselves and regrouped our troops and installed Winston’s heir. Boris’s first speech as PM was pretty uplifting and had echoes of “on the beaches…”.

    For me, it;s been the first 2 or 3 days I have talked about the ridiculous open borders policy we have without fear of getting the sack as I end the conversation with “Boris Johnson”. Today, I have a little England flag stuck to my office door!

    Perhaps worth a mention concerning the new leadership of the Liberal Democratic party-This new leader confirmed in the most traiterous way that she would do all she could to STOP Brexit, idiot woman, further she then went on to say after Boris Johnson was elected leader of the Conservative party/ Prime Minister that, he was unworthy of holding the postion of PM-what a traitor-she won’t last long hopefully and NO I am not a member of the LibDems the fiasco of the Coalition with Cameron and Clegg must have turned many Lib Dems away from the party. However we must not underestimate the scale of the crisis the Conservative party faces which is unprecedented in recent decades. We could say that we are about to embark on a new chapter in our nation’s history. To succeed, we will need an economic policy that is as fresh and bold as that of the Thatcher enterprise revolution forty years ago. It has to be said the central insight of Thatcher’s generation was that private enterprise was the engine of our mutual prosperity. In seven years, that administration rescued Britain from being the sick man of Europe and made us the enterprise capital of the world. Once again we
    face such a crisis moment. But the economic challenge this time is different. With a huge post-crash debt legacy, low growth and an economy dependant on cheap labour, we need a new economic growth cycle to raise living standards for all. WE need bold ideas that inspire-I believe Boris has the vision and the Charisma to make it happen. Let us all hope that the traiterous efforts of the BBC et al to undermine our new Prime Ministers advance will be shattered into many pieces with hundreds of BBc resignations. Well we can but hope!

    In case it hasn’t been said, Ezra Levant visited Tommy Robinson yesterday. He’s in good physical and mental health but has been in solitary confinement and hasn’t had contact with any of the other prisoners. So, the report that he was assaulted is a lie; but it’s the rats in the MSM reporting it, so it’s no surprise.
    Amazingly, he’s able to converse with Julian Assange by shouting to each other.

    Here’s a short 3 min report from Ezra:

    Yesterday while awaiting a pint to be poured I saw the pub’s television and ” talking heads ” spouting forth in Westminster.
    In the background were loads of EU flags .
    Only on the BBC .
    Actually we should feel sorry for remainers . We can go into any discount shop and get loads of English/ Welsh / Scottish flags and other paraphernalia but never any EU flags . Who but a multinational or EUro zealot ever flies the ring of stars ?

        Cane,

        Agree.

        While I’m here. Did anyone else notice the guy outside parliament with the unusual flag he had?. Why do I point his flag out and not the others?

        Simple, this guy had clearly “printed directly over the Union Flag except for about 4 inches at the top where we could see the Union colours. Clearly, he had bought or borrowed a Union Flag then off to his screen printer friends to ink out 90% of the Union Flag by being over laid with the stars and blue background EU design.

        His actions tell us much about the remainers. Destroy any reminder of the Union Flag. Paint over it to make way for the yellow stars.

        Very devious.

    Programmes (Political Bias)

    HC Deb 14 May 1958 vol 588 cc391-4

    Mr. H. Morrison

    Could the hon. Gentleman inquire into an apparent element of bias, which may be political or not? Could he inquire why it is that the B.B.C. assumes that nobody without a university education has any brains, and that normally nobody without a university education can appear on the Brains Trust? Will he try to stop this snobbish bias against people, like many of us on this side of the House, who have only 394 had an elementary education and are proud of it?

    They’re also hopelessly bad at asking questions too, Naga is nearly the worst I’ve ever heard, or unfortunately used to watch, when I had to get up to go to work!

      Johnson is as supine cowardly and useless as any other Tory, post the BBC leadership debate mess when the whole media turned on the BBC for its bias Johson was trembling in his shoes too scared to speak out against them.
      It’s part of a long running record of expediency spinelessness and incomptence, then there are the issues of corruption regarding Iran.

      I don’t hold out any hope at all for Johnson being any better than the Marxist he is replacing, that’s if he can manage to hold his hate filled diverse party together long enough to actually do anything he might like to do.

      I give him six months before the hard line socialists in his party vote no confidence, then hopefully we can have a Labour government which will do the things they failed to and punish the awful tories backers.

      The BBC is busily advertising for the Remain campaign overly this afternoon . They have a helicopter over Buck house doing the kissing of Hans pantomime .

      The camera on the helicopter is showing a huge poster – about the size of a tennis court -being held out be a group of Soros funded bots.

      The poster has words to the effect of “ let the people decide “ in that they want another vote to get it right next time – to remain – that is .

      The shouting and the EU flags outside parliament which feature in every broadcast from there is a well financed desperate campaign to Remain .

      A neutral broadcaster would not had left the camera on the buck house poster for over a minute . But if course the EUBBC is not neutral and never was .

      Fortunately all the shouting and flags are just desperation and will fail .

They could also stage the interviews elsewhere to avoid him.
        I am sure if he were shouting ” Get rid of Jeremy Corbyn” he would have been removed long ago.

      Did anyone hear Mathew (Lefty) Wright, today on Talk Radio, alleging that the “Stop Brexit” guy had been assaulted by (quote) “a load of far right Tommy Robinson supporters”, who apparently broke his pole and his banners “causing over £1000 worth of damage”. I’m not sure if there was any substance to his allegations, but if those “banners and poles” cost him £1000, then 1) he was ripped off and 2) he must have bought them with benefits as he clearly doesn’t work.
      In any case it would seem that Mathew thinks that anyone who voted Brexit must be far right and in support of Tommy Robinson. Clearly an attempt to vilify the Brexit voters by making the link, despite the fact we all know Tommy has done nothing wrong.
