    “Brexit: Hammond demands ‘genuine’ negotiations with EU”

    So weren’t they genuine when he was in the government ?
    Is he a Remainer at heart like most of parliament?
    The people have voted to Leave.

      Exactly taffman-the Withdrawal Agreement was voted down three times by parliament I believe, therefore what deal does this Hammond person think can be acceptable to the UK? The EU representatives have made it quite plain recently that the WA is not up for negotiation-End of. Those in our parlaiment that are under the impression that they can thwart the majority with their demands for the UK NOT to leave without a deal are in cooko000000 land.
      What is the necessary course for getting rid of the awful dangerous individual who is currently the Speaker?

        Tarien,
        At some stage the MP’s in the Remain camp will attend Parliament to object en masse to the ‘No Deal’ scenario. If any mass protests are intended by, ‘our side’ at that time, I think that swarming the MP’s residence at the time they (attempt to) leave for Parliament would have the appropriate effect. If enough numbers could be raised, the police will not be able to cope with the number of localised ‘protests’. If ER can get organised enough to cause, ‘flash’ protests surely the Leave campaign can for a valid campaign?

      If the government cared about climate change, they would encourage working from home to save on petrol. This would also mean less offices are needed and that would save energy on heating those offices, and empty offices could be re-purposed as homes. But cutting fuel usage would hurt big oil and gas business’s, and empty offices would mean a drop in property prices that would impact property owners like Tony Blair.

      The government would also give tax breaks to companies for supplying company bus transport, they would stop mass immigration which cause untold traffic and pressure to build more infrastructure. But buses would cost companies money, and stopping mass immigration would mean wages would rise, both of these would impact big business profits.

      The government could also get companies to stagger starting times, so that everyone isn’t trying to get to work for 9am…. They would cut stamp duty for people moving closer to work, and encourage companies to geographically spread out instead of being crammed together…. but staggering start times would inconvenience big business, and spreading business location that would lower property prices which need to be high to prop up the banks.

      … and of course they would ban the BBC, that organization that generates and wastes so much hot air… and they would collect all teh bull-s*** that the BBC creates and use that for methane production… but that would impact the quality of life of the safe space islamo-philic wackos at the BBC.

      Instead of all of the above obvious ideas, the government promotes “carbon credits” which are given free to big business, while forcing new and potential efficient businesses to pay pay for carbon credits, so burdening them with extra costs… and of course the carbon credits are all traded on the stock market to benefit big finance.

      I wonder if the BBC will ever spot the glaring inconsistencies and lies of the government on these issues? or maybe its not in the BBC’s interest to notice these things, since they need the government to force the citizens of the UK to give them money under threat of fines and even prison for their rancid propaganda.

        I like many others used to get a later emptier train , because the old rules meant its time of arrival in manchester meant it was off peak

        but the new rules mean its time of departure is used and any off peak ticket cant return home between 4pm and 7pm

        hence I cram on with everyone else , Northern fails new rules mean the peak time trains are now massively cramped.

        Northern fail knew this would happen they just wanted more people paying for the more EXPENSIVE peak services

      10pm BBC1 news on Tuesday night a longish (or so it felt] item on Greta’s trip to America. She is going on this special boat and seeing it made me wonder how much energy and CO2 emissions it took to build it. But the thing I noticed most was the final comment. Something to the effect that Greta’s organisers have yet to decide how she would return. So even the BBC had to admit there are people manipulating Greta. The BBC seems incapable of asking who. But it is a start.

        I see that the major of NY is setting a fund up to have a Statute of Saint Greta-of-the-universe erected alongside The Statue of Liberty – only, larger.

        And I also hear that Greta is annoyed that her statue will be the same shade of Green but in matt and not shiny as she wanted to have the sun reflect off her statue so the spacemen can see it.

    The Aussie poliice aren’t classifying the knife attacks in Sydney as terrorism. Appenetly the perpetrator was known to them and had a history of mental issues. The attack was also nothing to do with Islam despite him bawling Alan’s Snackbar at the top of his voice. One thing that I can agree with the Sydney police on is that if anyone goes around shouting Alan’s snackbar they certainly do have mental issues and ought to be sectioned and removed. The world would be a much safer and happier place if this was applied universally.

      The Times has a weird way of reporting the Sydney attack

      The man has a history of mental illness and is suspected of attempting to stab other people while yelling “Allahu akbar,”
      but then at the end says he had a USB drive with massacres carried out by white supremacists.

      Thats like giving us the takeaway he’s a white supremacist.
      His name had already been released
      Mert Ney was the middle of three siblings and the son of Turkish-Cypriot parents

      Credible claims that he’d come out of mental care
      So not looking like pure ISIS terrorist.

    Two ads banned for gender stereotypes

    TV advertisements for Philadelphia cheese and Volkswagen are the first to be banned under new UK gender stereotyping rules. A ban on ads featuring “harmful gender stereotypes” or those likely to cause “serious or widespread offence” came into force in June . The first banned ad, for Philadelphia, showed two fathers leaving a baby on a restaurant conveyor belt. The VW ad showed men being adventurous while a woman sat by a pram.

    ***

    Two men…. ‘being adventurous’. The swine. Now if there were two in bouffants either side of a woman bravely reading an autocue, they could command at least a mill between them.

            I’ve despaired of the Yuni system for the past 25-30 years. It was supposed to be a level of education, where those who were more academically minded would go on to be in professions which would be of benefit to the rest of us i.e. doctors/lawyers/teachers/scientists et al. And up until a couple of decades ago, that’s what was happening.

            Now, we have mickey mouse degrees in tv soaps, and where media studies is the easier option to study; I know of someone in an accountants office who gained his degree in Egyptology !!! and made all the easier because A levels have been dished out like Maltesers in senior schools.

            I’m aware that parents will say their kids study hard, and because of the pressure a lot has suffered with mental health issues in stressing to get the grades necessary.

            How the hell did we cope in the 50’s and 60’s then ? Studying and sitting exams without any technology and living full time in Libraries. Forgive me, but in order to be accepted into Yuni you had to be of practically genius intelligence ! hardly that now. And because they could cope with academia, mental health issues were barely on the scale.

            I have a niece who went to Durham and became a deputy head – now ‘retired’ after having twins. A nephew who gained his degree in Brighton and is a civil engineer – on his way to Chartership. Both smart in their own ways, but all round intelligence ? nope. I didn’t get to Yuni, but like many of my friends in the 50s amd 60s, was in the A stream throughout my schooling, and I wager that our level of intelligence in that time would have put us straight through to Yuni in these times !

              Useless John Major’s government decided to turn polytechnics into universities. It was a terrible idea, because polys had a different and valid ethos, they were for more practical based courses, rather than places for more advanced research, which were the universities.

              With the difference eliminated, the ex-polys simply turned into second rate universities. It was very sad, and one of the many mistakes of that terrible government.

              Blair’s government then came up with the mad idea that 50% of school leavers should go to “uni”. That meant that the old system of university grants could not continue, and has led to the present system where three years at “uni” leaves you with a £50,000 debt. In most cases, I doubt it is worth it.

              We had a good system of universities and polys, and it was destroyed in a few years by two rotten governments.

              And politicians wonder why we hate them!

        Angela was asked on the Today programme this morning how she would stop offers for university places being on predicted grades and wait for actual grades. Her response to John was that she would consult with the universities. She later repeated this – it was the only thing she could suggest – she hadn’t a ‘bl***y’ clue how she was going to implement it (if she ever gets the chance). She only had the soundbite re ‘social justice’ and the BBC was willing to give her a platform.

        The former chancellor interviewed after being sacked . The Red Tories could bare the blame of having a traitor PM and Chancellor in change of the Government at the time we are to leave the EU and we are living with the consequences .

        The above paragraph isn’t directly about BBC bias but Tourette’s Robinson didn’t display his aggressive habit of interrupting interviewees when interviewing Traitor Hammond for about 15 minutes .

        At the end of the interview Toady moved straight onto another subject – no BBC type doing their dumb dumb interpretation of what had just been said . Nor did they dig up their biased joke ‘ fact checker ‘

        In fact Hammond was just allowed to say his traitor thing and was never pushed because what he says – the Biased BBC supports .

        Disgusting .

        The recent result of the EU election and the ascendency of The Brexit Party was not mentioned by either traitor .

One just hopes that those opposing MP’s to leaving without a deal really know what they are doing as most will not be returned with a seat next time. Furthermore the EU have stated that there will be no movement on any further negotiation against the WA’s already on the table.

      I’m not sure about that. The people who work in nail bars all seem to be Vietnamese immigrants, and in my locality dozens of Turkish barber shops have sprung up in the past two years. I have heard from a contact who is in the police that they reckon they are fronts for money laundering, but there is no political will to do anything about them. Don’t want to be accused of racism do we? Why am I not surprised?

        It is a sad reflection on our times that nonsense spouted by a sixteen year old is given credence by politicians and the media. We live in an age when myths , lies , fairy stories and scaremongering ‘ projections’ are more powerful than facts . Even in science objectivity is no longer a virtue. Truth has lost its importance and it’s meaning , not just in climate change but in immigration , terrorism and most other important issues. Democracy is under threat from those who claim to be its defenders , such as the new leader of the Lib Dem’s in the UK . The West is being invaded and it’s crazy leaders are promoting this invasion rather than resisting it. Indeed they are suppressing any opposition to it and ramping up the oppression of their own people. The world has been turned upside down within the past thirty years.

          It proves that these middle-class left-wing thugs have reverted to exploiting the ignorance of innocent Children, who are unable to challenge the crap, until they can think for themselves. Its those school kids who leave school with an A level in Physics who have the advantages necessary to challenge these morons. Some eventually become Professors of Atmospheric Physics under siege from ignorant school teachers, politicians, environmental activists and journalists. So keep quiet until they retire. They then join the GWPF Academic Advisory Council to speak up against those 24 environmental activists at the BBC, pretending to be the “best scientific experts“. But then the BBC fights back, accusing these 18 Professors, (censored by the BBC) that they are “Deniers”. But these Professors deny that they are denying that the Climate changes, only denying the cause and the problems. But again the BBC censors what these Professors are saying, because Greta knows best. Greta is trying to tell the World that the BBC’s “best scientific experts” are saying that “To do your best is no longer good enough” so “Panic”

          But the BBC wont provide you with any evidence that a call to “Panic” derives from anyone with a PhD in Atmospheric Physics. This is why you don’t actually see any causational or attribution climate scientists on the BBC. The scientists wont agree to spread the BBC,s “Fake News” by saying what the BBC wants them to say. So Greta does it for them.

          Scientists think that Greta’s aberrations are mostly psychological in origin, but I recommend an exorcism should be performed by a priest who does not believe in the climate change religion. Advice on what to do can be found in a book called “The Exorcist” by William Peter Blatty.

    I noticed on the news last night that beeb had ‘imported’ South African Phumzile Felani to give us the low down on NI. She exploited her South African credentials to compare the ‘successful’ resolution in SA to the terrible divisions existing in NI.
    Bit of bbc stirring, probably connected to ‘no-deal’, without actually saying so. (Good Friday peace agreement at risk and all that…)
    What she did not say is that many Whites are leaving SA because of high crime and violence (as are many Blacks), the collapse of the economy, due to ANC corruption and misgovernment, and that one party had ultimately surrendered and simply handed over power to the other. The country is -sadly- using Zimbabwe as its template, and going down the tubes.
    There is a lesson there for NI, but I don’t think its the one Phumzile (almost certainly ANC) and the bbc (great ANC lovers) want to get across!

        Angolan autocrat’s daughter Isabel dos Santos, 46, with ‘£1.91bn fortune’ is revealed as owner of £13m Kensington home at centre of fury over plans to demolish it and build four-storey ‘iceberg’ mansion

        The revelation, unearthed by Finance Uncovered, that she owns the luxury home is likely to stoke widespread concerns about the origin of Mrs dos Santos’ wealth.

        Despite presenting herself as a self-made entrepreneur who rubs shoulders with the A-list elite, opponents have described her as the beneficiary of kleptocracy in Africa.

        The majority of her nearly £2billion wealth was amassed while her father Jose Eduardo, 76, served as ruler of Angola for 38 years

        ritics of dos Santos claim he murdered many politicians, journalists and others during his spell in power.

        He was also accused of monopolizing and exploiting oil and diamond resources and seizing control of almost all aspects of government power.

        Critics further claim his daughter Isabel acquired her own fortune by using her family’s power to take stakes in firms doing business in Angola, where many people live on as little as $2 a day.

          We may have monopolized and exploited the likes of India and Africa, but we also taught a great deal too. Yet here we are over 100 years later and those countries are still barely out of the ‘mud hut’ mindset. Are those of colour really that thick or less intelligent than white ? Strangely they are not so stupid when it comes to scams and thievery.

          We see railway stations and public buildings in these countries with blue distemper paint peeling from the walls, which clearly haven’t seen a lick of paint for over a century, so is this wholly down to corruption at the top ? and why is this so ? – there is corruption in all governments by why more so in black and brown countries?

          Whites are castigated for sins of the past, but clearly these countries cannot function on their own, as rampant poverty is still ongoing, and appears will never end. They are happy to have the begging bowl out to white and richer countries, but education would be a better option in teaching them how to govern without lining their own pockets.

    Strikingly, the ANC pursued the ‘armed struggle’ strategy together with the ‘sit and talk’. Not entirely dissimilar from the IRA/Sinn Fein!
    It didn’t work until the liberals took over the National Party and handed over power to the ANC.

    LATEST BBC SCAREMONGERING CLIMATE CHANGE LIES.

    Britain is experiencing a cauliflower shortage after extreme weather killed off much of this year’s crops.

    Heavy rainfall in June destroyed crops in Lincolnshire, and alternative European supplies wilted in last month’s heatwave.

    Cauliflower prices have soared and some farmers have suffered financial losses after the destruction of their crops.

    The shortages were described as “very concerning” by a spokesman for the Brassica Growers Association.

    Trust me I have better things to do on my lunch shows no supply issues in either Sainsbury or ASDA for Cauliflower….can someone check TESCO and Waitrose please.

      On Monday I was fortunate to spend four hours with my neighbour’s six year-old. She painted the papier-mache scarecrow head we had made the previous week, made some slime, ‘invented’ slime pictures, (her own idea she said), had a pirate fight with bamboo canes, ‘walked the plank’, transitioned into Mr McGregor versus Peter Rabbit, made a rabbit mask out of a cereal box, made some microwaved doughnuts, etc. Hours of unstructured play, with a little bit of “How about we do it this way”, teaching tricks like folding paper in half to make mirror-image copies.

      Meanwhile her 8 year-old brother is indoors on his X-box and, to the very audible annoyance of his mum, using up his monthly mobile phone allowance in an afternoon. (Apparently X-box useage is controlled remotely via ‘Alexa’).

    Many are wondering if this is a spoof, but the BBC has done the same, and more.

    Tories collaborators and quislings are undermining our negotiators. What motivates them ?
    They are doing the EU’s dirty work for them.
    Will Al Beeb call them out in the interest of the people of Great Britain ?

    BBC TV News at 7 pm today stated that the earliest possible date for a General Election is 31st October.

    Interesting, and Boris has some latitude as to the date. Looks like it will be an Election after Brexit. Would that decimate The Brexit Party vote?

      If Boris , Tory Leavers, The Brexit Party and UKIP know what’s good for them and the survival of our nation, they would best form a coalition.
      The one thing that unites them is Britain’s Freedom and Democracy.
      To Leave the EU.

        Once I hoped for this.
        Yes, they all want out of the EU.
        But protecting Britain’s freedom and democracy is incompatible with a government that is doing nothing to protect the victims of the rape gangs, control illegal immigration and address the problems with a media that denigrates TR and those who want to roll back the power of Islam.
        Come on Boris and Priti, make a couple of phone calls and set TR free for starters.

      And it seems we must still beware of an attempt to implement any part of the ‘Political Declaration’ …

      The planned agreement outlined in the Political Declaration negotiated by Theresa May is seriously flawed and defective. Even if there is an exit on 31 October without an agreement with the EU, we may quickly enter a phase of post-exit negotiations about our future relationship. It is essential that the UK should enter that phase with sound proposals which will mean that an agreement with the EU does not compromise our autonomy or our ability to conduct our own independent global trade policy.

      Not to mention the Defence tie-ups created and entered into since 2016.
