      davy, thanks . . . . . but have the BBC read it and understood it and incorporated it into their coverage of Greta’s departure?

      No?

      I thought not.

            Isn’t it a pethetic state of affairs when a few state-funded ‘broadcasters’ think that some silly, pretentious little git squeaks something about issues she’s too young to understand, and then the said ‘broadcasters’ plonk it on the airwaves as if it were gospel!

            Luckily the pic of the idiotic Milibeand staring at her with rather strange eyes made the whole shebang a total fiasco, but then, the bbbc love fiascos, as they falsely create them, then send some sort of air-head journo to ‘report’.

            The tack of getting thick bbbc reporters to interview their own bbbc sub-class is just hilarious, they always fail on all points!

    Typical BBC (behind.prone.plug) in a piece about the What3words app:

    “Humberside Police also used the system to find a group of foreign nationals, including a pregnant woman in labour, who were trapped inside a shipping container at a port.”

    I expect she was looking for Asda and accidently walked into a container and the wind blew the door shut. It happens all the time to me too.

    Loved Banks’ tweet about freak accidents and I am looking forward to all the responses from the demented left. (Their outrage gives me a warm feeling.) I know it was a joke, and I wouldn’t want a mentally ill child of 16 to drown, but a part of me would love to see the boat sink. Everyone saved, of course. Although, I do wonder if Greta would want to be saved by a carbon-belching ship. I can see her now, as a last act of eco-martyrdom, refusing the entreaties of her rescuers and heroically going down with the boat. (Another warm feeling.)

    New footage from the lone wolf / mental health cutlery incident in Sydney a couple of days ago.

    MSM have been falling over themselves to hide the obvious — the Guardian in particular was Grade A apologetics: “Some witnesses reported that the man had shouted “Allahu Akbar”. Police said they were aware of the reports but had not ‘captured that as an evidentiary base’. Some observers said the man’s pronunciation suggested he was unfamiliar with the phrase.”

    Unfamiliar with the phrase… maybe he was lied to, it was the Russians and he didn’t know what he was stabbing for.

    Chicken boxes featuring warnings about the dangers of carrying a knife have been sent to takeaways in England and Wales as part of a government campaign.

    Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott said the plan was “crude” and “offensive”

    Perhaps Ms Abbott – ever mindful mindful we don’t unfairly target certain communities – would suggest we taxpayers fund anti-knife crime posters to go up in the refectory at Eton – or at whatever fee school it is her off-spring attend?

        Often one might give state agencies the benefit of the doubt through just being incompetent . But with TR I’m sure , that since the State has decided it will silence him , whatever is done is planned .

        So withholding mail , cancelling visits , moving him suddenly ( coming soon ) are just those issues designed to disable or demotivate him and his family or supporters .

        It might be assumed that they’d try to get TR to either break down or break a prison rule in order to inflict further punishment .
        I wrote a list of reasons for cancellation. I take no pleasure in being right .

        I’d be surprised if this lady gets to see TR on Friday …….. but let’s hope it happens .

        I’d like to know if there is an Appeal , it guess there isn’t as it should have gone forward by now ….. 5 weeks on? 4 to go – and he won’t be coming out any time shorter than that .

        We all know – when the state wants to be officious without using physical force it can be really good at it …..

          Fed,
          Personally, I can only see the state in all its guises and its blow-hard mouthpiece, the BBC, as having already arrived at the position where most objective folk see all as totally evil. And they know it. It is only a matter of time before legislation arrives which completely abolishes and renders illegal any form of criticism. Problem is, most people are sleep walking to that point.

          When TR gets out of jail, if he does, my advice to him is to leave the uk for Poland or similar and to lead the struggle for Britain from a safe place. If he stays here , even he keeps quiet, which of course knowing him he won’t, the state will get him either directly or more likely by using a proxy.

    BBC report –

    A man has been stabbed outside the Home Office building in central London.

    The victim’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said.

    Officers were called to the building in Marsham Street, near the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, at 13:06 BST. A MAN was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

    The wounded man went into the building to seek assistance. The building is now in lockdown.

    Eyewitness Gareth Milner said he was outside the Home Office when “a number of armed police officers arrived on scene and entered the building”.

    ……………………

    This line confirms what we all know –
    A man was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

    “”Karar Ali Karar stabbed 21-year-old Jodi Miller 15 times at a house on Milan Road, Harehills, Leeds, on 25 February to “teach her a lesson”.””

    “”The attack lasted approximately three minutes….””

    “”Her death was not immediate and she was able to say she knew she was dying. Her suffering and terror can only be imagined.””

    “”Mitigating, Simon Kealey QC said Karar fled to the UK seeking asylum from Sudan in 2015.””

    “”Mr Kealey said: “He simply fell in with the wrong crowd taking drugs and alcohol and these people took advantage of his mental health.” “”

    “”But sentencing, Judge Jameson said “there was no evidence” of Karar’s mental health being an issue at the time of Miss Miller’s murder.””

    Watching the BBC’s desperate antics over Brexit reminds me of a fleeing man trying to cross a swollen river by jumping from one floating log to the next.

    We have had an endless stream of maybe it can be stopped campaigns from them. They have now resorted to pinning their hopes on Corbyn despite the fact that many expected players in parliament are already putting water between them and Corbyn.

    Beginning to think that Corbyn has realised that he will never be voted into the top job so it’s worth having a rash go at being a caretaker PM just for his CV and posterity.

    The last paragraph above is certainly one of the most Biased anti-Trump reports by the BBC. And that’s saying something!!

    Trump did NOT tell them to go back. He told them to go back, try and fix their own basket case countries rather than criticise the US, and then return.

    Well done, Mr Trump. 🙂

    2. “Asylum seeker, 29, who said he was fleeing political persecution in Sudan, is jailed for life for stabbing 21-year-old woman 15 times in drug fuelled attack because she refused to have sex”.

    Great Brexit News! (Not on the BBC of course).

    Courtesy of Guido-Fawkes site.

    The EU’s trade relations with South-East Asian powerhouse Indonesia have come under renewed strain with Indonesia preparing to slap a 20-25% tariff on dairy products from the EU in response to the EU whacking 8-18% tariffs on Indonesian biodiesel. How dair-EU!

    Indonesia’s population of 260 million is over half the size of the entire EU, it’s currently the 16th largest economy in the world and growing at a pacey 5% a year. Indonesia’s trade minister is so cheesed off he’s ordered dairy importers to find new suppliers outside the EU. Indonesia is the fifth largest non-EU importer of dairy products in the world so this is no trifling matter.

    After Liz Truss’s big cheese push at DEFRA, it just so happens that the UK will in a matter of weeks be the third largest non-EU exporter of dairy products in the world, and is about to regain control of its own tariff schedules, putting it in pole position to cream off the the EU’s market share. Brits get cheap biodiesel and textiles, while Indonesians will get top-quality Cheddar, Stilton, Yarg, Brie, Wensleydale and clotted cream. Perfect!

    Retired bank manager gets his 100th ‘intimidating’ letter from TV Licensing even though he hasn’t owned a telly since 1997

    Retired bank manager Derek Cheesbrough dropped TV 22 years ago in 1997
    Since binning the box, he has received a monthly letter saying he’s a lawbreaker
    The pensioner has just received his 100th letter demanding he pay for his TV

    He previously hit the headlines when he received his 50th letter, which prompted some people to get in touch.

    ‘I had letters from a 92-year-old blind woman from Cornwall, and a 72-year-old living on the moors with no TV reception,’ he said.

    One interesting anonymous comment on the above article in the Mail:

    There are some people calling for the privatisation of the BBC – however it is a little known fact that the BBC was hollowed out and privatised over 10 years ago. BBC Broadcast was sold to Australian-based Macquarie Capital Alliance Group and Macquarie Bank Limited in 2005 and re-branded Red Bee Media. Its IT, telephony and broadcast technology were sold to Siemens IT Solutions and Services and are now owned by (the infamous) ATOS! BBC Books were sold to Random House in 2006. BBC Outside Broadcasts Ltd was sold in 2008 to Satellite Information Services. The BBC archive is now owned by Getty Images. BBC Magazines were sold to Immediate Media Company in 2011. I could go on but you get the picture. Every profitable part of the BBC has been sold off.

    Just finished watching latest episode of Inside the Factory. It’s on the BBC, and features Greg Wallace, and two females, one of which is mega woke. This episode was making Croissants, at a factory in France. Apparently, the curved croissants use vegetable oil, but the straight croissants use butter. The eventual product had 18 layers of dough, with 17 layers of butter. Baking took over 6 hours. But the butter was a very concentrated product, completely different from the supermarket version. And it was made at a factory in England, using English Milk, and English expertise, before export to France. So, after 31/10, I look forward to Macron explaining why the all butter croissant may have production problems. But the problem was ignored by the BBC.

            Agree with all your comments Annunaki: The influx of Muslims over the past twenty five years and more has and is causing a complete destabilization of the whole of Europe and of its territories. Britain added fire to the Islamic surge when it appointed a Muslim to the post of Home Secretary-what can one call such measures as completely incomprehensible and now that same person is Chancellor of the Exchequer number 2 next to the Prime Minister-incomprehensible in view of what such Islamics think of Christians.
            The massive financial power of the Traffickers gained from the money they accumulate from the migrants and other areas is able to facilitate the movement of Muslim peoples throughout Europe and elsewhere, and will seemingly continue on its course unabated. The unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants into Europe, mainly from the Islamic world including Africa, Middle East, and Indian sub-continent has and is continuing to create international headlines.
            A report from 2013 predicted that sub-Saharan Africa would record the largest population growth at least until the year 2050. The world’s poorest region, will more than double in population, from 1.1 billion to 2.4 billion. The current population of the entire European Union is just over 500 million people. It is estimated that Africa’s population will grow by more than twice that much, in less than two generations. Where are these people supposed to live? Will they have water, food and work at home. Those questions should be squarely aimed at those countries leaders.
            With such gowth in population over the next 30 years or so throughout will mean that what we have seen so far is only the beginning. Even the EU and the UN are gradually admitting this. The current migration flows of Muslims and of African people generally will represent a long-term trend, not a temporary crisis. If these hordes of illegal immigrants are not stopped and sent back, this could cause European societies to collapse.
            Result is that the UK will have more trouble on its streets as I cannot see it clsoing the doors to all immigration from such nations mentioned. One more point concerning the Muslim male and women which accounts for the way they behave. When a Muslim man marries, he only marries a woman’s sex organs — she is no more worth to him than a goat or a rug. A Muslim man is taught, and believes, that a woman is only on the earth for two reasons —to bear children and to provide her husband with ecstasy. Other than that she has no use. So these young healthy males will help themselves to any female of any age that they can get their hands on, and nothing will be done to punish them — their excuse is always that Allah approves of rape and they are pleasing their god and worshipping him by doing it. And the Western Dhimmis believe them and let them practice “their” religion with impunity. Deportation is perhaps the only way, such a Norway currently treat those they don’t want.

          One community is pushing for changes in the law so that we are not even allowed to discuss the religion that which thinks it is OK to wrap their women up in black bedsheets, kill non believers, apostates, sexually abuse non believers, chuck gays off buildings whilst at the same time time complaining it is a victim of “waycism” Whilst the other community just gets on with their lives.

          So what side would any responsible honest, sensible and mature state broadcaster take on this – yep you guessed it the side that believes it is OK to wrap their women up in black bedsheets, kill non believers, apostates, sexually abuse non believers, chuck gays off buildings whilst at the same time time complaining it is a victim of “waycism”

    The Remainers and the BBC are fighting their cause based upon their hatred of Leavers and nothing to do with the advantages of remaining in the EU.

    Remainers see the battle as one against Leavers, who they regard as racist, nationalistic, dim and uneducated. A ‘friend’ of mine is a Remainer and he regards all lorry drivers to be the cause of the Brexit vote in 2016! He hates all lorry drivers now. He’s even hinted that the Democratic vote shouldn’t be shared with stupid people!

    And he can’t give a single cogent reason for staying in the EU.

Ever since Mugabe stepped down, hardly any attention has been given to Zim. and the tyrannical and incompetent Managagwa government. Now suddenly, beeb and Toady are saying: ‘protestors’ will risk their lives by leaving home, cos 12 were recently shot. 6 have ‘disappeared’.
    Toady is incredulous that their interviewee, opposition politician Nelson Chimiza, calls Manangagwa ‘worse’ than Mugabe. Toady feels it’s OK to sign off after a very short interview. No attempt to contact Zim government and hold them to account. No sign of any outrage or shock at the beeb. To say the coverage is poor, is to pay Toady a compliment.
    1% of the time devoted to Hong Kong?
    Of course, this is Africa. Britain wanted NIBMAR leading up to 1980, and -once that had happened- Zimbabwe could fade from interest. Once Whitey had been disposed of, the job was done. The country was destroyed by its looting leadership. The same is developing in South Africa – no coverage at all.
    The massive N Korean backed massacre in Matabeleland under Mugabe received little attention. Too embarrassing.

The £9 million pound leaflet, the punishment budget, the promised house price slump etc etc. Its all about the Bus for them (which has now been proved correct in the courts).

    Gary says “it was only advisory”. Well Gary, you can bet your bottom dollar if it was 52-48 in favour of Remain you wouldn’t think it was only advisory would you ? And you can also be sure that 52-48 to Remain would have meant a “solid” mandate to Remain for the Remainiacs where as 52-48 in favour of Leave shows splits and division in the country .

      Beeb last night discussed ‘tensions’ between ‘Pakistani’ and ‘Indian’ communities over Kashmir in Birmingham! Shop boycotts and all that.
      The spokespersons for the communities did say that what happened thousands of miles away shouldn’t affect the two communities in the UK.
      But it was clear that it did. It was also clear that the speakers frequently identified themselves with their Asian ‘homelands’ as much as with Britain. You don’t boycott shops if you feel indifferent.
      Trouble brewing between India and Pakistan?
      That some of it should be set in the UK is astonishing, and tells a tale of its own. A little surprising: none of those interviewed said they were primarily British, and therefore weren’t that interested that they should start initiating boycotts against ‘the other side’ or get carried away over the issue.

    Note that the BBBC referred to a “simultaneous failure of two power stations” as the root cause of last weeks’ widespread power outages on R4 news this morning. And that the failure was likely due to a “lack of investment”. There in that one short piece you have evidence of the BBBC’s now shameless distortion, fake news generation and censorship by omission. One ‘power station’ was gas fired. The other was. . . a wind farm. Like certain ‘communities’, wind farms are exempt from being seen to fail in Beeb world.

      No mentioning of shutting coal stations causing a stress in power supply for the foreseeable future ..

        Fedup – we’re lucky we didn’t have Merkel having a say over our power supplies before the referendum result. She closed down all German nuclear power stations overnight after Fukushima, causing Germany major supply problems. With ‘ever closer and deeper Union’, that possibility -eventually- is not as weird as it sounds. We’re getting out in the nick of time.
        Another genius move from the woman who brought them open borders and mass migration from Africa and the Middle east, i. a.
        Seems no one dared tell her Germany was not in an earthquake zone. Looking at history, there seems to be a pattern here?

      If the BBC listened to their own shows they might be better informed – last night I listened to the only good 90 mins of R4 while driving ..and one bit was talking to an engineer about what happened – he knew his stuff..and not once did he say it was due to lack of investment – in fact after his technical explanation he said the investigation was still ongoing..maybe a complaint to BBC

    It’s not often you can listen to a BBC ‘broadcaster’ and think to yourself that this man is a complete imbecile and then he goes and confirms your suspicions by confirming it in writing…

      Yep Vine is a T..t with a capital T…rather than just say this kid is a bloody idiot and should be fined and have his bike taken away, then made to sweep streets he turns it around to slag off car drivers…
      They just can’t bring themselves to condemn their pet cause célèbre – in Vine’s case that’s cyclists – who are all lovely people under constant attack by us bad car drivers

      Cassandra -did you know that if you google ‘ jetemy vine ‘ in Finnish it translates into ‘ off switch ‘?

      In other language translations his name become
      a ‘ rude but useful body orifice ‘…..( not mouth nose or ears …)

    The Swiss ‘Neue Zuericher Zeitung’ is a quality mainstream paper, lately getting much criticism from PC colleagues in Germany, for not toeing the PC line.
    It reports today that in the old East of the country the conservative AfD is likely to get more than 20% of the upcoming vote in 3 Federal states there, and does an analysis of why the former Communist sector is not so keen on Comrade Merkel any more. In fact, it is almost becoming a separate country once again, ever less likely to support the two ‘big’ parties (which are no longer big but rather cunning).
    In part, it says, her style reminds them too much of the late Comrade Honecker of the former GDR.
    In other words, when you’ve seen it all before, you’re that much wiser. The western part of the country slumbers on, not having benefitted from such exposure.

    Not BBC, but Nick Ferrari on LBC this morning making a big song and dance about how ’offensive’ he found Bank’s tweet re Thunberg while, at the same time, having no problem waving through a comment made by a caller advocating ‘Banks should be strung up’.
    Banks comment was obviously a bad joke but I’m not so sure about the caller’s intentions.

      Ferrari has turned into a right shit-stirrer recently. The other day he was trying to make out that because Boris said remainers were collaborating with the EU to stop Brexit, that meant he was calling remainers Collaborators.

      I turned over to TalkRADIO in the car, only to get a horrible shock on the way home when Gavin Esler popped up as presenter.
