Midweek Thread 11 September 2019

Another anniversary of that World Changing day.RIP
Meanwhile it’s 33 days until Parliament returns and 51 days until the UK leaves the EU .

Will the biased Far Left BBC continue to fight brexit ? will it go into collective mourning if it looks like we are really going ? Will more so called journalists lose the plot ?

    Well it looks like the BBC’s smear campaign against Boris has worked. Labour are picking up in the polls due to Corbyn being portrayed as a hero. Labour will win the next GE. Tory vote split and a second referendum and more Brexit delays will lead to withdrawal of of article 50.

    This is the end of Brexit. The BBC will get what they want. Labour will be in power with the Lib Dem’s. Expect. Soft socialism at the very least. Our country is finished.

    Corbyn and the remainers scam to trap the PM has worked and there is nothing we can do about it. Will Johnson accept a Brino? Does he even have a choice? Doesn’t matter anyway he has no choice. Corbyn is the one with power and is the chosen one. The BBC have officially endorsed Labour as the party of Britain or what is left of it.

    A very sad time for this country but we just don’t have the numbers on our side. I think that Johnson has our best interests at heart but he was stabbed in the back from day one.

    We have lost. These are very sad times but I guess I will have to accept the result. Brexit was never meant to happen. Better accept it and move on rather than be like those remainers have been the past two years.

      I understand your pessimism- I am by nature a pessimist so no pep talk from me . I believed the original referendum votes would be fixed and was proved wrong .

      Brexit is obviously in peril as all the opposition parties have lined up using the fatal Fixed Term Parliament Act as a weapon.
      The only thing on our side is the clock ticking down .

      I’m not sure how the council of ministers will play out on 17? October . Assuming Boris is still PM it will either be –

      No deal brexit on 31st October
      Repeal of A50 by the traitors the day after by Act using Bercow
      Request for extension again
      Some sort of deal which really means we stay in – paying without a say .

      The outcome of an extension request will only be granted if the EU benefits . If they are getting Fedup with the UK then they might just say ‘goodbye ‘ they know there is no prospect of an election for 2 years or more . Even the most thick EU Crat must know there is a disconnect between parliament and voters and there will be a reckoning . – see Euro Elections .

      Maybe Brexit will take longer – a withdrawal of A50 and then a further attempt when the traitors are thrown out of parliament .
      Not a happy story .

        I do not wish to put people on a downer but there is no point in pretending that we are the winners all the time. We are being set up to lose. There is still support for Brexit but no in Parliament. It does not matter who is in Downing Street at the moment as they will still not have the numbers.

        It was a cruel stunt by Labour and the Lib Dem’s but they have the media on their side. The BBC have got what they want. Brexit support week and remain strong.

        This time next year we might still be in the EU and with Corbyn as PM. I would not be just disappointed but actually terrified. Who knows what more stunts he will pull?

        Of course it is not over yet. We do have time and a lot can happen. At the very least Parliament is prorogued. The worst has happened so far. Let’s hope for a change in direction

        My view is that a Remainer alliance know that they will lose a GE because of FPTP. They also know that in second referendum they have a better chance of winning. So they will want to seize power , delay Brexit , hold another referendum, make sure that they win it by employing any method necessary and then dump Brexit for good and try to cement our place in the EU. The alliance will then break up and a GE will be held. The questions that occur to me are :
        a) Can this train of events be prevented
        b) Is it possible that the long delayed GE could still yield a Pro Brexit government in a year or so
        c) will those who voted for Brexit in 2016 allow democracy to be trampled in the mud
        d) what will be the long term impact on our democracy if the referendum is betrayed

    ***
    Brexit: Labour’s Watson demands pre-election referendum

    Labour deputy leader Tom Watson is insisting his party must make holding a referendum on Brexit its priority. In a speech, he will say that a general election might not break the current deadlock and that Labour must be “crystal clear” in campaigning for the UK to remain in the EU.

    This puts him at odds with leader Jeremy Corbyn, who wants the party to offer voters both Leave and Remain options. Labour says it wants an election after 31 October, when a no-deal Brexit on that date has been ruled out.

    The BBC asks what people around the UK think about Brexit.

    With Parliament not sitting again until 14 October and the conference season about to begin, we also look at where the main parties stand.

    ***
    What Watson ‘demands’ is of little interest to me.

    What is is how his stock lies after the Carl Beech affair. Other than with the bbc, he is a shot bolt.

    But one is sure the ‘people’ the bbc find to opine will trot out what the bbc likes.

    They still control the edit.

      In the last year there have been more than 200 incidents of hate crimes towards gay and lesbian people reported to West Mercia Police but the number of prosecutions has fallen dramatically.

      If you are a member of the LGBT community have you ever been a victim?

      Is it possible the combination of lax definition and idiot police commitments have led to ‘reports’ leading to attempted prosecutions failing because they are without merit.

      When Owen Jones scratching his tummy in the world’s most unsuccessful gang hit leads bbc headlines for a week, this is a possibility.

    TOADY Watch #1

    BBC going big on relaxation of foreign students’ post-graduation residency rules. Thinking (it is good) but not thinking. No questions asked.

    According to the BBC, we have a housing crisis. We have a NHS & GP provision crisis, the BBC regularly tell us. We have an overburdened road, rail & air transport crisis. We have, according to some – young people, especially as well as the BBC – a Climate Crisis and travel and housing and light & heating and road transport of goods all contribute to it.

    No questions asked about the economics of such a move by the BBC. No questions about the practicalities from the BBC. No BBC questions about the infrastructure needed for an extra rolling population of around a quarter of a million. And most of all, no questions about international travel and the so-called ‘Climate Emergency from the BBC.

    I wonder why?

    On the evidence of this, the BBC cannot be trusted as a news organisation.

        If you have a new-fangled DAB radio , try LBC or talkradio.
        LBC – https://www.lbc.co.uk/ . talkradio – https://talkradio.co.uk/

        Presenters are allowed to display their own opinions and political views. NIgel Farage has a program on LBC (6pm to 7pm Mon – Thur and Sunday 10am till 12). Once hooked you will not go back to the depressing, dull and very annoying BBC.

      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/1340578/BBC-says-sorry-to-tearful-US-envoy.html

      “THE BBC apologised yesterday for any offence caused by a special edition of Question Time on the terrorist assault on America that left the former United States ambassador to Britain in tears.
      Hundreds of viewers telephoned to complain that anti-American views expressed by the audience did not represent British public opinion. They also accused the BBC of displaying insensitivity by airing the programme so soon after the disaster.
      At one point, Philip Lader, the former American ambassador, who was on the panel, was slow hand clapped by a section of the audience.
      He said with tears in his eyes: “I have to share with you that I find it hurtful that you can suggest that a majority of the world despises the US.”

      I’ve manage to get the YouTube video, it’s over 30 minutes long but Yasmin AliBhai-Brown is there demonstrating through her comments what a truly odious and toxic woman she is.

    I don’t usually watch Newsnight, but I did get in just as the dregs were being played out. And what did I see…
    The Arch Bishop of Canterbury (Justin Welby) prostrating himself in front of a memorial to (yet another) blood soaked British atrocity, somewhere in India.
    He was apologising, again, on our behalf for events that occurred a century ago and lecturing us about how appalling our history was.
    They all do it. Livingstone, Cameron, May and now Welby.
    They travel half way round the world to humiliate our country abroad, while virtue signalling to those at home.
    I actually think this constant condemnation of our past is both damaging and degrading. I’m not defending the massacre, but I am condemning the endless self flagellation. It’s important that we know these events happened, but we seem to be fixated on them. It’s unhealthy.
    Welby has lots of form on these PC issues, either blathering about carbon footprints, waffling about slavery or going on about the evils of empire. The Guardian and The BBC can’t get enough of him.
    When he is in Blighty he’s forever warning us about the perils of a no deal Brexit. Crying out loud man, stick a sock in it!

    TOADY Watch #2 – an alternative (not much!) to Sky News.

    An air of BBC confidence surrounds Tom Watson’s call for Labour to campaign entirely for the UK to remain in the EU. Except Labour do not want a General Election (and voted against the opportunity last week and this) because they know Brexit will be the differentiating identity of Labour, the SNP, the LibDems and the Green MP on one side and the Conservatives, The Brexit Party and UKIP on the other and as pro-EU they might lose.

    Heavily.

    Much as Jeremy Corbyn would like Brexit to go away so that he could be Prime Minister, it is an issue that will boil on and on and the pan will never become empty now, it will never boil dry.

    It is a matter to wonder about: would the MPs in Parliament have refused another Referendum on the EU had Boris Johnson offered it on Monday? I suspect they would. Again, because they might lose.

    No questions asked – at least during my intermittent listening to the Toady programme this am – about this.

There have been utopian and partly totalitarian undecurrents to the EU for years. Those undercurrents have reached the surface. The EU as we have seen increasingly resembles a pan-European tyranny. Massive pressure from illegal immigration in the Mediterranean regions seemingly goes unabated. Hundreds of thousands migrants have crossed illegally in boats to come to Europe-comming from all over the Islamic world-the EU through its actions has encouraged this immigration. Frankly we have to accept that the EU promotes crime and instability which over time has weakened Europe’s cultural and physical defences. The European Union is not about cooperation for protecting the best interests of Europeans; it is about turning the entire continent into a multicultural theme park while the natives get culturally deconstructed and demographically crushed. It now shows the EU as a LARGE SCALE social experiment conducted by hundreds of millions of people. It is not about economics of scale but about stupidity of scale. It corrupts virtually everybody that comes close to it. It cannot be reformed, it can only be dismantled. Knowing that the EU has long constituted a threat to the freedom and prosperity of Europeans, these policies now contitute a direct threat to our lives. So who in their right mind would vote to stay in ? Maybe the BBC would like to move to Brussels.

      They overlook the fact the EU is now EUNation. Both outgoing Presidents said as much during the opening of the new EU Parliament.

        Quite obvious from what I have heard this new woman Von Der Leyen say concerning the UK and Brexit deals, there will be no special favours given by the her of the EU to allow the UK to slip back into the EU-Likely any Labour representative will also be given a short sharp response. In 2016 a referendum was held and a majority vote was given by the voting public to leave-nothing more but to leave-the disgraceful proceedings since 2016 by this nations MP’s has been nothing short of treachery. They should hang their heads in shame, and as for one Leader of the Liberals to have the termerity and impudence to state that they would STOP Bexit. If I were a member of the Liberals I would be down on that leader like a ton of bricks.

      Ah but the Globalist elite are all in favour of supranational organisation and dream of a technocratic unelected world government. They are neither democrats or patriots, infact they despise their own nations. They see the EU as a building block of the future they are committed to. They have been surreptitiously pursuing this dream for decades knowing that until they had indoctrinated cadres of young folks to think correctly they could not openly speak of their future goals. They have busily marched through the institutions and gained control of the MSM, judiciary, education , civil service etc. Brexit has forced them out into the open and their strength is being tested . If they win their position becomes near impregnable , if they lose and we Brexit they will rely on their likeminded colleagues in the EU and elsewhere to force us back in by trying wreck our economy . Democracy and our national indenting is hanging by a thread ..

      How soon is that to be heard ?

      Maybe next week – which is important because we’d have an even bigger constitutional crisis where a court is ordering a government to go back into parliament . But I think that’s a bit too much

        Turns out that the school can claim a massive cash premium for every child so diagnosed, and is thus incentivised to do so, in many cases with tenuous reason.

    . . . . . 2009 Fort Hood shooting …..

    After entering the building, Hasan went to the first desk to the right of the North doors and asked to see Major Parrish. MAJ Parrish worked in the building (and had been assisting Hasan in his deployment preparations). The worker went down the hall to get Parrish. According to eyewitnesses, Hasan had then gone around behind the desk and bowed his head for several seconds when he suddenly stood up, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” and opened fire.[18][19][20] Witnesses said Hasan initially “sprayed bullets at soldiers in a fanlike motion” before taking aim at individual soldiers.[21] Eyewitness SGT Michael Davis said: “The rate of fire was pretty much constant shooting. When I initially heard it, it sounded like an M16.”[22]

        Much as I would like to believe otherwise, I think your ‘taking to the streets’ will be a pointless gesture unless others are suitably inflamed, and do the same. My experience is that they won’t bother, in any numbers, if at all. This Brexit show will slowly die a death, and things will continue as before, with the comfortable electorate going about their business as usual, and unwilling to participate in yet another election, the result of which will make little difference to anyone.

        A Labour government (or coalition) will take the reins, for a while, whilst the country continues to descend into the abyss, probably at an enhanced rate. The EU will remain in overall control, until such time as it, itself, collapses – which cannot be far off.

          Labour are on the cards. They have been pushing and pushing and will not stop until they win. To them Brexit is a game and a tool to get into power.

          I expect that the polls are picking up on the response to the pro Corbyn bias. By the end of next week Labour will be ahead in a couple of polls and after feeling confident they will call a vote of NC once parliament sits and Corbyn will end up as caretaker. He will delay Brexit, be branded a hero and will have full support of the media.

          A Corbyn minority will take office boosted by the Lib Dem’s and SNP. Both get a second referendum. The Lib Dens get to push remain but on their terms. Leave will only win if they can get 80% and Scotland get Indyref2 breaking the union.

      Let’s face it, the lower courts (Mags/County Courts) normally always follow previous precedents (‘stare decisis’) but the higher courts toy with the law. In my view, there has to be many a time in any appeal process that a judge in a higher court will make an important decision based upon his/her/its personal preferences. To avoid any allegation of personal preference, they just mould the law around their decision in an attempt to conceal their personal preferences.

    Today’s case in point where the Scottish Courts have deemed suspension of Parliament as illegal is surely something the best legal brains should have been aware of.

    I think it might be useful to take a look at the reasons why the elites want to remain in Europe, and so far as I can see ALL the reasons are to do with personal gain, and non pro the European project.

    Labour (people not the party).
    The Tories HATE the British working class, and with good reason. Ever since the formation of the Labour party and the Unions they have been a thorn in the side of the economy surly lazy, and strike prone, the culmination being the general strike when the left attempted to overthrow democracy. It didn’t end until Margaret Thatcher crushed the unions, but the emnity lived on.

    It’s no better on the Labour (party) side though. They started off as the champion of the White working class, but in the 1970s the made a concious decision to betray them. The meeting went something like “The average working man is a racist, and we represent the average working man so shouldn’t we be racist too”?
    The answer came back that Labour should champion the ethnic minorities and fight the working class they were supposed to represent. Alas those dim witted workers were to stupid to notice the change and that the party which once championed them now stood as their enemy.

    Enter the EU accession states and the free movement of people, and the Chairman of the Tory party didn’t even advertise vacancies in the UK for his ‘Next’ warehouses (or if he did no one noticed). Slurs were cast against the White working class that they were workshy and idle. Labour joined in, in the hope the newcommers would vote for them.

    Grants for Land under the CAP.

    Any landed gentry such as Lord Hesseltine have been raking in farming subsidies for years, a £100 K pa income for him and similar amounts for others, quite clear they aren’t going to want to give that up.

    Offshore Tax advantages.

    Britain is a high tax Socialist country and many of the EU member states are offering companies lower corporation tax to offshore their headquarters and pay less tax (nothing to the UK exchequer). Tory Grandee Martin Sorrell headquarters his advertising agency in Ireland for tax advantages.

    Vote rigging. Nearly all election fraud has been in Labours favour, and virtually all of it has been by Pakistani Muslims which the Tories are too cowardly useless and incompetent to do anything about. The recent Peterborough by election which was narrowly won by Labour saw allegations of widespread vote rigging with Eastern Europeans being paid £20 to vote Labour.

    Undemocratic legislation.

    EU diktats do not pass through parliament for approval or debate, they simply pass into UK law, but before they do the civil service applies something they call ‘gilt edging’ where many more clauses are added without parliament ever getting to even hear about them.
    If we leave the EU it will become impossible for Whitehall to impose law by diktat and it will have to pass through the commons and be subject to debate. Worse for the elites is that the people will get to know what they are up to.

    Having to implement our own laws means a lot more work for MPs which they don’t want to do.

    Protection from accountability.

    How many times have you heard “well we would but EU law” the Welsh Steelworlks where the government was forbidden from a bail out, and many other instances.
    The elites can hide behind the protective cloak of EU legislation and requirements instead of taking responsibiliy and being accountable themselves.
    Leave the EU and the protective cloak vanishes.

    Cheap household labour.

    This one has been aired many times but it is still valid. The elites are able to draw on a pool of cheap servants and handymen which they could never do before. Nannies, Au Pairs, Cleaners, plumbers etc etc.
    They do not want to lose this nice comfortable help.

    I hope I have shown here that the elites are not pro remain because of some fanatical belief in ‘ever closer union’, they are pro remain purely because of what they can get out of it. Sure there are passionate remainers who do believe in the EU project, but by and large not many in the elites.
    Paradoxically Corbyn wants to be out of the EU because he wants to be free of the shackles which restrict his spending plans, the other more moderate in his party have forced him to rethink this.

    If anyone else can add to this list of reasons then please do because the more we understand why the elites are so pro Europe, the more we can pull them up over it.

      Thoughtful – I’d tone down the benefit of parliamentary scrutiny ol legislation if I were you – the surrender act and fixed term parliament monsters being leading current examples .

      My law prof specialising in EU law used to marvel at the way the UK civil service locked in EU legislation whilst other EU countries would get away with watering down if it suited them .
      That was back when Maastricht was being kicked about …..

        @Thoughtful & Fed
        i’m in the middle of reading “the great deception” by brooker & north 2005 (many pages, so 6mths to go I think).

        my take from memory (16yrs old in 1973) & the book so far is we the public were told/sold were joining a common market which was a good/desirable thing.

        don’t think we had a vote on this(Heath gov)? but at the time I thought it sounded ok ish.

        but as the years have gone on the “common market” has expanded to become the EU with powers over almost every aspect of UK & other member countries laws etc.

        some may be happy to let non elected EU technocrats decide our laws & where a large chuck of our tax & vat moneys goes but I now at 62 want it spent wisely looking after our own people.

      Kaiser, I’m afraid I thought exactly the same when I stumbled over
      “I almost [what, only almost??] regret coming to the UK to study” … :o(

      Nearly all of the “poor students” they mention are doing some sort of art or fashion course and but they reckon they will able to contribute massively to the UK economy.

      Seems they “won’t be able to get a job back home” so are looking to work here (well, what if we don’t need them either?!?)

      And “how are they expected to get a job in 4 months?” … Such a poor show of UK.

    This Archbishop Welby obviousy by his extraordinary action in India, has or holds contempt for the British people whose ancesters did so much to aid India, introducing so many of its inventions, such as Trains, of which the Indian people have used and enjoyed for so many years-however their Maharaja’s for centuries before the British were anywhere near India behaved with complete distain for their own people, control, enslavement and a policy to keep those people ignorant and poor. So why would this British member of the church of the United Kingdom bring his own ,mostly unfounded condemnation of our ancesters so contemptuously. Brought shame to the position of Archbishop-certainly has lost any respect that I and no doubt many may have had for him.

      There are the obvious pros of hurting the BBC while showing a limited form of public dissent with no collateral damage to other vital services eg NHS , defence. The only downside is that some folks will get picked on by the BBC and fined or sent to prison . My suggestion would be to actually pay the equivalent of the LF into a fighting fund which was used to finance legal teams to fight the BBC at every case they brought.
      Of course there would have to large numbers taking part for to be worthwhile , a million or more. The organisation will be difficult and I feel this is the main stumbling block to my mind.

    Can someone please answer a very simple question: is France at war at the moment? Is it dangerous? Because if not, why are leftists insisting that we should take in migrants from France. They should be claiming asylum in the first safe country they arrive in. The French authorities should be stopping the migrants from risking their lives by trying to cross the channel in inflatable dinghies. No-one seems to care about the French inaction on this subject.

        Could be dangerous getting in the way of the stampede to Calais/ Ouistreham/Dunkirk/ St Malo/ Zeebruge etc. Already decided if we need to drive back to Blighty we’re heading down to Santender in Spain, the French number plate does fool them as well. Went through Ouistreham last time and although there were many gentlemen of a dusky hue milling around they ignored us and concentrated on harassing the trucks. Scared us the way the trucks ignore red lights because they don’t want to stop.

          If any government wanted to stop the migration it could do so within a week. But the truth is that the governments of France, UK, Germany , Holland, Belgium , Spain etc are all perfectly happy for it to continue.

      I wouldn’t be too certain Corbyn will lose an election, especially when we hear things as today – the government will relax the rules allowing overseas students 2 years in which to secure employment, thus encouraging a significant increase in this sector of immigration. and it serves as a reminder that the Tories have ingrained left wing instincts which will alienate them from many of their traditional voters
