    For TV1 news at 6pm Laura has dressed in her best RED jacket. (Could there be a message there somewhere?)
    Laura hints the real action is not happening at the C. conference. What on earth could she mean?
    Laura lays into BoJo big time. She gets so excited, her little voice can’t resist piping in under the commentary on Sajid’s spending plans, at regular intervals (lest we think the money is really there, etc. etc)
    As commitment to the non-parliamentary female derailing of Brexit goes, I would rank her second only to Spiderwoman.
    Whose jacket sports a lot more bite.

    BBC covrs a report calling for it to be mandatory to report child sexual abuse.

    ‘It should be illegal not to report child abuse, victims have told the child abuse inquiry at the start of its investigation into boarding schools.
    The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse heard of an “overwhelming body of evidence” to support the introduction of “mandatory reporting”.

    ————————
    Piece of advice, You could end up in jail, or accused of Islamophobia if you report on some of the sexual abusers. Just saying

      GWF The NSPCC and police are against mandatory reporting
      cos it discourages kids from confiding with the teacher
      cos they see it as meaning there will a catastrophic change in their family.

      Yes, absolutely a corrupt teacher might protect the perp
      I’d prefer it , if kids were advised to confide in 2 different adults.
      Some unprovable sex abuse might be best dealt with by other methods other than the courts.

    I have followed Jeff Taylor for years now and I still think his reporting of the antics concerning Brexit cannot be beaten.
    A parliamentary history of hundreds of years? “The Mother of All Parliaments” and all that bulls*it. I have always said that so-called ‘Democracy’ in the UK is a fiction, merely a thin veneer which, with very little scratching, would expose the joke of the illusion beneath. Here’s another one: “The Rule of Law”. More bulls*it for you.
    I urge you to look at two Jeff Taylor videos. If you had any doubt about the stitch-up now looming on the horizon listen to how the “Elite” under Soros and the EU are going to manage the last throw of the dice. Game set and match.

    and,

    A ‘Banana Republic’ somewhere in mid Africa if I’m not mistaken!

      Thanks G.
      Both interesting and very disappointing to hear the supposition that Boris has chosen to “squash this case”.
      It makes sense that, if Boris truly wanted to Brexit, then all he has to do is drop the defence against Tilbrook’s case and accept that we have already left. He could then stick two fingers up to Bercow and the rest of the traitors in Parliament and claim victory like his hero Churchill.
      Looks like its going to be a rehash of Traitor May’s sellout then.
      I am not surprised. I don’t think Boris can be trusted..I don’t think any of the Tories can be trusted.
      I think @Taffman is correct. The only way to a proper Brexit is to vote the The Brexit Party.

    @RichardBurgon is due to speak at the Shut Down the Tories demonstration on Sunday in Manchester, as the Tory Party conf opens.
    He will be there with Weyman Bennett “Stand Up To Racism.” The same man that told Mrs May to “shoot herself over Windrush
    Windrush started under Labour

    That leads to this info
    Weyman Bennett who has a conviction for assaulting Police officers
    … and was involved in the reported cover up of an alleged rape concerning SWP bigwig ‘Comrade Delta’.

    Since c1997 tens of thousands, at least, of female white children in the UK have been gang raped by racist Muslims in many (every?) large town in the UK.
    Muslims who were imported into the UK by the Labour Party to “rub our noses in it”, and vote Labour.
    The reaction of the left to the masss rapes was to bury the news.
    Concern for the raped chilren was non-existent.
    Concerted collusion between the Lefty police and Lefty local councils took place to conceal the rapes.
    The press published nothing.
    When Nick Griffin publicised the rapes, he was arrested.

    Today I read that the current Prime Minister may be charged with indecent assault. An assault which allegedly took place twenty years ago and was not reported at the time. The allegation made by a far left Remainiac female.
    This follows a series of allegations in the USA, all made by far left Democrat supporting women, all decades old, none reported at the time. Allegations made against current Republican opponents.

    UK Lefties supressed news of huge numbers of genuine rapes, which supression almost certainly greatly increased the number of rapes, bacause it was politically convenient.

    Lefties today are charging their opponents, with imaginary assaults, because it is politically convenient.

    This is the morality that produced The Gulag in the USSR and the Killing Fields in Cambodia.
    So destroying the Left would be a very good deed indeed.

    Well it seems that at the moment the remain cowards have chickened out of a VoNC as according to some sources ‘it plays into Johnson’s hands’

    Does this mean that they are not as strong as they make themselves out to be?

    I am also curious of this supposed workaround the Benn act which hopefully will knock the remainers out for cold if it works out.

    Been checking the BBC website and as usual the bias is extreme. Boris is apparently bad with woman.

    Hang on, when did he say that ?
    In offhand way in an LBC interview a year ago

    If I said the queen mother touched my bum in 1985 could they disprove it?

    An enquiry into the tens or hundreds of thousands of rapes and gangbangs of little schoolgirls would be money better spent but for some reason I don’t think they will go there.

    Nowt about this on Al Beeb?
    The first responsibility of any government is to maintain and secure its borders. It is evident now that the UK’s Border Force either can’t do that job or is avoiding the job its paid to do, at best it is useless. It is emulating the events of similar forces rescuing migrants off the coast of Libya i.e. running a ferry service. The more that it continues, the more and more illegal immigrants will be attracted to come. Genuine asylum seekers are back of the queue. How many terrorists are getting in ? How many more “major incidents” does Mr Javid need to “declare”?……….
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46705128

    We have the finest military in the world and its about time that they were put to the job that they are for – the defence of the nation. Royal Marines are expert in amphibious work and would gain by the training and experience on maritime border operations. In partnership with the Royal Navy with its technology they would be a formidable border defence force.
    In the meantime the invasion will continue …………….

        The main reason that people voted to leave the EU was because of the vast amount of immigrants being allowed in to this small country.
        The majority of our people would be glad to see an effective border force. Its about time our government ‘grew some’ and ignored “the MSM/ traitor shadow government”. We are short of houses, schools, hospitals, doctors and jails etc etc. etc .

    Don’t know if anyone else heard the PM program in which yet another cowardly useless incompetent Tory was for once haranged by the BBC for being well, blue Labour.

    The BBC is probably pissed the Tories are now in the centre left ground, this where they want to be with their beloved Labour party and the Tories being there, well, it just isn’t cricket.

    When the interviewer asked said guest about what happened to free market liberal economics the Tory couldn’t really answer, but just kept blustering.

    Really quite telling as the Tories are now moving to the full destruction of the high street through imposing ridiculous costs on employers. They are too stupid to realise that making these retail units empty and many shopworkers unemployed they are shooting themselves in the foot.

    Greed however doesn’t see the bigger picture.

    The BBC does a puff piece on Chinese 70 years of Communism, and most of it is reasonable, except for the inevitable infatuation and obsession with Islam and the Uigers.

    The story was supposed to be about Chinese Communism, but all it was, was the alleged oppression of the Muslims in China, and how badly treated they are. There was a very short piece on Tibet and the Buddhists there, but it really was short compared to the ‘suffering’ of the poor Muslims – no one else got a look in.

    I would imagine that Naga Munchetty doesn’t rate very highly with many viewers. I would have suggested that she owes her job to positive discrimination but the other presenters, with whom she shares the red sofa, have so little ability that this probably isn’t the case. The Trump quote has always been misrepresented but this is par for the course from our national broadcaster. (They never let accuracy get in the way of their prejudice.) Having reprimanded her for comments about racism and Donald Trump, the BBC has now backed down and overturned their original ruling. How predictable. More confirmation, if ever it was needed, of BBC bias and their support for those employees who so blatantly display it.

      To bring myself down to the sanity level of the BBC‘s best scientific experts. A Government of National Unity may try to stop the Climate from Changing. If low pressure went to zero, then you wouldn’t have any Weather and Climate. That wouldn’t be proof of Climate Change because you wouldn’t have any Weather and Climate. That would entail a reduction of one bar of atmospheric pressure which is possibly what happened instantly, 60 million years ago. Therefore a Government of National Unity could spend billions on a probe to the asteroid belt, nudge an asteroid to collide with the Earth. That could possibly stop the Climate from changing as well as putting an end to the BBC.

    The probable ten part “October Coup” Declaration of a Government of National Unity for Great Britain:

    Part One: Asserts as a matter of Natural Law the ability of the losers of an election to stop political independence; acknowledges that the grounds for such independence are unreasonable, and therefore illegal, and ought to be halted.

    Part Two: That to stop these rights, Governments are instituted among losers and liars, deriving their unjust powers without the consent of the governed by refusing to hold a General Election. And whenever the people becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the Government of National Unity to institute absolute despotism.

    Part Three: A Government of National Unity has the right to alter the system of government as it sees fit for the benefit of the members of such a Government of National Unity.

    Part Four: The right of the Government of National Unity to repeat injuries and usurpations upon the winners of the independence referendum, by putting a halt to the three year process of restoring independence and imposing an absolute Tyranny.

    Part Five: The Government of National Unity has the right to refuse all calls for a dissolution of Parliament, to cause others to be elected in its place, and to ban the people from using words that may cause convulsions that disturb the peace of the nation.

    Part Six: To combine with a foreign power to subject the winners of elections and referendums to the jurisdiction of an undemocratic authoritarian regime, foreign to our constitution.

    Part Seven: To impose taxes on the people without their consent for the payment of one billion pounds per month to a beloved foreign power, and to ban adverts about this payment, on buses.

    Part Eight: Endeavour to replace the inhabitants of Great Britain with foreign voters.

    Part Nine: A Government of National Unity shall exclude all populists who support the majority of the people in a democracy. As Parliament is now sovereign over both Queen and the People, Parliament shall abolish elections and referendums and therefore democracy under a LibDem sponsored “Populism Act”.

    Part Ten: A Government of National Unity shall only include those members who think of Europe as the Nation and the Union as the Unity.

    Signed by: John Major, Tony Blair, Ken Clarke, Jeremy Corbyn, Jo Swinson, Nicola Sturgeon, Lord Heseltine and many other Snotty Lords.

    4:00am had the third-former lad reading some awful, garbled anti-President Trump rubbish, which is deemed ‘normal’ by appalling BBBC standards.

    None of the bulletin made sense, and the whole episode was delivered – gabbled, with laddo having to take huge gasping gulps of air between each sentence!

    Don’t they ever want to teach these kids how to report ‘news’, (their term, not mine)?

    So a bunch of scientists have rubbished the link between red meat and cancer and the reaction….

    Their new guidance contradicts recommendations from health organisations including the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), which tells people to avoid processed meat altogether or eat very little of it, while limiting red meat to about three portions a week.

    The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) also recommends that anyone who eats more than 90g of red or processed meat per day should try to cut down to 70g or less.

    Then they produce a handy little calculator in the Telegraph where you can enter your meat consumption and get an analysis.

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/09/30/weak-evidence-cancer-link-red-processed-meat-major-review-concludes/

    The analysis tells you that you would get more calories if you ate grains and that your meat eating produced high levels of CO2. Not a mention of cancer.
    So in one shot they show their clear intentions, use the bogus cancer scare pitch to push their globalist green agenda. All linked to global warming blah, blah, blah….. Thus giving their real agenda away.

      Red and processed meats: How bad for us are they?

      The World Health Organization caused quite a stir four years ago when it said processed meats, such as sausages, bacon and ham, cause cancer. It added that red meat was “probably carcinogenic”, although the evidence was limited. New research, however, suggests that cutting down on these foods is a waste of time for most people. It argues the evidence is weak and the risk to health small. This goes against the advice from most organisations. Here’s the full story.

      How bad is the bbc for us? As it gets. Probably.

      Trump asked Australian PM to help investigate Russia inquiry

      Donald Trump is already facing impeachment proceedings over a telephone call with the president of Ukraine. And there’s more bad news for the US president from Australia. Officials there say he called Prime Minister Scott Morrison and requested help with an investigation into the origins of the Mueller inquiry, which looked at whether Mr Trump had colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. Media in Australia and the US say Mr Trump asked Mr Morrison for help discrediting the inquiry, which exonerated him of collusion.

      It’s complicated, so here’s all you need to know about the Trump-Russia saga. The allegations around the Ukraine call are also far from simple, so here’s our explainer.

      Yes folks, the bbc is going to ‘explain’, with…… ‘all you need to know’, cobblers. Complicated, media cobblers.

    And following from “digg’
    I wonder if anyone times the amount of air time used by Tourette’s Robinson as opposed to the PM between the start at 0810 to 0832

    Robinson thinks that he is the king of the thousands of state broadcaster journalists . The ego just drips from the radio speaker . It makes him him sound literally repulsive .

    BoJo did a good job in his 22 minutes . He obviously used the ‘speak slow ‘button .

    I wonder why Boris talked to Nick on R4 at 8am, especially with Laura assessing how it went. They- the bbc- want to bring him down. No question. He must have known there would be no Q&A interview, but rather a hatchet job, with Nick needing to come out on top. BoJo must have known he would hardly get a word in edgeways, hardly ever complete an answer, or even begin it. That Nick would attack him about thighs, etc. What would be the point?
    Any ideas?

      I think it’s like going to the dentist – every so often it is necessary for a politician to sit in the chair and deal with a puffed up piece like Robinson who really does sound like a repulsive geek ( I’m hopefully only the latter ).

      Conservatives really have to ration the amount of worshipping they do at the alter of the state broadcaster . I still will not use the abbreviated term as it is no longer British ,

        I try to avoid the dentist – I know he is out to hurt me (‘for my own good’) and that on his territory he is the boss. He choses the equipment, procedures and amount of pain, as it were. With all the pipes in my mouth, I get the chance to nod or grunt, at best.
        I can’t see that any worshipping whatsoever needs to be done at the altar of the biased broadcasting corporation. Quite the opposite; the centre of anti-British propaganda, paid for by the British taxpayer wouldn’t get any credibility boost from me.
        Now comes Labour’s response. I think you will hear a respectful, listening interview. Civilised Q&A. Lots of chance for Labour to talk for as long as they want. Helpful hints from Nick.
        I suppose you could argue it reveals beeb for what they are, but most people know that already.

      re the Robinson interview
      I think the best thing our PM could do under those circumstances is to fix the interviewer with a steely stare and say ” Now look here Mr Robinson, if you will not allow me to finish my answers to your questions, what is the point of this interview”? Then,until the interviewer gives a satisfactory answer to that question and learns some manners, just keep repeating, “What is the point of this interview”?

        Lefty,
        I listened to that interview on Toady earlier. Boris is not quick on his feet. Repartee lacking. When Robinson anxious to go down the personal hatchet job route asked, “How do you feel having alienated both your sister and brother now?” He should have replied immediately, “Well Nick, as the BBC is relentlessly telling the public: ‘the country is split and also families’, why should my family be any exception?” That would have done the trick I’m sure.

      Fed and fnw, think if I had been in Bojo’s place, at the point when Rick Nobinson insulted Bojo, I would have terminated the interview at that point. Just upped and left, saying “I’m insulted.”

      Am trying to remember the Tory Minister(s) who walked out of the Newsnight studio but name is buried deep within brain and will not surface. (SoS for Defence?)

      Google is no help whatsoever.

      It is interesting, even when I put some specifics into the search enquiry, all Google will come up with is current politics & political personalities. Draw from that what you will.

      The sticking point on the Vote of No confidence – which in my reckoning must be done by the end of the week – seems to be that since the ‘rule ‘ is that the leader of the opposition should go ask the queen to be PM Corbyn is so repulsive that all 500 traitors won’t go for it .

      The council of ministers is on the 17th so any new PM selected by Coup had to be in place after 14 days from the confidence vote . …..

    TOADY Watch #1 – Limited Exposure

    Switched on just after 7.30a.m. News Bulletin and thought I recognised the voice of Steve Baker MP talking to Nick. Sure enough, it was he. Spoke well. Stood up to Nick well. Very revealing of Nick Robinson though. He has become very devious and deceitful, no longer the neutral BBC Political Editor of 10 years ago who used to get complaints from all the various political factions.

    There’s the man that should be Prime Minister right now: Steve Baker MP.

    Maybe caretaker PM while Bojo is in the slammer?
