X-RATED RACE RANT X Factor finalist screamed ‘You f***ing black man, go back to Africa’ at Iceland worker after she was caught stealing

2 Mar 2020, 11:03Updated: 2 Mar 2020, 12:19
FORMER X-Factor star Rachel Hylton told an Iceland shop worker, “You f***ing black man, go back to Africa” when he caught her stealing food.
The 38 year-old singer, who made the Series 5 final in 2008, claimed the colour of her skin meant she was innocent of a crime, telling police: “How can I be racist? I’m black myself.”

I am unsure if the following has been recommended by anyone on the site today but David Sedgwick’s excoriating book on the BBC , The Fake News Factory , is excellent. It’s on Amazon for £7.50 or Kindle £3.50.
I always found the channel Yesterday warzone of interest, particularly the history around the UK in WW2 just a clear fact-filled window into Britains past.
Today, that’s gone bloody woke too. They are discussing the German fortifications on Guernsey in particular the underground tunnels.
The main presenter (still male at present) is supported by “experts” and amongst them today, two young women “Structural Engineers” both American, one white, one black.
They just lost a viewer, I don’t need to be insulted by accepting that these blatant diversity “placements” have any connection or genuine knowledge with that period in history. Obviously just parroting an autocue.
Digg you only just caught up with this format formula TV thing ?
A British TV production company came up with this
That a cameraman and assistant go and fly to a few historic places and film some locations.
Then back home you edit it up to history lesson narratives.
You have saved the cost of sending a celebrity to the location.
Then so you can sell it to Discovery Networks, you have various tickbox people come into the studio for 90 minutes and get them to read a few lines . to put between the footage the cameraman filmed.
BTW BBC do it the same with Attenborough
They film the footage, construct the narratives in the edit suite
then over a couple of days he sits in the sound studio and reads out the soundbites ..and they edit his voice over into the footage.

These are incredibly serious allegations. I welcome the announcement that the Cabinet Secretary will be holding an inquiry into the Home Secretary’s conduct. However, we need assurances that this inquiry will cover Priti Patel’s entire career as a minister. https://t.co/yHiiRjcE8o
I wonder if anyone has considered that she was to be removed from her post because she is an unstable person? Perhaps the attempt at self harm is a clue.

10pm BBC4
Documentary following the stories and fates of four people accused of blasphemy in Pakistan, including Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who claims she was falsely accused by her Muslim co-workers after a disagreement.
The film also shows Khadim Hussain Rizvi’s advocacy of the blasphemy law as a key platform to run for the role as prime minister of Pakistan in the forthcoming elections.
Director Mohammed Ali Naqvi
But in Pakistan, a blasphemy law enacted in 1986 legitimises such fanaticism, potentially leading to state execution for those found to have insulted Islam.
This often horrific documentary tracks the country’s culture war as it intensifies, with both convictions and acquittals in blasphemy cases being met with protests, and violent threats made against not just the accused but the judiciary.
Millions died so that muslims could have their own country, and they’ve turned it into yet another islamic hell of violent intolerance and persecution. Religion of Peace, indeed.

If he had any symptoms he should have self isolated and if not, continue as normal – that is the official advice and 200 miles from the key zones in Italy either puts him in Austria, France or Switzerland or the South so he shouldn’t have been bothered..self promotion because people don’t give a t**s about him

Sky’s Mark Stone reporting on the migration masses from Turkey, continues to push the line about women and children being caught up in the conflict. Shots were fired from a Greek border patrol as a boat load of migrants attempted to get onto Lesbos, – the bullets were aimed into the water, but Stone made huge mention of the women and kids on board. Shame our British border patrol doesn’t offer the same tactics.

There is a war going on in this nation and its between the government and the liberal media which includes Al Beeb.

The BBC is determind to get rid of Priti Patel;. She must really scare them and their fellow travellers. bringing up some old accusations as the second item on the TV news. Desperate stuff from a failing bunch of useless nomarks.
Well, I’ve just watched a Sky journo John Craig shouting in the street to Priti Patel “are you a workplace bully minister ?” , and Beth Rigby walking alongside Rees Mogg demanding his answers about the coronavirus (he told her to ask the Health Minister).
This sort of journalism is a disgrace, shouting and screaming in the street like delinquents. It happens all too often as ministers enter No 10. These well paid idiots know too well that they aren’t going to get a reply, so why do it ? If it was me I would walk across to them and say on camera … “I refuse to engage with someone who screams at me”, and let them look the stupid ones.

You have to dig way down their “evidence” to find the quote…
“The staff member’s grievance letter alleges she had previously attempted to kill herself after reporting similar allegations of workplace bullying concerning another individual in 2014, before Ms Patel was a minister.”
So it creeps out that the employee concerned has “previous with grievances”…
Latest on Priti Patel bullying claim from her time at Department for Work & Pensions: @BBCNews has seen legal letters alleging a female member of her private office took an overdose on the day she was told Ms Patel wanted to remove her from her role…
A former aide to Priti Patel received a £25,000 payout from the government after claiming she was bullied by the then employment minister. Legal correspondence seen by the BBC alleges the woman took an overdose of prescription medicine following the alleged incident in 2015. The Department for Work and Pensions did not admit liability and the case did not come before a tribunal.
Ms Patel is facing allegations – which she denies – that she mistreated staff in her current role as home secretary, and on Saturday, the Home Office’s most senior official, Sir Philip Rutnam, resigned. Boris Johnson has given Ms Patel his full support, calling her “a fantastic home secretary”. The Cabinet Office is investigating.

Celtic – thanks for the post – I had a bad night so listened to this – yet another bubble dweller who apparently went and ‘talked’ to ‘ordinary people ‘ but still doesn’t get it . A long 1hour 20 minutes .
He talks about the sneering of Sarah palin but doesn’t realise he is sneering himself – particulary at Donald Trump . Yet he realises that the bubble exists but cannot see that he is part of it – the bubble in the sense that politicians of various shades and journalists share the same life style – are literally in bed with each other – and share the same poisonous views .
The see non snowflake bubble dwellers as ‘mentally affected ‘ ( eg the attitude toward brexiters ). On the issue of brexit I notice he doesn’t examine it – indeed doesn’t mention it at all .
Instead he just sneers at Hungary – Orban – Poland – and those countries saying ‘ we want to stay as we are – no third world imports please ‘.
I found his lecture shallow , unstructured and unable to provide any remedies to the stuff he sort of points out .
I don’t think he stand up to challenge very well – particularly to the likes of Nigel Farage – but I’m guessing that this lecture comes from 2017 which is such a long time ago .
As I headed toward the end of this so long piece that I decided this character is a smug c word . No better word unfortunately . In my view he doesn’t deserve to be on this site – maybe the guardian would be a better place
“Packer’s family was distraught by Donald Trump’s election. He found, however, that the school had deprived his son of a vocabulary to understand and oppose Trump on the basis of liberal principles: “By age 10 he had studied the civilizations of ancient China, Africa, the early Dutch in New Amsterdam, and the Mayans. He learned about the genocide of Native Americans and slavery. But he was never taught about the founding of the republic.”
So he has just written this –
2. “The President Is Winning His War on American Institutions”
Don’t waste your time reading it because it can be summed up in a tweet
We have to learn to decode articles like this. “Destroying institutions” is code language for “draining the swamp.” Trump is doing it and the swamp conservationists are aghast https://t.co/MQitnFCAeQ

Stop paying for it, Mr Wadey. Yes, it could be considered something of an initial hardship giving up favourite TV programmes but you will not miss TV after a year. There are so many alternatives now.
It is the best way of sending a message to the DG and the rest of the BBC executives and management: cancel your TV Licence.
Funny how the BBc goes to discredited lefty journos whose prophesies about the 2019 election were so bad that you might expect a decent person to go lock himself in a dark room and just shut up – but for him it’s an appearance fee … and people still watch it .
Maguire is a nasty piece of work. By fast talking he managed to squeeze in a reference to “hate speech” by Boris, specifically the watermelon smiles and the letterboxes.

Unconfirmed. But in the spirit of bbc ‘editorial integrity’, sources say…
“Why is Damian Grammaticas in Skagen, Denmark reporting for the BBC about concerns the Danes have for their jobs fishing in our waters?
They worry about fishing communities abroad while ignoring totally the devastation to our traditional fishing communities.

RE Alarming videos show Iranians LICKING holy shrines in religious tradition as country’s clerical hardliners refuse to close sites despite coronavirus outbreak
The regime has shut schools, universities and sports centres to prevent spread
But the hardline clerical establishment have still refused to close holy sites
Clips show people licking the doors and burial mound inside Masumeh shrine
Worshippers in the videos brazenly state they ‘don’t care what happens’, even if they catch or spread the infection which has killed at least 54 in the country.
Iran’s hardline clerical establishment has refused to shut down Qom despite the holy city suffering the brunt of the outbreak and pilgrims spreading the virus across the Middle East.

Documentary following the stories and fates of four people accused of blasphemy in Pakistan, including Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who claims she was falsely accused by her Muslim co-workers after a disagreement.
The film also shows Khadim Hussain Rizvi’s advocacy of the blasphemy law as a key platform to run for the role as prime minister of Pakistan in the forthcoming elections.
Director Mohammed Ali Naqvi
But in Pakistan, a blasphemy law enacted in 1986 legitimises such fanaticism, potentially leading to state execution for those found to have insulted Islam.
This often horrific documentary tracks the country’s culture war as it intensifies, with both convictions and acquittals in blasphemy cases being met with protests, and violent threats made against not just the accused but the judiciary.

Sky’s Mark Stone reporting on the migration masses from Turkey, continues to push the line about women and children being caught up in the conflict. Shots were fired from a Greek border patrol as a boat load of migrants attempted to get onto Lesbos, – the bullets were aimed into the water, but Stone made huge mention of the women and kids on board. Shame our British border patrol doesn’t offer the same tactics.

Well, I’ve just watched a Sky journo John Craig shouting in the street to Priti Patel “are you a workplace bully minister ?” , and Beth Rigby walking alongside Rees Mogg demanding his answers about the coronavirus (he told her to ask the Health Minister).
This sort of journalism is a disgrace, shouting and screaming in the street like delinquents. It happens all too often as ministers enter No 10. These well paid idiots know too well that they aren’t going to get a reply, so why do it ? If it was me I would walk across to them and say on camera … “I refuse to engage with someone who screams at me”, and let them look the stupid ones.

You have to dig way down their “evidence” to find the quote…
“The staff member’s grievance letter alleges she had previously attempted to kill herself after reporting similar allegations of workplace bullying concerning another individual in 2014, before Ms Patel was a minister.”
So it creeps out that the employee concerned has “previous with grievances”…

Bullying accusations
A former aide to Priti Patel received a £25,000 payout from the government after claiming she was bullied by the then employment minister. Legal correspondence seen by the BBC alleges the woman took an overdose of prescription medicine following the alleged incident in 2015. The Department for Work and Pensions did not admit liability and the case did not come before a tribunal.
Ms Patel is facing allegations – which she denies – that she mistreated staff in her current role as home secretary, and on Saturday, the Home Office’s most senior official, Sir Philip Rutnam, resigned. Boris Johnson has given Ms Patel his full support, calling her “a fantastic home secretary”. The Cabinet Office is investigating.

BBC world class journos missed this one again…wrong kind of racist ?
A road rage motorist racially abused a man and kicked his vehicle in rush-hour traffic.
Driver Tahir Hussain punched his victim’s car during the jaw-dropping incident in the Midlands.
Hussain, 41, branded the driver a “white b*****d” during the chaos, which unfolded in Staffordshire.
https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/smirking-mercedes-driver-racially-abuses-17843918
The driver, of Iranian descent, was with his wife, who is a doctor.
Now, after the incident in Stoke Road, in Shelton, in Staffs, Hussain has been convicted.
He was found guilty of racially-aggravated threatening behaviour, criminal damage and dangerous driving.
The defendant was driving a black Mercedes when the incident happened in November, 2018, reports our sister title StokeonTrentLive.

Notice how the BBC referenced him in this 2016 article –

“In America, some detect that the old political consensus lies fractured.
In his book The Unwinding, the writer George Packer says “no-one can say when the unwinding began, when the coil that held America together in its secure and sometime shifting grip first gave way”

Celtic – thanks for the post – I had a bad night so listened to this – yet another bubble dweller who apparently went and ‘talked’ to ‘ordinary people ‘ but still doesn’t get it . A long 1hour 20 minutes .
He talks about the sneering of Sarah palin but doesn’t realise he is sneering himself – particulary at Donald Trump . Yet he realises that the bubble exists but cannot see that he is part of it – the bubble in the sense that politicians of various shades and journalists share the same life style – are literally in bed with each other – and share the same poisonous views .
The see non snowflake bubble dwellers as ‘mentally affected ‘ ( eg the attitude toward brexiters ). On the issue of brexit I notice he doesn’t examine it – indeed doesn’t mention it at all .
Instead he just sneers at Hungary – Orban – Poland – and those countries saying ‘ we want to stay as we are – no third world imports please ‘.
I found his lecture shallow , unstructured and unable to provide any remedies to the stuff he sort of points out .
I don’t think he stand up to challenge very well – particularly to the likes of Nigel Farage – but I’m guessing that this lecture comes from 2017 which is such a long time ago .
As I headed toward the end of this so long piece that I decided this character is a smug c word . No better word unfortunately . In my view he doesn’t deserve to be on this site – maybe the guardian would be a better place

Fed, Further research has found these two articles –
The first is true because we now see it all around us especially from the left ‘progressive’ BBC
The second is very topical in view of the Priti Patel case
1. “George Packer Gets Mugged by Reality” September 18, 2019 –
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/09/public-schools-story-shows-radical-left-transformation-american-education/
“Packer’s family was distraught by Donald Trump’s election. He found, however, that the school had deprived his son of a vocabulary to understand and oppose Trump on the basis of liberal principles: “By age 10 he had studied the civilizations of ancient China, Africa, the early Dutch in New Amsterdam, and the Mayans. He learned about the genocide of Native Americans and slavery. But he was never taught about the founding of the republic.”
So he has just written this –
