We are witnessing the BBC morphing from a wholly biased anti British anti Right anti Judeo Christian propaganda machine into an undeclared Campaigning Operation without any controls or accountability. Its journalists AKA campaigners now preach from pulpits in the TV Studios on a daily basis ;
“ holding power to account” is now just a meaningless phrase for the BBC . Time to End it .

Facebook going full BBC mode… I’m out!

That is so sad to watch. Two police officers being remarkably patient and then the situation suddenly changes.
Fight or flight seems to be hard-wired into people and I don’t think any of us could be certain how we would react.
With the benefit of hindsight the one mistake that the DUI certified officer made was not to tell Brooks that he intended to arrest him, so the move to put the handcuffs on was unexpected and triggered Brooks to ‘fight or flight’.
I don’t envy anyone who has a job that can suddely flip from the slow, boring, procedural into fast-moving unpredictability.
Is it only me that thinks what Dominic Raab said was ok? The BBC with our fav gobshite Evan seem to think he was wrong and apparently his comment re game of Thrones was taken literally not with the meaning..from a long time ago..the BBC said Martin Luther King did it….what happened to white history….there are many images from at least 14th century of knights swearing fealty on their knee..so Raab’s interpretation is correct..but BBC seem ignorant of the original meaning….why am I surprised
Glad he said he wouldn’t take the knee..sorry he apologised for upsetting idiots
No you’re not JA (see previous page posts), l thought he would hold his end up, but like most who go against the grain, once the media and twatter mob get going in full rant, there is a full on apology and “not intending to offend” repost.
Its a fear of the backlash and their careers, and of course if an ‘apology’ isn’t forthcoming then the media will bang on about it for days, beating the poor sod into submission. And even worse if you’re a politician when its not only your job, but the party and then putting the leader in an invidious position. We’ve seen it happen so often, hence why those idiots Ant & Dec and the others went into full apology mode for blacking up years ago, because their careers were on the line.
The non whites may be having their day in the sun at the moment, but in the long term the older white population won’t be having any truck with upsetting our ‘norm’. And if companies start employing on the colour of skin alone to appease and to be seen to be doing the ‘right thing’, then it wont take long before the younger white population will start to feel like their parents and grandparents. Its a waiting game.
Reminds me of the part in Orwells 1984 where people are made to confess to crimes they never comitted, in some cases ludicrous crimes.
Coupled with ‘Hate’, newspeak, and the destruction of history it begs the question as to why no one in the cowardly useless incompetent Tory party is speaking out about this.
Its not just the Tory party, its ANY party, any tv/radio presenter, who absolutely wont dare to speak out about it. I’ve no doubt that what they all think is a different matter, but a salary in the bank is worth more than making a dogmatic stand or an off the cuff remark – hence the number of slip of the tongues and numerous apologies !
How many times have we heard/read the platitude “its not what this company stands for” and “these remarks are not those held by the company”.
Apologise, apologise, apologise. Three words that should replace the 3 lions on the coat of arms of the United Kingdom.

Funny that no media report the words the was shouting as he waved his knives on Saturday.
maybe it was “Up the Arsenal” ?
Perhaps there’s a tiny hope that, faced with the escalating madness here and in the US, the cowed masses will finally wake up, stand up and say: we’re not racist, we refuse to take the knee, now get an education, get a job and p*ss off BLM – and you too BBC, stop stoking hatred and division in our society.
One can always dream.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-53093244
Dominic Raab is ‘widely’ criticised for refusing to ‘take the knee’.
Really? By whom?
The exact same story is the leader on the D Mail website. The comments section (with over 12K entries) shows every ‘top’ comment supportive. The very top comment has 29,000 likes! There is no equivalent HYS on the BBC because they know full well the comments would be similar, thereby undermining their own bias.
I suspect the truth is, once again the media and establishment are critical in complete contrast to public opinion.
So, given the reality and blatant ‘Fake news’; where in Britain is the headline “Dominic Raab is widely applauded for taking a stand against the cultural Satsi”? Nowhere of course.
The only media balance now in the UK is on sites like this. The US at least has Fox News, we have nothing in the UK. It’s like walking into a constant liberal headwind everytime you read a digital newspaper or turn on the radio.
Irrespective of the rights and wrongs – we’ve now lost the ability to simply disagree and be respected for holding a differing opinion. There is only one truth now it seems!
Furthermore, like D Raab, if I feel kneeling is a subservient gesture, then I bloody well-do. No amount of convincing is going to change that.
As it happens, I’ve read the history behind the Kaepernick kneel and the BLM movement, more widely, and would never kneel. I’m not convinced it’s such an innocent gesture and suspect most people feel the same.
Nazis make Jews take the knee. Sorry, can’t shrink it. Maybe it should not be shrunk
G.W.F.
That’s going onto my phone, in case I ever have to argue the point with someone.
GWF,
That picture speaks more eloquently than could the greatest orator.
The picture speaks a thousand words
History repeats itself…………
“Take the knee”? I don’t think so. Rather they are scrubbing the floor. See the buckets and, off to the left the brush.
Ven, just checked the d/mail site, and yep the first comment has garnered almost 32,000 likes, but confusingly the comment section itself says there are only just over 13,000 comments. (?)
Yes Bris. One can vote but not necessarily comment ????.
Talking Pictures are showing a whole host of children’s adventure series that I remember fondly from when I was a wee lad.
This is just about the only channel I can stomach these days. William Tell was on the other morning and at one point in the story the Swiss, who had been invaded by Austrians, were told to “kneel before the hat.” It was a symbolic gesture of submission to the Austrian emperor.
There are clear similarities with today’s nonsense with these boneheads that support the anarchistic BLM.
In most European cultures you only bend the knee if you are subservient.
Why in the name of God, would any right thinking Englishman, bend the knee to these oiks.
When I eventually receive my knighthood, for long hours and selfless services to the pub trade (boozing) then I’ll gladly bend the knee.
Until then…
Venutius – Ah, the beauty of the passive voice.
But what meaning does grammar have, in the collective media madness?
Like the leading question, a great device for manipulation?
Africa is in a mess, let us agree that it is the legacy of white colonialists. Well, we have so many articulate supporters of BLM, white and black, with degrees and knowledge of history of oppressed people. Now is the chance for them to put their knowledge to good work. Go to Africa, take over as they are trying to do here, and turn the place into a paradise, with politics based on the true equality our people here are failing to achieve.
Go on, celebs, news readers, journalists, and even
some tories, Make Africa Great Again (MAGA)
GWF- I understand what you are doing, but, let’s take face value. Still worth some reflection.
I would agree that we wish Africa and its people every success. Not least, because it is in our own interests.
Where I would disagree is that ‘it is the legacy of white colonialists’.
Most of these, if not all, are long gone. They may well have exploited, but they also built.
I wonder, for example, what result we would get if every Zimbabwean were asked whether they were better off under ‘racist’ Ian Smith, or under Robert Mugabe? I wonder what the late Joshua Nkomo or Ndabaningi Sithole would say? No fans of Ian Smith, they.
And I do understand the human dignity dimension.
Regrettably, the mess has gone on since the 60s, when most of the colonialists went home.
I can see especially most Radio 4 presenters and guests enjoying life in Bulawayo or Kinshasa. Whether or not to ‘bend the knee’ will be the least of their problems.
Not to mention Huw, Fiona or Clive. all of whom would thrive…
‘
fakenewswatcher
Where I would disagree is that ‘it is the legacy of white colonialists’.
You are correct. However, my expression ‘let us agree’ was not to attribute guilt to the white colonists but merely to accept as a starting point the (wrongheaded ) belief that is held by the BLM and supporters.
If they took up the challenge I would gladly wave them off and shout encouragement to do better than we horrible whites
GWF – I think we are in agreement, but getting entagled as I reflected out loud. (Lest we forget?)
Got your last sentence all the way.
I watched some of the channel 5 series with Portillo treading carefully around the former empire . It’s prescient in current circumstances – considering it was probably put together in 2019.
There was an interesting exchange in India where Portillo showed some of the sins of the British Upper Class in their treatment of Indians . He asked a local university type whether it should be wiped away .
The answer was ‘no’ – it was as much part of Indian history as it was British ….I’d say leave slave traders ( in Uk) where they are as a reminder of the past and not extinguish it .
But as we know there’s more going on than merely a few blacks feeling hard done by – it’s momentum and the like within the MSM thrashing around to get a reaction .
Commission a few reports – get a few recommendations – dump some borrowed tax payers cash into a few ethnic projects – dosh out a few gongs to non whites – then move along .
Obviously there are a few complications like the US election in 5 months as well as some inevitable ‘event’ where whitee ( plod /politician ) is held up to be crucified …. a couple of levels up from the Raab nonsense today …..
Fed- we are in agreement. US is where the momentum gathers. we know why.
But, although immigration (often illegal) and demographics worldwide, are big bugbears, the treachery and virtue-signalling of the media and their manipulators are the biggest concern.
They create an atmosphere and a mindset where only a strong-minded politician would tell them politely to…
Key reason why Pres T is such a target.
Now we will see where the Raab story goes
I see in the Telegraph ‘Savanta Com Res’ says blue Labour are now only four points ahead of red Labour.
Who could have guessed?
It is a mystery why those who support BLM/Antifa/SUTR/HnH would want to hold a tainted British passport. We should help them do the right thing for their consciences by relieving them of British citizenship and send them on their way to a destination far from our wicked shores.
Simply cannot see this Government doing anything about Al Shabeeb – why get rid of something that (along with the rest of the Luvvie media) costs their political opponents so many votes? To paraphrase Pete and Dud : It’s a funny way to run a ballroom – but it works. Shame this country falls into the proverbial, but hey, it’s white, working class English peasants shouldering all the fall-out and who gives a toss about rubbish like us?
Lincoln University apologise about their apology.
Earlier local radio appeared to say Lincoln University had apologised to black students.
Just now the TV report started out saying that, but then it became apparent the uni hasn’t apologpised
..rather it was the students own Student Union that issued the apology.
Furthermore they have now deleted their apology tweet
and apologised for lifting their apology words from an Essex Student’s union apology.

* That positive discrimination statement is of course racist.
The Labour Party are making a jolly big mistake if they join the virtue signalling ‘taking a knee’ thing . A lot of Labour voters I know are very angry, very angry.
I won’t even mention Al Beeb and the LimpDems . I will give them two months .
The Met Police should never have joined in the symbol of servitude , they should have been sacked.
Boris should have nipped it in the bud.
Now would be the perfect time for Farage to re-enter politics. But he needs to work on the “trust” thing more than just a bit. But at the moment he is all that we have got or is that all that the corrupt bbc LED MSM will let us have.
Boris and his government have lost it, and after his sterling performance on Talk radio Raab put out a twatter statement afterwards saying he supported the aims of BLM after all.
Smells of Downing street all over. I wonder whether Boris,s soppy girlfriend realises what the implications of defunding the police could have on women who are not protected by 24 hour security?
And for the benefit of any trolls that are looking , when I say say “we” I refer to those of us of all colours who still believe in democracy, truth and a well ordered society.
I wonder what Dame Vera Lynn (RIP) thought of this madness, let us just hope in her last couple of weeks she wasnt too aware of the betrayal of the nation so many of our naive youth were so central to.
I know my late mum who thought the best of everyone (and was pleased when Obama was elected – because he seemed like a nice chap) would have been heartbroken to see our once great country being converted to little better than a running sewer by a heady mix of naive snowflakes , cynical race baiting progressives and cowardly politicians.

Well he should .
Soubry condemns Raab
The BBC must be livid that our Vera’s demise has put a dent in their BLM-fest. They have no choice but to roll the flashbacks. Must be a lot of gritted teeth in W1 right now.
They are having to deal with everything they hate without the usual sneering scorn… whiteness, old folk, patriotism, loyalty, dedication, love, the military and Great Britain.
Just give them time I would wager,
I expect somewhere along the line Dame Veras great, great, great grandfather owned a shop that sold bullseyes to the children of slavers. Best to get Panorama onto a job like that.
That will be the end of her statue.
Remember in the future we could have statues to the likes of far more worthy characters such as Fiona Onasanya who has no white privledge and performed the important duty about teaching us about the inherent racism involved when consuming Cocoa Pops and Rice Krispies
Yes digg, because its an age they don’t recognise, of morals, manners and courage. Look at the age of all those in uniform at the concerts abroad in WW2 – no doubt the same as those running the BBC. It makes you weep.
I am beginning to wonder what will happen on the football terraces when the fans are allowed back in to live matches if the sheep-players continue with the apologetic knee stupidity.
Can’t see it going down too well at Millwall for instance. I can’t really see a few thousand of them grovelling on their knees in pathetic apology and subjugation.
Perhaps the clubs will remove all the seats and replace with prayer mats?
More interestingly will be the first player to take a stand and refuse! That will come a lot sooner than fans.
Like Laurence Fox, there has to be one independent brain out there, willing to put Principle before profit. I’d be fascinated to know what pressure has been put on the players to endure this.
It will be a brave man who will do that and what is for sure the MSM blowflies will be picking through his past like maggots on a dead sheep.

Thank you for putting that up – the video I’d seen wasn’t as clear or ‘forensic ‘ as that . I stick with my view that the murder charge is just political . There is no malice there . They treated the chap fairly and , I thought , respectfully until he started fighting the handcuffs . Must be hard being a cop in America now …… I fear a lot more will be killed because of hesitation to pull the trigger when they needed to ….. but it’s another country’s problem – not ours ….
Hey everybody, grab your binoculars and take a gander at this: a rare sighting of that rarest of species – a Tory with balls (Conservativus Testiculi).
Dominic Raab saying he wouldn’t take the knee.
The entire staff at the BBC are being given offered smelling salts and free trauma counselling.
Naturally they’re trying to whip up the story into a scandal, with Flabbott and Lamey pretending to be outraged and demanding apologies etc.
Sadly Raab is already backpedaling, his nerve having run out at the first sign of pushback.
Make that Conservativus Unique Testiculus.

Not exactly a strong defence of refusing to be intimidated, more kind of take it or leave it.
‘Our Laura’ had some advice for him:
“When strong feelings are stirred, perhaps our politicians might be advised to always proceed with care.”
I wonder who is doing the stirring Laura dear?
Pug – if she saw East Ham now I think she’d have been lost ….
Funny isn’t it ? The formerly slaver owner Guardian newspaper has summarised a report by the Labour Party as to why it died in the General Election . It mentions that it now has as many constituencies as it had in 1935 …. and needs a 60% increase in voters to beat the Tories next time – something which has never been done .
You’d never think that would you ? In the way that the MSM is solidly behind Labour and Is the absolute enemy of Conservative MPs – and its not about holding up ‘power for examination Or accountabilty “ it is just Hate .
Meanwhile the PM is squandering the 80 seats he has – and I can’t think of an obvious replacement – apart from Nigel Farage …
UK Column the conspiracy website does seem to have something

The fragrant Laura was on the TV news tonight warning Dominic Rabb of the dangers of not being mindful of the public mood with his Game of Thrones remarks. Whilst showing a field of brainwashed fools kneeling.
I think Mr Rabb was very much in tune with the public mood. It’s the BBC and the rest of the media, along with a vast swathe of politicians that is misjudging it, if the YouGov poll below is any guide.
I wish they would do a poll asking whether people agree with BLM or are sick of the terrible biased media and their constant anti white agenda.

Next time anyone gets a virtue-signalling email or tweet from some company or other…
Personally, I’m blocking every single company on my Twitter timeline that has turned its logo rainbow, or tells me it supports BLM.
The paradox is corps are supposed to serve the FULL RAINBOW that is the British public
but the Green, the Red and the Pink have powerful lobbying
and want corps to specialise in their agendas.
Well you can’t have your cake and eat it
If corps favour some colours
they are disfavouring some others.
The laws in the UK arw for the whole population are set by democratic government .
So that’s all a corp needs to do : Obey the law
that way they can serve the whole population properly.
We know that corps have money, that money comes from us the customer
So when they say we’ll be giving 5% to and X & Y charity or cause
I’m like that’s my money you’re giving away, so why don’t you give me a 5% discount and then iI will have a choice to which charity I direct that money.
I know this is late but could we have a top tab inserted that lists all those companies who have made political stances on issues such as Brexit,(old I know) BLM and LGBTQ
I am boycotting Tetley, PG tips, Starbucks, Wankers crisps, National Trust, all newspapers and written to them all explaining why
Anyone else add to list ?
Yes, very wise. My wife was about to buy some Yorkshire Tea, but I said put it back as this company supports BLM and we opted for another brand. I urge others to do likewise.
A quick look at Al Beeb’s news website tonight and there isn’t any news, it’s just utter tosh and propaganda.

Cultural Marxists’ Plot To Destroy Nation States

Dominic Raab SURRENDERS To Hard Left Marxists
Kuensberg is being deliberately obtuse. She knows as do we all if we are paying attention that taking a knee is a particular US way of showing that you disrespect the national anthem. It is nothing to do with us .
Keep stirring the pot Lamey / Kuntssberg, and one day it’ll explode.
According to Turley, ‘A MASSIVE POPULIST UPRISING Against Far Left is SURGING Throughout the Nation!!!’
(Skip the first couple of minutes of ads)
His main point is that the left is at war with reality. This is the crux of it all. The left wants to bring into existence a world of their desire . If the reality of us and the existing world conflicts then to the left the existing world is wrong and must be destroyed and replaced. This is the driving force that led to the French, Russian and all other so called revolutions.
It always fails and ends in the tyranny of either one man or one group. There has never been a successful attack on reality.
The danger is that as the revolution starts to fail it becomes unstable and turns against itself and all of us.
The strength of our system here is that we avoided this trap by allowing reform and change to happen incrementally.
A democratic society based on a belief in freedom will always fight back. At first it might appear to be crumbling but that is in it’s nature.As it’s members realise what is at stake they organise and start a counter attack. That is what is going on in the USA. It will happen here.,
Funny, it seems that only the B,s of the BAME’s are doing the winging, remind me again of the % of B’s in the UK – oh yea 3.5% in England, 0.6% in wales and 0.7% in Scotland wonder what the other 95% Of the UK population think
There are Blacks and Blacks.
By and large the ‘blacks’ with English names, like Winston, are English-speaking, Christian church-attending and are cheerful in nature with a wicked sense of humour.
Then there is the other lot from Africa for whom none of the above applies.
Of course the whole BAME thing is just a ‘social construct’, something that those on the left tell us doesn’t exist. In this instance they are right. It is a grouping of people that are supposed to be opposed to the indigenous population and therefore united in a common cause – a standard technique of ‘the left’.
In reality the Caribbean don’t like the Africans, the Pakistanis don’t like the Indians and the Chinese never wanted to be in their gang anyway. We see the same with the ‘alphabet’ people, the lesbian ‘lady’ would prefer not to share a space with ‘willy-women’ (and if that space is a prison they are right to be concerned).
Didn’t people used to say that people joined the Labour party to disagree and the Conservative party to get married? Certainly the politics of the left is all about division and anger and ‘small c’ conservatism of arriving at a consensus.
2016:
Fifa has fined all four home nations for displaying poppies during World Cup qualifiers around Armistice Day.
England and Scotland players wore armbands featuring the symbol when they met at Wembley on 11 November.
Wales and Northern Ireland’s respective games featured displays on the pitch or in the stands to mark the event.
England’s Football Association will appeal against the fine of 45,000 Swiss francs (£35,311), with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland yet to decide.
Scotland and Wales were both fined 20,000 Sfr (£15,694), and Northern Ireland 15,000 Sfr (£11,770).
A Scottish FA (SFA) spokesman confirmed discussions between the home nations have already taken place and an official appeal is likely to be lodged early in the new year.
Fifa disciplinary committee chairman Claudio Sulser said he “fully respected” the commemorations but stressed the rules “need to be applied to all member associations”.
“The display, among others, of any political or religious symbol is strictly prohibited,” he added.
“In the stadium and on the pitch, there is only room for sport, nothing else.”

Ask any young black youth who Vera Lynn was, before journalists start castigating those who have no interest (or care) where taking the knee started. And how much of their own cultural history do young black youths actually know ? I wager more white people know far more about Selma and know who Rosa Parks is, than the average black youth in Brixton.
Quite a few blacks benefitted from this : (biting the hand that feeds them)
The Rhodes Scholarship is for two years in the first instance. The Rhodes Scholarship covers Oxford University (and College) fees as well as providing an annual stipend. For the 2019/20 academic year, the stipend will be £15,900 per annum (£1,325 per month) from which Scholars pay all living expenses, including accommodation. Please note – this is not sufficient to cover partners or dependants.
The detailed Conditions of Tenure document outlines permitted combinations of degrees, and how many years of study are covered by the Scholarship, as the latter depends on course choice – for example up to three years of fees and stipend is available to Scholars who choose to undertake a DPhil (PhD) at Oxford.
Following selection for the Scholarship, the Rhodes Trust will cover the fee required to apply to study at the University of Oxford. The Trust will cover the fee for a Tier 4 study visa and the associated International Health Surcharge (IHS), which enables international students to access the UK’s National Health Service. The Rhodes Trust will cover two economy class flights – to and from the UK – for the beginning and end of studies in Oxford.
On arrival in Oxford, Scholars receive a settling in allowance (£225 in 2019-20). For those Scholars who transition to a second course of study in Oxford, they will again receive assistance to cover the fee for visa renewal and further application for IHS.
A number of research grants are also available to Rhodes Scholars, on application, which enables Scholars to, for example, attend international conferences or conduct additional fieldwork.

Quotes from Nelson Mandela on The Mandela Rhodes Foundation:
“We are sometimes still asked by people how we could agree to have our name joined to that of Cecil John Rhodes in this Mandela Rhodes initiative. To us, the answer is easy, and we have explained the logic of our decision on a number of occasions. We have referred to our constitution’s injunction for us to come together across the historical divides, to build our country together with a future equally shared by all.
“…The event of this morning gives a further concrete answer to that question. The erstwhile company of Cecil John Rhodes, in which members of the Oppenheimer family were and remain such illustrious and great South Africans, has today once more demonstrated its commitment to transformation – and, in fact, reparation…
The Left is at war with reality because they want to change that reality. Our world must become their world. We seem to lack the courage to tell them where to get off !
Statues must be toppled, films banned, you must bend the knee to black humans. Look at Africa, and this will strike you as the ultimate perversion.
Not because the people are ‘bad’; cos they need Western or Asian help to get remotely near our standards of healthcare, industrial enterprise, building infrastructure, business development, social development, skill and knowledge building, democratic institutions, etc etc.
So we have had a flood of migrants looking for a ‘better life’.
Fine, if legal.
BUT, after a generation, NOW THEY ARE TELLING US WHAT TO DO!! Because they are more violent and aggressive, and white anarchist/Marxist/’Liberal’ students, Antifa, Labour, BBC, Guardian etc. help them to intimidate and subdue us, to prepare for conquest. of our culture, then our nation.
It’s rediculous.
The Left were smashed in the last election and now they are seeking power by enlisting other means . It is assisted by Al Beeb, Marxist students, and race baiters, all grabbing the opportunity offered by the current pandemic and the Brexit negotiations . Unfortunately the government is weak and timid despite its huge majority . Boris needs to take onboard the old idiom “know your enemy”. He would do well to dump his current guru and enlist Farage . Nigel did offer but was told he would be “put back in his box”.
The gloves are completely off at the BBC . They have unofficially
declared WAR on the British state. In 1941 the media attack
came in the guise of Lord Haw- Haw broadcasting from Berlin.
Today it comes from Salford and London from the BBC controlled
by anarchists and communists who get liberal bigots to do their
bidding.
With the General Election four years in the future, real separation from the EU imminent, the economy still paralysed by questionable lockdown regulations and our political and media class oddly obsessed with racial issues, the Guardian’s front page today prioritises a report into the electorial woes of the party they support – Labour.
Funnily enough the BBC has this report as a major story on their on-line news site.

Don’t bother reading it. Even if you like the Labour Party it won’t tell you anything of substance. It’s all banal platitudes:
‘ the party needed to “build a winning coalition of voters which spans generations, geographies and outlooks”, while holding onto Labour’s existing supporters and “inspiring more younger voters”‘
It doesn’t say what policies Labour ought to adopt. Still, it’s a rough blueprint for their media supporters highlighting the need to reach target audiences with Labour’s messaging.
R4. Ms Hussain is on talking to Education minister Nick Gibb about HUGE amounts of money going into schooling..
All she is doing is knocking the whole process – the BBC must have a department that ignores anything good and looks for snidy negative questions…
Good on Minister he has just told her – she is focusing on things that go wrong and not looking at everything that is going on and working…
Her whole attitude is one of condescension..and she has forgotten one part of Education…the unions and the teachers wanting 100% safety before they go back
Oh FFS sake she has asked him if he would take the F***ng knee
BBC you are a bloody disgrace .
James,
Yes, I heard that disgraceful interview. I’d only just turned on to hear the superior and condescending voice of the resident muslim. It just screams the hidden, yes, ‘kaffir’ doesn’t it? It was clearly just an exercise in “Gotcha” tactics. Her hero, Karl Marx would have been so proud. And indeed that fact was proven (if anyone had any doubts) when she asked, out of context for health, boldly, “Would you ‘take the knee'”. Just to identify to their BAME listeners who is, or not, on their ‘side’.
The BBC are on the tack to identify the position of all politicians but particularly the array of so-called, “Conservatives” who, to a person, should have replied, “I only take the knee for our Queen”.
I’m so pleased I don’t listen to the BBC anymore – what it shows is that after a while shaking the money tree has no effect .
The only gain from a Conservative politician going onto the MSM is to show it up for the mad snarling dog it has become ……and also how out of touch the bubble is with a huge majority who are going “W.T,F. is happening ?”
It’s getting to be quite entertaining now as these people compete to out black each other ( even the white ones who wanna be coloured )….they’d all be a lot happier in the land of their forefathers …..
To be honest Fed , i am beginning to wish i was black .
Free pass for life now in this country. The Race card opens up a world of milk and honey in Britain these days.
Guaranteed interviews for jobs. No interview would be Racist.
Guaranteed to get the job. If not, its Racist.
Unable to be sacked from ANY employment as that would be Racist.
Unable to be prosecuted for ANY crime as that would be Racist.
Guaranteed compensation for anything, no matter how trivial, because if they don’t pay, that would be Racist.
Allowed to hold any views, unchallenged, as to be challenged would be Racist.
Straight to the top of the Local Authority Housing List. Not being top, that would be Racist.
Having people kneel before you, if they don’t, they are Racist
Guaranteed compensation for anything, anything at all. Even if its their own fault, as to not pay compensation, well, yes, that would be Racist.
Now, where can i get one of these cards ?
Not Enough Dead Jews delivers in spades…
The guardian led with this yesterday – obviously we only get the plaintiffs version of events to pre empt the civil action – get a bit of kudos – but more importantly get a bigger out of court settlement from plod using taxpayers cash –
I don’t know the specifics of this case, but given their predisposition to get ‘uppity’ quicker than other colours, I have to wonder…
I heard that interview this morning, Guest Who, as for her ‘sitting in her car doing nothing illegal‘ – bullcr@p – it was clear that she had committed an offence, driving around with heavily tinted front windows – a hindrance to effective and safe driving.
My question is, having seen such cars on the road, how could the police officers possibly have known her skin colour before they stopped her? You can’t see through some of these windows, which, precisely why she was stopped initially.
So how could her being stopped have anything to do with racism.
And, from that point on, acording to the body mike tapes, she clearly obstructed the police in their job.
She was ‘totally confused’, she said – yeah, right ! Uniformed officers ask you politely to roll down your window several times, ask you to open your car door several times, and you refused at every turn – suspicious, much ?
Still, new defence for obstructing the police – “Honest, guv, I was confused at the time !”
