How will the Biased BBC handle the second set of killings in the UK in a week involving illegal immigrants claiming asylum ? And how will their current political campaign on behalf on non whites be affected ? …

I am wanting to compose a letter to my MP to encourage them to join in with the idea of defunding the bBC.
It needs to be a very good letter.
It needs to be accurate.
The points need to be as indisputable as possible.
And it needs to be concise (one side of A4). Which is where the problem is. There is so much wrong with the bBC, but I want to concentrate on the bias.
Monkey Brains came up with a 50-point list on the other site, showing how the bias is created (by omission / photos / tone etc.)
I’d like to take some time over this and create a list of, say, ten examples of really, really bad bias (either as a single occaision or a cumulative feast from one source).
Would any of you kind peeps be willing to help, in terms of the list itself and/or the analysis before the letter gets put to bed, please?
Info – interesting idea but i think most/ all MPs would rather take money than go against it .
It needs to evidence breaches of the charter -or OFCOM findings of guilt – which are rare. Purely anecodal stuff – which is reported daily here wont be enough in my view .
Same with your MP – do they have a safe seat ? Are they new ?
@Infoquest who is your MP ?
Some like David T C Davis are already on side.
Our MP is Mark Eastwood (https://www.markeastwood.org.uk/) . He’s new this time round. The seat has been swinging left and right. A while ago I met a lady in Dewsbury (which feels very different from where we are) who showed me photos of her dad (a ‘village elder’, if you know what I mean) with Ed Balls, Andy Burnham et al, who were all cosying up to him in the run up to the 2017 General Election. Basically we get the MP that the elders choose. And, rumour has it, there are very few TV licences in Dewsbury. Not sure how that would affect Mr Eastwood.
Take your pick…

The most severe critic was Parliament itself: Following on from Jimmy Saville and the Demise of Mark Byford who was removed to pop up as Editor in Chief of the New York Times, a short time later, after this expose…..
The BBC’s appalling record is ‘golden awards’ to bum chums.
As the Public Accounts Committee struggled to get to the bottom of the utter mess… To the astonishment of MPs on the powerful PAC, BBC bosses repeatedly claimed the £949,000 paid to Mr Byford in a 2010 deal represented ‘value for money’..
Committee chairman Margaret Hodge said she was surprised that Mr Thompson decided the contractual sum of £500,000 was not enough for Mr Byford to stay ‘focused’ on his BBC job, and instead agreed a £949,000 severance payment. Mr Thompson and Lord Patten were called to appear with BBC HR director Lucy Adams, Marcus Agius, the former chairman of the BBC Executive Board Remuneration Committee, BBC director Nicholas Kroll, BBC Trustee Anthony Fry and former BBC Trust chairman Sir Michael Lyons.

I wonder if anyone is watching the rapidly increasing membership of parler.
On here we have often bemoaned the fact that every media outlet is now left or far left with papers such as the DM and DT going leftwards after being taken over.
What we’ve all been asking for is a paper or tv channel that is either centrist or even a little to the right.
In truth, I think we would be happy with an impartial paper/tv channel.
Something like Fox in the USA would be even better.
So, if there’s an entrepreneur out there, seeing the rapid rise of parler, why not be the one to start an impartial or centrist newspaper or tv channel. You’re almost guaranteed an audience of over 50% of the current viewing audiences having to watch sky and bbbc etc.
There’s a huge gap in the marketplace and a huge audience waiting.
@EG I think the thing is cos metroliberals are gullible
they are a good advertising market.
Whereas red pilled people are too clever, they know the true cost of things
therefore there isn’t a huge easy margin to be made from them.
Agree completely. Fox news style channel for the UK would be a good move. I guess no-one has done it as they fear advertisers will run away. If the advertisers are boycotting Twitter goodness knows what they would think of something less liberal/left. Speaking of advertising though, none of the advertisers seem to be aiming their products at me at the moment, only at black people and black families.
Oddly I am enjoying some of the stuff on YouTube from sky Australia. It seems to have a much more sensible ( ie right leaning) approach that sky UK. Not sure why.
I am taking great delight in blocking every company on Twitter that throws an advert at me with a rainbow logo or expressing some support for BLM. There surely can’t be many woke companies left that reach me on that platform now. Or in the future.
Is it me ???? But the last thing I want to do is ‘go away on holiday’ abroad !!!!
Just swap the word Corona19 for Smallpox. No vaccine available, killing randomly, highly contagious and a nasty way of dying, and every country in the world is still delivering up new cases and deaths.
Yet the great British public still want to play Russian Roulette with their lives and take the risk. Suppose it WAS Smallpox, would the reaction be any different ? maybe. But because we mention Covid19 as though its a minor inconvenience to holidaying, then its worth the gamble.
Currently what is there abroad to go for ? apart from cheap booze. Lots of distancing at tourist attractions, airports will be even worst places of hell, and many places and facilities still closed, plus lack of Covid insurance ! Not forgetting 2 weeks worth of face masks and gloves.
I love cruising for my holidays, but I wont go near a boat until late next year or possibly 2022. Toooooo risky.
… but all your friends have villas in Tuscany ?
… on no that is BBC people.
Ah – off to the Fedup Summer Palace in 2 weeks ….. if its still there of course – and maybe a complementary 14 day quarantine or 2 …. i bet the servants have drunk the wine cellar …
‘Scrobs’ Turrets’ is the only place to be this year…
Lovely old dog, getting on a bit – we’d never leave her, square-ft gardening ‘in extremis’, 95degrees in the conserv, bike rides around the lanes, chums to chat with at every turn!
Smug git? Me?
And best of all, lots of old dvds of programmes when they were made properly, so pre-woke/lbgtsdfer%%/BML/stupid, plus a book of Telegraph Cryptics and several tinctures…
We need a foreign holiday like a hole in the head!
‘Currently what is there abroad to go for ?’
You should listen to the BBC, this country is awful. No wonder everyone can’t wait to go abroad.
Wise decision. We do not really understand this virus. I regard much of what you read as propaganda. Like the 500.000 on Bournemouth beach. Rubbish number and impossible
Can’t be bothered going anywhere else in the world , my town’s lovely and a secret kept from tourists .
It’s not Droitwich but it has a pillar of salt , lacks a horse sign and you can hear the meaning of life in a nutshell .
The “ Reading Man “ has been charged with x3 murder – i wonder if he ll go for the ‘bad wifi ‘ defence or the ‘ excess macaroni cheese ‘ defence or both ?
I suppose the BBC will be too busy reporting people going on holiday than slaughter like that which goes against the ‘ enriching’ false narrative ?
BBC : Stabbings scene ‘something I will never forget’
Sorry, BBC, appreciate the snappy click-baity phrasing but I’m afraid you’ll have to specify. Glasgow, or Reading, or…?

Just watching Drama at the moment, Brokenwood Mysteries, a kiwi cop series. The episode is about bird hunters, just saw a big sign, Birds Lives Matter. A bit inappropriate at this moment, however not many bames dying of covid19 in NZ!
Having noticed that LBC and now talkRadio are gradually moving over to a ‘snowflakey-Limpdem’ stance, I find that the only oasis for ordinary, traditional British values and views are here on this website and hopefully now, the Parler site, which I have just signed up to?
How much longer has Al Beeb got to go before it gets de-funded?
Only started listening to Talk Radio yesterday and this morning. Today was pretty poor. But there’s nothing to listen to anymore on LBC.
I think of Global Radio, the company that own LBC, as Glow Ball – or ‘Make Bollox Sound Shiny’

Twitter watch
The Archbishop of Canterbury informs us that Jesus Christ was not white but ‘Middle Eastern ‘ …. I notice in his tweet that he doesn’t refer to him as er ‘God ‘ or indeed ‘Jewish ‘ ….
…
So I guess that the c or e is going to ‘review ‘ it’s collection of statues , pictures and stained glass and delete them if JC is ‘too white “… which might be good for the Roman Catholics who can get the pre – reformation stuff back after 400? Years ….
Surely that Chinese virus is zapping heads …? Very sad .
It’s good of the archbishop to explain this to us, but I’m pretty sure most of us knew that Jesus, a man born in the first century, in the middle east, probably wouldn’t have looked like a freckled ginger Jock…
Mind you, if I’m watching a BBC period piece, I’m often confused when I see a black geezer striding about Georgian London wearing a top hat and tails.
Or when I viewed A Christmas Carol last December and half the cast looked like mixed race Rastafarians.
Oh, and I’ll never forget Dan Snow’s attempt to recreate The Battle of Hastings and William’s main lieutenant, the fellow who organised the successful invasion, turned out to be a black bloke.
It’s confusing…
The C of E is not even on life support now. It has had it. I actually intensely loathe it. A man made construct that is the domain of the ignorant and self obsessed . It stole the land and the churches from the rightful builders. .
Luther felt that the Catholic Church had betrayed the words of Christ. Ironic that the modern Protestant established church is now dong the same.
Language can be a strange concept.
It has it’s regional variations but we know the power of words.
When I hear the word “veterans” I instantly know how lucky I am.
Everyday folk making the ultimate sacrifice, people who would sooner live but put their life on the line.
The bbc has a headline ‘veterans walk London pride’
I’ve cut and pasted bit of the article.
“They followed the route normally taken by Pride in London, which was cancelled this year due to the coronavirus.
A separate Black Trans Lives Matters protest gathered at Hyde Park and marched through central London to celebrate black transgender people.
Hundreds of demonstrators held banners saying “protect trans youth”.
Some marchers carried fresh flowers and banners reading “Fight police brutality, fight racism! Fight imperialism!” and “Black trans lives matter”.
Black Trans Lives Matter.
You couldn’t make this shit up.
It can’t be our national broadcaster?
Some people say the bbc don’t do comedy anymore.
A Christian has the courage to speak out against BLM and its sinister aims.
Gavin Ashenden was the Chaplain to the Queen and has now converted to Catholicism.
Thanks Vlad. Good link.
That was interesting.
An erudite chap, speaking calmly, without hyperbole and hysteria.
Doesn’t it make a change?
Sadly, I’ve got a feeling, good as he is…
We won’t be hearing this chap on Thought for Today.
The BBC would rather go off the air than allow him to speak. They and that archbishop do not understand that in the words of Christ
‘Thou couldst have no power at all against me except it were given thee from above’
Thanks vlad – 22 minutes – i made 20 minutes but his voice was so calming i nodded off . Very strong points well argued .
Do love gentle satire delivered with good humour.
Jon and gang will be digging dirt up on him already.
Asylum seeker story time
Teenager jailed for two years after being found with cocaine in Hersham (September 2018)
A false Portuguese driving licence was also found at Dorjan Cera’s house during a police search
https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/teenager-jailed-two-years-after-15123392
(The) 18-year-old has been jailed for two years after he was caught with 26 wraps of cocaine in Hersham .
When he was stopped by police on June 28 this year, Dorjan Cera showed police officers a photograph of a Lithuanian driving licence in another name which he had used to hire the car he was driving.
The court heard that Cera, of Princes Park Close in Hayes, was found with 26 wraps of cocaine, each with half a gram of the drug.
Mr Ingle suggested Recorder Whitehouse should suspend his client’s sentence because Cera, who arrived in the UK from Albania when he was 16, is seeking asylum and a custodial sentence could potentially jeopardise this.
However, Cera was sentenced to the following after pleading guilty to all counts at an earlier hearing on June 28:
Two years in a young offenders institution for possession of class A with intent to supply
Three months concurrent for possession of a false identity document
Three months concurrent for possession of an identity document with improper intent.
Deported?
Another story, same man?
A man has admitted killing a bus driver and injuring seven other people in a crash last Halloween in Orpington, south east London.
Kenneth Matcham, 60, died on Sevenoaks Road after Dorjan Cera’s car collided with two single-decker buses on 31 October.
Cera, 20, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Friday to causing Mr Matcham’s death by dangerous driving.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53195828
Cera, of Hillingdon, also admitted seven further counts of causing injury by dangerous driving, being unlicensed and uninsured and possession of an identity document with improper intent.
AsISeeIt,
I’d wager that it’s the same fellow.
The Dorjan Cera convicted in the drugs case was 18 in 2018, and the Dorjan Cera who pled guilty to death by dangerous driving a few days ago is reported to be 20.
In 2018, Cera was reportedly living in Hayes; in 2020, he was said to live in Hillingdon, i.e. quite literally next door to Hayes.
IF it’s the same man then it gives rise to a bigger issue: why wasn’t he deported in 2018 following the imposition of a two year sentence for a serious offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act?
Again, if we’re dealing with the same Dorjan Cera, the failure to deport him ended up having fatal consequences for the chap killed last Halloween – the accident could not have happened if Cera had been deported.
Don’t you just want to weep, vomit and laugh at the same time ? Last year we get eco warriors blocking the streets of London about climate change, kids off school pontificating that we’re wrecking their future with pollution and plastic, Sky’s Ocean Rescue, and Millennials protesting about everything.
Fast forward 12 months, and these same twats party in the streets, lie bloated on the beaches, and then celebrate the achievement of a football club. And the common denominator in all this ? the amount of litter and sh…..t left by them. Good thing there wasn’t Glastonbury otherwise the amount would be tripled.
Its actually a national outrage that this should be allowed to happen. No doubt a lot of them have sandal wearing parents who took part in the eco protests. Along with everything else that this country has become, we are no better than the sh..t tips of India and China.
I wish there was a Glastonbury.
Keep them in a field in Somerset.
The bbc tells me about black pound day. We all have to make an effort to buy from black owned businesses.
Well I did that and now I’m stuck with shampoo that will keep my hair frizzy, a strange chip on one of my shoulders and a massive feeling of victimisation.
I only nipped out for a packet of custard creams.
‘… black pound day. We all have to make an effort to buy from black owned businesses.’
Now I see why the BBC is so keen on drug legalisation.
I’ll confidently hazard a guess that there isn’t a black-owned business within 100 miles of me.
That’s NI covered. What about Scotland, Wales? The North East? South-West?
Anywhere outside the bubble?
‘Poles in UK fear Brexit and Covid may end ‘British Dream’ hopes’
That’s one group of migrants I’ll be sad to see go, while we’re left with the dregs.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-hereford-worcester-53150943/poles-in-uk-fear-brexit-and-covid-may-end-british-dream-hopes
From the Polish I’ve seen , we’ve got their dregs.
Loud mouthed, loud music, can’t hold their beer, the ones who work are totally unskilled and puppy dog eager to please the boss , accepting worse conditions , lower pay, parasite agencies, untill those things becomes the norm for everyone.
A Polish family bought a house across the road from us about 3 years ago. I don’t know their surname or the parents Christian names.
They don’t associate with any of their neighbours, have never spoken to either me or my wife, and although their children initially played with mine and other local kids they now only play with other Poles. During “lockdown” the childminder mum has continued as normal as cars constantly come and go, parking wherever they like, and the mechanic father has apparently worked from home unhindered, customers visiting everyday, met with the obligatory handshake and offer of a cigarette.
The family have been here for 10 years, they speak only in Polish and have not seemingly made any effort to integrate, contribute nothing to the wider local community and work in cash heavy/tax light jobs.( I do not know of any Polish plumbers or builders. Labourers perhaps but not skilled builders.)
They seem arrogant and sullen, and any attempt at conversation is met with a blank stare or a comment in Polish to a colleague. It may be that they are simply an unpleasant or odd family. Perhaps I’m being unfair, maybe they just like to keep themselves to themselves, but their behaviour amongst their peers and an apparently large social group doesn’t suggest that.
I’ve been at pains to point out to my teenagers that your impression of one family shouldn’t influence your view of another culture or nationality as a whole but I don’t think they’re convinced. Many others remain equally sceptical in a small town with a large Eastern European minority.
The Polish in our town have their own shops, even though the local supermarkets have Polish aisles, where they can buy their Polish vodka and smokes, which they appear to buy a lot of. They do not drink in pubs. They have their own service at the local chapel and the children can do exams in Polish at the local Catholic secondary school. They also seem to have their own brothels, drug dealers, petty thiefs, shoplifters, wifebeaters, sex offenders, stabbers, uninsured drinkdrivers, tax dodgers, smugglers and sheep stealers. According to the local papers that is. In fact, any crime that 10 years ago was rare now seems commonplace, the perpetrators more often than not Polish. We had and have enough wrong’uns of our own, did we really need to import more?
It’s just I’m not really sure what wasn’t being done before we had the Poles, and other Eastern Europeans (don’t start me on the Roma), to do it.
Food processors and landlords/ rental agencies seem to be the only ones who have gained any real benefit. There do however seem to be more ex-rental properties for sale locally, a sign of the decimation of our manufacturing industry and subsequent job losses, many of the now unemployed agency-working Polish returning home?
I try to take every man as I find him but I won’t be sorry to see many Poles leave, their successful integration and overall contribution to British society has been overplayed and is not in my experience at all positive.
There is one crime particular to their kulcha : catching expensively stocked carp and barbecuing them intead of returning them
seen it a few times
Rich,
You are not alone. My Lithuanian chain-smoking neighbours are just the same: Lockdown? that’s for others. Barbecues? yes all guests jabbering on in, presumably, Lithuanian.
I have no living relatives but I suspect that if any local family with elderly parents/grandparents who receive a visit from the woman of the Lithuanian household, called a, “Carer”, I would demand her sacking for violating basic principles of the Lockdown. She’s probably a carrier of the chinese virus. I won’t go into benefit fraud. Its too early in the morning to wind myself up.
Will be interesting to see how EU types will get on if there is a sustained recession …. increased unemployment et al. I also fear for increased interest rates ……I’m thinking neither of these will come to pass in the short term but I choose to try to think through the variables ….
Anything on Al Beeb about repeats of the BLM on football kit in yesterday’s matches, or have the clubs stopped the nonsense knowing it won’t wash when supporters return to the stadiums ?
I bet British Leyland Motors are kicking themselves these days – think of all that free advertising, especially those tiddly little shirts morons hang in the back windows of their Allegros…
Nauseating comment by match commentator Steve Wilson on the Norwich v Manchester United FA Cup tie, when he said that “eventually games will not have the taking of the knee at kick-off, but personally I will miss it, such a powerful statement blah, blah, blah”.
What absolute bollox, it is so contrived it’s not true. What would be a powerful statement is if one of the players refused to take part in the fiasco, although I wouldn’t give much for his future career as a pro footballer.
Stuart
I think there is a kind of virtue signalling race amongst the sports commentators to mention the Marxist campaign as often as they can . My prize goes to some flat voiced girl on the BBC who feeds the message through the whole 100 minutes .
At least we know when a game is due to start at 3pm you need not bother until 3.03pm whilst they do their tedious meaningless false rituals .
‘What would be a powerful statement is if one of the players refused to take part’
How ironic that the BBC’s former much stated great hope for the Premier League was for a player to be brave enough to go against the grain, be true to his self, to step out of line, risking the disapproval of his fellow players and to come out – I mean in the sense of admitting to his homosexuality.
Comical thing is that footballers are themselves racist, almost all – regardless of their own colour – have white wives or girlfriends.
As are many others, ex of Lenny Henry, George Alagaih, Ore Oduba, Ade Apitan etc.
Taffman,

They do automatically assigned victim status from birth by the MSM.
And now know it.
The BBC scum have gone above and beyond in terms of reporting complete and utter lies in an attempt to create scaremongering, Disgraceful.
Express reports an MP called Bill Wiggin is proposing defunding bits of the BBC ..but keeping the so called ‘news’ bit under direct government funding ….
Anyway – the express also mentions a survey of about 3000 Tory party members finding over 90% consider the BBC anti Tory and in need of defunding …. I’m surprised it’s as low as 90% …..
So, according to the new laws, we can all do a bit more shopping as of next Saturday. Great!
I desperately need a haircut and I could commit grievous bodily harm to get a pint. But what a bloomin’ palaver it’s all going to be.
To get my barnet seen to I’ll have to spend more time queuing than I will be sitting in the barber’s chair. In a little establishment like the one I use “social distancing” will be impossible. My barber will, no doubt, be wearing a face mask and possibly gloves. How on Earth are we expected to enjoy our usual banter about the plight of Fulham FC? And these days if he gives me a wink and asks, “Anything for the weekend?” He’ll probably be trying to flog me some hand gel…
And in the pub it’s going to be even worse. Most bars are taking customer bookings. I gather you could phone on a Wednesday afternoon and book a table in your local for, perhaps, Saturday evening. It’s not exactly spontaneous, is it?
If you can get in you will be greeted by someone “masked up” instructing you where to walk, where to sit and how long you can stay. Great fun, I can hardly bleedin’ wait…
The high street has been in trouble for decades. Our over reaction to this bloody Covid has finished it off.
I don’t particularly want to use Amazon, but I really don’t fancy standing in a queue of masked and hysterical hypochondriacs while I’m only trying to purchase a pair of socks.
The government, the media, indeed the entire establishment, have turned the Covid health crisis into an economic and cultural catastrophe.
Couldn’t agree more.
A quick update on Sainsburys. Still the delusions of grandeur – “we’re feeding the nation” – Sorry, you’re just one of several large grocers, not bloody Oxfam. I note the large number of ‘colleagues’ organising the checkout queuing and it occurs to me that were these people redeployed to the spare checkouts the queues would disappear.
How long can this go on? For how long can corporations in the customer service business treat their paying customers like potential Plague Marys? Anyone with a memory of more than a decade would notice that these businesses appear to think and act as if they had been nationalised.
Is this the next stage of crony capitalism. Over-priced rubbish products. Nationalised industry levels of customer service. Over manning and petty regulation. Nationalised industry sloganeering.
At the time of the Royal Wedding, William and Kate, Sainsbury’s were selling commemorative and celebratory items and were encouraging street parties. Bunting was for sale.
Our local Sainsbury’s, here in Northern Ireland, also sold it. There was a strong local market. It’s a predominantly Protestant and Unionist town, safe to say, pro-monarchy.
It was sold until an employee with Irish Nationalist sympathies complained about this blatant disregard of and affront to their human rights and “parity of esteem” , of how much they were offended and hurt by the sale of such anti-Irish and pro-Royalist regalia in their shared space and place of work and the celebratory items were quickly withdrawn from sale.
Now I’m not a particular fan of most of the current Royal family
but if Sainsbury’s are willing to enable and appease such blatant bigotry and agitating in pursuit of a few pennies more, but can seemingly afford to alienate and insult the majority of their core customers, then they obviously don’t need any contribution from me or my family.
I haven’t been in it since, never will be, and know many more like me.
Rich
I guess the manager wanted to keep his ‘her knee caps or car intact – as well as those ‘mysterious ‘ fires which break out on Sunday evenings ……

Yes we have 5 whole days for the BBCMSM to build the doom and gloom about ‘second waves’ and ‘traffic jams ‘ getting into shops and pubs and barbers .
If this site could award a cash prize I’d put one up for the MSM reporting the first hairdressers /barbers fight/riot … with a bonus for mentioning ‘hair torn out’ ……
Why would they reopen pubs on a Saturday the bussiest day?, unless they wanted trouble to happen

That image of milliband junior and Gove et al looking adoringly at a – then 16 year old girl with mental issues – will live long . I think she might need to go dusky to get her followers back …
I have been expecting this for the past few weeks, the ECB, England and Wales Cricket Board, have decided to take action to ensure that the number of BAMEs playing the game is increased. They claim that too few BAMEs play cricket at the elite level or areinvolved in administration of the game in proportion to their make up of the general population. So in effect we are going to get a South African type quota system when England test sides have to have a prescribed number of non white players. This may even be the case for county teams.
This quota will in due course spread throughout all elite sport. The English Football team is of course packed with BAMEs , and rugby has its fair share. Indeed if this quota system worked fairly the number of white players in the football team should be significantly increased! Imagine the furore if someone proposed that. Other team sports will soon be forced down this path and it will spread further into our daily lives as we are forced to accept the consequences of the immigration that was imposed on us.
Already we have positive discrimination in the likes of the BBC, local councils and the rest of the public sector. It will soon be forced upon the private sector . Remember that when positive discrimination is in operation there are winners and losers. Young white boys already do very poorly at school if they are now to be discriminated against in the job market their chances of a decent life are reduced even more. And all because some politicians , Blair et alin particular, decided mass immigration would be a good way of destroying the British state. It’s destroying the lives of the indigenous population too, but they probably see that as acceptable collateral damage.
White quota sytem for basketball and 100 metre dash please
Positive discrimination is the label that racists stick over their racism, makes them feel better about their racist ideology.
But I thought singing was banned, anyway?
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
Fine words from Rogers and Hammerstein to remind the Police and BBC of their proper duty during this period of BLM appeasement.
The individual who knifed all those people in Glasgow has been named.
He was Far Right racist Mr. Alastair Mcsporran.
No, only joking.
He was Badreddin Abadlla Adam, from Sudan.
News that will be buried pretty quickly, I dare say.

“Refugees Welcome” (as seen on Black Lives Matter banner)
Welcome to do what, precisely?
Sluff -i read something like “ that is the name he told the Home Office “ .
Standard practice for illegals tryinig on thr soft touch “ asylum “ game is to destroy all evidence of identification .
If he really came Sudan – his real identity wont be known ….
The BlackFarmer is on TalkRadio
saying some sensible things
eg I don’t get much racism in the countryside
And some crazy things
eg “They need to make Black History month in October, as big as Christmas”
eg.. “The big landowners need to make a big effort to lease to diversity”
He’d complained that most farmers inherit the land from their family.
He let slip that he only has 30 acres FFS that’s like a smallholding
A farm seems to be 500+ acres these days
The interview opened by the Black Farmer saying he was disgusted at the idea of CofE tearing down statues
.. instead of giving opportunities to BAME on CofE farms

They just speculated about Starmer scheming
That he knew Long Bailey & Angela Rayner are hyper-lefties
so he put them INSIDE the cabinet so they were not on the outside trying to get in.
And now he’s taken the opportunity to kick her out, she can’t be begging to come in
And Angela Rayner can’t speak up otherwise she’ll be out.
I heard a harmless Irish joke yesterday*** but wondered how long will it be before the killjoy brigade deem it prejudiced and even illegal?
*** Irish swimming pools will reopen on the 4th of July. Due to social distancing there will be no water in lanes one, three or five.
BLM : wrongspeak gets charity boss Nick Buckley kicked out
A quote regarding Europeans settling in America.
“There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”
Kind of see the logic there, almost a socialist vibe to it? possible the ‘Indians’ didn’t quite see it like that.
How about “I believe in white supremacy until the Blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,”
As you can imagine the Duke is not flavour of the month.

From the same article,“Of course, John Wayne was racist. By the hyper sensitive standards of today, just about every person who has ever lived was racist,” which hits it on the head really.
The Mallen Baker Show
An anti-woke show I’ve never heard of before.
So far it seems a sensible 30 minute summary of this last weeks news.
Jesus wept !!! He really did !!
I have only this to say.
On the same basis, will Asian-run fast food takeaways stop selling pizza, hamburgers, southern fried chicken etc.?
@AB’s new clip BBC News Claim Black Lives Matter Has Been a MASSIVE Success
It’s interesting that his take as an exBBC is that
‘ The BBC management are THICK,
they don’t know what they are doing’

Reduced to watching a mind numbing film this morning. On Sky News the kids have their own show about mental health – switch off. On BBC News its half an hour of Greta Thunberg – switch off.
On BBC1 its the puerile Morning Live Show – dear God how is this stuff allowed on air ??? 2 plonkers on the sofa continually laughing as they ask 2 video link plonkers childish questions. The first one being the question of what colour is Jesus. A history teach of Asian heritage thought it was ‘excellent’ that this conversation had started, “because as a History teacher I want historical fact”. WELL ! I almost choked on my tea ! I thought, that’s a bit rich when most of the dramatisations of history show people of colour in clearly white roles by scriptwriters. Um Dev Patel was David Copperfield ? she clearly thought that was ok. The film Mary Queen of Scots had more black Barons depicted that it was laughable.
I switched off.
8 million people telling 58 million how to behave and live their lives.
I knew that there were a lot of people employed by the bBC (I couldn’t use the words ‘working at’) but 8 million sounds a lot. I suppose if you add in those at The Guardian too. 🙂
On the BBC1 Sunday Morning Show they had a 4 way interview about climate change and how one time use plastics are terrible.
Very next article was the Indian community making meals and distributing them in…. one time use plastic containers.
GuardianRadio launches tomorrow
