    BBC: ‘Leeds police officers injured as fans leave piles of rubbish’

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-53470116

    Let me just adjust that headline to match prior BBC house style…

    Leeds fans’ celebrations pass off mainly peacefully as… well, you know the rest… that minor detail about police, including female officers, injured and the mess left behind in the city centre and vandalism and breaking of social distancing guidelines…

    Europe down the Pan? Latest news would suggest that its near the edge. The EU’s much-vaunted “Core Values” are a scam. Dishonestly promoted as “for economic benefit”, their real purpose is Nation-Breaking, to undermine and destroy the national identities and cultures, so as to create a brave new Afro-Eurabia with the EU’s unelected elites in control.
    Free Movement, Asylum Granting and Welfare Provision have together created a dire and dangerous Gold Rush.
    Nobody was asked. The tainted BBC, in full propaganda mode, soaks the airwaves with emotive images of dead children to manipulate public opinion: Goebbels would have been delighted. The traitor class politicians continue to push this insanity, inflicting “quotas” of Africans and others on the unwilling populations of member States, but not, of course, on themselves.
    The sinister compulsory Free Movement obligation of the Schengen “agreement” means that those millions of miles of EU outer border, Greek islands, Atlantic islands, African enclaves, and French colonies like Mayotte, are ALL targets for invaders seeking to benefit their lives and enhance their own welfare. The fit strong young African man, in “Europe or Die”, a documentary, explains (at 0.58):
    “I left my country for a better life, for a new life, for freedom.”
    Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, is considered the “grandfather” of the EU. In the 1920s he was dreaming of a Pan-European State long before the EU’s predecessors were founded. In his memory, the EU awards a Coudenhove-Kalergi Prize to politicians who have helped his dream. Merkel and van Rompuy have both received it. Doesn’t say much for the prize! Couenhove later wrote disturbingly-‘The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear… The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future will replace the diversity of peoples…”The genocide of the Peoples of Europe”the elimination of nations with the use of ethnic separatist movements and mass migration.”
    Does that sound familiar, something like “Multiculturalism” and “Refugee Resettlement”?
    We are forced to be spectators at the EU’s destruction of Europe. This is the elites’ project — a mixed-race Pan-European State with its own currency, a pretend-parliament- I think we would all agree that so much of what has been threatened is happening and without serious consideration or even acknowledgement of what future we, the white people of this once all white Europe, can look forward to.

        The Coudenhove-Kalergi conspiracy theory.

        OK, but the idea of a black suburb being changed by gentrification & de-blacked is real.
        As is the idea of Britain being de-gentrified or de-Britished,

        The idea that it is preplanned is a conspiracy.

      Tarien,
      I agree that the future , only a couple of decades away, looks bleak for old whitey and his culture. It is already too late to stop the invasion and replacement programme by usual democratic means. The elite who designed and implemented this programme have, as someone posts above, complete control of the MSM and our institutions. They can manipulate the news allowing people to know only what they want them to know. They can ignore the democratic process and can use the power of the institutions they control to target any form of opposition before it is sufficiently developed to offer and resistance. The Presidency of Donald Trump and the Brexit resistance being excellent examples. Only Eastern Europe offers significant resistance.

      Interestingly the Polish have recently voted against the EU… proving that point. It not just the UK that wants out. Why is the EU Commission at war with Poland?
      Poland has just re-elected President Andrzej Duda, a member of the conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS), for a second five-year term. A re-election that received a rather cool welcome in the European Union (EU).

      For several years now, a conflict has been going on between the European Commission, EU’s main body, and the PiS, the Polish majority party, over the issue of the “rule of law”.’ and that links to what the EU want to impose:

    England looking very likely to win test v WI. BLM logo everywhere , flags, players shirts, bats, scorecards , commentators lapels. I would not be surprised if England captain Joe Root apologises to the WI for winning and declares that it was only because of their white privilege that his team were able to do so. The BBC are particularly upset because the England team is 100% white , not a BAME in sight. Calls for a BLM style boycott unless a coloured quota is introduced , can’t be far away.

      Did all the cricketers and officials take the knee before the match in a special BLM / Say No to Racism ceremony?

      In the English Premier League every match begins with all the players taking the knee. The same with the FA Cup. I think it occurred in every Championship match as well. There seems to be no end in sight for professional sportsmen being required to take the knee before every sporting match in England.

      I don’t know whether sportswomen are also being required to take the knee as I don’t follow women’s sports in general.

        Another channel, another sport, but the tear-gulping breast beating dialogue between Steve Jones and David Coulthard after the F1 GP was a pure comedy great.
        During an apology-laden ‘We must do more’ and ‘F1 must come together on this’ explanation for the failure of several level-headed drivers to abase themselves unnecessarily, Lewis Hamilton – that sad little lad who was once so highly regarded – was now lauded as a ‘beacon of hope’.
        As an example of dishonest and specious speaking it must rank with any Guardian editorial but then, could they really tell the viewers the truth? Especially Ferrari’s version?

            Nice one, Fed!

            How anyone with more than half a brain can find F1 ‘interesting’, is beyond me!

            Years ago, as a small boy, my dad would bundle us all into a rented Morris Traveller, and we’d take a picnic and go to Brands Hatch for the August Bank Holiday meeting.

            John Bolster was the commentator, and he was always hilarious. There would be about a dozen races, with cars driven by Graham Hill (Austin A35), Archie Scott-Brown, (one arm), Stuart Lewis Evans (won the Bodiam Hill-climb in 1958), and a host of normal people, who nowadays would be ‘slebs’ on a squillion notes per race.

            It cost bugger-all for the day, everyone enjoyed a huge celebration of whizzing cars, the pong of Castrol-R, and a hot drive home with a traffic jam of about three-hundred yards on the A20 back to Wrotham.

            That was a day of proper entertainment, not seeing some bleak, small-brained, over-paid twerp piddling about with a spaceship on tyres, with the equivalent of flunkies with spanners arseing around, kneeling down to plonkers they don’t really care about, and really getting on everyone’s nerves…

    Anyone relying on the Biased Broadcasting Corporation for its news and views would get the impression that the US has returned to normal after the BLM riots – sorry, largely peaceful demonstrations in which only a few dozen citizens and police were killed; oh and a few children too.

    Nothing could be further from the truth. In many Democrat-controlled cities, the often violent rioting continues apace, with the authorities doing little to restore order, and indeed often siding with the rioters against their own police.

    Yesterday the beeb did a ‘report’ on Portland, giving the overwhelming impression that the demos there had been peaceful until now, that Trump sending in the troops only exacerbated the situation, and that locals wanted the troops to leave.

    They quoted the Democrat mayor and interviewed a typically ‘liberal’ journo.

    So three voices were heard: the BBC’s; the mayor and the journo, all pushing the same biased narrative.

    The truth is that the never-ending demos are not peaceful, and that many citizens are happy to see Trump taking a firmer stance for law and order and sending in the troops.

    For an alternative narrative to the beeb, see Fox News.

    .. like educating poli’s in statistics.

    The Times review reveals the idea for this series came from Dominic Cummings 5 years ago
    ..the BBC page omits this

    In fact the show before it at 8:30pm
    has a dig at Cummings
    \\ the idea of “behavioural fatigue”.This centred around the notion that the public will only tolerate a lockdown for so long so it was crucial to wait for the right moment to initiate it.
    Go too soon, and you might find that people would not comply later on.
    It turns out that this theory was also wrong.

    Panorama investigates the scientific advice the government followed in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

    WHO urged countries to stamp out infections as soon as they developed, (did it ?)
    but the UK government’s initial scientific advice said the route out of the crisis was for most of us to catch the virus so we could develop herd immunity. (is that true ? or is that misrepresentation)

    Panorama reporter Dr Faye Kirkland asks whether this was a dangerous gamble with people’s lives
    .. Faced with a growing backlash and warnings that the NHS was close to being overwhelmed, politicians denied that herd immunity was the policy, and *within a few days* Britain pivoted to a new strategy – lockdown. (not true poli’s always talked about keeping lockdown for the right time)

      The Truth:

      1. Smoking can increase the probability that you will get lung cancer.

      2. Smoking probably does not cause other types of cancer.

      3. The world’s best scientists, paid by the government, have calibrated man-made global warming to have been about one thousandth of a degree Kelvin, while oil companies paid taxes to the government like most other companies.

      4. Global Warming and Global Cooling are facts. The “Unified Theory of Climate” is the theory that proves that its not Carbon Dioxide. While “Galactic Cosmic Rays regulating the Earth’s Cloud Albedo” is the theory that proves what does cause Climate Change. Therefore this is the moment we can declare a victory for the scientific method.

      5. The BBC. In the battle for public opinion, the scientists were no match for the BBC‘s 24 environmental activists pretending to be the “Best Scientific Experts“. (“The Propaganda Bureau” by Andrew Montford)

    ’In the light of the appalling decision by the BBC to stop free TV licences for millions of over-75s, I asked Dan about the future of the hated TV tax. He was adamant that it must go: “Nobody would suggest this model if we were inventing it today.” It might have made sense when there was only one broadcaster for the entire country. But it has become “utterly indefensible” in the modern age of on-demand digital content.

    He went further, asserting that the licence fee has probably been “redundant” ever since rival TV companies came on the scene. We couldn’t agree more and that’s exactly why we launched our Axe the Tax campaign.

    I could not agree more. Saving money starts by trimming the ‘Magic Money tree’ of the BBC by removing the TV tax to subscription is obvious to all, but the BBC.

      Xi Jinping became President of China in 2013, and also held the offices of General Secretary of the Communist Party and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. Xi increased the profile of the office of president in foreign affairs. Xi has reverted China back towards a state controlled economy and reversed China back towards communist censorship and repression.

      What makes Xi’s revolution distinctive is the strategy he has pursued: the dramatic centralization of authority under his personal leadership; the intensified penetration of society by the state; the creation of a virtual wall of regulations and restrictions that more tightly control the flow of ideas, culture and capital into and out of the country; and the significant projection of Chinese power. It represents a reassertion of the state in Chinese political and economic life at home, and a more ambitious and imperialist role for China abroad. Term limits for the president were removed in 2018.

      Those Communists at the BBC can only dream of obtaining this amount of power over Britain.

    “NYC Puts 27 Cops On Protection Duty For BLM Mural While City Implodes”

    Despite New York degenerating to a murderous sh*thole, the deranged Mayor details 27 police officers on a 24Hr three shift system, to protect the BLM mural outside Trump Towers.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FWqmBpxzs

    The mayor and others, need the US equivalent of Sectioning and to be immediately relieved of their duties.

      In other news, Tyn Cot is to revert to farmland. Leper Town Council said that it did not want to give prominence to an event that went against its ethos.

      Given that Guy Gibson was born in India that would surely make him a ‘BAME’ and, as we all know ‘BAME’s get to use the ‘N-word’ all the time.

      I doubt if the dog’s name had any racial significance at all as, despite what the BBC thinks, ‘people of colour’ where pretty rare here when the dog was named.

      The ‘N-word’ is an import from the USA, along with most of the race package that was imported in the 1960s and is still being imported by the BBC. BBC, don’t you get it? We are Europeans not Americans!

    ‘The same approach which treats sins common to the human race as peculiarities of “our society” often also makes the fatal error of confusing victimhood with virtue, by lining up on the side of the victim, instead of lining up on the side of a moral principle. Yet nothing has been more common in history than for victims to become oppressors when they gain power, whether among the successor states of the Habsburg Empire and the Ottoman Empire after World War I or among the successor states of the European overseas colonial empires in Asia and Africa after World War II.’

    I note Lord Blogger was given the runaround by the HO when he attempted to get some information (at end of last thread). Terrible managers, terrible staff and riddled with corruption.

    The problem as always is the hideously faulty (common purpose) recruitment processes for civil service jobs and the low quality and/or alien staff.

    Here’s another one – According to the Mail on Sunday a number of junior Treasury officials have complained they “do not feel comfortable” with a room there named after Churchill. This was raised during an official Treasury equalities team question-and-answer event.

    Who in their right mind would employ such idiots to work in the civil service?
    And why do Treasury “officials” need an “equalities team question-and-answer event”?

    Time for the ‘recruiters’ and those who recruited the ‘recruiters’ to be replaced.

The last time I saw him in a photo opportunity he was seen standing next to a bunch of Marxist teachers, putting his thumbs up to the brainwashing of Primary School children in the latest environmentalist propaganda obtained from some left-wing charity in Doncaster. My sister has commented about parents pleased about the kids not being brainwashed since the lockdown. I have also heard of threats of legal action from the parents, but it looks as if the Schools and the Tories just pull back from confrontation and withdraw from these charities and then pretend nothing happened.

    I can’t say I was familiar with the term ‘gaslighting’, except, well for lighting with gas, something we haven’t done since the 1960s.

    So I thought I would turn to ‘Wiki’ for enlightenment (sorry!) and it said:

    Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or a group covertly sows seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or group, making them question their own memory, perception, or judgment, often evoking in them cognitive dissonance and other changes including low self-esteem. Using denial, misdirection, contradiction, and misinformation, gaslighting involves attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim’s beliefs. Instances can range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents occurred, to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.

    Isn’t that the BBC’s Standard Operating Procedure in a nutshell?

        Apparently it comes from a 1938 play called Gas Light, in which a woman goes mad because she hears noises in the empty flat above and the gas light in her room flickers. The noises are actually caused by her husband, who unbeknown to her, searches the upstairs flat for jewels that he thinks are hidden there. As he turns the gas light on and off in that flat it affects the gas pressure, causing the light below to flicker.

        The odd thing is that the play was called Angel Street in the USA yet it seems to be Americans that use the term most!

        Angelstreeting would be just as obscure! I guess the Yanks, being more advanced, probably didn’t have town gas in 1938, having gone electric.
