Weekend Thread 5 September 2020

This time next week the Biased Far Left failing BBC will be preparing to put out “The Last Night of The Proms”. This year many who watch it will be more attentive to it than ever . Even if the British Conventions are retained lets not forget what those running the BBC wanted to do – in favour of their own personal views -not those of the suffering taxpayer .
The next big national event is Remembrance Sunday . Interfere with that at your peril BBC.

        What a tosser this man is with his mealy mouthed leftist cowardly platitudes!
        He is part of the problem, because he simply doesn’t have the backbone to stand up and clearly call out the Tories over their far leftist bullshit.

        “we do need to tackle racism wherever it occurs” Really? I think first you need to decide what you mean by this word, and explain exactly why we need to tackle it and how you intend to go about that.

        These are the cowardly words of appeasement which allowed Hitler not only to come to power, but to invade his neighbours unopposed.

        We actually need to call out cowardice, more than so called ‘racism, because it has a far more dangerous effect than almost anything else.

    Birmingham .. BBC news at one.
    ‘ It seems one man attacked multiple people and is still at large’
    ‘ the police are looking for one man and are concerned he is still at large’
    Anyone who has information please contact them.

    Erm maybe the BBC have forgotten they used to do a programme called ‘crimewatch’ where if police were looking for someone they would put out a description of them. No description at all in the news apart from ‘ a man ‘

    So .. Time to guess .. Is he 5 foot tall, 6 foot tall ..and erm just maybe we might need to know what colour he might be !!

    ( just do a bit of internet research to find the answer .. Of course you will not be surprised)

    On the BBC News channel was a police conference where one man was saying “The Birmingham violence was inevitable due to the lockdown frustrations and worrying about their futures. I’m not saying this is the reason for last nights attacks but it is something that must be quickly addressed in the near future.”

    Absolutely shocking this man could say all that and not even mention Trump or Brexit as an additional cause. Hopefully the BBC will invite an ‘expert’ in later to blame everything else apart from the real reasons.

    As someone who lives near Birmingham, I’m really pleased to see you all finding it so amusing that a man has lost his life and two others are in the QEH seriously injured.

    My brother, a policeman another of the people you constantly knock was on duty in the City Centre last night and it was horrendous. He phoned me this morning to let me know he’s ok, but couldn’t talk about what he had seen, and he is a officer with a lot of years of service. He’s back on duty now, in the City Centre on his rest day trying to keep Brummies of all creeds and colours safe.

        Spot on. It’s a great irony that all the newspapers, MPs etc are today boldly united in their defence of freedom of speech following yesterday’s protests by X R . But of course it’s only a very heavily qualified freedom that they support. They are all complicit in refusing to allow British people to vent their feelings or their disgust at the the way we are being invaded. Of course X R are loonies and they ought to be dealt with but the contrast with the way the press deals with them and it’s absolute cowardice in the face of radical Islam is startling.

      BlackCountryWench,
      Many on this site feel very sorry for most of the good coppers and the way they are being used politically instead of them being supported to uphold the law and keep order. Most on this site (including me) think things will continue to get worse including attacks on the innocent, homelessness, mental health issues, overcrowding, mass unemployment, low pay, societal breakdown, etc) for obvious reasons. The biased BBC will not join up these dots – likewise now the government (which we had hoped would be the party of law and order). I hope your brother and his colleagues stay safe through difficult times.

      BlackCountryWench, it’s a form of humour known as ‘black humour’ although that probably needs to be re-named ‘dark humour’ or something even better than that in these acutely sensitive times. It is primarily indulged in by medical staff, especially those in A&Es/ERs and others in the Emergency Services and in the military when they have to deal with unpleasant events as part of their day to day jobs.

      What is happening here is that those of us who routinely have to deal with the worst of the BBC, especially the lies and distortions of News, need to escape into some ‘black humour’ as respite. It does also highlight the chronic defects of the BBC.

        What is peculiar is the almost complete absence of any phone footage of the disturbances in Brum.

        In 2020 near anything happening seems to have at least 2 views and these days – the first reaction of many bystanders is to get their phones out.

        It looked like 20+ police vehicles in the only phone footage I’ve seen – that people didn’t record more isn’t credible…

    I wish the guy running David Vance’s Twitter account would ease off a bit.

    I see he tweeted an extraordinary tweet from Lammy
    which was of course fake

    The actual tweet was bad enough
    Farage quoting the Telegraph had complained the Proms censorship was the result of a “cultural Marxist revolution”
    (That is an idea has merit)

    Lammy’s actual tweet tried to monster Farage by rephrasing it as “Cultural Marxism” is an anti-Semitic trope and far right conspiracy theory
    .. that is the MIsrepresent/PoisonLabel/Dismiss trick we see all the time
    It doesn’t address Farage’s central point that forces are trying to change British CULTURE
    & that those forces seemed to be rooted in Marxism

    Farage is not saying it is an organised conspiracy.

    “The stabbings did not appear terrorism related, gang related or connected to disorder, West Midlands Police said.”

    “Police said there was no evidence the stabbings were a hate crime.”

    Well if it wasn’t a mental health issue (I know they will probably aim to say that it is) he must have been just seeing how effective the knife was, a sort of experiment. Is John Cleese and the Python Team writing this stuff ???

      Emmanuel, the masks don’t work because church congregations are expected to wear them but they are not allowed to sing. If the Government was certain that a facemask prevented transmission then they would allow singing of hymns and songs.

Herts and its miles away by car – at least 45 minutes. So, those who haven’t their own transport and rely on buses, then they’re stuffed !

    Its a huge uncovered area where I live, so thats hundreds of thousands of people who could be carriers or have the disease, but who would know ? Trusting the British public to be ‘good people’ and get tested, is like trusting a tiger with your cat ! it aint gonna happen, particularly when its a bother to get to the Centre.

    Shove a testing centre in every Tesco / Sainsbury store, and people will be more inclined to be tested because ‘its easy’.

    million pound a football season when they have a plethora
    of women sports reporters who could do the same job,
    and be just as humorous as the BBC’s spuds man.
    One I reckon was on the breakfast programme this morning
    and I haven’t had such a laugh since “Cammie” on Soccer
    Saturday was asked by Jeff Stelling who was sent off at
    Fratton Park.We were taken over to Portsmouth’s stadium
    and Chris Kamara retorted “Was there a red card Jeff?
    I wasn’t watching!!”
    So back to this morning. Although the Iceland -England
    game wasn’t the most prodigious sporting event one
    could think of.It was the most important sporting event
    involving a BRITISH team yesterday, and something the
    BRITISH broadcasting corporation should of been mildly interested
    in.Particulary by the sports reporter who was asked about the
    game. However she told us that she hadn’t watched the match !!
    Yes, you couldn’t make it up.It was like something out of
    Monty Python, when Karl Marx was asked “Who won the
    FA Cup in 1949.Yes for sure this young lady sports reporter
    is just the one to take over from Gary Lineker. And save this old codger a few
    quid from his pension to pay for his TV license.I was thinking of asking the crisp man if he has room for me in his £4 million
    mansion.
