      Fed – My feeling is that beeb has no business campaigning on behalf of the SNP, their loathing of the Tories and obvious affection for WC notwithstanding (touch of Feminism?).
      I’d like to catch them out actually campaigning for the SNP and a second referendum, then take the issue up with Ofcom and (since O. are all beeb buddies) expose them a little further.
      All part of the campaign to ditch the licence tax.

    The BBC are using British TV taxpayers monies to start a smear campaign against Rudy Giuliani with an article they have posted all over the BBC website including their homepage:

    2020-10-22-0929-homepage-00.jpg

    The BBC are attacking Rudy Giulani (in a nonsense article) because it is he that has been bringing to light the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden corruption story. The BBC have already played down as well as denied the Hunter Biden – Joe Biden corruption story claiming it is fake news. Today’s attack on Giulani is part of the BBC disinformation campaign deflecting from the Hunter Biden story.

    There is no bar low enough that the BBC won’t stoop to as it pushes out its own agenda driven narrative.

    BoBotC- As with my thoughts about Scottish independence above, yet merely one more example of beeb meddling where they shouldn’t and taking sides, to become a ‘campaigning’ organisation.
    There is need for an anti-beeb campaign based on their record of partisanship and activism, so that their pathetic claim to be an ‘impartial’ news provider is finally put to bed, and they can start paying their way.

    Local councils across England & Wales are now diverting money into investigating and tackling historical racism and then putting in measures to address racism and systemic racism across the board. All this has been introduced in response to the BBC – BLM – Academic Activists pressure brought to bear on them and following the widespread taking the knee adoption withing British sporting institutions.

    The Tories will be finished. Therefore, courtesy of FPTP voting, all lockdown Starmer/Labour/bBC et al. have to do is to keep picking away at the Covid sore and demand more and more free money whilst ignoring any analysis of ‘Brexit’. After all, it seems to be going their way.

      His bluster and hot air of earlier this week regarding the ‘talks’ being finished are just that. R2 news at 14.oo informs that face to face Brexit talks are going on until Sunday, with a caveat that the UK state ‘time is running out’……

      Oh yeah, its running out all right, running out for the useless spineless cowardly PM and the Red Tory Party.

      They will deliver absolutely nothing, prepare for the Great Brexit Sell-Out.

      The BBC over the past week and a half have with activists in Nigeria been organising, promoting and inciting civil unrest in Nigeria – BBC Nigeria and mainstream BBC. They have also been running stories saying various black celebrities are in support of the civil unrest. It is all about trying to defund Nigerian police and to overthrow the Nigerian government.

      The BBC are doing the same in Thailand, in Ghana, in South Africa, in the US, in Britain and elsewhere.

      The BBC use trigger events to incite unrest – compare with the George Floyd reaction.

      The BBC are now a fully activist organisation using British taxpayers money to incite division, civil unrest around the world against governments and societies it wants to overthrow.

    Right.
    This is ‘back of the fag packet’ stuff but I think it’s not too far out.

    I was wondering how many cars we imported from and exported to the EU.
    I googled it and in 2019, rounded off, we imported 2.3 million and exported just over 500,000.
    Let’s say, keeping it simple, we import 4 times as many from the EU 27 than we export to them.

    If, as threatened, the EU put import duties on our cars, let’s say 10% then we would logically do the same.
    With me so far?

    This would make a big change in buying choices. Let’s say our EU exports went down by half due to the cars being more expensive because of the higher duty, that means we lose 250,000 exports. For the same reason, EU imports to us would have a similar drop and if they went down by a half that would mean a drop of over 1.1 million.

    Now,
    If (for example) Nissan, the biggest car maker we have (I think) lost half their exports, let’s say 150,000, their domestic market would presumably go up by something like 500,000 units as their cars would be much cheaper compared to imported cars.
    They would need to build maybe two more massive plants to supply a huge increase in UK demand.

    I know there’s no hard figures here but I’ve deliberately under ‘guessed’ the outcomes. The EU have been talking about a 20% import duty on our cars. Our imports would then probably be down by 80% or more so Nissan would maybe need to produce an extra 800,000 cars each year.

    I accept these figures are just approximations and semi educated guesses but the logic is all there, feel free to pull it to bits.

    Worryingly, I can see this likely outcome yet I’ve not seen or heard any talking head on tv or radio (or newspapers) pointing out this type of scenario for our leaving.
    To me it looks like a huge win for the UK.
    If you want a BMW you could still buy one but it would cost more. With imported cars increasing in cost by something like a fifth, the home market would boom.

    Possibly the USA may export more cars to us if we have a deal with them but we will be able to export to the USA as part of the same deal.

      EG
      All through the brexit campaign the net import position of the UK from the EU was played down by the remainders – areas like car imports from Germany and France are a big weapon for us – as well as increased trade with America …..it seems inevitable that some washed out deal will be a ‘triumph ‘ for the UK when we are sold down the road again ….

        If all the million pound earners in the UK kept their money fully in the UK and paid full Income Tax and National Insurance on it, then there might be sufficient funds in the UK Treasury to finance free school meals for every child.

The EU seemingly in a mess with its other 26 nations. But as the BBC were 100% remainers, suppose its to be expected that there would be no interest in Brexit.

    “Brexit: Michel Barnier arrives in UK as trade talks restart”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54642907
    Five days ago we had ……………..
    “Brexit: Trade talks with the EU are over, says No 10”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54566897

    What’s going on ?
    Barnier warns ‘time is running out’. Boris is warning ‘time is running out’.
    Is this a game of ‘pretend negotiations’ ? Both pretending that the negotiations are getting tough.
    I am very concerned that Boris is going to sell us down the river.
    Is he going to come out with “he has the best deal under the circumstances”, to justify a surrender deal ?
    We voted to leave four years ago in 2016. Its nearly taking longer than the Second World War !

    I am watching Channel 4 news and I am disgusted with what they are trying to do against Trump. They are all-out trying to influence the black vote to get behind Biden. They have already admitted to working with the Miami News to do this and are dredging up their tired old Cambridge Analytica crap and the black deterrence fable again even though both have been officially debunked.

    This amounts to a UK broadcaster interfering in a foreign election and in my view should be investigated by the US and the UK authorities and action taken against them. It is open sedition!

    I hope Trumps people recognise this for what it is, a direct attack on democracy and bring heavy legal pressure on the UK and especially C4. Of course C4’s handmaidens at the BBC will be replicating the story wherever they think they can get away with it.

    Finally I hope the black voters can see how they are being played with in this.

    Come on Trump Take action!

      Oh please don’t make sick Stew- their exposure has gone from 35% to 110% in a very short time. Not an advertisement, not a magazine or paper, not a TV prog, not any public issue, will be without the face of a black person-rarely one of Indian decent, or East Asian, the theme of diversity comes to mind with that meaningless word Multiculturalism.

    I post this with a heavy heart. In the past few days several people I know, or thought I knew have openly expressed their delight that Rememberance Day and Poppies etc will be hit this year. Comments like “load of rubbish, means nothing to me” , “tub-thumping by old farts” even “racist rubbish”.

    These people are beyond argument. They have been “modified” by the Media, the woke and the left.

    I have always considered this “cleansing” only a fictional trait found in Orwell or Huxley’s books. But now it’s clear. The indoctrination is working and I fear for the future of this Country and the Western World.

    I apologise to all the valiant dead souls who wasted their lives to save a World that these same people enjoy without a thought about them.

    I will remember them.

    A future invader will face an entirely different and spineless opponent.

        Darcy, I don’t think that would help in the slightest. The younger generations (am horrified that I can now use that word in the plural) would see that as typical warmongering of the Conservative and old. They are so propagandised or indoctrinated that they would not be able to see the clear, identifiable, line between the liberation of the Falkland Islands and the dismantling of the Berlin Wall.

        In fact, some – especially those who were singing the praise of Jeremy Corbyn not so long ago at Glastonbury – would probably think freeing Germany of that division of nation and blight on the lives of their equivalents in the eastern half was probably a bad thing and it should have been extended further west.

          Up2,

          I’m with Darcy on this one, in the sense that the younger generation(s) would benefit from a lesson* which teaches them that their actions/words can have adverse consequences for them. Allowing them to spout their idiotic, and often offensive, opinions with impunity is not, methinks, a good thing.

          *Whacking them with a baseball bat is overdoing it a bit, mind.
