Weekend Thread 31 October 2020

The evening of All Hallows. A full Blue Moon . A busy time for BBC bias – Labour Party Civil War again – islamic terrorists murdering again – and America deciding its president again – full Covid Project Fear again – and biased BBC staff publicly revolting over restrictions on expressing their bias on social media . Where do we start ?

    Why did we let this intolerant scum into this country ??

    Anti-Macron fury reaches London: Police clash with Muslim crowds demanding ‘respect for the Prophet’ outside French Embassy over President’s stance on Charlie Hebdo cartoons

    Protesters gathered in London holding signs that said ‘We will not tolerate disrespect of our beloved prophet’
    Emmanuel Macron has become the focal point of Islamic fury after defending Charlie Hebdo cartoons
    The Mohammed drawings were used as justification for a teacher’s murder in Paris suburbs two weeks ago
    Macron said that France will not ‘give up on our values’ despite fury at the caricatures – sparking more outrage

      Unfortunatly I think in some ways it is too late for this country to stop migration. Unlike Macron, thanks to a crooked government, establishment and media we now have no credible alternative party to stand up to this madness.
      With the biggest Tory majority for years the Conservatives have shown themselves completely unwilling to stop this flood of unwanted doctors and engineers into this country.
      With regard to the “largely peaceful” be headings it is interesting that few politicians of note over here have the courage to support Macron. (I didnt think I would ever have to say that) All these political cowards unwilling to put their greedy worthless heads above the parapet in case they are “next”
      The Conservative party is now Labour Light – nothing else and uncontrolled migration into this country (aided and abetted by the England hating BBC and Bojo personally) is now official Government policy whether we like it or not.
      If we are lucky this country will be Balkanised – if not then Britainistan appears to be on its way sooner rather than later.

      Bets on – how long it will be before in the light of Macrons “Islamaphobia” the BBC will be pushing for more “islamphobia” legislation over here.

        Oaknash, I think you should not give up just because of a few setbacks. Britain needs a strong populist party. It is probably ready to happen. It needs strong branches spreading across the country, the administration should be efficient and the leadership competent and stick to national politics not dive off into local politics. I always read your posts and I notice you stayed loyal to Ukip in times of difficulty. (unfortunately it has lost all credibility now)
        There should be many people in the Uk who would get behind such new a movement/party. Immigration, free speech and the abolition of the BBC and other woke bodies should be enough to earn instant support.
        My own thinking is that too many Brits are waiting for the right leader to suddenly appear as if by magic. My thoughts are ‘get a movement going then the leaders will come’.
        Farage’s on again off again campaigns may be useful at times but there’s no future in it.
        Don’t despair, keep fighting.

    BBC WEB-SITE Watch #1 – If you need a good laugh

    With a total national Lockdown being stirred/encouraged/threatened by the BBC this morning, you may be in need of a good laugh.

    Go to BBC Home Page, click News and scroll down to ‘Full story’ bar, immediately below the ‘Most watched’ bar. On the left hand side there is a pic with the text “A town’s intoxicating will to get through the pandemic”.

    I’m sorry I’ll read that again. (The Interns are in again.)

    Maybe there could have been a better choice of words used there?

    • StewGreen says:

      That’s also the title of the story
      “A town’s intoxicating will to get through the pandemic”

      Buried deep in the text it says
      “But while it would be easy to become despondent, there is an intoxicating *determination* here that this community will help each other to get through the pandemic.”

      So the title should have simply been
      “A town’s determination to get through the pandemic”.

      Just read that. Two things leap out from the rest of the BBC drivel.

      1. “Most of what Trump has had built is not a wall !” So there ! Ohh – do tell…. in most places it’s actually a fence up to 30 feet high, designed specifically to prevent people from crossing the border – but never mind – MSM says it’s not a wall, so he’s failed !

      2. Has it worked ? Well, crossings are still ongoing. So there !……. but do tell us how many crossings are being made where the wall has actually been built, as compared to previously. Nope – but because thecoyotes and their illegals are now running for places where there is no barrier, he’s obviously failed.

      Finally, please tell us who has been doing their damnedest to prevent any wall being built ? Why, it couldn’t have been the BBC’s favourite US political party, the Democrats – time and time again blocking expenditure – could it ? But hell, it’s not built – so he’s failed.

      Couldn’t be any more impartial, could you, BBC ?

    Twitter backed down Friday in its battle with The Post and unlocked its main account after a two-week stalemate over the Hunter Biden exposé.
    https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/twitter-backs-down-agrees-to-unlock-posts-account

    The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information.

    The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff — even as Twitter obscured them from view

      I think we are lucky that flu has disappeared with deaths and cases down by 98%

      Unless they are somehow manipulating the numbers they are giving us.

      Wouldn’t it be good to see a truly independent graph of deaths, including those dying OF covid, put alongside a graph of deaths from the lockdown such as untreated cancers and heart problems.

      • Up2snuff says:

        EG, I suspect that deaths are still not being recorded properly across the UK despite the Public Health (England) scandal in the summer. If the PM really wanted to do something useful, he could get his SoState for Health to insist that Covid-19 deaths are recorded more carefully.

        Problem with things like untreated cancers & heart problems is that in the lottery of life, the patient may live for many more years. They may see out the pandemic completely but perhaps lose out on three extra years when they might have gone on for four or five plus those three.

        I have a friend in her 90’s who is living with her third bout of cancer, it having returned in the spine and bones. Who knows, she may get her century yet, bless her.

    It has been a while since I struggled through Dateline London’s weekly dose of sanctimony – you know, when the BBC rounds up a few international correspondents to add global perspective and authority to events, but they simply end up confirming the BBC’s innate, elitist bias.
    Well, after today’s catch-up, I can report that nothing has changed. Within seconds the panel were gleefully predicting Trump’s imminent downfall.
    There then followed a miserable attempt by the presenter to get them to agree that this may lead to the downfall of so-called extreme “populist” leaders elsewhere.
    Those mentioned, as examples, were Bolsanoro and, without a hint of irony, Boris Johnson.
    The segment ended with a panellist declaring that many Americans would love to see the post-election headline “You’re Fired” next week.
    In the wings, the sound of childish giggles. Their rotten prejudice seeps out everywhere.

      The thing which has stood out to me is how complete and overwhelming the left-leaning media have been towards Trump. It’s absolutely not democracy when there is so much bias against one side.
      I’ve thought about this a bit and concluded it’s all because the type of people with strong left-wing political views who want to ‘force’ their own opinions onto others see journalism as a great way to do it. Meanwhile those on the right tend to be out in the real world doing real jobs.
      It’s not far short of fascism and it’s got a lot worse since social media gave more of them a soapbox. I consider it to be the biggest threat to Western civilisation.

    Sometimes BBC and the trash tabloids (MSM), push something we want to be true. Such as the Labour/Corbyn Antisemitism agenda. But beware, they are probably lying on behalf of the Elite. Have a look at the article below, written by two conservative journalists.

    In short, “Corbyn Antisemitism” is a big fat hoax, a PSYOP pushed by the neocon warmongers and the arms industry (who feared Corbyn’s naive pacifism). Same type of hoax as the “Russian Collusion” hoax in the US.

    Just cuz every newspaper and TV-channel claim there was rampant antisemitism in Labour under Corbyn, doesn’t make it true.

    Never trust BBC and the rest of MSM, they are liars.

    The BBC has imagined learned that the current forecasts of more than 4,000 daily deaths per day from Covid-19 may have been seriously underestimated. Privately, and on terms of strict anonymity, some civil servants with degrees in sociology scientists have told the BBC that the real figure could be high as 400,000 daily deaths, meaning that everyone in Britain will be dead within six months. The new forecast was obtained by the simple expedient of erroneously adding a multiplier of just 100 into a cell on the four line spreadsheet produced by an interm at Empirical College. Several anonymous government ministers are privately calling on the Prime Minister to impose a retrospective national lockdown, backdated to September 1st. Anyone found not have worn an imported, cheaply made piece of useless paper tat a face mask 24×7 since then will be fined or imprisoned, maybe worse. A number of senior Labour backbenchers are said to believe that even this may not go far enough, but if they make enough noise it will distract people from the anti-semitic nastiness in their party.

    Just watching the lunchtime news. The BBC are giving Boris his instructions. Lockdown will be with us by mid-week.

    My God, what an incompetent wimp that man is. Can you imagine Churchill or Maggie shutting down our country?
    If this twerp had been captain of the Titanic he wouldn’t only have lost his ship. He’d have managed to sink all the lifeboats as well.

    He’s managed to turn a difficult health crisis into an economic and cultural catastrophe. It’s beyond parody!

    As ever, there are no dissenting voices allowed on these bulletins. It’s just misery heaped upon misery.

    I think the definition of stupidity is continuing to do something (again and again) that you know has already failed. Where they have tried the recent local “circuit breakers” or “tier threes” the virus has actually increased. Useless lockdowns could continue ad-infinitum for decades. No business can possibly continue with this perpetual uncertainty.

    Someone asked earlier, if we get shot of this buffoon, who do we replace him with? I’m not sure. It would seem that the entire cabinet are useless beyond belief. We need someone fresh. Someone who has a bit more courage and the ability to think laterally than the present incumbent of number ten. We need someone who shows a little more wisdom, vision and intelligence than BoJo.
    Hmmm…

        The scary thing is that she WILL become POTUS in the next couple of years if our American friends are daft enough to elect Biden next Tuesday.

    From the first line – yes, the first line – of the BBC website’s obituary of Sean Connery: “For many, Sean Connery was the definitive James Bond. Suave and cold-hearted, his 007 was every inch the Cold War dinosaur of the books”.

    The greatest role played by one of our most beloved actors – and they just can’t stop the sneering can they?

    A little too much of a man for your average BBC hack?

      Obits are written before people die
      and that phrase “the Cold War dinosaur” ha been used a few times before, but not many

      The line seems to be a quote from GOLDENEYE Bond 17

    Nice to see we are coming down hard on people smugglers as promised by Pritti and crew.
    Two Iranian men have been jailed for smuggling themselves and 29 people across the Channel on two overcrowded inflatable boats. Ghodratallah Donyamali Zadeh, 26, and Ahmed Nayat Quadir, 20, were both sentenced to 24 months imprisonment on Thursday.
    So these two will be out in 10 months and I’ll bet they stay in the UK and claim asylum, if they haven’t already.
    No doubt the usual phrase will be trotted out by those prosecuting that ‘these sentences send out a clear message to those engaged in people smuggling’ blah blah. Hardly.
    Personally I would have given them a year for each person they smuggled and quite happy to pay for their jail time here, with deportation on completion. However I note that the maximum sentence for people smuggling is 14 years, so excuse the leniency but I’d let them off the one year.

    Bannon and guests discuss the latest revelations on the Biden crime syndicate.

    They provide details, receipts, dates, names, emails, conversations, signed business documents, witnesses. FACTS. “A Sunami of evidence”.

    What is emerging is that Biden financial corruption ties in with China’s geo-political ambitions for world domination.

    (Hunter’s sex and drugs depravity is the very least of it, but might usefully serve as click-bait.)

    The story is HUGE, with serious implications for national security in the US and Europe.

    In normal times the media would be all over it, but in these TDS deranged times it’s left to maverick outfits like the aptly named War Room: Pandemic.

    It IS a War. And it IS a Pandemic. No wonder dark forces are doing all in their power to suppress it. You listening BBC?

    To everyone who’s falling for the media’s polling and thinking Trump is doomed, it seems you didn’t learn from four years ago either.

    https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/

    Trafalgar were the only polling group to get the result right last time. They’ve correctly predicted all but one presidential election since they were founded, and they have Trump winning nearly every swing state and being well within the margin of error for Minnesota, Nevada and Wisconsin.

    Given that Biden isn’t even campaigning, Trump is getting tens of thousands everywhere he goes, his job approval is over 50% and the desperation of the liberal catfishers on message boards, it seems far more likely that if there is indeed a landslide incoming, it’s going the way of Trump.

    Looking forward to Wednesday.

          At least he had a few years in charge, more than she ever did although she and her husand did manage to match his racism when she ran for leader against Obama

          “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” Bill Clinton was said to have told Ted Kennedy,

          Throughout the 2008 election season, racist and bigoted smears about Barack Obama circulated online, and bubbled up into mainstream conversation about the campaign in the traditional news media. Two of the most prominent lies about Obama, which persist to this day, were that he is secretly a Muslim (playing on fear-mongering and bigotry about Islam), and that he was not really born in America. Both of these ideas paint Obama as “other” and outside the mainstream, drawing their potency from fears about Black people gaining power. People generally associate these memes with the right wing. But the truth is that for the entire Democratic primary, not only did Hillary Clinton’s campaign do nothing to push back against the racist fear-mongering about Obama, it actually fed this atmosphere and helped it grow. It was a part of their strategy from early in the campaign.

          Back in March of 2007, Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist Mark Penn wrote a campaign memo that proposed painting Barack Obama as un-American or “other”:

          “His roots to basic American values and culture are at best limited. I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values … Every speech should contain the line you were born in the middle of America to the middle class in the middle of the last century … Let’s explicitly own ‘American’ in our programs, the speeches and the values. He doesn’t.“

          In December of 2007, Billy Shaheen, the co-chair of Clinton’s New Hampshire campaign, raised the issue of Obama’s drug use as a young man, and the possibility that Obama could be attacked as a drug dealer. He said he was talking about how Republicans would attack Obama, but his statements had the effect of injecting racist stereotypes into the campaign: “It’ll be, ‘When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?’ There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks.” It is a tried and true tactic: floating an idea to which you claim to not personally ascribe, with the effect of getting the idea to circulate.

          n February 2008, the Drudge Report posted a picture of Obama in traditional Kenyan/Somali clothes (including a turban, which helped reinforce the “secret Muslim” smear). Drudge said the picture was circulated by the Clinton campaign. David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager called it “the most shameful, offensive fear-mongering we’ve seen from either party in this election.” Initially, the Clinton campaign did not deny having sent the photo, instead playing dumb about the possible impact of the photo and attacking Obama over it: “If Barack Obama’s campaign wants to suggest that a photo of him wearing traditional Somali clothing is divisive, they should be ashamed. Hillary Clinton has worn the traditional clothing of countries she has visited and had those photos published widely.”

    Beeb TV1 special news bulletin features that ‘orrible little toxic dwarf, Chris Mason, triumphant that he has discovered another Tory ‘U-turn’ re the lockdown, and how many Tory backbenchers oppose the government etc etc.
    There must be a special prize/bonus for beeb news staff for finding (yet another) Tory U-turn? Possibly another secret prize for every time the ‘pandemic’ can be exploited to hammer the party in government?
    And isn’t the party in government making it EASY for beeb & Co.? A gift waiting for them almost every day, courtesy of BoJo and mates.
    Nobody in parliament to issue a vigorous challenge, either. Merkel doing the same lockdown thing in the German parliament, but at least a satisfying sequence of AfD speakers, ripping into her in no uncertain fashion, loudly applauded by a bloc of their colleagues, who look far more numerous than they are, in that U-shaped assembly.
    Any citizen watching their parliament will get the clear message that there are two sides to this story, whatever their ultimate personal decision may be.
    Oh, how we could have done with Nigel as MP.
