Weekend Thread 3 July 2021

How does the Far Left Woke Anti British BBC news manage a bi election result ? It looks like the BBC ( and Labour ) want to just look at the result and broadcast it on and on . But a 350ish majority ? Labour and the BBC have a lot in common – the same political belief and a long long decline as people leave them behind .

    Funny how no one ever seems to want to ask the Canadian idiots pulling down statues in the name or protest against colonialism, why they don’t put into effect what they are protesting about and decolonise themselves back to the countries they originate from.

    Problem solved – for Canada at any rate, although Europe could well be a little worse for it.

      Does decolonisation mean we get rid of all the people who have come here from the colonies? Or at least the stabbers, shooters, child rapists, murderers, fraudsters, drug dealers and terrorists? And the woke trouble makers from the former 13 colonies across the pond who are bringing their sickness into our institutions?

      Just asking.

      The idiots” pulling down statues were indigenous Canadians protesting about the abuse of indigenous children by the, erm, British colonisers. But of course; “iF ThEy DoN’t LiKe It WhY dOn’T tHeY jUsT LeAvE”.

    ‘The judge ruled barring all trans women from female prisons would ignore their right to live as their chosen gender.
    Women’s prisons can house inmates who were born male but identify as female, regardless of whether they have gone through any physical transformation or have obtained a gender recognition certificate.’

      If a male criminal can identify as female and be sent to a prison for females then using that same logic she should identify as innocent and be released!

      Not entirely unrelated: I know a female whose ‘birthing person’ has now decided that they are male.

      That is one level of madness but they have taken it a stage further as the daughter calls this person her father.

      To my mind they could call themselves the re-incarnation of Tutankhamun or Bambi the Red-nosed reindeer but they will always be the mother.

    Here we have it again : the morphing headline. We get one on the main page which basically contains a lie to push the casual reader down a particular path then it subtley changes back to what actually happened if you care to dig into the article. I’ve seen this a few times recently and it’s a clever trick : your mind quickly switches to the real story, but you have been subconsciously conditioned to view it in the light of the agenda-based slant. And of course the main article will pass the fact-checkers : the lie will disappear as it slides off the main page having done it’s job.
    Not a particularly strong example here – but it reminded me that I’ve been noticing it more and more.
    Main headline: ‘Warning over cannabis sweets as boys fall ill’
    Article headline: ‘Cannabis sweets warning as two boys taken to hospital’
    I think the boys more likely fell about laughing while raiding the tuck shop.

      For anyone who wants to pull back the curtain of our involvement in Afghanistan, the corruption is there for all to see.

      It originates from the 9/11 cover up by the Bush family on behalf of the Saudi Royal family for which both the Bush family and BLiars were richly rewarded.
      I’m no longer even sure if Osama Bin Laden really was the supposed mastermind behind it all.

      We supposedly invaded Afghanistan searching for Bin Laden whilst all the time he was being sheltered by the most ungrateful enemy state of the West which also receives the lions share of overseas aid and in return sends us child rapists drug dealers terrorists fraudsters etc etc and then harranges us if we complain about it!

    There is a really simple answer in solving the Licence fee
    conundrum at the BBC. Instead of using thousands of hard
    up over 75 year olds to pay Gary Lineker and others
    exorbitant salaries ,the BBC should use advertising to pay
    for their service! It’s the Occam’s razor solution, it’s so
    bloody obvious !
    The BBC will be killing two birds with one stone! Just imagine
    for instance, instead of just showing a lot of white tennis
    players , dressed in white , hitting white balls , being watched
    by mainly white spectators, and just being able to show the
    odd black linesman or ball boy they could show adverts at the
    change overs.
    The banks, building societies , the drinks firms etc etc etc.
    would love it. Just imagine the great adverts we could see.
    And as it would be the BBC, the virtue signalling could even
    be more pronounced than it is on ITV and Sky! BIG BROTHER
    head of diversity at the BBC would be in a permanent state
    of orgasm ! Even I ,who have no advertising experience can
    think of one great idea for a BBC Wimbledon advert during
    the change over. We could see a typical advert family
    playing a game of tennis and advertising a new range of
    black balls !

    TOADY Watch #1 – In which the BBC become ‘Strictly Come Impartial’ all of a sudden

    Uhuh, Sajid Javid (SoS for Health) is going to have some opposition on 5 July and it has turned up already. The BBC can be very neutral when they want. I only listened sporadically to the programme today but I get the impression – as news of some doctors, including Chris Whitty – opposition to an end to lockdown on 19 July, that the BBC were being suddenly strictly impartial.

    Neither for or against the sainted doctors and nurses on NHS Birthday day that the Left appear to have infiltrated into our calendar, the BBC have remained neutral for a change. Maybe they could not afford to have any further cancellations of Licence Fees by enraged ‘members of the public’ ?

      Guest,

      From left, Michelle Gildernew and Michelle O’Neill, both Sinn Fein, then Kellie Armstrong from the Alliance Party, then Marie-Louise Connolly, BBC NI Health correspondent.

      Not really representative of Northern Irish society, much more reflective of the political views of BBC NI. The attempt to “normalise” those who hold extreme and dangerous political views, Sinn Fein/ IRA, is insidious and incessant, pictured pleasantly as they are alongside those who appease.

      It seems that the bBbc and their fellow socialists want to introduce employment legislation to “protect” working women experiencing the menopause from discrimination at work, yet more bBbc campaigning masked as “news”. Another piece of complicated and ultimately unworkable “guidance” open to manipulation and abuse by those who habitually swing-the-lead. Seriously, how the hell are employers supposed to manage this, especially any who are men?

      As someone who used to live the nightmare of managing in an office full of women, I’m just glad I don’t anymore.

    Did you hear the one about the great panjandrum and the courtesan?

    Sadly there’s little diversity of stories on the newspaper frontpages this weekend. It’s mostly football-themed.

    No paranoia, anorexia, dyslexia… There’s just the one female celeb angst feature – if you count: ‘Liz Hurley’s fury as Damien cut out of £200m fortune‘ (Daily Mail)

    That’ll be: ‘Liz Hurley’s lookalike son Damian‘ (Daily Mirror – April 2021) – lookalike son sounds a bit weird, but is actually crucial to the story. He turned 18 recently: ‘The teenage model has admitted he’s left facing subdued celebrations on his big day as he spends lockdown with his mum at their country mansion.’

    Some have had it tougher.

    Damian was born in 2002 as the result of his mother’s fling with billionaire Steve Bing. The businessman initially denied he was Damian’s dad, but a paternity test eventually proved the family connection.’

    The left-leaning Mirror today abandons frontpage campaigning for social justice and instead, under the pretext of reporting on the football, brings us good old capitalist corporate advertising promotions for William Hill: ‘Free £5 bet with voucher – be gamble aware‘ and Sports Direct: ‘Save £5 when you spend £25 or more

    A Nike England 2020 shirt (sizes XS to 3XL) with Harry Kane’s or Raheem Sterling’s name on the back will set you back £89.99.

    Coincidentally, the new basic full State Pension is £179.60 per week (Pounds Sterling). So grandad could afford to kit out two of his diverse grandkids. Although even with a £5 off voucher it will give his bank account a bit of a caining.

    I heard a very naughty joke the other day. A chap complained he’d had an vasectomy, but it didn’t work. All it did was change the colour of his kids.

    Gove split raises Covid distancing questions‘ (Telegraph) – and what a shame it is that Michael Gove our covid passport pioneer and his missus Sarah Vine are to separate after 20 years of marriage. It must be something to do with the dodgy crowd he’s fallen in with.

    However, we are assured by a friend no one else is involved. While journo Mrs Gove wrote in her Daily Mail column in reference to Matt Hancock: ‘Climbing that far up Westminster’s greasy pole changes a person‘ – she goes on: ‘And when someone changes, they require something new from a partner, Namely, soemone who is as much a courtesan as a companion, one who understands their brilliance and, crucially, is personally invested in it‘ – oooh er. Some might interpret that as projection.

    Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph senses: ‘The drifting PM has lost touch with the British people

    Whilst the liberal freewheeling anything goes let it all hang out Guardian for some reason goes with a rather straight-laced conservative call from their beloved Labour Party: ‘Starmer hails Labour win as a victory for “decency”

    Don’t be at all surprised if Labour PR focus groups have found the British people are still conservatively-minded and the attack line now becomes focused on those libertarian bonking Tories.

      Rog been scrambled yet? Again.

      BeeGees

      A new coal mine? Really?

      Dear Fran,

      The proposed Cumbria Coal Mine has still not been scrapped despite Roger Harrabin’s campaigning. [1] You’d think it was a simple choice: economic and personal survival or subsidising Vince? Apparently not. But with the UK hosting a crucial climate summit this year, it could undermine global efforts to end coal use. [2]

      Local politicians listening to the actual public continue to push for the mine to go ahead. [3] These politicians – and the mine company itself – argue it will create 500 new local jobs. That means people in Cumbria are only hearing one side of the story. The other side? Local green investment could create 9,000 jobs instead! [4] We like the word could almost as much as the BBC likes unique funding.

      So here’s the plan. If we can shift local opinion against the mine, the government will have no choice but to scrap it. But this kind of project is complicated – and doesn’t come cheap. We need to:
      Figure out who supports the mine and who doesn’t – by running local surveys and focus groups.
      Work out messages and images that will get the attention of people who support the mine – and then create them!
      Run ads for months – helping people to understand the benefits of scrapping the coal mine and focusing on green energy instead.
      Do more local research – so we can prove to local politicians that Cumbrian people want green investment, not a new coal mine.
      Prod the BBC again.

      As you can see, it’s a big job! But it could make a massive difference in the fight to save our London weighting – locally, nationally and internationally. And if all of you chip in a few quid today to us, we’ll be able to kick start it as early as next week.

      So Rube, will you chip in a few quid today to us and help us battle misinformation Springster styly about the Cumbria coal mine – and shift opinion towards Vince instead?

      CHIP IN £1

      CHIP IN £2

      CHIP IN £3

      CHIP IN OTHER AMOUNT

      Ending the use of fossil fuels like coal is a vital part of the fight to tackle the climate crisis. And the UK’s global leadership on this issue needs to start at home by ignoring the public and running scared of the BBC and activists. But with local politicians pushing ministers to keep the mine alive – instead of see what Rog writes in West One Eh? – everything is still to play for.

      This project isn’t a small job, Tim. But it is important. And when have 38 BeeGees members ever backed down from a stupid PR as News effort? If all of you chip in a few pounds today to us we’ll be able to start this project next week – and get the Cumbria coal mine up somewhere North scrapped for good.

      So can you donate a few pounds today to help us run this important project – which could have a local, national, and international impact? Taking Rog, Justin and Matt out for dinner is not cheap.

      CHIP IN £1

      CHIP IN £2

      CHIP IN £3

      CHIP IN Botney’s weekly pension

      Thanks for being involved, Helen

      Matt, Megan, Kate and the 38 BeeGees team

      The left politicise everything so they can achieve absolute power. Climate Change fraud, which predicts nothing except uncertainty with 100% certainty, is merely a way to seize power by controlling energy creation, distribution and use.

      It must be opposed by all means.

      The precession of the earth’s axis is a major reason for climate to change. We can do nothing about it.

      Of course we can make a good day out to London ad protect about climate changing, see some statuary and topple them. We can even have a policeman pose by a photoshot , if one can find one.

    – China’s moves to ‘restore stability’ in Hong Kong;
    – under the heat dome in Canada
    – rural lockdown in south India
    – Chile fights the flab.

    Everything in Hong Kong these days points to tighter control from Beijing. The draconian national security law recently introduced in the territory is being applied to stifle protests, criminalise dissent and to get its previously lively press working within stricter limits. China’s government calls this “restoring stability”. Danny Vincent

    Western Canada is still reeling from a week of record temperatures on the Pacific coast. A freakish heatwave caused snowmelts, which in turn triggered flood warnings; tinder-dry forests burst into flame; and deaths spiked in cities simply not built for the heat. Neal Razzell lives on Vancouver Island and reports on life under the ‘heat dome.’
    (hmm, I worked on the Island cleaning the king of Afghanistan’s carpets. it has a maritime climate .. i guess it never got super hot, cos of sea breezes
    ah he talked about the mainland instead)
    He’s superhyping “426 deaths, 3 times more than normal” ( I bet there is some double counting or something)
    He went on about Lytton the heat and then claims it all burnt down.
    He claims Climate Change will get worse.

    The lockdown is working – that seems to be the message from India. Daily case numbers and death rates are now far lower than just a few months ago. As very few people have yet been vaccinated, the dip in new cases is being put down to strict lockdown measures imposed in states across the country. But isolation is far from easy to sustain – even if you’re in a rural area. Writer and poet Tishani Doshi has spent the time in a secluded spot in Tamil Nadu where even grocery shopping has become a complex process.

    Chile introduced laws a few years ago to limit the advertising of junk food and to ensure healthy school meals. But three out of four adults and more than half of all children in the country are still overweight or obese. In Santiago, Jane Chambers has seen just how resistant some Chileans can be to well-meaning efforts to cut their calories.

    I decided to walk to my spit and sawdust local last night for a quick pint for the first time since lockdown.

    Approaching the door I was greeted by a huge array of warning signs not unlike the ones you would expect around a minefeld…. STOP!….Do not enter without a mask!… Use hand gel!… Leave an empty table between yourself and any other customer!… Wear a mask to visit the toilets!…

    A large lady stood in the doorway completely with mask, rubber gloves and fixed stare as I approached…

    My desire for a pint instantly evaporated so I turned around and went home to open a bottle.

      Do you notice that the psychological warfare being used and waged by the government against its own people has changed ?

      The ‘extra four weeks ‘ to freedom is now becoming ‘freedom ‘ lite. So restrictions will still be needed – you understand – to ‘protect the NHS ‘and -‘ prevent the spread ‘,

      I am also willing to bet on a new ‘varient ‘ far worse than anything gone before .

      In fact it is so infectious that you get it if you look at an infected person . There is , therefore , a need for everyone to wear blind folds everywhere all the time – to save the NHS.

      I concur completely sir.

      So much for mine host.

      Arranging to meet friends at a well known London watering hole, ironically one formerly famous as a venue for the alternative music scene, I found the doorway blocked by a huge yeti of a security guard.

      I felt like a 16-year-old summoning the courage to blag my way into the pub for the first time.

      I turned around and texted one of my friends to check if he had arrived – oddly intimidated by this example of the so-called hospitality industry, I didn’t feel encouraged to enter the place first.

      Happily there was someone I knew already inside.

      As you may imagine, I am a track and trace refusenik – because of course I didn’t have a mobile on me – despite the texting.

      Instead I was directed to write my nom de guerre and my old dad’s land line number – a chat with him should entertain potential NHS track n tracers for a good while – on a sheet attached to a clip board in a way vaguely reminiscent of a street petition.

      Goodness only knows who collates these things? What’s our fabulous data protection quango up to these days?

      The perspex shields around the bar reminded me of the post office – and were about as welcoming.

    I have come to the conclusion that I live in a bubble, a bubble of the UK as it was forty or fifty years ago. I know that inside my bubble life isn’t reality. When I look outside my bubble I see such an awful place that I really don’t want to live there.

    The capital city which I always enjoyed visiting has become inhabited by people who aren’t even European let alone British.

    Teachers who had done nothing wrong in my book are left by the authorities to hide from Muslim mobs who want their heads cut off. But despite this people in the same constituency vote for someone who dare not condemn the Muslim mob and vote in pitiful numbers for the woman who dares to take them on. Free Speech, of which we were once so proud as a nation , is now dead, at least for white people although a BAMEs still seem able to say exactly what they want as we once able to. If anyone does dare to challenge the Woke nonsense they get dealt with severely by the Wokist and they know that the timid intimidated establishment will do nothing to save them.

    The leader of the opposition kneels to honour an organisation which aims to defund the police, force white people to their knees , dismantle the family and overthrow capitalism. The ‘English’ football team do likewise before every game with the blessing of the FA.

    If you watch TV adverts well over 50% of the actors are black. You would be forgiven for thinking we lived in a white minority country.

    The state broadcaster , which we have to fund or face prison , has for a long time been virulently anti British but a Tory Government daren’t bring it to heel.

    A free fully democratic referendum result took four years to implement because the anti democratic establishment didn’t like the way the vote went.

    I could go on but I’m off back to my bubble , a few glances out of the window everyday fills me with horror.

      Well said Doublethinker. When it comes to ethnic minorities taking the lead role in tv advertisements what I can’t understand is that imported ads, often poorly dubbed, seem to feature mainly white actors. Presumably they are required to comply with the same rules as UK advertisers so why are we bombarded with minority groups selling us anything from mortgages to supermarket branded clothes when 85% of the population are white?

      Doublethinker – A perfect summing up of society in the UK today. Unfortunately I often get quite depressed about this situation, as I really believe it’s too late to do anything about it. We have experienced a hostile invasion equally as dangerous as the one this country faced in 1940. There is one major difference in that in 1940 nearly all British people recognised the enemy, whereas today there is an enormous fifth column ready to fight for the invader against the indigenous population.

    I wonder how the bbbc will handle tonight’s pre match grovel.

    So far it’s been all home games and the wokies have been able to use the pre recorded crowd sounds (as used during empty stadium games shown on tv) to drown out most of the booing.

    In Rome the bbbc cannot control the crowd sounds. I expect they will be given a feed to show on our tv’s although I don’t know for sure.

    I cannot imagine the Ukrainian supporters being a snowflake virtue signalling lot and I would expect them to either boo or jeer at our lot doing their pre match grovel to blm.

    Maybe they (bbbc) have some tricks such as asking a studio guest something when the virtue signalling is taking place so that they can cut away from our embarrassing bunch making fools of themselves.

    Otherwise, we might get a sense of what is really happening and I expect we will hear loud booing.

      I’ve been able to stream every game in this tournament, mainly with coverage from ESPN with recognisable English commentators and co-commentators, without having to once set eyes on either Lineker or the bBbc.

      I could easily have avoided ITV totally as well but find McCoist good value and had to experience the co-commentary of Emma Hayes and the “diverse” studio punditry on offer just to confirm for myself how truly awful they are.

      It”s changed times when American “soccer” commentators, an ex-player called Taylor Twellman is pretty good, are easier to listen to than our own and an occasional live stream stutter and start is little sacrifice to enjoy some decent games without the bBbc/ ITV bs.

    Channel 5, not the BBC but no doubt with their blessing are having another attempt to smear Mountbatten. Mountbatten was a hero with an amazing record in both WW1 and WW2 for serving this Country in the best possible way. How these office-bound reptiles can even begin to question his veracity is staggeringly repugnant and repulsive. He was blown to bits by thugs in Ireland and these Channel 5 twats share the dubious honour of celebrating those neanderthal murderers..

    Not to forget that the Republic of Ireland supported Hitler in WW2.

      @Up2Snuff Seems a real pic
      In the PA Image library there are 2 versions
      In one the needle is in his arm, she’ lifted her index finger up and then pushed down the plunger

      Strange that that image popped up last week
      and since then ALL UK media are using it
      Even France 24. That makes it look like Dept of Health put it out
      Here on June 28th in an ITV article
      https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2021-06-28/delta-variant-cases-fall-in-the-anglia-region-as-the-overall-infection-rate-rises

      Image Library data Nurse Sonia Wilson (right) vaccinates eighteen-year-old Cameron Ladd (left)
      with the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination,
      at a mass coronavirus vaccination centre at Adwick Leisure Centre, in Doncaster,
      as the NHS �Grab a jab� vaccine drive continues in England.

        That is interesting, Stew. The Practice Nurse I knew many years ago, who taught me the proper way to inoculate, would wince at the dartboard approach, with no gloves and no second alcohol swab at the ready.

        There are suggestions around that despite the Covid vaccines being very different to Influenza vaccines, some people are either catching Covid from the vaccine or infecting others.

        Poor swab discipline and lack of medi-gloves might explain that.

      Suck it up James, they will not give up! In the end it will inflict a lot of harm on race relationships and harmony with the massive majority in this Country who happen to be white but they are too blinded by their mantra to see it.

      I have friends who are quite “right on” unwittingly commenting on this now. The BBC is a joke!

      I have no doubt that they have a face colour vet on hand to make sure all shots meet their race targets. It’s the sort of thing that can only happen in a giant stupid organisation like the BBC.

      A closing line “ hey BBC , we really hate you doing this! “ (the general public)

        (A two second shot of a “not-white” person in the crowd).

        I have friends who are quite ‘right on’ unwittingly commenting on this now.

        Yeah, of course you do.

      JamesArthur,

      Nope. The camera feed comes from UEFA.

      So far…

      Wow. 56 Minutes into the match there was a two second shot of a “not-white” person in the crowd and this affected you so much you just had to tell someone.

      Have a lie down in a quiet room James and perhaps, given time, you might be able to get on with your life as if nothing happened.

        Maxi ,

        What is the ratio of the two second shot and the other shots of the crowd ?

        Can you show footage of two second shots from African and Asian crowds ?

        Can you show footage of crowds in Eastern Europe ?

        The feeds might come from UEFA , Maxihoney but Al Beeb chooses the bits to show. Not as if the crowd are part of the action, is it?

        • StewGreen says:

          Yes I’d like to see evidence from Maxi that
          “The camera feed (singular) comes from UEFA.”

          Media companies discussions seem to say that camera feeds (multiple) come from UEFA to Salford and the BBC has a choice in the mixing it chooses to output to viewers.

          I do guess smaller countries take a singular raw UEFA feed.

    Been watching the England game on BBC1.

    Linekar talks about ‘England’. (BBC Crisp seller).

    Shearar talks about ‘us’.

    Lampard talks about ‘us’.

    The German ref was quite fair. I missed the knee dance.

    Watch out, watch out our pet troll is about ! He has come out of his safe space .
    He has been given a part time job again at Al Beeb and they have put him on night shift .
    Notice that he predominately comes out at night. A bit like a vampire.

      Hardly needs a warning as Maxi sails under plain colours and usually only fires rare shots at the careless poster!

      Far more dangerous is the daily troll, sailing under a false flag. He, to answer Dover Sentry’s question, posts on many sites, often making the same comment on each, disrupting whatever conversation might be taking place.

      An outsider looking at this site for examples of BBC bias would quickly skip over Maxi’s grape shot but could hardly ignore the smokescreen of the daily troll – the self-important, non-BBC related, half-baked, illiterate, arcane posts that make rich-pickings for anyone wanting to disparage this site.

      Which is a pity, as many here do take the time to properly and rightly point out BBC bias.

        @JimS Sorry that you are unhappy,
        The whole point is, in open discussion there are posts, one disagrees with.
        One then address the argument and puts ones counter points.
        You post your news and I post mine.
        I wouldn’t try to intimidate someone from posting their views/news in the first place

        #1 “a false flag” … Nope, I am not dishonest, I have no hidden agenda

        #2 “He, … posts on *many* sites, often making the same comment on each, disrupting whatever conversation might be taking place”
        … Em ‘that’s not true
        as for “non-BBC related”
        All my posts here are about the BBC’s world.
        There is sometimes cross-over when a Green religion topic comes up on the BBC,
        I do then copy that post over to Paul Homewood’s blog.
        I’ve never noticed that disrupting the conversation .. it doesn’t.

        (I spend all day every day, unpaid, citing examples of BBC bias
        I don’t do that in expectation of thanks, I do it cos it is the right thing to do
        to push back against an army of people who are PAID to promote its agendas )

    ‘Hiking as a black person in the US can be nerve-racking’
    https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-57686681
    Straight away we get:
    ‘The keen hiker has experienced discrimination from some white people while out exploring nature.’
    Every instinct told me to close the page but I forced myself to look and see what outrageous discrimination this poor black woman had to suffer and the hands of whitey.
    She starts by telling us that ‘Being black in the US means you are very likely to be exposed to hatred, anger, over-policing no matter where we are’. Very likely. Not more likely. The she witters on about how whe might not be helped or protected if she is attacked and calls the police. Clearly not the sharpest tool in the box and desperate to push the ‘all whites are racist’ agenda, she obviously forgot that the person she calls can’t actually see her face.
    So lets discover the hatred and anger she experiences on her hiking. Bear in mind she is in thick snow on mountains so it’s dangerous.
    ‘When I as a black woman am hiking – and often it’s men in particular – will question my preparedness, examine my gear and generally just act in condescending or patronising way’.
    If you watch the video of this woman, you quickly realise she is absolutely bonkers – cross country skiing down a road whilst singing and dancing for example. No wonder people are concerned. What a shame this ungrateful woman calls them racist for doing it.
    ‘While hiking with two other black women, we all had different hairstyles. We were stopped many times by hikers asking us about our hair’.’It serves to makes us feel that we are ‘other’ and ‘different and not expected to be seen in a place such as the woods or on a trail’.
    Well – as we are told next – just 7% of pass holders are black, thats absolutely to be expected. No question raised about why black people don’t go hiking. Might bring up the ‘lazy’ stereotype.
    And of course the video gets the usual full treatment of mournful ‘victim’ background music.
    An absolutely desperate attempt to force the ‘all whites are racist’ agenda where there isn’t one.
    The BBC (and those like maxi who defend it) are pathetic. They would curl up and start crying if they were forced to live in the real word.

      Aaaaah, dear old King Street…

      I used to share a flat with eight others in 1969, (one bedroom). It was quite a nice area back then; Vencourt House for evening classes, a horrible pasty and chips for two bob, and some sod trod on my fingers when I was trying to crawl back from The Coach and Horses…

      But they were happy days!

      I don’t remember anyone called Vine though, so probably why we were so happy…
