    Some researchers believe that the use of the term by the government and the news media can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy, in which actions by authorities reinforces the apocalyptic beliefs of the group, which in turn can inspire further controversial actions. Group leaders have themselves objected to comparisons between one group and another, and parallels have been drawn between the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy and the theory of a deviancy amplification spiral.

    Emily Thornberry is not going to like Keir’s new document …

    “Nationalists like to portray themselvesas patriots. But patriotism andnationalism are not the same. In fact, theyare opposites. Nationalism representsan attempt to divide people from oneanother; patriotism is an attempt tounite people of different backgrounds.Nationalism is about the casting out ofthe other; patriotism is about findingcommon ground. Nationalism is theflag as a threat. Patriotism is the flag as acelebration.”

    The default position of the BBC and the advertising business
    is to use ethnic photos or ethnic models to represent what they
    presenting or trying to sell. Be it gas bills on the BBC internet pages
    or selling ANYTHING so far as the advertising marketing agencies are concerned. The UK is still has a
    demographically 80% indigenous population. Somebody please explain to me
    what is going on with these organizations?

      I think it’s a sort of ‘madness of crowds ‘ thing where they all sit about trying to outwoke each other because they think this gets them more approval ….
      ……it’s the same mentality which changes batsman into ‘bat person ‘
      Somewhere there is one hypersensitive loon who is ‘offended ‘by the term batsman – and a whole historic culture is changed at the drop of a bale to accommodate them .

      As for the demography of those thousands of adds with coloured of various brands – all it does for me is to positively avoid them ….

      “I am not your negro”

      Perhaps when companies advertise, they should reflect on the fact that an advert doesn’t just target the people they want to sell to – it also identifies the people they do not want to sell to. General advertising should broadly reflect the demographics of the country as a whole. So, for example, in an advert featuring a crowd of people you might expect to see a representative selection of ages, races and genders (both of them), depending on the product. But when you see an advertisement that features only or predominately black people, such that it appears to be more suitable for Nigeria or South Africa, vast numbers of people think to themselves: “Right, you don’t want my business, so I’ll go elsewhere.” This also applies to television programmes and movies.

      So be more specific, 96.5% of the population are not black.
      98.5% of the population are not homosexual.
      99.99% of the population are not men wanting to be women or vice versa.
      99.999% of the population are not drag queens.

    A new book confirms that Hunter Biden’s ‘laptop from hell’ was genuine, with all its incriminating contents about the crackhead’s shady dealings with Ukraine and China, and that implicated Joe Biden – referred to as ‘the big guy’ getting a 10% cut.

    At any other time, with any other candidate, the story would have been huge, and would have sunk his chances at the polls. Sleazy photos of drug abuse and prostitutes would have been front-page on all the papers.
    With Trump it would have dominated the media for months, and every detail gone over with a fine-tooth comb.

    There is a double scandal here: firstly the crooked dealings themselves; but secondly, perhaps even worse, is the absolute conspiracy of silence by the msm – including our own vile BBC – who either ignored the story completely or dismissed it as a conspiracy.

    The real conspiracy was by the despicable media and Big Tech.

    Result: The Imbecile in the White House, the catastrophe of Afghanistan, the disaster on the Southern border in the US, rampant leftist policies, and, as far as we’re concerned, an Anglophobe President who’s put us at the back of the queue for any trade deal. And who knows what to come.

    Well done, Beeb, I hope you’re proud.

      The mysterious phrase from the May 2017 message, examined by DailyMail.com in July, has been interpreted as a proposal for Hunter to hold 10 percent of the shares in the joint venture on behalf of his father, who is referred to as ‘the big guy’ in several other emails on the laptop.

      The USA’s “”usual suspect” Democrat operated media’s efforts to tamp down the Hunter issue are simply putrid.

      I’ve watched CNN and MSNBC folk “at it” and find myself balling my fists… He’s an out of control crack head spinning off much stuff that is par for the crack head course – but he’s not some random person from the suburbs who’s derailed due to crack – is he?

      Joe Biden is bent – the evidence is in plain sight and CNN, MSNBC et al just keep on spewing lies and misdirection – and the BBC know what’s going on and keep tippy-toeing around it in an all too typical prissy manner.

      We saw that the DNC actually write the US “liberal” MSM’s scripts in 2016 (and beyond) – yet that fact is assiduously swerved by most of those on the BBC’s payroll.

      I see Katty Kay has jumped from the BBC to a full bore CNN-MSNBC gig.

    Many societies throughout history have practised slavery, and Muslim societies were no exception.

    It’s thought that as many people were enslaved in the Eastern slave trade as in the Atlantic slave trade.

    It’s ironic that when the Atlantic slave trade was abolished the Eastern trade expanded, suggesting that for some Africans the abolition of the Atlantic trade didn’t lead to freedom, but merely changed their slave destination.

    It’s misleading to use phrases such as ‘Islamic slavery’ and ‘Muslim slave trade’, even though slavery existed in many Muslim cultures at various times, since the Atlantic slave trade is not called the Christian slave trade, even though most of those responsible for it were Christians.

    In my experience people often don’t fully see how this is different from the decolonising the
    curriculum agenda particularly because, in many ways, it leads to some of the same things
    in practice (diversifying reading lists, paying attention to pedagogical practice and
    assessment). Discussing this at UCL, some students and staff favoured ‘decolonisation’
    over ‘inclusivity’ because an ‘inclusive curriculum’ or ‘diverse curriculum’ suggests that
    ‘outsiders’ could ‘join the club’ and that their views ‘could be incorporated’ rather than a far
    more radical questioning of the cannon itself and the cultural authority that it is imbued with.
    It is the questioning of the moral authority of the cannon itself which I think is at the heart of
    the difference.

    “The Respondent’s conduct deserves a clear and formal reprimand, which we now pronounce. The Respondent’s conduct to the complainant was hostile, sustained, harmful and unworthy of a Member of Parliament. He should be ashamed of his behaviour.”

    Bug Lives Matter …..

    Yet Bridget Benelam, communications manager at the British Nutrition Foundation, says more research is still needed. She echoes Prof May’s concerns about potential allergies, saying some people may be allergic to eating insects in the same way that others have an adverse reaction to shellfish.

    She points out that some unanswered questions remain around the safety of consuming some types of insect, which could potentially transfer toxins or pesticides to humans. “These are some of the barriers that need to be overcome if eating insects is to become truly mainstream.”

    I am not against a fairer more generous approach to other nations be that in trade/aid etc.
    What I utterly object to is the notion that immigration with benefits is a right for any world citizen. I specifically voted to stop this and it hasn’t stopped. In addition we have continued to denude ourselves of self sufficiency to the point that other nations acting out of self interest can blackmail this nation.
    It is utterly insane to voluntarily leave your nation open to blackmail be that driven out of Military Power or Fuel/Food reliance.
    We have been heading in this direction for decades and I have never knowingly voted for it.

    Isn’t this thread supposed to be Midweek Thread 22 September 2021?

    Just lately this site is reading more like a back-catalogue from previous years.

    It would be nice to think that meant that the BBC is now totally impartial.

      You had me worried there – sometimes – as I am tired and emotional and it’s late I sometimes get the date wrong- 2123- for instance – and nothing has changed .

      It’s a long slog – and sometimes as tough as trying to get a Right Wing Government with an 80 majority ….

    Since things at the BBC have been near non existent on the Sweden front at the BBC for some time – I wonder if Sweden apparently announcing they will NOT be implementing covid passports + in a few days almost all remaining restrictions will be removed will be fact checked.

    Where’s wossername when you need some fake news checking?

      BBC fails to follow up on a refugee related News story … BBC £3.5bn Search for ‘Maria Freiburg’

      … sorry if this makes you feel sick or generates hatred, but why aren’t the BBC interested in Maria Ladenburge’s killer being brought to justice and why the killer did it ….

      The Trial of Hussein Khavari (murdered Maria Ladenburge) Becomes Even More Sordid {gatesofvienna.net sep2017}

      The accused entered the courtroom with shackles on hands and feet at 9:05am. First he read out loud a letter of apology, and he asked the family of the murdered Maria Ladenburger for forgiveness, Focus reports.

      “I wish I could undo everything. What I have done, I am deeply sad about that from the bottom of my heart.” (Hussein K.)

      Then he went on to recount the events of the night of the murder:

      He had been drinking with three friends and he had smoked hashish. Because he was extremely drunk, he was thrown out of the bar. At some time after that, he was on his way home. At the [river] Dreisam, the girl on her bicycle approached him.

      He kicked against the bicycle, which caused the girl to fall off. She screamed. He held her mouth shut. Then he strangled her with her shawl until she was unconscious.

      “When I saw how pretty she was, I wanted to have sex with her.” (Hussein K.)

      Apparently he thought that he had already strangled her to death. The judge questioned him concerning “sex with a dead girl,” and the offender said:

      “It didn’t bother me to have sex with a dead girl.” (Hussein K.)

      According to his testimony he was too drunk to achieve an erection, so he inserted his hand. Since he had a previous injury from a bicycle accident, he pulled her into the river to wash his blood from her body. There he left her and fled.

      BBC Last Touched on this story “Afghan murder suspect in Germany was jailed in Greece (convicted of attempted murder in Greece)” {bbc.co.uk dec2016}
      Germans were outraged by the murder of Maria L, a student in Freiburg who volunteered for a refugee charity.
      He was given a 10 year-sentence but was apparently freed after about 18 months.

    Daily Telegraph reports that one Andrew Neill has said he will never appear on GBNews again

    Not a good look for a journo to become the story – bit too much like BBC types

    I guess he is off to work for his daddy – mr Rupert Murdock at NewsGB ….

      I suspect Andrew spent too long with the rotten Beeb and got corrupted by them. In recent days he’s been accusing Fox and GB News of being too right-wing and dealing in fake news and conspiracies.

      GB News might be better off without him.

        I’ve always seen a streak of peremptory arrogance in Neil’s behaviour – his assiduous research and careful questions mark him out from most of his peers – but he’s been clever enough to hide what he believes himself and I don’t think we’ve had an honest accounting of the reasons for his departure from GBNews.

        I kind-of assumed it was some health / life-work balance issue that precipitated his departure – but it’s now looking altogether murkier.

        One can imagine that egos are at stake… GBN CEO Angelos Frangopoulos comes from Sky News Australia – not a channel noted for backing down from confrontation.

        Some head butting, nose tweaking and shin kicking behind the scenes seems a slam dunk certainty 🙂

      So far I ignored the claim about Neil
      cos “according to a story in the Telegraph”
      isn’t the extraordinary evidence
      to prove the extraordinary claim.

    The BBC indulging in a spot of black/ slavery porn. I hope they have a box of Kleenex to hand.

    “Shocking images of horse-mounted officers corralling Haitian migrants along the US-Mexico border are evoking dark comparisons to US slavery and the country’s historical mistreatment of black people.”

    Or: Border police doing their job.

    (That’s not a whip by the way, as first reported by the salivating race baiters. It’s the horse’s reins.)

    Local BBC news opens by playing Boris’s climate speech
    as an intro into item about Raithlin Energy oil field.
    Their shocking headline was
    “OMG during a Climate Crisis the council planning dept will not object to the oil field”

    ..emm that is NOT news
    The planning depart merely has a list of tick boxes
    eg what’s the number of lorry movements ?
    Has a risk assessment been done ?
    etc.
    The fact is the company has met the tickboxes
    means the planning dept can’t object.
    The real news is in 10 days time when the councillors vote.
    So today’s item is just PR to help the objectors next week.
    The presenter said ‘lookat this windfarm next door”

    The argument is
    : ‘Oh oil scary, scary’
    vs ‘there are 285 million barrels in the field’
    if they take out 100 million at $100/barrel
    that’s $10bn in revenue flowing through the local economy
    Plus whatever mining tax which could run into billions of pounds too.

    She would say that wouldn’t she .
    In a nutshell, we are being invaded and our Muppet Government does nothing. This lot will go down in infamy for not defending our borders, the very reason we got out of the EU .
    We are in need a new government to save us before we face a disaster of magnitude proportions.

      People like the BBC would cherrypick
      the graph for 2009- 2012
      that show a fall from 47% ice coverage to just 20%

      But you could start the graph at the 20% in 2012 o show an almost constant rise to 51% in 2021

      My guess is that instead of cherrypicking one quarter of the Arctic you should consider the whole.
      Cos in a year that one quarter is high another quarter is probably low.
