Start the Week 18 October 2021

Parliament returns. How will the BBC cover the political reaction to the killing of one of their colleagues ? Or the threat to the safety of everyone by failing to control who gets into the UK ?

    What is truth? Can we ever believe the BBC on anything? I guess we all know the answer.

    I think she better do more than look at them!
    As always, our supine MPs avoid the ‘White Elephant In The Room.’
    They never listen to the majority of the people of Great Britain who demand security of our borders by stopping The Channel Invasion, they just White Wash the Elephant in the Room in the hope that we won’t notice it and that it will go away.
    How many more deaths will it take for them to act ?
    Our rights take priority before the fake ECHR.
    How many more times will we hear “lessons to be learned”?

          Six months is far too long, the outfit has already broadcast so much bias over decades that it should have been scraped following its disgraceful performance during the lead up to Brexit . I am afraid she is going to follow the example of Priti by dragging her heels.

No matter what she wants to do she will only be able to do what her Sir Humphrey agrees to every thing else will be blocked .we can vote in whomever we like , as radical right as they come, but the civil service will only implement the policies they agree with. The country is run by the permanent bureaucracy not the government. This is what Trump found and its even more the case here.

      One step at a time, Islamic Jihad murders lead to the shut down of freedoms in the West. The root cause is never considered.

      The realisation that Islam and free societies cannot exist together is yet to dawn.

      I dont hold Patel responsible. She does what the PM wants. He stated before the election that he wants mass immigration to continue. Too, he is a Climate change believer. Both these policies lead to the extinction of the UK.

      Jihad and “Kindness and love”

      Kindness and love to one’s enemies works generally as most people react to it in a positive way.

      A successful Jihadi attack and the “kindness and love ” response to it, is seen by Muslims as further evidence that Allah has addled the mind of the Kuffar.

      The “kindness and love” response to a violent attack is not the norm in Muslim societies. Revenge is.

          Having an unarmed police officer in the surgery won’t change anything. It will create two targets instead of one.

          If the officer is armed, there are not enough armed police officers in the UK to protect over 600 surgeries. Being armed, they’d have to be on a shift system, and this would require over 1,200 armed officers.

          The political response as ever has not been thought through.

          Plus, terrorists just change tactics and butcher elsewhere.

            It works well. Is always present where the response is required and instantly rather then 30 minutes away.

            It works in Israel, which is where we are heading if the unrestricted immigration of Muslims as well as the fertility rate of Muslim women continues.

      Prevent is a pretend answer by managers to placate the public.

      ‘Radicalisation’ is a term intended to make us believe someone can be ‘de-radicalised’. They can’t. They have been brainwashed since birth.

      The elephant in this particular room is that ‘radicalisation’ does not create the hate. It simply provides an outlet for it.

      There seems to be a lot of elephants in a lot of rooms these days. All due to staggering levels of left-wing hypocrisy which keep stepping up a notch each time our society crumbles a little bit more.

    Absolutely as expected, the BBC are concentrating on his life and the people affected. They do not go anywhere near the reason for the murder.

    Contrast it with the completely opposite tone they took after Jo Cox got murdered. And remember, her murder was just a lone nutcase, not someone acting as part of a bigger terrorist organisation:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36550304

    ‘Mrs Cox’s husband Brendan said she would want people “to unite to fight against the hatred that killed her.”‘ and lots of graphic descriptions of her being killed to make sure everyone is properly horrifed.

    The usual extreme double standards we have come to expect from the far-Left. It also appears disgraced Brendans sexual assaults have been forgiven too now that he is of some further use.

      Jo Cox’s killer was just the tip of a ‘52%’ iceberg, if Nigel Farage hadn’t been too busy down the pub he would just as likely have done the deed.

      Similarly all those millions of people who voted for Donald Trump are now ‘domestic terrorists’.

      Quite fascinating how those who would claim to protect the ‘other’ and who talk about ‘love’ manage to do so much mass ‘othering’ and ‘hating’ isn’t it? Equally how assured they are that strangers in a RIB will do no harm but Daily Mail readers, (not writers) are all evil, no question.

    Something for Monday morning:

    Late one night a drunk guy is showing some friends around his brand-new apartment. The last stop is the bedroom, where a big brass gong sits next to the bed.
    “What’s that gong for?” the friend asks him.
    “It’s not a gong,” the drunk replies. “It’s actually a talking clock.”
    “You’re crazy. Show me how it works then!”
    The guy picks up a hammer, gives the gong an ear-shattering pound, and steps back.
    Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screams, “For God’s sake…it’s 3:30 in the goddamn morning!”

    A wife decides to take her husband to a strip club for his birthday. They arrive at the
    club and the doorman says, “Hey, Dave! How ya doin’?” His wife is puzzled and asks
    if he’s been to this club before.
    “Oh, no,” says Dave. “He’s on my bowling team.”
    When they are seated, a waitress asks Dave if he’d like his usual and brings over a
    Budweiser. His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says,”How did she
    know that you drink Budweiser?” “She’s in the Ladies’ Bowling League, honey. We
    share lanes with them.”
    A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Dave, and says
    “Hi Davey. Want your usual table dance, big boy?”
    Dave’s wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Dave follows
    and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside
    her. He tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for
    someone else, but his wife is having none of it. She is screaming at him at the top of
    her lungs, calling him every name in the book.
    The cabby turns his head and says, “Looks like you picked up a real b**ch tonight,
    Dave.”

    I get abuse and threats online – why can’t it be stopped?

    I’m the BBC’s first specialist disinformation reporter – and I receive abusive messages on social media daily. Most are too offensive to share unedited. The trigger? My coverage of the impact of online conspiracies and fake news. I expect to be challenged and criticised – but misogynistic hate directed at me has become a very regular occurrence.

    It’s not just me – from politicians around the world and Love Island stars to frontline doctors, I’ve been hearing from women subjected to the same kind of hate. New research, shared with the BBC, suggests women are more likely to receive this sort of abuse than men, it’s getting worse – and it’s often combined with racism and homophobia. I wanted to understand why this is happening, the threat it poses – and why social media sites, the police and the government aren’t doing more about it.

      Remember when the BBC started giving us the ugly words like ‘Scotland Reporter’, supposedly to avoid the confusion between a reporter of Scottish birth and a reporter of Scottish matters?

      I’m sorry but past experience of the BBC forces only one interpretation of ‘Specialist Disinformation Reporter’ on my mind, along the lines of ‘well aren’t you all?’.

      Read it whichever way one likes it comes across as a person with an agenda, not an ‘impartial’ reporter, someone who is only looking for one side of a story. Act like that and it is natural that people’s backs are put up.

      It’s like saying “And now over to our Liverpool Reporter and their thought on Man. U’s performance”.

    On Toady this morning the focus reference the murder of David Amess was all about the need for less toxic political discourse and more security for MPs. In the review of the newspapers Rick Knobson reflects this and odiously and somewhat disdainfully singled out Mail columnist Stephen Pollard for going out on a limb and against the flow.

    Let’s see how off the mark readers think Mr Pollard is.

    Quote from his Mail column.
    ‘David Amess was targeted by an islamic terrorist.
    ….Almost in its entirety, politicians and commentators have lined up to argue that the heat must be taken out of political debate……..
    But that is not, I would argue, why Sir David was killed.
    I believe Islamist terror is targeted at WHO we are – non Muslims- with the desire to impose a caliphate (effectively a Muslim state) with sharia law as the governing text. We must recognise the distinct and specific nature of this form of extremism……
    I believe too, the mistake we make all too often in responding to Islamist terror is to react as if we can somehow negate it through changes in our behaviour’
    End quote.

    I would say Mr Pollard is more on the money than all the rest of them put together.

    The evil, treacherous BBC have, very cunningly, reframed the Islamic terrorist murder of David Amess to make it about showing more kindness to our MPs.

    This would be like saying, after the Manchester Arena bombing, that we really must be nicer to our teenagers; or, after the London Bridge van attack, that we should drive more carefully; or after the Westminster Bridge attack, that we should be nicer to pedestrians on bridges; or after the 7/7 tube butchery, to please be more considerate to fellow passengers on crowded trains.

    As if Ali Harbi Ali were just a disgruntled constituent with an axe to grind about potholes in the roads or the price of cornflakes.

    No, no, no.

    This completely misses the point.
    The issue is NOT being nicer to our MPs, the issue is Islamic terrorism.

    By refusing to acknowledge that fact (in their news bulletins they don’t even mention the words Islamic or islamist) the BBC are complicit in murder.

    Defund the BBC, now!

    A few years ago I noted that in one particular year the NHS pension liability was bigger than the entire NHS expenditure on healthcare.

    Today I discover that the total public sector pension bill is bigger than the entire post-covid national debt of £2.2 trillion. You could fill in all the potholes for your electric car for that.

    This sort of stuff is sadly completely unknown and/ or unappreciated by the vast majority of taxpayers and others. And the public sector bend over backwards to keep it that way. In that regard the Tory government is just another arm of the public sector.

    The always vilified private sector workers meanwhile are feather bedding the public sector continually whilst both being brainwashed into believing how marvellous it all is and at the same time struggling to create decent pensions for themselves. And having to drive along our third world roads and much else besides.

    Think about that the next time taxes go up.

    What’s that to do with the BBC? Ask my mate who used to work for them. He retired at age 50 on a full pension. Paid for out of the licence fee.

    Nice if you can get it.

      Great description of how we’re all paying for this socialist government’s total failure to protect private enterprise, Sluff.

      Public money (our taxes) is chucked in all directions in the public sector, and yes, they do pay tax themselves, and have to buy things, so I suppose we do get something back, but getting such whopping pensions at 50 scrambles my craw.

      I know a bloke who was kicked out of BT at 50 with an enormous, eye-watering pension, golden goodbye etc, and the only joy I got was seeing him try to accomodate the commercial world without the backup of all that fat bunch of ex-civil serpents.

      There were the occasions when he would turn up at commercial events, and when everyone realised he was now a useless contact, they would drift away slowly, then with some alacrity…

      I feel great sympathy for the majority of Afghans, who are (I’m quite sure) just ordinary people, wanting to get on with their lives and hoping for better things for their children. Forcing young girls (and boys) back into the dark ages is appalling, but why is anyone surprised that the Taliban are just doing what they always have?

      Would I host Afghan refugees in my home? No, they wouldn’t live comfortably with my family, our values are too different, and besides, how would we know they weren’t violent?

      Should we bring 1000s of them to the UK? No, for the same reasons, and do we really want to risk turning our own country into exactly what they’re fleeing from?!

      If someone turned up on your doorstep infected with some deadly, incurable, and highly contagious disease would you let them in? I might give them some food and a blanket, that’s human decency, but I wouldn’t let them set foot inside.

    Ever considered that all this fluff about climate change was simply the passing fashion of our underemployed elites? The entire green movement is being pursued as some wishy-washy substitute religion?

    The Daily Mail seems to – inadvertantly – hit the nail on the head: ‘Kate’s a green goddess. Eco-glamour: Kate wears recycled Alexander McQueen at last night’s Earthshot awards

    Earthshot awards? The Earthshot Prize is a new global prize for the environment, designed to incentivise change and help to repair our planet over the next ten years.

    Earthshot… as opposed to moonshot or spaceshot? I hear Prince William – who’s career plans involve eventually starting as King and then working his way up – has poo-pooed space science.

    He won’t stop the Ruskies. BBC: ‘A Russian film crew are back on Earth after wrapping up scenes for the first movie shot in space

    Or the Chinks: ‘China fires hypersonic nuke ‘right round the Earth’ as terrifying display of advanced weapons ‘leaves US reeling’ (The Sun); ‘China secretly fires missile around the world‘ (Daily Express)

    The freebie Metro carries an apparently greenie promotion that has one scratching one’s head: ‘Earth in association with easyjet‘ – saving the planet by paying extra for your luggage? Arriving ten miles outside of your intended destination and having to take a long distance cab ride to complete your journey to sustainabilty?

    And the giveaway further tips us the wink that right-on actress Emma Watson was at the Earthshot wearing some bizarre designer creation – probably costing the earth.

    Following a week when Captain Kirk finally achieved liftoff, in a phallic-shaped space projectile, we note with concern: ‘The time has come for Doctor Who to be non-binary‘ – that’s BBC two-bit kid’s show actress Pearl Mackie quoted in the Telegraph presuming to give notes to the scriptwriters. Just read the words you’re given, luv. Meryl Streep, you ain’t.

    As the leftist culture warriors seek to infuse kids’ shows with alternative versions of sex, the Mail (a predominently female read paper) says: ‘Not tonight darling… or ever! The women who say No, No, No to sex

    One senses western society reaching a late-stage jaded androgyny combined with impotent senility. Is it by coincidence that today we read of: ‘Menopause through history‘ by Kate Lister in the ‘i’ and ‘Menopause caused a shadow over my family‘ by Lorriane Kelly in the Telegraph? Perhaps it’s Menopause History Month?

    The ‘i’ asks: ‘Why are we not more outraged by virus numbers?‘ – a heartfelt plea – the media liked it so much more when we were.

    For an alternative view, the ‘i’ also notices: ‘Scientists have let us down on Covid origins

    Staying on the theme of our world wide, obviously border non-respecting, virus epidemic, the BBC observes Scotland – since at least the Poll Tax our test bed – indeed petri dish – for ill-conceived policies: ‘Covid in Scotland: Vaccine passport scheme enforceable by law

    Our Nicola Sturgeon has been quiet for a while but I’ll borrow and recycle a travel feature title from the ‘i’ this morning as my heartfelt wish for her and her SNP: ‘Take a hike through Scottish history

    The FT are keen to relay: ‘Mecca move‘ and this is not some gambling sector corporate update: ‘Holy site lifts Covid curbs

    The BBC are anxious to share: ‘Saudi Arabia cancel social distancing and go allow worshippers enter Mecca and Medina mosques‘ – that’s BBC Pidgin, not my typos or adjacent to the spectrum dyslexia.

    And finally in football news – seems our media didn’t quite get the story they wanted: ‘Bubble burst. Reality check for Toon Army as Saudi era suffers rocky start‘ (Telegraph)

    The ‘i’ too seems to have envisaged a different result: ‘Party poopers, Spurs spoil beginning of a new era for Newscastle

    Which goes to show that despite the new mega rich arab ownership, it may still be a shalom road to success.

    I was at Speakers’ Corner yesterday afternoon. At one time this was a regular stop off point for me during my Sunday wanderings through London, listening to interesting, challenging and (sometimes) amusing speakers. It’s not like that any more…

    It was only in July that one of the regulars, Hatun Tash, a young woman who has converted to Christianity was stabbed in the neck and face. This brave young woman was back there yesterday. She preaches both the gospel and is deeply critical of Islam. The July attack was clearly an attempt at murder. Police were there, but the hooded bloke ran off and no arrests have been made. Typical.

    Yesterday there were four masked men wandering through the crowd constantly intimidating speakers they didn’t approve of.

    These blokes weren’t wearing the regular covid coverings, these were creepy full head masks from films like Scream. They looked really sinister. If there was another attack it would be impossible to identify them.

    An African chap turned up and began shouting about Muslim rapists. To be honest, he wasn’t particularly coherent, but it was difficult to to hear what he was saying because he was immediately surrounded by the four masked men who started chanting Liar, liar, liar”.

    To his credit he held his ground whereupon they began pulling him about. It was only when he eventually reacted that the police, about half a dozen of them, chased over…and arrested him!

    Just think about this…we had an attempted murder here only three months ago. On Friday we had the murder of an MP by a man we suspect of being a Jihadist… and our pathetic plod are allowing very sinister masked bullies to intimidate and assault people at Speakers’ Corner.

    This is madness…

    Apparently, according to Nick Robinson, it is the lazy, destructive cynicism of the Press that is partly to blame for the fevered political temperature and the death of Sir David Amess….and let’s not forget that Jo Cox was ‘murdered by a far-right extremist’.

    A lot of talk about the murder but none at all about the killer and his probable motivation and the, new meme of the moment, ‘background hum’ that fed his radicalisation.

    Robinson highlighted Muslim Rupa Huq’s piece in the Guardian blaming social media and political rancour…

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/17/life-security-violence-mps-david-amess-rupa-huq

    ‘There is little sympathy for politicians in modern Britain. Women and ethnic-minority MPs face the worst, visceral hatred – and I’m both.
    Social media haters are a constant background hum, though I brush them off as coming with the territory.

    We need to drain our politics of the bitter rancour: more being cross-party and less being cross.’

    Hmmmm….that’s perhaps not the problem in this case…

    Robinson then stated…

    ‘In interesting contrast is Stephen Pollard’s article in The Mail….

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10101669/STEPHEN-POLLARD-not-confuse-toxic-discourse-outrage.html

    Which is somewhat dismissive of Pollard’s piece which points out that we’re, well, the likes of Robinson are, deliberately, missing the real problem…

    ‘From the information that has so far been made public, the most important fact about the killing of Sir David Amess seems clear. It appears he was targeted by an Islamist terrorist.
    But the debate that has followed is confusing two separate issues.

    Almost in its entirety, TV and radio and some press coverage has focused on the aggressive tone of politics in recent years, and of the poison that is spread on social media.

    Politicians and commentators have lined up to argue that the heat must be taken out of political debate, that we need to restore civility and courtesy to how we conduct politics, and that we need to dial down the rancour.[Rupa HUq taake note!]

    But that is not, I would argue, why Sir David Amess was killed. I believe Islamist terror is targeted at who we are – non-Muslims – with the desire to impose a caliphate (effectively a Muslim state), with sharia law as the governing text. We must recognise the distinct and specific nature of this form of extremism.’

    The BBC is of course not at all interested in recognising the real nature of the threat as it continues to try and blame social media companies [a continuation of its campaign to neuter Facebook etc and for the BBC to dominate the news and information agenda] and the far-right.

    Robinson went on to talk to Dominic Raab who also peddled the Big Lie…Robinson made a play of looking like he was up for a debate about the real motivation as he suggested that online abuse and political rhetoric are the cause but are we making the wrong connection?…could it be Islamist and far-right[why’d he chuck that into the mix here?] radicalisation that’s the problem?….Raab quickly brushed that aside saying that it was really the toxic nature of political debate and that this provided a platform for others to jump on and claim some other issues as their motivation…when all they wanted to do was cause chaos and sew hate and division.

    Robinson didn’t bother to press him on that…and continued down the now familiar beaten path of social media hate and abuse being the problem.

    They raised Prevent’s failure to stop the killer but nowhere was Islam mentioned in a long discussion….the problem is Prevent not Islam.

    However…clearly there is a disconnect in the narrative….let’s not mention Islam as a cause of death but……

    The most disgusting headline I’ve seen for a long time. Even for the BBC.

    David Amess got murdered BBC, not Jo Cox. You have used his murder to drag up a completely unrelated murder from the very first article. Now – with his body barely cold – you have switched them completely because he was murdered by a Muslim terrorist and it doesn’t fit your narrative. So you have replaced him with one by a lone brexiteer nutter from FIVE YEARS AGO.

    Absolutely and utterly apalling. Proof beyond doubt that the BBC only care about their own agenda. I’m quite certain they wish a right-wing whitey male had done it. Jo would barely get a mention then.

    I wonder if the mp killer knows that the real reason he slaughtered Amess with a frenzied 17 stab attack was because Rayner called the Tories “scum”

    At least, that’s the message coming through loud and clear from the msm.

    Regarding having armed policemen surrounding our MPs to protect them.
    Any terrorist will simply go for another target.
    Like children at a pop concert or an off duty bandsman.
    The choice of targets is infinite.
    Can our rulers not understand this.
    It’s a ‘lesson to be learned’ as they always say.
    Still, I suppose it will shift the target group on to some other lot and away from themselves so…..a result.

    So long as our rulers continue to be in complete denial of the reasons for the slaughter regularly going on now nothing will happen. It will be forgotten. Especially as he was a Tory and therefore not a lefty.

    To fix a problem you first have to acknowledge that a problem exists and our rulers don’t appear to think there’s anything wrong.
    If they can ignore tens of thousands of raped little girls they can accept and ignore anything.

      Quite right. The lesson from 9-11 was that you cannot fight terrorism by waiting for them to attack. They will always get through. You have to deal with them at source.

      But with 40,000+ on MI5’s watch list and them holding the balance of power for the Left in the areas they have clumped together to create mini-Muslim states, it’s not going to happen.

      So we will let them keep attacking and mop up the blood quickly before anyone see it. Then the likes of the BBC will suppress the reporting of it whilst simultaneously – as in this case – trying to divert the blame onto someone else. Meanwhile we will secretly spend countless millions of taxpayers money following them around and spying on their emails.

    The wider question of course not being asked is why a minor British MP would feel it necessary to support such a country, and the answer should be obvious.
