Start the Week 15 November 2021

It seems Remembrance Sunday has seen another terrorist attack . Nothing is sacred . Will the BBC give it the coverage it deserves or do its’ normal censorship in the name of ‘community relations ‘ ?

    With what?
    Why?

    Just read Femi’s latest tweet.

    Why is the media simply a collection of male and female lady parts who think they are worth paying to listen to?

    I can’t say I’m surprised that Boris is falling in the polls with the Tories.
    The reason the Tories were voted in is overwhelmingly because they were see as the only viable party to get brexit done.
    Now that it’s (sort of) done there’s little difference between the parties.

    I would love Richard Tice to be voted in at the by election but we seem to only vote labour or Tory no matter what even though they are the same. The libdems being a mini protest vote.

    What would it take to get a proper right wing party elected instead of all the left wing ones.
    At least those parties on the right should get together to form a sort of coalition instead of taking votes off each other.

    You would think now is a good time for lesser parties to increase their vote with everybody from the prime minister and her husband to all the others being looked on as bent and corrupt, in the pockets of the rich, second (and more) jobs and basically being in it for themselves.
    They certainly don’t do what the population want, just look at the current channel invasion (only available on GB News)

    If Tice somehow done really well it may just possibly be the beginning of the end for the current pile of crap where you can count the good ones on the fingers of one hand.

      It’s a one party state and those who are sensible enough to admit it know this to be true. The Brexit party gained 5.5 million votes at the last election and not one single seat meaning those people have no representation at all.

      The only way is to either withold your vote or to vote for one of the extreme fringe parties to annoy the uniparty, however if you look at the scorn hate and disdain the uniparty poured on the voters who elected Nick Griffin to the EU parliament you would know these people HATE the electorate even when they vote for them !

      Unfortunately it won’t happen because some are more cowardly re e.g. the ROP than others and want to protect themselves from being called nasty names and being de-platformed. What they fail to accept is that this is happening/will happen to them anyway.

      EG

      That is the question.

      I don’t know how we get a proper right wing party. However, I do think that when we see countries like Hungary and Poland adopt strong and successful policies on immigration and border control and have zero Islamic terrorism as a result, we at least begin to see solutions to problems that we thought insoluble. When we see popular and effective conservative politicians like Ron DeSantis in Florida, it can shake us out of our pessimism and despair and make us believe that strong leaders can emerge to free us from the woke madness.

      Brexit and the election of Trump gave hope to conservative movements in other parts of the world. We in turn must keep an eye out for successful models and policies elsewhere, highlight them, and draw inspiration from them. A new party must have a vision that the electorate knows is not just desirable but achievable.

    Once I see bias, I see it in every little thing. The bbc normally go to great lengths to deflect any accusations of wrongdoing by muslims. Names and other details are withheld, permanently if possible, or at least until the story is off the front page. On this occasion, virtually the first thing they did was name the taxi driver and “praise” him for his heroic act in locking the doors of the cab before bailing out. Undeniable bravery and I would have been offski in a blink. I wouldn’t have thought about anybody’s life but my own.All credit to the man. Our impartial broadcaster, though, may as well have headlined “Cab driver thwarts brave jihad act; here’s his name so the enemy know who to look for”. If he comes to any harm the bbc will have blood on their hands. Someone should swing for this. It’s almost a job application for a bounty hunter.
    Get onto it today Boris.

    This reveals that the authors are in fact activists for an organisation called Progressive International

    It take seconds on their website to realise they are basically full-blown communists calling for a Global Marxist revolution, redistribution of wealth to their most supporting and currently poor nations and the end of private capital which they would then head up to control the entire globe.

    Salient statement:

    “The Progressive International convenes activists, thinkers, and practitioners to develop the principles and policies of a progressive international order.”

    The BBC has learned. Labour has called. There will be a vote in the House this afternoon and Owen Paterson will be hung, drawn and quartered by his Party, the Conservatives. So many Conservative MPs were upset at being whipped to vote against Kathryn Stone’s report into their fellow MP that it is certain that many will abstain or be absent from the House for the debate and vote or this time may vote to accept the report.

    UK BAD.

    Mukaddes Yadigar is a Uyghur entrepreneur who has been living in the UK since 2011.

    In London, she has two restaurants devoted to Uyghur cuisine. Every month, she holds events there to celebrate the food, music and dances of her people – to ensure the preservation of their culture.

    The Uyghur are a Muslim minority who hail predominantly from the region of Xinjiang, in China.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-59268974

    The Uyghurs gradually started to become Islamized in the 10th century and most Uyghurs identified as Muslims by the 16th century. Islam has since played an important role in Uyghur culture and identity. An estimated 80% of Xinjiang’s Uyghurs still live in the Tarim Basin.

      Apparently the taxi driver’s wife wrote on Facebook that her husband is at home resting, and coming to terms with what happened. She indicated that there were a lot of rumours and myths flying about, that he is a hero and him locking the perpetrator in the taxi, but she makes it appear that didn’t happen, but he was lucky to get out of the taxi alive – which really wouldn’t give him time to think about doing anything other than getting out of a car that’s on fire. Basically like the rest of us would.

    Definition: Phobias are more pronounced than fears. They develop when a person has an exaggerated or unrealistic sense of danger about a situation or object.

    I do not suffer from any ‘phobia’s’, all of my fears are well grounded in factual and historic events, they can can be substantiated with evidence and are not exaggerated. Not least the fear of people who have a long history of harming people like me.

    Now, I would have to be an absolute idiot to not have a ‘healthy’ fear of someone who has a long history of harming someone like me. I would have to be an even greater idiot to believe anyone who tries to convince me otherwise. This is definitely not a phobia.

    1. bBBC weatherman drums for 24 hours, raises £3,000,000 for Children in Need, that’s 50% of their overheads covered then.
    2. The anychess have done the square root of f all for the past 2 years and are now saying they can’t cope, for gods sake get a grip.
    3.The latest Ariel advert, wash at a lower temperature to reduce CO2, how the hell did they get 8 washing machines to the top of a bloody big hill. On the backs of unicorns, the same unicorns who are providing the power to run the same washing machines in the middle of a field.

      New EU Directive BBC Programme Labels – for a new transparent and accountable and gender fair BBC

      “I, Jeremy Vine, cost the public £750K* per year which is the equivalent to 21.5 nurses on £35K, declare that I have no other incomes derived from my broadcasting at the BBC. I have declared all my expenses and registered all gifts on the BBC expenses website. I, Jeremy Vine on this 30 minutes of show, with production time of 2 hours at an hourly rate of £1153 cost you the public £2884*. This does not include the studio and team wages. All monies I make from my ‘BBC Brand’ go back into the BBC. I follow the BBC guidelines – not giving my opinion on subjects that I know little about on twitter, facebook. If I do give an opinion then they are 100% in agreement with the BBC and have been approved by the BBC at time of publishing. Please note that reading out this EU compliant notice just cost you, the public enforced to pay my wages under threat of prison, a total of £76*.”

      * hourly rate is rough calculation, without knowing Jeremy Vines full wage it will be hard to workout. Figures are for illustrative purposes only. They may go up or down depending gender or TV Tax, but are NOT linked to the talent market.

    BBC reporter drowned out by hecklers at scene of Liverpool explosion

    “Fiona – I can see – erm – that we are unable to hear you right now. Unfortunately so, er, there are police at the scene there surrounding Fiona so, erm, she’s absolutely fine, but obviously, er, somebody was drowning out what she was saying, so, er, we are unable to continue, er, with that particular broadcast…”

    Laughable.

    Alt commentary:- “We can hear what the protestors are saying, and we can’t be having that on the BBC.”

        @FrankZ, ha ! that was accidental
        If someone posts a story, I always look for the original video, so people can judge from it themselves instead of wading through a long newspaper article.

        FrankZ, thanks for bringing that to our attention. It is about time the BBC got some public reaction to their warped and pernicious news propaganda.
        It cheers me up.

          Carefull use of the word ‘ rant ‘ for people expressing their views in public .

          Notice the absence of the Race industry on this – but theyll be queueing up to watch the tedious cricket fest…
