    The BBC were trying hard to ‘rehabilitate’ Alec Baldwin on TOADY this morning (Friday 3rd December). They were a bit behind the news curve on this as I think the interview happened 24 hours before the TOADY item. Late on the news is a perennial BBC problem and keeping old stories going, especially on their web-site, is something they promised not do over two decades back.

    But breaking promises is nothing new to BBC:
    Free TV Licences for over-75s
    iPlayer TV available Licence Free to those watching catch-up TV
    Whole radio archive made available via BBC web-site
    Up-to-date news, no old stories

    I may have missed some at this time of night.

    Have a good weekend everybody.

      Baldwin is moving the furniture every day.

      I didn’t pull the trigger….

      I didn’t shoot the gun….

      I wasn’t even there…

      My place was taken by Donald Trump…

      Reminds me of the Belushi scene in the blues brothers…

      It is both bizarre and frighteningly telling how duplicitous and evil lefties really are..

      Come on man just say I never expected it to happen but I did inadvertently shoot the girl dead. But that would take honesty and bravery, both missing in our left wing cohort.

    That poor little boy Arthur was murdered by his ‘parents’ .
    Meanwhile various public authorities managed to fail to follow up clear leads about the appalling cruelty he was suffering.

    There is to be a public enquiry. I guarantee the social services, local council, police, and others will leave no stone unturned to make absolutely sure …..that none of them can be blamed for anything, no-one is held to account and any failings will be swept under the carpet, and those in charge will probably be promoted.

    What else do we expect from our public sector heroes?

        It is left up to bloggers to point this out:

        ” Jo Cox wanted to make the world a better place and it was a cause for which she was willing to travel halfway across the globe. Whether consoling rape victims in Darfur or bombed out villagers in Afghanistan, it seemed the jet-setting international aid worker was rarely far from the action.

        Lately it had been the struggle of Syrian war refugees to get to the West that touched her heart, and their plight was a subject she returned to again and again after becoming a Member of Parliament. It seemed there was no victims anywhere she could not empathise with.

        Except, perhaps, with one striking omission.

        And that would be the White child rape victims of Muslim grooming gangs in her own back yard. For her West Yorkshire constituency is near the epicentre of the Muslim child rape epidemic that has been sweeping the Labour heartlands of northern England, largely ignored or covered up by social services workers, police and politicians.

        For it is a striking omission that of all the subjects she enjoyed sounding off on, this world-famous crisis affecting the poorest Whites on her doorstep was not one of them. One cannot help wonder if this shrewd silence was connected to the fact that her lavishly paid MPs job in the constituency of Batley and Spen largely depended on the support of the local Muslim community.

        Co-incidentally, just as Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death outside her constituency office in Birstall last Thursday, sentencing was about to take place at Leeds Crown Court after a long trial involving a horrific case of Muslim child exploitation.

        The court heard that in Halifax, eleven miles from Cox’s constituency, a vulnerable underage girl had been left to fend for herself at the age of 13 after her mother died. This child ended up being preyed on by 100 Muslim males who plied her with alcohol and drugs. The girl — nominally in council care — was then passed from house to house and from town to town as far away as Manchester and London. The girl described being filmed by Muslims on a mobile phone while being orally raped. She contracted an STD. Some of the rapists were identified from CCTV which had been seized from the hotels she could remember, while others were caught because of DNA from stains on her clothing. The police said afterwords that the girl, one of two victims, had shown “immense courage and bravery in reporting these matters to the police and providing evidence.”

        At the Leeds trial, only fifteen of the men were convicted. Originally over a hundred were arrested and doubtless dozens of culprits walked free. It was a lurid and horrific story but such hearings are so common these days, they have become wearily familiar.

        Nevertheless you would think this would be a issue that would enrage a feminist-minded, morally crusading MP. But no, instead of fighting to defend the White girl victims of Muslim rape gangs, female Labour MPs have preferred to defend the Muslim community and deflect any criticism. Or, like Jo Cox, they have chosen to ignore it completely. In her maiden speech, Jo Cox said that her community had been “deeply enhanced by immigration”. Yes well.”

      The European pronunciation of J from Germany downwards ( like Jugoslavia = Yugoslavia) is Y , as in yellow , yacht , yam yams .

        Zephir

        Last June my optometrist detected a cataract in my left eye. I was seen by the our sainted, clapped for Anychess the next day and they concurred with the diagnosis.

        The doctor at the hospital said she would get me on the list for a pre-op consultation. I asked, somewhat cynically, “How long will this take, 6 months?”. The doctor reassured me that it would be 6 – 8 weeks.

        In September, I received the notification of my pre-op appointment, April 5 2022.

        I went back to my ophthalmologist and she said, “This is ridiculous”. She referred me to a private firm, CHEC whose sole business is doing cataracts, much of which is paid for by the NHS.

        I had my consultation the beginning of November and the operation 2 weeks ago.

        I subsequently contacted the hospital to cancel the April 2022 appointment explaining that I had already had the cataract sorted. They replied by post that they understood the the appointment was not convenient for me and that while they could not offer a new date they would put me on the Waiting List for a new appointment in the future.

    This may explain his excuse, aomething I came across :

    “Could Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin be the victim of a self-shooting gun as he claims in a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos?

    No That’s not what he said. And this is why sound bite news is dangerous. It will cause you to think things which are not accurate depictions of reality.

    He said, “I didn’t pull the trigger. The trigger was not pulled.” He actually said that.

    And it may even be completely true.

    Baldwin describes how they were setting up the [camera] shot and that he pulled back the hammer, since that was part of the scene. One of those, good guys pointing the firearm at where the camera is going to be and then he cocks the revolver.

    When the AD said they got the angle right, he released the hammer.

    Well. There’s a reason why there’s a big red line through the image of the guy manually operating the hammer above. If you release the hammer with enough tension still on it, the gun will fire.

    Normally, the revolver operates by (yes, this is double action):

    You start squeezing the trigger,
    The trigger squeeze begins pulling the hammer back (storing energy in a spring)
    When a point is reached, the hammer moves forward.
    The hammer strikes the firing pin.
    The firing pin hits the primer cap (which is in the cartridge).
    When struck, the primer (should normally) detonate
    Causing the powder in the cartridge to fire the bullet down the guns’ barrel.
    Baldwin is saying:

    He didn’t do Step 1.
    Instead, he used his thumb to do Step 2.
    He let go of the hammer, causing Step 3.
    The rest operated as a revolver normally does, because there was a live round.
    Now, it’s important to place what he said into context:

    Is he saying, “I didn’t pull the trigger. The trigger wasn’t pulled” to claim that he didn’t cause the injury or was not involved; or
    Is he saying, “I didn’t pull the trigger. The trigger wasn’t pulled” to factually describe what actually happened.
    There are very different things. The ABC interview and its previews are heavily edited to cut out most of the conversation.

    Or is it both? He can say he didn’t pull the trigger. And that he wouldn’t point a gun at someone and pull the trigger—believing that he was trying to be safe, and so he is less culpable. And for his single-action revolver, that might be true.

    And I believe his factual statement that he didn’t pull the trigger. Why? Because:

    He’s an idiot
    Who doesn’t know a damn thing about guns”

      It’s a single action Colt Army Copy I believe.

      If the hammer is cocked and let go with no pressure on the trigger it will drop to half cock.

      For it to drop on the primer I believe the trigger needs to be pressed. And this can be done prior to cocking and allowing the hammer to fall- this is a method used to fire such guns known as fanning.

      Half cock is an integral part of this firearm design as you need to put it in half-cock to rotate the cylinder freely for loading/unloading through the loading gate as the cylinder is fixed and not a swing out cylinder.

      if the hammer is dropped prior to reaching the half cock feature – would it have enough force to ignite the primer or would it “light strike”? I am not sure…this is possibly the only wiggle room I can see in Baldwin’s situation.

    Astounding and troubling account of the BBC seemingly deliberately making up something in a report in order to change the narrative of the story….Is the BBC biased? reveals all….

    https://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.com/2021/12/antisemitism-on-oxford-street-further.html

    It seems the BBC has invented a story that Jews on a bus made anti-Muslim comments….the original story that Muslims were attacking a bus full of Jews was clearly bad news for Muslims and the BBC thus the BBC made up a suggestion that insinuated the Jews had possibly provoked the Muslims.

    Some racial slurs about Muslims can also be heard from inside the bus, which had been hired by a group of Jewish people celebrating the eight-day festival. The Met said the incident would be looked at “in its entirety”.
    Tamara Cohen, who was on the bus, said she did not hear anyone saying anything provocative to the group of men gathered outside the vehicle.’

    Note the BBC say the police will look at things ‘in its entirety’…ie they will investigate the Jews as well…because of a claim made by a BBC reporter….a claim that is entirely false.

    This is the BBC trying to downplay the Muslims actions and to blame the Jews. What’s new?…this is the standard way the BBC reports from Israel where rockets, bombs and murder by Palestinians is #duetoJewishprovocation.

    The BBC’s series, ‘An Honourable Woman’, was based upon this lie….the Palestinians may do terrible things but they are driven to it by Israeli oppression and war crimes.

      Ahh, so here we see how you project your own bigotry onto others. The men hurling abuse at one or more people on the bus are about as representative of “Muslims” as you are for “Christians” when making “coon” jokes on this website.

      This is the BBC trying to downplay the Muslims actions and to blame the Jews

      Nope, this is a news report trying to report what may or may not have happened (“Tamara Cohen, who was on the bus, said she did not hear anyone saying anything provocative…”), whilst you attempt to turn it into a story about “us” vs “them”.

    ‘They Spit When I Walked in the Street’: The ‘New Anti-Semitism’ in France

    Gunther Jikeli, a German historian at Indiana University who conducted a meticulous study of Muslim anti-Semitism in Europe, called the phenomenon “blindingly obvious” in a recent opinion piece in the newspaper Le Monde.

    Nearly 40 percent of violent acts classified as racially or religiously motivated were committed against Jews in 2017, though Jews make up less than 1 percent of France’s population.

    In 16 surveys conducted over the last 12 years in Europe, “anti-Semitism is significantly higher among Muslims than among non-Muslims,” Mr. Jikeli wrote.

    “There is a kind of norm of anti-Semitism, of viewing Jews negatively,” he said in an interview.

    It’s time to call out the antisemitism within Britain’s Muslim communities

    New survey into British Muslim attitudes towards Jews

    Politicians often talk tough on tackling antisemitism — but there seems to be a reluctance to call out this deep-rooted prejudice within one section of British society: British Muslim communities.

    The evidence has shown for some time that such problematic beliefs are more concentrated within the British Muslim population. A 2017 report by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research (JPR) showed that, across a range of indicators, the degree of antisemitic beliefs within British Muslim communities was a serious cause for concern. When compared with the general population, British Muslims in the study were more likely to believe that the Holocaust is a myth (2 per cent and 8 per cent respectively) and think that Jews possess feelings of ‘group superiority’ over non-Jews (13 per cent and 28 per cent respectively)

    And… from the Muslim Institute :

    The sorry truth is that the virus of anti-Semitism has infected the British Muslim community

    t pains me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism isn’t just tolerated in some sections of the British Muslim community; it’s routine and commonplace. Any Muslims reading this article – if they are honest with themselves – will know instantly what I am referring to. It’s our dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim anti-Semitism.

    I can’t keep count of the number of Muslims I have come across – from close friends and relatives to perfect strangers – for whom weird and wacky anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are the default explanation for a range of national and international events. Who killed Diana and Dodi? The Mossad, say many Muslims. They didn’t want the British heir to the throne having an Arab stepfather. What about 9/11? Definitely those damn Yehudis. I mean, why else were 4,000 Jews in New York told to stay home from work on the morning of 11 September 2001? How about the financial crisis? Er, Jewish bankers. Obviously. Oh, and the Holocaust? Don’t be silly. Never happened.

    Growing up, I always assumed that this obsession with “the Jews” was a hallmark of the “first-generation” immigrants from the subcontinent. In recent years, I’ve been depressed to discover that there are plenty of “second-generation” Muslim youths, born and bred in multiracial Britain, who have drunk the anti-Semitic Kool-Aid. I’m often attacked by them for working in the “Jewish owned media”..

    It is sheer hypocrisy for Muslims to complain of Islamophobia in every nook and cranny of British public life, to denounce the newspapers for running Muslim-baiting headlines, and yet ignore the rampant anti-Semitism in our own backyard. We cannot credibly fight Islamophobia while making excuses for Judaeophobia.

    Why the Labour Party Won’t Confront British Muslim anti-Semitism

    Too many Labour politicians cravenly adopted the anti-Semitic tropes and anti-Israel demonization they think will get them British Muslim votes, rather than standing up to the prejudice that exists in the community.

    That is the real tragedy of this current exposé of anti-Semitism on the Left. Anti-Israel demonization, they think, will get those votes. Fear of violence in Britain and the belief that by appeasing their Muslim voters they will secure themselves in power are the driver behind these abhorrent statements. So the condemnations of anti-Semitism that we hear from Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the offenders typically express disapproval of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of racism, lest anyone think that anti-Semitism was special, or had any roots in the religion and culture of Islam.

    TOADY Watch #1 – it is OK for some people to do a U-turn but not Conservative Government Ministers

    The hypocrisy of the BBC is on show – again – this morning. No surprise, it is routine for the BBC (a.k.a. the militant broadcasting wing of the Labour Party) to howl at a Government U-turn, especially if made by the Prime Minister. Those of us with long memories will remember one of Margaret Thatcher’s speechwriters coming up with the brilliant line “U-turn if you want to; this lady’s not for turning.” Was it the late Lord Bell’s line?

    No matter. One of the early items in the 7 a.m. News on R4 was about a public information film to be released (I assume with Dept. of Health approval) about three unvaccinated mothers who caught ‘Covid’ while pregnant. Now I recall that in 2020, it was stressed by PH (England) and the vaccine companies that the vaccines should not be taken by young females if pregnant or trying to get pregnant. That is quite a U-turn by the medical profession.

    No mention of the U-turn by the BBC in the News.

    The anti royalist presenter of south Asian heritage ( a paki?) interviews mickey holding – who apparently used to play cricket .
    Mr holding poured forth on the Yorkshire cricket club which appears to be in the process of destroying itself because a paki got upset being called a paki .

    At the end holding casually mentioned that as a result the atmosphere has got more toxic and (whitee ) people are less likely to talk . Quite right . Why talk to coloured people if you suspect they are waiting for a comment which can be reported 10 years from now to get money and get the victim fired.

      James quotes a FullFact article from 2 months ago

      Claim : About 80-90% of those hospitalised with Covid-19 are unvaccinated.
      OUR VERDICT : This used to be true. The figure now is more like 35%.”

      there was a clear trend downwards so it will be lower now

      The point is the establishment know there are 2 things
      #1 People who come to hospital BECAUSE of Covid
      #2 The total number of hospital patients with Covid
      and that includes a lot of people who didn’t have Covid but caught it in hospital,
      often quite mild, but it still shows up in a test.

      Really the only TRUE covid patients are those who have it severe.
      A leg patient will be taking up a bed cos of their leg, not cos they have mild covid too.

      Since most of the old population are vaccinated,
      the vast majority of non-Covid hospital patients are vaccinated
      Thus there is a huge pool of patients who will catch Covid in hospital if they sit in a room with someone for 10 hours who is a carrier
      whereas the unvaccinated person might typically pick up the infection in 2 hours.

    TOADY Watch #2 – it’s a scandal, racism and sexism in sport, says the BBC

    The BBC are now going after the beautiful game that has become ugly on TOADY and marking the centenary of the Football Association’s ban on Womens football in 1921. What the BBC do not appear to have mentioned before I hit the off-switch in disgust was why the FA banned the women’s game having previously supported it, especially during WW1. I don’t know if this was mentioned by the racist, sexist, feminist obsessed BBC, at all?

    The FA banned women’s football for a variety of reasons, mostly to do with health. In addition, many men in the UK population had been killed or badly wounded and perhaps handicapped during the war and needed the health treatment facilities that would otherwise have been taken up by healthy women injured playing football. [I have been in an A&E Dept. in late summer and have seen the numbers traipsing in for treatment to sporting injuries both from cricket and football as well as athletics.]

    Secondly, it was necessary for healthy women of child bearing age to not risk injury, especially to the womb and uterus, when the depleted population of men needed replacing with new lives. Widespread immigration into the UK (and most countries with some exceptions) due to the threat of terrorism and revolutionary activities had been stopped at the end of the 19th/early 20th centuries.

    Thirdly, medical science had not advanced to the point where damage to females’ wombs, etc., could be easily repaired. And there was still a need to keep patching up the war wounded.

      I was hugely amused by the ‘dame Casey ‘ inquiry into the riot at the wemberly euros final . The findings were

      1 it was a big footy match
      1A there has never been a footy match at Wembley
      2 it was held late in the day
      3 booze was taken
      4 the BBC MSM ramped it up and up
      5 plod has never done a big match before
      6 plod turned up late – to save money
      7 cheap ‘stewards ‘ took bungs or let mates in
      8 no World Cup

      Having gone to brutal games in the 70s and after I am surprised at how genteel matches have become – and in those few cases where the past returns – it is a surprise to the woke .

          Scarily Sluff, a fair few of them are employed by the NHS, and will pretty much be guaranteed promotion to senior positions, thanks in part to a slew of new ‘Diversity Advisers’. It being racist NOT to positively discriminate in their favour and promote them, you see, even if they are completely incompetent and/or don’t speak the native tongue.

          A friend of mine’s son, an odd, but nice enough lad, wants to work in a field where he’ll presumably be maintaining, repairing and operating, high tech medical devices, some of which will be keeping patients alive (or not).

          The problem is this boy has a number of, how shall I put this politely, ‘handicaps’, such as severe dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD. All of which, I would have thought, would better suit him (however bright) to some less… responsible, line of work.

          However, so mixed up is the world we currently live in, that he’s sailed through his A Levels, and got top marks, thanks in part to his intelligence (he seems a bright kid), but even more, I suspect, to all the help (laptops, calculators, extra time, books of formulae etc… he’s had in exams) AND being given ‘positive assistance’ by markers on account of his multiple ‘conditions’. Now he’s headed for Uni, and going to study Medical Engineering at a decent Uni, which has accepted him (and will be assisting him) on the grounds of his ‘disadvantages’.

          All of which sounds ‘nice’ and ‘supportive’, and gives his loving parents a warm glow, but all I can think of is this:

      Sluff -Yiddish ? On a Flu jab reminder? Oy gevalt ( I’m shocked)
      Yiddish is a humorous language which evolved when the Russian
      Jews were forced to live in a western region of the Russian Empire
      between 1791 to 1917. Parts of modern day Poland. Lithuania,
      Latvia. And all of Byelarus and Ukraine made up the Pale of Settlement.
      It was a very hard life for them what with the pogroms. And
      this Yiddish language was around 70% German, with other
      eastern European languages and some Hebrew slung in.
      I say it was humorous . If you have seen Fiddler on the Roof you
      know what I mean. Some of the words and sayings have been
      passed down from great grandfathers to their great grand children like a 76 year alte kacker (a crotchety old man) like me. But Yiddish on
      vaccination instructions ? I am pretty krank(sick) with heart failure . And I cant schlapp( carry) the heavy shopping
      a long distance anymore. Sluff Yiddish? Are you being kosher

          Sluf-Absolutely fascinating ! Thanks for the info. Just one interesting observation. The language they say is Yiddish, is not Yiddish . Its HEBREW. A completely different language . Not an exact comparison . But Yiddish is in a way what Swiss deutsch is to German . Swiss deutsch is a spoken language passed down from one generation to another . It is not a written language.
          But it is a real living spoken language. Even in the thirties
          especially in Poland and the USA there were still
          flourishing Yiddish theatres and even hit songs with Yiddish
          titles like Bay Mir Bistu Sheyn ( to me your beautifu)
          BUT whilst Swiss deutsch still flourishes Yiddish is dying out.
          Modern Hebrew is the language of Israel. And that ” Yiddish”
          Flu vaccine info is in Hebrew. Why we 300,000 Jews in the UK
          need this info in Hebrew. God only knows !!

    Douglas Murray maintains his anti Trump stance in the Telegraph this morning. We all respect Douglas for his forthright expression of his loathing for Islam and the cowardly approach of western politicians towards the ever growing list of Muslim terror attacks.

    But in my opinion he is entirely wrong about President Trump. Douglas doesn’t like him , or perhaps more accurately doesn’t like his style, and it shows. But It isn’t a question of whether you dislike his tweets , his combatative approach, or if you would like Trump as a neighbour . It is about whether you agree with his policies or not , such as America and it’s culture first, anti globalism, CO2 scepticism, a strong line on immigration and Islamic terror, which I most certainly do.

    Douglas writes The Strange Death of Europe and rightly pilloried the weak kneed politicians who have let it happen , or worse promoted it , but baulks when a leader steps up who pushes back on behalf of the people because Douglas doesn’t like his style.

Perhaps he’s already well through a next book on “Trump” and he wouldn’t want anything to disturb the current Trump trajectory contrary to what’s being written?

    That last point was mentioned by the sound recordist – the ever expanding world population – and he also pointed out the intrusion of the noise of modern life. I can sympathise with that having had numerous dogs barking in nearby gardens and the sound of children playing outside now the rain has stopped. The sound recordist mentioned constant sound of aeroplanes flying overhead.

When we had a leaving do (and we had a lot because it wasn’t a nice place to work), we would end up in a nightclub. That’s when they let themselves go and I felt sorry for the women they fancied. It didn’t matter if anyone else was talking to them, they would push in on the dancefloor and show whitey their red-velvet jacket backs while they forced themselves on the poor female.

                One of the most ignorant things I ever saw. You need to see them confident in a group in their own environment to fully appreciate their culture. They were the most racist people I ever met.

    @Independent “RNLI vows to continue Channel rescues amid new hate campaign by Britain First”

    @lizziedearden · Dec 3
    Britain First has launched a campaign to bombard the RNLI with complaints over English Channel crossings
    It says it wants “to pressure them to abandon their support for illegal immigrant and people trafficking and focus instead on saving British lives”

    Guess who the actual HATE is from all over Twitter now.

      “RNLI takes down website after suspected hacking attempt”
      .. The thing is the website is actually up
      And has a message at the top “Our website is currently unavailable”

      Yet when you go down the page the website is working
      cos you can click the links
      I’d say it’s possible someone just hacked the front page
      Oh the donations page is down
      https://rnli.org/support-us/give-money/donate
      but the donation page listed on their Twitter never went down.

      “*new* hate campaign” ..when I checked the BF form page seems to be 2 years old. It’s not new
      It’s the HnH campaign that seems new.

      As ever everything is upside down the Hatey No Haters set themselves up as being against hate
      They have set up a narrative that BF are spreading hate. How ? by sending a form mail to the RNLI
      Hang on, that’s not violence is it
      they are entitled to send whatever message they want to the RNLI
      and rather than being swamped the only new evidence on Twitter for such a campaign is from hundreds of HateyNoHope supporter hatey tweets demonising BF.
      There seem to be zero tweets from BF people promoting the form.
      HnH seem to have done nothing new hatey
      Yet HnH supporters are being hatey against them.
      HnH’s behaviour of demonising another group merely for sending letters , does seem akin to racism.

      Indeed when you track down the BF page
      you find that rather than be a brand new campaign
      https://www.britainfirst.org/demand-the-rnli-stop-virtue-signalling-save-british-lives
      It seems to come from September 2019
      and the form is switched off now.
      There is no BF page in the last year that mentions RNLI.

      “I don’t think we are a left-wing organisation,” says Alex Mahon, chief executive of Channel 4, after some gentle cajoling.

      “I think we do have a particular focus on the young under our remit and a particular focus on the issues that concern them,” Mahon explains, choosing her words carefully. “Ultimately, we are an organisation that is set up to represent the underrepresented. That has traditionally meant minorities. It has meant LGBT and minority ethnic communities.

      “If you do that, you are always going to be accused of being liberal. But that is how Channel 4 has always been, and that is part of its natural makeup.”

      ‘It’s not left-wing
      .. It even sometimes airs far-right figures like Jeremy Corbyn’ ..she meant to add

        In one sense, she is correct, at least if she is referring to traditional left wing politics. The original purpose of the Left was to represent the interests of working class people, whereas nowadays they are just apparatchiks and lapdogs for the billionaire globalists, engaging in distraction politics so people don’t see what is going on, along with promoting ‘divide and rule’ to ensure no true opposition can ever arise.

        If C4 is focussing on minority ethnic communities then can we expect specific programming related to the interests of British white people in Leicester, Bradford, Southall, Tower Hamlets and elsewhere?

        Nope, thought not.

        And if C4 is not left wing then how come it focusses on ‘minorities’ which all the demographics and polls say hugely favour the Labour Party? How about a focus on white working class Brexit supporters, showing them in a positive, patriotic light?

        Nope, thought not, again.

    Most are aware on here that I am a movie ‘buff’. So imagine my surprise at seeing included in Sky’s Top 10 Christmas films (introduced by Irritating Elbow) is this movie – which I have never heard of, was made in 2007, and is clearly included to satisfy the ego of Mr Elbow as he appears in it, about a black family Christmas !!!

    Anyone on here heard of it ? ………….. THIS CHRISTMAS
