Weekend 11 December 2021

2 weeks to Christmas. Very often the values of the BBC are demonstrated by what it chooses – editorially – to ‘big up’ rather than what it doesn’t . Whether it is an obsession with office parties or the minimising of the criminal conviction of a US race hero – the biased values of the BBC show themselves to we who see the truth . At least there are growing numbers of alternative sources of News rather than BBC propaganda .

    People often say that Farage needs to get back into leading some new party and he keeps saying he doesn’t want to.

    There is one job which is perfectly suited to him and it could be his most important contribution since getting brexit done.

    In the same way that Bismarck unified Germany he should sort out all these right of centre parties which, when alone, will only succeed in keeping themselves out of power.
    He should get them all together and unify them under one banner, each party giving and taking but eventually having just one candidate at each election constituency.

    The parties are all quite similar and will only end up damaging each other and getting nowhere.
    I’m sure Tice, Hamilton, Fox and the others, when United, would be a viable voting option.
    Instead of voting tory to keep Labour out or voting labour because you hate the Tories there would be a patriotic party which would get brexit done (properly), stop illegal immigration and actually get the things done which Tory and labour politicians avoid doing.

    The leaders of these parties will not be prime ministers but if United they could easily get into power.

    Nigel is the only person who has the stature and personality to do this.

      EG

      I like much of what you say. Any successful new party has to be a broad church. There are many issues that the various factions on the right could make common cause around. I hold extreme views on most of them – I would demolish existing mosques, ban the building of new ones, and repatriate Muslims back to the Middle East, for example. But I wouldn’t refuse to vote for a serious right wing party just because it didn’t go quite as far as I would. If I believed they really would do something good, like stop illegal immigration, I’d vote for them. There is no conservative mainstream party that is remotely capable of implementing any of the policies I want at the moment.

      Farage is a charismatic figure and a brilliant orator and debater who ought to be the natural leader of this hypothetical new party.

        Zelazek & EG. You both make good points, but I have to disagree with you about Farage. I think he’s doing an excellent job where he is right now and I’m keen to see him stay there.
        Can I suggest you ask yourselves why he is not leader of a third party right now? He had one it was called Ukip and under him it became the third strongest Party in the UK. He walked away from it after the election when he failed to take Thanet South. Not only did he leave but he wanted it to end. He eventually claimed that the far right had taken over the party. He also rubbished the membership in a very snobbish way when they would not support his autocratic ways. The Brexit Party suited him because it only let in the ‘right sort of people’ and was a temporary phenomena. To put it simply, and as Godfrey Bloom put it, he is not a leader. At least not in the political party sense. He doesn’t the membership aspect of it and in general he is not good at dealing with mechanism of party dynamics. He never will be. It’s not his thing. We should learn from past mistakes. It is time to look for new talent. Much as I admire Ian Botham I don’t think putting him back in the England side would solve the current problem the team faces in Oz. I won’t be joining the Bring Back Botham campaign. We should regard Farage in the same way.

        Now where I do think Nigel can play a part is in bringing together the various populist parties on the right knock a few heads together and give them a sense of direction and purpose. I’m all for him doing that. But making him a party leader, well… okay if the idea is for a short-lived campaign type party. However, I think recent history shows that Britain needs a party of conservatism that is open to all and fully geared up for the long haul.

            It’s ok Yasser.
            What I was trying to get over is that Nigel is the one obvious person who could get these parties together.
            I think they would all listen to him.
            Not that he should lead a grand coalition of them all.

    Others are now noticing….

    MAIL ON SUNDAY COMMENT: How can the BBC think ‘Partygate’ is bigger news than Omicron?

    Is this the only problem for the licence-funded BBC to focus on? Or is it again letting its inherent, relentless bias show? If the Government were more to the liking of the Corporation’s metropolitan liberals, would this sort of coverage continue?

    It is not just us pointing out this problem. Star BBC interviewer Andrew Marr is leaving his post to return to the Left-wing journalism from which he emerged before he miraculously became impartial.

    Even he said in 2006 that the BBC was ‘a publicly funded urban organisation with an abnormally large proportion of younger people, of people in ethnic minorities and almost certainly of gay people, compared with the population at large’.

    All this, he said, ‘creates an innate liberal bias inside the BBC’.

    One of its senior executives, Roger Mosey, admitted the BBC had been ‘too closed to a wide range of views’ and had ‘too narrow an agenda’.

    Mark Thompson, when he was director-general, said the Corporation had suffered a ‘massive bias to the Left’ – in the past. Is it possible that it has in fact continued into the present? It looks very much like it.

    if we want the opinions of the Left-wing Guardian, we may buy them or read them online.

    We should not see them broadcast by the BBC.

    The BBC may not advertise but boy are they push push pushing women’s football.
    You can see the ‘equality’ play from miles away.
    Of course the public see it for what it is.
    So the latest BBC trick is to mention the match BUT NOT whether it’s the Premier League or the wimmins’ league.

    Thus ‘Manchester United end winless run…..’ requires a double take from anyone who follows football – it is neatly undifferentiated with coverage of men’s matches. Other examples increasingly abound

    Completely pathetic woke equality nonsense.

    A good day for Stevenage

    From 2011

    “The clear fact that Lewis Hamilton was totally deserving of his penalties apparently carried no weight with the McLaren driver. It seems also that the 2008 Formula One World Driving Champion feels no remorse over having ended a rather good race for Ferrari’s Filipe Massa and Williams driver Pastor Maldonado.

    “It’s a absolute frickin’ joke!” Hamilton bellowed when he stormed up to see the stewards, one of whom was British sportscar driver Allan McNish. When asked why Lewis believed the panel of four was victimizing him, Hamilton barked, “Maybe it’s because I’m black.”

      His white mother must feel so proud.

      What IS it with these mixed racers, Halle Berry had a white mother but she concentrated on ‘being black’, Alesha Dixon from Welwyn Garden City had a white mother and is ‘proud of being black’. The joke is that these white mothers (and thousands of others) had to bring the kids up on their own because the black fathers had scarpered, yet they are ‘proud’ of their black roots.

      These ads showing mixed raced families – generally a black father, just makes a mockery of the reality of most white mother households.

    Celebrity Race-car Driver Lewis Hamilton walks into a country golf club in England. He sees the woman on reception and enquires about joining the club.
    Looking slightly disappointed, the woman at the desk tells Lewis that unfortunately the club has a very old rule which states only white people can become members.

    She apologises for the out of date rule but says that it will not be changed for anyone any time soon.

    She continues to tell Lewis that there’s another country club about a thirty minute drive down the road, which will take all kinds of people.

    Lewis looks angry and say “But I’m Lewis Hamilton!”

    To which the woman replies: “ten minutes drive then.”

    Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to win the World Championship title
    But Mercedes have lodged two appeals after late drama on the very last lap
    Race director Michael Masi made lapped cars move ahead of the safety car
    This meant that Hamilton and Verstappen raced wheel to wheel for the title

    I would like to thank whoever it was who recommended we read the new book ‘Rigged’ by the Journalist Mollie Hemingway. It explains How the Media, Big Tech,and the Democrats Seized the US elections. It is a not sensationalist but a sober well annotated account of the devious campaign against President Trump and the manipulation of the 2020 elections.
    To anyone who who relies on the BBC for their news this will be a huge Eye opener. For those of us who have been redpilled and know the reality it is still depressing. It is , however, a useful reference when arguing with Leftists, as I have to.
