Midweek 9 February 2022

How long will the BBC campaign to unseat an elected PM go on for ? It is using the same hateful onslaught used daily against president Trump – another politician on the ‘disapproved ‘ list . The answer might be ‘for ever ‘….

    When a Saudi woman daring not to wear a hijab leads to calls for her beheading, maybe it’s time the UK paid attention
    Our Government has put business, arms and trades deals before human rights. It isn’t ethical and it isn’t fair

    I imagine that all the advertising agencies that produce
    all the present day woke adverts on TV must be in an
    orgasmic state in trying to outbid each other for
    Zuma’s services. Perhaps we will see him in a new
    pet food advert.

        Guest, the PM must now know for sure that there is a Labour Party traitor in No.10 Downing Street. He should ask the Security Services to find out who it is and the PM must name them in the House and then fire them. He might also get the Security Services to investigate links between BBC people and Pippa Crerar at the Daily Mirror.

    The BBC have replaced Martin Bashir as religious editor.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/bbc-news-aleem-maqbool-religion-editor/

    This is the third time in a row that the BBC have appointed a Muslim to this position.

    Apparently Aleem Maqbool previously worked for the BBC as their Gaza/West Bank correspondent so his recruitment is not thrilling news for Jewish people in this Country either.

    We need no further proof that the BBC is determined to stamp out Christianity in our largely Christian Country.

    Stats show that 59% of the population still self-identify as Christian, with only 6.3% identifying as Muslim so the BBC have simply done what they do best by ignoring this and ramming this appointment down our throats.

    This is a takeover by stealth of the worst kind for reasons of sheer propaganda and should result in all right-thinking Christian citizens in this Country letting them know that they cannot just continue the role of this Countries arbiter of the news and programming etc. whilst blatantly blocking any member of the largely Christian community for this role in the BBC.

    They need terminating before they permanently damage this Country, if they want to become MBC to represent Pakistan, Iran, Palestine and etc. that’s fine but they should do it by raising all their own money not using the massive cash income extracted from mainly Christian British taxpayers.

    Voice for Justice UK are running a campaign to try to block the appointment by urging people to write to their MP but I fear this will go nowhere with the iron-headed activists within the BBC, the only way to deal with it is to cut off it’s massive flow of free income from Joe Public.

    STOP PAYING THEM to crap on you!

      The Jews dressing as Muslims to get around a prayer ban

      The Jews dressing as Muslims to get around a prayer ban
      Close
      Some extremist Jews reveal that they’ve been dressing as Muslims to enter and worship at a bitterly contested holy site, Temple Mount or the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

      After Israel captured and occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, a delicate status quo remained: non-Muslims can visit the complex but must not pray there.

      The BBC has been speaking to Jewish Israeli activist, Raphael Morris, who leads a fringe group called “Returning to the Mount”, which advocates prayer at the site he calls Temple Mount and to a Palestinian Muslim activist, Hanady Halawani who says she will defend al-Aqsa Mosque.

    P.S. In the last few seconds, Rubin makes the point that the race riots stopped soon after Biden took power. Almost as if they’d been fomented by the Dems to discredit Trump.

    Warning – The BBC does it again!
    Well, there’s a surprise, the BBC has, after what they say was a competitive recruitment process, appointed a new Religion editor, Aleem Maqbool.    Mr Maqbool, a Muslim and journalist of some note, who previously acted respectively as Auntie’s Pakistan and Gaza/West Bank Correspondent, is reportedly delighted to be taking on a role that will focus ‘on telling stories associated with faith and ethics’ (https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/bbc-news-aleem-maqbool-religion-editor/).  He is due to take up his new position this Spring.
     
    Maqbool is set to succeed Martin Bashir, who stepped down from his role as religious correspondent in questionable circumstances in 2021, following allegations of having fabricated evidence in order to procure an interview with Princess Diana (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57120603).   Bashir had, in turn, taken over from the controversial former head of religion and ethics, Aaqil Ahmed, who did so much to promote multicultural programming … demonstrating what many complained was clear bias, to the detriment of Christianity.

    And the so called ‘impartial’ BBC even exposes its charter to ridicule…
    The BBC was established by Royal Charter in 1927, ‘to inform, educate and entertain’, with committed Christian, Lord Reith, appointed as Director-General. He it was who had inscribed over the foyer of Broadcasting House, in Latin (where it remains to this day):

    “This temple of the arts and muses is dedicated to Almighty God by the first Governors in the year of our Lord 1931, John Reith being director-general. And they pray that good seed sown may bring forth good harvest, and that all things foul or hostile to peace may be banished thence, and that the people inclining their ear to whatsoever things are lovely and honest, whatsoever things are of good report, may tread the path of virtue and wisdom.”

    Well so much for that. A clear line has been breached and that the BBC is no logger fit for purpose. No taxation without representation (as the Americans used to say about England).

    Our society and culture are founded on Christian values, and we are a Christian country.  Though there has been an undeniable decline in religious adherence in recent years, according to the Office for National Statistics, 59% of the population still self-identify as Christian, with only 6.3% identifying as Muslim. (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/culturalidentity/religion/
    articles/exploringreligioninenglandandwales/february2020; https://www.statista.com/topics/4765/islam-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/#dossierKeyfigures).  It would seem, from this, that the BBC has a clear agenda to promote minorities over the majority of society, nevertheless expecting – or hoping – that we should all continue to pay a licence fee in their support, whether we agree with such policies or not.

      The Blue Labour Tories are trying to do the same in the UK by defunding the Police, closing most Magistraits and County Courts, creating backlogs so long that now many of the statstically few cases which are brought age out before they can be heard.
      On top of that no new prison places are being built so sentences are becoming shorter and shorter.
      They are in short attempting to achieve the Socialist dream of anarchy. Of course they can afford protection from the baying mobs of criminals, but the rest of us can’t.

      I was literally just about to post this
      Steerpike : Why is the BBC saying Boris’s Savile claims are false?
      In a BBC fact check article from last week, the Corporation stated that there was ‘no evidence that Sir Keir was involved at any point in the decision not to charge Savile’. That is undoubtedly true, but the key distinction over the claim is not a factual one — it is a question of where responsibility should lie. The BBC’s position is that because there is no evidence for Starmer’s involvement in the case, he cannot be held responsible for the decision.
      (..I add that if Boris is responsible for setting the culture in No 10,
      then Starmer WAS responsible for setting the culture in the DPP’s office)

      Asked about their decision to brand the claim as ‘false’ (a technique often used by American broadcasters when covering Donald Trump) a BBC spokesperson told Mr S: ‘The BBC has reported on all aspects of this story’

      .. When the Corporation reports that the statement is ‘false’, it implicitly makes a value judgement on where responsibility lies. For all its talk of objectivity, the BBC has made that moral judgement for you

        Starmer, in true tried-and-tested civil servant style, has been at pains to appear never to be ‘directly responsible’ for anything. This modus operandi relies on collusion between between various institutions in order to spread the blame and make it almost impossible to pinpoint the person(s) responsible. There is always an element of fraud involved. In his past rise up the ranks Starmer has mastered this skill by keeping himself several steps away from any action – hence all the ‘fence sitting’ – apart from when he considers himself to be on safe ground such as opposing the death penalty in foreign parts. However, as Labour leader it was always going to be more difficult for him to hide his duplicitous nature. Having boasted publicly in the Commons and elsewhere of his successes as Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Starmer finds himself precariously close to a position of having to bear a degree of responsibility for something unsavoury. Hence all the righteous indignation. The bBC, as an instrument of the blob, is therefore instructed to flatly deny his involvement in e.g. the Savile case in order to keep Blair’s man in position as Labour leader.

    Is the BBC a reliable news source?

    “Since I am from India, my answer will be more focused on BBC’s coverage of India. I will try to be as objective as possible by just representing the facts and will let users make up their mind:

    When the opposition party BJP won a land slide in 2014 becoming the first party to get a majority by it’s own in thirty years in India; BBC correspondent got two college students supporting the opposition Congress party and were debating how Muslims are going to live under BJP rule, in spite BJP winning plurality of Muslim majority seats in India.
    They called Mumbai 2008 terror attackers as “Gunmen” for a very long time until even some Englishmen objected to it.
    When world was commending India about India’s mars mission, BBC was dismissive about it because of “700 million poor it has”. They said the same when India sent Moon mission and when India did a nuclear test in 1998.
    BBC was so pro pakistan during wars that Indian government has to ban it during 1971 war.
    Many reputed journalists (MJ Akbar) have refused to work with BBC because of its anti India rant.

    I am not sure if someone is biased; how can they be reliable?”

      The BBC have degenerated into pure spite and is embarassing to watch. They cannot allow Boris to stay now after what they have done.

      The Lefties love it and their comments in the HYS the BBC regularly open for these articles are dripping with hate.

      I was mulling it over while painting something yesterday and it occurred to me that when the Right dislike someone on the Left, it’s because of their political views. For example, I detest what Starmer does as a politician – but I don’t hate him. I don’t even know him.

      But the Left actively hate people who disagree with them with a passion. They don’t just disagree with Boris or JRM : they absolutely hate them personally. Same as they did with Thatcher.

      This is one of the main difference I have seen between Left and Right since Brexit and is probably linked to how younger people tend to be Lefties whereas when they grow up and become more balanced, they understand the real world and move to the Right.

      Those who live in a far-Left bubble (like at the BBC or in the media) never grow up.

            Fascism (by the original definition, not the one the Left have changed it to so it specifically has ‘right-wing’ in it) is the intolerance of any and all opposing views and an active policy to shut them down.

      Is ending the last Covid rule brave or stupid?

      The last remaining Covid restriction in England could be gone in weeks, after the prime minister announced the legal requirement to isolate after a positive test may be scrapped early. The plan had been due to end it on 24 March – but if the trends remained positive, Boris Johnson said, it could go a month early. The move has taken many experts by surprise, with one describing it as either brave or stupid.

      As often with Covid, the evidence is unclear. Certainly questions are being asked about the politics of the move, with the prime minister under continuing pressure. But there is plenty of positive news in the latest data – as the prime minister suggested. Hospital cases are falling and, despite the large wave of Omicron infections, overall deaths have not risen above what would normally be seen in winter.

      Insulating draughty homes

      Two-thirds of homes, or 19 million households, need better insulation, according to government data – and with rising energy prices, why aren’t we doing it? It seems it could all be down to cost even though insulating draughty homes, the head of the UK’s Climate Change Committee says, is one of the ways out of the current energy crisis. Chris Stark rates government policy on insulation as “very poor”, and his assessment comes as Britain’s frequently described as having some of the oldest and least energy efficient housing in Europe. The government has previously acknowledged the importance of improving energy performance. Read more here.

    The quizmasters

    As we wish a fond farewell to a famous TV quizmaster: ‘The man with the biggest brain on the box: Playwright, publisher… and pioneer who built an opera house in his garden. There was so much more to Bamber Gascoigne, who’s died at 87, than just being the cleverest TV quizmaster, writes Christopher Stevens‘ (in the Mail)

    I would add – humourist – to the littany of Bamber’s raconteurial attributes. I once recall watching whilst he was hosting University Challenge, back in the day, he introduced a mathematical-themed segment of his quiz for teams of eager young undergraduates, with the deadpan line: “Now for a round on deviations… but not the sort you’re thinking of

    Some viewers may have found the show as dull as ditchwater – but it’s all about how you ask the questions.

    Is ending the last Covid rule “brave or stupid”?‘ asks Nick Triggle the BBC’s Health Correspondent. Quite why the dichotomous brave or stupid gets scare quotes is a question which might well serve as our starter for ten. Sorry to say, the answer to that momentarily escapes me. I think I would have to pass – as they say on Mastermind or phone a friend à la Who Wants to be a Millionaire. (Answer at end of this review)

    Apart from the fact the very name “Nick Triggle” sounds like the slightly coy or childish everyday term for some medical urinary tract problem, I would contend that brave or stupid is a highly loaded construction. How about asking does continuing covid restrictions – when clearly there is no actual pandemic – and when the economic, health and social chickens born of lockdown are coming home to roost – represent an over-cautious or daft decision?

    Johnson calls an end to restrictions – and to the pandemic‘ (Times)

    The BBC’s Nick Triggle ain’t the only coronaphobic who’s apparently not happy: ‘Scientist’s say “wholly wrong” that pandemic is over‘ (‘i’)

    But even the Guardian seems to be taking it on the chin – a place one notices many sport their loose futile gestures at facecoverings – as facemask wearing will of course remain a voluntary option and Guardianistas and civil servants (but I likely repeat myself) can take heart from: ‘Downing Street… confirmed people would be advised to avoid going to work if they tested positive for covid‘ – so go ahead, knock yourselves out with the testing.

    Cops may now probe PM’s party drinks quiz‘ (Mirror) – we’ll return to more quiz night fun and games shortly.

    In a classic display of exemplars on their frontpage the Gruan says white man bad, black woman good: ‘Life term for man who murdered two partners. Ian Stewart, 61 will die in prison‘; whereas ‘I started my own food hub. The woman who fed 100,000 people… “I was the angry black mother,” she says… “Angry at the world.” She lives in London Fields, Hackney… She is a single parent to a daughter and three sons; all of her sons have additional needs‘ – natuarally thre’s no mention of her partner in the lengthy Gruan feature but good for her. It is actually commendable that she is putting something back into society.

    One man finally gets a fine for kicking a live cat: ‘Zouma cats saved by RSPCA… £250,000 fine and dropped by W. Ham‘ (Sun)

    Whereas – the left-leaning press generate hype by flogging a dead horse: ‘More than 50 face police questions on partygate‘ (Guardian); ‘Police quiz Johnson and 50 staff for partying in lockdown‘ (‘i’)

    Puzzle answer – to the question of where the BBC’s Nick Triggle got his loaded money shot question: ‘Dr Simon Clarke, from the University of Reading, who called the move either “brave or stupid”, says the problem is nobody knows for sure what the impact will be.’ (BBC) – so that’s cleared that up then.

      The police force was politicised during the Blair regime. It’s modern purpose is to monitor and suppress dissent, plus collect revenue for the State by enforcing frivolous and arbitrary rules. There is litte intent to control real crime, of the sort that blightens and destroys people’s lives. Totalitarians see criminals as useful allies, who can help keep society in a state of fear and control: it is not a coincidence that one of the first things revolutionaries do is to free the prisoners, or that they were used to maintain order in both the Nazi and Soviet concentration camps.

      Some years ago, I spoke with a senior executive at one of Britain’s largest supermarkets. He was pondering the idea of a private police force: it would be a pay monthly service and there would be a booth in each store where crimes could be reported. Depending on the nature of the crime, they would offer advice, investigate, take action or refer to the authorities. He saw it as dealing with crimes such as theft, burglary, car crime and so on, thus freeing up the real police to concentrate on the ‘important stuff’. He described the relationship of this private police to the real one as analogous to that of pharmacies to the NHS, somewhere accessible and able to deal with the everyday stuff. He also pointed out that there was precedent for this sort of thing in the shape of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in the USA and that this would be similar, “but with loyalty card points”. My colleagues found this whole idea somewhat fanciful, but he insisted it would be a practical half-way house between the then recently introduced PCSO and the regular police.

      The intention of the globalists is to ration services such as health care, travel and energy, in order to maximise profits and reduce costs. Do not be surprised if law enforcement is also included – the campaigns to ‘defund the police’ are part of a well thought out strategy.

    Most here will recognise immediately that trying to halt the islamisation of the UK is a futile task. It is inevitable that the few percent of the population that is islam and / or the blacks will sooner or later, control everything. Our Government and all its MP’s seem oblivious or indeed enthusiastic at this ethnic cleansing. To my knowledge, no action either in place or proposed, will halt this.

    I vividly remember my very first flight into Jeddah Saudi Arabia. An altercation took place in the airport between an American and a Saudi. I know not for what. But arab security was quickly called in and I recall, before the yank was carted off, the Saudi spat at him. Brits will have to get used to this behaviour. It is commonplace in some primitive cultures.

    I see a new, ‘History Debunked’ video also tells a story (I’d call it ‘Fraud’) by the usual sleight of hand and deceit viewers of the BBC have come to expect of the BBC.

    Our sitting and democratically elected Prime Minister is under serious threat with the prospect of being ousted.

    He is under threat not from the electret but from the BBC and appalling media.

    How can this be right. The foul conduct of the BBC and other left wing media is taking away our democratic choice.

    But as we all know they have history with this type of behaviour. We all remember the BBC and the left desperately trying to reverse the choice of the people with regards to Brexit. It looks as though this type of behaviour is now becoming the norm.

    But not only the BBC and media have questions to answer, what about the conduct of certain Conservative MP’s, in particular the behaviour of William Wragg. By getting the police involved which incidentally has now proven to be a false allegation he not only put the Conservatives at risk but also a the political career of a fellow Conservative MP. This lump of Primordial Slime obviously has a serious beef with the PM and it seems he will do anything to oust him. If I was the PM I would seriously think about deselection.

    The arrogance of the BBC is capable. Not only is there bias out of control but they are not even trying to hide it.

    The only way stop this appalling behaviour is to stop funding asap, or the threat of it.

    Ah well, another day same old crap….

    So now we see the Police talking about investigating Boris’s nut nut for the obscene revamp of the Downing Street flat costing as much as some spend on a house (£120K)

    The Political Correctness Enforcement squad masquerading as a Police force are acting on invormation supplied by Labours (Red Labour) lawyers who say there is Primna Facie evidence for a bribery and corruption investigation.

    The sh*t keeps flying at Boris and will continue to do so, and the Tories are far too cowardly useless and incompetent to get rid of him despite the damage it is causing their party and gifting a lanslide to Red Labour come the next election.

    The evidence comes down to a Tory Donor Lord Brown who funded the revamp, and what appear to be promises made to green light a project of his called ‘The Great Exhibition”.

    For a long time I have talked on these pages about bribery and corruption being endemic in Britains political classes and possibly in Europe too, because of chronically low pay. Readers have said that they believe that bribery is a good thing provided they can save a ha’penny every decade, and some have gone so far as to say that politicians should not receive any pay at all, and instead rely on foreign countries to fund them, and of course do their bidding.

    Well here is even more evidence of the consequences of poor pay, I hope to see many people here defending bribery as a good thing as it allow poor pay to continue.

    Girls of Enghelab (Persian: دختران انقلاب) was a series of protests against compulsory hijab in Iran. The protests were inspired by Vida Movahed (Persian: ویدا موحد), an Iranian woman known as the Girl of Enghelab Street (Persian: دختر خیابان انقلاب), who stood in the crowd on a utility box in the Enghelab Street (Revolution Street) of Tehran on 27 December 2017, tied her hijab, a white headscarf, to a stick, and waved it to the crowd as a flag.[2][3][4][5] She was arrested on that day[4][5] and was released temporary on bail[6][7] a month later, on 28 January 2018.[8] Some people believe that Movahed’s action was based on Masih Alinejad’s call for White Wednesdays, a protest movement that the presenter at VOA Persian Television started in early 2017.[9][10][11] Other women later re-enacted her protest and posted photos of their actions on social media. These women are described as the “Girls of Enghelab Street”[10] and “The Girls Of Revolution Street”[12] in English sources. Some of the protesters claim that they didn’t follow Masih Alinejad’s call.[13][14][15][16]

    As you would expect bbbc radio newcastle this morning is full on against Boris’ decision to end restrictions if it’s safe to do so at the end of February.
    They have had their pet ‘experts’ on all saying it’s too dangerous and the usual stuff you get from them plus the carefully selected Vox pops and members of the public (one with cancer, another was in intensive care) all saying he (Boris) is wrong.
    So, nothing unusual there.

    They did have a break from attacking this by bringing up todays latest party pictures so they could attack him for a different reason.

    Cummings is playing the police brilliantly.
    Drip feeding pictures each day.
    Is there not a case to be made of wasting police time?
    If he has all these pictures and evidence of wrongdoing then shouldn’t he hand over all the evidence otherwise he could be done for withholding evidence.
    Still, it suits the police to used this way, it’s better than going after burglars and muggers but can’t anyone in the police see how they are having their strings pulled by Cummings.

    Parties and finishing restrictions early. Good job there’s nothing else going on around the world or nothing important at home worth reporting on.
