Midweek 18th September 2024

The latest in a long line of BBC sex offenders got a suspended sentence – sending out a sign that it’s okay to abuse . But what is it about the BBC that there are so many who don’t know the difference between right and wrong ? Or was that question just answered .?

    Huh?

    ‘Britain will not adopt the Italian-style tactic of intercepting migrants’ boats in the Channel and turning them back to France, an immigration minister has said.

    Dame Angela Eagle, the minister for border security, said the UK could not turn back boats without the agreement of France, whose policy is not to intercept them unless migrants ask to be rescued.’

    France won’t accept them….erm….so why do we accept them? Is she saying we agree to take them?

    The only way to stop the boats is to send them back immediately…tow the boats back to French waters and leave them there to be ‘rescued’ by the French. As long as they think they can get to Britain they will continue to come into France and then on to us. Stop the easy access to us and you’ll stop the trafficking.

    The French just don’t want to stop it…despite what the BBC tries to suggest, that it is impossible to spot these boats, it is pretty easy from tracking the migrants on shore as they arrange their trip to tracking the boats…technology is highly sophisticated and can spot people quite easily night and day….especially on a relatively flat surface such as the sea. Drones can cover large areas quickly…there’s no excuse for the French not to stop these boats.

    I suggest we charge the French for every illegal migrant they send here.

    Yeah, of course…it’s racism and profiling…..naturally not a word about the run-up to the police arresting him….

    ‘Police probe actor’s mistaken pepper-spray arrest’

    ‘Reece Richards, a star of the Netflix show Sex Education, was returning home to Fulham on 4 September after performing in the musical Hairspray when he says he witnessed a car crash and two men fleeing on foot.

    Despite pointing out the direction in which the two men had fled, he says four officers sat on him, worsening injuries to his back, ribs and stomach.

    A video, shared by Mr Richards and Hairspray director Brenda Edwards, appears to show a number of police officers holding an individual to the floor.’

    Trouble is nothing to show why the coppers did what they did…the BBC just by default claims racism….type of reporting that is fairly inflammatory as it spreads what is unproven information as fact knowing that such events are used to whip up anger and riots all too often.

    The BBC can hardly complain about social media and people on there speculating when they themselves deliberately broadcast provocative material.

    Will the BBC be prosecuted if riots ensue in such a situation…a BBC that always allows on Black voices that claim police are ‘executing’ or ‘assassinating’ Blacks?

    Sorry. Another Hugh Edwards post:

    Tim Davie, the BBC Director General says “He can’t see Edwards working at the BBC again”. Hang about. Did it cross anybody’s mind that there was any possibility that Edwards would ever be back at the BBC?

    Either Tim Davie thought that there was a chance or more likely Hugh Edwards has asked for a job. He possibly reckoned that as what he had done wasn’t so serious for a jail sentence or for a BBC employee. He honestly thought he would get back in.

    Edwards is a shameless, narcissistic pervert, pedophile.

    No! She deserves those free tickets . She is doing wonderfully public service by ensuring the great leaders ‘ needs are seen to – whether it’s ensuring he gets his free spectacle gifts or gifts for his wardrobe – and hers of course.

    Being a great leader brings huge responsibility – whether it be freezing 4000 old people to death each winter or freeing up prisoners so that online criminals who hurt no one can be sent away….

    The next village to ours , a bit bigger than ours, has a village hall and last weekend there was an Afghan evening there. Some woman who lives in the nearest town ten miles away is a member of Friends of Refugees or some such organisation had organised it to showcase Afghan food for some refugees who want to open a restaurant in the town. Tickets were £20.

    I am pleased to report that only twelve of the 48 places were taken and it is reported that most of those were the organisers friends.

    As one of Village Hall committee told me, we made money for the hire of the hall , they lost money . Hopefully , the message will spread that we are very unfriendly to any form of enrichment .

    As the press would have us turn our attention to fashion: Chic shortcut… Return of the microbob (Telegraph); Get you heels on… Dressing up is back again (Times); From bucket hats to Scampi Fries… The rise of Britishcore (Guardian) – Nope, me neither…?

    Our mat Matt in the Telegraph, the nation’s ace but lonely sole right-leaning cartoonist, depicts a protruding raised platform stage surrounded by row upon row of empty seats set up in a hall in preparation for: “At this year’s conference Keir Starmer will be doing a catwalk show…”

    Good gag. This of course in response to those Starmer couple freebies for grift stories: Lady Vic’s frocks and the Champagne Socialists who think they can do no wrong (Sarah Vine, Daily Mail)

    Victoria’s not so secret wardrobe malfunction

    Victoria Starmer at Fashion Week — she’s serious, elegant and ‘made in Britain’ She attended a show by Edeline Lee, a designer based in east London who has also dressed the Princess of Wales and Dame Helen Mirren… pictured at a London Fashion Week show wearing a custom-made designer top and trousers amid a row over her receiving free clothes. (Times) – nice bit of schmutter, luv, that’s none of yer rubbish, just pop up to Bond Street, they’re all wearing ’em – as they used to say.

    Guardian to the rescue: Starmer defended amid row over gifts – quick edit: Starmer defended amid row over gifts grifts

    Far be it from me to presume to give notes to our mate Matt – but I’ve an alternative caption for his cartoon sketch of that empty Labour conference hall with the hundreds of vacant seats: “At this year’s Labour conference Keir Starmer has told the delegates they can all work from home…”

    Teachers allowed to work from home… under Labour plans… (Telegraph); Labour not enforcing work from home rules… Ministers are quietly ignoring rules requiring civil servants to be in the office three days a week, saying they have no interest in policing home working (Times)

    PM’s wife enjoyed two free Swift concerts (Telegraph) – not too busy working from home (for the NHS) on those two ‘school nights’, eh luv?

    But hark! Who is that come riding bravely to the defence of our 2-Tier white knight and his lady love?

    Our BBC, obviously: Starmer says he wants ‘best people’ after cronyism claims… It follows a series of appointments of Labour-linked figures into official positions under fast-track procedures. (BBC, August)

    BBC shining armour is looking a tad tarnished at present – as usual.

    Enter a knight errant

    Pat McFadden… who as chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is the top minister in the Cabinet office, said there were reasons to be “ambitious and optimistic”… insisting the prime minister is a man of integrity who is not just delivering a diet of doom and gloom. (Guardian)

    What’s the problem, Keir? Is the corporate sector having some doubts over their new new Labour new flame?

    Negative Reeves will stifle investment, business fears… Corporate leaders… have warned the government’s tax-raising plans and negativity… risk undermining its efforts to attract investment (FT)

    But CBI… didn’t you understand… didn’t Mr AsI warn you – Labour is the trades union for the public sector…

    Pat McFadden spoke out… Public services such as the NHS, education and the criminal justice system “can be turned round” (Guardian)

    Yep, just you watch and enjoy what all those big public sector pay rises and cushy working from home benefits will do for public sector productivity – as the government puts us lot in the private sector back to work to pay higher and higher taxes to support them: Employment minister Alison McGovern has told the FT that jobcenters will spend less time policing the benefits system and more time helping people to find work (FT)

    And finally…

    Mr AsI is apt to dismiss the Telegraph as a sleepy, moany, do-nothing (that’s name-checked three of the seven dwarves) vaguley right-of-centre complaints box for a few surviving home counties retired army colonels sputtering over their cornflakes at the latest official woke-inspired bull crap.

    Yet the Torygraph, despite the taint of the word Tory, still yet employs our mate Matt – and on one particular bubbling under current hot-button issue – that will one fine day hence eventually, inevitably, explode to blow up the whole damned gig – they have been our lone dissenting mainstream voice…

    Covid vaccine killed healthy 27-year old (Telegraph)

    If only there were some official public inquiry, currently sitting… oh, you know how that goes…

    Israel planted explosives in thousands of Hezbollah pagers, reports say
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwyl9048gx8t

    The BBC are playing every trick in the book to make us empathise with the ‘victims’ of this attack. The fact they were all terrorists targetted in a brilliant tactical plot is not mentioned anywhere.

    Now they are doing their usual trick when they want to pull you to think how they want you to think : they are loading it with empathy and imagery:

    ‘Then we started seeing CCTV from inside shops and supermarkets of these small explosions targeting people doing their groceries or paying at the checkout.’
    Nope BBC. A blatant lie. They were targetting members of a terrorist group wherever they happened to be.

    It goes on and on. Lots of descriptions of the poor victims. Not a single word reminding us why they got hit.

    ‘Author and former BBC journalist Kim Ghattas was on her way home from a funeral in Beirut yesterday when the explosions started to happen.
    She describes to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that she felt “emotion after emotion and trauma after trauma”.’
    So the BBC are already seeking out like-minded ‘victims’ to interview. I’ll bet my hat they did not discuss the reasons it happened and how bad the terrorists are.

    What this attack REALLY tells us is that anyone who had one of these pagers was a Hezbollah terrorist.

    ‘Mojtaba Amani, the Iranian ambassador to Beirut, was injured following the pager explosions in Lebanon yesterday.’
    The headline here BBC is that the Iranian ambassador was actively involved with Hezbollah.

    Every person who got injured was a member of Hezbollah. Who are officially terrorists. Something the BBC are very, very reluctant to tell us.

    Perhaps a few recaps on some of the things these people did to warrant being designated as terrorists would provide some balance to justify what just happened. But the BBC NEVER do that so we can’t expect them to start now.

    The islamic bbc is beyond parody now with its blatant, continual bias towards this militant, violent, intolerant sector.

    Any close look at places where they are in charge shows without a shadow of a doubt that they are far from the world’s victims, and are, in fact, oppressors of the worse kind in every single example.

    And where they are not in charge but have a large presence they are even worse. Violence, terrorism, murder and rape are all prevalent again, in every single example.

    So, biased bbc, your empathy towards this mob means absolutely nothing to me or so many others who have eyes to see the reality of the behaviour of this medieval deathcult played out in front of us, wherever they are in the world.

    I know the press were very quick to tell us that a 9 year old girl was killed in the pager attack. What was she doing holding a Hezbollah pager? Has the BBC managed to find film of lots of children hurt by the pagers? 2700 pagers? Somebody must have done a quick headcount or known how many had been ordered. But just because someone had a pager he might not have been holding it at the time, in the shower perhaps? So how accurate is the 2700 figure. I think BBC Verify has a job to do.

      BBC Verify is a complete farce manned by quota-staff the other departments wanted rid of because they are useless. It’s purpose is to establish itself as some kind of fact-checking reference group so it can then be used strategically to reinforce the important agenda stories. That’s why they keep ‘verifying’ the most obvious and pointless ‘facts’ so we start to believe them.

        From the BBC:
        ‘Some suggested a hack may have caused the pager batteries to overheat, causing the devices to explode. Such an act would be unprecedented.’
        By reporting that, the BBC’s ‘Joe Tidy’ demonstrates he has no clue whatsoever about what he is writing.
        A battery never explodes like that – never mind 3000 of them simultaneously. The phrase is ‘vents with flames’ sort of like a blowtorch.
        Who is the clueless Joe Tidy ?. The male equivalent of the narcissistic female clones of course. There are just a lot less of them because of the sexist BBC hiring quotas.

          You know, the beauty if this story is that the BBC cannot focus on the poor, innocent victims like they do in Gaza because by definition : if they had one of these pagers, they were Hezbollah terrorists.

          If the BBC lay it on thick, they will be quickly accused of supporting terrorists and they can’t use their lies to justify it in another way.

    In the latest chapter of Labour’s cronyism saga, Starmer’s chief of staff Sue Gray is now pocketing a staggering £170,000 – £3,000 more than the Prime Minister himself. According to the BBC, Gray demanded the princely sum and ignored advice to take a few thousand less to ‘dodge this very story’…

    Not only does Gray’s salary dwarf that of her Tory predecessor Liam Booth-Smith, she previously led the crusade for austerity in adviser pay. Back in 2016, while she was at the Cabinet Office, she spearheaded the policy to cap SpAd salaries at £72,000—though she pushed for them to be even lower. Now she’s raking in 236% of the salary cap she enforced…

    The protection zones, which will prohibit protest, will extend to a 150-metre radius around abortion services and those convicted of breaking the new law will face an unlimited fine.

    Walkie-talkies explode in Lebanon a day after deadly pager blasts, reports say
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cwyl9048gx8t

    The BBC are wetting their panties again. They are way, way more concerned about this than they were about either attempt to assasinate Trump.

    They are right on the line for the language they are using to infer Israel are the villains here.

    ‘Notoriety:
    the state of being famous or well known for some bad quality or deed.’

    ‘But it is Mossad’s covert operations that have gained it the most notoriety. After the 1972 massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics, Mossad operatives hunted down and killed everyone responsible.’
    Doesn’t sound like a ‘bad deed’ to me BBC. Sounds like justice and a deterrent to other terrorists.
    And why didn’t you include this as it is extremely relavant:
    ‘… orchestrated by affiliates of the Palestinian militant group Black September’ ?.

    It seems to me that as these walkie-talkies were procured at exactly the same time as the pagers, the two terrorist groups were working very closely together.

    Well done Israel. You have learned the hard way what is the only way to defeat Islamic terrorists : go after them. Do not appease them.

    No question at all whose side the BBC are on here. They will be desperately scouring the news for anyone killed who is not a terrorist so they can load up a ‘victim’ story with empathy. They will really want pictures of a young child covered in blood, but a young woman would do at a pinch.

    They will ignore the other 99% because they will be adult males who clearly are.

      It’s a shame that the Hamas + Hezbollah rockets are mostly so crude – the idea of getting them to U-turn back to the launch site – I bet the Israelis are on that ….

    Listening to R4 this morning and they were talking about the floods in Eastern Europe…naturally climate change came up as the presenter wanted to know if flooding was getting worse.

    The guest expert said that people forget…floods, much bugger floods than these, have happened many times before and that just because they haven’t happened in our lifetime doesn’t mean it’s the ‘worst ever’.

    And then the real problem as a Labour MP comes on to talk about foreign aid money…she immediately linked it to the previous chat about flooding and said this is what we are spending our foreign aid on..to help mitigate climate change…never mind the flood expert dismissed the idea that it was climate change.

    They’re fixated on ‘doing something’ and they’ve got climate in their sights…and regardless of facts or dire outcomes from their policies they’ll keep on going for that nut zero to the point of ruination…ours not theirs…they’ll be alright.

    Oh and yes…Liddle was right, not just that Lammy is thick, but that he said fatherless children commit more crimes…later attacking Liddle for saying the same…’white privilege’ apparently and Liddle was a ‘national disgrace’ for saying the same about absent fathers..oh and a ‘“a living, breathing personification and definition of white middle class privilege.” ‘….

    ‘David Lammy MP says absent fathers ‘key cause of knife crime”
    ‘A London MP has suggested that absent fathers are a key cause of knife crime.

    Tottenham Labour MP David Lammy said most young people who have stabbed someone to death come from single parent families.

    Former gang member Sheldon Thomas, now a government advisor on youth violence, said he agreed with Mr Lammy “100%”.’
