People felt they had lost control of their country….they were right….

Labour couldn’t jail the bankers because they gave them free rein to do what they liked…bankers would be in jail next to Gordon Brown.

The BBC continues as per normal…spinning against the Tories….here trying to say the budget is being rigged purely in the Tory Party’s interest and not national interest…

Chancellor Philip Hammond plans to use “headroom” in the public finances to target spending on housing and health, a close friend has told the BBC.

Stephen Hammond – a former transport minister – said the chancellor wants to use next Wednesday’s Budget to “attack problems” that contributed to the Tories’ poor election performance.

…..the chancellor was planning to use the Budget to reach out to voters who had abandoned the Tories.

Trouble is that isn’t what he said…it’s pure BBC spin, their own interpretation….He actually said the Chancellor had been listening to criticism of his policies…..nothing about voters and using the budget to win them around to vote Tory.  That might well be the case but Stephen Hammond didn’t say that in the clip or in their report…the BBC kindly provides us with his words so you can judge…

“I think what the chancellor will be doing is saying, ‘Look it would be silly to throw away all the good work we’ve done in getting down the deficit level, we’re about to turn the corner on debt but yes of course I am listening.

“‘In my autumn statement I created some headroom… and I will be looking at what… ways that headroom could be used to attack the problems that so many people have spoken to me about.'”

‘of course I am listening‘…from that they create a whole negative narrative that wasn’t intended by the speaker.

When Corbyn bought the ‘youth’ vote with promises to relieve them of their student debts where were the BBC digs that this was Corbyn buying votes and rigging the election with what were, as we now know, hollow promises that he never intended to keep?  The BBC of course went out of its way to get the ‘youth’ to vote.

The BBC rigging the next election?  Probably why they have been concentrating their fire on mental health services over the last couple of years after the Tories cut provision….you cannot switch on 5 Live without hearing the latest sob story about the crisis in the NHS and in particular in mental health.

Kinnock must be pleased that the BBC took his advice:

Another open thread….list the BBC’s endless bias here……

For your entertainment…..

Don’t vote for Corbyn….he might rule for ever and ever…

World’s first human head transplant successfully carried out

The world’s first human head transplant has been carried out on a corpse in China in an 18-hour operation that showed it was possible to successfully reconnect the spine, nerves and blood vessels. 

At a press conference in Vienna on Friday morning, Italian Professor Sergio Canavero, director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, announced that a team at Harbin Medical University had “realised the first human head transplant” and said an operation on a live human will take place “imminently”.

The operation was carried out by a team led by Dr Xiaoping Ren, who last year successfully grafted a head onto the body of a monkey. 

Prof Canavero, said: “The first human transplant on human cadavers has been done. A full head swap between brain dead organ donors is the next stage.

“And that is the final step for the formal head transplant for a medical condition that is imminent….’

The BBC of course might say May is ahead of him….so robotic is she.

Have to say the scientist who has led this operation kind of lives up to stereotypical expectations….

And just to gross you out some more…..

Poor old Gladstone…who knew?  Such a bad lad.  Not a supporter of slavery but not a vocal abolitionist, and one who benefitted from his father’s ownership of slaves….apparently “a racially marred legacy” which we must  reject along with everything else he did.

Not long ago, as per the BBC film above, he was ‘one of the greatest Britons of all time’, an ‘outstanding prime minister’, an ’eminent chancellor of the exchequer’, those facts alone are ‘hugely impressive‘ but he dominated political life and ‘improved the lives of millions’ changing politics forever.

How soon forgotten as BME activists try to blacken his name and scrub it from history…the BBC’s run down of Gladstone’s life as it reports that?

Liberal politician Gladstone is the only person to have been prime minister on four separate occasions.

He is described as having “ultra-conservative” views and spoke out against abolition in Parliament because his family had slaves on their West Indian plantation.

And that’s it in two reports, very short reports on this subject….one of them bigging up the conceited Jon Snow far more than Gladstone.

No quote from those with a more rounded view of life such as….

Richard Kemp, leader of the Liberal Democrats in Liverpool, told the Liverpool Echo the debate was tokenistic and that Gladstone was “a worthy recipient of honours”. “He was born on Rodney Street [in Liverpool], and was the only person who has been prime minister on four occasions,” he said.

“His government laid the basis of the welfare state, widened who could vote and did so many things we take for granted in this country. We should be incredibly proud of him. Gladstone was without doubt an abolitionist – precisely what he argued to get it through is not for me to doubt.”

Maybe we should ban the name ‘Bevin’ after all he conscripted all those poor lads to work in the coal mines during the war…and what of those conscripted to fight?…so many sent to their deaths on the orders of politicians at home.  What of the press gangs and those deported to the colonies?  Who ordered that?  Find their names and erase them from history.  Who put all those people in the work houses or indeed in the factories that were such places of fun and comfort?

Life’s hard, often made harder by those in charge, then you die.  Black people [often sold by other black people] weren’t the only ones ‘enslaved’ in reality.  As Marx might say…“You have nothing to lose but your chains!”

And maybe Muhammed should also fall…’temples’ around the country celebrate this slaver and warlord.  Let’s see some radical student activist trying to get their name in the papers take a stab at denouncing him and his ideology….the living document and guide to all things Islamic, the Koran, after all approves of slave taking…hence ISIS.  Ban the Koran!  No?

And whilst looking at various sources for this  post I came across this from the Guardian…of course….

The National Service Act was the negative counterpart of the NHS, whereby civilians were dragooned into compliance with the demands of the state. Its chief proponent was Field Marshal Montgomery, the posturing bully who was in a permanent panic of denial about his repressed homosexuality, and hoped to use military service to mould national character towards chaste combative virility. For many conscripts their sense of the state was not the benign NHS but the bullying of national service square-bashing.

That’s another British heroic figure to cross off the list for repressing his homosexuality[?] and not openly supporting the LGBTUPUXVVBQ community.

Churchill describing the rise of Communism…..

‘In a speech to the House of Commons on November 5, 1919, Winston Churchill said: “…Lenin was sent into Russia … in the same way that you might send a vial containing a culture of typhoid or of cholera to be poured into the water supply of a great city, and it worked with amazing accuracy. No sooner did Lenin arrive than he began beckoning a finger here and a finger there to obscure persons in sheltered retreats in New York, Glasgow, in Berne, and other countries, and he gathered together the leading spirits of a formidable sect, the most formidable sect in the world … With these spirits around him he set to work with demoniacal ability to tear to pieces every institution on which the Russian State depended.”’

Sounds kind of familiar doesn’t it that description of how a violent ideology is spread around an unwitting victim country?

Adding to the post on Tommy Robinson and the great and the good’s refusal to admit what is happening….and indeed to actively work to cover it up telling us there is no problem, in fact, they tell us, the ‘problem’ is actually the solution and should be welcomed and embraced….because they have absolutely no intention of tackling that problem due to its embedded nature and the fact that they created it themselves making it intractable and almost impossible to deal with now without major upheaval on their watch….leaving it to future generations to handle the resultant massive conflict and bloodshed that will almost inevitably be the consequence of today’s lack of backbone and character.

Niall Ferguson in the Sunday Times writes…

We let Lenin rise, millions died.  Now it’s Islamism.

The West failed to stop communism and is repeating the awful blunder.

 

According to The Black Book of Communism the grand total of victims of communism was between 85 and 100 million.

All communist regimes everywhere, without exception, were merciless in their treatment of “class enemies” and aggressive too, invading country after country during the cold war.

Could more have been done to stop the Bolshevik pandemic that broke out in Russia in 1917?

The problem was that people underestimated Lenin & Co.  They seemed an unruly bunch of intellectuals: writers of pamphlets, makers of speeches.  No contemporary western observer thought for a moment that their crackpot coup would last.

Foreign intervention, incompetent liberals, clueless bankers: that makes three reasons the Bolsheviks weren’t stopped….along with so many fellow travellers….who so shamefully betrayed their country to Stalin and turned a blind eye to communism’s crimes.

Another reason that the communist virus continued to spread for so long was that good men underestimated the Soviet threat and were assailed by doubts about how much should be done to resist it…often lacking the stomach for the fight and succumbing to relativism…perhaps everything was really the fault of the United States.

Have we learnt anything from this history?

Not nearly enough.

What concerns me is the entirely familiar response we see to a different but, to mind, equally dangerous threat…the rise of militant Islam.  Millions of dollars that have found their way from the Gulf to radical mosques and Islamic centres in the West.  Incompetent liberals – the proponents of multiculturalism who brand any opponent of Jihad an “Islamophobe”.  Clueless bankers who fall over themselves to offer “sharia compliant” loans and bonds.  Fellow travellers – the leftists who line up with the Muslim Brotherhood to castigate Israel at every opportunity.  And the faint-hearted – those who were so quick to pull out of Iraq in 2009 that they allowed the rump of al-Qaeda to morph into ISIS.

We are repeating the catastrophic error of the Bolsheviks.  I fear that we shall wake with a start to discover that the Islamists have repeated the Bolshevik achievement, which was to acquire the resources and capability to threaten our existence.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

Which is why the BBC makes enormous effort to rewrite the past, British Empire bad, Muslim empire…a Golden Age.

And of course it’s not just militant Islam that the BBC supports….that virus ‘Bolshevism’ is on a surge…..Corbyn and his fanatical supporters are riding the wave….the “class enemies” must know what is coming….there’s been plenty of warning….Kuenssberg herself must know…bodyguard and all.  ‘Crackpot’ Corbyn should not be underestimated, nor should what would be the ultimate result of his power grab as his cohorts seek to ensure the revolution is safeguarded ‘for the good of the people’.  Corbyn’s sinister running mate, McDonnell, cheered on the IRA to use bullets and  bombs  to ‘unite Ireland’ and ‘joked’ about kneecapping those who were slow to come round to their way of thinking.  By all means necessary.

So David Miliband is back on our shores…not to lead his party to the great heights many in the BBC hope but to flog a book and at the same time to lecture us on how we must open the borders to all and sundry…he will then fly back to his comfy, metropolitan life and chums in Manhattan to count his money and the luxury he so much deserves [er…remind me what he has ever actually done?].  Emma Barnett was all over him yesterday oozing gleeful joy at his every word and Justin Webb this morning lapping it up and joining in the chorus as Webb told us of the ‘refugees fleeing poverty in search of a better life’.  The BBC redefining what a refugee is, saves the UN a bit of time I suppose.  Thanks BBC.  Economic migrants are not refugees.

Miliband spoke complete rubbish the whole time with two targets in mind, one to fling open our borders and two, to malign and vilify Trump at every turn.  Apparently Trump is redefining politics in America, in a bad way…it is now a zero sum game where if America wins everyone else must lose…except that’s not what Trump says, Trump thinks the US is unfairly losing out on trade deals and wants to renegotiate them in order to make them fairer to the US….he isn’t seeking to asset strip any country that wants to trade with the US.

Then Miliband claims the world’s problems are because Trump has withdrawn the US from the world and his responsibilities…er…..North Korea?  Iran?  Middle East, Syria, Israel?  And looking to do deals around the world….how many trips has he made in one year already as he tours the world?  It was Obama who withdrew from the world and his responsibilities…abandoning Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria…resulting in the rise of the Islamic State and the refugee crisis in Europe.  An Obama who signed up to any old deal that on the face of it looked good but in reality were highly damaging…Iran and Paris Climate agreement spring to mind….done to win the plaudits of his fellow lefty metropolitan elite backers, not done for any genuine beneficial reasons.

Justin Webb made no attempt to challenge Miliband’s claims of course.

Just the usual BBC…bringing on people they know will mouth the correct version of what the world should look like…one coincidentally held by the BBC…oddly enough.

Nothing to do with BBC bias just needed noting…..’150 dead’ Lily Allen gone totally silent as the final death toll from the Grenfell tragedy is made public…….

Grenfell Tower final death toll stands at 71

Seventy one victims of the Grenfell Tower fire have been formally identified and police believe that all those who died have now been recovered.

The number of victims includes baby Logan Gomes, who was stillborn in hospital on 14 June, the day the 24-storey blaze broke out.

The final two victims to be formally identified have been named as Victoria King and daughter Alexandra Atala.

The Met said it was providing “every support we can” to the bereaved.

For some reason the BBC aired her comments about the death toll  [and immigrants] and were going to have her on Newsnight…why?  Just because she is a ‘celebrity’?  It is the usual BBC tactic that might indicate it thinks the rest of us are stupid and that we will hang on every word of what some well known singer or comedian says about the latest geopolitical situation.  The BBC wheels in endless rafts of these celebs to  regale us with their beautiful thoughts and why we should hate Trump and dump Brexit.   If they want to emote about these subjects and sob into their bank balances then let them write a song about it or a joke or two….don’t give them privileged access to one of the most powerful and influential news organisations in the world to peddle their crap conspiracy theories.  Thankyou.

Maybe it was about BBC bias after all.

Tummy bug ????

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

It 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.

Mehdi Hasan

The BBC seems quite happy to try and keep a lid on any idea that a Muslim might have anti-Semitic ideas, especially one in the Labour Party and a big fan of Corbyn.

Nasreen Khan has resigned from the Labour Party and the BBC has tucked the story away on the Leeds local page just as you had to go to the London page to find this….Emma Dent Coad MP (Labour) apologises over ‘racist blog post’.

However remember the highly publicised fury at Kevin Myers who made a hash of trying to praise what he said was Jewish peoples’ characteristic of striving hard to be successful and he was crucified for it…and sacked.

And if you say…well Khan’s only trying to be a councillor think what the BBC did to UKIP councillor Rozanne Duncan in the run up to the Brexit referendum…they concocted a hatchet job programme about UKIP and months before it was due to go on air [timed to run as near as possible to the referendum] they leaked out that a UKIP councillor had made outrageously racist remarks, she hadn’t, but that didn’t stop the BBC allowing her to be absolutely monstered by the usual suspects for months on end and labelled a racist.

One rule for Corbyn’s fanclub, another for white males working for right-leaning papers.
