Hillary Clinton so shocked and appalled at the Dem’s big donor’s behaviour that she’ll be handing back all the money….or will she?…Marr didn’t ask the very obvious question.
Maybe Clinton was in fact shocked and appalled at Marr’s interview…it did seem as if rather than setting out to actually quiz Clinton with some tough questions, such as her own husband’s abuse of power to pull the girls, [Clinton was allowed to brush that off], Marr was using the interview to attack Trump, which oddly enough seemed to be Clinton’s aim as well…Marr and Clinton working together to smear the President…no bias there.
Marr allowed Clinton to claim Trump was a self-admitted sex attacker when in fact all he has done is make sexist comments in private, he then asked if Trump and Weinstein were ‘deep down the same kind of person’. So let’s be clear, Marr is suggesting Trump is a possible serial rapist, sex abuser and bully who uses his power to make women do what he wants judging by the allegations against Weinstein. Just astonishing that such accusations can so casually slip off the tongue of a BBC journalist making the most outrageous, poisonous and damaging of accusations just because he doesn’t like Trump.
Marr then doubles up on the toxic and malign disparagement aimed at Trump by suggesting he hates women. I would have thought that it was perfectly obvious that the opposite is true….he has done much to advance women’s careers and has promoted many to his administration.
This was more anti-Trump character assassination than a useful interview, Marr making little attempt to get under the skin of Clinton and rattle her cage….he even allowed her to make an assinine comparison that ‘proves’ Trump hates women….apparently his cold shouldering of Merkel and his warm approach to May is evidence of this hatred…not sure how that works…only in Clinton’s bitter little brain. Astonishing how bitter these left-wing losers are….Remoaners and Dems.
Wonder if all those ‘brave’ women whose careers were launched from Weinstein’s casting couch will be handing back the ill-gotten gains….their success won by allowing themselves to be bullied or cajoled into ‘prostituting’ themselves….they could have said ‘no’ but didn’t because they feared for their careers. An excuse this morning…Weinstein was so powerful he could destroy their careers if they talked so they didn’t talk….so their careers came first [no pun intended] before naming and shaming a possible rapist…and why did Rose McGowan ‘report’ Weinstein to an Amazon executive and not the police? She now attacks Amazon but takes no responsibility herself? So brave.
Addressing Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos on Twitter, McGowan – who has appeared in Scream, The Black Dahlia and TV series Charmed – criticised the company for doing business with Weinstein.
“I told the head of your studio that HW raped me,” she wrote. “Over & over I said it. He said it hadn’t been proven. I said I was the proof.”
Marr’s characterisation of Trump as a woman hater is shameless, and shameful, fake news that is just the ‘liberal elite’ hitting out at someone who doesn’t play by their rules….he could report this…
President Donald Trump signed two laws on Tuesday that authorize NASA and the National Science Foundation to encourage women and girls to get into STEM fields. Those are science, technology, engineering and math.
The Inspire Act directs NASA to promote STEM fields to women and girls, and encourage women to pursue careers in aerospace.
“It’s not fair and it’s not even smart,” Trump said of the low percentage of women with STEM degrees who actually work in the field. About a quarter of the women with STEM degrees work in the field.
Or this…from the anti-Trump Washington Post which makes the mistake in its overall analysis of thinking that because Trump insults some women it means he hates women…rather than thinking that these are insults directed at the person, such as Clinton, regardless of their sex…..
Many women who have worked closely with Trump say he was a corporate executive ahead of his time in providing career advancement for women. While some say he could be boorish, his companies nurtured and promoted women in an otherwise male-dominated industry. Several women said they appreciated how Trump granted them entry to a new playing field.
“From the standpoint of being a woman, I just thought he was phenomenal,” said Sunshine, 74. “So supportive and encouraging. . . . He gave me the ropes, and I could either hang myself or prove myself.”
Jennifer Crisafulli-Oberting, 43, a contestant on the Trump reality TV show “The Apprentice” who went on to promote the show in media appearances with Trump, said she felt she was being welcomed into the “boys’ club” — but on her terms.
“You were like one of the guys right off the bat, but you didn’t have to act or dress like one of the guys,” she said.
Trump often told the women he employed and worked with that he valued those he believed would stand their ground on construction sites and in legal battles. He called Barbara Res, whom he put in charge of the construction of his now-iconic Trump Tower in 1980, “a killer,” she recalled. And he used to tell her and others that “men are better than women, but a good woman is better than 10 good men.”
“He wasn’t discriminatory against women that I saw,” said Res, now in her 60s and owner of a construction consultancy.
The BBC‘s director of news and current affairs James Harding is to stand down from the role after five years to start a new media firm.
The former Times editor – appointed in April 2013 – will leave the corporation in the new year to set up his own media venture with a ‘distinct approach to the news’.
Harding, 48, called working at the broadcaster ‘rewarding and worthwhile’ and said his new company would focus on journalism that the BBC ‘for all its brilliance, can’t, and probably shouldn’t, do’.
He added: ‘And that’s what I want to explore: I am going to start a new media company with a distinct approach to the news and a clear point of view.
Corbyn has been saying the same thing for a long time now and his fellow travellers at the BBC have been campaigning[and yes that is the right word] along similar lines constantly attacking Saudi Arabia for its alleged human rights failures in the war in Yemen demanding arms sales stop.
Today, as BAE Systems says it will cut jobs due to sales to the likes of Saudi Arabia drying up, Labour are up in arms…
Nia Griffith, Labour’s shadow defence secretary, said: “This is truly appalling news for BAE’s workers and for communities across the UK.
“The jobs that BAE are cutting are highly skilled and their loss will be felt in areas that have a strong tradition of defence manufacturing.
“It is time for the Government to address the clear uncertainty that is felt by the industry and come forward with an urgent plan to save these jobs.
“This must include the possibility of bringing forward orders to provide additional work for BAE’s employees, such as replacing the Red Arrows’ fleet of Hawk aircraft that are approaching the end of their service life.”
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has warned BAE Systems risks losing its government defence contracts if Labour wins the election, unless its top boss agrees to a reduction in pay.
Amusingly Emma Barnett actually tackled Labour on their hypocrisy on this issue [Chi Onwurah, Labour MP for Newcastle Central & Shadow Minister for Industrial Strategy, Science & Innovation]….which is all well and good if it weren’t for the fact that the BBC is equally guilty of exactly the same hypocrisy, calling for arms sales to Saudi Arabia to be stopped but expressing dismay and shock at job losses …er…due to a failure to sell arms to Saudi Arabia. Amused the Labour MP completely at sea on this. Good to know industry, science and innovation safe in her hands should she ever be in government 🙁
The British vote for Brexit and are called Fascists and racists, the Spanish try to stop an independence movement and keep Catalonia in Spain and the EU and they are Fascists for doing so….Sometime BBC contributor Jake Wallis Simpson [he who also decided he didn’t like Buddhists as they were so violent…Muslims on the other hand]…..
The fascists, I realised, had based themselves in a pub next door. I went in, filming on my GoPro, and saw police drinking with far-Right thugs, smiling as they were serenaded with Sieg Heils.
I just filmed these guys doing Nazi salutes outside Barcelona police station to praise last week’s brutal riot cops pic.twitter.com/pIS6pQdLu1
Far-right activists hand-in-glove with police: it’s hard to think of a clearer illustration of the rude health of fascism in modern Spain.
Astonishing how a few numpties sieg heiling in Spain suddenly represent the whole of Spain [Catalonia aside]….JWS able to declare Spain is back in the Franco era on the strength of a few Fascist salutes…never mind the ‘referendum’ was illegal and in essence an attempted coup to hijack part of Spain by a small goup of people who have whipped up a storm. The difference to Brexit is that Brexit was legal, representative and the result valid and authenticated. Didn’t stop the BBC declaring we are heading towards a facist state though.
The BBC’s very own hate crime against half the population.
For years the BBC has been trying to pin the blame for low productivity on austerity, they kept on raising the subject and telling us how awfully awful this was and yet they just couldn’t find a reason for it…it was all a big puzzle….wilfully avoiding mentioning that mass immigration of cheap labour meant low wages and little research, development and investment in skills by Business.
However, glory be, the BBC has discovered the solution, the Puzzle is no more. Do I need to go on or have you guessed already? Yes that’s right kids, Brexit caused the Productivity Puzzle….never mind that Brexit was only in 2016….so no wonder the economists were puzzled in 2012…the future hadn’t caught up with the BBC’s alternate world of facts…
By Andrew WalkerBBC World Service Economics correspondent
18 October 2012
However last week we were told by the BBC that it was Brexit that had caused low productivity…..uncertainty meant that industry didn’t invest in new technology and training and so couldn’t up its game.
But wait there’s an answer…..the BBC’s answer is that…..more immigration….we should bring in more cheap labour which can produce the same or more for less money…therefore raise productivity, not by goods produced/man hour but goods produced/low wage….yep…more immigration. You couldn’t make it up.
Hmmm…that’s in fact what has been going on all along, importing cheap labour….and it has been caused by lack of investment and training. So far from Brexit causing low productivity and lack of investment, it is that refusal to invest in technology and training, preferring to import mass cheap labour instead, that helped to lead to Brexit.
The BBC has completely inverted cause and effect in order to try and blame Brexit for something that is not its fault in the slightest…how could it be when low productivity has been going on for many, many years?
Curiously the BBC website doesn’t go down the same route as its man on the radio did, blaming Brexit. The website in fact gives us the truth and gives the lie to years of BBC smoke and mirrors about immigration being good for the economy as they told us it meant the economy, GDP, grew…..growth in GDP is not the same as higher productivity which is how you actually grow wealth…
Here’s the answer. An economy is merely people and their economic activity (buying, selling, working, saving etc). So you can grow it without any improvements in productivity, by simply adding people to the workforce, be they EU migrant workers or pensioners choosing not to retire yet.
And that is what our economy has been doing – without improving the amount each worker produces. If you want to know why average wages haven’t improved much in the same period, flat productivity is a big part of the answer.
So the BBC finally admits mass immigration has not been beneficial to the economy and has in fact led to low wages….low wages another one regularly blamed on austerity by the BBC. The truth will out eventually.
Jim Naughty interviewed Wee Shuggy this morning and I was pleased to have come away with a new way of looking at life.
Apparently Brexit has meant Britain has descended into chaos and uncertainty [?], this proves that Scotland would be better off independent and able to run its own affairs…therefore vote for independence….would that be a Scottishit?
Hmmm….so independence from the EU brings chaos and uncertainty, to escape that Scotland must go independent…not just from Britain but of course from the EU as it would have to rejoin….perhaps not something Spain, and the EU itself, might agree with. Any chance such a move would be equally or more than likely more chaotic and uncertain that Brexit?
Shame Naughty didn’t see fit to raise that failure of logic on Wee Shuggy’s part.
The best things come in threes so they say and the BBC must agree as it lectures us on what we can say and think.
We’ve had Nihal educating stupid white people who think mass immigration has been bad for the housing market.
We’ve had Nicky Campbell telling us we can’t compare the EU to the Soviet era….that’s just hysterical nonsense.
And now we’ve had Norman Smith telling us we can’t have a ‘No Deal’ even if it’s better than a bad deal.
Which is a shame as he has decided that a ‘No deal’ is the most likely outcome of Brexit negotiations. And you know whose fault it is? Ours. Well, the British government’s due to its inability to tell the EU clearly what it wants, and this is due to a lack of unity and clarity in the Cabinet. [Hmmm…if there is any lack of unity it would be due to Remainers like Hammond and Rudd trying to stop Brexit..sack ’em May!] How is it that the intransigent, bullying and dictatorial EU is never to blame?
Remainders, he tells us, will think this outcome a ‘Horror’ due to the dreadful ramifications for the economy…however hardline Brexiteers will welcome it regardless.
But, Norman tells us, a No Deal is a route that is not to be considered…it’s just too terrible to contemplate. Nice of Norman to save May the trouble of formulating any policy herself…she can just give him a ring at the BBC anytime she has particularly thorny problem regarding Brexit.
Looking at the comments it seems I’m not the only one to have heard Norman’s wisdom….
Absolute rubbish from Norman Smith on WATO, just now, proclaiming that the reason why ‘no deal’ seems to be looming is because the Cabinet is so divided that the UK is unable to tell the EU what sort of deal it is that Britain wants.
This, of course, is simply the BBC peddling the EU’s lies for it. The truth is that the EU is deliberately obfuscating and prevaricating in the hope that the massed voices of Quislings like the BBC will somehow magically convince the UK to change its decision.
This really is disgraceful behaviour from the BBC and there needs to be a reckoning.
For some of you history is over, it’s back to the Thirties for you, no bright, shining future, no heading off to infinity and beyond for you. You being nasty little Brexit voters.
The BBC has spent years telling us that we are heading back to the Thirties….they loved to conjure up that dark, forebidding image when talking about Tory austerity, once claiming in a complete lie that spending was heading back to thirties’ poverty levels, a low level of spending never reached before…
“It is utterly terrifying, suggesting that spending will have to be hacked back to the levels of the 1930s as a proportion of GDP.
“That is an extraordinary concept, you’re back to the land of Road to Wigan Pier.”
….hmmm…except in 2001 when Labour were in power and the economy was in the black…but let’s not mention that…and of course the BBC never then suggested Blair and Co were taking us back to the era of Nazis and death camps…only the Tories can take us there!
The ‘Back to the Fascist Thirties’ narrative was disinterred for Brexit under Project Fear and the BBC began its labelling of Brexit supporters as racist little englanders who were the vanguard of a sinister rise of nationalism across Europe, Hilter was back stalking the innocent lands of the EU with malign intent.
Amused then to hear Nicky Campbell try to smack down a caller who compared the unelected EU to the Communist era and mentioned the Nazis. Campbell thought this was a hysterical exaggeration…the EU is a lovely, humane, compassionate organisation that brought peace to Europe…didn’t it?
As the caller pointed out you cannot get rid of the EU….it is unelected and if you do not like its policies, such as forcing migration upon your country, then that’s just too bad. This is the EU that was quite happy to see massive force used against the Catalans, that was happy to take control of the Italian government and impose its own as it did with Greece…before beggaring it. The same EU that had an iron grip on Ireland and which forced countries to keep voting until they came up with a result the EU liked. And of course look how they try to treat the UK…rather than a sensible, mutually beneficial agreement, they seek to punish and undermine the UK whilst dictating terms to us.
Funny how the BBC feels entitled call Brexit voters nazis and racists, as well as anyone who votes Tory, and to tell us that the horrors of the Thrities will be visited upon us again #duetobrexitorausterity but anyone else doesn’t have the right to make any similar comparisons of their own. Apparently ‘Back to the Thirties’ is BBC copyright.
Oh and on austerity…who is to blame?…let’s just remind ourselves and of how long it was predicted to last…by the IFS in 2009….
An even higher percentage of the electorate are probably unaware that based on current government forecasts, Britain’s is facing not one but “two parliaments of intensifying pain”, as the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) predicted.
The IFS said that for each of the next eight years, a new round of cuts will have to be found to fill the black hole in the nation’s finances – a hole the Treasury estimates amounts to a £90bn shortfall between tax revenues and government spending.
Nihal on 5 live seems to have a very big chip on his shoulder when it comes to white people and British society, he being one of the many BBC presenters who declared Britain is a more racist and nasty place #duetoBrexit. Could he get away with saying the same about Muslim immigration? Not that he ever would of course for many reasons, one being that he sees absolutely no problem with immigration, people who want to control immigration he does see a problem with.
5 Live is looking at housing and have received several messages saying that housing shortages are due to massive immigration to this country…which you might think was uncontroversial and fairly obvious. But you’d be wrong because Nihal knows better than you. He’s straight in with his little book of everything to tell us that Jim Callaghan built 250,000 houses and therefore this proves we had a problem before mass immigration began, thus this disproves the ‘opinion’, Nihal only deals in facts you understand, that immigration causes a shortage of housing.
Almost guarantee Nihal got his fact from reading the Guardian as he just about quoted it word for word….
The last time the country built more than the 250,000 houses a year now needed to keep up with the rate of new household formation was under Labour’s Jim Callaghan in 1978
Nihal asserted aggressively his opinion that his facts trump anyone else’s ‘opinion’…he’s sorry about that but he cannot allow you to simplify the world….there are no easy solutions…the world is more nuanced….you must think more and try to understand come on keep up you stupid racist white people…..as he opines that Trump is an idiot. Plenty of thought and nuance there from Noitall.
So let’s be clear….we were building 250,000 houses in 1978 and this shows, says Nihal, that we had a housing problem then…thus, says Nihal, the housing problem now is not due to mass immigration…we have an underlying problem. Of course he doesn’t say how many houses were being knocked down…perhaps many were slum clearances as in the 1920’s and thus new builds were merely replacements not additional stock. More nuance…life’s so difficult. And in 1978 we had a population of 56 million, 2002 59 million, today it’s 66 million [at least 4 million added in the last 15 years or so due to immigration]….not more nuance…when will it end?
Hmmm….er….so if we have an underlying problem with a population that doesn’t include millions of migrants would adding millions of migrants not add to that problem? Or is that a bit too nuanced for you Nihal?
Just love BBC smart alecs telling us we are too thick to understand the problems and we need to think a bit more about things. Well I’ve thought about it and mass immigration, on numbers alone never mind culture, beliefs and values, is a huge problem for housing, schools, the NHS, the roads, water, power and of course land…just where does the deep thinking Nihal think all these houses are going to be built…up there with his pie in the sky? And of course who is going to pay for all these new houses for the immigrants?
