‘We take back sovereignty and give it to Parliament so that Parliament can then give it straight back to the EU’

There’s plenty of double-talk, bluster and bombast about Brexit.  You might expect that from the politicians and hangers-on with their vested interests all trying to muddy the waters but what we don’t expect, or rather shouldn’t but do because we know the BBC, is that the BBC completely fails to cut through all the nonsense.  Rather than explain the issues clearly and impartially it in fact joins in the games…after the referendum the BBC’s favourite tactic was to try and put a Leave politicians on the spot by asking ‘What will you spend the £350 million on?’…The BBC’s thinking was that they couldn’t then deny there was a £350 million spending spree promised and alternately they couldn’t say there was £350 million available as the BBC knows that wasn’t the real figure Leave campaigned on.   This was clearly an editorial decision to use this ploy as it was across the board with all presenters using it pretty relentlessly.  There was a no such attempt to target and mock Remain’s vastly exaggerated claims such as a massive recession needing an emergency budget, mass unemployment, families impoverished, investors fleeing, planes grounded and not forgetting World War III.

The BBC is still allowing Remainers to get away with talking total rubbish without challenge.

We all know by now that Remain claims that leaving the single market and the custom’s union were not discussed during the referendum and thus ‘nobody voted for that’ is nonsense…there is a vast amount of evidence that shows that just isn’t true…but still the Remainers get away with spouting that old tripe time after time.

There’s a couple more classics they pull out of the hat trying to fool and beguile us.

One of course is the Irish border…it seems that Ireland can dictate whether we have Brexit or not as they tell us we just must have a completely open border.  No ‘no border’ and Brexit is off.  Hmmm..the British government says it has no intention of imposing a border…thus it is the EU that is threatening to impose it….not only that but they, and the Remainers, are threatening us with the prospect of the IRA restarting its terrorist activity if we don’t comply.  So it is the EU that will have to impose a border, we should call ther bluff, and it is the IRA and its fellow travellers , all those who casually menace us with sinister ‘warnings’, who will be responsible for any violence…no one else.  The EU and Remainers are working hand in hand with the IRA.  Fact.

Then there is the most laughable claim by Remainers, that the referendum was about taking back sovereignty for the British Parliament…thus, they tell us, it must be Parliament that must have the final decision on Brexit.  Well, actually it was about taking back sovereignty for Britain and its people and the People have spoken and they said ‘We want to leave the EU, the single market and the customs union as a part of a package to regain sovereignty and control over immigration.’

What they did not say was ‘We take back sovereignty and give it to Parliament so that Parliament can then give it straight back to the EU’ which is precisely what Remainers intend to do in the biggest act of treachery this nation will have seen for many a century.

That so-called ‘argument’ is so facile and ridiculously easy to take down and yet the BBC never challenges the Remainers when they spin that particular line…Ken Clark, at his patrician, louche and contemptuous of the people best, was allowed almost total freedom to peddle these messages today with the usual blustering, bluff arrogance we have come to expect from him.

The BBC still helping to promote the idea that Brexit can be stopped.

Blacker Dread, otherwise known as Steve Martin, is the subject of a BBC film, Being Blacker [March 12  BBC2]…a bit of a love story really, between the film-maker, Molly Dineen, and Dread.  Dineen didn’t want to ask him any awkward questions that might put responsibility for his troubles onto him as it might have come between them and they would have lost that ‘fundamental sense of friendship’.  So not a critical and impartial film then. Is there anything that might result in any criticism…such as being a leading figure in the Brixton Riots or being jailed for a massive money laundering scheme?  No…his problems are all down to racism…the film apparently a ‘unique insight into what it is to be black in Britain today.’

Once again the BBC concentrates on the bad, the grievances, the racism and the alleged failure of Black people to be successful in Britain due to that.

When will the BBC tell the truth and bring a positive view of Black communities and people to the screen?  The BBC is so intent on creating a case against Whites as the cause of all Black peoples’ problems that it fails to do justice to that community.  Are there no successful Black people in Britain?  No business-people, no academics, no musicians, no actors, no sports-people, no scientists or engineers or philosophers or inspirational teachers?  No, in the BBC world Blacks are all gangsters, crooks or failures, victims of white racism and oppression.  That’s the message the BBC sends out…it’s a deliberate message shaped to generate white guilt and political action and some positive discrimination…but all it does is send a message that Blacks have no place in Britain, they can’t succeed with the odds, allegedly, stacked so high against them.  Once again the BBC spreads dangerous, divisive and wilfully misleading messages that does enormous harm to Black people and utlimately to the whole of society.

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions…so if you spot any more of those BBC good intentions raise the alarm and list them here……

There I was minding my own business, came out of the mosque one Friday and jumped on a 54 bus to Pristina, all was kushty.  Fell asleep didn’t I…only missed my bleeding stop, next thing I knew I was in Syria.  Blimey, what a turn up.  My mum would have been pissed if she’d known.  Still, eh, when in Rome, so I joined an Islamic terrorist organisation….well, I had a beard already so why not!  Had second thoughts as me old mum would have a fit if she knew I was fighting with terrorists in the name of Allah…so I offski’d to a lovely little group that swore blind they were fighting for Allah but definitely weren’t terrorists.  They trained me to shoot and kill but I swear to Allah I never shot no-one…honest.  Then I thought maybe this ain’t for me, all this murderous killing that is going on all around me but which, honest, had nothing to do with me at all…so I did a runner to another Islamist extremist group that promised that they were just there to make sure the infidels and blasphemers were murdered humanely in Allah’s name.  I thought that’s for me but then my old mum came and got me and dragged me off home.  I wasn’t a terrorist she told the court, I was just a naughty boy…still, they gave me 3 years for terrorist offences.  My mum says always look on the bright side of life…easy for her to say, she’s not going to have to share a small cell with some sex-starved hairy-arsed gorilla for 3 years.  Then the BBC came over and give me a nice write-up…boy are they stupid. I join three terrorist groups and they call me the ‘accidental Jihadist’…..lol.

Corbyn was a man who supported the jack-boot on the necks of the dissidents in places like Czechoslovakia, he did not support the dissidents who fought for freedom.  ‘For the many not the few‘….LOL.  Never mind, no-one need know as Aunty comes to cover up for him as it broadcasts a swathe of programmes that slip in helpful little pro-Corbyn messages.

The BBC were having a pop at Billy Graham this morning...close to Richard ‘I am not a crook’ Nixon [of course he was a crook] apparently, and part of the ‘communist witch-hunt’, and ‘could you say he gave rise to Donald Trump?’.   Any chance that the BBC has tried to slip in some subtle perception altering allusions which have nothing to do with Graham but are more intended to change your perceptions of Corbyn…a victim of a ‘commie witch-hunt’ by the Right-wing Press?  And why not attack Trump as well while you’re at it…‘the rise of Donald Trump’ obviously being an unwelcome thing for the world.

Yesterday I choked on my cornflakes as John Simpson revealed that he almost fell for a Reds in your bed honey trap...could this embarrassing little tale have anything to do with the BBC trying to muddy the waters around Jeremy ‘I am not a commie spy’ Corbyn [at the very least a very committed fellow traveller who did their work unbidden]?  If a seasoned and well travelled veteran reporter could fall for the dastardly tricks of the Czech intelligence recruiters then maybe we should give Jezza a break and just dismiss his close ties to all things communist/terrorist as naive foolishness shaped by his desire to make the world a better place.  Why does this little tale surface now and why is it a tale about Czech intelligence of all the vast array of Soviet spooks?  If anything it shows that the Czechs were actively recruiting and that Corbyn would have been a target…not that he would need to be recruited, he was doing their work as a fellow traveller without being asked.

We then had FOOC in which the BBC travelled to the Czech Republic to fully investigate the claims about Corbyn….of course he was completely exonerated…nothing to see there….not helped because Corbyn, for some reason, refuses to give permission for people to read the East German intelligence files on him.

The News Quiz was on full-on ‘Save Jezza’ mode with total support and cheerleading for the fuzzy-faced one.  Hmmm. A man who has prided himself on being a radical opponent of the Establishment is now being promoted as a pillar of the Establishment……no jokes?  Not a single joke about his tour of Eastern Europe with Di-abolical on pillion, not a joke about his support for the disastrous socialist paradises of Venezuela and Cuba or his complete u-turn on terrorism at the election where the police and security services turned out to be his new-found heroes.  Nothing about his support for terrorism, his desire to trash Trident, abolish the army, neuter NATO and silence the security services.  Nothing about his proud boast that he voted against very bit of anti-terrorism legislation.  Nothing about his leadership of the Stop the War group that was only concerned with undermining Western defences.  Nothing about his Marxist desire to smash the economy and democratic society.  I am sure there must be a joke or two in there somewhere about his coincidental ‘regulatory alignment’ with the Commies and their plots….maybe he just wanted a ‘soft Marxism’.

The BBC noted cynically that Trump has surrounded himself with people who are being indicted by Mueller’s investigation [which the BBC never fails to say was about ‘Russian interference’ in the election…depsite none of the indictments being about that…which makes you think what the invetsigation is being used for]…the BBC is less concerned about those who surround Corbyn who are well known hard-left extremists as pointed out here….

Advisers to Jeremy Corbyn were among communists investigated by MI5 for wanting to “destroy” democracy in the UK, the former head of the Security Service has claimed.

Dame Stella Rimington said that members of communist and Trotskyist organisations in the 1980s who attracted attention from MI5 are now “grown up and advising our would-be prime minister on how to prepare himself for power”

And that’s even as Guido reveals uncomfortable links between Labour and the Soviets.

How about the ex-head of MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, saying:

And now he says…

Jeremy Corbyn has “questions to answer” over his contact with a Communist spy and cannot simply “laugh off” the disclosures, a former head of MI6 has said.

Sir Richard Dearlove said it was “absurd” for the Labour leader to suggest he thought a Czechoslovakian agent was just a diplomat when he agreed to meet him and he should have “taken care to avoid” him.

So two heads of intelligence services think Corbyn and his cabal are a threat to democracy and yet the BBC tries its best to cover-up, downplay and laugh off the accusations, the complete opposite of how they have treated the lurid allegations about Trump despite those coming from serving Russian intelligence officers and being shown to be part of a campaign to destabilise American politics…and doing a fine job I might say….thanks in large part to the likes of the BBC which have been willing participants in the anti-Trump witch-hunt.

Here’s the BBC rigorously and aggressively defending Agent Corbychov…Coburn giving Kavanagh a hard time…note the BBC dismissal of this as ‘some newpapers’…..

Corbyn Czechoslovakia spy claims: Kavanagh and Nunns

And Andrew Neil, as with Tommy Robinson, taking an aggressive ‘BBC’ line on this….

As Stephen Glover pointed out the BBC is a disgrace and is involved in the cover-up of extremely serious accusations against Corbyn…but then they have covered for him on his support for terrorism and his extremist, destructive economic policies…so why change?  Lord Hall Hall was never better named.

The BBC’s dereliction of duty: The allegations against Corbyn could hardly be more serious, STEPHEN GLOVER asks why the BBC is ignoring them?

What could be more serious than the allegation that the possible future Prime Minister of Great Britain worked for Soviet-backed Czechoslovakia during the 1980s at the height of the Cold War?

 

The BBC loves the Blacktivists, the articulate, disgruntled and deluded Black race agitators like Afua Hirsch whose racial theories are not so far apart from Hitler’s own on racial purity.  The BBC exploits them and uses them like cannon fodder for its own amusement giving them massive airtime and publicity for their grievances and gripes.  But it is a dangerous game.  These are very politicised, motivated, angry, bitter, extremist people whom the BBC are telling us represent Black people as a whole and that their twisted, toxic narratives are rational and credible and given the BBC stamp of approval.  The BBC runs with their narrative that white people are all racist, that the ‘system’ is racist and even if someone isn’t obviously racist they are subconsciously and an organisation, as with the Met. Police, despite no police officer or policy being shown to be racist, can be declared ‘institutionally racist’….Macpherson was determined to find blame, blame of a particular sort…racism.  Macpherson was a show trial worthy of Stalin or the Spanish Inquisition.  The damage that well meaning liberals do is enormous as they appease extremism and throw good people to the wolves turning society upside down by giving the extremist race-baiters a stick to beat every institution and white person with.  Divisive and creating huge anger and conflict?  The BBC peddles the same toxic narrative.

Here’s the perfect example from this week as it gives a platform to two black people whose views and perceptions are ludicrously out of touch with reality and in all probability the experiences and beliefs of most of the black population.

Jay Brave is a spoken word artist and entrepreneur who doesn’t identify as “black”, arguing that an understanding of ethnic background is far more important than race. But actress, director and fitness instructor Kelechi Okafor has an almost opposite approach to identity and is proud to be, and to identify as, “black”.

Here they meet and discuss why they think the way they do, what their experiences have been, where their views meet, and how they see themselves as agents for change.

Brave claims not to  identitfy as ‘black’ and yet every word suggests he does.  Ironically recent African migrants tell him he is not ‘African’ and to stop trying to identify as such, and others complain that some ‘Blacks’ maybe not quite black enough….such as Meghan Markle…. Whites only like people like her because she isn’t Black Black, if she had not been mixed race she wouldn’t have been accepted so readily…which of course is hard to prove or disprove….or is it?  Just think of how many famous Black people have been celebrated and ‘loved’ across Britain…there’s loads of them from sports stars to actors and musicians.  Odd how if Whites like a Black person it is because of their talents but if they dislike a Black person it is due to the colour of their skin.  Maybe they just dislike them because they don’t like them.   But no, it must be racism.

The Blacktivists are the extremists who push a narrative of grievance, victimhood and oppression at the hands of white people…everything difficult in life is due to racism and thus Blacks must see Whites as the enemy, the cause of all their sorrows.  This is the dangerous line that is designed to generate discontent and anger which is exploited by the Blacktivists for their own ends…keeping them in work and on the telly usually.  If there was nothing to complain about they’d be out of a job [a self-appointed job…ala Mo Ansar] thus they invent problems and grievances and the BBC gives them a platform, a loud voice and credibility to them and their cause.  That way leads segregation, conflict and the end of a civilisation as it breaks up into warring little factions….Somalia is the apocalyptic end result.  Thanks BBC.

Arthur Wagner, an AFD member who converted to Islam, is the subject of a Gabriel Gatehouse investigative report.  Gatehouse is very excited, a little too over-excited for a supposedly seasoned reporter.  It all seems a bit of a game to him rather than a serious report, almost as if he had already got a conclusion in mind and he was just going through the motions to add a bit of colour and body to his script.  Of course Gatehouse has a bit of previous when reporting on those he likes to deem  ‘Far-Right’ as we’ve noted before about a previous Newsnight film by him…

Is the “alt right” on the rise in Europe? And if so, is it a fringe movement – or something bigger than that? BBC Newsnight’s Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Austria and France.

Gatehouse didn’t actually listen to what was being told to him.  He had a narrative and he stuck to it….what we got was a constant drumbeat warning us of the rise of a new Nazi regime….Gatehouse freely used words like ethnic cleansing, Nazis and references to concentration camps…just the usual BBC dangerously dismissive and contemptuous treatment telling us these groups had ideas ‘beyond the boundaries of the acceptable’…..er like controlling immigration and stopping Islamisation?  Very controversial.

A group in France says that if immigrants don’t want to integrate they will offer them money and the chance to go to a country where they will feel more at home…not force them but offer them.  Gatehouse says this is ‘ethnic cleansing’.  Never mind the UK government already does it.

Are you starting to get the idea that Gatehouse doesn’t have a clue what he is saying and what the reality is and has his own agenda to peddle?

You actually struggle to see what the spectre of the 30’s is here…just what are the policies and ideas that Gatehouse says are ‘Far-Right’ or ‘ethnic cleansing’ or have ‘the whiff of the concentration camp’ about them or have ‘scary connotations’?  They all seem fairly mainstream and indeed already put into practise by many governments.  Gatehouse comes with preconceived ideas about these people and completely ignores what they actually say preferring to overlay everything with his own narrative, colouring what they say in the darkest tones when such an interpretation, at least from what they said on film, is far from the mark.

Nothing has changed in Gatehouse’s approach…it’s based on ignorance and a twisting of the narrative to suit his agenda.  For example when Wagner refuses to show him what is probably an SS dagger with a Swastika on it Gatehouse has no idea why he won’t show it and makes an amused face to camera….odd the BBC’s ‘expert’ on the Far-Right wouldn’t know such ‘memorabilia’ is illegal in Germany.  Gatehouse then does a bit of amateur psychology and assesses Wagner as someone who has a ‘love of authority and a fear of the erosion of conservative values.’  Pretty much a Nazi then in BBC parlance.

But the real problem with the film was that it didn’t give us the real reason Wagner converted to Islam, though ironically it does tells us that Wagner thinks there is an affinity between the Far-Right and Islam…yes, don’t say we haven’t told you.  Islam and Fascism have so much in common…but Fascism being the more enlightened and modern as far as women go.  The BBC hates the Far-Right and yet promotes Islam.  Bizarre.

In the Telegraph it is reported that:

A politician from the nationalist Alternative for Germany party (AfD) who shocked colleagues by converting to Islam says he did so because he was unhappy with the church’s acceptance of gay marriage.

Arthur Wagner made headlines around the world last week after it emerged that he had become a Muslim.

The 48-year-old, who has changed his name to Ahmad, initially refused to comment when his conversion became public last week.

But he came forward in an interview to explain his decision in an interview with Bild newspaper.

We know, because the BBC tells us, that Britain has no culture and thus no indigenous multiculture, thus the BBC likes to import the exotic inhabitants of far-off lands and bring them here as exhibits in some kind of open cultural zoo to be gawked at in amusement and delight by the natives who are all white, male and very boring. Hence we get daft comments from the simple Chiles who yesterday filled his studio with Russians, Ukrainians and Armenians…he expressed his delight saying ‘This is great, this is Europe!’.  Naturally he was really meaning ‘this is the EU…and it’s fantastic migrant open door policy’ [never mind none of those countries are in ‘Europe’] betraying the real mindset behind the mic. as if we didn’t already know from his numerous attacks on the ‘Far Right UKIP’ and Nazi Farage.  Would he express the same pleasure in the multi-culturalism if he had a Scotsman, a Welshman, an Irishman and an Englishman in the studio, or someone from Somerset, Norfolk and Yorkshire, or from London, Liverpool and Manchester?  All very different places, all with unique history and culture…and yet the BBC writes them all off and tells us they aren’t of any interest….Britain is a cultural desert that needs spicing up with those exotic imports.   Interested to hear Dimbleby on Any Questions describe the exotic men who committed the sex attacks in Newcastle as all being ‘South Asian’ and that there might be something wrong with their culture….apart from the fact that he just ran off a list of their actual origins, a wide variety of countries, which he seemed to forget, the one actual unifying cultural identifier was that they were mostly, if not all, Muslim…not a mention.  A problem with that culture?  No of course not.  It’s those ‘South Asians’.

Blind to the joys of British culture, blinded by the ‘joys’ of foreign cultures.

Spot any BBC bias?  List it here…..

From the Telegraph:

The European Central Bank has expressed alarm over the surging euro, accusing the Trump administration of driving down the dollar to gain trade advantage in breach of global accords.

Minutes from the ECB’s policy meeting in January flagged concerns that the overly-strong exchange rate had become unhealthy and “required monitoring”, with doves on the Governing Council clearly worried that the eurozone is still caught in a low inflation trap with no safety buffer against fresh deflation shocks….They are desperate to see inflation rising….’

The BBC’s narrative is that the ‘plunging Pound’ #duetobrexit and so-called high inflation is bad for our economy….wonder how they will spin the EU wanting lower exchnage rates and higher inflation.  Note the BBC also always tells us we are suffering terribly from a wage squeeze…with that ‘high’ inflation and low wage rises…and yet always fails to mention the hugely raised tax allowance, the minimum wage/living wage increase, screamingly low interest rates for a decade, and more free child-care.   Hardly getting the full picture from the BBC…almost as if they had an agenda to push about the economy.

Agent Cob-Nut hasn’t come in from the cold yet, perhaps he’s stuck, maybe he can batter his way out with a blackpudding [no jokes about Di-abolical], or maybe he can just use it to batter his critics in the Press into silence…the BBC need have no concerns of course as he threatens ‘change is coming’….the BBC is happy to see change even if it means a Marxist, terrorist supporting wrecker in No10…or No13 according to Di-abolical.

Spot any more BBC ‘Help for Zeroes’ list it all here……

First we get the denial of service then we get the slow rebuttal service then we get somewhere half-near the truth…almost like the BBC is trying to cover something up.

We had the radio silence on Corbyn and Cox, then the grudging admittal that there might be a story and then today  we get a [and fair do’s to the BBC if belated ala Rochdale etc] proper examination of the evidence so far against Corbyn on 5 Live with Sam Coates from the Times [not slagging off Brexit as the BBC usually employs him to do] and then Livingstone given a decent quizzing.  Curious though that the BBC considers the story is now worth reporting when nothing has really changed since it broke a week ago…if now why not then?  Similarly the Cox story…we heard today that ‘very serious allegations’ had been made about him and again we got a pretty indepth look which didn’t pull any punches as it exmained Cox’s behaviour when he worked for Save the Children.  How is it only now, a week late, that the BBC deigns to do its job and look at ‘very serious allegations’?

And in regard to Cox…Neil Henderson @hendopolis (BBC Newsdesk and Planning editor) told us that he didn’t publish the Mail frontpage because he was threatened with legal action….I’m sure I read somewhere that he originally said that he wouldn’t publish it because he just didn’t like it…but I can’t find the reference or link….if anyone knows please put it in the comments.  But maybe I just dreamt that?

Ah….I did dream it…he was censoring the Sun story on Tom Daley…still, guessing legal action or not he may well have censored the Cox frontpage judging by  this:

I'm uncomfortable with what the Sun has done this evening so I won't be tweeting it. I leave it with you to judge.
