Housing crisis?  What housing crisis? asks Nihal.

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?

A new week of appalling BBC bias. They have no shame so don’t hold back and DETAIL the bias here!

Whatever the BBC does Boris seems to survive…so far.

A long BBC campaign to get rid of Boris continues apace…..Boris being the popular face of a real Brexit and of course a possible leader of the Tory Party…so two good reasons for the BBC to try and make him too toxic to touch.

R4 last night asserted that May must get rid of her biggest irritant, Boris.  He must go as he has been undermining her authority by laying out his vision of what Brexit should be….which is pretty much what May told us she was going to deliver…Brexit means Brexit.  Any Questions on Saturday was demanding to know if Boris is ‘fit for purpose’ and, that other BBC narrative, how long can May last and who can replace her, is she ‘terminally damaged’?….a constant theme from the BBC clearly trying to create the feeling that May is weak and has not long to go….the BBC thinking as I heard last night is she can’t possibly stay on after Christmas.   This is the BBC trying to make the news not reporting it, the BBC trying to sow doubt and concern and the thought, amongst the more stupid and weak minded Tory MPs, that they need to unseat her and that there is broadspread background chatter to do so when that just isn’t so…it’s all BBC black propaganda.

Here’s the latest BBC offering…

Theresa May ‘resilient’ amid Conservative Party infighting

After some waffle we get to the real point…

Asked what she would do about Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson – who has been seen by some as disloyal after writing two articles setting out his own vision for Brexit – she said she would not “hide from a challenge”, and would “make sure I always have the best people in my cabinet, to make the most of the wealth of talent available in the party”.

But she added: “I have a terrific cabinet.”

And that is basically it….no word about any other cabinet minister who might be sacked for ‘disloyalty’……which is odd as both the Telegraph and the Mail have the same story…that MPs are demanding Phillip Hammond’s head…..

Boris Johnson will ‘just say no’ if Theresa May tries to sack him amid calls for ‘miserable’ Philip Hammond to face axe

May under pressure to sack Spreadsheet Phil: Leave MPs fear the chancellor is trying to stall Brexit negotiations

And on Guido [Via Peston on ITV]…

Nadine: May Should Sack Hammond

May wanted to fire Hammond after the election but he was saved by her weakness following the result. There’s a case that Hammond is far more at odds with government policy than Boris or any other Cabinet Brexiter.

Even in the Guardian:

Conservative Brexiters turn fire on Philip Hammond’s Treasury

How long can the BBC keep protecting pro-EU Remainer ‘disloyal’ Hammond whilst solely targeting Boris?

Switched on the radio to hear the BBC’s Chris Mason telling us that John Major’s ‘support’ for May shows how precarious her position is after the ‘disastrous’ conference speech.   Hmmm…no…it shows how strong her position is…she’s going nowhere so Major gives her a little shove…..Major is an arch Remainer and far from being loyal his intervention is a sly backstabbing attempt to undermine her further as he attacks just about every article of her government’s policies calling Universal Credit “messy, socially unfair and unforgiving”.  Hardly out and out support.  The BBC naturally fails to tell us that Major is that arch Remainer just as it fails to mention that the Times papers are pro-Remain as it reports the Times is saying May will demote Boris.  Really or is that wishful thinking to get rid of the biggest beast [or Lion] in the cabinet who supports a Brexit that means Brexit? [May clearly doesn’t as she prefers appeasing Hammond/Rudd, keeping a lid on things, protecting Party before Brexit].  The BBC says…

Asked about speculation she might replace Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson – who has been seen by some as disloyal – Mrs May said she would not “hide from a challenge”.

Why not ask about Hammond being replaced, do we ever hear the BBC raise that possibility?  Hammond is Pro-EU and anti-Brexit, the BBC likes him.  And why is Boris ‘disloyal’ when Hammond, who tried to hijack Brexit when May was abroad, or the likes of Shapps and his rag-tag mutineers, or the backstabbing Major, are not?

In light of the attempt to unseat May it may be more clear why Matthew Parris, ex-Tory wet MP, a wild-eyed, frothing at the mouth pro-EU raver against the deplorable racist half-wits who voted for Brexit [‘Do not trust these human types.’….of course he meant sub-human really], ‘revealed’ the truth about the Transition Period [as if we didn’t already know]…that it was just a delaying tactic until Brexit could be sidelined by events dear boy events…and of course by the machiavellian manoeuvres of the likes of Parris and Hammond.  Why did he trumpet this devious trickery of the Remain camp?  Could it be that he knew in advance of the attempt to unseat May and intended to whip up anti-May fury in the Brexit camp by telling them she was betraying their dream in the hope that any Brexit supporting MPs would join the mutiny?  More than likely.

At last! The subversion of Brexit has begun

Two years before departure, another two years’ transition, and staying in the EU might seem a good idea.

The Brexit crowd are right to smell a rat.

With apologies to fellow Remainers who may accuse me of letting the cat out of the bag, I must tell you that this business of a ‘transitional’ or ‘implementation’ period after Britain has formally left the EU — the plan that Theresa May endorsed in Florence last week — strikes me as carrying a secret threat to Leavers’ hopes: a threat Remainers should not disclose yet.

‘What (Brexiteers fret) if, four or five years on from the 2016 referendum but still a part of the EU, Britain should start to wonder if it’s really all that bad after all? So serious headbangers are desperate that momentum should not be lost. And remember: their supporters are much older than ours. They’re dying faster. Every year there are few hundred thousand fewer. And a Labour government could bring in votes for 16-year-olds. Logic may whisper that staying until we’ve agreed our leaving terms makes sense rationally; but some inner hunch, some nameless dread, whispers to them that it’s better to burn those bridges fast.

‘So guys, not a word about where this proposal for a transition period must logically lead. Not yet.’

The BBC’s still at it, attacking Trump for his ‘failure’ to help Puerto Rico.  No doubt the BBC sending a Muslim reporter there adds to the mix…Aleem Maqbool.

Not a single word in praise of the effort to help Puerto Rico from the BBC on FOOC…the entire piece was one long negative protrayal of events….apparently Trump has forgotten Puerto Rico, well not quite… only enough to treat them as second class citizens.  You’d have no idea that 10,000 personnel were sent from the mainland and that enormous amounts of aid have come in as well as a huge effort to get the infrastructure back on track…no idea that it was difficult to get aid in initially as the island was completely destroyed with no roads, bridges, airports or power…kind of makes it difficult to move around the island and to fly in immediate aid if there were no landing strips.

Maqbool told us that there was no planning for the hurricane by Trump and Co….er….the reality is a completely different picture….

Rossello and other officials praised the federal government for planning its response before the storm hit, a contrast with what Puerto Rico has long seen as the neglect of 3.4 million Americans in a territory without a vote in Congress or the electoral college.

Large amounts of federal aid began moving into Puerto Rico on Saturday, as the island tried to recover from a battering by hurricane Maria. Local officials praised the Trump administration’s response.

The aid effort quickened with the opening of the island’s main port in the capital, San Juan, allowing 11 ships to bring in 1.6 million gallons of water, 23,000 cots, dozens of generators and food. Dozens more shipments are expected in upcoming days.

The federal aid effort is racing to stem a growing crisis in towns left without water, fuel, electricity or phone service. Officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) said they would take satellite phones to all of Puerto Rico’s towns and cities, more than half of which were cut off.

The island’s infrastructure was in sorry shape long before Maria struck.

And here is the official FEMA explanation of its preparations….

Overview of Federal Efforts to Prepare for and Respond to Hurricane Maria

President Donald J. Trump issues federal emergency declarations for the Territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in advance of Hurricane Maria’s landfall.

Maqbool does what all of Trump’s devoted enemies do and twists his words as he attacked him for saying Katrina was a ‘real’ catastrophe….they then go on to claim he meant hurricane Maria was nothing to worry about.  But that’s a complete lie and misrepresentation of what he said and meant.  The word ‘real’ was not meant to mean genuine or authentically substantial, he used the word as any normal person would to emphasise how bad Katrina was…’real bad’, its colloquial, he did not mean to diminish the severity of Puerto Rico’s disaster and indeed went on in the next sentence to make that clear.  He then went on to further explain by praising Puerto Rico for saving lives….Katrina had killed hundreds if not thousands whilst only 16 [not exactly the genocide that the hard-left mayor of San Juan dramatically claimed Trump was inflicting upon Puerto Rico] or so at the time were killed in Puerto Rico…Trump put that down to good reactions by Puerto Rico.  Not that he got any praise in return from the likes of the BBC.  Here’s his words….

“Every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous — hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here, with really a storm that was just totally overpowering, nobody’s ever seen anything like this. What is your death count as of this moment? 17? 16 people certified, 16 people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud of all of your people and all of our people working together. Sixteen versus literally thousands of people. You can be very proud. Everybody around this table and everybody watching can really be very proud of what’s taken place in Puerto Rico.”

Why send a prejudiced reporter all the way around the world to bring us a report that he could have cut and pasted [maybe he did] from CNN or one of those other fake news outlets.

The BBC’s News Quiz joined in of course…they never let the facts get in the way of a good bit of bigotry.  Apparently Trump didn’t help because he is a ‘slow-witted racist’.

The News Quiz…lol…what a joke…a bunch of leftwing racist half-wits who just regurgitate their bar room student witticisms about May needing a p45.  V.funny.

Jeremy Hardy told us that Boris’ reference to the ‘roaring British lion’ was all nonsense….. isn’t it the ‘Right’ that has taken up using the image he tells us [he wraps up the whole spectrum in that…Right, Far Right, Nazis…of course if you’re to the right of Jeremy you’re probably still a Stalinist].  So that’ll be the Engand rugby team, the football team, the cricket team…

and oh yes the passport….along with the unicorn.

Of course Jeremy may not believe in the British Lion but he probably believes in the unicorn, a mystical beast of fantasy….just as he believes in Jeremy Corbyn.  Dickhead.s

The funniest thing is that the BBC and the likes of Hardy sneer at Britishness and tell us there is no such thing, that we are a nation of immigrants with no national identity or loyalty…and yet they quickly tell us Muslims are definitely ‘British’, in fact Muslims are more proud of being British than the British…which kind of  makes you ask does the BBC not then think of these proud Muslim ‘Brits’ as British?

Who knew Lefty Frank Skinner and the Jewish David Baddiel were in fact raging Nazis…..

Telegraph:

Man arrested after car mounts pavement outside London museum, hitting passers-by

Mirror:

‘Multiple’ people injured after car ‘ploughs into pedestrians outside London’s Natural History Museum’

Mail:

BREAKING NEWS: Taxi driver mounts pavement and ‘deliberately mows down pedestrians’ outside Natural History Museum before being pinned down and arrested in front of stunned tourists

BBC:

Natural History Museum crash: Car hits people in London

The event may well be an accident or a ‘crash’ as the BBC has decided to call it but to do so is to prejudge what happened and is not a neutral headline…just as the Mail’s isn’t.  The BBC’s headline gives the completely wrong impression that there is absoutely nothing to see here and that there is definitely no terrorist connection…and yet the BBC cannot possibly know that yet.  Note it doesn’t publish the photo of the man being held…clearly trying to damp down any speculation of what might be the cause…can’t have people thinking ‘Those Muslims at it again’ can we?  If the driver had been white you can imagine how it would be reported though…somewhat differently…‘The Eagle has landed…in SS-GB!!!!’

The weekend beckons and so does this NEW Open Thread! Detail the bias here and don’t be shy!

Tory fury at police over claims conference checks failed to flag caution handed to Simon Brodkin in 2013 – as prankster launches tour to exploit stunt during PM speech

Nothing to do with BBC bias but an interesting thought…did the so-called comedian get into the Tory conference because police vetting him deliberately ‘missed’ his previous caution for similar behaviour?  The police who had been at loggerheads with May when she was Home Secretary and who have been known to stitch up Tory ministers they don’t like?  Any possibility they hoped to see May embarassed?  No, of course not.

Tories who want to lose an election so that we are forced to stay in the EU.  Traitors to Party, Country, Democracy and The People?

Curious how Boris has been absolutely pilloried by the BBC over the last three weeks and his ‘disloyalty’ to May highlighted and denounced.

Odd how ‘Remain’ Tory MPs are not so treated as they actually seek to unseat May as PM never mind try to influence how Brexit is negotiated which was apparently Boris’ crime.

Grant Shapps and Ed Vaizey have been leading the charge on the BBC to remove May from office [the BBC has been helpfully spinning that May is a disaster and can’t last long as PM]…both of them are Remain…and you have to suspect most of the alleged plotters against May will be also.

So who is the most disloyal, who are the backstabbing little traitors, who are betraying May?  More important why?

The BBC tells us Boris was ‘disloyal’ for raising his voice in support of May’s ‘Brexit means Brexit’ slogan but Tory MP’s who want to unseat May are not?  These MP’s seek to force another election which they know that they will in all likelihood lose to Corbyn.  Why?  Because they put their loyalty to the EU before their Party, before their country, before democracy and before the people of this country.  They hope Corbyn and a change in government will create such confusion and distraction that there will be an excuse to stop Brexit.

Hardcore Remainer Amber Rudd slips the knife in suggesting May should ‘not resign’…..with the implication that she might have cause to do so…as the Telegraph notes…’However, in calling on Mrs May to stay as Prime Minister, Ms Rudd becomes the first Cabinet minister to acknowledge that there is a question surrounding Mrs May’s immediate future.’

‘Trust us to take Britain in the right direction’Amber Rudd urges the Prime Minister not to resign at crucial ‘turning point’ for Britain

A small group of incredibly disloyal EU insiders and collaborators are trying to hijack this country and betray those who voted for Brexit…and the BBC doesn’t have much to say at all…except a few quiet hurrahs!!! no doubt as Lord Hall Hall parties on.

Apparently there is no pay gap between women and men at Radio 2...

The boss of Radio 2’s pronouncement that “there’s no gender pay issue here at all” has been met with scorn by BBC women.

Lewis Carnie, whose promotion to head of the music station was announced last November, denied that it had a gender pay gap.

“In our case at Radio 2, there is no gender pay gap. No one’s comparing like with like,” he told the Evening Standard.
