Happy Independence Day. [Still some results to come in]

A day of infamy says Keith Vaz, a catastrophe for Britain…we must respect the wishes of the people but……

Do politicians really understand the feeling in the country?  The BBC asks.  LOL. Perhaps the politicians have been telling the people what to think about Europe not listening to the people? The BBC asks.  LOL.  Not just the politicians eh?

We’re out of touch with ordinary, ‘ghastly’ Britons, says ex-BBC chief: Leaked email says it ‘ignores and despises’ millions because they do not embrace liberal views

Have to say was surprised at the initial ‘exit polls’ that said it was a done job for Remain as everyone I knew wanted to leave.

Champagne on ice at the BBC once again.

Trump for President anyone?

Bored with the referendum?  Here’s some light relief and different worlds…..

A B-BBC reader writes to me and observes;

“Breakfast at BBC spinning again. Reporting last nights debate on brexit the disgraceful tirades and endless interjections by Remain were reported as “Leave lacked passion” whilst the aggressive ibehavior of Remain was called “passion” Even today Remain is given the last word Boris 7.10 Cameron 7.40″

I agree. In fact what really irritated me was the shameful way Dan Hanaan was asked if he agreed with Nicola Sturgeon that the death of Jo Cox may well influence the Vote tomorrow. He was very diplomatic in his response but he felt it was ‘inappropriate” and so it was. Except the BBC are hell bent to use the tragic death of this MP to advance the REMAIN narrative.

See this as a further wolf whistle.

Middle of the week and the BBC excelling itself on pushing the “Remain is ahead in the Polls” and “Vote Remain for Jo Cox”. The floor is yours!

This must make the no-borders, hate-the flag, hug-an-Islamist BBC choke on its own sanctimonious humbug…

We’ll have none of that at the BBC thankyou…we have several concerns about such rampant nationalism….we don’t want to upset those who hate the flag and England…ironically the same people we always tell you love Britain the most…more than the natives (if we can use that word)…….so…..

Is it wrong to dress as a crusader for an England match?

We think so here at the BBC.  The not-so-British Broadcasting Corporation.

Viva the EU!

I imagine there was quite a bit of disappointed cheering in the corridors of the BBC and Guardian as news came out that someone had tried but failed to kill Donald Trump.

Note the utterly different tone of the reporting from that which engulfed us after the death of Jo Cox…and we can be pretty sure that the tone would have been just as different had Trump been killed.

Where are the outraged cries that this is an attack on democracy, where are the cries of anguish about politicians being demonised and not recognised for all the wonderful work they do, where are the alarming claims that this is a sign of our slide from civilisation to barbarism…a violent crime that taints the ideal of an orderly society and which  when that crime is committed against the people who are peacefully selected to write the rules, then the affront is that much more profound?  As the Guardian might say.

The BBC hints that it is all Trump’s own fault…

The US presidential election campaign of 2016 has been fringed with violence. Almost everywhere Donald Trump goes he attracts protests.

The tycoon often mocks the demonstrators and there have been clashes with his supporters, both inside and outside of his packed, emotionally charged rallies.

Where are those introspective angry blasts against those who whip up hate and division with their rhetoric against politicians?  Oh that would be the BBC and the Guardian, and indeed our own PM, who have all relentlessly hounded Trump and demonised him, misreported him and deliberately twisted everything he says…creating the hate that incites people to try and kill him.  Let’s close the BBC and Guardian down in the interests of democracy.

And note the difference between how the BBC reported Jo Cox’s killer, Thomas Mair, and how they define Sandford, the Brit who tried to kill Trump.

Mair had an established mental health issue and the night before the murder he tried to get help and was told to come back the next day.  The BBC makes no mention of this…not a word on its radio reports.  What did they make sure we did know?  That he was alleged to have shouted ‘Britain first’ or some such.  This was added to every bulletin.

Not a mention in this web report on the 18th and even today when Mair appears at the Old Bailey the BBC fails to mention his mental health.

Contrast that with Sandford…immediately the BBC are reporting that Sandford was mentally ill and that he had tried suicide….so says his defence lawyer…whereas Mair’s issues were proven fact.

After Orlando the BBC reported continuously that the killer’s wife said he was mentally unstable.

Spot the difference?  A Muslim terrorist and another ‘terrorist’ aiming to kill the BBC’s bogeyman….the BBC always has the excuses ready for that sort.  Why does the BBC not mention Mair’s mental health condition?  Is it because they are determined to exploit the death of Jo Cox to promote the Remain campaign and smear by association the  Brexit campaign with a Far Right killer?….Mentioning Mair’s illness might undermine that narrative.

The BBC once again taking sides against the Leave camp.

You can trust the BBC, just ask Cliff Richard.

With just a few days to until Polling Day, the BBC is doing its utmost to ensure that any awkward stories that could sway voters to VOTING LEAVE are muted. So it was in Calais last night. I started to get messages from people in that area who could see illegal migrants attacking cars, firing stones and presenting danger to life. And HOW, you might ask, did the BBC choose to cover this in the teeth of the riot last night? Well, it was a “power cut” 

Today it is now clear exactly what was going on – a full-scale riot by the same immigrants that the Remain camp are insisting are so vulnerable and in need of our country for “sanctuary” What a scam.

I knew there must be a use for Katty Kay....she has gone off-message and laid out the reasons for Brexit.….naturally she can’t quite throw off her BBC training and imprinting and concludes it’s all about the dreaded populism and simple messages appealing to emotion not brain….yep…all the Leave voters are simpletons with no mind of their own…….

Angry electorate

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson, the leader of the Leave campaign, have tapped into a similar public mood of disgruntlement. On both sides of the Atlantic, a lot of people feel they’ve been handed a bad deal. In the UK, it’s European bureaucrats in Brussels who are to blame.

Globalisation

The forces of globalisation are causing havoc for European workers as they are for American workers. If you are a white working class man (in particular) the combined effects of immigration, free trade and technology have made your job and your wages less secure. Policy makers in the UK and the US have singularly failed to address these issues in any meaningful way. If the Brexit camp wins next week it could suggest the global anti-globalisation mood (if such a thing is possible) is stronger than we realised.

Immigration

Immigration deserves its own category because it is so critical in both campaigns. Economists argue about the relative impact of immigrants versus robots on wage stagnation – voters don’t care much.

Like its European partner, the British government is caught in the nightmare story that is the European migrant/refugee crisis, with no effective response.

Lost pride

The complicated feeling of having had a bad deal has created an insidious spin off, a sense of broken pride, both national and personal. Working men, in particular, face a world they did not expect, jobs are hard to find and pay badly meaning they often can’t provide single-handedly for their families, as their fathers and grandfathers did. That alone causes a loss of pride.

For Brits the loss of national pride comes from a feeling that British sovereignty has been given away to Brussels and if we leave the EU, we will be stronger, better, more respected.

Populism

And, finally, populism loves simplicity, especially, it seems, when it’s dressed up with an impressively wacky hair do. Boris Johnson and Donald Trump appeal to the heart not the head, they offer simple solutions in a time of complex problems.

A victory for Brexit next week by no means guarantees a Trump victory in the autumn. However, if the forces of disgruntlement, nationalism, populism and anti-globalisation are strong enough to force a radical move in the UK, they may be strong enough to force a radical election in America too.

The plan was simple. Just four days before the EU Referendum, the BBC would provide a special BBC Question Time forum for David Cameron to proclaim that a surging Remain campaign will win. Boy did it go wrong! Did you see it – a car crash! I must be fair and say that for once David Dimbleby was fair – but the audience did not do as they were told and they savaged a hesitant and then evasive Cameron, who ended up comparing himself to Churchill!!! Today, the BBC has buried the Cameron performance, just as it has gone quiet on  Jeremy Corbyn telling us there must be NO LIMIT on immigration on the Marr Show yesterday.
