When in doubt…blame Brexit

  Funny thing…guess some people just attract attention.  Gina Miller was quite vocal about the abuse and threats she said she had received due to the court case concerning Article 50.  She told us she has had death threats and we saw her dramatically flanked by over-sized bodyguards as she made her way to court.  What’s odd is that her QC, Lord Pannick, an extremely high profile barrister in this … Continue reading

Not So Enhanced Interrogation Methods

  Torture may or may not work but one crucial part of any interrogation is to actually ask the questions to which you want an answer.  If you don’t ask the question it doesn’t matter whether you waterboard them or treat them with kidgloves, kindness and respect…you won’t get an answer. This morning we had Nick Robinson, one of the BBC’s most senior and experienced journalists, on one of the … Continue reading

Democracy is much over-rated…online petitions on the other hand….

  John Humphrys was telling the world that there was huge concern in many quarters about Trump’s policies, Laura Kuenssberg reckoned, rather grandly, that she was speaking on behalf of the British people as she slandered Trump,  and of course this assumption is a common thread throughout BBC coverage…occasionally qualified with a grudging  ‘well there may be some who support Trump of course’. Well…guess again suckers….In the US Trump has … Continue reading

Just love Hamas, Hezbollah, Mao…whoever next? Trump? OMG Safe place, safe place

  I have some advice for the BBC…wait, wait until we can ascertain the good that Trump does…because his legacy maybe that on balance, he does more good than harm.   Trump has set the running dogs of the extremist liberal elite running.  There’s wild panic and headless chickens on the continent of Europe as their comfortable existences are threatened much as the Communist Dacha loving elites saw their easy, … Continue reading

Ein Europa…Europaische Wirtschaftgesellschaft

The BBC is happy to propagate a massive and alarmist  falsehood using its new series, SS-GB, as a vehicle to push a message that Brexit is leading back to the 1930s. Less keen I imagine to countenance historical fact…that Hitler was, of course, a fan of a united Europe as a united free market… Let us begin with a conference in Berlin in 1942, attended by economists and politicians, including … Continue reading

Mid-Week Open Thread

So Prince Charles thinks we are ‘forgetting to learn the lesson of the Holocaust’ in light of Trump’s immigration policy…this from a man who maintains close ties to Muslim fundamentalists, a major part of whose ideology is anti-Semitic and who fund that ideology across the world, including in the UK. The same Charles who told us that Muslim  migrants to Europe were like Mary and Joseph and that Muhammed was … Continue reading

Muslim Gaydar

  Thoughtful in the comments links us to this Daily Mail story…not sure why, as it is obviously very uncontroversial, not a sniff of a petition expressing shock and outrage… Gulf states to introduce medical testing on travellers to ‘detect’ gay people and stop them from entering the country A medical test being developed by Kuwait will be used to ‘detect’ homosexuals and prevent them from entering the country – … Continue reading

Greed is good

  What to make of Globalisation?  One moment it is the arch-villain with rapacious, immoral capitalism laying waste to societies and Occupy the favoured anarchist warriors of choice at the BBC, then suddenly not so much, Bankers are in, Big Business is beloved and the unemployed mere whingers, shirkers perhaps, who just don’t get it.  ‘Populist’ scum. Of course Big Business and the Bankers all supported Remain so no surprise … Continue reading

Media Meddling

  The BBC reports… David Cameron ‘tried to get Mail editor sacked’ over Brexit stance The proprietor of the Daily Mail told its editor that David Cameron pressed for him to be sacked during the EU referendum, BBC Newsnight has learned. Lord Rothermere told Paul Dacre the prime minister urged him to rein in his pro-Brexit editor, then suggested he sack him, a source told the BBC. Perhaps Newsnight could … Continue reading

Anti-Semitism…The Facts…Just Not The Facts As You Know Them

    Imagine my surprise when I heard 5Live telling us in concerned tones that anti-Semitism was on the rise in universities.  I was surprised because it was not four weeks ago that I was posting about the BBC scrambling to put out a counter to claims that anti-Semitism was rife at universities.  I guess the BBC didn’t want our Christmas to be spoiled with all those claims reminding us … Continue reading
