The weekend beckons and so time for a brand new fresh and shiny OPEN thread! And guess what, this hasn’t cost £98m…..

  Jim Nocknees accusing Cameron of being out of touch: (08:13) ‘You know that there are  a lot of your MPs and activists and so on, party members, who tramp the streets in your interests and say listen, same sex marriage was not in the manifesto, we didn’t know what was coming along, he’s just charging on surrounded by a metropolitan clique who don’t know what we think.’   Good job … Continue reading →

  In January the BBC were boasting how much money they estimated they generated for the economy…but one stand out phrase is this from the Telegraph: ‘It concludes that value-for-money has improved overall at the BBC, even though total spending has risen by more than £100 million in the last year.’   I think you’re probably ahead of me already.   Just where did that £100 million go?  Down which … Continue reading →

  ‘The far right is here. In our midst. And we see it not. Or worse still, we care not.’     Colonel Mike Dewar told us today on Nicky Campbell’s show that we tiptoe around the causes of radicalisation..we need a counter narrative, an alternative approach…he said the murder of Lee Rigby was a ‘stark warning’ that we needed to start countering the rhetoric and propaganda that radicalises these … Continue reading →

   Mr Thompson said: ‘Without question, “I complain in the strongest possible terms”, is different from, “I complain in the strongest possible terms and I am loading my AK47 as I write”. This definitely raises the stakes.’   Teddy Bear in the comments points out this grovelling response from the BBC after a few complaints….just like the one they issued for broadcasting ‘Jerry Springer The Opera’ after 10’s of thousands of … Continue reading →

  A World Transformed…how…by the power of UKIP?….or through the love of Jesus?   Is religion political?  Ask Justin Welby: The church continues to have the power to transform society, the Archbishop of Canterbury said today in his inauguration ceremony at Canterbury Cathedral. ‘For more than a thousand years this country has to one degree or another sought to recognise that Jesus is the Son of God; by the ordering of … Continue reading →

      I think this little tale exposes the BBC mindset pretty well…get the EDL whatever the cost. In the Telegraph Jake Wallis Simons, also a BBC correspondent, denounces the commemorative Facebook page, RIP Woolwich Soldier, for the murdered soldier, Lee Rigby, as a covert piece of EDL propaganda…. Over a million people may have accidentally ‘liked’ a covert EDL Facebook page     Clearly he has been getting a bit of … Continue reading →

    Via Jihadwatch: We have been given one transcript by the British Media of what one of the killers of the British soldier said: ‘We swear by Almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reasons we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day. This British soldier is an eye for an eye a tooth for tooth. We apologise that women had to see this … Continue reading →

  A fresh open thread as old one is going to become unwieldy soon.  

 A  shocking and savage attack on a young man who is thought to have been a soldier in London. As we look at this subject it should be remembered that a family has just had a knock on the door from an Army officer who is bringing them some traumatic and tragic news…not just that their son is dead but that he died in such a way. The assumption is … Continue reading →
