Donald Trump's Tweets as an early 2000s Emo song
Donald Trump's Tweets as an early 2000s Emo song.
Sheer genius!
UK unemployment falls by 7,000 to 1.6m per BBC News who are looking for a line to attack these figures on
The BBC are devastated to have to report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38979582 that:
'UK unemployment fell by 7,000 to 1.6m in three months to December, while average earnings rose 2.6%, figures show. '
An attack line will have to be formulated, the BBC cannot allow good economic news to be reported when there's a Conservative government in power.
A while back when unemployment fell we were told by the BBC that it didn't matter because average earnings were falling. Now unemployment is failing and average earnings are rising, I wonder what the problem will be? Zero hours contracts is my bet...
Female MP abuse 'puts women off politics' says Diane Abbott per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38977784 informs us about one side of the incident last week:
'Women may be deterred from entering politics because of abuse suffered by female MPs, Diane Abbott says.
The shadow home secretary said she was speaking out about her own experiences after recently receiving a series of threats and insults.
Last week Brexit secretary David Davis was branded "sexist" for reportedly sending a text saying he would not hug Ms Abbott because he was "not blind".
His spokeswoman said he was "very sorry" for any offence caused.'
Oddly the pro Labour Party BBC don't find the space to report that prior to David Davis sending that text there was an incident in the House of Commons when David Davis congratulated Diane Abbott for supporting the Government bill on Article 50 only to be told to "fuck off" by the 'honourable lady'.
I suppose that the BBC don't want to sully the reputation of the pure of heart and mouth Diane Abbott...

"Nobel Laureate in Physics; "Global Warming is Pseudoscience""
A must watch video of an address by Nobel Physics Laureate Ivar Glaevar on Global Warming. The jokes aren't up to much and he does move from topic to topic too quickly but there's a lot of facts there that deserve to be heard.
Every BBC warmist should be made to watch this video...
Piers Morgan talking sense!
I am no fan of Piers Morgan, in fact I'm often quite rude about him. However I find it hard to disagree with most of what he says in this interview.
"Andrew Neil shows under fire John Bercow no mercy as he roasts him over Trump row!"
Andrew Neil in fine form as he takes the piss out of John Bercow's political posturing.
Manchester Airport 'pipe bomb' suspect in court per BBC News but it's not terrorism
The last line of this BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-38954293 has me puzzled:
'A man accused of having a pipe bomb in his hand luggage at Manchester Airport has appeared in court.
Nadeem Muhammed, 43, of Tinline Street, Bury, was stopped by security staff on 30 January.
He was questioned and then released by police, before his rearrest on Sunday.
The Pakistani national, charged with making or possessing an explosive under suspicious circumstances, was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Southwark Crown Court on 13 March.
Katie McCreath, defending, indicated that he would be plead not guilty to the charge at a future hearing.
Jessica Hart, prosecuting, said the case would not be proceeding under the terrorism protocol.'
He is alleged to have had a pipe bomb in his luggage. Other than terrorism what could the motive possibly have been?
What's sauce for the racist goose is not sauce for the racist gander
What would happen to a white politician who said that "black skin is sub-humxn."...."Black ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual"?
The media would scream RACIST and hound them until they were forced out of public life. This would happen in the USA, in the UK where the BBC would lead the attacks, and of course in ever so politically correct Canada.
It would seem that this may not be the case when it's a black lives matter activist in Canada abusing white people.
'She also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: "Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today."
While these remarks alarmed many Canadians, they pale in comparison to a statement numerous sources forwarded to the Sun that Khogali appears to have posted on Facebook in late 2015.
"Whiteness is not humxness," the statement begins. "infact, white skin is sub-humxn." The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.
"White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual," the post reads towards the end. "white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to."'
You can read more about this here http://m.torontosun.com/2017/02/11/black-lives-matter-co-founder-appears-to-label-white-people-defects but somehow I doubt that the story will be reported by the BBC.

Passengers leave plane as pilot 'rants' about divorce and Trump per BBC News
The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38948711 that:
'Passengers leave plane as pilot 'rants' about divorce and Trump
United Airlines removed a pilot from a flight bound for San Francisco from Austin, Texas on Saturday after the pilot's behaviour alarmed passengers.'
Unfortunately nobody is removing from the airwaves the BBC 'journalists' who are pushing an anti President Donald Trump agenda day after day after day.

Is the BBC biased?: Hugh Sykes on trial
This piece http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/hugh-on-trial.html by Craig at the wonderfully detailed isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk provides a full transcript of the BBC Feedback section that I picked up on in my piece here http://notasheepmaybeagoat.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/hugh-sykes-ignorant-or-deliberately.html
The transcript lays out Hugh Sykes' discomfort for your reading pleasure.
Is the BBC biased?: Hugh Pym says the BBC got it about right
The BBC's relentless attacks on the Conservative government over the NHS for the last week or so has been hard to ignore. Attacks that neatly tie up with the Labour Party's best chance of garnering support.
So I was intrigued to read this piece http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/hugh-pym-says-bbc-got-it-about-right.html at the wonderful isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk. It records the views of the BBC's Hugh Pym, you won't be amazed to learn that he thinks that the BBC had not been partial in its reporting, here's an extract:
'SAMIRA AHMED: Some complaints have been that it's felt the BBC has been politically campaigning and saying this is all about more funding for the NHS.
HUGH PYM: Well, there is a groundswell of opinion that the NHS should have more funding, that health spending in the UK as a whole as a share of national income is below France and Germany, has fallen. The IFS during the week have made clear that spending will fall in a way it has never done before in terms of spending per head of the population. We have taken those arguments and put them forward. We've been accused in the past of not addressing lack of funding. We haven't been politicising it. We've stated what the facts are, and there is actually a cross-party move now campaigning for more funding. Equally, we have been very clear that there are some who feel the NHS could make more efficient use of its resources and we have reflected that argument, that it's not just about money, it's about better ways of joining up care, better ways of spending money. But it is an important debate and I think it's only right to address the issue of funding throughout the week. '
It's odd how this alleged "groundswell of opinion" is a good thing but votes against Brexit or pro President Donald Trump are unfortunate manifestations of populism.
John Bercow 'impartial' despite Remain vote per BBC News
John Bercow has been revealed as being anti Brexit, anti President Donald Trump and pro immigration, something tells me that the BBC will definitely not be saying that he's not impartial.
Imagine that the House of Commons speaker had been revealed as being pro Brexit, pro President Donald Trump and anti unfettered immigration. Something tells me that the BBC would be casting doubts as to his suitability for the impartial role of Speaker.
Remember that the BBC is also meant to be politically impartial, but isn't.
You can read more about the BBC and John Bercow here on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38947257
If you want to know more about John Bercow then Saturday's Times might be of interest... The BBC will definitely not be reporting that piece of news linking John Bercow and Keith Vaz.

A Danish reporter tries to interview ANTIFA, so the left shows its true values
Lefty types chasing a Jew down the streets of Norrebro whilst screaming "Nazi Jew"! That's partially the result of much of the media, including the institutionally anti Israel BBC, calling Israelis (and by extension Jews) Nazis, it's given an excuse to anti Semitic lefty types.

Hugh Sykes - ignorant or deliberately misleading?
Today's Feedback http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08cvmh0b08cvmh0b08cvmh0 included a piece criticising a Hugh Sykes report about President Donald Trump's Executive Order temporarily restricting immigration from seven countries that have been linked with terrorism. The piece was quite amusing as Hugh Sykes is rarely criticised for being insufficiently pro Islam or immigration, so it was quite fun to hear him dancing around to try and prove his PC credentials.
However what really struck me was his comment from 6:30 to 6:38 that he's heard many Muslim leaders say that these (terrorists) aren't true Muslims:
'If you kill an innocent person it's like killing the whole of humanity, which is roughly speaking a quote from the Koran.'
The problem is that that quotation is somewhat longer than Hugh Sykes makes out, and in full means something somewhat different. The quotation is from Sura 5:32 which in full says:
'On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.'
So clearly 5:32 is a commandment to the Children of Israel, the Jews, not Muslims.
However even if you ignore the first part of the Sura that specifically refers to the Jews, the commandment goes on "unless it be for murder or spreading mischief in the land." If someone is "spreading mischief", he can still be killed. Islamist terrorists believe that Americans, British, French etc. are spreading mischief in Palestine and around the world, so even if this verse were to apply to non Jews, they would still be justified in slaughtering those "spreading mischief".
So the question is: does Hugh Sykes not know what the whole Sura that quotation comes from says or does he know but would rather we don't know?
Adjusting the temperature to fit the theory
'The supposed global temperature in 1910 has been mysteriously cooling over the past eight years, while that of 2000 has been mysteriously warming — which creates a steeper curve, though still not steep enough. This is known as fake news.'
More here http://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/02/why-dont-the-eus-pensioners-in-the-lords-have-to-declare-their-interest/ and at other reliable climate change websites, but obviously not on the warmist BBC.
Why don't the EU's pensioners in the Lords have to declare their interest?
The fact that Peers such as Lord Mandleson have large EU pensions which are at risk if they oppose the EU is something that I have blogged about before. So I was interested to read Matt Ridley's piece in the Spectator http://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/02/why-dont-the-eus-pensioners-in-the-lords-have-to-declare-their-interest/
'... Peers are obliged to declare any interest that 'might be thought by a reasonable member of the public' to influence the way they discharge their parliamentary duties — unless it is an EU pension.
In 2007, a Lords subcommittee said that because their contracts oblige them to support the EU, an EC pensioner who made 'intemperate criticism of the commission' would have contravened their obligations under the Treaty of Rome 'and therefore could in theory damage his pension'.
Nonetheless, the subcommittee concluded, in a magnificent non sequitur, 'There was no doubt of the integrity of the members of the House who had served as EU commissioners and it would be distasteful to call on them to declare their interest when speaking.' Distasteful!'
Integrity and Peter Mandleson? Well it's possible I suppose.
Distasteful and Peter Mandleson? Certainly.
An unbiased news organisation would at least mention the above possible conflict of interest when interviewing the likes of Peter Mandleson and Neil Kinnock, so that explains why the BBC don't say a word about it.
Trey Gowdy questions Hillary Clinton during the Benghazi hearings
I've watched this footage before, I believe that I've posted it here too.
Do watch the whole video but pay great attention to Hillary Clinton's face and listen to her voice between 3:40 and 6:05 and especially between 6:05 and 7:33.
If Abraham Lincoln earned the nickname 'Honest Abe' what should Hillary Clinton's nickname be?
BBC World Service - Newsday, Thousands Hanged At Syria Prison - Amnesty - Was there really no investigation by the BBC of the claims?
This BBC World Service programme http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04rcyyz has the lead in text 'A new report by Amnesty International alleges that mass hangings took place every week at Saydnaya prison between September 2011 and December 2015'.
Is that true? What is the source for those figures?
If you're interested in the truth, the BBC clearly aren't, then take a read of this http://newobserveronline.com/amnesty-internationals-syria-report-made-nonsense/ here's an extract:
'A close reading of the report, however, reveals that Amnesty International in fact only claims to have the names of 36 people executed at the prison, and has based the "5,000 to 13,000" figure on a purely theoretical extrapolation drawn from anonymous statements made by opponents of the Assad government—with absolutely no backing evidence whatsoever.'
Do read the whole of that New Observer Online article, my jaw dropped more than once.
Are the BBC really not interested in fact checking news that fits in with their prejudices? I think we know the answer to that question.
The Sorry Truth Is That the Virus of Anti-Semitism Has Infected the British Muslim Community per Mehdi Hasan in The Huffington Post
'It pains me to have to admit this but anti-Semitism isn't just tolerated in some sections of the British Muslim community; it's routine and commonplace. Any Muslims reading this article - if they are honest with themselves - will know instantly what I am referring to. It's our dirty little secret. You could call it the banality of Muslim anti-Semitism.
I can't keep count of the number of Muslims I have come across - from close friends and relatives to perfect strangers - for whom weird and wacky anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are the default explanation for a range of national and international events. Who killed Diana and Dodi? The Mossad, say many Muslims. They didn't want the British heir to the throne having an Arab stepfather. What about 9/11? Definitely those damn Yehudis. I mean, why else were 4,000 Jews in New York told to stay home from work on the morning of 11 September 2001? How about the financial crisis? Er, Jewish bankers. Obviously. Oh, and the Holocaust? Don't be silly. Never happened.
Growing up, I always assumed that this obsession with 'the Jews' was a hallmark of the 'first-generation' immigrants from the subcontinent. In recent years, I've been depressed to discover that there are plenty of 'second-generation' Muslim youths, born and bred in multiracial Britain, who have drunk the anti-Semitic Kool-Aid. I'm often attacked by them for working in the "Jewish owned media".
The truth is that the virus of anti-Semitism has infected members of the British Muslim community, both young and old. No, the on-going Israel-Palestine conflict hasn't helped matters. But this goes beyond the Middle East. How else to explain why British Pakistanis are so often the most ardent advocates of anti-Semitic conspiracies, even though there are so few Jews living in Pakistan?
It is sheer hypocrisy for Muslims to complain of Islamophobia in every nook and cranny of British public life, to denounce the newspapers for running Muslim-baiting headlines, and yet ignore the rampant anti-Semitism in our own backyard. We cannot credibly fight Islamophobia while making excuses for Judaeophobia.
...
The time has come for us to own up to a rather shameful fact: Muslims are not only the victims of racial and religious prejudice but purveyors of it, too.'
This post from the Huffington Post's UK political director Mehdi Hasan is from a few years ago and deserves repeat reading.
I presume that he thinks it was terribly brave to write such an article, you can read the whole piece here http://www.huffpost.com/uk/entry/2922013 , however nowhere in his musings does he ponder what causes the rampant anti Semitisn that infects so much of British, and other, Islam.
Would pointing a finger at the Koran have been a step too far? Or does Mehdi Hasan not think the blame lies there? If he doesn't blame the Koran, what does he blame?

'The Left Hates You. Act Accordingly' per Kurt Schlichter
This article http://m.townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2017/02/06/the-left-hates-you-act-accordingly-n2281602 contains much of interest to anyone not infected by one of the diseases of leftism, warmism or social justicism.
Here's an extract that is pretty hard to argue with:
'They hate you.Leftists don't merely disagree with you. They don't merely feel you are misguided. They don't think you are merely wrong. They hate you. They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead. Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense. And you will understand what you need to be ready to do.You are normal, and therefore a heretic. You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable. You must burn.
Crazy talk? Just ask them. Go ahead. Go on social media. Find a leftist...
Understand that when they call Donald Trump "illegitimate," what they are really saying is that our desire to govern ourselves is illegitimate. Their beef isn't with him – it's with us, the normal people who dared rise up and demand their right to participate in the rule of this country and this culture.
But all the leftist sects agree – they have found the revealed truth, and imposing it upon the benighted normals like us is so transcendently important that they are relieved of any moral limitations. They are ISIS, except with hashtags instead of AKs, committed to the establishment of a leftist caliphate.
You wonder why the left is now justifying violence? Because they think that helps them right now. Today it's suddenly OK to punch a "Nazi." But the punchline is that anyone who opposes them is a "Nazi."
You wonder why they ignore the rule of law, why they could switch on a dime from screaming at Trump for refusing to preemptively legitimize a Hillary win and then scream that he is illegitimate the moment she lost? Because their only principle is what helps the left win today.
That's why the media gleefully, happily lies every single day about every single thing it reports. Objectivity? When that stopped being a useful thing, it stopped being a thing at all.'
A&E figures for January 'worst ever', leaked data suggests per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38907492 on NHS A&E waiting times includes this passage:
'The Royal College of Emergency Medicine said their figures backed up those seen by the BBC.
Vice-president Dr Chris Moulton said: "While increasing numbers of doctors is vital, the more pressing problem is a lack of beds.
"We simply do not have any more room to put patients - we have the lowest number of acute beds per capita in Europe.'
This is the closest that the BBC report gets to looking at why demand for A&E beds is so high, and thus why the number of beds related to the population is so low.
Would the ratio of acute beds to population be so low if the post 1997 flood of immigration had not have happened? The BBC are pushing the blame onto the current Conservative government for not supplying enough resources to the NHS, whilst deliberately ignoring the increase in demand due to the massive increase in population from immigration. I would ask why but you all know the reasons.

Donald Trump from 1987 Why Are We Protecting Saudi Arabia?
So President Donald Trump has had at least some of his views for almost 30 years.
Pat Condell- Why if you have an ounce of humanity you should support Israel
This video is for the anti Semitic scum that used to infect my Twitter account and the anti Semitic scum I encounter on the web every day.
It's also for the so called journalists at the institutionally anti Israel BBC, The Guardian newspaper and the The Independent (formerly a newspaper).
Former NOAA Scientist Confirms Colleagues Manipulated Climate Records per Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
The manipulation of data to arrive at desired conclusions is not science. However don't expect the warmists at the BBC to report on this inconvenient truth.
'In the summer of 2015, NOAA scientists published the Karl study, which retroactively altered historical climate change data and resulted in the elimination of a well-known climate phenomenon known as the "climate change hiatus." The hiatus was a period between 1998 and 2013 during which the rate of global temperature growth slowed. This fact has always been a thorn in the side of climate change alarmists, as it became difficult to disprove the slowdown in warming. The Karl study refuted the hiatus and rewrote climate change history to claim that warming had in fact been occurring. The committee heard from scientists who raised concerns about the study's methodologies, readiness, and politicization. In response, the committee conducted oversight and sent NOAA inquiries to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Karl study. Over the course of the committee's oversight, NOAA refused to comply with the inquiries, baselessly arguing that Congress is not authorized to request communications from federal scientists. This culminated in the issuance of a congressional subpoena, with which NOAA also failed to comply. During the course of the investigation, the committee heard from whistleblowers who confirmed that, among other flaws in the study, it was rushed for publication to support President Obama's climate change agenda.'
The refusal of the NOAA to release information reminds me of the BBC's refusal to release the Balen Report into the BBC's bias in reporting on Israel.
There's more about the NOAA here https://science.house.gov/news/press-releases/former-noaa-scientist-confirms-colleagues-manipulated-climate-records
There's more about the BBC, the Balen Report and the BBC's institutional anti Israel stance all over this blog.

Sebastian Gorka during the US Presidential Election campaign - "The war is real and the war is here"
You want to know why Donald Trump won the US Presidential Election, it was interviews like this one.
The American people had had enough of the two coast elites telling them what was the 'compassionate' thing to do. The majority of Americans want to live safely and Hillary Clinton's immigration policy was not going to lead to that.
Sebastian Gorka makes a ridiculous comment in this video
Sebastian Gorka doesn't expect that sort of question from the BBC? Really?
Sebastian Gorka should realise that the BBC specialise in straw man arguments, ad hominem attacks and blatant propagandising on behalf of their left wing beliefs.
The question that he was asked is precisely the sort of question that he should have expected to be asked by the BBC.
World leaders duped by manipulated global warming data per Daily Mail Online
Here's some climate change news that you won't find reported by the warmists at the BBC.
'The Mail on Sunday today reveals astonishing evidence that the organisation that is the world's leading source of climate data rushed to publish a landmark paper that exaggerated global warming and was timed to influence the historic Paris Agreement on climate change.
A high-level whistleblower has told this newspaper that America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) breached its own rules on scientific integrity when it published the sensational but flawed report, aimed at making the maximum possible impact on world leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron at the UN climate conference in Paris in 2015.
The report claimed that the 'pause' or 'slowdown' in global warming in the period since 1998 – revealed by UN scientists in 2013 – never existed, and that world temperatures had been rising faster than scientists expected. Launched by NOAA with a public relations fanfare, it was splashed across the world's media, and cited repeatedly by politicians and policy makers.
But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, 'unverified' data.
It was never subjected to NOAA's rigorous internal evaluation process – which Dr Bates devised.
His vehement objections to the publication of the faulty data were overridden by his NOAA superiors in what he describes as a 'blatant attempt to intensify the impact' of what became known as the Pausebuster paper.'
More about this here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4192182/World-leaders-duped-manipulated-global-warming-data.html but never ever on the BBC for whom warmist belief is close to being a religion.

Imagine...
In Saturday's Times Ken Clarke says "It's absurd to say 16m who voted Remain have no voice".
Imagine that the EU Referendum had resulted in 17m for Remain and 16m for Leave, do you think that Ken Clarke would think that the 16m who voted leave should have a voice.
Imagine that the EU Referendum had resulted in 17m for Remain and 16m for Leave, do you think that the BBC would think that the 16m who voted Leave should be given as much airtime as they accord Remain supporters now?

Former Chaplain to the Queen: UK Cities Could Soon Be Islamic
More from that Breitbart article http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/03/former-chaplain-queen-britain-islamic-generations/
'... at an inter-faith conference in 2003, an imam he describes as an "eminently serious scholar" stood up and said: "The UK is going to be an Islamic republic in the time of my grandchildren, and I don't need to do anything about it, it's just going to happen"."
If you look at your five northern conurbations," the imam added, "already the majority of people under 16 are Muslim." He said that those people would elect Muslim mayors who in turn would feel democratic pressure to introduce Sharia practices.
Rev Ashenden said that afterwards he googled the imam's claims and found that everything he mentioned about demographics was true. "Mix demography and democracy and you're going to have Islamic city states in the UK very quickly," Rev Ashenden added.'
It's our future, like it or not.
I'd forgotten that this wrinkle might apply to the Scottish cathedral allowing Muslim prayers to be said in it
Remember the fuss over the Scottish cathedral that allowed Islamic prayers to be said in it? Presumably this was to show how open minded, tolerant and multicultural they were?
This Breitbart article http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/03/former-chaplain-queen-britain-islamic-generations/ reminded me that:
'... many Muslims would be bewildered by the cathedral's decision to host such a reading, as according to Islam once a place is used for Islamic prayer it then becomes permanently Islamic.'
Open minded or empty headed? Tolerant or dhimmified? Multicultural or cultural suicide?
Read the rest of the Breitbart linked article for an insight into the Islamic future of the UK and by extension Europe.
Bleeding Germany dry?
'Migrants and asylum seekers cost Germany's federal government €21.7 billion (£18.2 billion) in 2016, according to a Finance Ministry report published last week. The latest data is thought to reveal only around half of the true cost to German taxpayers. State and municipal governments expect to fork out around €21 billion ( (£18.1 billion) a year, rising to €30 billion (£25.9 billion) by 2020, on migrants' cost of living.'

Germany: 'Almost All Asylum Seekers Allowed to Stay Permanently' - No Shit Sherlock

Trump travel ban: Seattle judge issues nationwide block versus Egyptian national tried to carry out a terrorist attack in Paris - the BBC can't connect the two
The BBC are exultant that President Donald Trump has had his restrictions on entry into the USA from seven countries put in doubt by a Federal Judge.
Yet they also report that:
'French authorities say they believe the man who tried to attack the Louvre museum in the capital Paris on Friday was a 29-year-old Egyptian man.Prosecutor Francois Molins said he is thought to have travelled to Paris from Dubai on a tourist visa last month.'
Have the BBC considered that Europeans and indeed Americans might be safer from Islamist terror attack if people from countries that harbour or create such terrorists were checked much more thoroughly before they were allowed into Europe and America.
It is also conceivable that many Europeans and Americans might feel even safer if entry from such countries was made very very difficult indeed.
That would still leave Europe and America with the problem of terrorists from other countries and home grown ones too, but one step at a time...

The funniest thing I've read today, or not...
'The BBC is required to deliver duly impartial news by the Royal Charter and Agreement, and impartiality has for the first time been enshrined in the BBC's mission in the new Charter. The government agrees that it is vitally important that accurate and impartial news is at the centre of the BBC's output.'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The above would be absolutely bloody hysterical were the BBC's relentless bias not so obvious and so detrimental to the interests of the UK and elsewhere in the civilised world.
US announces new sanctions against Iran and President Donald Trump hits the nail on the head
"Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how 'kind' President Obama was to them. Not me!" said President Donald Trump.

Did Diane Abbott have 'Brexit flu'? Per BBC News
Imagine that a senior Conservative politician had ducked out of a House of Commons vote, claiming to be sick. Imagine that Guido Fawkes and others had video of her in action not long before the vote. How much attention would the BBC have paid to this? How much deep investigation of this Conservative politician would Today, Newsnight etc have conducted?
Now see what happens when probably the third most senior Labour Party politician, Diane Abbott does just that?
Here's about the only BBC report that I can find http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-38840352
Pathetic but why should one expect better of the media wing of the Labour Party?
Kuwait imposes visa ban on five Muslim-majority nations including Pakistan not you'd know this if you relied upon the pro Islamist and hideously anti President Donald Trump BBC
The BBC are up in arms about President Donald Trump instituting a temporary ban on entering the USA for citizens of seven countries that have links to terrorism.
Oddly the BBC have not reported that Kuwait has instituted a similar policy re Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-38849868 includes this comment:
'Nato estimates for 2016 show that only five alliance members - the US, UK, Greece, Poland and Estonia - will spend a minimum of 2% of national output (GDP) on defence, which is the target.'
Reading on it is odd that the BBC aren't at all exercised by countries not meeting their NATO defence spending targets but really really angry at any suggestion that the UK not meet its International Development budget.
I suppose that for the internationalist, no Borders, BBC, defence of the realm is less important than transferring money from UK taxpayers to the rich elite of third world countries. Mercedes Benz dealers need that money...
Shooting incident at Louvre in Paris per BBC News
Apparently http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38853841
'A French soldier on guard at the Louvre in Paris has opened fire on a suspected attacker, media reports say.
A man shouting "Allahu Akbar" is reported to have tried to attack the soldier with a knife and was seriously injured when the soldier responded.
The attacker is said to have been trying to enter the museum's underground shop.
A big security operation is under way and the interior ministry has described the situation as "serious".
The Louvre has been evacuated.
Details of the incident are still emerging.
A French police spokesman said the attacker shouted "Allahu Akbar" - God is great in Arabic - but was not carrying explosives.
Reports say the attacker was carrying one, possibly two suitcases.
Another says he wore a rucksack and carried a machete.'
How long before we hear the following phrases:
Lone wolf
Misunderstander of Islam
Mental health issues
Fear of Islamophobic backlash
News you won't find on the BBC - Palestinian Woman Injures Three Israelis in Car-Ramming Attack Near Jerusalem
Whilst the institutionally anti Israel BBC continue their campaign to delegitimise and vilify Israel, there's yet another biased report on Jewish settlements online today, other news won't be reported at all.
Breitbart report http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2017/02/02/palestinian-woman-injures-three-israelis-car-ramming-attack-near-jerusalem/ on another attack in Israel where the attacker injured three civilians who have been evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment.
This sort of attack is of little interest to the BBC for whom injured or dead Jewish Israelis are irrelevant to the furtherance of the cause of the Palestinian people.
Turkey Bans Footage of Terror Attacks and the Phrase 'Breaking News' from TV per Breitbart
If you cannot stop the terrorism then stop the reporting.
Breitbart reports http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/02/02/turkey-limits-tv-broadcasts-terrorism-news/ that:
'Turkey's broadcasting oversight agency has enacted a new set of regulations that prohibit news outlets from broadcasting footage of terrorist attacks, including images of police and emergency vehicles, and bans the phrase "breaking news" and other "agitating" content.
The newspaper Hurriyet has translated into English many of these new measures, which follow a renewed push by Turkish authorities to promote the nation's tourism industry. A string of terrorist attacks by the Islamic State and Marxist Kurdish groups have significantly impacted the nation's previously thriving tourist sector.
According to Hurriyet, Turkey's Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has decreed that news tickers may no longer show the words "breaking news," and "criticism and commentary" on broadcasts alerting viewers to a terrorist attack are now banned.The regulations prohibit broadcasting any "exaggerated statements involving agitation" and images of the attack itself unless the government specifically provides for such broadcast. Harriet adds that images of "fire department vehicles, police vehicles, ambulance footage, witness accounts, officials at the scene, and evidence-collecting work" are also banned.'

Bank of England sharply raises 2017 growth outlook per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38841747 is given through clenched teeth...
'The Bank of England has made another dramatic rise in its growth forecast for this year.It expects the economy to grow 2% in 2017, up from a November forecast of 1.4%, which was itself an upgrade from the 0.8% forecast made in August.'
Project Fear, as willingly spread by the institutionally pro EU BBC, really was a crock of sh*t.
Most Britons back Donald Trump's planned state visit to UK, poll finds per The Times via the London Evening Standard
Despite the BBC's relentless anti President Donald Trump propaganda it seems that the British public are not buying it.
The London Evening Standard reports http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/most-britons-back-donald-trumps-planned-state-visit-to-uk-poll-finds-a3455216.html on a YouGov opinion poll for The Times that will definitely not be reported by the BBC.
'Most Britons back Donald Trump's planned state visit toBritain, a poll has found.The survey, conducted by YouGov for The Times, found 49 per cent of the British public supported Mr Trump's UK visit with 36 per cent opposed.'
The BBC will just have to increase the anti President Donald Trump message.
An inconvenient truth
This BBC report htttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-38837263 includes what should raise questions but won't.

Bangladesh, Pakistan and Myanmar - Refugees or economic migrants? What do you think?
Smuggling Migrants to Europe Now a Major Funding Source for Islamic State per Breitbart
News that you'll never find reported on the pro unlimited immigration BBC. This from Breitbart http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/01/smuggling-migrants-funding-islamic-state/
'Nearly 400,000 migrants reached Europe by sea in 2016, and more than 5,000 are believed to have died attempting the journey, aid agencies estimate.
In 2015 the then Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott, urged the European Union (EU) to turn boats back to Africa, saying: "If you want to keep life safe, you've got to keep the boats stopped."
"The great thing about Operation Sovereign Borders is that, in stopping the boats, we have stopped the deaths," he added.
However, European Commission spokesman Natasha Bertaud said the Australian model "can never be a model" for the EU, as it would violate international obligations.'
400,000 in one year and there's millions more who want to come too. How many before Natasha Bertaud will concede that maybe too many have come? Or is there no limit? Will anyone ask this European Commission spokesman, or would that be considered rude?
I have read many times that this massive Muslim immigration from the Middle East and North Africa is part of a deliberate plan to partly replace the European population and to breakdown national sentiment. Previously I considered this possible but not likely, a conspiracy theory, now I am not so sure...
UC Berkeley cancels Breitbart speaker as students protest per BBC News
The BBC are keen to cast aspersions http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38837142 on any supporter of President Donald Trump.
'Mr Yiannopoulos is an outspoken supporter of President Trump.
...
Mr Yiannopoulos's comments have been criticised as racist and misogynist.'
Oddly strong supporters of Hillary Clinton were not described as outspoken.
Oddly Islamist preachers who explain how hard a husband may beat his wife is not described by the BBC as a misogynist.
The BBC's political prejudices are easy to spot but much harder to excuse.
Anti-Semitic hate crime at record high, says UK charity per BBC News
Apparently:
'The CST, which has recorded data since 1984, said a perceived increase in racism and xenophobia following the EU referendum and greater discussion of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party could explain the rise.'
That's it, blame Brexit but shh don't mention a religion that spreads hatred of Jews. Not a single mention of Islam, how odd.

There's an interesting nugget of information in this BBC report on the NHS overseas patient's £330,000 unpaid bill - yes a Nigerian maternity patient
Did you realise this?
'Some patients, such as refugees and those applying for asylum, are exempt from charges.'
Why?
Is the BBC biased?: Dreams destroyed
Sometimes I wonder why I bother blogging! I've been mulling for quite a while writing a post about the BBC'a relentless anti President Donald Trump output. But before I can write it, I find that the wonderful isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk have done the analysis and transcription.
So just go here... http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.in/2017/01/dreams-destroyed.html
Maybe I should give up blogging and just post a link to isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk here instead!

A fascinating revelation at the wonderful isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk here http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.in/2017/01/from-another-planet-to-bbc.html
There may be a senior British newsman who actually sees through the left and it's anti Trump bile. He's also not scared to tell the truth.
Tim Marshall take a bow. How long before pressure is applied to you?

Labour hypocrisy - London Mayor Sadiq Khan Hosting Party Tonight With 11 Nations Who Ban Israelis
'Just hours after demanding the government rescinds its invite to President Trump over his travel ban, Sadiq Khan will tonight host a City Hall reception with 11 dignitaries whose countries bar Israeli citizens from entering.
Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen will all be represented at the gathering of ambassadors this evening. All 11 of these countries block travel to Israeli passport holders.
Khan will use tonight's party to criticise Trump's ban as "cruel, prejudiced and counterproductive." While dining with 11 diplomats whose countries have done the same for years. '
The finest Labour hypocrisy but as it's anti Israel and by a senior London politician it won't be reported by the institutionally anti Israel and pro Labour Party BBC.
More at Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2017/01/31/khan-hosting-party-tonight-with-11-nations-who-ban-israelis/
Corbyn's Alternative Facts on Thatcher and Apartheid as not reported by the BBC
Guido Fawkes https://order-order.com/2017/01/31/corbyns-thatcher-apartheid-lie/ has found another example of a Labour lie.
'Jeremy Corbyn has written to Theresa May claiming Margaret Thatcher "supported Apartheid".
He's tweeted the same:
A demonstrably untrue statement straight out of the Trumpian playbook that the Labour leader is currently copying.
Nelson Mandela praised Thatcher's role in helping to end Apartheid, famously saying:
"She is an enemy of Apartheid. We have much to thank her for."
Amhed Kathadra, one of Mandela's closest friends, said Thatcher was instrumental in ending Apartheid:
"Her word did count – I'm sure of it… Mrs Thatcher wasn't one of our oppressors."
Strangely the BBC are not reporting this latest Labour slur. I suppose in the BBC/Labour Party world facts matter less than pushing the anti Conservative/anti President Donald Trump narrative.
Trump state visit plan 'very difficult' for Queen per BBC News
The BBC's relentless attacks on President Donald Trump continue apace.
This report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38805196 tells us how upset a Foreign Office mandarin is.
'Lord Ricketts, who was permanent secretary at the Foreign Office from 2006 to 2010, said it was unprecedented for a US president to be invited for a state visit in their first year in the White House.
In a letter to the Times, he questioned whether Mr Trump was "specially deserving of this exceptional honour" and described the invitation as "premature".
"It would have been far wiser to wait to see what sort of president he would turn out to be before advising the Queen to invite him.
"Now the Queen is put in a very difficult position," he said.'
Oddly there's no mention of Lord Ricketts views on the King of Saudi Arabia being accorded a State Visit. Did the fragrant Lord Ricketts have any idea of what sort of ruler, of what sort of State, he was? Is Lord Ricketts not at all exercised about public executions, apartheid operating in Mecca, hideous human rights abuses and the other manifestations of Islamic rule in that country?
How about the President of The Peoples Republic of China? Did Lord Ricketts have any issue with the President of that country being granted a State Visit? Was he concerned about the invasion, occupation and ethnic cleansing of Tibet? How about the executions, restrictions on human rights and other human rights restrictions in that country.
Some might say that Lord Ricketts's protestations are a little selective.

Devolved leaders call for Brexit role at Cardiff talks per BBC News
The BBC happily press this claim http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-38793370 whilst trying to ignore the Supreme Court's decision which they mention only at the end of the report.
'Mrs May has already highlighted that the Supreme Court had set out "beyond doubt" that relations with the EU would be decided by the UK government.
"We will not agree on everything, but that doesn't mean we will shy away from the necessary conversations and I hope we will have further constructive discussions today," she said.
"We have also had the Supreme Court judgment which made clear beyond doubt that relations with the EU are a matter for the UK government and UK parliament.
"We should not forget that that means MPs representing every community in the UK will be fully involved in the passage of Article 50 through parliament."'
The BBC are happy to accept the Supreme Court decision that Parliament has to vote before Article 50 can be triggered, after all that way there's a chance that the democratic will of the majority can be overturned. However they are less keen on the other decision about the role of the devolved bodies in the decision making.
An impartial observer might conclude that the BBC was pushing an agenda rather impartially reporting the news. Perish the thought!
Trump executive order: Million sign petition to stop UK visit per BBC News
The BBC who have done their best to stir up anti President Trump sentiment in the UK report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38795998 approvingly on a petition that says:
"Donald Trump should be allowed to enter the UK in his capacity as head of the US Government, but he should not be invited to make an official State Visit because it would cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen."
Oddly I don't remember the BBC being as exercised by the Saudis having a State Visit. Saudi Arabia being a state that all but enslaves some workers from the Indian subcontinent, denies equal rights to women, operates a system of apartheid in Mecca and regularly executes people.
Nor was the BBC that worried by the Chinese being accorded a State visit. China regularly executing more people than any other country. China having invaded a sovereign country, Tibet, still occupying it and having ethnically cleansed it.
I'm all for having principles but the BBC seem rather selective with theirs.
If President Donald Trump is a vile racist, so was Jimmy dhimmi Carter
'... "Trump is a monster, a madman and a vile racist. He's just like Hitler. Or Jimmy Carter.
During the Iranian hostage crisis, Carter issued a number of orders to put pressure on Iran. Among these, Iranians were banned from entering the United States unless they oppose the Shiite Islamist regime or had a medical emergency."
He cites two specific actions. One was an order for Iranian students to report to immigration offices in order to determine if they had violated the terms of their visa; if they had, they would be deported. The second was an order to end all future visas for Iranians and to stop issuing most new visas. '
Interesting historical context, of the sort that the BBC will definitely not ever relay.
Seven Inconvenient Facts About Trump's Refugee Actions per Breitbart
Are you tired of the anti President Donald Trump temporary refugee restrictions coverage on the BBC and elsewhere?
This Breitbart article http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/01/29/trumps-immigration-pause-sober-defenses-vs-hysterical-criticism/ should give you some more sober analysis. Here's one example:
'The order is based on security reviews conducted by President Barack Obama's deputies. As White House counselor Kellyanne Conway pointed out on "Fox News Sunday," the seven nations named in Trump's executive order are drawn from the Terrorist Prevention Act of 2015. The 2015 "Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act of 2015" named Iraq, Iran, Sudan, and Syria, while its 2016 update added Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.
"These are countries that have a history of training, harboring, exporting terrorists. We can't keep pretending and looking the other way," said Conway.'
Except the majority of the main stream media, especially the BBC, are happy to keep pretending and keep looking the other way, whilst also throwing as much shit as possible at President Donald Trump.
6 dead, 2 arrested after shooting at Quebec City mosque per CBC News
The BBC report on the Montreal mosque shooting misses a piece of information that I found on CBC http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/montreal/quebec-city-mosque-gun-shots-1.3957686
'A witness, who asked to remain anonymous, told CBC's French-language service Radio-Canada that two masked individuals entered the mosque. "It seemed to me that they had a Québécois accent. They started to fire, and as they shot they yelled, 'Allahu akbar!' '
So maybe not the Islamophobic attack that the BBC are praying it was.
The CBC report may be incorrect of course but it's always fascinating to see why the BBC deem worth reporting.

Sir Mo Farah: Olympic champion criticises Donald Trump's...
For what?
'Trump's executive order halted the entire US refugee programme and also instituted a 90-day travel ban for nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The executive order also applies to those who hold dual nationality with one of the listed countries.
On Saturday, a US judge issued a temporary halt to the deportation of visa holders or refugees stranded at airports .
rump border policy:
Key points
Farah does not have dual nationality or hold a Somali passport and it is understood his advisers are trying to clarify the situation with the US authorities.'
If Mo Farah is a British citizen and doesn't hold dual nationality then what's the potential problem?
Is this just another angle for the biased BBC to attack President Donald Trump from?

Mini-boom in living standards is over, says think tank per BBC News

Anything other than economic doom, despair and despondency under a Conservative government is just not possible according to the BBC.
The President Donald Trump executive order on people coming to the USA from certain countries
The BBC are all over President Donald Trump's Executive Order to restrict visitors to the USA.
The BBC are totally against this restriction on free travel.
However try as I might I can find no similar opposition to the 16 countries who ban any visitors to their counties if they hold an Israeli passport
The sixteen countries that forbid admission to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Yemen
Now if only I could work out what connects these sixteen countries...

"One thing that is true of the BBC is of course, you leave all your personal opinions at the door"
When I asked you re the BBC Media Show interview with James Harding to guess what my two word response was a reaction to, I knew that Beeb Bias Craig's isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk would give a full report on that same interview.
Here's that report http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.in/2017/01/one-thing-that-is-true-of-bbc-is-of.html and here's the part that elicited my reaction:
' SH: I guess is . . . I mean, this is a very cheeky question . . .
JH: Hm-hmm (laughs)
SH: And there's no reason why you should have a proper answer to it, in fairness . . .
JH: Can I just say, 'No I don't'(laughs)
SH: Do you . . . well, that might be the answer. Do you know anybody on the journalistic or editorial staff at the BBC, who is pro-Trump?
JH: (two second pause) (inhales) So . . .
SH: As an individual I mean.
JH: So, so really important . . . there's a really important thing here, which is that, people inside the BBC, they are all journalists, actually, one of the great misunderstandings about journalists is that there is such a thing as groupthink. Journalists, by nature, have really contrary opinions, they have different opinions, certainly when, when there's a group of think— er, people who go in one direction, they, by nature, want to go the other direction, you know them as well as I do. Erm, one thing that is true of the BBC is of course, you leave all your personal opinions at the door.'
Craig's response is "Yeah right", mine was a little stronger.
Does anyone truly believe a that any BBC 'journalist' or editor is pro Trump or b) that all BBC 'journalists' leave their 'personal opinions at the door'?
I think bullshit is a fair response.
That racist Donald Trump building a wall on the U.S./Mexico Border
Have you heard that Donald Trump is building a wall on the US/Mexican border, what a racist act.
Meanwhile in the real world, here's a photo of part of the the wall that already exists between the USA and Mexico...
http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/indiana-receives-245-children-crossed-usmexico-border-69884/
President Donald Trump has signed an 'extreme vetting' order to limit immigration and more, including that 'all immigration programmes should include questions to "evaluate the applicant's likelihood of becoming a positively contributing member of society."'
President Donald Trump has kept yet another election promise.
He's suspended the the US Refugee Admissions Programme for 120 days
There's several key parts to this decision, but here's one that in a sane world would be uncontroversial:
All immigration programmes should include questions to "evaluate the applicant's likelihood of becoming a positively contributing member of society."
Who could possibly disagree with that?
The decision also means:
A ban on refugees from Syria until "significant changes" are made
A 90-day suspension on arrivals from Iraq, Syria, and countries designated "areas of concern"
To prioritise future refugee applications on the basis of religious-based persecution - but only if the person is part of a minority religion in their home country. So that's mostly Christians across the Middle East and Africa rather than Muslims.
A cap of 50,000 refugees in 2017 - less than half of the Obama open door policy number.

Trump Prepares Orders Aiming at Global Funding and Treaties per NYTimes.com 'Those criteria include organizations that give full membership to the Palestinian Authority or Palestine Liberation Organization, or support programs that fund abortion or any activity that circumvents sanctions against Iran or North Korea'
This New York Times report https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/united-nations-trump-administration.html will cause apoplexy at the institutionally anti Israel BBC.
'The Trump administration is preparing executive orders that would clear the way to drastically reduce the United States' role in the United Nations and other international organizations, as well as begin a process to review and potentially abrogate certain forms of multilateral treaties.
The first of the two draft orders, titled "Auditing and Reducing U.S. Funding of International Organizations" and obtained by The New York Times, calls for terminating funding for any United Nations agency or other international body that meets any one of several criteria.
Those criteria include organizations that give full membership to the Palestinian Authority or Palestine Liberation Organization, or support programs that fund abortion or any activity that circumvents sanctions against Iran or North Korea. The draft order also calls for terminating funding for any organization that "is controlled or substantially influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism" or is blamed for the persecution of marginalized groups or any other systematic violation of human rights.'
Thankfully the liar Hillary Clinton didn't become US President
This example is about Benghazi but there are other examples.

Israel approves settlement homes following Trump inauguration per BBC News. What's missing from the institutionally anti Israel BBC report?
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38711701 manages not to explain why the Eastern part of Jerusalem is mostly Arab. *Which is because Jews were ethnically cleansed from it by Jordan during the only period in over three thousand years that Jerusalem was split, that being during the occupation by Jordan that lasted from the end of the first war that Israel's launched against the world's only Jewish majority state, in an attempt to destroy it, and their second attempt in 1967.
John McDonnell showing his grasp of geography is about as solid as his grasp of economics

Thanks to http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/musings-on-marr.html for the spot.
When the Remoaners say that the British public weren't told that leaving the EU would mean leaving the Single Market, they are lying.
Remoaners are given a free hand by the pro EU BBC to claim that the British public weren't told that leaving the EU would mean leaving the Single Market. This is demonstrably untrue as the video above here shows.
Surely an unbiased BBC would point this out to any Remoaner who tries to tell this lie in the future.
Trump claims media 'dishonest' over crowd photos per BBC News
The top news report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38707722 on the BBC is yet another angle on the more people attended Barack Hussein Obama's inauguration than attended Donald Trump's.
The BBC are obsessed by this piece of pretty irrelevant news.
Oddly I don't recall the BBC comparing the enormous crowds that were attending Donald Trump's rallies during the US Presidential Election campaign with the poor attendances at Hillary Clinton's rallies.

But Trump hasn't any experience!
Trump can't be President of the United States of America, he's got no experience. That's a regularly heard comment on the BBC and elsewhere. However I don't remember leftists and the BBC making similar comments when a first term Senator from Illinois with no political achievements and absolutely no private business experience at all was elected President of the United States.
Maybe that he was half black made it OK.
£50bn mines could be Europe’s sole source of lithium per Daily Mail Online
The Mail report http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4136600/50bn-mines-Europe-s-sole-source-lithium.html that:
'Cornwall looks set for a £50billion mining revolution after plans were revealed to make Poldark country Europe's sole producer of lithium.
Lithium - known as 'white petroleum' - is used in the rapidly growing market for electric cars and rechargeable batteries in everything from mobile phones to cordless vacuums.
Most lithium is produced in South America, Australia and China but there are vast quantities locked inside its large granite stores up to 1,000 metres below the Cornish soil. But with no European source the UK Government has earmarked lithium as a metal of strategic importance to the country and new mines could be opened or existing ones brought back into action.'
Standby for the eco loons and their supporters in the BBC to spread fear about the environmental impact of such mining.
Melbourne car deaths: Three killed as driver strikes pedestrians per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-38685972 is interesting for several reasons, firstly for the headline blaming the driver not the vehicle as they did in Nice and Berlin. Secondly for the explanation of the police's view that immediately follows the initial description of the incident:
'Three people, including a young child, have died after a car deliberately hit pedestrians in central Melbourne, police say.
At least 29 people were injured, among them a baby who is in a critical condition after the car hit a pram.
Police say they rammed the car, shot the driver in the arm and arrested him.
They say the incident was not terror-related, but is believed to be linked to a stabbing in Melbourne's south-east early on Friday.'
So NOT terror related. It may well not be but I note that PJ Media are reporting a different line based upon at least one witness.

Lefty thinking
It is odd that for lefty types, including the BBC, Hillary Clinton winning 2.1% more of the popular vote than Donald Trump is proof that she should be the next US President. However the same people happily also believe that Brexit winning 4% more of the popular vote than the Remain side is proof that the British public doesn't really know what it wants and so we should call the whole thing off.
