Computer Glitch Gives All AA Pilots Leave Over Christmas Week

I believe this should be filed under a) oops and b) Operations cockup

'An error in American Airlines' flight assignment app has resulted in all of American Airlines' pilots being assigned leave over the Christmas holiday week. That means over 15,000 flights will take off without an assigned pilot.

Unfortunately for the airline, this glitch comes at a time when the union has been trying to get increased holiday pay for their past few contracts. American Airlines has stood firm on not renegotiating holiday pay.'

Police seek help as “brazen” neo-Nazi Holocaust denial graffiti found along 400m stretch of London canal towpath per Campaign Against Antisemitism

'The Metropolitan Police Service is seeking help from members of the public to determine when a shocking trail of antisemitic graffiti was daubed along 400 metres of the canal towpath between Kensal Green and Wormwood Scrubs in London.

The graffiti included swastikas, calls for non-Jews to "wake up", and claims that the Holocaust was a "hoax" and that six million Jews were not murdered.'

Corbyn more dangerous for markets than hard Brexit, warns Morgan Stanley

The BBC are eager to report that economic uncertainty due to Brexit is bad for the economy. They are less than keen to report that the prospect of a severely left wing, Marxist, Labour government under the leadership of comrade Corbyn and kneecaper McDonnell holds deep dangers for the UK economy.

'The prospect of a radical Left-wing lurch under Jeremy Corbyn is a more serious threat to British asset markets than Brexit and risks setting off a drastic repricing of UK plc, a leading US bank has warned.

Morgan Stanley has told clients that there is a two-thirds likelihood of snap elections in the second half of 2018 once it becomes clear that the UK cannot secure the sort of Brexit deal it wants and the Conservative Party starts to fracture, bringing political risk into sharp focus.

"We could see the biggest shake-up in the political backdrop since the Seventies. This is much more scary from an equity perspective than Brexit," said Graham Secker, the bank's chief European equity strategist.

The bank said the "double whammy" of Brexit and a Labour government together could prove toxic for UK stock markets, with the bank's full-blown 'bear case' leading to an economic recession... '

Melbourne man planned New Year's Eve terror attack, police say per BBC News

The BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-42146664 begins thus:

'Australian police have arrested a man they allege was planning to carry out a terror attack during New Year's Eve celebrations in Melbourne.

The 20-year-old man will be charged with terrorism offences that carry a maximum penalty of life in prison, authorities said.

Police allege the man had planned to shoot people with an automatic gun at Federation Square in the city's centre.'

Read on beyond the first set of photos and links and you learn the unsurprising news that he was the child of Somali parents and was linked to ISIL. The BBC know full well that many, if not most people, read just the start of online articles so they hide inconvenient facts down their articles.

Careful, don't aggravate John McDonnell even when he can't answer a simple question

John McDonnell showing his mastery of his brief there. Is he incapable of answering a simple question or does he just not want to answer the question.

If I were the interviewer I'd be a little worried as towards the end of that interview John 'knee-capping might help to change their minds' McDonnell sounded a little irritated.

Why do Andrew Marr, Robert Peston and others seem to hold back when questioning John McDonnell?

It seems to me that political interviewers such as Andrew Marr and Robert Peston seem to hold back when questioning the Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell. When I say hold back, I mean even more so than when questioning other Labour Party leading figures.

Why might this be? Might it have anything to do with fear of John McDonnell's possible reaction to strong questioning? After all after a 100-strong meeting about the IRA at pub in New Cross in 1989, a newspaper report read: “Mr McDonnell went on to describe the Lewisham Labour councillors who had boycotted the meeting as ‘gutless wimps’ and joked that knee-capping might help to change their minds.”

You can read more about John McDonnell and his support for peace here, including his defence which is the old one that he has “no recollection of making these remarks”.

Is the BBC biased on Andrew Marr

This piece by Sue at isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk is a must rear. It covers the expressed bias of the BBC's Andrew Marr with particular and detailed reference to Andrew Marr's interview with Benjamin Netanyahu. Do read the whole long piece here http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2017/11/firm-but-fair-and-very-long.html but there is a brief except that I'll quote here as it relates to Jeremy Corbyn with respect to points that I have made recently:

'Andrew Marr said: "I don't believe Jeremy Corbyn has a single antisemitic bone in his body. "'

Really? I'm not sure if he does or he doesn't, but there's enough circumstantial evidence re his calling Hamas and Hezbollah 'friends', his associating with known anti Semites and his support for anti semitic regimes such as Iran that the question cannot be decided as settled.

Five new revelations in the Russian uranium case per TheHill

The Hill; not Breitbart, not Fox, not a right wing blogger,but THE HILL reports http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/361290-five-new-revelations-in-the-russian-uranium-case thusly:

'Evidence gathered by an FBI undercover informant conflicts with several media reports as well as statements by Justice Department officials concerning the connections between a Russian nuclear bribery case and the Obama administration's approval of the sale of Uranium One to Russia's state-owned Rosatom nuclear company.'

There are five detailed items in this report, none of which will be reported in any way by the pro Hillary Clinton BBC.

Uranium One deal update

https://youtu.be/Pc39y-mJZzA

Information that you won't ever hear on the pro Hillary Clinton BBC. The Uranium One deal stinks but the mainstream media ignores it still.

Plus ca change, plus la meme chose...

CNN's Jake Tapper refers to the Hillary Clinton campaign as "We" several times on election night, 2016.

https://youtu.be/nEv-hhyDPTU

CNN's Jake Tapper is so discombobulated by Donald Trump's inevitable victory that he accidentally admits he and Hillary are one with the word "we." Wolf glancing over at the camera is almost as priceless.

But CNN wasn't, and isn't, biased against Donald Trump and for Hillary Clinton.

I wonder how many at the BBC were thinking the same that night.

Paperchase 'sorry' for Daily Mail offer per BBC News

'Stationery company Paperchase has apologised for a promotional giveaway in the Daily Mail after it was criticised for working with the paper.

The chain offered two free rolls of wrapping paper in Saturday's newspaper.It said it was "truly sorry" after hundreds of people - encouraged by campaign group Stop Funding Hate - urged the chain to end the partnership.'

It is noticeable that The Independent and The Guardian never get criticised or attacked by SJW types for the anti Israel, and by extension, anti semitic sentiments they frequently display. I wonder why.

BBC presenter Reggie Yates ‘glad fat Jewish guys’ have lost grip on music

'Reggie Yates, the BBC DJ and presenter, has apologised for saying that he was glad young musicians were no longer managed by "random fat Jewish guys".

Speaking as a guest on a podcast called Halfcast, Yates, 34, said that it was a good thing that artists were now managed by people that they knew and were close to.

"The thing that makes it great about this new generation of artists is that they aren't signing to major [labels]," he said. "They're independent, they're not managed by some random fat Jewish guy from northwest London, they're managed by their brethren."

...

Jewish groups, including the Campaign Against Antisemitism and the Community Security Trust, said that it played on stereotypes of Jewish people being "money-grabbing".

Yates said: "I am hugely apologetic for this flippant comment. It was not my intention to offend or reinforce stereotypes, but I'm aware that this could have been interpreted that way and for that I am also deeply sorry."'

Some questions for you, Mr Yates:
So what was your intention when you made these comments?

How else could your comments have been interpreted?

Are the comments you made, or the thoughts behind them, acceptable or even common at the BBC?

Do some or many your 'brethren' share these views of Northwest London Jews?

That's the trouble with anti Israel organisations like the BBC. The anti Israel attitude at the BBC too often creates the conditions where casual antisemitism can flourish.

If a 'fat northwest London Jew' had made a similarly disparaging comment about black men in general or Muslims then the BBC would be up in arms and if he worked for the BBC he would be suspended at least. However as Mr Yates is of an approved and protected ethnic group (per the BBC) I predict no serious action will be taken against him.

This sort of double standard makes me angry but also sad.

I'm afraid that there really is no future for Jews in the UK and I'm sorry but for our safety we must leave and take our talents and our, apparently offensive, waistlines with us.

The young had no say in the EU Referendum and now their future is blighted?

'But the young? How can you be so cruel? Their future is blighted….they've had no say!

Oh…hang on….what about 'the young' in 1975? Did they have a say? No. But now they have had their say…40 years on. Brexit.

Funny how all the talking heads forget that.'

A great point by Alan in the comments to this at Biasedbbc.org https://biasedbbc.org/blog/2017/11/18/rebate-debate/

I'll predict what Jeremy Corbyn will do, f**k all

'Rayner, who also serves as shadow education secretary, warned during her address that "people think antisemitism has gone away but the reality is it's absolutely there in every single community, in our campuses and our schools and across our society."
She also called on Labour to confront antisemitism in its ranks, saying, "we need to prove we are not antisemitic as a party."

"I have confidence we are going in the right direction but are we where we need to be? I don't think we're there yet," Rayner added.

"We still have people in our party that are antisemitic. It's not just what we say, it's what we do — and I say that to everyone including my leader."

She pointed to UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's appearance at a December event organized by the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) with Hatem Bazian, a leading proponent of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
IHRC hosts annual Al-Quds Day rallies against Israel, which often feature flags of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, and has claimed that "the British people do not have a say in what the major political parties stand for," as the "parties and their spokespeople are indebted to Jewish financiers with Zionist leanings."

"I will speak to Jeremy about that meeting in December," Rayner said, "and say that it has created upset, and ask him what is he going to do about it personally."'

As for Jeremy Corbyn, I don't know if he's an anti semite but he happily appears with, lunches with and calls 'friends' some truly nasty anti semitic people.

Jeremy "Doesn't Do Dinners" - yeah right! Per Guido Fawkes

'"Jeremy doesn't do dinners", says Emily Thornberry, defending the Labour leader'ssnub of the Balfour centenary dinner, a decision praised by Hamas...

Yeah, right. Let's take a look at Jez's dinner diary…

Pizza with pro-Assad Srebrenica genocide denier Marcus Papadopoulos;

Lamb kofte with terror-apologists at the Stop The War Coalition, where Corbyn was guest of honour;

Dined with Jackie Walker's partner Graham Bash at the height of the anti-semitism scandal surrounding her;

Dinner with Sinn Fein, alongside Gerry Adams and IRA bomber Gerry Kelly

But he "doesn't do dinners"…'

Maybe the Labour Party mean that Jeremy Corbyn doesn't do dinner with Zionists.

Kathy Gyngell: The good news about Brexit – not brought to you by the BBC per The Conservative Woman

'A week ago UBS became possibly the first big bank to come out with an upbeat view on Brexit. Via a combination of public announcements and private briefings, it became clear that the Swiss bank now planned to move only 250 or so jobs from London to an EU location such as Frankfurt, or just 5 per cent of its London headcount. At the start of the year, it had sounded alarm bells over a possible move of 1,000 roles'.

Other big banks, Jenkins went on,  seem to share that more sanguine view. Why? For starters, I'd surmise it's because they don't work either in the 'Land of Remain' that is the Treasury, or the Bank of England.

Patrick, being the professional journalist that he is, engaged in no such polemic. He just reported the facts – that in meetings with European policymakers over recent months, bankers say they have been reassured about a crucial mechanism that will allow business to remain in London. It is something called 'back-to-back' trading which allows an entity in one jurisdiction to carry out a duplicate transaction in a larger location.

If you missed this good news on the BBC it is because it wasn't there. Yes, the banks, able to continue centralising their European capital needs and risk management in London, won't all be rushing off to Frankfurt, now as the BBC and Remainers so determinedly forecast.'

Barbuda's PM blames climate change for hurricane damage per BBC News - Sheer incompetent reporting from the massively over-funded BBC

This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-41998542/barbuda-s-pm-blames-climate-change-for-hurricane-damage runs thus:

'Barbuda's PM blames climate change for hurricane damage

The Prime Minister of Anguila and Barbuda blames climate change for causing the hurricane which devastated Barbuda in November this year. Gaston Browne has called on polluting countries to help with the costs of reconstruction. 15 Nov 2017 From the section Latin America & Caribbean'

Anguila and Barbuda? I think not, Antigua and Barbuda is a two island nation, Anguilla is a separate British Overseas Territory.

Do the BBC know or care about facts?

Venezuela - shh don't tell the British public

Jeremy Corbyn - "There is a different and a better way of doing things. It's called socialism, and it's something that Venezuela has made a big step towards."

President Donald Trump - "The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented."

Obviously this sort of information is too inconvenient to be reported by the Labour Party's propaganda arm the BBC.
