Agenda 2019

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36633238 Corbyn office 'sabotaged' EU Remain campaign - says Kuenssberg Laura Kuenssberg   The obnoxious and politically biased Laura Kuenssberg, wastes no time in pouring out more anti Corbyn smear and bile. Using her usual unnamed "sources" in the Corbyn offices, Kuennsberg jumps into this day of turmoil brought about by resignations and sackings from the Shadow Cabinet to spread her spite and smears. Spreading oil into the flames barely does justice to this woman's hatred of the Labour party and the lengths that she will go to distort truth and manufacture fanciful stories designed discredit and vilify anyone she perceives as an opponent. To describe her as a journalist brings a once noble occupation into disrepute.It is as if she were carrying out some intricate scheme hatched in Conservative Central office with the ultimate prize of a very safe Conservative seat somewhere in the heart of rural England. She...

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/may/12/bbc-bias-labour-sir-michael-lyons?CMP=share_btn_fb#_=_ BBC may have shown bias against Corbyn, says former trust chair Sir Michael Lyons  former chair of the BBC Trust Sir Michael Lyons is right, but uses the word "may have bowed" when everyone knows that the BBC bias against Jeremy Corbyn is rampant. Take the example of the Laura Kuenssberg. Whether the 38 Degrees Petition calling for her to be sacked was "high-jacked" or not, the fact remains that Laura Kuenssberg is a blatantly biased BBC political editor demonstrably hostile to The Labour party generally and Jeremy Corbyn in particular.  Laura Kuenssberg She has no place peddling her own political opinions in television reports where the "news" is usurped by smear, distortion and lies, Whatever may have taken place on Facebook or Twitter, Kuenssberg should still be sacked.

 Over 50 hours of nonstop coverage is excessive. Since around 10pm last Friday night, BBC News 24 and Sky News (and some other news channels) have been reporting from Paris or Brussels (and with almost complete disregard for any other story) on the ISIS atrocity and events associated with or arising from it. I can understand why these events should be reported and I join with others in condemning, unreservedly, any acts of terrorism wherever they may occur. However, I shall require a great deal of convincing that it is necessary to have an almost continuous barrage of "breaking news", comment and looped video clips for over 50 hours and hundreds of thousand of repeated words, phrases and cliches filling the television screen. The media obsession with this is both unhealthy and un necessary and may even suggest that they have another hidden agenda.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/oct/09/taxpayers-alliance-director-tax#_=_ Taxpayers' Alliance admits director doesn't pay British tax Hard on the heels of yesterdays story concerning Alex Wild (who is research director of  Taxpayers Alliance) and his outrageous suggestion to cut pensioners benefits now as many of them will be dead before the next general election and of those remaining, many will not remember who cut their benefiys anyway, comes the revelation that Alexander Heath, a director of the increasingly influential rightwing lobby group lives in France and has paid no tax in the United Kingdom for many years. The Taxpayers Alliance which has very close ties with the Conservative party claims to be "the guardian of taxpayers' money, the voice of taxpayers in the media and their representative at Westminster".At the Conservative party conference, the influence of theTaxpayers Alliance was underlined when David Cameron and George Os...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34439965?SThisFB%3FSThisFB Taxpayers' Alliance: Cut pensioner benefits 'immediately' "Many of those hit by a cut to the winter fuel allowance might "not be around" at the next election, and others would forget which party had done it" Alex Wild of the Taxpayers' Alliance Alex Wild. Taxpayers Alliance    In making a comment which could have been taken straight from  the pages of  "Der Stürmer", Alex Wild reveals the "Taxpayer Alliance" as being little more than another extreme right pressure group, which with support and encouragement from the Conservative party, is fast becoming a dangerous and influential malignancy in British politics. The Conservative party uses this and other noxious groupings, to float out their pernicious ideas for party policy to gauge public reaction and to prepare the British people for even greater excesses during the course of a parliament.   Tax...

An inspiring Conference.     In a hundred years from now, this blog will be studied by analysts and students seeking guidance and inspiration or alternatively (and perhaps most likely) the Blog, its content and its author will have been "consigned to the dustbin of history", as Leon Trotsky and Ronald Reagan once said. However, all were written by me on the dates shown but were not sent to Brighton for inclusion in the speech, so the Telegraph will not be able to raise the criticism that they are old text. Ironically, you could argue (and I probably will at some point), that had Kinnock, Blair, Brown and Milliband minor actually used some of the text sent to them as alleged in the media, they might have been rather more successful with their conference speeches and not bored the pants off the assembled delegates. Incidentally, on the subject of delegates, have you noticed how many delegates and visitors are actually at conference? I have never see...

Sky News reporting the "truth"    Faisal Islam: Sky News. Faisal Islam is the Political Editor of Sky News. He is also compteing with Adam Boulton, Sophy Ridge, Dermot Murnaghan, Gillian Joseph, Samantha Simmonds and a few others, for the rather dubious award of being the most biased, and obnoxious "presenter" on SkyNews. His "reports" from Brighton yesterday, covering the Labour Party Conference were riddled with snide remarks targeting members of the Labour party, biased and distorted reports of conference speeches (especially John McDonnell's speech) and carefully selected passers by being solicited for their views and comments on conference debates. Whatever the Sky News agenda actually is, Faisal Islam certainly provides a significant contribution of political bias to it.

   The media and television of today, just "spin machines" for government and the "establishment".         At one time, journalism was held to be a noble and honourable profession. Historically, investigative journalists have exposed corruption, criminal actions, scandals, political intrigue and numerous other offences, and have held individuals, corporations and governments accountable for their actions. I have written elsewhere, how when I was a boy, I always wanted to be a newspaper reporter a Fleet Street journalist, (as they were then know), exposing greed and corruption at all levels within our society. However, today, particularly after recent and current events, I would be ashamed to admit to anyone that I worked in or was in any way, associated with journalism. The media today, particularly over recent months, has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for vested interests in business and or a political tool fo...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/labour-mps-send-texts-to-lib-dem-leader-tim-farron-after-deeply-distressing-jeremy-corbyn-victory-10505885.html Labour MPs send texts to Lib Dem leader Tim Farron after 'deeply distressing' Jeremy Corbyn victory(says the Independent) Tim Farron getting excited If this story is true (and we must always treat what we read in the "Independent" as probable lies or inneundo and treat the comments with a degree of contempt), then this is the best and most welcome news that this "newspaper" has published for some time. Rather than have these faceless and nameless MP's (again the Independent uses unnamed and unattributable sources for their own biased agenda), behaving like spoilt brats sulking in the corner muttering threats, better to have them "cross the floor" to join the other bunch of hypocrites in the Liberal Democrats, or better still have them all deselected and thrown ou...

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyns-vow-to-fight-tory-poverty-deniers-undermined-by-symbolic-blunders-10502739.html Jeremy Corbyn remains silent during national anthem at commemoration service Three hypocrites and a rspectful man. The arrogant bastards of the right wing press are getting murdered in the social media where the general consensus of opinion is that Corbyn's "respectful silence during the anthem" is more indicative of someone refusing to be hypocritical, rather than pander to the whims and certain hostility of a biased press. The comments and criticism that they are getting on Facebook, Twitter and other social media  is both accurate and is certainly justified

  http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/if-jeremy-corbyn-ignores-the-rightwing-press-he-will-be-exterminated-10502313.html If Jeremy Corbyn ignores the right-wing press, he will be exterminated (says the Independent's Matthew Norman)   Jeremy Corbyn What conceited bastards the "right wing press" actually are. To assume that they alone have some devine right to smear, lie, distort and generaly discredit anyone they take a dislike to (for whatever reason) and then demand that their "victims" respond to the bilious out pourings is arrogant in the extreme. Thank God for the internet and social media. In the new real world of communication, the "right wing press" are loosing their arguments and their credibility as their dwin dling circulations and readership, is being overwhelmed by the millions of users on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and many others who are burying these media rags and their endless spite. How they must envy the...

  http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/14/labours-angela-eagle-condemns-draconian-trade-union-bill Labour's Angela Eagle condemns 'draconian' trade union bill The Labour Front Bench.   I watched the debate on BBC Parliament channel yesterday (14th September 2015) and heard some very good speeches from the Labour benches both front and back. Alan Johnson (who I have been critical of in the past) made a particularly fine speech likening interventions from the governments benches to comments made by "Teletubbies" and suggesting that crayons and paper for drawing be provided in a room adjacent to the chamber. Angels Eagle's response to government Business Secretary Sajid Javid's unconvincing comments opening the debate, was superb as the front bench team of Jeremy Corbyn's new shadow cabinet ripped into a pathetic government proposal for "Trade Union reform", with vigorous speeches and interventions from the Labo...

Dermot Murnaghan has learned very little from previous gaffes. Dermot Murnaghan Sky News must have been running a crash course in bias and smear for thieir newscasters since Jeremy Corbyn was included on the ballot paper. The latest specimin to crawl out from bhind the scenery in the Sky News studio is Dermot Murnaghan, who after his awful bias and hysteria on his Sunday programme yesterday, returned today to pour bile and aggressive interview techniques on anyone not saying what Murnaghan wanted them to say. Today the target was the composition of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet. Having been thwarted in his "number of women in the cabinet" jibes as the total exceeded 50% , Murnaghan switched his bile to "Ah but none of the women have the top jobs". Even that is wrong, but that did not deter Murnaghan from pressing the point. He used the "top jobs" snipe at least 10 times and must have said "Ah Yes, But" at least as many times. St...

BBC and Sky become more biased and more scurillous by the minute. Jane Secker Victoria Derbyshire  When I went to bed last night, Sky News, BBC News and doubtless many other stations, were bleating on about the lack of women in Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow cabinet. I got up this morning at my usual early time, and those same channels were still hysterically screaming about the lack of women, but now had been joined by the usual suspects in the press. A few hours ago, it was announced that the Shadow cabinet will have over 50% women members. I have just turned off the television in disgust at the scurillous, biased, distorted and hysterically hpocritical reporting which continues on television. Victoria Derbyshire on BBC News Channel and Jane Secker on Sky (and no doubt others) are now hysterically questioning every guest on the programme and shouting out in mock indignation that there may be over 50% but none of the women have the top jobs! (and even that slur ...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3187428/Jeremy-Corbyn-s-links-notorious-Holocaust-denier-revealed.html EXCLUSIVE: Jeremy Corbyn's 'long-standing links' with notorious Holocaust denier and his 'anti-Semitic' organisation revealed   Jake Wallis Simons: A warped "journalist" with a Puerile story. Yet another "Exclusive revelation" from the pages of the Daily Mail. (A "newspaper incidentally, removed from my list of news reference sources, due to its bias, distortions and outrageous disinformation, which make it difficult to give this rag the credit of being anything more than a very second rate children's comic) The Mail joins the rest of the media in a last desperate attempt to smear Corbyn by printing this "story" from Jake Wallis Simons, who's credibility as a journalist may be judged by having a look at his Blog page. A Puerile story from a warped "journalist" reproduced in a fatuo...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyeSS01bnNQ&feature=youtu.be John McTernan v Owen Jones: Jeremy Corbyn's leadership bid Former Labour spinner John McTernan Owen Jones ; Guardian columnist and author., John McTernan, the moronic organiser of the Labour party campaign in Scotland for the last General election says that, " The Labour party was saved by "the right" and it will be "saved by the right" again". The words which sum up the arrogant, self opinionated ignorance of him and people like him who who rubbish and insult anyone and everyone who voices an opinion that does not conform to their warped view of reality. It is this "we are right and everyone must do as we say" demand which has plagued the Labour party for decades and has promoted such disillusionment within the public towards politics and politicians. We may hope that the days of John McTernan and those others who subscribe to negative...

http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/18/theresa-may-pledges-extra-police-patrols-counter-antisemitism-threat   Theresa May pledges extra police patrols to counter antisemitism threat Eric Pickles and Mrs May hold up signs declaring 'Je suis juif' It is a shameful act of duplicitous hypocrisy, when Theresa May and too many other politicians like her, spout pious rhetoric about " the risk to the Jewish community" and the measures to be taken to deal with hate crime. These "political leaders" fall over themselves with acts of appeasement, and yet completely ignore the daily "hate crimes" against Palestinians in the occupied territories and the slaughter of more than 2000 women and children in Gaza during "Operation Protective Edge" in June/July of last year. These politicians and their despicable hypocrisy, deserve nothing but contempt.

The governments of the west, preparing us for what is becoming an inevitable clash of civilisations. The governments in the West, particularly those of France, the United kingdom and the United States, are out of control and the media and television, so eager to absorb the latest round of “updates” emanating from the government propaganda machine, vie with each other to produce the most sensational or vivid headlines for the next edition or the next news broadcast on their channel. In this respect, the media have done a first class job in persuading vast sections of the people, that the “threat” of Islamic extremism is so severe so as to warrant even more restrictions on individual civil liberties and to justify the proposition that government agencies, should without any checks, controls or balances, be able to monitor all forms of communications between people, by fax, e-mail, Skype links, telephone or any other means. In addition to this, government agencies are forc...

However, why should he be forced to apologise or even resign for a remark which is demonstrably true and echo's what many people believe to be the hypocrisy of western values when discussing the question of Palestine. The BBC again demonstrates their corporate bias and hypocrisy, this time directed at one of their own reporting staff. Clearly the concept of "Freedom of Speech" has been conveniently overlooked and emphasises the point that the BBC and other bodies, cons...

Within hours of the results of the Scottish referendum being announced, David Cameron and Ed Miliband threw the question of further devolution of powers to Scotland, and the timetable for implementation of such changes, into chaos. The much publicised "Vow" to the Scottish people bearing the signatures of Cameron, Miliband and Clegg, was heralded days before the vote as, a solemn undertaking to begin the process of greater devolution of Scottish affairs "the day after" the Referendum vote takes place. At the time, many writers considered that "The Vow" was nothing mo...
