Eight People Killed in Channel Tunnel This Month Alone
threegee replied to threegee's topic in Chat Central
I too am a very regular BBC radio listener on my mobile phone, and generally have News 24 on in the background here too. Nine deaths were mentioned YESTERDAY but only because it was Nigel Farage who pointed them out in interview. On that particular bulletin the BBC mentioned the overnight death and no history. Prior to that I've never heard any mention at all on the BBC, but have seen regular mentions in other media. There does not seem to be much of an overall "master plan" to distort, and the objectivity does vary a lot depending on the individual editor, but there is a culture of not telling the unvarnished truth when the truth doesn't coincide with a left-wing liberal narrative. There is certainly a "master plan" with reference to "man-made climate change" though. Much recent contradictory evidence is being excluded from reporting. I noticed this dance with truth most recently in the lack of reporting of the the race of the Aylesbury rape gang. On the rare occasions when skirting around the facts was becoming farcical the information was introduced in ambiguous terms. It's not as if many BBC people themselves don't recognise this. But, they have excuses: Maybe it wouldn't be "product of the types of people the Corporation employs" if they could bring themselves to place their job adverts in a major circulation newspaper, and not in commercially failing, minority interest, Guardian! But, with the BBC now stacked out from floor to floor with Guardianistas would normal people ever get past the job interview these days? Ever Feel You're Being Patronised? "Ideological Sheepdip†- couldn't have put it better myself! -
Eight People Killed in Channel Tunnel This Month Alone

Not the deaths, they slip by unreported. But the core problem is no longer something that even the Beeb can ignore. And, remember this? (The Guardian - of course) Wonder where the independent clear-thinking Owen Smith is now? In fact just how independent was he before he made these remarks? Something that The Guardian forgot to tell its readers then? But doubtless he's a good Welsh socialist nevertheless, with a position on immigration not in the slightest tainted by international corporatism, or any thought of personal reward? Except... And, where is he today? Well, giving tacit approval to Cameron's butcher welfare bill despite howls of protest from the people who voted him back. The excuse for voting against his constituent's solid wishes: So, party and self first, constituents and country a very poor second. And, when the heat gets too great... https://www.facebook.com/owensmithlabour Any wonder principled Corbyn is way ahead in constituency polls! -
Last night it was a Sudanese, and as ever the EU-bought-and-paid-for BBC is totally silent on the matter! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11770497/Nigel-Farage-Calais-migrant-crisis-a-disaster.html Will they try to cover up the first British casualties too? The official immigration figures - incredible though they may be - are a total fiction. The sad truth is the government hasn't a clue who and what is in the country!

Right click on task bar and select Start Task Manager. Select Process tab and make sure the most CPU hungry tasks are at the TOP by clicking CPU in the title bar. You can then right click on a process that is hogging the machine and kill it. Anything to do with Java is OK but there are things it isn't advisable to kill. Once the machine becomes responsive again, then you can tackle the root problem(s). Mainly you'd do this by removing programs using Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features, but there are more sophisticated ways of tackling start-up problems. Anyway, if you report which processes are gobbling CPU time I will try to help further. The background Java helper can be a pain and I always de-install it. All it does is shave a second or three off the start-up time for Java apps (which I try to avoid anyway), at a cost of memory, CPU time, and boot time. It also gets up to other annoying tricks which I, for one, can live without! I'm not talking about the IE Java helper plug-in, but if you use IE you should probably get rid of that too. http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=762

On Duplicitous Dave: That's pretty much what most senior Tories will tell you in confidence, but only Carswell and Reckless have had the courage to come out with it in public. And, we now know what those absurd HoL attendance fees are really for (play vid). http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6561588/Lord-Sewel-bra-snap-released-as-he-resigns.html

Well, seems I was right: there certainly was an undisclosed 'Plan B', but Tsipras ducked out. Hence the strange (at the time) resignation of Varoufakis. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/11764018/Varoufakis-reveals-cloak-and-dagger-Plan-B-for-Greece-awaits-treason-charges.html What's currently more relevant is what Varoufakis is now saying. That's entirely believable, and I wonder how Duplicitous Dave is going to spin the even larger "surprise" cash call on the UK taxpayer this next time around. This statement is not going to go unnoticed by the French right - who will have a field day! It's worth millions of extra votes to them.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/conservative-mps-expenses/11760523/John-Bercows-172-taxi-ride-vs-walking-Which-one-was-quicker.html I wonder if he has a health club membership, and how much that costs in central London? And... the cost of that "£172" journey to someone not on the public gravy train: Scroll down the Torygraph article for the actual route.

Wow! Jeremy Corbyn now the front runner, and the Highgate and Hampstead champagne socialists are horrified at the prospect! Tell me why you aren't supporting the guy with the beard Tony? Is he simply too left-wing for you? There's one reason I'd be tempted to pay the £3 and vote for Corbyn, and it's not to make Labour completely unelectable, although that's the natural consequence. Unlike the other four Corbyn clearly has some principals. They aren't rational principals, or 21st century principals, or vote-grabbing principals, but, uniquely, he does believe in what he says. And, what he says is that he could vote NO at the referendum, because he thinks it could be in OUR best interest. Right for totally the wrong reasons is nigh enough for pit-work, when all the alternatives represent sickening Blairite post-democratic elitism! Meanwhile... Tony urges Labour voters to get a [brain] transplant - yet another, right for the wrong reasons! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3170460/Don-t-Blair-issues-stark-warning-Labour-old-fashioned-left-wing-policies-lead-defeat.html

What's your solution Tony? "Soak the rich"?

We're talking about a substantial piece of land here then? Well... 45 feet seems to be substantial in London. Got to be for development then? Nope, no planning permission! Full story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11754827/London-garden-sells-for-1.2-million.html Who drives these prices? The grossly overpaid London-centric metropolitan elites do - because they know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

No, the EU is not "a poor mans America", not even in theory! You are talking about the U.S.A., and that's a sovereign power just like the U.K. is. On the other hand the EU is a failing political experiment controlled by non-democratic elites, pretending to be creating nirvana, when in fact they are building a hell! British criminals "retired" to Spain long before the EU, and some will probably do so long after. There's less of them than there are illegals entering the UK in a single day, and they're a dying breed. The went there with their ill-gotten gains for a quiet life, and not to commit crimes - you don't fowl your own back yard! The authorities know exactly who they are and exactly where they are, so mostly they keep their heads down and make an effort to be seen to be good citizens. Essential differences there - get them? Meanwhile, back in the UK, and courtesy of the EU: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2272977/Europes-wanted-16-criminals-list-run-UK.html http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/sep/20/latvian-criminals-supervised-by-email-in-uk-arnis-zalkalns-alice-gross http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/9974183/EU-rules-allow-foreign-killer-to-stay-in-Britain.html http://www.itv.com/news/2014-10-22/murder-victims-mother-we-must-stop-violent-criminals-entering-britain/ Just a small selection of available reports there. And, before you get too carried away worshipping at the Brussels shrine, bear in mind that Comrade Len is now threatening to back the NO campaign. Not because it's the right thing to do for our nation (as it surely IS), but simply to screw Duplicitous Dave. I certainly wouldn't like to embarrass you if the party line swiftly changes. Unite could vote for Britain to leave the EU, Len McCluskey says

...but, if you are a law-abiding non-EU foreign investor, entrepreneur, or potential employer, we are going to make things a whole lot more difficult for you. And, if you come from a non-EU country where this information isn't available, hard luck! Of course you could always do what REAL criminals do and enter illegally, or simply claim that you're an "asylum seeker". And, you'd be spot-on on the last score: you've surely found that "asylum" called Britain in the EU!

http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/how_european_union_aid_is_squandered_on_wasteful_projects All of these projects (and far more) are using OUR TAXES to propagandise and glorify the EU! It's not EU money, it's UK, ring-fenced, overseas aid money being "re-purposed" to promote the great EU political project, at a time when huge welfare cuts are being planned in this country. At least our welfare waste is spent in this country, and mostly makes its way back into the public purse sooner or later - well.. unless it's paid to Eastern Europeans to repatriate to boost their own home-based welfare dependency. No wonder Poles just love the EU, and how seamlessly it taps into UK wealth! The EU: bleeding the UK dry! As far as ordinary Brits are concerned there's absolutely no economic case for being a EU member, the rest is total propaganda!
-
No, it's not the Daily Mail or Express - it's the pro-EU Torygraph that's outraged this time! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/11747506/eu-diplomats-plan-fine-dining-service.html Just wait until struggling Greeks (who are about to see some basic food prices hiked by 10% as part of the latest austerity package) get wind of this.
-
Maybe why voters had the good sense to decisively reject STV, when they weren't offered the fair, and blinding obvious choice, of proper PR. The vintners in Victoria Street, London, could be in for a bumper month!

One again illustrating that if Cast-iron-promise Cameron gives an assurance on anything at all you can be pretty certain that the exact opposite is the case: HoC 2010 ======== Tory Party Election Manifesto ========================= Just Yesterday ============= Today ===== The European Commission has decided to use the EFSM to provide at least the first slug of money to bail out Greece. As we remain part of it we're in for at least £850M. This, of course, is only a first payment! Where will the money for this latest "surprise" demand come from? Well.. I can only tell you where it won't come from: absolutely none of it will come from the international business and political elites who benefit massively from their seats on the EU gravy train. https://twitter.com/BBCChrisMorris/status/621261291110465536 I think what John Redwood really means is that you can't trust his party leader! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I invite our Mr Lavery to contribute his views on this. I think he owes his electorate a full explanation of how he stands on matters EU. Silence would strongly indicate that he's being complicit with those in the Westminster bubble. Surely he doesn't want to be seen in the same camp as Duplicitous Dave?!

This one is beyond ordinary politics now. We're into the realms of traditional Teutonic hubris! Remember that they've already installed a puppet government in Italy, and this is clearly intended to set a vivid example to any Eurozone country that is even dreaming of stepping out of line. There's one way in the EU, and it's the German way! Now, let's suppose that the UK doesn't heed all the warnings from all the diverse groups that are urging us to vote NO in the referendum, often for quite different reasons. Let's suppose that Cameron - backed by the Brussels propaganda machine, and international capital - does a Harold Wilson and cons enough wet-behind-the-ears Brits into voting YES. Suppose another Gordon Brown type incompetent precipitates yet another Sterling crisis. Does anyone imagine for one second that we'd get any better treatment then than the Greeks are getting today? We'd be told that our only salvation was to capitulate to the almighty Eurozone, and history would be rewritten to portray our sticking with the pound as a massive strategic error. EU solidarity only works one way; as long as we are a massive contributor we'll continue to be exploited, but should our economy falter again the price of any EU assistance will be total! And, cast your mind just a tiny bit further into the future, to the time Herr Junker gets the EU military he's demanding. Do you suppose the Eurocrats, who now treat the Greek people with such "pure vindictiveness", will hesitate to use it to bring a vassal EU region into line? The referendum is probably the only chance we've got of getting off this slippery slope. Cameron will try to portray the status quo as the safe option. But, that will be another one of his fear and uncertainty plays - just like he exploited fear of the SNP to get elected. As this latest crisis proves, there simply is no status quo - it's Germany's way or no way!

That's electorally unacceptable for Merkel. Things like ability to pay don't enter into the dream world of the EU. No, far better to throw countless more billions away than reveal the huge scale of the current loss to voters.
-
Actually, you've already got the best and most pragmatic leader in Harriet Harman. To throw her out would be excessively dumb. The Tories are rooting for Corbyn, and electing him will make their day! Liz Kendal will be the biggest vote-getter for Labour, but that would help Ukip a lot too! Guess you are all set to do the wrong thing again: the inadequate, nonsense-talking, Burnham.
-
Well.. it appears he didn't listen. The result isn't going to be pretty, and ultimately far worse than a clean drop-out from the Euro. From current reports he seems to have done entirely the opposite of his referendum mandate. I suppose it was far too much to expect clarity of thought from a can-have-it-all-ways leftie! Will the deal hold together? Will the Greek people swallow it? Probably NO on both counts. The certainties: Tsipras is gone in no time as his coalition (and likely own party) self-destructs. Merkel will be gone with time too; that's if the deal holds up, and German voters get the chance to see what she has let them in for. The irony being that Greek civil unrest might rescue Merkel from her own cupidity.

Labour does have a real threat to Cameron (but not necessarily to his party)!

China is really amusing: here we have a "communist" government desperately trying to save a nation of budding little capitalists from the direct consequences of their own actions! Paradoxical? Not really; that's the way "the left" always operates. It's a total failure to appreciate that removing "moral imperative" may be good for a few votes, but it teaches people all the wrong lessons about markets, so ultimately impoverishes. We don't need to look very far from here - to the nation of "more free stuff" - to see the consequences of this panning out.
-
Excuse, but I didn't say we were only hearing one side of the story. What I said was that we are only - as always - hearing what the EU wants us to hear. These things are by no means equivalent. Firstly, there aren't two sides of the story; there are several sides. Secondly, virtually none of the principals is particularly forthcoming with what they truly believe. Most of it is smoke and mirrors, and the media is cheerfully regurgitating it through a EU filter. Just like the post-democratic EU delivers an illusion of being democratic, it also sets careful limits on the range of though. It's the same sort of group think that pops up in other aspects of modern life, and has an Orwellian aspect to it. The true outpouring of feelings is yet to come, and it won't be pretty. The EU myth of harmony, cooperation, "peace-in-our-time", etc. is going to degenerate into an almighty slanging match - one which will touch, and mould the opinions of, generations yet unborn. The simple fact is that the EU is destroying Europe! Any mature, historically-aware, rational person who believes in Europe and its peoples can not support the EU. There's no point still pretending that a bit of adjustment here or there is all that is needed. The core concept of the intimate political union of peoples differing so much in their approaches to life - sold to previous generations on a barefaced lie - is fundamentally rotten!
-
He has, of course, already decided to do this, and that it's the only way to save his country. But, doesn't want to be accused of precipitating Grexit when the Germans are lined up to do the job for him. Virtually all we are hearing on the media is what the EU propaganda machine wants us to hear, and total guff! Both sides want Greece out of the EZ - it's just a matter of who gets to shoulder the blame.
