BBC Brexit Bias Reaches the Point of Nausea.

Since the referendum vote, the BBC has pushed an anti-Brexit bias onto all it's news outlets. I'm not the only one to have noticed this: http://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/david-keighleys-bbc-watch-the-beeb-is-on-a-mission-to-destroy-the-brexit-vote/

On the Friday morning of the results, the result hadn't been declared but the result was clear and already the BBC output was reporting the "catastrophic" fall of the pound as confirmation that all that had voted for Brexit were idiots and were going to cause doom, murder and mayhem across the land.

Since then Brexiters have faced a barrage of BBC news journalists trying to force an agenda that first the Brexit camp lied and look.... you said things would be rosy but the pound and FTSE has fallen, hate crimes reported by the BBC have increased dramatically (because BBC news is run as a drama department these days) and basically were pushed, prodded, cajoled and talked over in the most indecent way in order to make them the enemy in the BBC's eyes.

So much for being impartial.

Not only the BBC, CNN had a pop at Daniel Hannan and he didn't like it so fought back: https://heatst.com/uk/british-mep-daniel-hannan-spent-nine-minutes-smacking-down-cnn-journalist/

Especially as the pound climbed back up as we all knew it would, the BBC grudgingly reported it had actually climbed back up "but was expected to fall again quite soon" according to no-one but the BBC.

The FTSE is still climbing and things have moved on. The leadership contests seem not to be bothering the BBC much, mainly because Theresa May (a Remainer) is the bookies favourite to get the Tory leadership job and Jeremy Corbyn is being hailed as a martyr despite a large number of his key labour strongholds telling him they didn't want to remain.

My blood boiled over today when the BBC News took to over-egging the numbers attending the Remain (sore losers) protest in London today, then interviewing two women that basically said that democracy didn't count, some people were shocked at the economic turmoil after the leave vote and basically they were lied to and please could we just forget the whole thing and vote again so remain would be the winning side. The BBC reporter reported there were about forty thousand people there "and possibly several thousand more"... In the cold light of day and as the pictures didn't reflect the wildly exaggerated numbers the BBC reporting has downgraded its numbers to "several thousand" but of course adding "There is no official turn-out figure for this protest" so essentially the BBC made up the original figure it reported.

All of this London-centric Pro-Remain talk just riles the Remainers up even more, because they think everyone thinks like they do and that it's a stitch-up and they are convinced that actually remain won. This is exactly the sort of sentiment that made thousands of leave campaigners take pens into voting booths to make sure that their pencilled crosses couldn't be erased and swapped for a remain vote. They knew it would be a difficult thing to beat the remain vote, they knew it would be tight, but they made sure their vote would be counted. Unlike Remainers who thought the vote would be in the bag and decided not to vote and now complain like bitter children.

Well tough, the point is if you want to make your side of the argument win, you get off your arse and vote for them, especially in such a crucial once-in-a-lifetime vote as in the referendum. There is no re-vote, there is no chance of having another vote in 5 years time. Everyone said it would be a one-shot deal and it was.

I blame schools and their "everybody wins" mentality. Newsflash: in the real world, not everyone does. Some people are losers and so far the whinging seems to come from those parts of society that are unused to losing. Funnily enough, they seem to be the same sort of people that vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

Vote leave got the most votes. Now suck it up England, and stand by this triumph for democracy. Some of the people may have voted Leave for unsavoury reasons, but that doesn't tar the rest of us with the same brush. Some of us more educated people knew there would be a wobble on the stock market, but we calculated it would rebound and still voted to Leave, some of us quite like immigrants, but we consider adding 330,000 people a year to our population too much. We're not racists, we just take a pragmatic view that in order to plan ahead, a government needs FULL control of things like immigration, otherwise they are chasing their tails all the time when it comes to funding public services. Some of us knew £350 million wouldn't be put directly into the NHS, we had done our homework and knew it would be a lot less, but we still voted Leave because we wanted OUR government to have control of how that money was spent.

I hope that the BBC anti-Brexit bias starts to die down over the next week. But I have my doubts.
We need a big news story to take their minds off it, something they can throw dozens of reporters at and turn into some 24-hour rolling drama.

EU Stitch Up

Here we go, already the prime Leave campaigner, Boris Johnson has pulled out of the Conservative leadership  contest.

That leaves Theresa May as the front runner. She of the remain campaign, she that refuses to listen to the will of the people, she with no leadership qualities, she that will lose the Conservative Party the next election.

Let me be quite clear, she is no Margaret Thatcher. She does not have the sort of qualities that can resolve the fractures in her own party, let alone the country.

The Conservative parliamentary Party have made a catastrophic error of judgement with this. Whether the Conservative grass roots are going to be as vocal about this stitch-up as the labour party activists, who knows, but it's this complete rejection of the will of the people that put MPs in Parliament that hopefully will do for the parties in power.

It really now rests with UKIP to pick up the ball and run with the meme that both Labour and Conservative parties are split between those MPs that want to follow the will of their grass roots supporters or those that want to follow the bidding of their masters in the elite.

It's an idea that could gain a lot of traction and grab disenchanted voters from both the right and the left.

Something is happening in UK politics, the people have spoken and the Elite don't like it and are trying their best to keep the lid on it.

Political Brainstorm in progress.

It looks like the EU referendum has triggered a sort of mental breakdown of the political class in the UK.

David Cameron resigned and for some reason, the Tory party are trying to plot against the Boris Johnson juggernaut. That's despite him being the prime Leave candidate, the highest profile figure they have and a sure-fire figure to take things forward, get a decent negotiating team and sort out the mess. I'd wager he'd have the humility to invite Labour Leave campaigners on the negotiating team as well, to avoid the calls of a stitch-up from the left.

In the meantime the Labour party has imploded yet again, with all the shadow cabinet resigning. So loyal.

I'm not sure why, they seem to be planning for a general election where they think they will get elected so they can do all the negotiating. Not sure how that works, given they were in the losing side in the referendum and their heartlands in the North comprehensively stuck two fingers up to what the Labour political elite were telling them to vote.

Then we get the Liberals, that have come up with a spiffing idea to make themselves even more unelectable by promising to go back into the EU. Now given that 52% of the biggest turnout of any vote in history (72%) voted to Leave the EU, I'm not sure how that's an electable strategy.

In fact ignoring the referendum result seems to be a common meme across a number of MPs that don't get how democracy works. Not only Tim Farron, leader of the Lib Dems, but David Lammy was another tweeting that Parliament should reverse the "non-binding" referendum, because some people are regretting vote leave.  But I can understand Mr Lammy's words, because his ward voted to remain, like most of London. But tough shit Lammy, we voted to leave so suck it up and exercise the will of the Majority.

It really is intriguing to watch this implosion of UK politics. Our politicians can't really handle the situation where the majority of the public have rejected their agenda. They have been deluding themselves for so long they have gone into meltdown.

I've been saying it for so long, it's nice to be vindicated. Another question is how politicians that are so out of touch with the will of the people have been able to stay in power for so long? The answer is they've been reliant on low turnouts. Elections are decided on turnouts around 60%. Which means that only 30% of the country voted for the party in power. This makes it very easy for parties with policies that the majority don't want to vote on win elections.

In the meantime, Corbyn is doing that most Socialist of things and sacking people he doesn't like while the others have resigned. I can't think of a situation where 90% of the ministers have resigned and a Party leader hasn't taken the hint.

What he doesn't realise is he may have had a mandate to lead from Labour party activists, but the majority of ordinary people have overwhelmingly rejected him. I'd hate to be him if it ever sinks in that he's so out of touch with the ordinary working man. It'll crush the deluded old codger.

But that's what you get when you live in a bubble of activists and not in the real world, like most politicians.

Bless 'em, they need to get out more....
