Weapons-grade dickhead Tim Montgomerie has a handy guide for cunts on ‘ingrained BBC biases’. Although most of them seem to be more like ‘areas where the BBC reflects reality’:
Anti-Americanism and hostility towards Israel.
Hostility? To Israel? Why the fuck would anyone be hostile towards Israel? (use of Telegraph link deliberate: even they can’t spin the latest bout of murderous evil as the Palestinians’ fault…)
Support for popular views on climate change.
This one is kinda true – in that popular opinion on climate change is split, whereas scientific opinion (note: engineers and programmers with blogs are not scientists) isn’t, and the BBC doesn’t do enough to highlight the extent to which anti-AGW opinion is considered marginal among people who understand the science. However, I don’t think this is the angle Mr Montgomerie is coming from…
A constant tendency to see issues through urban rather than rural eyes.
The fucking country is fucking urban. 81% of us live in cities or large towns, and 90% live in towns of some description. So of course issues are presented through urban eyes…
The sacking of Sharon Shoesmith despite having done nothing wrong (yeah, ‘damning report’ blah. Her department was clearly no more inept than most private or public sector organisations, based on the conclusions of the report – it’s just that most people get to hide their mild fuckups rather than having them on the front page of the Scum) is an excellent way of discouraging anyone vaguely competent or ambitious from ever working in the public sector.
I mean, fuck – she’s clearly someone who’s talented, has an excellent past record, and – vitally important for any manager – is more loyal to her staff than to the collection of despicable bastards who make up The General Public. And for some unavoidable and minor mistakes (yeah, with serious consequences blah), she’s lost her job with no pay-off. Anyone who thinks that’s the right outcome should be tortured to death by a sadistic Nazi and his brother, whilst a devious witch lies convincingly to the authorities that there’s nothing going on. If they then blame the authorities for their plight instead of the people who were actually responsible for it, then the levels of torturing should be doubled.
I’ve got a post on DK about Mr Green’s travails. It’s slightly more measured than my initial drunken reaction.
Main point:
Executive summary for the hard-of-thinking: if stuff is illegal, then people who do it should be arrested, even if they’re people who you like. If people who you don’t think should be arrested are arrested as a result, you should campaign against the stuff being illegal, not against those particular people being arrested; and you certainly shouldn’t invent ridiculous lies about the constitution to justify the illegal actions of the people you like.
5cc has a quality piece about the random, made-up lie that the Mumbai terrorists were brown British gentlemen, the tabloids’ insane fixation thereon, and their complete non-denial when it turned out to be bollocks.
Fantastic. So we’ve turned an actual “Pakistan’s secret service does vile murder against Indians, as they’ve done non-stop for the last 50 years; film at 11″ story into a made-up “the darkies will rise up and slaughter us in our beds” story. That’ll surely help with racial tension everywhere…
I was delighted to see Iran’s attempt at making the world’s largest ostrich sandwich, as a distraction from ‘being run by Islamist loonies’ and ‘vying with the Yanks to be the people who start WW3′. So I was distraught to see that they failed.
But Alex Armstrong’s gag on The New Viz, Have I Got News For You, that ‘on the plus side they do still hold the record for hanging homosexuals’ helped temper my distress at the news.
Ridiculous nonce Lionel Wright is apparently so gibberingly mad that, on hearing Mr Armstrong’s gag, he complained to the rozzers that it was, like, well homophobic, like.
Now, I’m no fucking Daily Mail reader, as regular visitors may have noted. But despicable, loathsome, subhuman pieces of excrement like Mr Wright are precisely the kind of bastards that provide equally nasty pieces of work like Richard Littlejohn, et al, with their excuses for the whole ‘hell in a handbasket, you can’t call a nigger a nigger anymore, your nan would be locked up by the PC brigade’ usually-nonsense routine that they thrive upon. Like Julie Bindel, they belong on the ‘these people are fucking well not with us – just cos they’re queer doesn’t stop them being fucking fascists’ side of the spectrum.
It’s unlikely the rozzers will do anything based on Mr Wright’s campaign, which is just as well. But it’s highly likely that his fuckwitted complaint, particularly in the ‘oooh, offence’ Mary-Whitehouse-wet-dream that we’re living in, will have yet another a dampening impact on media people’s perspective on free speech.
Solely on those grounds, if any retarded cavemen with a smaller-than-average number of grandparents are planning to head out queer-bashing at any point, I’d strongly urge them to target Mr Wright; I’ll chip in GBP50 for your defence and copies of Mein Kampf all round if you give it a go…
Oh, and this is also retarded nonsense. Whilst I accept the point that Georgina Baillie’s lifestyle has fuck-all to do with selling Playboy pants to 12-year-olds [*], the suggestion that Brand and Ross, by discussing whether or not Brand had fucked a porn star, were invading her privacy is rampantly ridiculous.
[*] although I did meet the former UK merchandising director for Playboy this week, who told me he’d met Jonathan Ross and thought he was a filthy pervert. Now them’s some credentials…
The Fat Bigot, as spotted by DK, has a Clarksonian rant about cars and driving.
To TFB’s credit, he’s not engaging in any “I’m too inept/lazy to actually look at the conditions around me, and so I got a speeding fine, and so the government are mean” patheticness – but he does go off on a massive silly rant about urban motorway speed limits (which are set to 40 or 50 because that optimises traffic flow, not because of T3h 3vilz…)
However, DK’s presentation of the rant provides a brilliant demonstration of the classic libertoonian fantasy, in which TFB is quoted as describing his car:
I earned the money to buy it. [...plus more which was, like, stolen by the government to waste on schools, hospitals, soldiers, and other awful things - PDF paraphrase]
Which DK concurs with as:
I’ve fucking paid for it
The difference between these two quotes, of course, is that DK’s one is correct and TFB’s is meaningless bollocks. In my ‘not writing pseudonymous shite on the Internet’ job, I get paid a lot of money. The idea that I ‘earn’ it, in a meaningful sense that’s independent of the government and society we have – and hence implicitly that I deserve all of it and that tax is an imposition – is complete and utter rubbish.
(and no, I have never worked in the public sector – that’s not the point at all. If you have a well-paid private sector job in a developed economy, then the spending decisions, regulatory rules, educational priorities and economic policies of current and prior governments still have *far* more impact on the fact that you’re doing well than your own abilities. To believe otherwise is ridiculous, nonsensical hubris…)
A demented Libertoonian speaks:
Republicans, given the kind of power the Democrats are about to accrue, would maybe take away your right to get a completely totally naked chick to grind on your lap in a publicly licensed bar. The Democrats will do their damnedest to take away your right to speak.
Democrat win. Also, who the hell would be able to /speak/ in such a context? I have no desire to support their voodoo multitasking skillz.
This isn’t even funny, it’s pathetic. Either:
a) it’s a lie. Terrorism is irrelevant; it always has been irrelevant; about 1/10,000 the number of people who die annually from smoking may die of it in the UK but really so fucking what; and anyone who’d accept so much as crossing the fucking street to deal with politicians’ gibbering self-important fantasies that it matters is a clueless cuntard; or
b) it’s true. Terrorism is important; the fact that it’s entirely trivial and has never made a blind bit of difference to anyone other than gibbering paranoid morons is irrelevant; the darkies are going to slaughter us all in our beds; and so any government minister who’d tip off said darkies that our brave boys are tracking a Big Scary Terror Gang is a despicable treasonous bastard.
You can’t have it both ways. And even though anyone who didn’t pick a) would be certifiably mad, at least they wouldn’t be as despicably hypocritical as someone who claimed there were options other than a) or b) on offer…
I’m disappointed my sole BNPite reader left, after I offended him by suggesting that some idiot fuckwits were idiot fuckwits.
Nonetheless, encountering these dim bigoted sods on t’Internet has done a great deal to diffuse my personal version of the horrible, vaguely Current Labour-y stereotype that the Decent Working Classes have all kinds of Serious Reasonable Grievances exacerbated by Illegal Immigrants working to Destroy Our Culture for Unfair Wages, rather than being (e.g.) useless thick cunts, compared to whom even Alf Garnet would sooner employ a Paki or a nigger.
Weirdly, successful, clever, well-adjusted people having a good time with nice lives very seldom fill that bill. Doubtless that’s a Bilderberg conspiracy…
Anyway, the Flying Rodent has a good response to this kind of criticism:
What if support for the far right by ordinary people all over Europe owes less to tyrannical multiculturalism than it does to their cretinous desire to blame all of their personal problems on blacks, PC do-gooders, gays, Poles, criminal-loving lawyers, gypsies and Muslims, to name but a few?
I mean, let’s be honest – when we’re talking about far right politicians, we’re talking about people too stupid to drive cars without smashing them into walls and pulverising themselves into mean-spirited goo.
Quite. Rest in pieces, Mr Haider.
