Double Plus Good

Guido was somewhat surprised to hear high praise coming from his old sparring partner Tom Watson of all people. During the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee last week, Watson was quick to praise this blog and push an argument often put forward here: that diary editors are thieving magpies. The academic expert being grilled, Paul Bradshaw, Lecturer in Journalism, Birmingham City University even agreed:

O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his bearded face. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself.  He loved Big Blogger.

        It’s also foolish and devious, but not brave, to spend public money on having a programme made about the Border Agency without making this very clear from the outset.

          ……Or the Evil Empire of the BBC.

          The Internationalist Left Wing Conspiracies Propagandist in Chief the BBC is now adding “climate change denier” to the usual litany of Left Wing hatred: homophobe, racist, grown up, rationalist, toff, white male, meat eater etc.

          Is the Marxist inspired public service national broadcaster implying that the climate doesn’t change. Ever? The truth is that the Plutocrats themselves are arguing that it does! Making AGW mouth foamers deniers too…..of cooling (which is set to take place).

          Climate change obsessives share the same apocalyptic lunacy as their Marxist funded CND predecessors. They are consumed by a religious passion to save us from ourselves and to control, hector, bully and enforce.

          That’s why the nationalised Evil Empire readily joins in the witch hunts and while most from the emotionally retarded left have an infantile and arrogant world view that includes “saving” a massive planetary system based upon the embryonic and imprecise “science” of meterology.

          The Left share one common purpose – hatred of fellow human beings. 400 million murdered people from Russia to Cuba, from China to Cambodia have died in dreadful circumstances to underline the criminal intent of the so-called “compassionate” Left.

          Time to dismantle the BBC’s Evil Empire.

        And yet idiocy rose from it’s deathbed in 2001/2 and sought to revisit the mummies tomb of economic idiocy. It drove a stake through the heart of prudence and lo, it came to pass, that the UK was once again bestrode with economic idiocy, class-war and the zombie un-dead of Marxist idiocy.

    Thankfully the good ol’ BBC manages to resist plaigerising anything from the blogosphere re (for example) AWG being a busted flush thanks to the leaked CRU(D) e-mails, the Chairman of the Fed, Mad Ben Bernanke, getting up in congress and crimping one off on the coffee table of Browns signature tri-partate system etc etc.

    They will be grateful that the increasingly (anti-Labour-imbecilia) minority remain just that. Meanwhile this government of all the imbeciles remain free to practice their idiot diversion, disingenuity and downright lies while their pliant BBC mouthpiece feeds lies, misinformation and sheer bullshit into folks homes just as surely as they do in North Korea.

    The only differnece being that that here, at least for the present, ‘flat-earther’ knock-backs considered, we’re tolerated purely to give the illusion of free speech.

    But don’t you worry. When there is too much ‘free speech’ for comfort the fuckers will be front and centre, having supressed all independent free speech, with their very own rigged ‘Emmanuel Goldstein’ free speech – Hi MB – to present a Uber-Tin-Foil-Hat facade to keep the suspicious voters on-side.

    Guido

    there is a great dynamic about what happens here. And yes we all should be proud we are in the forefront of ‘news making’ in this country.

    To highlight this, in just a few short minutes on listening to the news this morning, the climate change scam is revealing itself – travel – tax rises for short haul flights because of the perceived damage to the climate. Poor people will only be able to afford trains according to the unelected lord Turner – although how you get to new zealand soley by train, if you can afford it, is questionable!! And water – apparently the SE england is going to get so hot we will run out of water – so taxing water and installing meters is the only answer. Tax, tax, tax!

    Climate Change is the perfect solution for all those rich and power mad idiots who claim the world is theirs because it is creating already a world that is only affordable for them to enjoy – the rest of us will be slaves or dead.

    Time to get the bastards me thinks….

      • 92
        Hugh Janus says:

        I’ve an even better idea – bearing in mind that cheap air travel has probably just about reached its peak and will level off for a few years before starting a slow but purposeful decline, now must surely be the time to concrete over yet more of the once green and pleasant land by building – wait for it – another runway at Heathrow, and possibly one at Stansted or Gatwick. Brilliant idea! Given the inevitable planning delays, they should bear a remarkable resemblance to white elephants by the time the grand openings take place.

        If anything does ever fly from them then they will be aircraft with no CO2 emissions at all, and therefore not requiring the rest of us who don’t fly not to have to suffer cuts or excessive taxation elsewhere.

        The lunatics remain firmly in charge.

        Cornwall to Scotland, I think, but correct me if I am wrong.

        What we are going to see is an attack on the poor from the socialists who believe that they can get away with it because everyone thinks that they defend the poor.

        Carbon tax, transport tax, spending taxes all hit the poor hardest.

        • 107
          Archer Karcher says:

          The Cornwall Scotland return fare is £1002.00p, it is more expensive than a flight around the world.

          The difference between the two? One is a state regulated monopoly supplied service, the other is a free market choice.

      The Ape man commeth says:

      That same Lord was advocating more airport, himself a member of the organisation who claims that air travel is evil, on the Bbc; an organisation who with both a hammering and a drip, drip tactic would force us to believe that air flights affect the climate, and who’s talking heads would usually froth at the mouth with self righteous indignation when ever somebody were to suggest more air travel, as if just one more flight by a ‘sceptic’ would have them see their offspring burn in flames before their eyes, were, (un)surprisingly, docile and compliant with the un elected Lord’s view today.

      Makes me wonder how some of these MSM media folk deal with these contradictions. Maybe there is an element of ‘doublethink’ involved? Or could it be just plain old in-denial? Like: I get taxi’s all the time therefore as I don’t drive any of my cars, ergo: I am not producing any climate changing carbon, and as I need to get flights on important world saving missions bringing truth to the masses the carbon produced is justified by the end result.

      And now we hear we’re secodns from disaster but… no need to stop flying. It doesn’t jell. And if it doesn’t jell, it ain’t jello.

    I am reliably informed by a Security source that McMental is really bored with his daily three mile run and is seriously thinking of taking up Golf.
    He is very excited about Bogeys,Double Bogeys and really mouth watering and mouth filling TRIPLE Bogeys.

      http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8400865.stm

      If that were London Gordon and Dave would be all over the Telly and there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth. But for Iraq it is just another Day since we destabilised the country…No one in London gives a shit.

      All we ever hear is that the world is a better place and the Iraqis are better off since Saddam was destroyed. Is it? Are they? I don’t recall bombs going off every day and killing women and children every day when he was in charge. I just heard that the tortured prisoners and had a corrupt government and that has not changed one iota since he has been gone.

        Archer Karcher says:

        You may not recall it because Saddam would just murder entire villages, without a peep appearing in his media.
        Rather like the compliant and propagandist BBC here, the truth is only the truth when it is theirs, all other news or truth is ignored or denied.

        Saddams phsycho sons used to dispose of political opponents and rival tribal leaders, with the use of woodchipping machines, charming family.

      Airey Belvoir says:

      Their argument sadly won’t collapse. When, after ruinous and pointless restrictions on emissions it becomes clear that there is actually no warming, it will be claimed by the warmist lobby that their actions have avoided disaster. Nobody will be able to prove otherwise, so it’s a win-win for them.

        Nick says:

        It’s like so many of the problems, policies and initiatives New Labour have identified. Publicise a problem (eg childhood obesity). Fabricate scary, scarcely plausible statistics. Fund a fake charity to scream even louder about it. Pass hasty legislation and throw money at the perceived ‘problem’. Finally publish updated statistics showing that the predicted disaster has been averted.

        New Labour has done this repeatedly since 1997. The only difference with global warming is that the deception is a multilateral conspiracy.

          Carbon Dioxide, a harmless gas, that is essential for ALL life on Earth, has been designated as a pollutant by the American EPA.
          Welcome to the post scientific NWO.

          What next, casting sticks to fortell the future, incantations from tribal elders to ward off bad weather, worship to the Sun Gods for good harvests?

          • Cato Street Conspirator says:

            Breathing produces approximately 2.3 pounds (1 kg) of carbon dioxide per day per person. The answer is therefore simple.

    Immigration bosses to get £ 10,000 bonuses after losing track of 40,000 illegal immigrants.
    That’s not bad value for money only 25p each.
    Given the fact that we are supposedly at war I thought the need to keep unwanted people from entering the country would have a higher priority.

    50 days ago, the Prime Minister said that he had only 50 days left in which to save the world. Today’s the day, Gordon! If we all wake up tomorrow, we must assume that either (a) he’s pulled it off (b) the external world that we think we see is an illusion (c) the world has been destroyed but has then been recreated by the dolphins or (d) Gordon is full of crap.

      Here’s a more interesting number: there’s only a maximum of 176 days left of Labour (we all know he’ll hang on until the last possible moment of course).

“Most people want to read nasty things about people, not nice things.”



DisgustedOfMitcham2 says:

Maybe if they really wanted to “decontaminate the Labour brand” with business people, they shouldn’t have totally buggered up the economy?

Just a thought.
