Why do they try to manipualte politics and speculate who might get the top job. Is it because the BBC would be quite happy to see him in No10.<br /><br />What do the Tories in the heartlands and Shires think about this?<br />Are they quite happy to follow the BBC's race and diversity agenda and put Javid in the top job?<br />And of course as is required for every daily news bulletin, they finished off the news with a story on racism in Argentina of all places.<br /><br />But a story that mystified all in our household just before Christmas was the homelessness issue just before Christmas Eve, when the BBC (BBC London News) picked out and interviewed a homeless Black Dutch immigrant called Robert who went on to tell us of his hardships on the streets. But why pick on a Dutch immigrant for a story like this? Would it not have been more beneficial to have picked out one of our own people like one of our many ex-military soldiers who I hear are having a hard time surviving on the streets, having lost everything in their lives.<br /><br />John...

A convenient get out of jail card - but I don’t agree with her poor excuse.

She never, ever deviates from the official EU line. <br /><br />She is always supportive of the EU as an institution. She does her utmost to propagate the idea it is an institution built on law - when we know that Germany for instance can by fiat, and against EU law, declare the EU open to any undocumented migrant who wishes to enter and when we know the French authorities can completely ignore the laws on free movement and free trade in goods, allowing ports to be blockaded, causing chaos in this country. <br /><br />The fact that she can hold these two contradictive ideas, that Alex Cull references, in her head shows how eager she is to obey her EU masters. <br /><br />She never willingly comments on the bizzare behaviour of top EU officials like Juncker, or the amazing lack of ethnic and cultural diversity among its leadership or on the massive corruption throughout the EU...<br /><br />She is an EU lackey.

Ideas are proposed in UN committees that the EU implements. For instance fishery policy set by UN committee, with Norway as chairman, becomes an EU directive, which is 'faxed' to Norway. So who does the 'rule making'.<br />As a sovereign nation we get to sit on these UN committees in our own right and can influence things; as an EU member we had to take what a representative of 'the 28' had negotiated for us, which might not take account of our national interest.<br />More BBC fakery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
