mrtickle Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Definitely worth a shot. The line "there's no evidence we're past the peak", as I said yesterday - is an egregious lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disenfranchised Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I sometimes listen to 5 Live on my exceptionally dull weekly 2-3 hour drive to/from London for work. The constant adverts for Gabby's pwopurdee show prompted me to turn the bloody thing off. I barely watch TV but I am slowly beginning to detest the BBC. They make documentary programmes about people who voted for Brexit or support Trump as if they are making a nature documentary about some sort of retarded subspecies. Then you have the show where Stacey Dooley (I would) goes to Greece and wrings her hands over the suffering of the general populace under euAusterity, or goes to Luton and is rather perturbed to find out it has turned into downtown Islamabad. The handwringing news reports about Pegida rallies in Germany (what do you mean you don't want to be culturally enriched by a gang of Algerians pretending to be Syrians molesting your daughters?), or from Calais subliminally imploring us to accept these poor unfortunates into our hearts, the constant low level outrage over austerity (we need some more debt!), the handwringing over the youth who can't be part of the pwopurdee ladder (they need more debt!), documentaries about pay day lenders (its not the debt that's the problem, it's the interest!), the news reports of job losses (must be somebody's "fault")... Then, of course what we then have to endure is disgraced multimillionaire evaders like Gary Barlow standing next to Pudsey Bear imploring us to give whatever we can (****** off Gary). The constant subversive message is that what we need to unquestioningly accept is a bloated debt junkie neo-liberal multicultural politically correct nanny state. The answer to any problem is MORE of that, with Aunty beeb the giant corpulent spider at the centre of the Web waving a conductors baton - drink the kool aid, pay your license fee, never question, never join up the dots. Never acknowledge that what's going on in Greece, Calais, Germany and Luton or the kids who can't afford a 1 bedroom flat, is all caused directly by the very 'debt good, immigrants good, multiculturalism good, globalisation good, tax evasion inevitable' Neoliberal consensus they propagate, or that the low brow support they find so perplexing for Brexit and Pegida & Trump are merely the incoherent beginnings of a populist backlash against it.

Ha ha ! That's excellent, and exceptionally accurate. I don't live in the UK at the present time, but I do listen to the BBC World service extensively as I have to leave home at 5 am to drive to work. Their global service is not different. Last week, for example, they had a 20 minute examination of the Australian government's announcement that anybody who attempted to rock up in Australia on a leaky people smuggler's boat would NEVER be able to enter country, not even 20 years later or even if they happened to marry an Australian later on. "This will be a nice debate", I thought to myself. What do you know, the BBC assembled a panel of three different discussion members, every single one of which declared the no pasaran proposal to be abhorrent, illegal, unworkable and unconscionable. You would have had more diversity in a North Korean Politburo discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nome Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 On 01/11/2016 at 10:16 PM, Tapori said: I guess we should. It would be like a Business analyst saying "Oh, Oil or FTSE100 can only go up!" Or someone advocating high investment return from Lockheed shares as "There are plenty of Wars going on" Definitely should be done, as has been mentioned on here previously the same goes for HUTH... could you imagine any other finance/investment programme with such blatantly made up and overly optimistic figures when it comes to costs, risks and potential returns as you what you see on this joke of a show every single day.

"morality as it relates to hpi" I guess depending on one's sence of fairness and how it defines where you sit on the capitalist vs. socialist scale. - Market forces rule, zero gov't - Slave trade - Lightly regulated markets - Paracitic services (aspects of banking, inssurance) - HPI n BTL rentiers - Cartel privately owned public services (Energy, Water etc.) - NHS - Social Housing - Fully funded wellfair state - Nationalisation of fundamental utilities and services - Regulated Fair Free Markets ...
