Black Tory MPs blast Labour's racial "stereotypes and low expectations"

Clive "On your knees, bitch" Lewis is a Labour MP, so his extraordinary narrow-mindedness...

This deserves a round of applause...

Unlike yesterday's so-called revolutionary Day of Rage, which deserved this reaction:

Huge congratulations to Shakespeare-quoting Royal Marine Alexander Blackman on the news that he's about to be released

There was nothing - literally nothing - in the Alexander Blackman case to justify the grotesque 10-year sentence handed down to him by a British court for dispatching a Taliban fighter on the battlefield in Afghanistan. As far as I can see, the British government, its minions, and the Army indulged in a sordid vendetta to cover their own sorry arses. Some sort of sanction was evidently required - but a ten-year prison sentence? Ridiculous. Anyway, he'll be out in a couple of weeks, thanks to his splendid "lioness" wife, Claire, the author Freddie Forsyth, who brought this dreadful miscarriage of justice to the attention of Jonathan Goldberg QC (who I want defending me if I ever get into trouble), and everyone else - including those newspapers and fellow marines -  who fought to get the soldier released. Well done, all of them.  I want to make just a few points:

The Spirit of the Blitz is alive, thanks to Phillip Schofield

There were several acts of genuine heroism in and around Westminster on Wednesday, but, obviously...

The BBC asks a question the whole of Britain has been wrestling with...

I'm not sure where I stand on this, to be honest. Sometimes I think it should be...

Immigrant trouble in multiculti Sweden? Move along, please - nothing to see here - it's all good.

Swedish culture being enriched last night:

Apparently, 50 to 60 young men in Rinkeby, a Stockholm suburb with a 75% immigrant...

I'm getting mighty tired of the "don't change your behaviour - that's what the terrorists want" line.

I'm extremely impressed by the way left-wing compassion-mongers always know exactly what Islamic terrorists want. Apparently, "they" want us to secure our borders, instigate rigorous checks on Muslims trying to enter European countries, hunt down would-be or actual jihadists, force Muslims to accept and live by Western values (i.e. tolerance, democracy, and not killing everyone who doesn't agree with you), ban the burqa, cut off the cash supply provided by welfare payments, stop islamist indoctrination in our schools, stop child marriages, punish the systematic sexual abuse of European boys and girls by gangs of rapefugees, and imprison those who condone and carry out female genital mutilation on pre-pubescent girls. Because, you see, if we did all that stuff, it would prove that we're horrible racists, and that would incite the hordes of unemployable, sexually frustrated young Muslim men who hate the West - and whom our governments have invited into our midst - to rise up and destroy the infidel...

866 average British households funded the 5.2m in "aid" paid to develop an Ethiopian "Spice Girls" group

Read it and weep (Daily Telegraph) :

An all-female pop group dubbed Ethiopia’s Spice Girls has received another £5.2 million in British foreign aid despite previous criticism of the funding.

Yegna received the taxpayer money through a contract to develop their 'branded media platform', which includes a radio drama and music.

The revelation comes despite outcry in 2013 when it was revealed the group had been given £4 million via Girl Hub, a UK-funded project...

The Department for International Development (DFID) has given £5.2 million towards building Yegna’s brand through Girl Hub, now re-branded as Girl Effect. It was part of a £16 million package given to the project.

Let's stick with the £5.2m figure. It's not a lot...

The BBC is running a Black and British season? Why did nobody mention this???

October was Black History Month. This month, the BBC is running a Black & British season. Here's Jay Davidson, Assistant Commissioner, BBC Two and BBC Four, explaining what it's all about:

Ah! Poor little Syrian orphans of war - what was advertised, and what actually arrived in the post

Heart-rending, right? What sort of monster could possibly object to Britain taking in poor, vulnerable little mites like these? Not even me!

But when the courier knocked at the door this morning, this is what the package contained:

Mary Seacole deserves her London statue for being a pioneering black female entrepreneur rather than for being a lovely, warm-hearted black pseudo-nurse

I only became aware of the cult of the black Crimean War "nurse" Mary Seacole when some right-wing scribbler ranted about her on the Telegraph website six or seven years ago. Apparently schoolchildren were being taught that this mixed-race Jamaican immigrant was at least as significant in terms of her contribution to nursing British soldiers as that boring old white woman Florence Nightingale, who had basically stolen Nurse Seacole's thunder due to (what else) - racism! I did a trawl online and found that this was indeed the multiculti narrative being peddled for all it was worth by PC "diversity" enthusiasts. Here, for example, is what the BBC was telling children:

Crybaby American football players refusing to stand for the US national anthem need a lesson in true class from Usain Bolt

Ungrateful wretch

The protests started with the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who apparently wants to complain about racial inequality, which has evidently forced him and an enormous number of other black athletes to become unfeasibly rich and famous. I'm sure we all feel their pain and sympathise with how they've suffered under the jackboot of American racism.

The Swedish cop Beck was battling anti-gay "Terrorists for God" on on the BBC last night - guess which religion they represented

I enjoy Beck. The detective show is based on characters created by two communist writers, Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, in a series of ten very readable crime novels published between 1965 and 1975.  Martin Beck, the main character, is a tediously compassionate, achingly decent, somewhat dithery, procedure-following, middle-aged liberal wet, who is far less interesting than his younger assistant, Gunvald Larsson, a tall, super-fit, snazzily-dressed, blue-eyed upper-class cop who has a tendency to menace suspects, cut corners, and beat people up a lot - Larsson is the true hero of the series. In real-life, Larsson would, of course, be a right-winger, but, as this is a Swedish cop show, he's as left-wing as everyone else: in Swedish drama, everybody, apart from criminals, is left-wing. (The same is, of course, true for practically every TV cop drama being shown on TV anywhere right now - the second most right-wing profession in the world, after soldiering, is now seemingly entirely populated by Guardian-reading compassionistas, only with muscles and anger-management issues.)

British Muslims are not in danger of a white racist backlash - and many more black Americans are killed by blacks than by whites. Stop telling racist lies.

According to today's Daily Express item, the hate-preacher - who fought tooth and nail for eight long years to stay in the UK before finally being extradited to Jordan in 2013 - now feels that the West is simply too dangerous for Muslims. he told his 58,000 Twitter followers "Muslims living in the West will lose. Sedition and spread of bloodshed will devour them."

Huh?

What caused the Milwaukee riots - selfish rich people or failed left-wing policies? You decide...

First, there's this resident who thinks blacks are rioting because "the rich people they got all this money, and they not tryin' to give us none" (at 40" in):

Then there's Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke's slightly different take on the problem:

Not all guys named Mo are equal - it's okay to cheer some and fear others

The utterly wonderful Mohammed Sbihi

Yesterday, an acquaintance of mine (a hard-headed businessman, and not - as far as I can tell - in the least left-wing) tweeted the following:

"To all the haters - a young English-born man of Moroccan descent called Mohammed Sbihi won rowing gold as part of our coxless four"

I'm not sure which set of "haters" my chum (a thoroughly likeable and sensible man) was referring to. I'm sure there are people out there who object to someone - anyone - called Mohammed representing Great Britain at the Olympics. For all I know, there might even be some who won't be cheering on Britain's two female heptathletes - both of whom are mixed-race - today. But I suspect they represent the tiny minority of Britons who are outright racists - there are probably fewer of them here than in any other western country (Third World countries, of course, tend to be fantastically racist).

The BBC goes full Peter Simple with one utterly deranged tweet

My first reaction was "What are they smoking at Radio Ulster these days?" My second reaction was...

Every political journalist, right now...

via GIPHY

Meanwhile an intellectually distinguished Conservative Brexiteer spends nine minutes trying to speak truth to a spectacularly stupid, ill-mannered and ill-informed left-wing female CNN "journalist" - or, more accurately, to a biased, bigoted political activist masquerading as a television news journalist who has already decided that all Leave voters are (wait for it)... WAYCISTS!!!!!!!!:

What a shame Sadiq Kahn ran out space to put the word "Islamic" in front of "bigotry and hate"

Ah, this photograph explains the otherwise puzzling omission:

Owen Jones's Sky News meltdown - what happens to lefties when the hierarchy of victimhood means they have to lie

Denial might not be a river in Egypt - but it does seem to run like a river through mainstream Islam. I was watching coverage of the slaughter of 50 gay Orlando nightclubbers on Fox News a little earlier (they were discussing Trump's proposal to halt Muslim immigration, while agreeing that that wouldn't have prevented what happened in Florida) when they cut to one of their unbearably endless station ident sequences. So I switched over to the BBC, where everyone was jolly upset that unofficial Leave campaigners had posted a tweet suggesting that the Orlando outrage could happen here if we stay in the EU (the moral preeners seemed to have forgotten about the Bataclan and Charlie Hebdo attacks, despite no doubt bravely posting jesusiswhatever messages on social media in their immediate aftermath). Then it was time for a live interview with someone in Orlando. I was expecting some sort of reporter update - but no, a Muslim in Muslim garb representing a Muslim organisation appeared on screen. I groaned.
