18 August - My Yahoo! - 2 of 2

6 Telegraph Parliament Shutdown Claim WRONG The Tel’s highly selective interpretation of a ComRes poll - which in turn had asked a highly leading question - was that a majority of voters backed shutting down Parliament if necessary to secure Brexit. But it didn’t.

5 Arron Banks - A Complete Shit The alleged “man who bankrolled Brexit” showed what a complete louse he is with his Greta Thunberg “death Tweet”. Stay classy, Banksy.

4 Jo Swinson Speaks With Forked Tongue The Lib Dem leader didn’t want to talk to Jeremy Corbyn … because, it seems, she had already talked to Bozo The Clown.

3 Brexit Party Presents The Stepford Daughters The latest Brexiteer video nasties came courtesy of Alice and Beatrice Grant. Followed by a torrent of ridicule.

2 Sun Clooney Smear Not An Accident The Super Soaraway Currant Bun linked the Hollywood actor to the Epstein scandal, thus taking the heat of Rupe’s pal Donald Trump and giving a kicking to a long-dead adversary.

1 Kate Hoey Refuses To Delete EU Lie The Brexiteer and still nominally Labour MP posted a made-up quote from one of the founders of the EU. She was told it was made up. She took no action at all.

And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers.

 

Owen Jones Assault - Brexiteer Shame

The far right loves to claim that it is the Rotten Lefties™ who are the real perpetrators of violence. Also, they waste no opportunity to tell the world whenever anyone on the left appears to be less than totally committed to peaceable disagreement. But when campaigner and pundit Owen Jones was assaulted in the early hours of Saturday morning after doing nothing more offensive than celebrating his birthday, that all changed.

Tommy Robinson Panorama - Mail Speculation

The Mail on Sunday has today run a piece about Stephen Yaxley Lennon, who styles himself Tommy Robinson, and the BBC’s intended Panorama programme about his activities, which has yet to be broadcast. However, and here we encounter a significantly sized however, everything the MoS pitches is old news. To be precise, it is six month old news. So why the inmates of the Northcliffe House bunker are running it is unclear.
  “BBC Panorama is investigating Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon. The BBC strongly rejects any accusation that our journalism is ‘faked’ or biased. Any programme we broadcast will adhere to the BBC’s strict editorial guidelines”.  
   ( LOL   https://biasedbbc.org/   From the Aug 17 Open Thread  The anti democratic – biased pro EU BBC continues to run daily episodes of Project Fear in the run up the the UK leaving the EU.)
Further Biased BBCUpdate 1, August 10: I stumbled upon a comment I made on another blog back on September 1st, 2012, which included Humphrys’ interview with Hague, probably at the end of August. I see I was wrong about Humphrys being upset about actual attacks by Israel on Iran; his complaint was that Israel was thinking about attacking Iran

Brexit Leak - Tory Tailspin

The Murdoch Sunday Times has got hold of a most inconvenient report on the prospects for a no-deal Brexit, and splashed it all over today’s front page. Under the headline “Operation Chaos: Whitehall’s secret no-deal plan leaked”, readers are told of problems with food supplies, fuel shortages, delays in obtaining medicines, months of disruption around the Channel ports, and trouble flaring up in Northern Ireland.
This is clearly not in accordance with the wishes of the Tory leadership, and so Michael “Oiky” Gove, minister for disinformation, has been instructed by the central praesidium to rebut these anti-party elements. So the BBC has reported “Mr Gove, who is responsible for no deal preparation, said ‘very significant steps’ had been taken to boost Brexit planning since Boris Johnson became PM”. What, in three weeks? Yeah, right.
Not surprisingly, there has been a sceptical response, made worse when Kwasi Kwarteng went on Sky News to rubbish his own Government’s report. James Felton mused “In case it wasn’t entirely clear how batshit this government now is, here’s a pro-brexit government minister calling his own pro-brexit government’s report ‘scaremongering’ and ‘project fear’”.  There was disquiet among the proletariat. More disinformation was needed.

Our Government cannot even manage to be incompetent effectively
( Sounds like a script for 10 Downing Street - along the lines of Coronation Street. Oh, yes, there is more to the article )
