Reasons to give up the TV part two

 

The Grooming Gangs and the Main Stream Media

Channel Four failing British girls

There has been a lot of talk on social media since Elon Musk attacked Sir Keir Starmer for failing, as he believes, to prosecute certain people involved in the grooming gangs in Rotherham and other UK towns when he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service. These gangs often consisted of Pakistani taxi drivers who groom then have sex with underage British girls. This is a fact there is no point in beating about the bush. Other British women are beginning to feel unsafe walking British streets, as they get stared at by Muslim men, who follow them, making strange "Tis...Tis...Tis" sound at them, sometimes worse things happen. In many Muslim countries, women at not expected to walk around freely and without a headscarf. This form of intimidation by immigrants from other cultures could be attempts to put British women in their place, so to speak. It always strikes me as galling that immigrants who make their way to the UK because of their failed countries treat the local population with such disrespect.

            While all this controversy is going on, Channel Four airs a documentary about one Pakistani taxi driver who was wrongly convicted, one case out of thousands. Why did they do this? Is this a form of cover-up and protecting the Pakistani community in the face of a culture that is changing the country, turning British towns into mini-Pakistanis? It is time to defund Channel Four, and the BBC as they are doing very little to help British women in the face of such grooming and intimidation. The secular media news, in general, often fail to mention Muslims when they are involved in Terror attacks or grooming gangs; why are they failing to this?

Freezing this Christmas

 Christmas Cart Topping Song banned by the BBC?

 

A Christmas song that satirises Kira Stammer and Rachael Reeves for taking away the fuel allowance from pensioners could top the Charts for Christmas but is getting little or no airplay. The song "Freezing this Christmas" is sung in the style of Elvis Presley and bases on a 70s Christmas song by the pop group Mud, Lonely this Christmas. The song by Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers who have penned an unlikely Christmas hit. Its top of the Apple Music charts and all money raised will go to help the aged.

                However, it appears that the BBC and other main stream media radio networks are not playing it, I wonder why? Could it be that media and political don't like the truth, that many old people may die this year because of Labour's cash grab on pensioners and the Low paid? Remember that lowering the National Insurance contribution threshold from £9,100 to £5000 directly hit the lower paid. Where was that in their manifesto? Anyway before I go off on a rant, lets return to the song. The song quotes Keir Starmer's interview he gave to Good Housekeeping April when he said of one pensioner, "She told me that she doesn't get out of bed till midday because she doesn't want to turn the heating on." How can you say something like that and then take away pensioners heating allowance? What a hypocrite! To hear the song click on the link below, lyrics are below this, + another satirical Christmas song Below that.



Try to imagine a house that’s full of cold,

Try to imagine being 80 years old,

That’s where I’ll be since the cure left me,
I wish tears could heat my home.


What can I do without fuel?
I’ve got no place, no place to go,
It’ll be freezing this Christmas without fuel at home,
It’ll be freezing this Christmas while K-Star is warm.
It’ll be cold, so cold without fuel at home this Christmas.


And she told me that she doesn’t get out of bed till midday,
Because she didn’t want to turn the heating on.
Each time I remember, I’ve paid taxes all my life,
I cry as I wonder: Will I make it?
Will my wife?

I just break down as I look around,
And the only things I see are foreign walls and open doors,
And a freezing OAP.
It’ll be freezing this Christmas while the money goes abroad.
It’ll be freezing this Christmas while Rachel Reeves is a fraud.
It’ll be cold, so cold without fuel at home this Christmas.

We inherited a situation where there was a £22 billion black hole in the public finances. (Reeves speaking).
Do you remember last year when Rishi was here?
We never thought there’d be an end.
And I remember looking at you then,
And I remember thinking that next Christmas things won’t be this bad.
For us, but darling, this year things are even worse.
And we really, we really need warmth.
But two-tier here doesn’t care at all.

It’ll be freezing this Christmas without fuel at home,
It’ll be freezing this Christmas while K-Star is warm.
It’ll be cold, so cold without fuel at home this Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Keir, I hope you can sleep at night.

Reasons to give up the TV part 1

 

The latest BBC venture into

Absolute Trash

Smoggie Queens

Just when you think the BBC cannot go any lower, they make Smoggie Queens, which is supposed to be a comedy series about a group of Alphabet People drag queens in Middlesbrough. Again this is little more than BBC social engineering, another attempt to push the 'Message' as some call it. All the usual tropes are present, the depiction of anyone who stands up for traditional family values as right-wing bigots, the drag queens are downtrodden victims, and that these people who dress in outlandish sexualised clothing, and wear bondage doggie masks are actually quite normal.

Here is the dialogue between a drag queen and some fetish-clad youngsters:

Note the careful manipulation of the TV audience by the scriptwriter and the director.

 CUT TO

EXT.-

Older drag Queen talks to some youngsters 

              Leather-clad fetish youngster:

          Why have you never told us about your son?

 

              Older Drag Queen

          Nobody ever asked.

 

              Leather-clad fetish youngster:

                        Do you see him much?

              

               Older Drag Queen

              (Sad victim-type look as he gazes into the                    distance)

                        Oh, not in a long time; his mum stopped me seeing him                when she found out I did drag.

              Leather-clad fetish youngster:

          How was she allowed to do that?

               Older Drag Queen

          Well, back in the day, dad in a frock didn't have a leg to stand on when it came to custody.

In the world we live in, they would just as sooner come at us with a pitchfork.

So they are so downtrodden that the compulsory funded BBC make an expensive TV series about them? It costs £200,000 per 30 minute episode. Which means they are spending over a million pounds on this rubbish in total.

Let's have another look at how BBC scriptwriters and directors attempt to normalize the abnormal. I can just imagine the script now.


CUT TO:

INT.-

Club scene,

Intense rhythmic rave music, mainly male dancers gyrating to the beat, Leather clad, some in black see-through tops, lots of black leather and policeman's hats, ... with studs.

Directly in front of camera, a normal-looking young man in a white vest with a bottle of wholesome beer in his hand speaks to another man in a leather bondage facemask.

Vest-clad young man with a bottle of beer says in a quaint northern accent

     They've closed tut junction on the A19, nightmare!

 

So normal, so wholesome, that's the message here! They even talk about road works in this sexualised setting.

I make no apology for continuing with CUT, and with 500,000 turning off the BBC in the last year, we say good; let's hope that another 500,000 stop paying the licence fee next year. Go woke, go broke, are you listening, Vatican!

I've not seen this programme, nor do I intend to, and as I do not have a TV or pay the license fee, it's not going to happen. However, I am picking up articles and clips on YouTube, and as this is a good reason for Catholics and other Christians to give up the evil box, I felt I should comment on it.


However, they continue to insist, it's not perverted it's completely normal - "Bacardi and Coke, please"

Stop the assisted killing bill

 Evening All



 

From Arthur O’Shaugnessy’s We are the Music Makers

 We are the music makers,

    And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

    And sitting by desolate streams; —

World-losers and world-forsakers,

    On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

    Of the world for ever, it seems.

 Readers based in the UK will be aware that the question of euthanasia or assisted suicide is once more to be debated in Parliament, this time in a bill (Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill) introduced in the House of Commons by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater (Spen Valley, formerly Batley & Spen) and due for a full debate at second reading on 29th November. This is a perennial question for parliamentary debate that has been introduced in one House or the other at some point in many of the parliaments of the last forty years or so. The difference this time is that a Commons majority is not improbable at second reading, and that the serving Prime Minister supports the Bill, so do make your objection to it known to your own member of Parliament and to Lady Hollins of the Catholic Union without delay.

 Readers in Scotland should contact MSPs concerning the separate bill under consideration at Holyrood, while those in Ireland must ask electoral candidates to oppose any bill arising from the Oireachtas Joint Committee report.

 To the best of my knowledge, the subject was first raised in the House of Lords by the Labour peer – it has only ever been raised by a member of that party although it, unlike the Liberal Democrats, has no official policy to support it, and its previous leaders have opposed it – Ted, Lord Willis who had the distinction of being recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as having been the world’s most prolific writer of scripts for television, most famously as the creator of Dixon of Dock Green which ran for over two decades at a rate of two or three series a year. He also did standalone screenplays and other serials such as Virgin of the Secret Service, Mrs. Thursday and Sergeant Cork, which is to say that he did a great deal to shape popular culture and the attitudes or political positions arising from it. How right the poet was who noted that it is the creative types of this world who are for ever its movers and shakers for the music they make and the dreams they dream shape the views by which the public opinion that drives political action is formed.

 What attitudes were shaped by the viewers of such a productive writer’s output; the programmes of a longstanding Communist who maintained Marxian positions even within the Labour Party after it obliged its members to choose between it and the CPGB, a campaigning atheist and promoter of euthanasia? To ask the question is to receive the answer: the attitudes of all those young enough to have had their world moved and shaken by him and his like.   You have experienced them often enough and you can see for yourself what the results are of the culture he did so much to shape over a writing career of half a century.

 

And therefore to-day is thrilling

With a past day's late fulfilling;

    And the multitudes are enlisted

    In the faith that their fathers resisted,

And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,

    Are bringing to pass, as they may,

In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,

    The dream that was scorned yesterday.

 One of the strange paradoxes of television is that the lurid modern police and crime dramas with their pornographic depictions of sexual activities and glamourised violence are far less problematic philosophically than their ‘cosy’ predecessors of Willis’ heyday in that the events they portray are clear violations of natural law; there is nothing in any way equivocal in the need to condemn serial killers and predatory rapists. On the other hand, the old-fashioned world of Sgt. Dixon was one in which events were far less dramatic, and their morality was rather more a matter of interpretation with the judgement upon them having been reserved to the makers of the relevant legalisation or else to the agent of the state i.e. the policeman. The morality depicted was then a positivist construct rather than an objective absolute measured against a definite and external God-given standard. That sense that right and wrong are essentially made so by human decisions lies at the heart of all the suicide bills not to mention the legislation of sundry other acts such as abortion or homosexual practices contrary to natural or divine law, and it is rooted in the old dream of a world without God, dancing to the tune of the satanic song Non Serviam, I will not serve.

 As St. Thomas notes, in so far as that human laws deflect from the law of nature, and therefore also from serving the common good, they are no laws at all but rather a perversion; so our personal morality must never be shaped by such legislation, instead these unlawful statutes must serve us as a constant reminder that the regime under which we live is one in which the disparity between legality and morality amounts to an active denial of the divine Kingship of Christ (cf Summa I-II:95:2).

 The entertainments we choose for ourselves and for our households shape our mental and moral habits, and those of our children, so if we do not choose wisely at first we might well find ourselves unable to judge with sufficient clarity to choose wisely in future and lay ourselves open to all manner of ungodly ideologies. It is, then, imperative to reject at the outset any thoughtless or habitual practice of imbibing entertainments of unknown provenance fired at us by broadcasters whose motives are equally hidden from us, and to seek safety in what is known to be good. “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline; think on these things” (Phil. iv. 8). “Life and death, blessing and cursing” are set before us, “Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deut. xxx. 19). In all things choose Christ.

Woke mind virus No 4

 

Woke advertising on steroids


Come Christmas, most big advertisers try to outdo each other to gain customers and sell their wares. There is nothing wrong with that, of course, and it shows how important Christmas and Christianity are to society worldwide. However, particularly in the West in recent years some of the biggest stores and brands have chosen to go down the 'inclusive' and even Woke route. These advertising campaigns tend to fail, sometimes spectacularly, as in the Case of Bud Light and the Dylan Mulvarney advert, which almost ruined the company, as their client base, white heterosexual males, rejected it in a big way.

            One would, therefore, expect that because Woke advertising fails, when your product is aimed at conservative white males, ad executives will learn their lesson, especially when in a very competitive market. The product I am referring to today is Jaguar Cars, a luxury brand with a strong motor racing heritage that mostly appeals to reasonably wealthy conservative males.

            The new Jaguar advert is as Woke as it can get; it has a group of androgynous-looking beings dressed in ultra-garish pop art/hout cauture garb who walk through a day-glow set and then sit on an odd-looking pink rock. All the actors in the advert look as miserable as hell. "Live Vivid" was the caption; what the ?#?@? are they talking about? "Copy Nothing," they say, when they copy everyone from Andy Warhol to Jasper Johns and every Pride parade that's ever been.  Oh, and there is no car in the advert!

            As Brits we should be able to take pride in our leading car brand, but this ad just makes you want to be sick. Perhaps pride is an ironic word here. This advert is just Woke and pretentious nonsense, that will probably backfire and do much damage to an already failing car company.

Doctors

The BBC, soaps, and social engineering



It's long been known that mainstream TV channels use soaps for social engineering, East Enders and Coronation Street being prime platforms for socially left producers and scriptwriters to brainwash as many of their viewers as they can get their hands on. They find soaps and drama particularly fertile ground for pushing the "Message" as it's become known by the more based commentators like yours truly. The "Message" is against pretty well everything that Western Christian society stands for.

            The BBC daytime soap Doctors is a prime example; the programme has been running since 2000 and has had over 4,496 episodes. It was filmed at Birmingham Pebble Mill Studios. Since its first appearance, it has proved popular with daytime viewers and has an average audience of 1.6 million. In recent years, this soap opera has been used to promote the "message" and to belittle any one of its characters with traditional family values. One Doctor, for example, is someone who is written into the script as a nasty, horrible bigot for standing up to all the cross-dressing, gender-bending, gay nonsense that happens in and around the practice. The doctor actually seems normal and sensible even though the script puts him down at every possible moment, is it just me with my traditional Christian outlook on everything that I identify with him? Throughout the series, clunky dialogue and poor acting are used in an attempt to put down this hapless doctor, but why is it so popular? Another question comes to mind, is it possible for a Christian, particularly a Catholic with traditional family values and faith, to work in the modern workplace. I have not actually seen an episode of this, but I rely solely on other commentators on the internet, such as Paul Joseph Watson. Here is a link to his commentary: Here: Here We Go Again. Watson is somewhat bombastic but usually talks sense, even if he comes over quite strongly sometimes.

Diversity and the Assisted Suicide Bill


 

The Main Stream Media and Diversity

The mainstream media supports diversity; we have black actresses in leading roles in remakes of Jane Austin period dramas, the Alphabet people are well represented in major soaps on TV, and Islam is, of course, also well represented and treated with respect, of course. However, devout faithful Christians, and especially Catholics, are not. If they are included in a modern production, it is only to show them as nasty bigots. The MSM will never report on the targeting of faithful Christians by groups like Stonewall, who, according to the interim report of the Commission of Inquiry into Discrimination Against Christians. It is ironic that the very religion (Islam) that is likely to attack Stonewall and all it stands for and left alone, does this not strike you as cowardly?  Here is a link to the Catholic Herald article Stonewall and LGBT activists coordinating harassment of UK Christians, report claims - Catholic Herald

 

Assisted Suicide Bill

Catholic virtually standing alone

There is a very dangerous bill being considered in both Ireland and the UK and virtually the same time. This could affect every living soul in the British Isles; like abortion, this must be opposed with all our might.
