Bristol Bears Today

that's a muppet [or moppet!]

 

BLM means black lives matter more when they are killed by white people.

As that Chief says people like BLM are missing ion action over black violence and murder. As he said the biggest threat to the black community was black people!! comment on the clip "Here in the UK, my perspective is that BLM are just hypocrites who don't give a damn about victims of gang violence" bang on. BLM are hate mongers!!

 

when you think that it was an innocent letter from a white person to a black person who had stated after a family member had suffered at hands of white policing, that it seemed black lives don't matter, as a consoling act in their time of grieving ……
imagine, had that lady had said "All lives matter" …. where would we be today?

 

On a slightly different tangent, did anyone else hear that someone approached Bristol City Council and asked them to debate whether any remaining families associated with Bristols involvement with the slave trade should come out and publicly apologise at the next Council meeting ?
The item was withdrawn from the agenda at the last minute apparently.
Gets more bizarre and relentless week by week.
ITS HISTORY - GET OVER IT !!!!

 

Bristols biggest problem is we have a mayor who from day one took on a biased role toward his own kind! within days had cancelled the extremely popular German market for an extended weekend market of traders mostly from ethnic backgrounds selling cheap "last 2 minutes" goods and pirated label goods. 1000's used to come over the few weeks for decent quality and good food … as opposed to cheap low quality burghers and hotdogs with no taste …. he set his bar in those first few weeks and has not wavered... likely cost us that pay rates £000's.
the problem is the vote to elect him is absolutely poor …. basically the population of Easton in number of votes cast .. we ALL need to vote to get Bristol back to a major modern multi cultural city … red trousers was an angel in comparison!

 

Couldn't agree more a man totally out of depth, has wasted millions and failed to take any responsibility for the law breaking that led to Colston's statue being pulled down, even though Thangam Debbonaire Bristol West labour MP, asked 18 months ago for the statue to be removed.

 

When did this happen? Not disputing it's truth, I just definitely remember the German market being around last Christmas, I went there. Seems a really weird one to me.

 

dont know about last Christmas but certainly the first 1 as posted 2nd year extremely poor as most German regulars had gone elsewhere MAYBE there was more of them last Christmas? the 3rd year.. cant envisage it was anything like 2015 ...jammed packed ..people and stalls!

 

It was there when I was last Christmas? Are you talking about the one in Broadmead?

 

Going back to Saint Gary Lineker, I see today that he has signed a new 5 year deal with the BBC to present MOTD, albeit at a reduced wage.

My first thought was, how come he was kept on but Sue Barker, Matt Dawson and Phil Tuffnel have all been sacrificed at the alter of the modernising BBC.

And then my attention was drawn to Lineker's twitter feed, where admittedly he was getting some stick but it was 50/50 with people supporting him. He attacked the 'haters' and my thought turned to when he is spouting his bile about people he doesn't like, surely that is 'hating' as well?

The good news is at least apart from the premiership cheat fest, I now have another reason not to watch MOTD.

 

think about his woke politics. also sings the BBC game!!!

 

just checked with wife …. apparently it was a shadow of its former self and was in a mix of traders that book differing days throughout the year used to be reserved for the german markettraders ….

 

I just think it's the BBC further elongating it's suicide note, I think his smug face stops a lot of people watching MOTD (it certainly does in my case) he has stated that upon signing his new contract, that he will try to be more careful about his social media output, the BBC were warned almost 2 years ago by Jonathon Agnew that the BBC should curb his political views on social media and further said no other sports pundit would be allowed to get away with it.

Sue Barker, Matt Dawson and Phil Tuffnel have not caused the BBC any such problems but have been moved on for the sake of diversity, the BBC had a chance to do the same with Lineker and refused to do so for some reason.

I noticed also that Zoe Ball's pay cheque went up by a staggering 990k per year, surely she is not that talented? and that the BBC could not have found somebody up and coming/diverse to do the vacuous crap that she churns out?

 

I have to say a big part of me believes that BBC wants to become an independent commercial enterprise,

I think they are constantly trying to provoke the government and the public but wants to able to blame the government for actually making that decision.

 

Nothing boils middle-aged p**s more than someone famous having the sheer check to have an opinion different to the right-wing. Glorious stuff.

 

Nothing boils this persons p**s than someone assuming that somebody cannot be a democrat and not right wing, it's so typical of the left wing (ooops now I have done it) than labelling people that they don't know and railroading democracy.

Lineker is an employee of the BBC, he is entitled to his opinion, but not as he has done in the past use his BBC twitter account to push those opinions and as a far more intelligent person in the form of Jonathon Agnew said, no other sports pundit employed by the BBC would be allowed to get away with it.

For the record I am a democrat, who believes in the rule of the law and that law breaking be investigated without fear or favour, something that sadly has been somewhat overlooked.

 

Mr Lineker in regards wealth, his wealth, he is a right wing capitalist. He as a ultra wealthy man will pay less tax than the general public. He uses companies to service wealth offshore to do so.

 

Exactly the hypocrisy is mind numbing with these white middle class liberal super rich.

Old Cleggie spent years slagging off FaceBook reference their tax dodging and now works for them earning £4.5mil a year.

This a 9 year old episode of the Mark Thomas project, where he spectacularly outs former left wing firebrand Michael Meacher as a super hypocrite, the same bloke who wrote a book claiming that "property was theft" but owned at least 11 properties, socialism my arse.

 

The poster may have been referring to another thread. His post displayed another trait of the left wing, a instant labelling of those who display differing views. I vote Labour but because I do not share the same left wing world view I will be derided even on a forum - A micro. The Left do it in macro - Brexit voters were thick, gammon (middle aged!), racists ...The reality is it is aspects of the left who display stupidity. A reality that saw millions change life times of Labour voting because the party they formerly voted for shows them little respect, or as you mentioned respect for democracy.

 

At the end of the day as far as Brexit is concerned, labour under Corbyn and Mcdonnell openly refused to share platforms with tory remainers, meaning that the remainers were a fractured group not singing from the same hymn sheet.

Corbyn a lifelong leaver almost certainly voted to leave.

The night of the Brexit vote 60% of labour voters expressed their confusion over the labour position on the Brexit vote.

And then for 18 more months under Corbyn his number 1 policy of voting against anything the tories supported and people like Abbott and Lady Nugee openly insulting northern labour voters, meant that labours northern powerhouse had had enough.

Labour have only got themselves to blame for the huge tory majority and to be honest the tories have a built in back stop, allow Scotland it's independence and they will probably remain in power forever and best of all labour will probably support Scottish independence.
