Osawatomie Obama...

Osawatomie, Kansas. Could the worm be turning? No. However David Preiser's 'Stop Press' over at Biased BBC writes how at last - at long last - the BBC has actually put up something that doesn't show Barack Obama in a good light. needless to say the arms to Mexico debacle (and subsequent misinformation) plus the eco billions wasted (most given to Democrat donors) and the overall 'corruption goes almost entirely unreported (or cleansed of any mention of you-know-who)...imagine if it were Bush.

Ostara optical offering...

OK, I know it's not Easter but bear with me...in Anglo–Saxon myth Ostara was goddess of the moon, fertility, and spring; she was often depicted with a hare’s head or ears, and with a white hare standing in attendance. Elsewhere it has been suggested that her lights, as goddess of the dawn, were carried by hares. This blogpost is to help draw attention to Magick4Terri, a fundraiser to benefit Terri Windling (Click on image for Terri's "The Symbolism of Rabbits and Hares") and my mate Charlie is doing her bit:

"Magick 4 Terri is a heart warming and magical fundraising initiative organised by the friends and colleagues of editor, artist, and writer Terri Windling in her time of need."

Charlie's painting is of The Triple Hares, an eternal cycle; the circular motif  has an optical illusion: each hare has two ears yet there seems only three ears in total; the "ancient symbol of three hares or rabbits running in a circle and joined by their ears which form a triangle at the centre of the design." [Link] The hare often appears in world mythology and "was believed to have mystical links to the female cycle and to the moon which governed it."

Otiose outrecuidance...

What could they have been thinking by producing are THIS? On January 1st the EU will celebrate the first 10 years of the Euro euro banknotes and coins. Incredibly, the unbelievably inane and sanctimonious sounding soundtrack fails to mention the EU once; Europe is mentioned continuously.



Hat-tip: England Expects via EU Referendum.

Offensive? Obviously OTT? Or only one opinion...

OTT, LOL, FFS! Not one for bandwagon jumping but...On Thursday night the BBC had received 5000 complaints...this morning it was over 21,000. This sounds like an orchestrated witch-hunt which means the Unions and their lefty minions have really got into a hissy fit and are trying to ratchet-up the faux outrage...and were looking increasingly stupid with their calls for sacking and even talk of legal action... luckily even dick-heads like Prentis saw the stupidity and accepted Clarkson's apology. John Prescott said that he knew "Jeremy Clarkson likes winding people up but it's worth pointing out he gets £1m a year from the licence fee/public sector." Nice one John, this made the BBC even more uncomfortable as they have more than a few grossly overpaid from the public purse.

Matt, brilliant, as usual

Jon Trickett, Labour's shadow minister for the Cabinet Office got even more political by not only calling for an apology but saying "And the prime minister should make clear he disassociates himself from the distasteful remarks uttered by one of his friends." Twat! And naturally Ed Miliband get's it so wrong AGAIN: Interestingly, in the Guardian (of all places!) an online poll with the question "Should Jeremy Clarkson apologise for his comment?" I was pleasantly surprised to see the following:

53.3%:  No. Lighten up, it was just funny banter
46.7%: Yes. He crossed the (picket) line

No surprise at the DT, hehe. And, in the same DT (Ows update 3:30pm GMT) James Delingpole NAIL'S IT today: "How the BBC ganged up with the militant Left to attack Jeremy Clarkson".

Oxygen of openness, or opprobrium?...

In 2002, a new think tank Migration Watch UK warned that the UK could expect a net inflow of at least two million non-EU citizens per decade...The Independent, August 6, 2002: "Migration Watch UK is a nasty little outfit, and its duplicitous research should be treated with the gravest suspicion." WRONG! The Guardian, 7 August 2002: "A swamp of muddled thinking". WRONG!

This week, Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migration Watch UK said: "...our figures and predictions have been consistently accurate since our formation, however much they have tried to pretend otherwise."..."It is now abundantly clear that the public do not share the enthusiasm for the mass immigration that has changed parts of the UK beyond recognition and has, in many cases, weakened community cohesion."

"It is shameful that the political system was intimidated for so long by false innuendo from the Left about racism. As a result, three million immigrants were admitted by the previous government between 1997 and 2010 while one million British citizens left the UK."
