I am involved quite extensively in the making of what I believe to be a valuable independent documentary. It is based on George Ponsonby’s excellent book London Calling, and has the working title How the BBC Stole the Referendum. We have already done a few hours filming of my contribution.
The film is being directed by Alan Knight. It still requires some finance, having raised over £12,000 so far from crowd sourcing. If any readers of this blog can make a contribution, it would be gratefully received. I vouch for the good faith and commitment of the production team, though I am not in any sense connected with the management or finances.
I should like to ask for a couple of other bits of help as well. Can anybody find the BBC footage of the appalling Gavin Esler puff piece for the “Vote No Borders” PR campaign. The BBC broadcast it repeatedly on every TV news programme on 2 May 2014, but seem to have managed to erase all trace of it from the internet. It might also be useful if somebody could take a little video footage of the company nameplate of Acanchi Ltd at 24 Chiswell Street, London, EC2Y 4YX. Footage of the nameplate, the street sign and a little of the surroundings, just to visually establish it is in London. The technical quality of that little bit of video is not terrifically important.
UPDATE
See Gill R’s comment below. The company may be at Unit 311 Business Design Centre, 52 Upper Street, London N1 0QH. If anyone can easily get to either address and see what they can film it would still be helpful.
What was I saying about USUKIS and Al Qiada false flags at 05.03 this morning?

That video of the BBC reporter in New York on 9/11 reporting the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 half an hour before the collapse, while the building was still standing and visible behind the reporter on screen, also mysteriously disappeared from BBC files until some viewer who had recorded it released the video.
I wonder if Craig was somehow let know that his blog would only be allowed to continue if he let certain trolls post here. Could similar threats explain the increasingly mysterious moderation behavior?
But when the trolls need Phil to participate in their routine of applauding each other, because he is needed to make up the necessary two participants, he willingly participates.
Then he drops the faux naive act.

Yup, that must be the answer – Craig’s being blackmailed by Mossad, the CIA and the UK secret services.

Those who think I may have been “whining” without justification are invited to look at my posting of 9 Dec. 11:41 PM on the second page of the Carmichael thread, which was subjected to moderation, and the text of which I am even now being prevented from posting again without moderation.

Defending them by squatting on Craig’s blog day and night, d’you mean?
I also suggest an experiment. Let another commenter cut and paste that comment of mine and see if he can cut and paste it in a new posting here without being subjected to moderation.
Interesting to see that Fox News interviewed Phil Heney, a former DHS employee, who claims that his research after 9/11 would have probably prevented the San Bernardino massacre because it would have at least resulted on Farook being placed on no-fly lists, and Malik never getting a visa, but it was shut down by civil rights officials for being unfair to Muslims, and all his research being destroyed!
No wonder the world is filled with terrorism.
“Yup, that must be the answer – Craig’s being blackmailed by Mossad, the CIA and the UK secret services.”
Probably just the UK gang.
And it wouldn’t be blackmail, would it.
Just the usual threats.
Did it to The Guardian, didn’t they.
Craig probably has more readers than The Guardian.

Habby, that’s no trouble at all, them surfacing as wackos as they are. LOL Craig is now an MI5/6 asset!!!
Hell hath no fury like the Eminence or Old Troll taken to task once again for posting egregious nonsense.
Various vapourings above refer.
Bevin, Fwl, thank you for your comments, you are correct of course it was later that British East India company flooded China with opium, produced in India.
The concept however wasn’t a new one, the canny Dutch had already set the tone on opium.
The British would follow the earlier example of the Dutch, who pacified Indonesia with opium, the Dutch East India Company began shipping opium to Java in 1659, and by the middle of the next century, a 100 tons were arriving every year, in the city of Batavia, alone.
The opium addicts and the corrupt officials who collected bribes to allow smuggling, effectively became allies with the British in subverting China.
Opium had a devastating effect on the Chinese military, and on the Chinese intelligensia.
When certain persons call something “egregious nonsense,” I think it’s time to start taking that something seriously.
Just lost a post about Phil Heney’s research for DHS which he claims would have prevented the San Bernardino massacre but it was stopped for being unfair to Muslims, and the findings destroyed!

Alcyone, a rather outlandish observation, from one who believed in a world leader, a leader who couldn’t even form a relationship, some would say that was wacko, as you so crudely put it.
Have lost two posts now about Phil Heney’s claims about his research for DHS which would have prevented the San Bernardino massacre.

I wonder whether that comment of Lysias’s was really so important as to warrant the suggested procedure?
It’s hardly wacko to think that the spooks would be watching Craig.
It’s certainly wacko to think otherwise.
Or just faux naive.

Carmichael leaked that Sturgeon preferred the Tories to New Labour.
Since coming to office in 2910 i.e. 6 years Cameron has completely destroyed 2 countries, Libya and Syria. Blair wrecked 2.5 in 2.5 terms of office Afghanistan, bits of Pakistan and Iraq.
So Cameron/Obama have doubled the speed of destruction of Blair/Bush ‘s record.
The leak was obvious slander and Carmichael has not apologised. Nobody is epecting an apology from Blair, Bush, Obama or Cameron. They are doing the zionists bidding and increasing productivity of annihilation of the Muslim world. Obama has aleady declared the Pacific Muslim nations in his sights and destroyed 2 Malaysian planes.
Craig was just pointing out what everyone knows except the victims of USUKIS aggression who are in too much pain and anger to see the terror clearly, like the Irish, and others, that Carmichael is in the loop of USUKIS state terror.
We are not talking about Nazi terror, we are talking about today’s Nazis USUKIS, the zionist war on Islam.
Off topic, off with your heads, easy.
The topic is the neocons, today’s neocons, not the events of yesteryear.
Both habby and alcyone have been banned before, and we know how difficult it is to get banned from here.
Their behaviour was exceedingly egregious and quite disgusting.
Now back to their old tricks again.
There’s no satisfactory explanation for their continued presence here, other than they’ve availed themselves of tribal pressure.

If your second “wacko” means this, from Lysias:
“I wonder if Craig was somehow let know that his blog would only be allowed to continue if he let certain trolls post here. Could similar threats explain the increasingly mysterious moderation behavior?”
then you are using the right word.
At last.
I was rather saddened to hear about the death of Ian Bell, at 59 years of age. Bell a Herald newspaper columnist won the Orwell prize for political journalism in 1997.
I didn’t always agree with Bell’s point of view, but his column was never boring, and often laced with witticisms and sarcasm.
When Hasbara trolls call something “egregious nonsense,” I think it’s time to start taking that something seriously.
Well, my cutting and pasting on the third page of the Carmichael thread has now been taken out of moderation. So I will now cut and paste the contents of my original posting here. I don’t know if it is going to be put on moderation here, but, if it is, it will hopefully be taken out of it before too long, so that people will have a chance to judge the reasonableness of its having been put on moderation in the first place. Here goes:
“The leak was obvious slander and Carmichael has not apologised.”
First there is no slander law in Scotland.
Second the memo wasn’t written by Carmichael it was written by a junior civil servant who has been cleared of all wrong doing. Leaking it would not constitute slander or indeed libel.
Third Carmichael did apologise in a letter to Nicola Sturgeon..

Trolls and the devil always lie. If they’d a done that, they certainly wouldn’t have chosen you.
