    Moaners hour (formerly known as womens hour) ran a piece promoting the wearing of the Jilbab (veil). No opposing voice was allowed.
    No explanation of how this is not a part of Islam was given, although liberal use of the meaningless bully word ‘Islamofauxbia’ was allowed.

    There was no explanation of the Wahabist interpretation of Islam which prescribes this garment, and that women should not be allowed out on their own without a chaperone, nor allowed to drive.

    There was no mention of the biggest driver for the bans in Europe, that of women being forced to wear it against their will by oppressive men.

    No mention of crimes carried out while wearing this bag, to inflict horrific acid attacks, or acts of terrorism (Which according to the BBC have nothing what so ever to do with Islam!)

    No mention of restriction of vision while driving which should probably lead to a Police stop, but won’t because they’re scared to death of being accused of ‘waycism’ even though they can’t even tell the race of the person under the bag.

    All considered it was a disgraceful example of the BBC promoting the interests of the top of the hierarchy of isms Pakistani Muslim Men, yet again.

      I listened to the wimmin for a bit this morning. If I’d heard the barmy burkha stuff I would have exploded. Listened to the women in Parliament bit where they were saying how oppressed wimmin are and never mentioned Mrs Thatch at all. Then hard questioning of the Tory woman MP whilst the Lab got a free ride. The BBC are despicably biased, left wing and hate this country. Shut them down now.

        According to Radio Devon this morning, David Cameron is having a cabinet reshuffle and ‘at least 13 MEN are leaving their posts’. It was the emphasis on the word ‘men’ (iPlayer at 6.31 a.m. if you wish to hear the ‘glee’) that made me look up, presumably that will be 13 more of us ‘wimmin’. Sorry.

          As a massive fan of Lady T, I am the last person to be anti-women. But when Cameron fires all the “hideously white, middle-aged men” he does NOT win all the female votes in Britain, because we know he is being discriminatory, and certainly prioritising how someone looks over how they perform. As Labour found out, but can never admit, putting a face into the top job and back-filling their support teams with capable people (read white men), is a recipe for divisiveness and eventual loss of power. I can only hope that UKIP is the beneficiary of this foolishness

            Agree. I often wonder if the female and ethnic people in prominent positions in Government and the media (especially you know who) ever privately wonder if they are there because of talent or because they just tick one or both of the boxes. In the case of the media it is very telling that as soon as their looks go so do they.

            What surprised me this morning was the word ‘men’ – normally it would be some other collective such as ‘cabinet members’, ‘ministers’, or just ‘people’. It’s getting blatant, will this lunacy ever end.

                The trouble is as half of the voting public are women , they want more representation in Parliament & the cabinet ,& this includes Conservative voters. Personally I can`t see the problem in having a few good looking female Tory cabinet ministers. The alternative which none of us are going to like , but may happen , is 5 years of Tyranny under the Millipeed & his evil Henchwoman ,Harperson, who will make the lives of English , White Hetrosexual males bloody unbearable . Be very afraid if this happens .

    Better the first on the new thread than the last on the old!

    The BBC has yet to report this:
    Damage from Gaza rocket cuts power to 70,000 in strip

    The Israeli power company has agreed to fix the damage but will not endanger its workers. The shooting has to stop first.

    KHARMA!

    If the BBC gets to reporting this who is betting they will omit that Palestinian Authority has an outstanding bill of $1.5 billion to the Israel Electric Company NIS for electricity to Gaza. Many in Israel are asking why it is still supplying Gaza with power and water.

        While I would agree, Mat, that the rave scene cannot solely be attributed to politics, I wouldn’t say the countercultural movement was completely apolitical. As someone who enjoyed the music, women and drugs of the rave scene I met many people who were reacting against both Tory and Labour government policies; well, it was more politics and society in general… a healthy youthful rejection of traditional ways of living . Just like political and social upheaval accompanied the scene in the sixties, I would say that political thought/activism did have a part (however big or small) of the rave scene. But, yes, getting hammered and going to your local drum ‘n’ bass gathering was the priority for most.

      Anti-Thatcherism is much too broad a stroke but the scene was certainly highly politicised in the aftermath of the 1994 Criminal Justice & Public Order Act. Sure, the average rave goer was there to have a good time but a lot of the peace & love sentiment so prevalent in its growth gave way to anger and protest in later days.

    They do say that Gaza is a very over crowded place and it’s all the fault of Israel of course for cramming them all in to such a small area.

    Then Mr Bowen our BBC reporter from the strip tells us how Mohammed is fearful for his children and grandchildren, he has nine children and over 100 grandchildren says Bowen with such concern.

    It might perhaps be better to drop condoms on them from a great height rather than ordinance?

        Bowen would not dare broadcast any criticism of Hamas from people in the Gaza street. It would be their death warrant – and could be his while he is there.

        There seem to be several BBC “reporters” in Gaza at present. How come they have not taken any film of Hamas terrorist rocket tunnels and sites within civilian areas ? Just the usual BBC veil overv the truth? – like their constant veil over the sheer filth shown on Palestinian TV ?

            It was reckoned to be there in 2009 ? – or earlier – with a huge warren of tunnels under and around the hospital. The BBC knows that. But thinking that Bowen et al would chase any current evidence on that story is like believing in the tooth fairy.

            Simir sites might well be found if the IDF go imto northern Gaza, as looks fairly likely now. I hope the IDF takes lots of film, and has embedded reporters. (But I somehow doubt if they would want any BBC embed).

            When is HMG going to threaten to cut off any UK funding for the Palestinians pending Hamas ceasing their rocket attacks ? Again, that issue is not part of the BBC agenda.

        It would never occur to Bowen to say anything that may explain Israel’s actions. He hates the Jewish State so much.. There may have been an added trigger as to why he is so vehemently against Israel – the death in front of his eyes of a journalist friend by a stray bullet during the conflict but whatever the reason his hatred of the Jewish state is shown time and time again in his commentaries.
        The most revealing example is below. He read out in detail an extremely anti Semitic extract from the notoriously anti Semitic newspaper the Lebenese Star that compared Israeli treatment of Arab Palestinians with that of the treatment of Jews in the concentration camps. It was his tone of voice that clearly showed he endorsed what the newspaper was saying against the Jewish State. See last section at :

    Dial M for Murder was on ITV3 the other night, although I’ve seen it a dozen times I watched it again, it was so refreshing because it was free of diversity, multicultural propaganda, effniks, rap music, etc etc, it was practically utopia. During the commercial break I switched over to BBC 3, big mistake, I was confronted by a depressing Ken Loach type kitchen sink drama ” Murdered by my boyfriend ” with a cast of teenage effniks, doing what teenage effniks do, shouting and screaming. After watching this for 30 seconds I immediately went into a tailspin of depression, I quickly changed channels and went back to watching Ray Milland and Grace Kelly.

      A drama aimed at BBC3’s target age group, taking a real-life domestic abuse case that ended in a young woman’s murder. A piece of television that will hopefully get young people recognising when their friends are in need of help, and those who are in abusive situations to realise that not getting out of them could have terrible consequences.

      The Daily Mail liked it. But David Brims? He was upset that the actors were black (or, as he likes to say, “effniks”).

      No change there, then: David Brims’ comments, as ever, come at us from his usual racist viewpoint.

        That is what the BBC does best, innit – making ‘dramas’ that give ‘real life stories’, normally focused on the ‘dangers’ of racism or ‘global warming’.

  6. John Anderson says:

    Can I repost this forthright statement by Stephen Harper, PM of Canada – not reported by the BBC:
    “The indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel are terrorist acts, for which there is no justification. It is evident that Hamas is deliberately using human shields to further terror in the region.
    Failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions would encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions. Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict.

    Canada is unequivocally behind Israel. We support its right to defend itself, by itself, against these terror attacks, and urge Hamas to immediately cease their indiscriminate attacks on innocent Israeli civilians.

    Canada reiterates its call for the Palestinian government to disarm Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups operating in Gaza, including the Iranian proxy, Palestinian Islamic Jihad. ”

    As the Powerline website puts it – No call for restraint; no talk about mediation; no lectures about what Israel should or shouldn’t do. Just unequivocal support for our ally and unequivocal condemnation of our enemy.

    Meanwhile we get the usual weaselly words from Obama and the lickspittle Cameron and Hague, equivocating and trying to split the difference between good and evil.

    Netenyahu has sid a couple of times this week that the crucial difference is that Israel invests in protection for its civilians (eg bomb shelters everywhere, the missile defence system Hamas does not defend its civilians (eg no bomb shelters) – it uses the civilians as a human shields, forcing them to go into harm’s way.

    For some time Palestine has been firing hundreds of rockets, indiscriminately into Israel at any target. Israel effectively targets the rocket launching sites of the and hits so called ‘innocent civilians’

          for a few thousand years?

          The Arabs (illegally) invaded and occupied the country beginning in 636 under the command of Khalid ibn al-Walid making the Palestinians uniquely the only indigenous people in existence who can trace their emergence to a definite historical date under a real not mythical leader. They converted most of the people who actually had been there for thousands of years, Jews and Christians who genetically were Jews, by force, ruinous taxation and attrition.

          That said, most Palestinians are not the descendants of the Jews nor of the 7th century Arab invaders (those that come under the 2nd category are very proud of it). They are the result of massive immigration during the late Ottoman period and the British mandate. This accounts for the common family names indicating the original place of residence.

          Quit before your display of ignorance really gets out of hand. The area known as the Holy Land was occupied by Jews, amongst others (including Christians, later) until the Romans kicked them out. There was no significant Arab population until the violent spread of Islam across the Middle East.

          There never was a state known as ‘Palestine’ and there was no such person as a ‘Palestinian’ – that was invented by Yasser Arafat circa 1964.

          And you might ask yourself why there are so many Arab citizens living in Israel.

        You will be completely shocked I assure you, if you do some research into a man by the name of Haj Al Amin Husseini the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem from 1922 – 37

        He was a great supporter of the Nazis and even met Hitler. His part in the Arab revolt which was intended to weaken British power in the region led to his removal from office.

        It didn’t stop him though, he carried on agitating and working on behalf of the Nazis, and was described as ‘an architect of the Holocaust’. If it hadn’t been for the French deciding he was a Political Prisoner he would have been sent for trial in the UK or Yugoslavia where his actions led directly to the Balkan war (funny how the BBC was so reluctant to tell you about his involvement).

        If you really want to know about the Israeli Palestinian conflict, start with this man.

        He was succeeded by Hussam al-Din Jarallah who lasted until 1954. If only he had been appointed Grand Mufti by the British things might have turned out differently.

        Husseini did not dies until 1974 when he was given a heros funeral and lived plenty long enough to influence another of his successors, one Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa
        better known perhaps as Yasser Arafat, born in 1929.

        Sadly the Nazi ties have never left the region and it with deep unease I see Fascists from the Labour party travelling to Palestinian regions to shake hands with men who are direct descendants and successors of an architect of the holocaust and whose supporters still give Nazi salutes to.

        Another you might want to research is one Achmed Huber another Nazi supporter and fund raiser to the Taleban.

            Well Aerfen perhaps you’d like to explain to us all why it is that the BBC has refused to publish the Balen report into allegations of its anti Zionism, if not anti Semitism.

            Or why it is that it has spent over £300000 defending its position not to publish?

            There can be only one reason, and that is because the report is critical of the BBC over its coverage of the Middle East.

            It’s said that those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.

            Do you never wonder about the number of Jews who supported Adolf Hitler & his Nazis?

            As for Johnny the Fishes crazy comments, have you never heard of ‘British Mandated Palestine?’ It existed before Arafat gained power !

              Thoughtful, Very few Jews supported Adolf Hitler. Arguably only 36% of the general German people supported the Nazis and there is no evidence that anywhere near 36% of the Jews or anything close were part of this group. Unfortunately the majority opposition was divided and as hostile to each other as they were to the Nazis.

              Also there was the feeling that it was all rhetoric for electioneering and would not go beyond that. How wrong they were.

              There is very little doubt that whatever they thought about Hitler the Jews would have loyally fought in Germany’s armies in WWII, as they did in WWI, if they had been allowed. Much good it did them, Jews were completely loyal to Germany and much of Hitler’s rhetoric about Versailles was at least tacitly endorsed as it was by most Germans across the political spectrum.

            Jews in the organisation make make much of a difference.

            I have never thought of the BBC as Jew Haters or perhaps to be more accurate they haven’t realised that supporting antisemites they are only one degree way from it. If anything the BBC is anti Christian.

            The BBC is quite happy to deal with the Jews occasionally as quaint or innocent victims of the last enemy of Britain the BBC opposed – the Nazis. It’s when the Jews refuse to be victims, which is the heart of Zionism that the BBC gets upset.

            Journalism is a traditional Jewish profession so it is not surprising that Britain’s largest media employer has a group. That said, Jews make up only 0.5% of the British population. Do you have any evidence that make up even that percentage of the 23,000 person BBC workforce? It is true some are quite prominent. Perhaps they are very good at what they do?

            I believe the BBC as an organisation desperately wants to support the Palestinian claim which by definition is anti Zionist, but they are prevented from doing that by law. As to why the Jews in the organisation don’t oppose that I can only speculate that it is a combination of British Jewry’s traditional reluctance to make waves; effective self selection as apart form the Israel issue the majority of BBC public facing employees come from what is normally described as the Left, (Pro Israel lefties have a very hard time of it.) and a not unwarranted view that speaking out on Israel is a fast way to the unemployment line.

              I was referring to ‘prominent’ positions not the workforce as a whole, tea ladies, office staff etc. However given the level of nepotism at the BBC I think this is as, or more likely, to be the explanation than their being “very good at what they do”. There is no reason why they should be the latter! Indeed it is statistically unlikely. However the fact that many British Jews are Londoners probably has helped them get a foothold too.

              You make a reasonable point about the general ‘leftish’ bias, but how about it being more likely that the BBC are simply trying very hard to be neutral and not to offend Muslims rather than being actually ‘anti’ Israel?

    A good little test case of BBC wax and wane re the appointment of establishment schmoozer, grandee and do-gooding Lady Bountiful that is Lizzie Butty-Sloshed!
    The BBC seemed rather taken with her to start with-and certainly loved her haughty insouciance when she stated that the plebs would not be getting her head on a plate.
    But the turn came with her Bertie Wooster of a nephew-Nigel Havers-and his efforts to do a Windrush in going out to bat for his auntie.
    Feedback eviscerated the young gullible sprig whose idea this was…and when Vera Baird( Beaker) wonders about her legal fees and expenses being threatened by Sloss exploding on the launchpad like a Hamas rocket before all those fees and Today appearances come onstream…well the old bird had to fall on her hatpin!
    Farewell Butty…sliding on her greasy bottom to the bottom of the briney.
    Should now be fun to see what establishment lickspittling cove, the Magic Circle of Child Survivors will now permit to “speak for the victims…and f*** the justice crap”.
    I`d have thought that ALL suitable grandees and clapped-out judges were Establishment stooges by now…so my money is on Phil Scholari as I write.
    Comedy Gold-and the BBC played their part!
    Maybe Harris or Glitter might be considered-for surely only an old nonce will have the expertise in these areas….Harman, Hodge and Hewitt clearly knew nothing…

    Radio 4 PM lying again about Malala Yousefzai being shot ‘for the crime of wanting an education’.

    This is a lie!

    She was shot because she criticised the Taleban, who have in a rare policy change gone on the record as to why she was shot.

    The Taleban was opposed to mixed gender education (sound a bit familiar to Birmingham) and were prepared to assassinate teachers who did.

    Malala Yousefzai spoke out against this and was shot for her trouble.

    The problem the BBC have is that the known to be extremist Taleban are not expressing a religious view which is any different to that of the governors involved in the Trojan Horse plot, albeit that they have been able to get rids of non compliant heads rather than killing them.

    When Extremist Muslims are doing the same thing as those ‘peaceful British’ Muslims then there’s no way on Gods green earth that they are going to allow the public to be aware of that comparison.

    So Malala was shot by a groups of extremists who are nothing like the reasonable Muslims here, simply because she wanted an education !

Frankly, they don’t care very much of a dozen or two people die each day in rocket exchanges in a conflict that has carried on for so many years – that is not much higher than thew death rate on a typical Chicago weekend. But the BBC likes to use Gaza as a stick to beat Israel with.

    But wherever there is a silver lining the BBC in the Midlands will find a cloud. After a brief bit of VT showing Osborne in the Black Country, they ask;

    ‘Is there a political dimension to this?’ Cue BBC reporter and local Labour leader…’there’s an election on the way…Osborne made his announcement in a marginal constituency’.

    bBC headlines a story about a black man who was abused whilst in care during the 60s:
    Author Alex Wheatle: ‘Systematic abuse where I grew up’
    The only records of historical child abuse that can be used to prosecute paedophiles lie in the memories of abused children, a victim has said. Author Alex Wheatle said he was abused at a south London children’s home where he lived from 1966 until 1978. There was “systematic” physical, sexual and emotional abuse there, he said. Mr Wheatle, who was appointed MBE in 2008, told the BBC few paper records would exist so victims must be made to feel “confident” to come forward. He said he had addressed issues of abuse in his novels, but now aged 51 he had decided to speak publicly about the abuse he suffered at Shirley Oaks children’s home. “I have spoken about violence before but not the sexual assault,” he said

    Funny thing the bbC which is so quick to smear any Tory with allegation of child abuse doesn’t feel the need to do likewise when the nonce is from the left of the political spectrum. Here is what the bbC doesn’t tell you about the above, but the leftwing Daily Mirror does:
    Award winning author: I was abused at council care home linked to ex-Labour minister
    An award-winning author today reveals that he was abused at a children’s home thought to be linked to a paedophile ring involving an MP in Tony Blair’s government.

    Strange how the bBC which goes after tory MPs when one of its own is in the spotlight:
    Saville
    Hall
    Harris

      Watson’s role in all this is dubious to say the least. It was the Labour smear unit that came up with the false allegations against McAlpine, happily broadcast by the BBC and Watson has been pushing the ‘paedo Tory’ line for ages. Yet no evidence ever appears, its all been conveniently ‘lost’.

      Baring in mind Labour had control of the Home Office from 1997 to 2010 it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they disappeared these files for just this reason – so they could accuse the Tories of a cover up. This is of course despite the fact that even Geoffrey Dickens said he thought the allegations he had brought had been properly investigated and was happy that no further action would be taken. How better to create mistrust than to destroy files which exonerate Tories but which are ‘rumoured’ to discredit them.

      So maybe that’s why Watson is keeping his head down. There are too many holes in his story, not that any journalist is bothering to point this out mind.

      And all in the run up to an election too …

Any enquiry that finds no evidence will be dismissed as a cover up and, considering the current low standard of evidence required during witch hunts any ‘evidence’ found will be used as a political football rather than a quest for justice.

          The people who will suffer most from this are those who really have been abused rather than the far larger number looking for attention/compensation.

    Fresh for his huge ‘victory’ opposing the election of Jean-Claude Juncker a wholly pointless exercise which was a done deal before Scameron took it on, it looks like he is choosing another lost cause to rail against which he knows all his raging will have no effect, but will play to a gallery of anti European sentiments in the UK.

    Unfortunately the people of Britain are pretty thick and can’t see past the veneer of the attack, to the point that Cameron is screaming at the wind.

    So it looks like he’s going to oppose the Human Rights Act. Not in a meaningful way which would see us pulling out, but in a way which puts the UK into conflict with it, meaning he can scream and shout and make deeply ’emotional’ speeches about the UK in Europe, while all the time knowing that he will have no effect what so ever.

    Eventually he will concede that he has to comply with the EU diktats, but that he strove manfully against the oppression !

      I wonder how many readers are aware of the Pankhursts real political views and their background? Something the Fascists have constantly chosen to cover up and not speak about while creating their heroine champion of Diversity and Wimmins right.

      It is true that the Suffragettes campaigned for votes for women, however what is omitted is that it is not a campaign for all of them to have the vote, only those who qualified by possession of land / property deemed large enough.

      Pankhurst born in 1858 was 26 when the 3rd electoral reform act was brought in, in 1884.

      This act took away the exclusivity of the property owning males to vote, and widened the electorate to include all eligible males. This incensed Pankhurst who thought that rather than allowing the poor to vote, the act should have included property owning women, and the spouses of men who owned property. She did not want working class men to have a vote at all !

      Now we see that the TEA party in America is putting forward property ownership as a good basis for a right to vote. Diametrically opposed to the Fascists who champion Pankhurst, who ironically is more closely allied with their political enemies.

        What’s wrong with living in Bath? Better than your assisted living accommodation surely?

        They work on the entitlement theory of wealth i.e. that social justice [fanfare] requires them to take money earned by somebody else and give it to themselves – as a reward for their [fanfare] social conscience.

        In the case of the Jew hating (“If there has been a rise [anti-semitism]…it is perfectly understandable because Israel feeds feelings of anti-semitism.”) egalitarian Ken Loach, he [cut to a picture of Stalin] has his principles, and so does not let a little thing like the poverty, misery, and oppression which Socialism has caused across the world trouble his “social conscience” – which is a funny sort of conscience isn’t it.

    BBC 3 (the one that’s aimed at young people) 7pm yesterday:

    Hotel of Mum and Dad

    ‘Swansea couple Rob and Jon, who have been together for four years, sample life away from Rob’s doting mother because Jon is desperate to move out.’

    Yes, that’s right, Rob and Jon are both guys. Maybe these lads like their rugger or maybe they don’t – but it is a case of how pink is my valley. Have to admire the euphemism ‘been together for four years’.

    Was a little surprised by this phrasing : ‘mummy’s boy Rob’

    Steady on BBC, let’s not stereotype.

    ‘how will this pampered chap cope without his doting mum?’

    Careful, now.

    On Today this morning, the BBC’s Middle East editor speaking from Gaza denounced Israel’s acceptance of the Egyptian truce proposals as another Jewish plot to swindle Hamas out of its birthright to wipe out israel. Well, Bowen wasn’t as frank as that but his commentary boiled down to justifying the Hamas refusal to accept the proposals and damning the Israeli acceptance as part of a devious Israeli plan to deny its guilt concerning the death of innocent Gazans.
    Really, why does the BBC persist in employing this ignoramus? His efforts during the start of the “Arab Spring” in Cairo were pathetic. As I wrote at the time, his analysis of the then situation was embarrassing in its shallowness. This time, I simply don’t believe that his Hamas minders would allow him (even if he wanted to – which is a different matter altogether) to file a disinterested analysis let alone one which might conclude that Israel isn’t the 100% villain here.

    • John Anderson says:

      Latest news is that rockets are still being fired from Gaza into Israel.

      Some members of the Israeli cabinet were reported to be opposed to the Egyptian truce. But they may have expected Hamas to refuse to comply.

      Since Israel withdrew from Gaza the pattern has been that Hams etc have attcked Israel with rockets and other means, eventually there has been a strong Israeli response aimed at weakening Hamas capacity, then a ceasefire – then Hamas starts rebuilding its rocket arsenal and starts more rockets. Each time the rocket arsenal has grown larger.

      This time there were an estimated 10,000 rockets in Gaza. What is clearly needed is a major land offensive to hunt down the tunnels and rocket stores, to really weaken Hamas. Hamas itself is now much weaker financially, especially because the Egyptians have cracked down on the tunnels which yielded lots of “tax”, and the Arab world is distracted to other far worse problems.. This is perhaps which is why it was forced into a deal with Fatah.

      Public opinion in Israel is probably much more united in Israel than before, partly because the Hamas rockets now threaten most of the country. There is not such strong overseas attacks on Israeli policy as have happened before the Middle East collapsed into general chaos.

      Clearly Israel was poised to move into northern Gaza. My guess is that this could still happen, because Hamas will not observe the proposed ceasefire. Moving into one zone would carry less risk than an overall offensive – and it could let Israel display the huge amount of rockets and tunnels – and their location.

      Moral disapproval from the likes of Bowen and the BBC can go hang.

      Israel accepts Egypt proposal to end Gaza conflict

      Almost sounds like a favourable headline.

      I wonder when the BBC will note that Hamas not only rejected the proposal but heavily rocketed Israel after they did so?

      Hamas, which controls Gaza, is still discussing the plan, but its armed wing has rejected it as a “surrender”. Will the BBC suggest the supposed political wing had nothing to do with the decision to resume hostilities? Perhaps, it’s only Hamas trying to get in as many shots as they can before the ceasefire takes effect?

      ”seven teenage girls whose lives are changed forever !!”

      Hyperbole.

      ”when they arrive at school one day to be told that one of their friends – and her asylum seeking family – have been forcibly taken from their home to be deported !!! ”

      No one get’s deported from this country, muslim jihadist terrorists don’t get deported for God’s sake.

      ”After the initial shock of this news has worn off, these feisty girls.”

      Another word for fiesty is chippy, uppity and aggressive.

      ”feisty young women are galvanised to take a stand and to fight for the life of their friend, her family, and, ultimately for the rights of all children of asylum-seekers in Scotland. They take on the Scottish Government and the Home Office and succeed !!!!”

      More garbage, the Scottish and UK government are all for flooding the country with mass immigration.

      ” The girls succeed where adults and politicians have failed !!!! ”

      I don’t buy that, children can’t organise things, they were probably helped by their parents and I suspect the Pro Immigration Industrial Complex, social workers, human rights lawyers, Liebour, Liberals UAF, SWP, Hope not Hate, etc etc.

    Why this country is never going to be able to successfully counter Islamic Jihad and its violence.

    The UK runs a government body grandly entitled “The International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation” (ICSR), based in King’s College London.

    They have been monitoring Muslim women travelling to Syria to fight Jihad, and yet so deluded are this bunch of lefties that they haven’t got the first clue of Islamic doctrine (or they’re lying), nor the motives of people travelling on Jihad.

    According to Melanie Smith, a research associate at the ICSR “Ms Smith also claims a vast majority of these women go to make hijrah – a migration in search of a better life.”

    Two things here, hijrah does not mean a migration in search of a better life, but even if it did does anyone reading this seriously believe for one instant, that life in Syria as a Jihadi fighter or ‘bride’ will be a better life than it is in Luton?

    This women is either certifiable, lying, or the BBC have completely distorted her accounts.

    The simple meaning of the word Hijrah (migration) is to move from one place to the other and take up residence there. It is an historical reference to Mohammeds supposed flight from Mecca to Medina.

    “I spoke to at least two dozen Muslim women in Luton, most of whom said they would like to go to Syria to provide humanitarian aid but whose family priorities at home are making such a journey difficult.”

    Cosy little chat Sarah Montague had this morning with one of the many BBC’s correspondents in the Middle East (why are so many of them Irish women?).

    You’d have thought the unholy mess in Iraq, Syria and beyond with its mass murder, mutilations, crucifixions, butchery, religious cleansing and general stomach-churning savagery would have merited at least the same grave tones as when the BBC reports on Israeli attacks on Gaza.

    Not a bit of it.

    So calm and matter of fact and reasonable you’d think the emergence of ISIS and its ‘Caliphate’ had come about by some faultless democratic process.

    ‘So I decided to find out what life is like under ISIS’ says our correspondent, breezily.
    Interviewee (of which there was only one): ‘Life is good’.

    Correspondent: ‘Really?’
    Interviewee: ‘Yes, they’ve opened up roads and you are much more free to move about Mosul now than before’.

    End of interview.

    I’d guess he wasn’t a Christian or a music lover, or didn’t mind his wife being forced to walk round in a head-to-toe black shroud. But we’ll never really know, will we?

    But what you do know is that life is good under ISIS. And you know that because you heard it on the BBC.

        Funny how Biased BBC commenters imply the equalisation of the age of consent was down to some sort of predatory instinct. The age of consent was 16 for opposite sex relationships for how many decades? THOSE FILTHY HETEROSEXUALS.

        But then. When it comes to bigotry on Biased BBC we can’t let logic and facts get in the way, now, can we. Allowing sad little men to lie to themselves in a pitiful attempt to let themselves believe they’re in the right is FAR more important than telling the truth.

      Don’t like to do the British thing and dismiss everything as a white elephant, doomed to failure, but the timing of this and the number of Scottish locations are suspicious, to say the least.

      Apparently it will be the first outside the US, which makes me wonder why nobody else has bothered if it’s such a great idea. It’s the sort of grandiose scheme the French normally go for.

      A couple of other thoughts. If this is supposed to be a commercial venture, how will the inevitable cancellations due to bad weather work out? And wouldn’t two bases be needed to provide an alternative landing site?

        Simple maths and physics show that it is best to launch near the equator, England seems marginally better placed than Scotland in that respect.
        On the other hand people may feel better at leaving Scotland at great speed…. ( using an argument similar to mine that it would be better to extract the toll on leaving Wales rather than on entry. )

          For a conventional ground based launch then you are correct, however the US and the Brits are looking at a plane launch system along the lines of what Richard Branson is using for his commercial venture. google Skylon, the reason why Scotland looks good is because it it out of the way of most commercial air routes

    Did I hear that right?
    Israel had a unilateral ceasefire, based on the obvious understanding that Hamas would not be firing rockets into Israel as they held it.
    But Hamas “did not consider themselves part of the negotiations”-so sent rockets into Israel, by way of ” avoiding being seen as surrendering”.
    And the BBC/ITV portray this as ISRAEL breaching an Egyptian-based ceasefire?…WTF?
    I`m guessing we`re now well beyond Orwell now…these nutjobs of Hamas and the BBC plead victimhood, even as they kill Israeli volunteers.

    There is a programme on immigration on the BBC tonight. Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford explore the impact of immigration in the UK by bringing both sides of the debate together. Pairing five Brits who are opposed to immigration with five immigrants, they look at the issues of jobs, housing and what it means to be British. Oh dear. The outcome, net benefits, immigrants contribute more than they take out island built on immigration, we are all immigrants yadah yadah yadah…

          This is a very clever piece of propaganda. I couldnt keep watching it, it annoyed me so much. Superficially it does appear ‘balanced’, its not unsympathetic to the situation of the Brits, BUT, I have watched only two, the first a young carpenter, not stupid, but not the most articulate either, set up opposed to a middle aged Polish man who has lived here ten years and now runs his own furniture making business, employing only Poles. The young lad isnt exactly a match for him. Then we have an older man from Southend, unhappy with the way his mother was treated by immigrants in the NHS, sent to meet a pretty bright Phillipino family, wife a nurse, husband formerly an assistant to a congressman, now workign in a care home two kids. They know exactly what to say: ‘difficult decision to come here’ (like hell it was), she claimed she came because she ‘loves travel’, like hell that was the reason. He claims when asked about his current job (which he is clearly only doing as a stepping stone to something better) ‘Phillipinos are very caring people ‘LOL!
          This family are living in a shared ownership new build flat in south London. Their two boys (and maybe more to come) are getting an education at our expense. They are not an ‘asset’. They are here for themselves to take what they can.

            The whole programme really left one with no doubt at all as to its predetermined agenda. This was a deliberate (and typical) false flag operation on the part of the ever disingenuous BBC to ‘discuss’ a contentious subject upon which the BBC has an absolutely inflexible, fixed political stance. As a result, it was little wonder, then, to see that within the first part of this two parter (second part tonight on BBC1 at 9pm) we already have one of the five test subjects (white English boy, unemployed, lives in the SE, a little slow) successfully ‘converted’ (re-educated?) to see the unlimited ‘benefits’ of open door EU immigration.

            Job done, BBC, job done. One can only imagine how ‘balanced’ and ‘impartial’ the remainder of the ‘debate’ will be in tonight’s concluding episode. We are promised ‘verdicts’ from our remaining four immigration sceptics.

            Anyone care to place any bets on whether or not they’ll have seen the ‘error of their ways’..?

          Yes that was the unfortunate young carpeneter who certainly fluffed his words ( as one might when not used to the camera of course), while anything stupid said by the immigrants would have been cut by the helpful beeboids.

          It was an inappropriate response from the carpenter who should have come down like a ton of bricks on the arrogant little Polish apprentice who claimed to be having no problems learning English – a parody of the truth, when it was clear how slow his progress was when his employer had to interpret for him! Instead our none too articulate countryman mumbled the faux pas you mention.

Didn’t one of the others have ADHD and was sent out picking in the fields and suprise failed.
