I have been away and been very busy so hence lack of activity here! Anyhow, here’s a thread for the weekend. Wonder if the BBC have discovered that it was a Muslim that cut the pensioners head off in London? They seem more concerned about the CAT.
WEEKEND OPEN THREAD

As a start and there’s so much out there!
BBC.
You can see who’s side they support. Certainly not national security. Calais aspiring immigrants. Why now called migrants?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-29079244
Isn’t it strange that whenever the BBC cover this, on TV or radio, they:
1. Always manage to find a ‘migrant’ who is able to justify his lust for life on Treasure Island e.g. (from one broadcast alone this week): ‘Britain was a colonial power in my country so I am owed this’ and ‘I can’t speak French, only English, so why should I stay in France?’
2. Never ask ‘What are the EU doing about it?’ because, clearly, it is an EU problem. Coverage is always slyly angled towards it being the UK’s problem if not, in fact, the UK’s fault – so it’s always about what the UK border agency is going to do, or what Cameron is going to do.
Yes, I heard this on R4 too. I think the BBC slipped up a bit with this interview. The would- be immigrant initially mentioned “getting a house” and other benefits as his reasons for wanting to come to Britain. He seemed then to realise he was being too honest and began to spout the more BBC-FRIENDLY reasons you mention. The French mayor of Calais simply said GB benefits are better than anywhere in Europe and that is why “asylum seekers” flock there in their thousands. Why she thought it was the British government’s job to control French borders is beyond me.
Does anyone ever listen to the lamentably awful
“Any Questions” on R4? Unwisely, I switched on tonight and quickly switched off again, the emetic effect was so great. Some vacuous woman MP was claiming that “bombing IS would be counterproductive”.
What is that supposed to mean? Of course, on the question of removing passports from Jihadists Dimbleby pipes up presenting himself as the British voice of patrician reasonableness, defending British values etc. claiming that Britain making true-born British Jihadists stateless would encourage the Chinese to make dissidents stateless. It seems to have escaped his notice that the Chinese do this anyway.
Even more hilariously, he claimed that if other states followed the British proposal and made their citizens stateless we would not be able to repatriate undesirables.
Since when has the GB government repatriated anybody stateless or not?
I don’t get this ‘stateless’ nonsense.
There’s a handy caliphate syria/ iraq way would be glad to help them.
Aren’t there any Islamic states these ‘heroes of Islam’ could go to?
I guess they can’t be called asylum seekers until they try to claim it.
You can see here where the BBC obtains their copy for reports on the Calais ‘migrants’.
http://calaismigrantsolidarity.wordpress.com/
I had a quick look at that website ” calais migrants parasites solidarity. It’s the same mentality that was responsible for the French Revolution and the subsequent reign of terror. Must be a bunch of Jacobins running it.
“guess they can’t be called asylum seekers until they try to claim it.”
True, but the BBC has no problem calling them ‘migrant workers’.

Birds migrate, the other type riot.
And birds migrate back home again in six months’ time. The bBBC’s migrants don’t: they bring even more of their family and friends here, including marrying first-cousins to perpetuate their inbred genes.
Pat Condell asks an important question
Just how many are ‘graduates’ I wonder
BBC Common Purpose plants exposed
You wait ages for one then two come along together.
As BBC-NUJ should know, but is silent about-
“POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS LET DOWN THOSE MOST VULNERABLE TO ABUSE”
By Paul Nuttall, UKIP.
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/05/Political-Correctness-Has-Let-Down-Those-Most-Vulnerable-to-Abuse
UKIP has rightly said this.
But Tories, Lib Dems, Labour, BBC. Channel 4, Independent, etc, are nowhere to be heard in any self criticism on this.
So the tragic political errors of Rotherham will be repeated.
Caring for working class white children is of no interest to the elite. The only thing that they care about is holding power and influence. A few sops will be slung our way to keep us quiet.
Despicable buch of tossers are those in power. Worthless.
It had to happen! BBC’s Look North reporting from Rotherham about how the Muslim community fear a “backlash” over the grooming scandal. Their Pakistani “Communities Reporter” interviewing a number of Pakistanis who all profess ignorance that the sexual exploitation of under-age white girls was happening under their very noses. They were “Shocked “- Shocked I tell you -when they discovered what was happening. Usual BBC practice of making the Muslim community into victims. That the practice of grooming young white girls is actively encouraged by the “community” elders – admitted by a number of Pakistani youths I spoke with when they used to hang around Sheffield’s Pond Street Bus Station back in the 1990s – and has been known about around Sheffield for the past thirty or so years, gives the lie to the BBC report. Probably the practice runs in families, being passed from father to son down the generations. It also proves the BBC lie in that sexual grooming by Muslims has occurred in all British cities with a large Pakistani/Kashmiri/Bangladeshi population. For these people to profess ignorance is unbelievable and lacks credibility. Taqqiya is alive and well in the BBC’s Look North studios.
And you can see that it wasn’t talent and being able to speak easily to the camera that fulfilled the Look North Communities reporter’s qualification for employment with the BBC. It seems the only qualification, apart from your political viewpoint, is having a darker skin colour than the majority of Yorkshire born people.
Andy,
The security situation in Europe will only get worse . When Isis start losing big time. The Islamist jihadists will return and some will not only bring back their bigoted ways. Some will kill and they will target due to a lack of weapons. Soft targets .
Expect a lot of innocent blood. Me, I wonder how the left and Islamic world will cover this.
Scottish Labour MP woman interviewed today about the independence vote. She claims the ‘Yes’ campaign’s figures for welfare don’t stack up so ‘the Scottish people’ would be much better off ‘social justice’ wise under a UK Labour government.
Somewhere, in an alternative Broadcasting House in an alternative universe far, far away, a ‘News Quiz’ scriptwriter is rubbing his hands with glee, salivating over the prospect of teasing out the irony from that little economic gem with 5 minutes of savage, right-wing satire.
Yes I remember one of the tiddlywinks-on-ice team being asked whether she preferred competing for Scotland or GB.
‘Och wee get better funding when we compete for Team GB.’
Quite.
The Nats halfwits when asked about the fact that post a Yes vote, they would have to give English students free tuition, or else charge everyone countered with’
‘We’re sure Europe will give us a special dispensation’.
Yeah like the special dispensation you expect the Bank of England to give you with currency union.
And the other ‘special dispensation’ the EC will give you allowing instant entry.
What a bankrupt shower of half-arsed idiots.
Today’s Jeremy Vine show debated the Barbican ‘art installation’ that has black people shackled inside a cage.
Those defending tell us it’s all about our colonial past and shameful enslavement of the African people.
Those against it scream racism and say we should be more respectful because of our colonial past and shameful enslavement of the African people.
In other words, a nice open door presented by the BBC for two sets of leftie obsessives to push against in the same ideological direction i.e. slave traders and owners were only ever white Europeans/Americans and slaves were only ever black Africans – that is the history of slavery as understood in modern Britain, shamelessly encouraged by the national broadcasting behemoth which seeks to ‘educate and inform’.
Like the majority of readers on this site, I too owned many African slaves on my cotton plantation in the Deep South. After a hard day spent drinking and whipping my ‘boys’, I would spend the evenings raping their women and selling their offspring on the internet. It’s only fair and proper that the BBC should constantly remind me of my ongoing sins – thank God for Jeremy Vine! P.S. Am I suitably atoned now and ready to tackle my homophobia and islamophobia and other phobias and ‘isms that I’m not even aware of?
Just say “sorry”, and “lessons have been learned” and everything will be fine, and any guilt instantly assuaged.
Kindly note how many children of emancipated African slaves three generations hence have freely returned to their home land and heritage. Any? Not bloody likely! That’s strictly for holidays. Better to greivance-monger in the capitalist wealth-generating West than go “home” to African tribal sectarianism, not to mention inverse black racism. Besides, do they have wi-fi?
I have had the misfortune to watch a recording of Castle in the Sky, well the first hour or so,I couldn’t last the course such was the stupidity and misrepresentation of the programme. I know that with Mr Izzard as the star it was unlikely to be anything notable but I just can’t believe that even the BBC managed to make such a silly programme about such a seminal chapter in British history. To portray Mr Watson Watt as a renegade scientist of poor background at odds with the whole scientific establishment forced to scrimp along with a collection of chicken wire and old batteries is complete rubbish. To further introduce an overwhelming sense of class warfare, ‘its the poor oppressed workers who saved us’, was just ridiculous . What could have been a good story was reduced to leftist propaganda rubbish. My God you can’t trust the BBC to do anything well these days, they simply can’t stop themselves introducing their leftist propaganda into the history of Britain and distorting the truth. Why oh why do I have to pay these idiots to do untold damage to my country year after year. I despise them beyond words.
To portray Mr Watson Watt as a renegade scientist of poor background at odds with the whole scientific establishment
——————————————————————————-
Wow. Not ‘settled’ then.
There’s a thing.
Also worth pointing out that the real W’at al-Son W’at was a Muslim scientist who invented radar in 9th century Arabia. Surely every school boy knows that? Or will soon do.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that ‘fact’ turns up in a BBC science documentary soon.
At least it served to inspire me to read up on what really happened, and it seems to have been more U-571 with fewer laughs and more underpants.
A shame, as the story of the science was pretty interesting, but the attempt to ladle in some feisty drama and personal anguish to perk up the plot came across as a series of afterthoughts. Missus happy. Missus not happy. Missus mopes. Missus leaves letter. No more missus.
I also tend to feel sorry for real people assigned ‘baddie’ roles in such ‘inspired by’ tales. Certainly the a Prof. came across as a tash-twirler to rival Dick Dastardly. Was he really like that? And why the end scene booted out the plotting room? Did that happen? He was knighted by a grateful nation and given a very nifty stipend for his vast contribution. That doesn’t smack of used, abused and discarded.
A fair enough low key tale, but as education and information I told my kids to read elsewhere. But then again, that is SOP with anything the BBC broadcasts.
BBC Radio 3 Announces a major new innovative development especially for the proms season – QUADRAPHONIC !
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radio3/posts/BBC-Proms-in-Surround-Sound
According to the webpage this amazing new development of 4.0 will be available over the internet only, whilst all the TV broadcasts will carry the more normal 5.1 audio !
If I miss the broadcast, will the BBC be selling an 8 track cartridge version?
Anybody seen this bBC video (which has had top spot for a few days now) showing the devastation in Gaza.
Gaza conflict: Drone footage reveals extent of damage
“In Gaza, families are slowing returning to their homes, but for many they will find them razed to the ground. Drone footage reveals the extent of damage to Gaza City caused by the recent conflict with Israeli that lasted 50 days, until a ceasefire was brokered.”
I’m sure a lot of people will have thought: “God how widespread is the damage across Gaza, those Jews are fucking evil”
Now watch it again, Notice something, Its the same area just from different angles. Things to notice, building with 2 green Hamas flags, big white rectangular building , bomb crater with water in it.
Once you work that out, you realise that actually the area isn’t that large and that by looking at the horizon, you notice one thing, they never give you a view looking west with Israel behind you and towards the sea.
Could it be , that , that view would expose the lie that is….Pallywood?
Judging by Palestinian areas I’ve visited in the past that could well have been taken before the conflict.
Oh look what I found:

Summer time and the living has been far from easy. Jihadist are jumping and the head count is high. Your Daddy is is fighting for ISIS in Iraqi and Syria, He is planing to bring it home to all of us. Your Mama and your aunty Beeb are spreading Jihadist lies. So hush my little imperialist crusader bigoted baby don’t you cry foul.
One of these mornings you are going to rise up signing the praise of martyrdom in the name of Islam, with your suicide belt you will cause maximum harm.
Then you will spread your qassam rockets wings and you will taken to the sky, where you will find the white virgins of Rotherham ready to exploit.
Till that morning there is nothing that can harm you, the police, social workers and multiculturalist are all there to ensure that no one can harm you.
With Daddy denial and Mummy media standing by you.
Don’t you, don’t you cry.
Summerime. well written John Paul Jones
I’ve just realised that I haven’t watched or listened to any BBC output for over a fortnight except cricket (TMS) and PMQs (Parliament). I feel relaxed and stress free. I have been charged the same licence fee though. Doesn’t seem fair.
I find 2 weeks in Greece with no BBC at all is even better, Phil!
The bBBC is ever-alert for opportunities to push their pro-Muslim line. Even in the tributes to Joan Rivers they threw in that ‘Last month, she was criticised for a rant on the Israeli-Gaza crisis, after suggesting to a TMZ reporter that Palestinians were to blame for the conflict’.
Has anyone noticed , this clever bit from al bbc ,hall of mirrors . Today it was all about ,how shops & spending are all returning to the traditional high street. Yet only a few months back, it was all Doom & Gloom , Plan `A` is not working ,the only way is the Milliballs Plan `B` . Thats the answer ,for sure . Now the only reason this can be, is to divert attention from Rotherham , beheading`s at home & abroad,illegals massing in Calais , Ukraine , Nato summit , EU ,electrical directives , for hoovers , kettles , toasters , & lawn mowers . They are trying to beef up the economy, after 4 years of slagging of George Osborne & the coallition. I wonder why ?
Plan ‘B’ turned out really well for Milliprat’s pal in France, M. Hollande, didn’t it? Makes you wonder why all those sunni delights are trying to get here from Calais.
‘….she was criticised for a rant on the Israeli-Gaza crisis, after suggesting to a TMZ reporter that Palestinians were to blame for the conflict’.
Brandishing their impartiality credentials with customary pride but total lack of self-awareness, the BBC class an anti-Palestinian view as a ‘rant’. Meanwhile, ‘Palestinian’ spokesmen can be heard ad nauseam over the BBC airwaves, almost shouting their uninterrupted, propaganda-saturated, lie-filled diatribes against Israel without any judgement call whatsoever from our treasured national broadcaster.
Funny, that.
Friday night news. John Simpson going on about all the trouble in the world. Way behind the curve!!! It’s all been discussed on sites such as this for months.
He said Obama hadn’t yet got a strategy on Isis….like that was a positive thing..while US sites are going berserk about the commander in chief not having a strategy! Apart from the pro Obama bias, the BBC news is not news!…it’s redundant.
And the big item was the Calais immigrants..painted in the most glowing terms as they had Hope and courageously searched for a better life. Dear God.
this guy is a nigerian.he converted to islam last year. it was reported in the sun he was fascinated by those beheading videos of those 2 american journalists by those hitlers in heasdscarves isis scum,but the met police say this is not a terrorist incident even though this 82 year old pensioner was beheaded by this piece of vermin.i just dont buy that,do you,if this was not a terrorist incident whatis. another thing,this jihadi john tag by the media sickens me,this guy is not a christian,he is not named john,so i wish the media would stop calling him that,i find this john tag insulting.call him what he is,jihadi mohammed or whatever first muslim name is but not jihadi john.
The information that the state broadcaster chooses to omit: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2745629/Revealed-How-Muslim-arrested-gran-s-beheading-loner-never-job-nicknamed-Fat-Nick.html. An observation: the disgraced Macpherson report defined a racist crime as “any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person”. In the interests of consistency, how about terrorism being defined as “any incident which is perceived to be terrorism by the victim or any other person”? Just a thought.
Nigerian. Muslim. Cage-fighter. Machete. What could possibly go wrong?
I see that Jon Donnison is calling Joan Rivers a racist on twitter. Very brave of him now that she’s dead. She could have dealt with him easily, that is if she could be bothered with the classless pygmy.
I just looked. Yes, he does.
—
@JonDonnison: Much being said about Joan #Rivers being “outspoken” and “risqué.” Few mentioning that she was also a racist.
—
This must fall under the ‘RTs not endorsements; views own’ cloak of deniability the BBC issues its staff to confer immunity from responsibility.
Seems rather a direct claim for a BBC member of staff to stick in print even so.
And playing the BBC game of semantics, is he saying few (unspecified… classic BBC ‘there are those who say’ for ‘no one but me’) have made that claim, or proudly doing so from a position of not many.
Whichever way, he seems to have taken leave of his senses. Hope there are no cats in the neighbourhood.
BBC, your creation has become self-unaware, and is on the loose. Better get on it as it will come back on you.
So easy for the cowardly fascist to attack someone after their death, but in life this recording from a discussion on the BBC with the odious Darcus Howe.
Guest accuses a guest of being a racist, and Beebette chair says it wasn’t personal?
BBC revisionism at its most bizarre.
Interesting how Ms. Rivers totally dominated and crushed those two by playing them at their own game, set and match.
Respect.
Mr. Donnison needs to consider his isolated position.
And the creep (Darcus Howe), even when called out on his snidey claim, didn’t even have the guts to admit he knew nothing of Joan Rivers whatsoever, and climbed down only far enough to say that he didn’t know if she was a racist or not….thereby inferring that she just might be.
I wonder if he’d accept the same logic about himself, or would the BBC even allow such an inference without demanding a public, and as humiliating as could possibly be engineered, apology ?
She’s amazing in that YT clip. Fearless and principled – so unlike the gutless, unprincipled leftwing cowards that dare to call themselves ‘comedians’ these days on the BBC. She will be missed. God knows we need her more than ever these days.
Well Joan was…..Jewish
Indeed; has anyone got Twitter remarks by JD about any other celebrities? If not then we have to add it to the “JD just hates Jews” school of thought.
Well, here’s one of his latest:
Jon Donnison @JonDonnison
You have to laugh. Top complaints to the BBC in last month. pic.twitter.com/LFAYRi8m92 via @jimwaterson #israel #palestine #greatbritishbakeoff
Clearly one alert to the complaints the BBC gets. And with colleagues finds it all hilarious.
I agree there is some concern in the distractions that can come from the sofa set, but them’s the breaks when you are obliged to serve all as one.
A bit more interesting is how the more serious ones lower down the totem get treated… and dismissed.
I might also add that the BBC of course controls what the BBC says the BBC gets complained to about. So just about anything could be what they choose to make it, or not.
And even if an independent inquiry asked to see the raw data there’d be a queue of FOI lawyers on overtime around W1A to say why that is not for seeing.
So thanks for highlighting just how bent the system that protects you so well is, Jon.
And a republican
Joan Rivers: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow’s a mystery, today is God’s gift that’s why it’s called the present”. Then at the bottom of the food chain there’s the BBC’s anti-Semitic news-faker Donnison.
Someone mentioned elsewhere about Joan Rivers’ family could possibly sue Donnison for his racist accusations? I think that’s the best way to hit these Schoolboy Socialists – right in the fat wallet.
I would fancy Joan Rivers over that arsehole Donnison in a fight anyday. He definitely looks the running away type.
Our old pal, Paul Mason, former beeboid, now Economics Ed. at Channel 4, who described the looting thugs of August 2011 as ‘political trailblazers’, has been imagining his ideal city, his own urban utopia:
‘You could argue that NYC after the Occupy movement experienced a positive change in social atmosphere, a democratisation of artistic space, & a revival of its radical mojo.’
So says Paul Mason, a fifty-something former Trotskyite & Workers’ Power enthusiast, who, despite his advancing years, is still aroused by mob thuggery & driven to high drama by the state of Twitter…
http://www.davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2014/08/hes-a-fan-of-laurie-penny-you-know.html
Choice comments, of course. Two of them:
‘Paul Mason Island? Does it have enough political unrest, though? Everyone wants a neighbourhood enlivened by rioting.’
‘How embarrassing it must be to get an erection every time you hear the sound of breaking glass.’
That nails the Peter Pan of ‘progressive’ politics to the wall of the Students’ Union bar.
Ah, dear old ‘It’s all kicking off’ Mason, Newsnight’s ‘Anger & Protests’ Editor, by way of… Economics.
I wonder at what point Humbert Humbert’s muse will desert him as he seems destined to join Jon Donnison in that special place reserved for the clinically unaccountable.
graphen fedora. Paul Mason comment. Excellent
Just turned on to watch practice 2 of the Italian Grand Prix. As usual they seem to be concentrating on one driver.

Pure BBC! The bBBC gives airtime on the Toady programme to a queer leftie to plug his new film about how queer lefties supported the miners’ strike thirty years ago because they hated Mrs Thatcher.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-29036048
‘….how queer lefties supported the miners’ strike thirty years ago because they hated Mrs Thatcher.’
Can’t imagine why some think the BBC/Arts Non-Industrial Complex is stuffed with effete over-funded champagne socialist luvvies…
Fascinating insight this week as to what the BBC thinks we should worry over and what not.
Two violent deaths in London and the BBC carries a Met reassurance that these things are very rare. Don’t have nightmares.
Meanwhile, shortage of teachers, rogue landlords, funding of this, funding of that, public sector do-dah… it’s all in ‘Crisis’ …. oh, and E-cigs… these are some of our scariest things.
If ever there was a Sound of Music-based spoof suggested, that last line is it.
‘Snowfall in August,
Class sizes growing,
UKIP in Clacton,
Militants to act on,
These are a few of our scariest things…’

A perfect example of the bias held by the bbbc. Excellent.
Last night I had a dream that the licence fee had been removed and the bbbc had been closed down………but I afraid that is all it was – a dream. The bbbc will never relent until we are all living under sharia law and all of us animals are equal (well, when I say equal, I mean that some animals are more equal than others)
…and all toiling in the fields beneath the wind turbines. Never forget the wind turbines. The BBC doesn’t.
Perhaps the BBC transmitters should be powered uniquely by “renewable energy” – wind and solar. Why should they use dirty fossil fuels and nuclear while promoting “Unreliable Energy?” Newsnight powered by solar, that would be something worth not watching. The stench of liberal hypocrisy, fitted as standard.
no mention of him being Muslim on the BBC or Sky in fact SKy didn’t even have it as an item listed at the start of the news. The agenda of appeasement and dis-information continues
Now that Sky News’s chief political commentator is Faisal Islam, why would you expect anything other than the same old same old? (And in a parallel universe, J.C. Christian is head of religious affairs at the Pakistani State Broadcasting Company.)
BBC News TV channel a few minutes ago. Reporting on a claim from a political analyst in the region, that a ceasefire had been broken, immediately leapt in to say that the report was from someone associated with the armed forces the BBC was reporting about, that the claim had not been corroborated by other sources, and certainly not by any independent source, etc., etc., obviously inferring that any such information, from any such source, had to be treated as unreliable, and potentially suspect.
The analyst in question happened to be a Ukrainian, who was being associated by the BBC (based on who knows what sources for that information) with the Ukrainian government forces. But it does not matter who this ‘analyst’ was, the question I have is quite simple….
If the BBC can cast all these doubts on this particular source of information, why is it that during all the reports I saw from Gaza earlier this year (and in all previous Israel/Gaza conflicts that I can remember), I never once heard anything like that litany of cautionary caveats concerning information actually being given to the BBC directly by Hamas government representatives.
BBC = Bias By Concealment.

“the arch voice of the Tory left, on the Daily Politics, Newsnight”
Mrs. Merton clearly on booking duty for BBC ‘news’ shows.
Mr. Parris clearly an ex-Tory MP gift in the same way most ex(and current,frankly) screen-addicted Limps and Labs are, so too good not to head straight for, but the attraction is all too transparent.
The comments above re Jon Donnison calling Joan Rivers a racist are particularly amusing today, when the BBC once again indulged its favourite pastime of casual racism.
In the 7am Today headlines, we yet again had race highlighted in one story, but another another, when it might properly have been mentioned in neither or both. Thus, 5 men (4 black, one Hispanic, we are told) are to get loads of compo for being falsely accused of raping a woman (white, we are told) in Central Park [why is this US story even making our news headlines at all????]. Meanwhile a “man” has been charged and will appear in court today accused of the beheading in London. End of story. No mention that the alleged attacker is black. No mention that he is (apparently) a muslim convert. No mention that the victim was white.
Now, this all happens in the same two minute news headlines slot. Why raise race in one case but not another? Why is race only ever raised on the BBC if it portrays black people as victims? Race is totally uni-directional on the BBC and is abused to create and maintain a sense of victim-hood and grievance amongst minority communities, and a sense of guilt and shame amongst the majority white community. If that is not racist, I don’t know what is.
And if anyone needs other examples, look no further than Ferguson – the classic “unarmedblackteenager” shot by “whitepoliceman”, reported at the same time and in the same bulletins as totally colourless beheadings in the Middle East, despite a reversed black perpetrator/white victim.
The BBC is institutionally racist.
2nd para “not” another; damn too late for edit! 🙂
Good point
“[why is this US story even making our news headlines at all????].”
When did the BBC ever give us the story of a ‘white’ woman who was raped by ‘hispanics’ or ‘White’ policeman who was gunned down by a ‘black’ drug addict does this never happen in america?
Or perhaps more pertinently the case of a group of white college students who had their lives ruined by being falsely accused of raping a black woman,which did.
In the case of the Rotherham rape Jihad have they not told repeatedly (ad nauseum in fact) that it is the crime that matters and not race of the offenders or their victims and that it is time to move on?
I had a quick look on the net to see if I could see some details on the beheading atrocity. The BBc web page is running the (not very) informative “A man accused over the suspected beheading of a grandmother in north London has been remanded in custody” So we are still sticking with it’s those men again.
In between F1 which they are actually showing live I had the misfortune to watch the great British bake off an extra slice, Is the over the top canned laughter ironic or what? The usual, well 2 out of 3, special guests who are only there to take the money and I suspect not pass on their baking skills. I say suspect because I turned over. Still another chance for the BBc to put on Shappi as funny as an acid enema Khorsandi. The TV is now on ITV 4 and Aias Smith & Jones (The western not the British comedy) whilst dire, I used to like this when it was first on, is a work of pure genius compared to Bakeoff another slice.
For INBBC: the scale of the Islamic State threat.
A reminder for INBBC to indicate that the Islamic State is not a small, regional group of ‘rebels’, ‘militants’ –

On this morning’s Today we had expert opinion on IS from – quelle surprise – a GUARDIAN journalist.
Apparently he found IS and Alky Ada jockeying for position via their respective slaughtering, enslaving, raping, beheading, burying alive etc etc strategies ‘fascinating’.
Funny, I just find it fucking terrifying.
It would be fascinating to discover just what it is that makes journalists from a rather small, very niche newspaper the near default go-to for the BBC on anything.
Sadly, this is likely behind the OLS (our little secret) notplayingwall.
It’s not like the Guardian has a great reputation for accuracy or insight of value.
Only this morning on twitter I was having a lie-in LOL as I surfed twitter as BBC sparkly-toothed wonder boy Prof. Coxy mildly admonished the Graun for dropping him right in it by not as such reporting what he said as it was.

this made me laugh, the BBCs first sentence expressly states that the police said this was a “targeted hate crime” (gotta luv them quotation marks)
however, the final sentence that actually quotes the police says, “We are investigating the possibility that this is a targeted hate crime.”
so its not a hate crime then lol. It might be, just like it might be kids doing what kids do, or a targeted attack by ET just before he launches an invasion of planet earth.
Dont the BBC just love making out that muslims are the victims all the time. Judging by past incidents similar to this, there’s also the possibility this may be insurance fraud by the muslim community centre. I wonder why the bbc dont mention that.
But the BBC doesnt mention unlike Tower FM, that the suspects were black which kinda makes me feel that its just another insurance scam .
Seems they forgot to paint “EDL” on the wall before they left .
Curious, is it not, how beheading an old lady in her back garden, or mowing down an off-duty soldier then cutting his head off, or grooming and raping thousands of white girls, is never, ever, described as a “targeted hate crime”? Whilst setting fire to a minibus is.
People are noticing, BBC. People are noticing.
The BBC appears to have two desktop folders:
1) Watertight Oversight (to be investigated and published a bit after the cows come home)
2) STOP PRESS!!!! (no bother to check, especially if it comes from favoured communities living in fear – have some of the past affronts to inanimate objects actually been followed up at all, ever?).
I’m also not sure that, even on the Mishal Scale of Deadly Moral Relativism, torched Transits and meat-decorated door furniture quite equates to the physical carnage being wreaked under the UK RoP column.

Pass this on dont let the BBC push these children down the memory hole
Horrific murder involving multiple stab wounds in the New Foerest. Men have been arrested, no description. Speculation and rumours concerning their ethnic status is fueled by the police and media inability to provide descriptions so that witnesses might step forward. The New Forest has seen a few problems with settlers from far away lands.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29095022
That’s a shocker I lived for many years just up the road from Beaulieu just on the edge of Blackfield, in Holbury. Certainly the area is hideously white. However when the media starts giving out the usual non-descriptions of suspects my suspicion is always aroused. The local paper is running a word for word copy of the report
We are now in an absence-of-reporting signposting territory.
When they mention nothing, you know something is afoot.
When it’s done by just “men” you know they are hiding the ethnic dimension.
When it is done by a “British national” you know he’s from foreign lands given indefinite right to stay (and benefits) by the spineless diversity-trained goons in Theresa May’s Home Office (saves legal costs, you see).
When it appears on “regional news” pages you know the BBC is hiding it.
When they big-up a trivial story you know its a distraction strategy to keep the real stories out of sight.
The real problem is the BBC think we are not aware of their slight of hand. I gainsay more and more are every day.
I wonder if Al-beeb will report this?

Lobster here’s something I wrote earlier on;
http://the-eyeontheworld.blogspot.co.uk
BBC Radio Manchester News reports that there’s an anti austerity march in Manchester today organised by Unison regarding the 60,000 public sector job losses in the North West since 2010. Kevin Nelson, Unison’s general secretary seriously said this, ‘we need to address this problem because we see the consequences of cuts in Rochdale and earlier this week in Rotherham and the underlying factor in a lot of these social problems … is that the funding is simply not there.’ There was plenty of funding when it was going on and you fuckers turned a blind eye. A blatant, unchallenged, untruth but the message was nevertheless delivered to BBC Manchester’s bovine listeners. See, it woz da cutz that led to Rotherdale. I see a theme developing, just in time for next years general election – Tory cutz led to mosquito rape gangs. 1997-2010 (when most of it was going on) seem to have been consigned down the memory hole.
This was followed by yet more al beeb propagandising on behalf of illegal immigrants in Calais. Taking care to describe them as ‘migrants’ they are subject to French ‘police brutality’. No evidence, naturally. There follows an interview with a Sudanese man whose whole family was ‘murdered’. Never mind, when you’ve got asylum, I’m sure you’ll discover them again (when you return on holiday) and bring them all over here.
Well spotted.
You definitely got a great complaint to put in to Radio Manchester News – that is definitely one hard core untruth and should have been challenged for sure.
They think they can sleep walk us into a Lefty/labour induced Caliphate and we will accept all the propaganda they push at us.
Looking at some of the still shots of King Obama amidst the stones on Salisbury plain one cannot help wondering if the BBC were presenting a Macbeth moment of a tortured soul with all the problems of the world on his shoulders.

Well, if his first thought is more how the actions of the latest recruit makes life tricky for the rest of the congregation I guess that’s his affair. Good luck with that.
However, if the national broadcaster of the country starts giving him red carpet access to ply that line, it becomes a matter of concern. Especially when he has a poor grasp of truth or accuracy.
Like such as Mehdi Hasan, the BBC seems to have realised that being the megaphone for propagandists of this calibre is not doing their credibility many favours, and with luck will continue to steer clear.
Not least because the trend seems rather less encouraging from one quarter more than most, and dodgy vandalism or silly ‘ism taunting hardly compares to lopping people’s heads off.
“…where s “brave” P Tatchell on this one eh!”
Where, indeed? Where are any of Britain’s queer advocates on the issue of human rights abuses by Islam on homosexuals?
*…tumbleweed…*
As a gay man myself I am dismayed by the cowardice, hypocrisy and wilful obfuscation by my own so-called community on this issue. Gutless morons.
Phil, unbelievably, he is now a direct compatriot of Mughal, hope they take a site seeing trip to Islamic state
to learn about “victimisation”
Where indeed are the ‘Women’s Rights, ‘Gay Rights’, Human Rights and Peace Camp activists?
Shouldn’t they all be campaigning in the very places where they are needed – Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc., not here in Britain?

Lord Patten may not be thrilled with that opening para: good.
But he’s gone. A lot that’s rotten remains at the head.
Like Rotherham and too much more, there are way too many still embedded who, to use the parlance, ‘have questions to answer’, and by now the BBC’s stock reaction, epitomised by the now ex Trust chair, of ‘we only ask; we don’t get asked’ is not going to wash much longer.
Good to see the Goslet Oldie piece getting picked up by bigger guns.
I am more concerned about ethics and tangible accountabilities, but like Al Capone mundane matters of money may matter more and serve as well.
£3M was spent on what appears to remain a massive cover-up. That is poor ROI.
Those five questions, and more, demand answers.
something happened last night on stephen nolans paper review at 12.am on radio 5 live that was very rare indeed,somebody stood up and did not let mohammed shafiq bully and hector them, no it was not the wet limp wristed lilly livered livered lettuce fake conservative gerry hayes because he was not there,it was david vance,yes mohammed shafiq tried his bullying tactics of shouting over david vance last night,but unlike gerry hayes david vance did not give in to those bully boy tactics tactics by mohammerd shafiq,i have to say i was quiet impressed with david vance last night on nolans paper review and i think he would make a perfect replacement for gerry hayes to take on and put super agrressive mohamed shafiq back in his left wing/ liberal box,
Note how INBBC censors, yet again, the global linkages of the Islamic jihadists’ barbarity, from the Middle East, to Europe.

John Humphrys seemed rather exercised about Britain trying to stem the Muslim hordes over there in Calais…bet the French wish that they`d let us keep it ,as well as the Channel Islands now(Today 8.10am 6.9.14).
Michael Howard had to say the same thing a few times to John…the French have made their noose with the Schengen Agreement, and it`s not Britains job to let the Moochers in to behead, rape or terrorise…
John fears that Greece is letting all the exotica in, and that the Greeks need some kind of British resolve and money to hold them back.
Why would Greece require lots of clip board monkeys to be made available to Calais, to Greece?
Humph seems to want Greece fortified…why so John?
You and the boy could write another fun-filled “My Family and Other Animals” with all those exciting, diverse chaps from Syria and Afpak…surely?
Poor Humph-even HE knew the futility of all that he was saying…one long phoning-in is Johns efforts to care about the good folk at Calais supermarches?…whatever happened to that EU “Do Not Leave Your Vehicles Unattended” stuff…seems that the poor sods dare not even leave their cars for a minute without some Beanie Boy jumping into the wheelwell!
Thank You Humph…and Blair too.
Wonder if Howard chiselled his argument into Humphs wooden leg…poor sod clearly needs his ear trumpet blowing out.
Chris, the answer to the question, why is Humphries so concerned about Greece is easy. He is putting all his money into his retirement home which he is building in GREECE.
And because Humph’s son already resides there, whom he visits regularly on his hols. Its also why he has got a bit over excited when discussing the Greek debt on Today programme a few times….apparently it’s all our fault. And nothing to do with train drivers on 80k a year and retiring at 50.
You missed out the part that under Chirac this problem never existed. It is only under the hated socialist Francois Hollande that his inability to deal with asylum seekers properly that this problem has arisen.
A rather extraordinary segment if the same I heard.
The intro by the moppet was as predictable a set up as could be imagined, with lots of dour emoting by her, and much anguished vox popping from curiously well-briefed chaps who had come so far to now be surprised at how poorly their demands to be supported were being currently met. BBC on the case pronto!
Humph was deranged. He simply could not envisage any scenario where it was little to do with the British as we had, for once, seen what was coming and not signed up to it. So having dodged the bullet it was up to us to step back in the firing line be unsure, well, the French though we should… to be fair. This logic of shared anguish was redolent of that of Mishal Husain in apparently feeling switching off Iron Dome every other day would provide her with acceptably balanced death tallies. Not too sure what they put in the Today coffee, but it is a bitter and twisted brew.
And had to love Humph’s genius solution…. More civil servants. He seriously suggested further battalions were dispatched to convince these aspiring benefits tourists to simply go home. If a UKIPper had said that it would have been outrage at dawn all week.
Still, one law for the BBC, a whole raft they approve of for the rest of us, eh?
The bBC, reporting an attack on an Islamic building in Manchester and …Half the story:
Arsonists set fire to bus at Newton Heath Islamic centre
Arsonists set fire to a minibus belonging to a Muslim community centre in what police believe was a “targeted hate crime”.Officers were called to The Islamic Centre in Newton Heath, Manchester, at about 01:20 BST.Two men dressed in black were seen running from the scene.
And here is how Manchester police report the above:
Appeal for witnesses following arson attack at Islamic Centre
Police are appealing for witnesses after an arson attack at an Islamic Centre in Newton Heath.
At around 11.25pm on Friday 5th September 2014, Police were called to The Islamic Centre, Regent Street, Newton Heath after reports of two men stealing CCTV cameras. Officers attended and found that two CCTV cameras had been ripped from front of the building. The two offenders were described as black men, wearing black clothes and scarves covering their faces…In the early hours of Saturday 6th September, at around 1.20am, Police were again called to the Islamic Centre after reports that a minibus was on fire.
Officers attended to find that the Islamic Centre’s minibus had been set alight deliberately. Two men, again dressed in black clothing, were seen running from the scene. Inspector Chris Hadfield said: “We believe the two incidents are linked and that the theft of the CCTV cameras was meant to help them carry out their arson attack on the minibus without being recorded.
I’m sorry but the fact that this was well planned (removal of TV cameras) tells me, that there is more to this story. Now your average thug doesn’t give a shit about being caught on camera. Add the fact that the guilty men were black . Could it be that these are Islamic idiots wanting to promote the Islamic victimhood angle in which get disfranchised Muslims to fill their ranks.
Unchallenged assumption that this was a ‘hate crime’ even though the attackers forgot to spray ‘EDL’ on a wall.
Why would arsonists target a vehicle but not a building?
Can we expect the same level of attention if Orange Lodges or Catholic Chapels are attacked in NI?
They also forgot to nick all the cameras, overlooking some ‘out the back’: maybe a costly oversight for
the sons of the desertthe horrid bigots who refuse to celebrate our multi-culti island of ceaseless wonders (and choppy-choppy time).Still, no doubt Greater Manchester’s finest will manage to ‘lose’ anything on those tapes that might threaten
the Islamic victimhood narrative‘community cohesion’. eh ?BBC still has the lie that police “believe” it was a targetted hate crime when in fact they only say its a possibility.
I would bet that this minibus was some clapped out wreck that needed replacing and what better way than fake some “hate crime”
Another “hate crime” that never was.
Just to add to this is the fact that they still dont mention the perps colour as they do in at least 2 other stories as of today , but the others are white .
http://www.islamophobiawatch.co.uk/visitors-to-islamic-centre-say-they-are-living-in-fear-after-arson-attack/
Seems it is ran for the benefit of Nigerians .
Now remind me just what colour did the police describe the men as ?
BBC spin
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-29094698
Headline is “Naomi Long: Girls were abused by security forces” while the article says “claims that girls in care homes were abused by members of the security forces.”
So, these are ‘claims’ not facts, and the headline implies that it was carried out by the security forces as an organisation.
If there is no spin, then I wait for the BBC headline ‘Pensioner beheaded by Islam’. How likely is that?
I am sure they have many stories like this lined up just awaiting something to be deflected from: it happens too often to be coincidence.
You forgot the quotation marks on ‘beheaded’ which Auntie has been using for this case (‘cos being decapitated is an ambiguous state of being as any fule kno).
Quotation marks add a suitable sarcastic “sneer” to the story making the reader think it didn’t happen.
“Quotes” are so much easier to get things that suit said, albeit by others, that are simply claims, even if there is clearly space for accuracy in the headline.
And if challenged, semantic argument and one degree of separation makes anything punted out golden.
For the bBBC the most important news this evening was that some trades unionists have walked from Darlington to London because they want a state monopoly in the NHS. Including lots of jobs for their members, of course. They were allowed to peddle their marxist propaganda without any thought of what the NHS is for and what’s best for the patients. Typical public-sector UNISON drones. Typical bBBC.
Walking is a far faster way of getting from Darlington to London than was taking the train in those glory days of BR that no doubt constitute the ‘Back to the 70’s’ wet dreams of these over-publicised fools.

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/06/Rumour-Yes-Camp-Takes-Lead-in-Shock-Scottish-Independence-Poll
The anti-British Broadcasting Corporation will be ecstatic that Salmond’s promise of a marxist state, funded by fruit from the magic money tree, is proving irresistible and the people living in Scotland may well vote to pull the plug.
Quite why they are being allowed to destroy my country – the United Kingdom – is a key question but at least, without Scotland, we wouldn’t have many Labour governments in future, so there is a bright side.
It is no small satisfaction to me that if Scots make the terrible mistake of voting for an SNP-run Scottish independence they will fully deserve their fate at the hands of The Dear Leader Chairman Salmond and his Comintern of Comrades.
I do hope the Scots see sense before the September 18th. There’s still time to avoid a disaster for Scotland!
Up until this last week I haven’t been seriously worried that there might be a yes vote. That has all changed very suddenly in the last few days with a yes head of steam rapidly building. In my neck of the woods at least all I see are yes posters and campaigners with the no side having apparently given up. Very worrying, frankly.
Told you this month’s ago. But being a mere “troll” the BBC groupthinkers disagreed.
Great to have you back after so long.
Just… any chance of mixing in a smidge of BBC inaccuracy, lack of objectivity to the discussion rather than merely the all about you whinge and generic accusation rehash?
‘Cos that’s rather the hallmark of trolling.
So if it’s a ‘No’ vote you fuck off forever?
Roland – everybody seems to be assuming that a ‘yes’ vote would lead to independence, but would it? Negotiations would be long and tedious, presumably the EU would have to be involved (it’s involved in everything else) and I suspect that the whole venture would stall and collapse under the huge weight of the problems arising.
Just a thought.
I think it’s quite possible, particularly if it was a very close “Yes” vote. I confess that would sit uneasy with me, because it would be blocking a democratic decision, even if I disagree with it. On the other hand 51:49 is no basis to rip up a centuries-old union, and the inevitable practical problems arising may cause people to think again.
It would be the ultimate irony if the EU causes so many problems in negotiations that they forced us to vote again to get the answer I want.
You are confusing the referendum with an election. There is no guarantee that the SNP will win the
Scottish election to be held in 2016.
What a clever-slogs you are, how could we possibly have known that. We are SO fortunate to have the benefit of your abundant wisdom.
Any comments on BBC bias. Oh Leader ?
Scotland is about to enter the realm of the unreal. The whole independence issue has that air about it.
I suppose the Scots are no more exempt from fantasy than the rest of us. Very sad to think that the Union could end after so long.
The liberal is by nature well disposed to this. Nurtured in an unreal world Scottish independence is yet another of the liberal’s dreams.
What is of concern is that if a no vote then an element in Scotland will regard the vote as illegitimate and turn to other meansand try to make sure Scotland is ungovernable. There seems to be real anti English feeling there now.
Liberalism is always close to violence despite it’s protestations.
Reminds me of when I lived in South America and was chatting to some guys from Guyana; they were telling me that when British Guiana voted for independence, and got it, everyone was ecstatic and when the actual day arrived they partied for several days. After a few WEEKS when things started to ‘not work’ and after a few months pretty much all institutions were not fit for function they started asking “When di Queen comi’ back?”. In the event of a YES vote I am sure Scotland will survive but they are cutting off their nose to site their face. The main benefit for England is 40 Labour MPs less at a single stroke.
Yes, we are so anti-Englsh that a number of SNP MSP’s are English.
So ? we are all anti Scottish to you even though most of our parliamentarians are scots !
Oh and anything to say on the abuse being metered out to ‘No’ voters or the defacing and destruction of ‘No ‘ vote signs and posters ? and don’t try the ‘they did it first ‘ crap as your lot is supposed to be the grown ups in this B/s vote !
“So ? we are all anti Scottish to you even though most of our parliamentarians are scots !”
Now Mat, exactly where did I say you “are all anti- Scottish”.

Needless to say I’m a seller of that price.
Let the Scottish go , I have been waiting for this day for over 20 years. Its win win for England , No Labour governments for years , if ever . When they go bankrupt ,who the fuck in England cares , they voted for it , let them sort it out . End of . Goodbye, to the anti English, racist bigots .
a quarter past 12 seems to about right,although 9 o’clock is prob nearer the mark
I find it a bit upsetting that all the parties are bending over themselves to give the Scots even more powers if they vote NO. Surely someone should consult the poor English tax payer before deciding on this. I want to keep the union, but we need to tell our cold weather friends that they cant have something for nothing. As for the Scot MPs in Westminster voting on English issues, you can forget that one in future whatever the outcome.

Not really – there is great disparity between the relative strength of the armies, not to mention that England could call upon far greater reserves than Scotland.

Did anyone hear Radio 4’s “Agree to differ” programme on “Jerusalem” repeated on 6th September ? Reefah Zaidah was one of the guests on the programme . She was introduced as a Palestinian performing artist and a human rights activist . But you can imagine the often repeated slander and lies against Israel on this programme (See BBCwatch .org) as the BBC did not tell you that she works for the PACBI and campaigns for the dismantling of the Jewish State as well as being one of the prominent lunatics BDS (Boycott ,Divestment and Sanctions) activist against Israel . See http://verygoodnewsisrael.blogspot.co.il/2014/09/bds-means-boycott-everything.html
The idea of the prog. is to shed light on an issue and to seek areas of possible agreement. The prog failed terribly – BBCWatch correctly tears it to pieces. The Palestinian screecher was bad enough – but the chairman was decidedly anti-Israel, pretending to be fair but actually completely wrong on a whole set of historical and political facts.
Beware the Tedd Petruna AirTran Flight 297 hoax email which is doing the rounds.
It’s very relevant to us because it’s an allegation that a group of Muslims acting very strangely on a plane were asked to get off after what appears to be a terrorist dry run.
The reports at the time talked about one man only being removed, and then being allowed back on again at which point several other passengers opted not to fly with him.
Do not believe the hoax, even though it is plausible and the kind of thing the media might well do to protect the brown eyed boys.

Are you confused by what is going on in the Middle East?
Are you confused by what is going on in the Middle East? Let me explain. We support the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIS.We don’t like ISIS, but ISIS is supported by Saudi Arabia who we do like. We don’t like Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but ISIS is also fighting against him. We don’t like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIS. So some of our friends support our enemies, some enemies are now our friends, and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies, who we want to lose, but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win. If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they could be replaced by people we like even less.And all this was started by us invading a country to drive out terrorists who were not actually there until we went in to drive them out. It’s quite simple, really.
Do you understand now? :-\
Your last sentence is simply incorrect. There was intense propaganda at that time which many believed as the lies (and just as relevant the omissions of the truth) saturated the media as well as the BBC. It was difficult to think independently at the time unless you spent a lot of time researching for what was really going on……and biasedbbc was not there to help!
I dont think so many people believed the lies, I certainly didnt nor did the 250000 odd who marched in London. It was only Blair and Bush it seems to me, actually Bush didnt either, so just TB!
