Astonishing and highly disproportionate……

An independent consultation suggested that the corporation could be given access to “new data sources” to help make collection of the charge more efficient.

A spokesman confirmed that as well as publicly available records, the databases could include information from banks, utility companies and other sources as long as it was considered “proportionate”.

The data would feed into the TV licensing Authority’s database of 31 million households, which it has been building for the last 26 years.

From the Telegraph:

BBC ‘bias’ hinders immigration crackdown, says report

The BBC’s bias in favour of immigration has been a key block on the Government’s ability to tighten control on Britain’s borders, a report has claimed.

MigrationWatch UK, which campaigns for tougher migration rules, said the Corporation was guilty of a “strong bias” and even a reluctance to address issues raised by immigration.

A report also warned there was pro-immigration in parts of the Civil Service including the Treasury, “irrespective of the impact of immigration on population growth and on the lower paid”.

Did the BBC report this?

Or this…

Or even this…

Cathy Newman ‘ushered out of mosque’ on national open day

 

I can’t find a BBC report on any of those for some reason…the last one is particularly of interest as the BBC is now taking a lot of interest in it…as Cathy Newman has had to apologise after it turns out she misinterpreted events.

Funny how the BBC takes an interest when Muslims are seen to be somehow ‘wronged’ but studiously ignores Muslims acting as Muslims will wont to do due to their religious convictions.

Here’s the BBC on the trail of the ‘Islamophobic’ Cathy Newman….

Channel 4 presenter Cathy Newman sorry over mosque claims

 

The BBC now claims that this is an important story…here’s Peter Allen yesterday (12:23)…Allen says she is accused of ‘lying’…..

‘Obviously this was important as it was picked up by a lot of newspapers  [But not the BBC] and in the present circumstances, the present atmosphere, it became an important story…’

 

Not so important that they reported it from the get go.

Allen has little Owen Jones, the CeeBeebies’ mini ‘George Galloway’, on to talk about this…Jones is a flagrant bandwagon jumping opportunist who will spout any old specious claptrap from the Marxist playbook to get on TV or the radio…and here he is….and you know what…Allen laps every word up, not a word of disagreement, not a single thought entered Allen’s head that Jones might just be talking utter bollocks as he pushes the Islamist’s narrative.

“It takes two to lie: one to lie and one to listen”

Homer Simpson.

 

The trouble with Allen and his ilk is that they want to believe.

Naturally Cathy Newman’s ‘lies’ are symptomatic of a widespread attitude towards Muslims in British society, and in her position as a newsreader she should have realised the ‘background’  [Rampant Islamophobia stalking the land] Allen tells us….suggesting she shouldn’t have put out her tweet [even if it had been what actually happened].

That says a lot about BBC attitudes to the news…and explains why the above stories didn’t make it through the BBC filter…..any story that reflects badly on Muslims must be suppressed just in case people, those ignorant, stupid, prejudiced people, start to think Islam may not be compatible with life in the UK.

Ironically a counterblast to Jones playing the ‘race card’ is from a programme in a series that the BBC commissioned to persuade us that Muslims and immigration are good for Europe, and Pegida is evil.…but one programme slipped through and was distinctly ‘off-message’ ….

Craig at ‘Is the BBC Biased?’ has transcribed part of it…

When Muslims complain about ‘Islamophobia’ these days they ought to ask where this ‘phobia’ comes from. Is it unfair on Muslims if a lot of people are revolted by an Islam that spreads violence and terror and they turn away from such a religion and its followers?

The confused, misled young people who carry out terrorist attacks in the name of Allah are only part of it. Conditions in many Islamic countries are beneath human dignity. Public executions, stonings, appalling medieval practices, which are far too seldom condemned by Muslim believers. Likewise, the widespread, systematic, pitiless discrimination against women and against people of other faiths. Elementary human rights are denied in the name of a great world religion. All this cannot and should not engender any sympathy, any good will.

‘Islamophobia’ cannot be compared with anti-Semitism, which is also still part of the European mentality. ‘Islamophobia’ in Europe today is less irrational and less deep-rooted than the hatred of Jews. It is primarily the failure of Muslim elites to live out their faith and interpret it in such a way that it can be communicated to people of other faiths or none.

Above all though, violence in the name of Islam and the Koran has led to a deep alienation between Muslims and non-Muslims. What is expressed in this alienation is above all horror.

Naturally it is still ‘Islamists’ distorting a fine religion but the speaker, Turkish-German writer Zafer Senocak, was prepared to criticise Islam and Muslims…and blame them for their own actions…..he told us that it is essential to have a conversation about what is happening and Islam’s part in it…he used a quote from his father to illustrate this…

‘You can’t walk tall and strong on eggshells’

In other words sometimes you have to say things that will ‘offend’ other people or say things that are unwelcome truths in order to allow solutions to be found.

People like Owen Jones want to close down debate and do so by scaremongering about the consequences of that debate and labelling anyone who dares to venture down that route as prejudiced, racist or Islamophobic.

Curiously an example of Muslims jumping the gun and scaremongering in favour of the Islamist narrative doesn’t concern Jones….

The BBC asks…

Was it right to label Chapel Hill shootings a ‘hate crime’ so quickly?

 

Intreresting reply from the ‘lying’ Muslim activist…

The #ChapelHillShooting hashtag was started by an activist, Abed Ayoub. He’s the legal and policy director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), a lobby group based in Washington.

Q. But at the time you gave these events their interpretation on social media, you did not really know what happened?

At the time I was tweeting and others were tweeting, yes, we made the assumption given the circumstances and given the facts, that this was a hate crime. But I think – as one of my other tweets alluded to – you cannot blame the Arab and Muslim community for believing that.

Q. You are the legal and policy director of a major campaigning organisation. By jumping the gun did you undermine the credibility of the case?

No, by jumping the gun I think we opened the dialogue and conversation about the issues we’re facing in this community.

 

So it’s OK for a Muslim to whip up a potentially hugely violent reaction amongst Muslims worldwide if it ‘starts a conversation’ about ‘issues’ but Cathy Newman is crucified for making a genuine mistake?

Despite that piece of nuanced journalism from the BBC they are still pushing the ‘hate crime’ angle of the Craig Hicks killing of three Muslims dental students….

Chapel Hill murders: Residents recall victims and parking rows

Was the car park of an apartment complex the reason for a triple murder, or were cars just a pretext for a hate crime?

Ahh…so it may have been about parking but really it was about religion and race!

Interesting that the father of two of the victims claims it must have been a hate crime because Hicks came out with a gun once when arguing with the deceased…however it seems to have been his standard behaviour as another person reveals…

Michael Nam points to a parking space in the Finley Forest condominium complex in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It doesn’t look like much – a stretch of pavement and a stone marker with the word “reserved” in faded white letters. Two squashed pinecones are lying on the ground.

It meant something to Craig Stephen Hicks, though. Once when Nam parked his car there, Hicks came out of his apartment with a gun holstered on his hip. It was at about four on a November afternoon.

“I was like, ‘Is this for real?'” Nam says. “I’m not afraid of your gun, but why the hell did you bring it out?”

 

The BBC report is favouring the ‘hate crime’ narrative and looks to paint Hicks in as bad a light as possible whilst everybody else is entirely reasonable and normal.

I shall listen in to Peter Allen today to hear what Jones has to say about all this.

The BBC is always ready to show us film of white people being racist on trains, planes and automobiles…but not so keen to show the opposite….such as this…..

Three Muslims were shot dead by a man called Craig Hicks in the US and the police report says this…

Mr. Hicks has been charged with 3 counts of First-Degree Murder for the murders of;

• Deah Shaddy Barakat 23 years of age of Chapel Hill,
• Yusor Mohammad 21 years of age of Chapel Hill, and
• Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha 19 years of age of Raleigh.

Mr. Hicks is currently being held, without bond, in the Durham County Jail.

Our preliminary investigation indicates that the crime was motivated by an ongoing neighbor dispute over parking.  Hicks is cooperating with investigators and more information may be released at a later time.

“We understand the concerns about the possibility that this was hate-motivated, and we will exhaust every lead to determine if that is the case.  Our thoughts are with the families and friends of these young people who lost their lives so needlessly,” said Chief Chris Blue of the Chapel Hill Police Department

 

 

You might wonder then why the BBC choose to phrase their headline like this:

Chapel Hill suspect’s wife says murders not about religion

The wife of the man accused of killing three Muslim students said the attack was motivated by parking, not religion.

Could it be that the BBC is trying to influence how you think of this case?…it’s just the wife saying that…we can dismiss it as untrue as she’s bound to say that!

The BBC eventually gets around to the truth but still gives a lot of weight to the ‘hate crime’ possibility…

Chapel Hill Police said in a statement there had been an ongoing parking dispute but they are still investigating whether the attack was hate-motivated.

 

They then go into a lot of detail about Hick’s atheist beliefs and linking them by inplication to this killing….

Mr Hicks’ Facebook profile included a photo that read “Atheists for Equality”. He frequently posted quotes critical of religion.

He had also posted a photo on 20 January of a gun he said was loaded and belonged to him.

You might think that odd…the attempt to link atheism to some sort of anti-religious ‘terrorism’…..this is after all the BBC that goes out of its way to assure us that Islamic terrorism isn’t caused by Islam, and isn’t in fact terrorism.

Jihadwatch does a more thorough job of investigating Hicks than the enormously resourced BBC…he seems to be left wing and apparently barely mentions Islam….

On his Facebook page, Craig Hicks had a huge and revealing list of “Likes” that shows him much more preoccupied with Christianity than with Islam. He does post a chart likening “Radical Christians” to “Radical Muslims,” but that is about the extent of his mentioning of Islam at all. He likes the atheists Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Bill Maher, all of whom have criticized Islam, but his page includes none of their statements about Islam. He likes many anti-Christian groups but no groups that are critical of Islam, and he even likes a group praising Obama for supporting the Ground Zero Mosque.

From the looks of all this at least, if Craig Hicks was going to commit a hate crime, it seems much more likely that he would have targeted “right-wingers,” Republicans, evangelical Christians, etc., than that he would have targeted Muslims because they were Muslims.

 

If they are going to speculate about the shootings as the BBC does then perhaps they should base that speculation on the available evidence and that evidence points away from the anti-Muslim murderer take on this….though as we know they were right about the Boston Bombers being white supremacist right wingers.  Weren’t they?

Not as if parking disputes don’t end in death…

Harrow woman may have been murdered in ‘parking row’

A woman fatally stabbed in a north-west London street may have been attacked in a row over parking, it has emerged.

Alison Morrison, 45, was attacked in Alexandra Avenue, Harrow, on Thursday morning and died in hospital.

A man, 48, was arrested in connection with her suspected murder. Mrs Morrison was vice-chair of the area’s Safer Neighbourhood Board.

 

A man killed a woman?  Surely that is a hate crime?  Did the man hate women?

How about this?

Man, 75, kills neighbours in ‘parking row’

A pensioner killed his two elderly neighbours and then shot himself on Sunday, reportedly in a row over a parking space.

Police were called to a family home in Bielefeld, North Rhine-Westphalia, shortly before 7am to reports a man and woman had been killed by several shots to the head.

‘Pensionerphobia’?

YUSUF QARADAWI: So Constantinople has been conquered and now the second part of the prophecy remains, which is the conquest of Rome. This means that Islam will return to Europe once again.

 

The BBC went out of its way to disprove an anonymous YouTube video that spoke of the increasing Muslim demographics in Europe.

The BBC spent a lot of time and effort to counter those ‘myths’ about Muslim demographics….the Muslim birthrate…

Debunking a YouTube hit

There is a striking similarity between the extraordinarily scary, dark and evil North Korea and the BBC….’A state that is more like Hitler’s Germany than any other state in the world, It is extraordinarily scary, dark and evil.’

North Korea doesn’t want its population watching films and reading journalism that might open its eyes to the real world outside the bubble imposed by the regime.

Similarly for the BBC which imposes its Big Brother approach to censoring the news in a similarly brutal fashion…not with a bullet to the back of the head but with a bit of character and reputational assassination…..ala the EDL’s Tommy Robinson or UKIP’s Farage.

The BBC also omits those telling truths from the News if they reveal a truth that the BBC doesn’t want you to hear and which might influence your thinking along unacceptable lines.

The BBC is very keen for you to understand that Islam is not a threat to your way of life and is a religion that has little influence over the UK’s political, social and cultural norms.

Which is why the BBC fills the airwaves with programmes about Islam to prove that Islam has no such dominance.  So much so in fact that other religions have noticed…

Sikhs and Hindus accuse BBC of pro-Muslim bias

Which makes it very odd that the BBC should have ignored this latest report…

Number of ‘Muslim’ children in Britain doubles in a decade

One in 12 schoolchildren in England and Wales are now officially classed as Muslim after a decade which saw the number of followers of Islam surge by just over 1.1 million, according to the most detailed study of its kind ever published.

 

Not the first time the BBC has ignored evidence of a rapidly rising Muslim population…

Muslim Demonisingraphics?

The latest evidence tells us of an ‘unprecedented’ rise in a single ethno-religious group though the the Muslim Council of Britain ‘warns against “alarmist” interpretations of the rise adding: “A section of the society comprising one in 20 of persons in the overall population can hardly ‘take over’.”

Well as the report makes clear that will rapidly rise to 1 in 12 with the current birthrate.

Read and take heed…..

Labour’s pink battleaxe bus is on the road fighting for wimin’s rights and the BBC is naturally ready to explore the issues, raised by Labour, using the controversial pink colour as its ice breaker to get the converstaion going in the right direction.

That ‘controversy’ about the bus’s colour was pretty much dismissed by the BBC…can’t imagine them doing that if it had been the Torys who had come up with such a vehicle to campaign for women’s rights.

Forgetfulness is what preserves our dignity…from 2009….

“Harriet Harman was making a very serious point actually about how we ensure that we as parents give girls the best possible opportunities and that we don’t stereotype girls into forever taking a very passive and pink role in life.

 

The presenters I heard discussing this had obviously read Harman’s interview in the Huffington Post where she replies to one question  “Well it doesn’t have big eyelashes on the front.” as they mentioned the eyelashes….they also mentioned the fact that there were three drivers, and that two were women….and they thought that Labour must have had lots of focus group discussions….all points out of the interview…..“We’ve had lots of doctrinal discussions, such as: should we be alright with a male driver?”

What they didn’t bother telling us was who provided at least one of the drivers as Harman revealed in the interview….

“Unite has provided us with a driver and blow me down they’ve managed to find a woman with one of these licenses.

So Labour’s puppet master and banker, the Unite Union, provided a driver……just how much more help is Labour getting from Unite and other Unions?  And how much of this help is provided in a way that is designed to get around the rules on election funding for political parties?

One little point and it raises many more serious issues…..Labour’s favourite tactic is to make a lot of noise about Tory donors and the BBC is happy to mention that in passing…..so here is the BBC’s chance to do some investigating of just how the Union’s are funding Labour under the radar.

A discarded idea for a colour schematic for the bus….

You can’t really get a better analysis of this effort by Labour than Dan Hodges’ ridiculing of it...as he says whilst Harman is off having chats with wifies around their kitchen tables Labour’s men are at the British Chambers of Commerce, setting out Labour’s vision for business and plans for the macroeconomy....The idea the Labour Party is blazing a trail for women is one of the biggest jokes in British politics.

Just another idea for the BBC to explore.

Back in 2009 pink was bad…

She went on: “It’s about not funnelling girls into pretty, pretty jobs, but giving them aspirations and challenging them to fulfil their potential.

Let’s face it. Nichola Sturgeon’s speak a language the BBC really loves and no, I am not talking Scottish! Her third rate socialism, driven by a hatred of England, resonates with the BBC and it encourages them to puff out this glowing item on her demands of the Westminster Parliament.  She waffles on about how “austerity” isn’t working and yet the BBC does not deign it fit to simply point out that with the UK being the best performing economy in the G7, “austerity” would seem to be delivering something other nations are proud of. The truth is that the BBC and the SNP can rally around these illiterate meme about “austerity” not working. Here in Northern Ireland where there has bee NO Welfare reform(!!!) the BBC faithfully repeats the mantra about the crushing austerity and voices like my own who point out that this is incorrect are simply ignored or mocked. The BBC itself has a culture of Spend Spend Spend and so I suppose it feels a sense of kinship with the goons in the SNP and Sinn Fein who all seek to subvert economic common sense and live outside of what can be afforded.

Time for a new one of these. Here you go, the floor is yours! Detail the egregious bias of the BBC here!

We had a look at the BBC’s FOOC’s report on the looting of China’s Summer Palace in 1860 and concluded they had neglected an essential part of the story…the torture and killing of British hostages by the Chinese that led to the burning of the palace.

FOOC has revisited this story (17 mins 30 sec) and expanded on the events to include the killing of the hostages.

Kind of important as China itself refuses to admit the killings and uses the destruction and looting of the Summer Palace as an anti-Western diatribe to stir up the Party faithful and keep them onside.

Shame the BBC felt obliged to toe the Chinese line originally.
