START THE WEEK OPEN THREAD

Monday arrives and so does this new Thread. Anyone catch an interview with an Amnesty spokesman on Today this morning. He was wriggling like mad trying to distance his organisation from the Jihad apologists in Cage and was lobbed far too many soft ball questions. The BBC treats Amnesty with kid gloves and I can recall doing a BBC debate with Moazzam Beggs. He was accompanied to the studio by the local Amnesty Rep.

    Watching Paint Dry is BBC Notion of Good TV
    Since the BBC has blocked out any dynamics that would see them making creative and interesting programmes, they’ve borrowed an idea from Norway realising they can provide hours of TV viewing for very little cost and offer their viewers an excuse for doing so.

    Anybody who would actually watch a barge going downstream on TV for hours, instead of going out for a country walk themselves, really needs their head examined, but this is what the BBC think of as providing quality TV.

    What bullshit will they come up with next?
    Perhaps just a small light in the centre of the TV, like we used to get when we switched off a TV, and they can call it meditation.

    Nah, that’s too creative for them, but it would be an improvement over their usual content.
    Not exactly fast-forward: BBC launches ‘slow TV’ season that includes two-hour film of a canal boat trip with no voiceover

    *BBC Four Goes Slow series also features three-hour National Gallery tour
    *Third programme will see half-hour shows on traditional craftsmanship
    *Series designed to relax viewers has been inspired by ‘slow TV’ in Norway
    *This has included 12 hours on knitting and a seven-hour train journey

      I think people underestimate the challenges involved in this type of programming. Somehow the BBC have to make this voiceless barge journey reflect modern, vibrant, diverse, multicultural Britain. Will ethnic minorities be fully represented? Same sex couples? The disabled? The faithful at prayer? How will Britain’s industrial child abuse heritage, so recently highlighted by David Cameron, be reflected? Global warming? It’s not easy, people, but I’m sure the BBC “have got it just about right” with this one.

      You’re mistaking the beeb for a legitimate broadcasting organisation. It is nothing of the sort.

      It exists for propaganda purposes and as a gravy train.

      Another way of looking at it is one big pension fund and expense account, with tv, radio and web production facilities tagged-on.

      At any rate the output is necessarily going to be overwhelmingly shit, which of course it manifestly is.

    With three-quarters of our legislation coming from Brussels there’s not a great deal left for our MPs to do. ‘You’d be surprised how much free time I have’. Not really, Right Honourable Gentlemen, I wouldn’t – not when I hear on BBC tv news that there’s a ‘committee of MPs’ looking into the disadvantage of summer babies vis a vis winter babies.

    Now the BBC does love a supposed grievance and I predict this won’t be the last we hear of this gumpf.

    A common purpose-style she-comrade comes on and tells us we ought to ‘age-adjust tests’.

    The BBC sofa bunnies have their main attention on the upcoming new Poldark puff piece and something about a female snooker player, so they nod and accept the premise because the Citizeness seems pretty convincing. Gosh, the Beeboids must be well used to nodding and agreeing at many a staff training seminar.

    The only problem with age-adjusting tests that our Willy Turned-Ball can see is that this obviously good idea might ‘take years to implement’.

    Ah the bug bear of the ‘progressive’ vis a vis the out and out marxist – it does take time, don’t it Bill….

    Having accepted we ought to adjust for age – what next to adjust for?

    What other supposed inequalities are to be ironed out by positive discrimination?

    Tony Livesey gave us an insight into BBC 5 Live office culture and the house view of ‘Englishness’ with his off the cuff remark:

    “I don’t see why we need to express our nationality, we’re only English by default”

    I now boycott the station but I used to notice Scotsman Nicky Campbell and various plastic paddy female presenters up there in Salford had a somewhat more nuanced attitude to their own perceived national heritage.

    What can we expect from a broadcast corporation with a lefty PC global ambition but a tad embarrassed that its funding comes from the English? Bite the hand that feeds. Best pretend England doesn’t exist. Play up this movable mix and match concept of nationality.

    This fits: “In Lemn Sissay’s Homecoming the poet, author and broadcaster Lemn Sissay explores what “home” means through poetry, conversation and stand-up. Home is surely not just a physical location – it’s people, memories, feelings. It’s not home if you don’t belong there; that’s just where you live”

    “Call for national debate on Muslim sex grooming”. The paper quotes a landmark report which points out “a disproportionate number of muslim men… Are being convicted of using and selling young teenagers for sex”.

    Not a single word of that was reported by the BBC. That part of the Serious Case Review was meticulously censored by the BBC, yet it’s the most vital bit. That fact is a national scandal.

    Islam doesn’t regard sex with children as wrong. Sharia law permits it. It’s not “abuse” – it’s islam. And it’s incompatible with Western, civilised values.

    As Truthdoctor points out, the Oxfordshire serious case review was reported in depth by both the BBC and Channel 4 news yesterday. Both channels have a left- wing, pro-immigration bias but at least C4 had the honesty to mention the ethnicity/religion of the perpetrators of the abuse. The BBC never mentioned it once even though the story was top of their TV news schedule.
    When will the BBC stop trying to cover up this issue in such a gauche way? Do they think the British public don’t know that gang-led abuse of girls is overwhelmingly a Muslim Asian/Somali on White phenomenon? Do they think that they can somehow hide it from us? There was a big debate about the BBC cover-up at the time when the Rochdale/Derby/ Oxford/Rotherham cases were first reported and yet the BBC’s behaviour persists.

    I then looked at the actual OSCB report itself. The word “muslim” appears 4 times. The word “Pakistani” appears 20 times.

    The report says the perpetrators are mainly muslim and says;

    “This needs to be researched and understood at a national level given both its importance and the sensitivities of any conclusions. It cannot be parked as too potentially sensitive or inflammatory to peruse openly at that level”. (Para 8.79)

    The BBC is guilty of the most despicable censorship and is doing the exact opposite of what the report calls for. The BBC is wilfully concealing important key findings from the public to serve its own left, liberal politically correct agenda.

    Just listening to moaners hour on radio 4 and the insane dance around the perpetrators of child rape. At one point the interviewer sheepishly says of course we haven’t mentioned the perpetrators, and in a noticeably hushed & rushed voice whispers “they were Asian” !
    NO! they weren’t Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, etc etc They were PAKISTANI MULSIM MEN, and the whole of their community knew what was going on and took a conscious decision not to intervene.

    The way that the BBC has tiptoed around this issue shows that the insane Politically Correct thinking in councils like Rotherham is despite the BBC own Paedophile support in the past, alive and well in the corporation. I have no doubt that if a PAKISTANI MUSLIM paedophile gang were operating in the BBC, that it would be covered up and denied in exactly the same way certain left wing council have done.

    The inability to address this widespread criminal activity just shows how PC and left wing the BBC is.

    The bBC, its continuing whitewashing of ‘Jihad Mohamed’ into being only a victim and not even half the story:
    ‘Jihadi John’s’ father Jasem Emwazi ‘in state of shock’
    The bBC have managed to grab an interview with Jihad Mohameds dad in..Kuwait. Here in the country he ran away from in 1994 in which to find asylum in the UK, we find he has returned in which find safety .

    IN the interview the bBC relates how the father is shocked and that for his safety he has been placed in a safe house by the Kuwaiti authorities . Here is what the Guardian newpaper has to say on the matter:
    Mohammed Emwazi’s father: no proof my son is Isis executioner
    The father of Mohammed Emwazi has been reported as saying there was no proof his son was the Islamic State (Isis) executioner and claiming that a number of “false rumours” were circulating.

    Jassem Emwazi told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas: “There is nothing that proves what is being circulated in the media, especially through video clips and footage, that the accused is my son Mohammed, who is being referred to as the alleged executioner of Daesh (Isis).”

    The paper said it spoke to the father of Kuwait-born Emwazi at a secret location. It was his fullest media interview since it emerged that his son was the jihadi who appeared in the videos depicting the killings of several western hostages.

    “I have a message to the Kuwaiti people that many of the rumours are false,” he said. “Because I felt that some people have believed it, I have assigned a lawyer to defend me and to prove … that what is being said is untrue.”

    And here is what the Daily Mail is saying:
    The family fled Kuwait after the first Gulf War, claiming persecution because they were seen to favour the Iraqi invasion in 1990;
    They claimed asylum in the UK and won refugee status in 1996;
    Five years later they were made British citizens and then started travelling back to Kuwait;

    Yet nobody at the bBC has wondered why a family of asylum seekers from Kuwait have run back to Kuwait in which to state that they will sue people for saying their son is a murderer

    The bBC, the propaganda arm for intolerant Islam.

    What a disappointing article. The title is a fraud. You neither establish that misunderstanding is growing not offer any explanation of how that may be caused. And then you go on to tar all Americans with the gun culture brush, despite the clear divide that exists there. Very poor.

    The bBC and its leftwing staff, traitors to the country and our allies.

      Funny how the Fascist left always comes up with the excuse especially for their brown eyed boys – well they’re not all like that, but then abandons it when it comes to white people.
      I hate the use of this phrase because it’s so mealy mouthed and asinine. It only takes one person out of the worlds population for it to be true, and how do they know that “they’re not all like that” unless they’ve been there and asked every single person?

      One lunatic I confronted over this was asked “not all Germans in the 1940s were Nazi supporters, in fact less than 40% voted for them, are you suggesting that we shouldn’t have gone to war against Hitler” – pause to ‘think’ – “No we shouldn’t have fought Hitler because not all Germans were like that”.
      A train of thought which can only lead in time to the ‘thinkers’ extermination. (and a good thing too!)
