    Posted this on the old thread just as the new one came online- apologies for multiple posting.

    This interview on BBC3 has resulted in the interviewer losing his job, deservedly so imho. Very aggressive I thought, and not really compatible with most reasonable interviewing techniques.

        This gobshit must have been recruited from the BBC’s list of potential Socialist Worker Party candidates for journalism. Ignorant with no knowledge of the matter he is supposed to be covering and no ability to extract information about the case that was supposed to be the main subject.

      Remember only Christians and UKIP supporters can be bigots, again reverse the interview, had this been a follower of the Quran and been arguing the toss about the same thing, Lee would have definitely got the sack, although I doubt he would have been brave enough to use the word bigot.

      For once I’m with the BBC on this, they’ve called out one of their own self righteous lefty twats, fairs fair.

      Is there really any point in listening to UK radio phone ins in the expectation of an unbiased view?

        If you have not already, I urge you to read George Orwell’s essay, ‘Inside the Whale.’ In it he expertly dissects the human desire to take intellectual refuge behind slogans and dogma. Things are no different today than they were when he wrote it in the 1940s. Shouting ‘Bigotry’ is so much easier than attempting to understand an opposing argument.

        “The BBC treatment of @IainLee is a disgrace.
        If I had said what he did … and stood up to bigotry
        LBC would have praised me, not sacked me.”
        Iain Dale

        Standing up to bigots? … easy tiger 😀
        … get down the Mosque after Friday prayers, this “religion” kills homosexuals, preaches hatred of them.

          Dale is a complete see you next Tuesday. He is the apotheosis of Media World’s idea of a right-winger, therefore a total fraud, and very much Cameron-lite. I’m baffled why the normally sensible Breitbart London gives him a platform, and I only wish that dog had give him the rabid gnawing he deserved, but then again the barsteward would have probably enjoyed it.

        I have no doubt that the BBC was quite content with his bashing of Christianity and the real reason he was fired is here at 6:40 min in:

        …What he’s preaching is hatred and we don’t like hate preachers if they’re brown and they’ve got a god that comes from a different religion

        In today’s dhimmi Britain, people have been jailed for raising their voices against the Religion of Peace and Lee compounded his error by (shock, horror) mentioning the skin colour of the majority of Muslims.

        That was unforgiveable and he had to go.

        There is a certain irony to it. There he was being blindly intolerant and blind intolerance rebounded on him.

      Gosh, that was an ‘interesting’ (in the Chinese Times sense) piece to live through.

      The lady was rather between a spinning fan blade and a shit place, but she had hitched herself to that wagon. Seemed to keep her cool, so kudos for that.

      Mr. Lee however… yes, well, I have learned what ‘we all know’, that free speech is dead if he says so, and language has ‘evolved’ into his preferred new version if he says it has. What a gay day, Larry.

      Amongst a few other things.

      Not sure even the BBC could get that one about right.

      So he has lost this job, eh? Hosting HIGNFY next? Seems the SOP.

      Having listened to this “interview” I am not surprised he got canned. Firstly he is not a lawyer or a Judge and therefore he cannot pronounce on law period.
      He classifies sections of the Bible as hate speech. This in itself places the BBC in very difficult territory. Since these sections of the Bible have not been tested in a competent Court and a definitive ruling given by said court they cannot be defined as “hate speech”. By defining the interviewee as a bigot the BBC could find itself on the wrong side of a defamation case.

      She was very tolerant, but could have stopped Lee and his sixth form hectoring in his tracks with the simple retort that disapproval does not equate to hatred, and Christianity disapproves of many types of sexual proclivity and activity, so does not concentrate on homosexuality. Furthermore, he if he really does want to see hatred, he might turn his progressive gaze to those un-Christian types lobbing gays off tall buildings.

      Iain Lee was last spotted on some bit of shit on “yoof TV” alongside some Daisy Donovan, as I recall.
      Amazing that this unfunny piece of shit gets a platform on national radio, paid for by us.
      This legal woman is crap as well-but Lee is utter scum…and personnifies the Yoof culture that the BBC have long been feeding with their liberal lying shit.
      Ross/Brand…Savile and Rotherham…Lee failed in his chosen career as a “comedian”-where he was a Brand-type of funnyman( i.e-not as funny as Tom O Connors toothbrush on a bad night)-so got the BBC gig.
      I`d not have known we employed such dangleberries on the BBCs cancerous rectum, had I not heard this.

      Has he really been sacked?

      Given the BBC’s track record on ‘sackings’ it won’t be long before he is back. I believe also he’s a favourite of SKY tv who have him on reviewing the newspapers. It will be interesting to see if he continues his job with them. I’ve always thought when seeing him on that that he was a ‘wrong ‘un’.

      b) there isn’t a cat in hell’s chance of the BBC giving a similar platform to a dissenting view

      Fair play to the BBC for sacking Iain Lee. Any decent journalist would have ‘cross-examined the witness’ by asking questions about taking scripture out of context, and whether Christians should obey the spirit or letter of the law, and whether an individual should have the freedom to express an opinion if it is considered detrimental to the greater good of society, etc etc. The problem is that in order to do this, you have to be a reasonably circumspect, informed person with an understanding of logical fallacy, debate etc. A lefty stand up comedian from the 1990s isn’t really cut out for the job.

    The LA Times: Muslims in France fear reprisals after Paris jihad massacre … oooh brother
    http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-paris-attack-muslims-20151115-story.html

    Is M Abbas, going to solemnly stroll with Hollande in Paris, a walk for peace? as the Jew hating incitement monger did showing the he was “Charlie” after the last terrorist mass murder … or … is that “old news” these days?

    “After the Charlie Hebdo attacks, nothing changed. Unlimited, unscreened Muslim migration continued — including the arrival of three new Muslim “refugees” who participated in the terrorist attacks. At the Place de la Republique, a crowd of perhaps 1,000 gathered. They crowd chanted, “love is stronger than hate”. But Friday night proved that’s not true. And it won’t be true after the next attack, either.”

                      It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist, not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorise, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them. Even worse, those on the regressive left such as the odious BBC, and the idiotic Theresa May in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly not only onto themselves, but more so onto the political right thinking people in their lands, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.

                      It’s like a bad Monty Python sketch:

                      “We did this because our holy texts exhort us to do it.”

                      “No you didn’t.”

                      “Wait, what? Yes we did…”

                      “No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons because capitalism is so evil.”

                      “WHAT!? Did you even read our official ISIS statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, kuffar, blasphemers, and disbelievers.”

                      “No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.”

                      “Huh!? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims!? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being.”

                      “Nope. We the evil capitalist West created you. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We’re sorry. Punish us some more”

                      “What? Why are you apologizing? We just slaughtered you mercilessly in the streets. We targeted young unwitting civilians – disenfranchisement doesn’t even enter into it!”

                      “Listen, it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome and lashing out.”

                      “Seriously, stop taking credit for this! We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take it away from us.”

                      “No, we nourished your extremism. We accept full blame.”

                      “Allah Akbar, how many people do we have to kill around here to finally get our message across?”

        I watched the debate about the Paris murders in the House of Commons yesterday and was appalled at the number of references to ‘nothing to do with Islam’, and the support this got from the Home Secretary ‘I was at a mosque only last month, and got a warm welcome etc..’ and many of the others there, although not all.

        In the same debate at the same time there are references to the dangers of radicalisation in schools, prisons and elsewhere here. Who is carrying out the radicalisation? Muslim clerics of course, how is this terror therefore nothing to do with Islam?

        Sadly the cancer of political correctness and the desperation to sound ‘reasonable’ and to avoid any appearance of causing ‘offence’, is so deeply embedded in government and elsewhere that they have invented a perverted answer, that these people are not Muslims and not Islamists, merely members of a death cult, as if there is no connection with the religion. The answer is palpable nonsense and sickening.

        Until our leaders and representatives get their heads out of the sand and start accepting reality and the truth we, the ordinary people, will remain in grave danger.

        Following this, this morning on the BBC Newschannel we had Graham Satchell in Paris ‘interviewing’ Muslim men. I put the word interview in quotes as it was no such thing. All he did was put words in their mouths in pursuit of the BBC’s agenda that these people are victims. And guess what, the police pulled over a couple of mean nearby ‘happens all the time’ it was agreed all round. Does it? I wonder why, remind me who carried out the murders? Where do these killers and their supporters live?

        There was absolutely no searching questions from Satchell. I suppose he has now got a nice fuzzy glow, that he has helped the cause, and his friends and colleagues will think he is such a liberal hero.

      It is truly depressing that the Home Secretary can come out with such nonsense. It does us all great harm and prevents us from realising the peril this Europe of ours faces.
      To a logical mind there can only be three reasons for May’s speech.
      1. She is trying to preserve what she believes as social harmony.
      2. She is deliberately lying.
      3. She is just plain ignorant of the motives and beliefs of Isis.
      No doubt the liberal media will continue to parrot her line.
      It is wrong of her to do wehat she has done and it imperils us all.

Going with the “heir to Blair”, who has no time for real Conservatives and wouldn’t know an intelligent policy if it bit him, was the mistake.

                  A very good point RJ. It was obvious at the time of the Conservative leadership election that the BBC and other media were behind Cameron. Davis gave a decent enough speech at the conference, I know because I heard it, but when it passed through the BBC reality filter it became a disaster. Cameron came out with guff about flowers and sunshine, and suddenly he was a statesman. I found it all very suspicious at the time, and I still do. It seemed like some sort of media manipulation to get the result they wanted.

              Can you not accept that just because we cannot stand the pale imitation of Tony Blair who currently leads the conservative (in name only) party, it does not mean we support the utterly delusional and incompetent labour party.

    Interesting piece on Radio 4 PM about the Molenbeek Mosque in Belgium where nearly every European jihadi has visited or stayed prior to launching their attacks.

    Interesting for another reason too. It was featured in the Weekends Grauniad – more evidence that the BBC does get its stories from there !

    Worth a read though, because it raises far more questions than it answers, the main one being why hasn’t the Belgian government taken some more robust action !

          The Belgian police couldn’t even arrest Marc Dutreux even though they spoke to him in his house when he had kidnapped children in the cellar. They are truly useless. They have allowed a hotbed of Islamic terrorism to develop in their country and have done nothing. Belgium is a joke country and a fitting home to the EU project.

        “In 2011, Sunni Muslims accounted for the greatest number of terrorist attacks and fatalities for the third year in a row. Over 5,700 incidents were committed by Sunni Muslims, responsible for nearly 56 percent of all attacks and about 70 percent of 12,533 fatalities.*
        Another 24 percent of the fatalities are on Shi´a Muslims. So in 2011, Muslims were responsible for 94 percent of the fatalities in terrorist attacks. Since 2011, with ISIS on the scene, the number of the fatalities –victims of the Muslim terrorist attacks- sharply grew, together with Muslims´ share in the world terrorism that is steadily closing in on 100%.
        In 2013, according to the US Department of State, a total of 9,707 terrorist attacks occurred worldwide, resulting in more than 17,800 deaths and more than 32,500 injuries. In addition, more than 2,990 people were kidnapped or taken hostage. Information about perpetrators was reported in source materials for 32 percent of terrorist attacks in 2013.
        And of these 32 percent, or 17,800 deaths, only three Muslim terrorist groups, namely the Taliban, ISIS and Boko Haram, were responsible for 5,655 fatalities, or for 31.76 percent! That means that 31.76 percent out of the 32 percent of terrorist attacks which had reported information about the attackers were perpetrated by only three Muslim terrorist groups, out of a good 50 more that exist in our turbulent world!

        Muslim terrorists can be proud: their share in world terrorist attacks is now close to 100%.”

        and that was 2 years ago, so Islam s contribution to peace means its down to 2% ?
        means that we must all feel incredibly safe, non! ………. no wait!

        It only work if you believe that a terrorist, by definition, cannot be a proper Muslim: and so by becoming a terrorist he/she has rejected true Islam. On the other hand I seem to recall that the leader of ISIS had a PhD in Islamic studies and so knew a damn sight more about the teachings and meaning of Islam than a BBC presenter – and there’s a bit of a clue in the name “Islamic State”.

        Looking at this list I’d say 99% of attacks in 2015 were carried out by Muslims.

    I was at a mate’s house last night. He has a few guns and we were firing them off in his house (we were drunk) trying to hit a cup balanced on a basket. I’ve not seen him for years but we were mates at school from way back. He was always a nutter but he’s the sort of person you want on the barricades with you. He’s a bailiff. I ask him how many are Paki’s. About 80% he says.

    I digress. I’ve refrained from commenting on Paris until my anger has subsided. It’s still there though. I would have machine-gunned that twat Hugh Edwards if I’d been there the other night. No mention of the ‘i’ or the ‘m’ word and even then, about 10 minutes in, it was the weaselly ‘Islamist’.

    I knew the narrative it would take on the night of the massacre. A French-’Algerian’ journalist i.e. a muslim was talking about the lack of ‘integration’. Not their integration but OURS, ffs. They choose to live among their own kind and it’s our fucking fault. Straight away, it was we haven’t got any jobs because no one will employ us. Cry me a river. Who’s going to employ someone who takes 5 fucking prayer breaks a day. They just want everything on a plate for them. Add to this, the ‘Islamophobia’ angle and the ‘right wing backlash’ and it had me reaching for my dock martens to kick the TV in. It’s not as if it’s just the BBC either, they were all at it. You’d think Marine Le Pen had pulled the frigging trigger. It’s never their fault, they never take any responsibility for their actions and it’s always OUR fault. You bend over backwards for them and it’s OUR fault.

    The most vomit inducing is this laughable twitter bollocks that seems to be the answer to everything these days. That’s it. No concrete action but a twatter campaign and lighting up the Sydney Opera House. Even my friends on Facebook are at it, changing their photo’s to the French Tricolore. That will achieve precisely nothing. The politicians will continue to hand-wring, the lefties will deflect and we’ll continue down the unstoppable path to self destruction.

    If I had the money, I’d be gone from this dump. The trouble is, no one wants us anymore. Being a blond, white anglo-saxon protestant these days is the equivalent of being handed the black spot in life’s lottery. I heard the other day that New Zealand doesn’t want us anymore because they want to be diverse. Jesus, what was so un-diverse about a society comprising of Maoris, Pacific Islanders, Anglos, Micks, Jocks, Taffs and the fucking French. (Yes, they were there too)

    Anyway, coming back to my mate. He’s the sort of person you need by your side because as sure as night following day, things are gonna get a lot worse before they get better. If I’m still around I’ll be there with him. Hopefully, it’ll happen while I’m relatively young and fit.

      Nice post, Doyle.

      I appear to share a similar outlook on life.

      I’m sick of seeing a bunch of uneducated morons preaching multiculturalism on social media.

      I wouldn’t mind if they’d done any kind of research on Islam, but they’re honestly just regurgitating the same old lies that the BBC continue to spout.

      A Facebook post went viral yesterday, gaining thousands of likes in the process. Something along the likes of: “Mr.Islam who runs your corner shop isn’t a terrorist. Mrs.Islam who lives next door isn’t a terrorist. Miss.Islam who takes your order isn’t a terrorist.”

      Basically, the post was implying that not all Mulims are bad. Erm, no shit!

      It’s this kind of patronizing, self-indulgent posting that really infuriates me.

      Of course there are good Muslims, but that misses the point entirely.

      What the people of this country desire is an open debate about Islam. We want ‘moderate’ Muslims to condemn the savagery committed in the name of their God. As we all know, to even dare suggest such a thing would be classed as ‘Islamaphobia’.

      And for that very reason, we will NEVER come to a peaceful solution. Hell, we’ll never even get to the stage of negotiation, never mind a solution.

      Tensions are rapidly increasing within Europe, and even though we’re governed by traitorous filth, the patriots of this country will rise tallest in the end.

      An unedifying and brutal solution is unnecessary. However, given the way things currently stand, I imagine it’s only a matter of time before violence breaks out

    If I can make an analogy about the situation we face today in Europe with Islamic Jihad, and the Muslim communities.

    It is like a jar of sand where some of the grains are lethally radio active. They make the other grains near to them also radio active and this extends from them.

    Our governments current policy might be described as attempting to pick these particles out of the jar without disturbing the sand, the ones it removes it keeps in a different jar for a while, and then releases them back in to the jar of sand after a while.

    It doesn’t know where the radio active particles are, nor how many there are, it only seems to recognise them when they cause damage .
    The only sure fire way to protect people from the danger would be to dispose of the entire jar – which is something the government don’t seem to want to contemplate.

    . The BBC need to go-best not any of the lazy fuckwits back into the country whilst they`re sniffing for Semtex as they do some early Xmas Shoppinge-while pretending to be journalists…France had the Occupying forces in 41, why do we let Snow and Maitlis do the very same on French soil…they`ve suffered enough.
    But as ever-blame “security glitches, not letting in enough Muslims,removing Jihadi John”-ANYTHING but F***Islam.
    I myself think it`s Muslims natural anger at us all not drawing Muhammad cartoons…when we draw Jesus and Buddha…Islamophobic eh?
    3. Frankie-Hollande-Howard?…he`ll be Tito when or if we ever get Corbyn into power.
    But look-Emily`s meeting someone who will hug you in Paris-take THAT Isis!
    Next week-free shaves with cut-throats from Isis-ah Allah Akbar( Islam for Bless!)
    Emily doesn`t want Schengen questioned though-but maybe the sentiment needs reflection…her words…
    What WOULD Islam actually HAVE to do before the BBC tells us that Muslims are a problem? is that dirty bomb the pink alert?

    Amused that Newsshite is mentioning Molenbeek. It was mentioned on German TV a day or so ago. I had no idea what the significance was. I Googled it and landed at a site that describes the most dangerous tourist destinations in the world. It listed areas of Brussels like Andrecht and Molenbeek as highly dangerous. At first, it seemed fanciful that you could live that dangerously in Brussels. But tourists without a political axe to grind say that men walk around in broad daylight with AK-47s and automatic pistols. Tourists that stray into the area are beaten up and robbed and when they complain to the police, they openly admit that the area is too dangerous to patrol. So Newsshite claims that Muslims in the area are harassed by police are nonsense. If you look a little further you find that local politics are Jihadist and Jihadist parties stand for election.
    “Radicalisation” in Molenbeek is supposedly the fault of the internet and the prisons. Why is it then that only people with a Muslim background are “radicalised”. Anyone with a religous turn of mind will, of course, want to deepen their faith, this is not radicalisation. Unfortunately, living one’s faith as a pious Muslim in Britain is dangerous for the rest of the population. At the most basic level Islam means theocracy or in practice rule by those who interpret the holy texts. This is not compatible with democracy. The wishy washy C of E with its soporific platitudes means that most
    of the indigenous population with religious propensities have no idea what extremes religious fervour can reach.

    After the footy on Friday evening, I received the emerging news from ITV of the terrible events in Paris. I switched to (b)BBC News 24, as is my habit, to see how it would be informing the public. Tim Wilcox was on. Bad timing for Tim. I stomached his reporting in January, when Muslims murdered cartoonists, Jews and police officers, (for being cartoonists, Jews and police officers), who all had it coming (especially the Jews). My blood temperature went up, so I tuned in to LBC radio instead – and after some clear expressions of concern regarding Islam, those ‘moderate Muslim’ voices soon filled my ears with silky taqiyya.

    I couldn’t face up to receiving reporting from the BBC, who no doubt had a ban on the word ‘Muslim’ or ‘Islam’ – on account of the young Muslims (that’s them guys who submit to Islam by the way BBC) in Paris murdering people rather than engaging in the baking of a Chocolate Pecan Tart or a batch of Mokatines. Instead, I reviewed the comments section of Breitbart and Guido Fawkes, where a variety of links to a variety of sources of information can always be found. The avoidable, predictable tragedy of a human catastrophe on the soil of a once civilised country – France. Immeasurable pain and suffering.

    Before 1.30 in the morning this offering from the Guardian was rushed out:

    http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/14/paris-attacks-leave-france-in-trauma-fearing-for-the-future

    The mind-set of the Guardian in its adherence to the doctrine of Multiculturalism has morphed into ambivalence to human life. This is also obviously reflected in their reporting on Israel. Whilst those who regularly criticise the BBC and Guardian, scrutinise the consistency and humanity in their own positions as well as those they criticise, the same cannot be said of the Guardianistas. It appears that the flawed self-righteous populist arrogance of ‘the Left’ which sustains their appeal to a significant minority of voters is exposing its essential immorality. The inability of the leftist’s insulated mind-set to doubt themselves (Descartes), to scrutinise their own argument (Aristotle), to accept empirical evidence (The scientific method) has led them to perceive all those who disagree with them on Multiculturalism; on Climate Change; on Islam’s peaceful nature; on feminism, on gay ‘marriage’, as not having a valid opinion which may have merit. This (their compounded inabilities) is achieved through branding those who have a different opinion (often a rational and reasoned opinion informed by evidence, facts and a functioning moral compass) as ‘far right’, or one of an extensive compendium of words ending in ‘ist’. Thus, the insulation of their intellectual development from a wider pool of thought has led them to their current closed loop of thought, like a cat chasing its own tail.

    So soon after hundreds of young people, out to enjoy their Friday night in Gay Paris, end up in hospital, or in body bags, Natalie Nougayrede gets out a ‘piece’ subtitled Muslims will increasingly fear being associated with terror; far right groups may fuel more hatred . Such moral relativism could be construed as a disease – an inability to understand that an ideology that not only advocates, but actually does: murder people; rape women; rape girls; rape boys; stone women; behead apostates; execute gays and on Friday 13th November 2015, execute young people in Paris – is wrong, (or ‘left’?), and that those who wish for their communities (and countries) to be devoid of such activity are right. Yes, this Moral Relativism pervading the BBC and the Guardian is a mental disease I suggest.

    For an insight into some sobering statistics I would point you to this offering from Stefan Molyneux, who is an acquired taste (I like him and give him a pittance for his work), but I highly recommend that this be viewed from start to finish even if you don’ like his style. You will be armed with more facts and a greater ability to understand what we all need to do in the UK – elect different politicians. Otherwise, the futures of our children and grandchildren look grim.

    “….Come senators, congressmen
    Please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway
    Don’t block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt
    Will be he who has stalled
    There’s a battle outside
    And it is ragin’
    It’ll soon shake your windows
    And rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin’.
    Bob Dylan.

    And Carswell’s right too. Again. Wisely chosen words:

    http://www.talkcarswell.com/home/islamism-cannot-be-appeased/2914

    UKIP have answers, because they confront the questions. Vote Leave, Vote UKIP, join UKIP, and get involved in our domestic politics. That’s of course if you give a damn!

      I am sorry, I must be reading something wrong somewhere, but after such an eloquent and erudite passage of exquisite truth, I see that it ends with support for UKIP… I was sure, (because the intellectual giants of the Guradian and BBC who comprise…, how did you phrase it, “the leftist’s insulated mind-set to doubt themselves (Descartes), to scrutinise their own argument (Aristotle), to accept empirical evidence (The scientific method)” keep imploring us all to believe that UKIP supporters are thick, unqualified simpletons.

      Funny how I have never found any recent examples of such beautifully written prose, filled with so much self-evident truth, from any of the left wing “opinion framers and taking heads” as I have found in your extraordinarily satifying comment.

      Thank you for commenting, from a fellow UKIPPER.

      Just saw news clip by BBC about how these mass murderers may well be pretending to Syrian refugees! My word who’d have thunk it? All the left/medias bogeymen have been saying as much Orban, Le Pen and Farage. Even the those clowns, you know, you and me…The general public have been trying to tell our elite. But we are all of course reactionaries and racists. We are all a bit thick.

      And even as 130 people lie in mortuaries the Left are beginning the narrative about “Right wing backlash” and “how could it have been prevented?”

        Yes, the “spontaneous outpourings of grief” and trite expressions of solidarity are beginning to wear a bit thin so soon after the last “spontaneous outpouring of grief” and “Je suis Charlie”-ism. No one I’ve heard interviewed ever seems even slightly angry about this grotesque atrocity . It’s as if a “collective battered wife” syndrone has been induced. People seem compelled to “kiss the fist that punches them”. I was late with John’s dinner and he smashed me in the face. I deserved it. I know he really loves me. I suppose expressions of rage, anger or hate are considered to be too vulgar and unnuanced by Beeboids. Frank Gardner’s response is the one expected by the BBC. You were shot by Jihadists weren’t you Frank? Yes but I have no anger towards Muslims in general.I’m much better than that. That kind of primitive emotion is beyond me.
        The BBC is worried about the “right wing backlash”. But all the real neonazis are at home, drinking beers, wearing their SS uniforms in front of the TV watching the BBC do their “radicalisation” for them. The BBC ROP pudding is so overegged that no one can taste it without vomiting.

    Iain Lee got sacked, sorry, I mean resigned from BBC Radio WM in the West Midlands about six months ago (probably the worst local radio station in the country). He’s not as right on as he likes to think he is, judge for yourself from this report in The Guardian in August 2014, when he got into trouble for his comments then.

    “The BBC has apologised after the local radio presenter Iain Lee told his producer to “go and do the black and Asian show” during a spoof on-air row.
    Lee, the former presenter of Channel 4’s 11 O’Clock Show, had what appeared to be a heated six-minute on-air exchange with his producer on the BBC’s Three Counties Radio breakfast show, which airs in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
    The row ended with the producer walking out of the studio and Lee telling him: “Go on, go and do the black and Asian show. Bye bye.”

    The BBC later described the row as banter, but said Lee’s comments had been unacceptable.

    Last Friday, PM David Cameron issued a statement regarding a US air-strike against a vehicle in the IS held city of Raqqa, that is believed to have killed the notorious “Jihadi John,” British citizen Mohammed Emwazi, who was responsible for the beheading of at least 7 known western hostages, including 3 Britons, two Japanese and two Americans, who were mainly journalists and aid workers. This “targeted killing” will be applauded in the West, although when the same approach was used, and indeed pioneered, by Israel, it was widely criticized as “extra-legal killing.” What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander, when it suits their purpose the British and Americans are quite happy to use this method to rid the world of their terrorist enemies. Let not the BBC and others from the left criticize Israel when it does the same.

    Overpaid, overwrought and over there

    That was the BBC’s Graham Satchell in Paris for Breakfast tv this morning

    Did he get in a tangle with his lines, come over all light-headed for lack of breakfast and a late night? – or as our Bill Turnedball in the studio would have us think as he covered for his pal – was he just choked up with the hard work and the emotion of it all?

    Our Graham had shown us his day’s work – he had been busy on the streets ‘meeting young Muslim men’ (not me gov!) and was then keenly expaining to camera how the CND logo on some street tribute was in fact ‘the symbol of peace’.

    Graham now tried to sum up with a description of the Eifel tower in national colours and how this was a sign of hope – and that was when the poor chap corpsed. He then edged away from the camera – and either threw up or feighted clean away?

    If this is the calibre of the guys, then bring on the girls. Laura K not only looks like a zombie – it would take a head shot to stop her.

    Weren’t these blokes brought up on dreams of speaking truth to power and dodging the Kong in Nam whilst filing a report?

    Give our Graham the Princess Di Award for reportage – a statue of a golden tear drop

    Perhaps that’s how the BBC should go out – not with a bang but with a whimper.

    Labour MPs have criticised their leader Jeremy Corbyn after he said he was “not happy” with a police policy of “shoot-to-kill” during a terror attack.
    At a party meeting one MP accused him of ” misunderstanding” the threat, while another called him a “disgrace”.

    Labour MP John Mann asked Mr Corbyn if he was saying “terrorists with Kalashnikovs should not be shot by security forces in such situations”.

    Ed Davey? I never feel sorry for him. He gets far too much respect. As Energy Minister in the Coalition Government he was responsible for our electricity & gas bills increasing by £120 by 2017. The total idiot was complaining that the Conservatives – six months into government – were a complete disaster on energy and renewables and that “our bills will go up”.

    Hilary Benn on Toady this morning talking about Corbyn’s opposition to any shoot-to-kill decisions.

    One minute Benn acknowledges that these decisions have to be split second ones. The next he goes on about how these decisions need to be fully investigated by committees. A relaxed time span luxury the police or army in the front line don’t of course have.

    So maybe Corbyn’s pacifism on shoot-to-kill will come to fruition in the form that our guys with their finger on the trigger will be faced with so many possible tribunals, reviews, and committees (probably chaired by someone from ‘Stop the War’) to justify any action that he might not bother and just let the slaughter continue. A bit like the fire service not helping drowning people in lakes because of the need for a proper safety assessment first, “it’s more than my job’s worth”

    Al-Beeb of course didn’t spot or didn’t choose to spot any of these inherent contradictions and logical outcomes and just gave Benn the usual easy ride.

    The reality in Paris
    “Our world seems atrophied. Kathy Shaidle describes the scene at top right as “why Paris is doomed, in one image”: a man drags his piano, decorated by a “peace” symbol, by bicycle to the Bataclan theatre, and proceeds to play John Lennon’s “Imagine”.
    What kind of parochial solipsist would think that an appropriate response a day after mass murder?
    Answer: Apparently everyone in the western world … because, of course, it “went viral”.

    It is somewhat reassuring that most of those standing around him are media hacks desperate for something to photograph. One would like to think that, were a crowd of survivors and grieving relatives present, they would smash the piano into kindling, save for the peace-symbol lid, which they would thwack the pianist over the head with.”

    One thought occurs concerning the BBC (and the rest of the MSM) coverage. Where’s the anger?

    Sure “we” are all appalled and, if this thread’s anything to go by, the contributors here are angry. But on the BBC? AFAIAA, the only angry reaction transmitted was in one of Huw’s live vox pops on Saturday night. When interviewing a couple the man said very angrily “F***k all religion” (or “this” religion). Huw quickly apologised for the language and moved in, cutting the man from the picture – and the interview – and talked at boring length to the woman whose heartwarming message was, IIRC, that it’s all horrible but Paris will survive etc etc. The man was re-interviewed for the last 5 seconds of the item and, basically, uttered a few bromides agreeing with his girlfriend (I wonder what he’d been told by Huw’s minders)

    AFAIAA that’s the first – and last – time real anger was shown in all the BBC coverage. The lesson for the BBC is not to broadcast interviews live – you might get an honest reaction. OTOH there’s a lot of Moslem anger shown or explained: as if you didn’t know it’s all our fault. Frankly I can do without the endless “cry me a river” reportage. It reduces what has happened here to the level of an unfortunate but fairly serious road accident on a foggy day on the M6: the fault lies with the fog. The drivers causing the mayhem were helpless. They couldn’t or wouldn’t slow down because they were incandescent at the news of corruption in VW’s emissions testing regime.

    The obvious is studiously ignored by both the media – particularly the BBC – and the politicos. Islamic terrorism isn’t a reaction to poverty or non-integration. To the contrary violence and thuggery is the apotheosis of Islam. Murder of the infidel and (as a bonus) raping his women is in the very warp and weft of Islam. This is a religion which started in ignorance and violence, was spread by violence and was and is maintained by violence. Until our politicians – and the BBC – admit this (or even admit its possibility) we’re doomed to endless repeats of the events in Paris. Of course, the BBC won’t tell you this or allow anyone near a microphone to tell you this. On the contrary, it is “nothing to do with Islam”. So, dear reader, forget these distressing scenes and, as Harrabin’s lies seek to persuade us daily, concentrate on the upcoming triumph of next month’s Nuremberg climate change rally in Paris. What’s the betting that the cobbled-together agreement to impoverish the West will be dedicated to those tragically murdered last Friday? That’ll get our minds off Islamic murder – until the next time.

        “Solidarity” with Paris and singing the Marseillaise at Wembley is all very well but, as my late mother used to say “fine words butter no parsnips”. Tower Bridge and the Sydney Opera House flooded in red, white and blue lights does what exactly? Does it make the French feel better about the slaughter and (what nobody in the media mentions) the public humiliation. Personally, it doesn’t make me feel better. Actually it makes me feel a bit worse: it’s a tribute to and confirmation of the impotence of the West. Flowers outside the French Embassy, the odd tricolore on railings outside French restaurants in London and saying to French friends “I feel your pain” is useless in the absence of some plan to do something about Islamic terrorism (both violent, as in Paris, or psychological as enabled by the BBC every day).

        I don’t expect the mosques of Britain to be flying the French flag. Forgive my cynicism but IMHO that would just be another aspect of taqquia. Oddly, I prefer the manifest hypocrisy of Dr T Hargey, Director, Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford and imam of the Oxford Mosque (a BBC speed-dial favourite, I think) in his letter to the Times this morning [paywall] who, in the time honoured Islamic way blames us for the Paris atrocity, viz: “While the Paris slaughter should be denounced unreservedly, France and other ex-colonial nations must be held accountable for their mendacious foreign policy in the rise of radicalism in the Middle East”. You see, it’s really all our fault. The boys from ISIS were a bit . . er . . over-enthusiastic but we’re the real villains, the real murderers.

        Working class instincts are as sharp as anybody’s. Unfortunately, some of them tend to express their views in terms which do not resonate with middle class sensibilities and the message gets lost. This lack of a voice leads to frustration and anger and support for organisations like the NF and, more recently, the BNP, because they feel they have no alternative. These organisations also attract highly unsavory types and consequently their warnings are ignored. The fact that organisations like UAF are probably worse goes unnoticed.

        The NF was a failure, obviously, but the instincts of many of its supporters were sound. They knew that large scale immigration was a bad idea but it wasn’t well articulated. But if people had taken a little more notice of them, like a dead canary in a coal mine, and tried to understand what was really going on, we wouldn’t have to face the multicultural mess we have today.

        “A MCB conference held in London on Wednesday, entitled ‘Terrorism and Extremism – how should British Muslims respond’, also heard debate over potential blasphemy laws in the United Kingdom.
        Britain’s ancient laws of blasphemy were abolished in 2008, although had largely fallen into disuse by then, given that the last successful prosecution was in 1977.
        But the issue has resurfaced in the wake of the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, and the magazine’s depictions of the Prophet Mohammed, which many Muslims deem offensive.
        Keith Vaz MP, the chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, told Al Arabiya News that he would have “no problem” with blasphemy laws being reintroduced, under certain conditions.”
        “Miqdaad Versi said it was difficult to determine where the “red line” should be when it comes to free speech.
        “Muslim communities need to be able to respond to accusations Muslims, or against the Prophet, in a more effective way,” he said. “Whether there should be legislation is something that really is a more complicated question.”

    Listening to the Toady programme this morning, I was appalled by the number of times the word Islamophobia was used, for anyone or any comment that was not ‘On song’ for the ROP. Using this as a yardstick I wonder if the BBC will have someone on condemning the item below as Islamophobic; or at least over reaction! Doubtless anyone else fearing for their lives, culture, country and daring to mention the M word will be similarly branded!

    Islamist terrorists are plotting to use they internet for “evil” by launching deadly cyber-attacks which could cripple Britain, George Osborne will warn on Tuesday.
    The Chancellor will use a speech at GCHQ to warn that Isil poses a significant “cyber threat” amid concerns that it could kill innocent people by attacking power stations, the National Grid and hospitals.
    He will say: “Isil are already using the internet for hideous propaganda purposes; for radicalisation, for operational planning too.

    Daily Politics is now waffling on about “deradicalisation”. The very idea that you have to exspend vast resources in a vain attempt to persuade Muslims not to murder their “fellow” citizens is a ridiculous proposition There is no Muslim terrorism in Japan because there are only around 50,000 Muslims who clearly understand their role in Japanese society. Stopping mass Muslim immigration now would at least prevent the problem from getting any worse. It is also ridiculous that vast amounts of man power and money are wasted playing hide and seek with hundreds of returnees from Syria. The BBC is so deluded as to think that a Jihadist who styles himself Abu Ben Bashir Al-Britani, is identifying himself as a loyal and proud British patriot. No doubt he has a Britisn passport, but as he wiould say himself this is just a useful travel document. The constant talk of “home-grown” terrorism to suggest some defect in British culture is also ridiculous. Simply being born in a country does not magically imbue you with the culture of that country. The antecedents of the “home-grown” terrorists who arrived in Britain from the Islamic world are the propagators of this Islamic worldview.

      Oh it`s the BBC, so what else will they be ringing around at the mo if not ” house trained slipper sniffing cringing Mozzies”…for the next news cycles duration anyway?
      Until the “Muslims fear the backlash, Islamophobia in a smoky bacon crisp packet left floating by Regents Park” kind of stories they`re inevitably setting up for us now for the baggage carousel/sushi belt/Generation Game conveyor belt with cuddly Muhammad teddy bear circling,unwanted and for ever.
      Muslims-either at your feet or at your throat…unless its virginal brides of tomorrow in council “care” and somewhere northern-in which case they reach historic compromises inbetween as we thank them for seeing reason.
      Saw the Farage clip earlier-at 6.37 or so he says CHURCHES should have to declare their sources of income-presumably so the east London Mosque don`t get hissy….Farage is a fool!

        Actually, the idea that Mosques should have to declare their income is an excellent idea. Providing of course the records are not audited by a member of the Mosque or anyone with a connection; so independent auditors checking the sources of income each month will serve several useful purposes.
        1) Those on benefits giving the usual 10th of income will be identified and can have 10% deducted from benefits.
        2) Only about 35-50% of income from customers using Asian restaurants (that is all of them not just Muslim owned and run ones) is declared, thus Mosques and temples etc. are used for money laundering. Money ‘donated’ to the Mosque can be loaned to other members of the community to set up businesses etc. without payment of interest.
        Identifying this income will lead to a huge increase in tax revenue and VAT and hopefully to many prosecutions for tax and benefit fraud. Employees and family members will have a declared income in the books with the rest in off record cash, thus enabling them to claim work related benefits.
        Having churches do the same thing is a nuisance but well worth the trouble.

          How can you be so keen on Camoron if you (judging from your post above) don’t like “hot air and hollow promises”?

          When has Camerloon EVER delivered as truthful a speech about failed multiculturalism and Islam in Britain, as the one Farage just has?

          I’ll answer that for you, as you’ll probably indulge in your usual trick of avoiding any tricky questions, it is – never; he has his head too far up Saudi Arabia’s fundament to ever do so either.

      Please tell me Andrew Neil was nowhere near this?

      It’s like suggesting to the USS Enterprise off Okinawa that maybe having a Tokyo Rose agony aunty on the blower in flight control could talk those kamikaze chappies down to land gently on the deck, and no need for those nasty AA-guns.

      Prats.

      It is no excuse the BBC is merely mirroring Bin There, Hugged That Dave, Theresa the Appeaser, and Don’t Shoot, I’m a Muslim! Corbo.

      I was just out on some errands and chatting with several folk in shops. We’re in the heart of SAS country.

      More common sense in these ordinary Joe and Janes’ little fingers than the entire Pallywood of Westminster and the Market Rate Bolly floors of W!A.

      The big idea is £3B worth of extra cannon fodder to patrol here is it?

      All told to defend at all costs but don’t risk a nasty look or compo claim from any quarter.

      Our armed forces are deployed with every limb stapled behind their backs already, and the judiciary operates on a £1M compo start point no matter what, even if the perp was running down the street with a ‘Death to Infidels’ banner with a spike on top.

      All on top of a military now trained to kill but tasked to preserve the life of even the most heinous threat to self or those being protected.

      Yet who they are up against is brought up from the womb to seek self-termination with as many of the host county surrounding them as possible.

      SNAFU & FUBAR mashed up and brought to you from Westminster via a twitter hashtag on BBC trending.

      Temped to mirror John Oliver’s rant to the Paris Jihadis, if perhaps without any baggage in tow.

      ‘Thankfully, we have John Oliver to straighten things out’

        Guest Who,

        Surely the all encompassing multiculturalism (as promoted by the BBC) means we all live according to our own culture, so that White British get the protection of the Common Law, immigrants from Eastern Europe can have confessions beaten out of them and those from the Middle East can be shot while attempting to escape.

        Or does multiculturalism mean something else to the BBC – where the White British have to make all the concessions?

        I’ve had enough of BBC liberal guilt.

    Yesterday’s BBC Radio Wales Morning Call discussed the French attacks.

    A caller pointed out that when he, in the course of his job, visited Muslim households in an area of Cardiff they were all playing video games killing British soldiers.

    The BBC host couldn’t see a problem with that. The caller was perplexed so the host went to another caller for a second opinion. Apparently Sadat didn’t see a problem with households in the UK entertaining themselves by killing British soldiers either.

    Oh, btw, according to the majority of the callers the only problem with the attacks is the west not over reacting to them and us understanding why they took place.

    Only on the BBC.

      The Left long for our destruction. They are the sort of people who wanted us to disarm when the USSR threatened us with nuclear destruction.

    Well, it won’t be long now, I guess.

    The BBC has initially stood behind, sort of, M. Hollande, Socialist Prime Minister of France (compare that to the disdain in which they hold ‘conservative’ equivalents throughout Europe, trying to protect their own countries). But the trending in BBC reporting is straight-line towards justifying/defending the actions of, if not outright siding with, the terrorists, and their supporters – i.e. those of the same religion NOT condemning outright and wholeheartedly the latest Muslim massacre.

    So – how long do you think the BBC will allow any lee-way to M. Hollande and his Air Force, before starting to condemn the ‘disproportionality’ of the French bombing response to ISIL, and the commencement of the wailing and gnashing of BBC teeth at the loss of the lives of ‘innocent’ by-standers, the deaths of women, children and ‘innocent’ Syrians in the ISIL strongholds ? You know, exactly the same criticisms that are constantly lobbed at Israel, which is also defending itself from a bunch of murderous terrorist supporters of a certain Middle Eastern ‘Prophet’.

    It will be interesting to observe the hypocrisy in the BBC as they try to wriggle their way out of this conundrum – not that anyone will be allowed to call them out on it.

      No, but did you know Charlie Sheen has HIV? Come now get your priorities right!
      On the one hand we have someone who gets paid lots of money to pretend to be someone else and, I would wager, someone most people couldn’t care a f*** about.
      On the other we have someone who’s main purpose in life is trying to save Great Britain.
