    The bBC, and its double standards when it comes to reporting the NEWS from the Middle East.

    When the bBC reports about Yemen, it has no problem pointing out just who is doing the bombing:
    Yemen conflict: Saudi-led air strike ‘kills 19 in Hudaydah’
    Or even those who they feel are contributing to the bloodshed:
    The list: Who does Britain sell weapons to?
    Yet when there is actually use of incendiary weapons (Think White phosphorus) by the bBCs fav arab and Russian dictators, then its all becomes a blur. Here is the bBC news report on the carpet bombing of the besieged city of Aleppo. See if you can sot just who is doing the bombing:
    Syria conflict: Warplanes set rebel-held Aleppo ablaze

    Can you imagine the outcry if the people doing as such were Americans,British or even Jewish? The only reason the bBC reports against Saudi Arabia is because it is supported by the West, thus to the ethical latte drinkers they must be evil.
    The bBC, the so called world class impartial news service which is anything but.

    So, Russia and the USA are at war.

    Russia/Assad is bombing Aid Convoys. The USA is bombing the Assad troops. The cease fire is well and truly over and the rhetoric is getting more and more violent and dangerous in the U.N.

    Putin brings out his aircraft carrier, his fighter planes and shows a face of steel to his enemy. But Presidente Hussain is on the campaign trail trying to put life into that sick old granny who want to be POTUS, even though she is still married to a dirty old pervert. Presidente Hussain has also declared at the U.N. that “Trump’s candidacy is a threat to American democracy”.

    Does anyone else wonder where Presidente Hussain keeps his brains?

    According to a well-known expression, Rome’s emperor at the time, the decadent and unpopular Nero, “fiddled while Rome burned.” The expression has a double meaning: Not only did Nero play music while his people suffered, but he was an ineffectual leader in a time of crisis. Hmm….

    The list of countries in flames since Nero, sorry Presidente Hussain, took office is just getting longer and it really does seem that Russia and the USA are next. Perhaps China and North Korea will join in for added fun? And, just to keep it interesting, there are an increasing number of riots on the streets of the USA between blacks and law enforcement as Presidente Hussain has encouraged a war between blacks and whites. Just because the spoiled idiot cannot get over an old chip on his shoulder as big as a redwood pine.

    So, his ‘Hope and Change’ baloney has not worked out too well has it? But does anyone see a hint of contrition? A moments reflection on the almighty disaster that the world has become during his, Presidente Hussain’s, control, or lack of it?
    Is the world’s media asking him, WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE?
    Well not that I can see.

    And the top of the BBC Homepage is….. wait for it…… The Great British Bake Off. They really do know how to get their priorities right.

      Obama is the poster boy of the BBC though. As far as hope and change, I think he’s achieved that. Many now Hope that Trump is voted in as next president so that there might actually be some change.

      Anyone see those videos the other night which caught some of Putin’s agents cheating in plain sight of the cameras – clearly they weren’t bright enough to think about looking up – dropping heaps of ballot papers into those “secure” ballot boxes!? And the way they had a group of women obstruct the view from anyone in the room while dropping those corrupt papers in the boxes! In fact, Putin gave them the idea (hiding behind someone else) by how he drops his barrel bombs directly into the bedrooms of those poor sleeping syrian children!

    BBC very conflicted over Gandhi being a racist.

    Paul Gascoigne saying he couldn’t see a black man in the dark (apparently the police are allowed to recommend that people wear bright clothes when walking/cycling after dark, but this remark was beyond the pale) is unequivocally racist http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-37406549 because he’s a white male and therefore scum of the earth in BBC land.

    However Gandhi, being brown gets referred to as “‘racist'”, with scare quotes, because obviously only white people can really be racist, and Gandhi is obviously a hero because he overthrew nasty white people in order that brown people could racially and religiously persecute each other without that wicked imperialist yoke.

    This is despite referring to Africans as savages, and criticising the British for thinking the Indians no better than the ‘savages’ of Africa.

      It is another of life’s many little ironies that the Indians and Chinese are deeply, fundamentally, ‘racist’, regarding African negroes as sub-human in a way that the British, with a more patronizing and yet currently despised attitude towards them, never did, even at the height of the Empire’s sway. You mustn’t say so, of course, because that would be racist.

    For the BBC Fatty Mardell investigates the Alt Right. Guess what? They are all WAAYCISTS.
    Here is a suggestion. The alt right are putting stuff on You Tube and generally avoiding the MSM. Judge for yourseleves whether the tedious and over used charge of racism by the BBC and the left is relevant.

    Mardell
    ‘Donald Trump’s whole campaign depends on publicly provoking outrage – and profiting in the polls as a result.
    But behind him, supporting him, is another force that is far darker: the Alt Right.
    What they believe is standard fare for the hard right in America – it is their style that is so startling.
    They are anti-feminist, anti-Islam, anti-immigration, and anti what they would call “political correctness”.
    But above all, they reject an economic definition of conservatism, in favour of one based on culture and race.
    They run the gamut from those who claim to be defending the rights of white Europeans to promote their values, to out-and-out Nazis.’

      We know that 50% of Trump supporters are racists and the other 50% are white supremacists
      our BBC journos Franz Strasser and Aleem Maqbool tweeted

      #BBCElectionTrain Day 4 for @BBCr4today: Whitefish, Montana. Meeting a white supremacist, energised by Donald Trump Audio clip page

      #BBCElectionTrain Day 4, Whitefish, Montana: where we found many appalled by the views of the white supremacist in their midst

      Fourth stop on #BBCElectionTrain and we met with white supremacist and residents of town at odds with his message
      BBC Video

      #1 Today’s radio seg featured about 15 people, saying “Trump is a racist”, “Trump is a racist”..and an interview with every white supremacist the BBC guy could find. Thus allowing the BBC commentator to say “with all this racism Trump is bringing”

      #2 Maybe cos yesterday I pointed out their page looks like “BBC for Hillary 2016 Homepage”, they have not added those clips to the page today

The hatred for boris was written all over his face and he kept mentioning war crimes. How about this attitude to corbyn and his lot when you interview them eh johnny boy

          Frei interviewed the black pastor but wasn’t interested in any of his answers at they went against his agenda. Frei just wanted to say racist all the time in relation to trump. We then had a piece from florida giving the impression that only white people are voting for trump and they are all racist anyway. Whats the point of all this bullshit and they call themselves world class journos.

          This was followed by fatima in a headscarf doing a sjw/activism piece about saudia arabia followed by an interview by snow with the american muslim fencer from the clinton foundation headquarters which was just another hit piece on trump.

    Look at this complete and utter sh*te from our national treasure:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37439890
    The headline ‘Alan Duncan: Boris Johnson didn’t want Brexit win’ is slightly misleading when you actually read the article. Duncan, the oleaginous little creep, states,”I think there are a lot of Leave people who don’t believe it, and I’ve always thought that Boris’s wish was to lose by one so that he could be the heir apparent without having to have all the… you know, s – h – i – t of clearing up all the mess, that’s always been my view of Boris.”
    So there you have it, the unsubstantiated opinion of Duncan is enough to generate yet another Brexit tale of woe. The sixth formers at the BBC really are becoming tedious.

      Black Insurrection in Charlotte Further Proof the Members of the American Colonization Society Were Onto Something…
      Black cop shoots black male reading a book (pointing a gun at him).

      Black people riot.

      Somehow, white people are to blame.

      Legacy of slavery, systemic racism, a devaluing of black bodies or something of this nature.

      All of this on the same day Hillary Clinton goes on a black radio show to denounce white police, white people, and all white institutions in America as irredeemable (again, Mrs. Clinton, that’s a word we’ve been using around here for quite sometime…).

      Obviously, the fact the black father of seven wasn’t armed with a book, but was instead armed with a gun (which he pointed at a police officer) is further proof of the incurable racism of white people since it was – logically – a society overwhelmed with ‘implicit bias’ ultimately denying our latest black-person-killed-by-the-racist-police-turned-flavor-of-the-Black-Lives-Matter-Moment the right to have a book on his person at the time he was callously and coldly murdered.

      Right?

      Black people are the greatest liability in our nation, not some vast, rich, untapped asset. Laws once held in check black dysfunction, but with the civil rights victories of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, black individuals were liberated from being held accountable for their actions, because our leaders (both in private and public sectors) were fearful of collective retaliation of blacks.

      The state is now firmly on the side of protecting black individuals from being held responsible for their actions, even as – collectively – black people pull down the very foundations of the civilization white people long ago established on the North American continent brick by brick.

      Ferguson, Baltimore, Dallas, Milwaukee, Baton Rouge, and Charlotte: cities where black leaders/black clergy united with the media and the Obama Administrations have united on behalf of black criminals against the civilization white people long ago establish and white cops still foolishly believe they can still maintain some degree of law and order.

      There can be no law and order when our elected/appointed leaders believe the ultimate crime in 2016 America is daring to arrest a black person, who by virtue of being black is somehow excused from moral agency… because of ‘implicit bias’ or some other buzz word Hillary Clinton can remember to say.

    During a long drive home yesterday I dipped in and out of Radio 4 even though, right at the start of the journey, somehow I knew it wouldn’t be an edifying experience.
    You and Yours had a heart rending piece about the difficulty prospective tenants had in finding accommodation in places like London and that bidding wars were now commonplace. An obviously foreign sounding couple related their experience in being outdid on two flats. Now I know the principle of supply and demand is difficult for lefties like the BBC to grasp which might explain why they found this whole situation so perplexing. They really can’t, or refuse, to see the answer staring them in the face.

    Much of yesterday’s offerings involved the BBC reporting on its favourite subject, itself. The media show was all about the new charter and Bake Off. PM was deliberately avoided, always a good move.
    Mark Steel’s in Town was full of the usual lefty signalling but still mildly amusing. I did notice when Mark Steel told us how the Sikhs and Muslims fed the starving of Hebdon Bridge during recent flooding he mentioned something very specific; the Muslims were of the Ahmadiyya variety. Anyone with any knowledge of religion will be unsurprised by Sikhs and Ahmadiyya Muslims offering such charity but I wonder if Steel actually realised the distinction he made within Islam.
    Unreliable Evidence was the diamond sticking out of the turd but even this managed a discussion of meeting the needs of trans-gender prisoners.
    Four Thought closed with the unfunny Ayesha Hazarika giving a masterclass in left-wing comedy containing a full-house of lefty buzz-word bingo topics.
    There was more. One day I will conduct a proper analysis of the schedule and list the messages being pushed throughout its schedule by the BBC.

      Re the you and yours and the letting of properties in London which I heard a little of. My son has just let a room he had vacant for 3 months. The poor snowflakes often couldn’t be bothered to look up on a map to find which part of London he is in until the day they wanted to view; they would then decide the leafy suburb didn’t suit, or that 10 minute walk was too far from the tube station, more often than not they just didn’t turn up. I am not therefore very sympathetic to The London Housing Crisis but suspect it is part of the narrative the BBC wanted to portray ie think up a story, find people willing to speak to a mike to support the story, don’t let facts get in the way.

      I have an acquaintance who is a farm owner with her husband. Just after the glorious 23rd I inquired as to how she voted. As she is something of a leftist I suspected, correctly, that she was a remainer. It is that they employ many Eastern European folk that is at the root of the decision. Can’t get the locals to do it. I moved to wages and asked if they paid well? Not really, minimum wage for hard work. Then, says I, if you paid a better wage do you think it would help to encourage local people to work for you? Yes, I’m sure it would but we’re not doing that because we don’t have to, says she.
      And there lies a huge problem that the BBC pretty much ignored altogether or glossed over.
      I am more than happy to pay more for my food if the workers are properly paid. I see no problem with that at all.
      So if I see my, seemingly, ex friend again I’ll ask if there’s been a change of heart. Somehow, I doubt it. Range Rovers don’t come cheap after all.

    Says it all. The left cares more about what men say about women, than they do about what women actually do to men. That is, of course, unless the man in question is a Muslim in which case the left immediately contradicts its tiresome “women are always the victim” position and calls the woman a liar, as the Guardian’s American arm did this week when a woman spoke out about sexual assault she suffered from Muslim immigrants which was dismissed as racist fabrication.

    Liberalism is like an endless game of rock/paper/scissors where they are constantly in a battle over who they hate the most. Naturally white straight men are bottom of the dirt, but if Milo Yianappolis, a gay man, speaks out against Islam he’s suddenly”privileged.” Similarly Jennifer Lawrence is a victim of male oppression for having her nufe photos leaked, but when it’s a black man or woman calling her stupid white trash this information is ignored. The goal in all of this is not progress, it’s to maintain a segregated and injusticed society so that the left can keep having something to complain about. It is all about them, not you.

        Should BLM find themselves at a loose end I was made aware of some pretty horrific statistics recently regarding New York City abortion rates.
        “in 2013 black women accounted for 29,007 terminated pregnancies, representing almost 42 percent of all abortions in the city. That same year, black women in the city gave birth to 24,108 babies.”
        And the previous year,
        “African American women in the city had 24,758 births and underwent 31,328 abortions.” Both years saw more African American children aborted in NYC than were born, nothing less than industrial blood sacrifice at that scale.
        The subject is emotive and complex, but by any measure those statistics are disturbing, and possibly more deserving of people demonstrating in the street than the reasons they currently profess.

      But li`l Webb decided that her uni wasn`t doing enough to rescue the crapholes of scholastic misery at Blackbird Leys and Cowley.
      “Where`s your schools missy”-was the thrust of wee Webbs questions…and no matter what the VC said-poor Justin Woods didn`t get the notion that Oxfords job is NOT to plug the arseholes of school management…even if Kings or Brum do!
      Utter SJW crap-not a clue has Webb, being an Oxbridge privately educated ponce no doubt.
      Oh-and won`t Brexit put all this radiant brilliance at risk my poppet?…she rather thought that it would.
      And THIS passes for an interview as the BBC grapple with Oxbridge…no wonder we`re stuffed.
      As for the BBC setting up a “school”-even of of low grade news media analysis?-well stuff that, this is the Oxbridge and Interns garret!

    Overlooked as a topic so far for some reason, but tonight’s QT seems potentially entertaining. Jacob Rees-Mogg AND Julia Hartley-Brewer up against the mandatory trio/quartet of remainers – a Lib Dem of no consequence (sorry for the repetition), a Blair Babe and elfin, if oversized, Caroline Lucas saving the planet on our behalf with, perhaps, hints of bondings to come with Jeremy and John?
    Set in sunny and affluent Sutton-Coldfield the bus fleet will have been busy ensuring the right balance but perhaps the production team are pinning their hopes on two hyphenates alienating from the outset. For all that, Dimbly might well be overshadowed, and outclassed, of course.

    How the bBC sanitises the ugliness woven into the DNA of Sunni Muslims:
    Police probe internet messages from religious killer Tanveer Ahmed
    The bBC reports on how Intolerant Muslim ‘Tanveer Ahmed’ stabbed Asad Shah to death for simply subscribing to a different branch of Islam has been sending messages to his fans from inside prison. The bBC tried to justify this murder by posting this headline when dick splash got sent down last month:
    Asad Shah killing: ‘Disrespecting Islam’ murderer jailed
    A man has been jailed for life after he admitted the religiously-motivated murder of a Glasgow shopkeeper who he claimed had “disrespected” Islam.
    Can you imagine the outcry from the left if the police in America excused themselves from shooting dead black people by saying they felt disrespected. But when an Islamic bigot does so, why that’s acceptable and substantiates to the Sunni Muslim population in the UK, that actually Mr Shah was in the wrong.

    So what has dick splash been saying which warrents the bBC to knock out an article. Why hes been posting videos onto Social media accounts for his followers to listen to which the bbC tries to make out are harmless. I quote:
    “It has now emerged that messages, apparently recorded from Ahmed’s phone calls from Barlinnie Prison, have been posted on the video-sharing site. The audio, which appears to be a landline phone call, is presented with a still picture of the killer. The messages, in Urdu, include phrases such as “we should all try to make the world a better place” and “I will sacrifice myself”.

    Nothing to write home about there is there, but hang on that isn’t all that dickspalsh said is it bBC, you left out these nice intolerant snippets:
    “I have the honour of sending him to the hell forever,” (Regards Mr Shah)

    ““Whoever and wherever is listening my voice must make a resolve to protect the finality of prophethood,” he says. “We will save the Lord’s followers from going down to the hell – will protect their faith.”

    “There’s only one punishment for insulters: cut off their heads, cut off their heads, cut off their heads.”

    I wonder why the bBC, left out the above comments?

    The bBC, the apologists and whitewash merchants for intolerant Islam.

      ‘A Very British Coup’ was quite enjoyable, and showed some politicians in their true light. Notably, Michael Heseltine, now a bitter, frustrated and old man, and Alan Duncan, waspish with an unguarded tongue. Considering AD’s views on Boris Johnson (his current boss), surely he can’t survive very long in his present job? Strangely for the BBC, the film did Nigel Farage no harm at all. In fact, he came across extremely well, with some splendid, hitherto unbroadcast incidents. Likewise Gisela Stewart.

        The only significant difference between the Heseltine of 25 or so years ago and today is that he’s old – he’s been bitter ever since his backstabbing failed and perceptive people like Alan Clarke pointed out so many of his deficiencies. We should count our blessings, the vanity of his premiership would have been disastrous.
        Alan Duncan’s true worth was perfectly illustrated by his final appearance, when ‘looking forward to the fun’ of working with his new boss, Boris, the man he had so disparaged for the previous hour.

    How a Palestinian/Israeli story would have appeared in the BBC had it reported on the following incident.
    On the morning of June 30, a 17-year-old Palestinian Arab Muhammad Taraireh, was killed by an Israeli.
    The mother of Muhammad Taraireh, said to the press that her son was a “hero,” a “martyr” who made her very “proud”.
    The Palestinian Authority (PA) declared Taraireh a “shahid,” or martyr, the highest honor achievable in Islam.
    Your guess is as good as mine as to how the BBC would spin the rest of the story!!…and how much it would leave out.
    Despite their incitement to hate and incentive to kill programs, Palestinians remain the perennial “victims du jour” in the minds of the misguided West (BBC) and the corrupt UN. Hallel Ariel and other Israelis, the real victims, are blamed by the BBC for the terrorism visited upon them.

      Yes gexvil.

      An ‘implied repression’ value is called for to express this properly.
      For our purposes that ratio w:b = 0.1:100
      Therefore (w=328×0.1) : (b=178×100)
      Meaning 32.8:17800
      17800/32.8 = 542.682927

      The answer is that is that there is a 543 (rounded up) times higher chance of a riot and further death with added destruction of property than if the ratio was 1:1

      Hope this helps.

    Man from Manchester charged with terrorism offences

    A 25-year-old man has been charged with terrorism offences.
    Mohammed Abdallah is alleged to have possessed a firearm and received £2,000 for the purposes of terrorism, and belonged to a banned organisation.
    Police said there “is not believed to be any wider risk” to communities in Greater Manchester.

    Buried deep in the ‘regions’ section of the website and if you didn’t know it was there then the chances are that you would never have found it. Question is of course what his intentions were, and that seems a question plod is ever reluctant to reveal in their political correct awareness.

    And what exactly does “is not believed to be any wider risk” to communities in Greater Manchester. mean exactly, because to me that sounds like psychobabble for “they’re not all like that” and the community they are concerned about are the brown eyed favourites !

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-37420553

      From the BBC report

      Daniel Radcliffe believes that the UK’s Brexit vote, along with the rise of Donald Trump, has made the Far Right “now a legitimate part of political discussion”.
      The actor, who in his latest film, Imperium, plays an FBI agent who infiltrates a right-wing extremist bomb plot, says “the vast majority of voters aren’t racist extremists”.
      Yet, he continues: “Something’s happened with Brexit and with Trump, people can now hear these views on TV and believe it’s a legitimate way to think about people.”
      “When the bomb went off in New York, I was saying to myself ‘please don’t let the perpetrator be black, or Muslim – because then it will be used by Trump’. But we do need to draw attention to the Far Right’s activities.”

      Note, most people react to a bomb going off by showing some sympathy for the injured, dead and relatives. Lefties think of their allies.,

        Reality calling Daniel Radcliffe: it was a muslim who set the bomb off because it always is.

        The so-called “far right” doesn’t exist, you brain dead waste of space. The existential threat our society faces is the rise of islam, and nothing else. Your film sounds the sort of typical Hollywood masturbatory fantasy in which the wise forces of a liberal government protect us all from evil right wing rednecks. In other words, it is the same garbage ultra left wing Hollywood types have been producing since the 1960s.

        I believe Mr Radcliffe is a recovering alcoholic. I would not pay to see his crap film, but I would gladly stand him a few drinks, as he could hardly be more of a tosser drunk than he is sober.

          Exactly Rob

          Every single event that could possibly be linked to a far-right theme will be, the left are fanatical about it!!…. Yet how many killings has there been? How many arrested for terrorism? How many arrested before a plot to kill takes place?…. There’s none! Absolutely zero!! So the Islamic Al Beeb and self-hating, self-righteous, traitorous sewer vermin like them have to make up a far-right threat to stay in the argument and stay in control!!….. And people are so f..ing stupid they actually still fall for it!!

          That might be true, but until people realise just how much Saudi is compromising politicians and senior people through their money then nothing is going to change.
          How many people even the ones with minds open to the possibility know that there is an organisation on Goodge street in London funded by Saudi dedicated to the prevention of the integration of Muslims into Western society ?
          This stuff isn’t out in the open, but you can find out about what is going on.

          Our politicians this week bombed Assads forces in Syria – anyone think this was an accident? Saudi controls far more that people can ever realise until it is pointed out to them.

    Youtube have served PJW with an age restriction on his latest video, a helpful tuber has provided this link to bypass the sign in, although you would have to be signed in to see it. So here it is for any who can’t or can’t be bothered to sign in.

    World at One had James Naughtie interviewing a ‘liberal humourist’ who, though she isn’t unbiased we are warned, offers a poignant look at the election. Well it was neither poignant nor humorous.

    Here is an example, so get hold of those ribs in case they crack: she said that during the election of Obama v McCaine, she said that not to vote was like being asked if you wanted chicken for lunch or faeces with broken glass in it. Yes, she compared the war hero and liberal conservative to faeces and broken glass. Is this an example of the hate crimes the BBC are so concerned about?

    Well I guess she is a mindless liberal, she is a woman and she does support Hillary, but surely Radio 4 requires more credentials than those to have its audience listen to an individual?

      That disgusting remark shows Trump’s genius. Unlike McCain and the other RINOs, he has realised that there is nothing he can ever do to make the left like him, so he simply winds them up and lets their heads explode. Even better, the public like it too. That’s what I call a win/win.

      Listening to it, I thought it was a ‘he’, but you never can tell these days. I look forward to Naughtie broadcasting a similar piece with a Republican supporter of Trump (sarc.).

    Just a quick and rather sad note. In the Telegraph today, Terry Jones of Python fame has been diagnosed with a type of dementia. He is 74, same age as my dad was when he started to go downhill with it. It is a vile ailment as I’m sure you all know. I feel sorry for him and his family particularly as I am still looking after my dad eight years on, although two months ago he had to go into a care home to stay and have his life savings and home slowly removed by the council.
    Thanks for the giggles Terry, you were my favourite.
    End.

      For all we say about the Asians, they know the value of family, and look after their elderly.
      He savings are not removed by the council, they are being used to pay for his care, because his immediate family have decided they would rather someone else looked after him.
      Please tell me why you think, that in the good old BBC socialist dogma, that I should pay for your fathers care?
      Much as I sympathise with your fathers plight it’s not anyone elses responsibility.
