    Not about the BBC but maybe an ally of them, the Independent, the ‘newspaper’that more or less went bust recently is still popular online,but they are not ‘independent’ at all, constantly putting out anti-Brexit articles and other Left wing stuff.Getting very annoying.

      Someone is filling the i-newspaper full of propaganda and giving it away for free.
      The i was sold to Johnston Press who run a lot of local weeklies.
      So this week those weeklies are giving 7 vouchers so you can purchase the i- for free every day.

      I give it to my housebound mother but the contents seem to be Red Cult propaganda
      I wonder if it traces back to the Russian govt trying to brainwash the youth here.
      (I see two Russia gov apologists are posting below.. nothing wrong with Russian people but Putin govs gone crazy started a war in Ukraine and causing trouble in Syria ..real bullets and real people dying.)

Every government weve overthrown in the middle east has turned out really well for us so far hasn’t it.

      Re your MSM comment. I go on an alternative news site. I know its not for everyone, and I wouldn’t advise folk to have a look, but if you want absolute, unequivocal proof that ISIS has been built by The West, the pages are for all to see, all the way back at the start of the uprising.
      Back then, our media was addressing the barbarians “The Free Syrian Army”. The site owner I refer to, Mark Marek, from Canada, used to take the p155 and label them ” the fake Syrian Army”, they have videos of heinous crimes against not only The Syrian army, but the civilian population… can you remember William Hague demanding that we arm them, well arm them we did, and it has not once been reported by any western main stream, just look at Deutsche bank share price and impending collapse/state bailout, it has just started to be reported, this bank has been on the downward slope for 5 years.. if it was HSBC, the BBC etc, would be all over it,”blah blah brexit has caused this etc… anyway, I’m sure I’m preaching to the converted but these alternative news sites give a real life take of the world, mostly mobile phone footage, uncut, not by unicorn libtards. I can’t say Russia is perfect but neither are we. watching RT is like QVC they haven’t learned the art of deceit just yet.

    Our BBC man in Jerusalem on Today covering the Peres funeral couldn’t wait to get stuck in.

    His only interview was with some ‘Palestinian’* who spouted the usual self-serving, self-pitying, one-sided propagandist trash about the ‘tragedy’ of Israeli settlements that Peres had initiated, knowing full well that his BBC friend wouldn’t challenge him in the slightest way – and he didn’t. Maybe he should have asked his opinion on Peres’ strong commitment to the defence of his homeland, arising from Arab determination to ‘wipe Israel off the face of the map’ (three attempts – all full-scale war – since Israel’s inception in 1948).

    Nah, never any sniff of balance from the BBC on Israel and the Middle East, just the same old agenda of Israel not somehow fitting in, like some unwelcome cuckoo in the nest throwing its weight around and committing atrocities when in reality the Jews have historic ties to the area going back millennia, unlike the Arab Islamic invaders, and have only ever acted in self-defence. The BBC might also observe at some point that since Israel developed nuclear arms the Arab countries suddenly found war a less attractive proposition, but to do that would mean the BBC fessing up to those wars in the first place, which of course they won’t (at least not in the sense they were waged by the Arabs).

    Finally we were left with the thought by our intrepid reporter that Peres’ dream of peace is now out of reach (or words to that effect). If the BBC were more honest and didn’t keep bending and excising history to fit its pro-‘Palestinian’ agenda millions more people might learn the truth about how hard Israel has worked, and the sacrifices it has been prepared to make, to make a two-state solution work. Even Bill Clinton saw through Arafat and gave up on him in exasperation.

    So all in all not so much a tribute to Peres from our BBC man, more just another opportunity to peddle its pro-Arab, pro-Islam agenda.

    Bastards.

    *A term invented by Yasser Arafat circa 1964, in reality meaningless.

      Israel tried the experiment of retreating and allowing Palestianian self rule in Gaza.

      The result was instant civil war, the establishment of a terrorist dictatorship, and ongoing attacks on Israel. The prospects of Israel therefore agreeing to a similar “solution” on the West Bank are therefore nil.

      The Palestinians had their chance to establish a peaceful and prosperous enclave on Gaza. The world would have rushed to help them. As peaceful relations grew, the Israelis would no doubt have moved towards accepting a Palestinian state on the West Bank. They had their chance, and they blew it. They could have decided to live like civilized, decent people, but they preferred the path of violence, war and dictatorship. In short, they behaved like all followers of the religion of peace.

      Apologies repeated my post from the other thread because it is relevant here.

      So few people are aware or understand how constant bias effects their way of thinking and their behaviour. A good example is anti Semitism because history has shown us how effective the hatred and negativity and bias against the Jews in the media in Germany ultimately effected the way in which the German people behaved towards the Jews. If the lies about the Jews in Israel are repeated again and again and nothing positive is attributed to the Jews http://netanyalynette.blogspot.co.il/2012/08/writing-jews-out-of-history.html when in fact the contrary is true see http://www.verygoodnewsisrael.blogspot.com this is bound to have consequences.

      Offcom said I was not personally effected by an anti Israel programme . I tried to explain how deeply personally effected my daughter was when she worked as playgroup leader in the summer ( 16 years ago) and when she said she was Jewish she was kicked and punched by some children the day after a particularly nasty slanderous programme against Israel

      People just don’t take seriously the very real dangers of a biased national media organisation

      I tried the US question on people last night in the pub. So successful has the media been in the promotion of Gays & their issues, that almost everyone questioned believed that 25% of people in the UK is gay, some even higher than that. Once comment was that there’s someone gay on TV whenever you turn it on was made.

      They are very surprised to find that the true figure is just 1.5% of people are gay a tiny fraction of how the media portrays the issue.

      If the leftie Tories want greater representation of minorities on TV to reflect their numbers then surely there should be a quid pro quo, and a reduction in the numbers of gays to reflect their real societal numbers?

          The inherent problem at the heart of the global economy is the Fractional Reserve banking system. All money is actually created by the banks (not the Central Banks) as debt. But debt accrues interest (usually compound) and because all money was created as debt, there isn’t any money for the debt interest – e.g. UK banks lend 100billion at 5%, so if that was all paid back after a year there would need to be £105 billion, but only a £100 billion has been created.

          This means the system can only be kept in motion by:
          1) People taking out additional debt (money is created) that is then used by debtors to pay their debt interest.
          2) ‘Debt default’ erasing the debt.

          People with capital don’t like option 2 because they don’t get their money back, so they issue more debt. The bad debts are traded at cents (or less) on the dollar. Or maybe wrapped up into a Collateral Debt Obligation and sold to unsuspecting victims.

          This has been going on for so long that the economy is saturated with debt and nobody wants to take on any more – which is why we have 0% interest rates and quantitative easing.

          Douglas Carswell tried to bring it up on Question Time and Dimbleby looked at him gormlessly and asked ‘what’s that’.

          With the BBC ‘framing the debate’ (to suit their pals in Labour) we have very little chance of addressing these existential problems. Educate and inform my arse.

            I was always taught that when a bank offers you credit you need to take care, because as soon as you accept the money it changes from credit into debt.

            When I first heard about Fractional Reserve banking I thought it was a joke, as it sounded like a system designed to fail, but Grimer’s description is spot on.

    Jezza Swine Show today, devoted the first 30 minutes to the abduction and rape of the school girl in Oxford, this is because (against the run of play) the perpetrators are described as White; if they were of “Norwegian” lineage I have no doubt that it wouldn’t have been covered at all on his show, but they are: so they’re making hay with it.

    It could, however, prove awkward for al beebus, as “White” could include Eastern europeans or creatures such as the Tsarnaev brothers, though if it is they’ll drop the story like hot dog s**t – a la the Kriss Donald racial torture-murder they didn’t really cover.

      Rapists from the religion of peace prefer to get to know their victims first, ply them with drink and drugs, before passing them around their paedophile network. They see it as more of a long term investment of time and effort, as well as doing the work of Allah amongst the kafffirs. They would view these two men as rank amateurs.

      I have my doubts about that reported rape. In broad daylight in a busy street? And its not known if she escaped or was released.

      Remember the recent alleged abduction of a ten year old boy in Surrey? The witness after a week or so was charged with Wasting Police Time and Perverting the Course of Justice.

        I’m sorry, but I think the story is probably true. Either way, given her age, it is at a minimum a case of statutory rape (if say, she was scared of her parents reaction when she was caught playing truant to shag around).

        I think the police would have quickly discounted her story after interviewing her and explaining the repercussions of lying.

          A relative of mine is a police Detective. She has worked on rape investigation units and became very disillusioned at the very, very high percentage of false allegations. She estimates that about 90% are false.
          For example:

          Girlfriends falling out with boyfriend and crying rape.
          Mentally disturbed being delusional.
          Prostitutes seeking non-payment.
          Drunk women waking up with a man and crying rape.
          Young girls seeking attention.

          But she could not end an investigation as it would not have been politically correct to do so. ‘Wimmin’ have transformed rape allegations into a political industry.

          So, it would assume a life of it’s own to the point of scaring to death the local community for no reason.

          I have no reason to doubt her.

    Its the bloody same in the Uk. Here is what Black MP ‘Diane Abbot’ has to say on the matter of Black gun and knife crime on her Parliamentary website
    “Sadly 80 per cent of gun crime in London is “black on black”, often involving boys in their teens.”

    A blind man wearing sun glasses in a dark room at Midnight during an eclipse can see the above. But for some strange reason the ethical toffu lot can’t. To them only whites can be guilty of crime. Especially the police who have to clear up the mess these wankers have made with their so called Human rights agenda.

    BBC ‘Migrant Brides’ article:

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37518289

    Here are the things that jump off the page:

    “Should a 14-year-old married girl who migrates to Europe be viewed as a child – or a spouse?”

    “Analysts say early marriage is often carried out in refugee camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey by families trying to protect girls from poverty or sexual exploitation.”

    And Jordan’s Chief Islamic Justice Department was recently quoted as saying child marriages represented about 35% of all marriages of Syrian refugees in 2015.

    “As refugees, Syrian families are reliant on dwindling resources and are lacking economic opportunities. At the same time, they are all too aware of the need to protect their daughters from the threat of sexual violence.

    Who do they need protecting from? Best not to ask, probably.

    Anyway, I’m a convert – open the borders and allow the sexual predators free reign! What’s your problem? Are you a racist? It’s their culture innit.

      One fact that doesn’t jump off the page – because it isn’t on the page to begin with – is that the legal age for marriage in Syria is 17 for females, 18 for males (there is provision for some exceptions on religious grounds). The BBC would like you to think that child marriage is some wonderful Syrian custom that should be continued here in the West; the reality is that the majority of such ‘weddings’ would not have been permitted in Syria and indeed were largely unknown prior to the outbreak of the civil war.

    Normal BBC Terrific lack of self awareness on R4 Late Night Woman’s Hour now

    “That burkini thing ..You shouldn’t be telling women what to wear” ..”and you know what they only did cos she’s Muslim”

    …Please R4WH spare a moment to think about millions of women in Iran who very much don’t want to wear Muslim garb, but have to cos of the religious police ..Likewise in some other countries.
    – Even in more moderate Muslim countries where a dress code is not part of the law it may well be part of the school uniform, university or government building regulations.
    ..Even in the most moderate of Muslim cultures there maybe tremendous social pressure to conform.
    – Yes there are many millions of Muslim women in say urban Indonesia who can choose to dress more freely, but I would guess the majority of Muslim women who want to wear a bikini cannot within their own countries.

    So for Radio4 WH to talk about one or two Muslim women being asked to leave a particular area of beach and go 200m to the road where they can wear full covering freely and call that oppression of Muslims ..well that is total lack or perspective.

    And its incredible for R4WH NOT to express that it is women who are treated unfairly when it comes to dress, cos the rules and conventions that apply to Muslim men are a whole lot lower.. Like wouldn’t get guys on the beach going naked but many normal guys might swim or play volleyball in just a pair of shorts.

      Richard Burgon referred to the fact that being associated with Stalin’s, Malenkov’s & Khrushchev’s Russia and its deeds, was highly offensive but he cannot escape his own stance as being on the Left of his Party, thus on the left of The Left. Rewriting the history of the past – as Burgon would appear to want to do – is another recurrent theme of the extreme Left. Thanks for spotting and putting that up, D&C.

        Too right Richard-my psychology and educational theory was nearly ALL gleaned from the Soviet locked wards-indeed, there was no other way of “doing” these social sciences back in the days of Vygotsky etc.

    Spare a thought however for her ex – the trombone soloist http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2238425/BBC-scandal-Married-BBC-stars-Tim-Willcox-Sophie-Long-break-news-affair.htmland and accoster of elderly jewish ladies http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2906539/Calls-BBC-reporter-resign-told-daughter-Holocaust-survivors-Paris-Palestinians-suffer-hugely-Jewish-hands-well.html the BBC’s very own Tim Wilcox – he made his name being down with the Chilean miners. Award winning human interest and great modern international journo-ism, I’m sure – but I couldn’t help but recall the Kirk Douglas movie Ace In The Hole (1951).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_in_the_Hole_(1951_film)

    Speaking of which the original Daily Mail report (since edited) which exposed the Wilcox-Long liason at the point they left their then current partners and families contained a marvelous line worthy of Carry On films from the BBC telling how our Sophie would be taking a break from BBC News 24 and in the meantime another presenter would be covering her slots.

    Sounds as though normal service – for our Sophie – has now been resumed.

    Now on R4 Any Questions
    Second item was a sneer at Trump patsy question , presumably chosen by the producer
    “How can Trump run a whole country when he can’t concentrate for 90 minutes ?”
    “really terrified, this is really scary” etc.
    (no one on the panel spoke up for Trump)
    Panel : (25 yr old American) Kate Andrews (Freemarket ThinkTank), John Harris(Guardian journalist), Angela Rayner Lab MP, Nadhim Zahawi Tory MP (ethnic Kurd)
    Seems the BBC Audience Fixing Bus has been repaired.. and Green/Lefties bussed in today.

    The News Quiz began with a Love Jeremy item
    ..”He’s like the nice guy at a wedding standing on the table trying to stop a fight”
    ..The second item was a sneer at Trump
    How can we stop public money going into the large pensions of BBC Management.

      Ignore it all. The News Quiz is so obviously left biased it is a parody of itself.
      The BBC is pro Remain and anti Trump. So what really. We all knew this as I suspect the bosses of the BBC do but just do not care.
      Technology is destroying the business case for the BBC now and this also they know. The younger audience is vanishing fast . It is a question of how much longer it can conn the public into paying billions for dross.

        Yes, you’re about right mate.
        But the rule is : if you see it, document it ..might be useful for the forthcoming BBC Nuremberg Trial
        ..when the BBC executives are put on trial and sentenced for bias during their watch.

          SG
          Trial?
          I hope this is your idea of comedy.
          At least one million examples of evidence of AlBeeb guilt and treason on BBBC alone.
          I do not think we need to bother with a trial.
          #1 Carry out the sentence first.
          #2 Open the champagne bottles.
          #3 Announce the sentence.
          #4 Have a discussion about how otiose a trial would be.

      Stew: “Seems the BBC Audience Fixing Bus has been repaired.. and Green/Lefties bussed in today.”

      That’s right Stew but some of them were parked right alongside an ambient microphone. Unfortunately, whether by accident or design, the sound engineer had the microphone too close and the levels set too high. When those audience members had their preconditioned light bulb moment, the sound of three or four pairs of hands clapping instantly after the last word was out of the Panel member or members they were imported to agree with, it sounded very artificial and extremely limited. When someone else made a good point that was met with more general audience favour, the applause sounded very different, very much warmer. It wouldn’t be the first time in my experience that Engineering have subverted things at the Beeb.

      BTW, John Harris seemed quite low on the Left spectrum for a Guardian writer and also compared with what I remember of his previous appearances on AQ. Perhaps he had watched the previous nights Question Time (BBC 1, 23.20pm, 29 Sep) and done a spot of self-diagnosis?

        @Up2stuff could it have been writer Robert Harris (Times) you were thinking mixing him up with ?

          Stew, according to the Beeb it was John Harris of the Guardian on the panel and I thought I recognised his voice.

    They are in France and the EU .
    Why is France so bad ? Why does Great Britain have to pick up the tabs all the time ?
    We have many many children of our own that need housing, feeding, health care and school places, we cant fulfil those.
    Once they are here their extended families will claim them and the right to relocate here .

      Something tells me that once in this country it turns out that they’re not so unaccompanied after all. UNICEF and the BBC would then be saying how unfair it is to have these unaccompanied children in the UK whilst their family is refused entry.

    Will there ever be such a party?

      UKIP has a particular axe to grind with them.
      They would confront them.

      DS, Listeners and Viewers can confront the BBC. The more that do so, with handwritten letters to the DG, copied to their MPs and the appropriate Minister of Fun (aka DCMS), then eventually a tidal wave will engulf the wrongdoers. Until then, apathy allows the BBC (and any unconnected others, elsewhere, doing other things) to get away with it.

    What’s happened to BBC bias this week ?
    #1 BBC QT from Boston didn’t have the usual rigged audience
    #2 Friday’s R4 Feedback didn’t rig the complaints as usual
    … contained actuall criticism about the BBCnews banging on narcistically about Bake Off and the Archers storyline. (14m in ) *”A BBC representative wasn’t available to discuss the issue”
    #3 Saturday 11am there was a prog mentioning a Tory “What Does Theresa Really Think” and it was not a hatchet job ..What’s going on ?

    Ah I got it the producers and activists have all been up at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, so haven’t been doing their usual job of rigging the programmes.

    As I predicted normal biased service was returned in time to rig Friday’s bbcR4 Any Questions
