SOCIAL COHESION AND SAVING GORDON.

Just ten minutes this morning into the “Today” programme on BC Radio 4 and I had to turn it off.

Just before the 7 a.m. news we had an item on “social cohesion”and the racial tensions that are evident in places like Dagenham. The spectre of the rise of the BNP was raised by the BBC interviewer and all agreed that this “far-right” abomination was undesirable. The solution to “divided communities” appeared to be “arts-based” social initiatives! Tell it to the Jihadists and those within the Muslim community who support them and who refuse to integrate within our communities. The BBC can’t even see the problem but instead fulminate against “the far right”.

Meanwhile, just a few minutes later and after a weekend which saw John Prescott, Cherie Blair and Lord Levy all expose Gordon Brown’s dysfunctional personality, the BBC then ran an item clearly designed to bolster Brown. The loathsome Denis McShane and Lance Price were allowed to explain why all this tittle-tattle meant nothing and said more about those who indulged in it than it did about the Great Leader. It seemed to escape them that all this invective against Brown was coming from within the Party, from senior figures. Operation Save Gordon seems in full swing and it should prove hugely entertaining to watch the BBC explain away what looks set to be a rout of Labour in Crewe in but a few weeks!

    Radio 2 ‘News’ almost reading out Gordon’s complete speech which he ‘will be making within the next hour’. Full of marvellous warm caring consultative considerative cooing.

    Incredibly clever and well-resourced organisation, this BNP. Apparently able to foment trouble in otherwise peaceful communities from Dagenham to Bradford.

    Totally agree with your comments.
    I also turned off the Today programme at hearing the odious McShane and Quinn lauding a man who has such inherent basic social flaws.
    One can only praise Blair for keeping him out of the PM’s office for so long – but on the other hand was so weak that he continued to employ him.

    Blair could have fired him after 3 months. What would McBean have done – organised a PLP coup, with his obvious social skills and organisational skills and political nous? And the PLP would have rallied behind him and risked the existence of the first Labour (well, OK, faux-Labour) government in 18 years? I don’t think so.
    Leaving Bean in charge of our economy for 10 years is only another one of Blair’s many examples of utter contempt for this country: his personal convenience taking priority every time over the good of the party, never mind that of the country.

    I don’t see the bias David. First you complain that they mentioned “social cohesion”. And then, when a subject came up that pretty much all mainstream politicians agree on, the BNP, you’re outraged that all the contributors agreed.

    Then you complain that they let some people defend the PM, after a week of widespread bad-mouthing. Once again your idea of bias is a normal person’s idea of there being two sides to the story. Would you prefer your political gossip without counter-balance?

    There is a biased and misleading BBC report, under headline:

    “Call for focus on ethnic tensions”
    ( by Dominic Casciani).

    Here is the opening extract:-

    “Councils must work harder to target ‘hot spots’ caused by rising migration and diversity, the government will say.

    “The Department for Communities, which will launch guidance on monitoring local tensions, says more work needs to be done to prevent local disturbances.”

    “The guidance comes a year after a major report urged ministers to do more to improve community cohesion.”

    The BBC report fails to identify:

    1.)the Labour Government’s past, present and future commitment to MASS IMMIGRATION, which is causing ethnic tensions;

    2.)the specific ETHNIC TENSIONS, e,g, there is no reference to Jihadist violence against British people;

    3.) the huge SOCIAL COSTS to local councils of Labour’s uncontrolled, under-financed immigration priorities.

    The BBC and McLiebour are so far removed from reality it beggars belief. Having said that, nothing would surprise me if in the run up to the Crewe by-election if we don’t get Panorama uncover some “tory Scandal”

    On another matter, the really vile Victoria derbyshire was interviewing the mother of the boy who had his throat cut at the weekend.

    When the mother brough up her faith (she’s a Christian) it was like a red rag to a bull. “How can your faith help you here, when your God didn’t stop this… blah blah blah…”

    Now I’m no fan of religion, but does anyone think she’d have attacked a “Moozlum” mother about her faith.

    Needless to say they’had a few complaints about the interview (including from me) and they’ve read out a couple of them complaining about the interiew.

    Derbyshire is just a vile woman.

The student replied that he could only see it going one way and VD was very keen to point out that there was still two years to go and anything could happen; which is true, but you could hear the near despair in her BBC/NuLab voice.

    Aunti Pravda’s Social Cohesion, and the negatively suggested tone that follows the briefest mention of the initials B.N.P.

    You know – like this man!!!

    And where is al-beebs condemnation of both Ahmadinajad and chairman Brown over this little cowardly fiasco – in fact – the BBC have yet to mention Browns cowardice at all!!!!

    I personally don’t vote for the B.N.P. because their foundations come out of an extreme ideology. – I don’t need the outright manipulation of Nu Liebour and the BBC to work this out for myself.

    However – Al-Beebs Marxist propaganda wont wash either!!!

    And Gordon Browns Nu Liebour?

    Well!!! – At least, once upon a time, Robert Mugabe was democratically elected by his own people. – And the B.N.P. have not refused us a say on the largest evil of our time – The despicable E.U. Super state!!!

    But hey – with al-beeb these facts are no more than minor irritants to be washed away by ignoring them completely.

    The B.N.P. however!!!!!

    Well thats a more pressing evil of our time all together…

    @Allan@Oslo
    Well I can see nothing on the BNP site that I personally would consider evil. In fact there is a lot here (see extract below) that many people would like to see. I consider some of their policies naive, eg reducing foreign imports as an answer to our manufacturing decline, but as the EU have strong trade barriers it’s not ‘evil’.

    What is evil, is calling for gays to be killed, is to bomb people on the tube for not good reason, to make women second class citizens with no hope of escaping the religion that treats them thus. To hand over our country to a non democratic institution in a foreign land. To steal pensions. To give away honours to political doners. And on, and on it goes. Now who does this? And the BBC exposes little to none of it.

    Your comment of ‘evil’ with no further explanation is ‘bias’ in itself. Either you are as bad as the BBC or have been brainwashed by them.

    Selection from BNP website under polices.
    To ensure the British people retain their homeland and identity, we call for:-
    * an immediate halt to all further immigration,
    * the immediate deportation of criminal and illegal immigrants,
    the introduction of a system of voluntary resettlement whereby those immigrants who are legally here will be afforded the opportunity to return to their lands of ethnic origin assisted by a generous financial incentives both for individuals and for the countries in question.
    * We will abolish the ‘positive discrimination’ schemes that have made white Britons second-class citizens.
    * We are opposed to the Single European Currency, and support the overwhelming majority of the British people in their desire to keep the Pound and our traditional weights and measures.
    * At the same time, we are for the best possible relationship with our European neighbours and believe that the nations of Europe should be free to trade and cooperate whenever it is mutually beneficial, though without being forced into a political and economic straitjacket – political unification
    * We support the re-introduction of corporal punishment for petty criminals and vandals, and the restoration of capital punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers as an option for judges in cases where their guilt is proven beyond dispute
    * We will end the practice of politically correct indoctrination in all its guises and we will restore discipline in the classroom, give authority back to teachers and put far greater emphasis on training young people in the industrial and technological skills necessary in the modern world.
    * We will also seek to instill in our young people knowledge of and pride in the history, cultures and heritage of the native peoples of Britain.

    I think you didn’t quite get the irony of my previous post against which you are raging. The BBC is a clear and present danger to the UK: the BNP is not. I hope that’s clearer.

    Before anybody reads further, I am not attempting to sneak in favourable references to the BNP but I will assume that adults can be left alone to make up their own minds. On the BNP’s website, there is an article which claims that BBC personnel had attended courses on Common Purpose – the post-Marxist doctrine on elimination of the nation state.

    However the BBC’s inherant anti Christianity is shown up as much as its diabolical lack of respect for a grieving mother of whatever faith she is.

    I doubt this would have been asked even of the mother of a suicide bomber by ms Derbyshire.

    For just a moment, I suspect we’re all wrong about the BBC and its slavish support of Brown and Labour.

    Fraser Nelson has this to say on the Spectator website:

    The Tories minimised their exposure to anti-Thatcherism by knifing Thatcher and Major won the next election. The hot question at Westminster is whether Labour can and will do the same. My hunch is not: there’s no mechanism, no candidate. And Labour always keeps bad leaders for too long. It had Foot for three years and Kinnock for nine. A former Blair-era Cabinet member told me that this explains the otherwise inexplicable 49% support for the Tories • the Tories have supplanted the LibDems as the repository of anti-Labour votes. And for as long as Brown stays, the more resentment there will be against this PM whom no one elected. This is why Brown’s survival is vital to Tory chances at the next election. Anti-Brownism is a force very much out there in Britain and I suspect his sofa offensive will only reinforce the public’s reservations about him. So the Tories had best be careful how they do in Crewe: I know more than a few Shadow Cabinet members who would see victory there as a mixed blessing. They have their eye on a new formula, more important: the longer Brown stays in the current climate, the greater Cameron’s majority will be.

    It’s at the bottom of this post:

    The writing’s on the wall

    So are they just blinded by ideology at Broadcasting House, or secret admirers of “Call Me Dave”? It’s probably just that they must have Labour at all costs, and damn the consequences, but still…..
