I’m sure B-BBC readers will have been aware of the fact that twenty years ago this day, Pan Am Flight 103 was blown apart at 35,000 ft over the little Scottish town of Lockerbie. I read this BBC article on it but despite having checked it twice, there appears to be a missing word. It begins with “T”…wonder can you help me find it? Twenty years later, the verminous BBC refuse to call this event for what it was.
20 YEARS AGO TODAY BUT ONE WORD MISSING

Not one word missing but two. Terrorist is the first. The second begins with M.
Fatboy
You will never catch those two words in a BBC sentence – unless of course Muslims are the victims of terrorism.
“Islamic militants” the toads called them on R4’s 10pm news.
“Megrahi, who was recently diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer…”
Poor him. Typical Beeb sympathy vote
Wait, the BBC does use the T-word to describe the Lockerbie bombing – when it affects Beeboids:
Journalists recall bomb atrocity
Here, four journalists, Willie Johnston, Doug Archibald, Atholl Duncan and Colin Blane, recall their involvement in the worst terrorist atrocity on UK soil.
So sometimes these subjective, emotional terms are acceptable under BBC editorial policy. Priceless.
A very good friend of mine was booked on that flight – she decided at the last minute to delay her return to the States until after Christmas. By the closest of threads……….
Last night while reading my book I flicked through the channels to see what was on and came across the bBC news channel. Its lead was all about Lockerbie.. But you know what for the life in me I didn’t hear why that Plane exploded over Scotland.
Then the bBC zapped over to Heathrow where they had the affront to press the case for fox Mulder to come across and open up a new X-file because the governments of the world are conspiring in which to keep the truth from us all and that , terrorist banged up in Scotland for placing that bomb on Pan-Am flight 103 is actually an innocent man.
They left out he was an Libyan security agent and also at the time the head of Libyan airlines security and that he just happened to be in Malta when that suitcase (containing the bomb) started its journey.
How his appeal to that great bBC sop the European Court of Human Rights was thrown out in 2003.That the bomb was found to have been secreted inside a Toshiba radio cassette player which was identical to one found by German intelligence 2 months earlier.
They left out how Gaddiffi wanted revenge for the Yanks kicking his arse 2 years before
And they left out how it was an Islamic terrorist attack.
Fatboy: is the M – Motherfucker? Or Motheater?
Just thought I would take some guesses…

So finally the beeb has ‘fessed up?
I knew it couldn’t be the shambolic Libyans or the PFLP Damascus office.
It had to be an organization of global reach with a ‘unique method of funding’.

As usual, they don’t even realize what they’re doing. It’s just so self-absorbed, you know? More evidence of the disconnect we all complain about.
