In essence, the BBC meme is that in the aftermath of Islamistan murdering THOUSANDS of people in the USA, British security and intelligence services should have realised that their immediate priority was to ensure the UK did..not get involved in rendition or become complicit in any way with the “torture” of alleged Jihadists. They’ve been dragging this theme out all morning, culminating in Universal Shami getting a canter through the whingfest just after 8am. The image of BBC icon, Binyam Mohammad, graces the Today programme for additional emphasis.
What really irritates me is not just the BBC’s relentless undermining of the work undertaken by our Intelligence Services but the fact that ever since 9/11, the State Broadcaster has chosen to operate as a propaganda channel for every piece of Jihadist trash that has gotten as far as a microphone. (Am I allowed to “Jihadist trash”? – probably not on the BBC, as it might offend you know who) It has continuously maligned the motives and actions of our Armed Forces and also of our Intelligence services whilst simultaneously portraying those captured followers of the religion of peace as kindly folk who only want to be our friend. (Maybe they’ll give Binyam his own TV Show, maybe call it “Britain’s got Jihad” or “Dancing on lies”? )
I often wonder how our nation could have successfully prosecuted WW2 had the BBC as much influence then as it does now? The constant BBC drip drip drip that erodes our National confidence in those who try to defend us from the ever present threat of more Islamic terror is a malignancy that we just cannot continue to finance. Don’t you think?
