BBC must be gutted to see Denis MacShane, one of their favourite pro EU go-to guys, being forced to resign from Parliament owing to expenses fiddling. A Biased BBC reader observes;
“This evening (Friday)just after 5 pm Eddie Mair and Paul Mason were discussing the Dennis McShane resignation and the tone of it was that because he was reported by the BNP it was all their fault and not his. Now I have no time for the BNP but surely the fact is he is guilty never mind who reported it?”
How about the garage that was turned into a office (but is still a garage) charge to the public purse £125.000.
McShane is clearly a deeply flawed individual and deserves what he is getting. But let’s not forget the good fight he fought against anti-semitism ( as Stephen Pollard points out). That I think is why the role in his demise of the anti-Semitic filth that is the BNP sticks in the craw.
Here here.
I would put this down to the fact that he is one of their own. Wiki states: “he worked for the BBC from 1969 to 1977”. Despite the fact that Savile was also working for the BBC at this time, the Labour MP and Expenses cheat, probably gets the ‘kid gloves’ approach, because he worked for the BBC. I think its as simple as that! Personally I remember when his daughter died in 2004, and was amazed to see him laughing and smiling on Newsnight so soon afterwards ( a few weeks), I thought then that there must be something seriously pyschologically flawed in his character.
…and, of course, his Europhilia
Yes of course a member of Newsnight’s Europhile ring
Here, here @ JD.
No suprise then that the Hitler lovers reported him.
Point of order hippiepooter and Marcus: it’s “HEAR HEAR” not “HERE HERE”; the latter presumably sometimes used near the end of a game of hide and seek.
Thank you. Point of order recognised!
Likewise.
probably more to do with the £20,000 grant the EISCA got.
Also, he does seem to want to play politics with his ‘heroic’ anti-anti-Semitism, case in point his wilful ignorance of the Latvian “SS celebrations”.

I take it you will be criticising all who attend firework displays this weekend too? After all they are celebrating religious bigotry that killed many people, English people at that.
However we are really celebrating those that formed our national character, and fought a threat to it, ignoring the horrible side.
In Latvia Russia is seen as the dreadful enemy, in the same way Germany was in Britain after WWII. It is seen as such with good reason. However nasty the Latvian SS was, they are not celebrating the killing of Jews, but the fight against Russia.
Russia occupied Latvia until only 20 years ago. WWII is nearly 70 years ago, and to Latvians was the “Great Patriotic War” the Russians celebrate winning. It does not have the resonance it does here, where we are justly proud to have helped free the Jews of Europe. To them Russia is far more immediate, so far more important a part of WWII than the Holocaust is.
Doubting Rich, you have clearly misunderstood my comment. I know very well that most Latvians still hate the Russians and won’t speak Russian (unlike in in Lithuania where there is Russophilia). My comment is about MacShane’s WILFUL IGNORANCE of the situation and his hiding behind a fight against anti-Semitism for political gain. The man is a maggot.
Dandy, you have no idea what you are talking about. Whilst I cannot stand the far left wing socialist BNP, they are NOT anti-semites. They are very pro Israeli these days. Nick Griffin has made many speeches in favour of Israel, because Israelis hate Muslims too.
The National Front WAS Anti-Semitic. The current BNP are not.
There is more than enough wrong with the BNP for them to be rightly attacked, that you should not need to lie about them and weaken your own argument too.
You are joking? Nick Griffin himself has produced numerous anti- Semitic screeds and is a holocaust denier. The Israel support is a tactical smoke screen (enemy’s enemy etc).
Read what Melanie Phillips thinks of the BNP.
Either you’re gullible or a BNP shill.
He also uses the “Z” word quite a lot, the usual code for ………….
JD, personally I would go for BNP shill. I just dont buy that anyone can be so genuinely naive.
I’ve noticed a fair bit of ‘I’m not BNP but ..’ apologia on B-BBC. It’s most disturbing a puts a huge question mark over the site.
Anyone who take support for Israel from a Holocaust denier seriously is either fool or a knave.
‘It’s most disturbing a puts a huge question mark over the site.’
While statements like that about what some individuals post freely on an unmodded blog should be accepted without question, as of course I do.
It hasn’t escaped peoples attention that the BBC tried to get Griffin jailed for highlighting muslim paedophile gangs targeting under age white girls whilst having a culture of paedophilia and sexual abuse within the Corporation itself….
The BNP scored another hit with the creature McShane,
If there was decency and honesty in public life it wouldn’t have fallen to the BNP to expose these crimes.
OLD NEWS DANDY!
He WAS antisemitic YEARS ago. He admits that he USED to deny the holocaust YEARS AGO! He changed his mind. He is very PRO Israel now and has been for some years.
Your blind hatred of Griffin has stopped you from keeping up.
When anyone claims that the SOCIALIST BNP is far right anti-semitic, what they are really saying is
I AM A BLIND IDIOTIC DOLT WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT!!!
doggywoggy
I actually remember seeing him relatively recently(don’t ask me where cos I can’t recall exactly)engage in holocaust denial
Yes, extreme nationalism is a very well known facet of left wing ideology.
One can’t ignore the socialist antecedentes of fascism and Nazism, so maybe we can go for ‘extreme right wing socialism’?
You don’t know what right-wing means, do you?
A hint: it has nothing to do with nationalism. It has nothing to do with racism. It has nothing to do with bigotry of any kind. Socialism is the opposite of right-wing, being left-wing.
Enough hints?
In fact nationalism and racism have far more historical connection with the left than the right, and surveys also connect them. The reasons are obvious: incomers threaten the jobs of unskilled workers, as do underpaid downtrodden minorities. Right-wing ideals support economic freedom which many consider requires freedom of movement. True free market would tend to reduce racism, as a cost in the system.
The reason people connect racism with right-wing is that academic leadership on the left (which is totally disconnected from its grass roots) is anti-racist, and that real right-wing politics has been in a long battlein Europe with a small number of authoritarian, corporatist idiots who go into politics thinking their right-wing because they don’t understand capitalism. They have had some political success largely because of an unholy alliance with corporatist statists on the Champagne socialist left.
Once a Nazi always a F*****G Nazi.
Doggy (woggy), either a puff or un PC.
Nick really would like the later part of your name. Won’t have em’ in you know.
Leaving aside the ‘Jimmy Saville raised a lot of money for charidee’ aspects of it all, you’re kind of meant to be against the whole Holocaust thing anyway. Being opposed to basement Nazis and 92 yeard old SS veterans is hardly Galileo in front of the Inquisition.
And, Jim lets not forget the anti-Semetic stance continuously adopted by the BBC. Balen identified it, the BBC pai a fortune to suppress it.
Dandy, I am also no fan of the BNP mainly due to its leadership BUT when you talk about filth I think you should direct it towards the UAF, they are truly appalling and sponsored mainly by the vacuous Left oh and the BBC seems to never criticise them either.
A party having a Nazi leadership does present a few problems I guess.
Maybe if the BNP were a Nazi Party with a non-Nazi leadership that would be OK.
Sheez.
What on Earth has the BNP got to do with it? Are you saying that expense fiddling should be ignored if the BNP points it out?
You know the real reason MacShane hates the BNP – they take votes from Labour in his paedophilia-riddled constituency of Rotherham.
They can only do this because MacShane cares as much about moslem grooming as he does about stealing taxpayers’ money. Same as you, eh?
‘Are you saying that expense fiddling should be ignored if the BNP points it out?’
That would appear to be the direction being pointed, or at least away from the actual facts.
Have to say, they could have got away with it if it wasn’t for you darn…
Typical lefty BBC supporters. The crime is irrelevant, it is who commits the crime that matters. One of their own? Let them off, turn the other way. Even if it is fraud, or paedophillia.
When it is a crime, no matter how minor, committed by someone on the right, they call for BLOOD!
McShane should be charged, tried in a court of law and if found guilty, as he probably would be, he should be thrown in jail!
Come on, it’s not as if he called a police woman a “Pleb” is it?
His political career should not be over for just a “few” little oversights.
(Rolley eyes all round)
‘Anti-Semitic filth’.
Bloody big irony alert for BBC defender Jim.

Denis Mcshane was the only MP who helped me to directly challenge the BBC over a programme which was racial incitement against Jews and he wasn’t even my MP..
Does not excuse his thieving.
No, but it will do. Keep an ear open for the drip-drip of a BBC-sponsored rehabilitation.
Yep. I can already feel a “Friends of Denis MacShame” front organization beinf started.
He did work for the BBC once upon a time after all.
Wasn’t he sacked for calling Reggie Maudling a crook?
The BNP were in no way involved in the fiddles he carried out so trying to deflect attention from his behaviour by moaning about the BNP is like crying about a burglar being caught because you don’t approve of the neighbour who identified him.
Quite apart from the BNP, others totally unconnected with them had also made the same complaints so even without the BNP input he would still have been in the same position. I have no truck with the BNP but trying to mitigate MacShane’s wrongdoings by trying to give the impression he was the subject of some kind of BNP set-up or plot is disingenuous to say the least. He made his own difficulties and created the reasons behind his own downfall.
On the 1.00 pm R4 news programme yesterday there was a longish interview with a friend of McShane’s who refused to condemn him, and said that he should not be pursued as this would play into the hands of the far right. This went virtually unchallenged.
You couldn’t make it up!
I judge people and companies by who they associate themselves with. bBC like Denis Macshane, nuff said.
Maybe we should start taking bets on when this smug, oily, patronising, holier-than-thou hypocrite will next be invited by the BBC to bless us with his omniscient wisdom.
After all, Galloway’s almost a permanent fixture.
As he committed a criminal act, “privilege” does not enter into it, he should go down. Few crimes are worse than stealing from the Public Purse and yet far too many got away with it and still it goes on…and on and on!
Whilst Parliament’s investigation was on-going, the evidence against the deeply corrupt, dishonest and sick minded traitor McShane was held under Parliamentary privilege.
Now that the report has been published, the evidence against him is now in the hands of the police, along with a fresh complaint against him.
He could yet go down for his alleged fraud.
As a dedicated UAF street warrior and committed white black-supremacist, I’d like to see all charges dropped and his place in parliament taken up again immediately.
I also call for the release of all Muslim peadophiles, due to the fact that Nick Griffin spoke about it happening whilst the authorities refused to act.
Quaint little ethnic traits such as the drugging, repeated rape, and occasional murder of a few ghastly pieces of white working/lower-middle class scum is what makes our rich, vibrant society so wonderful and unique!
That just has to be a job application for a permanent place on the BBC pay list or at least seeking a place on the speed dial of their Current Affairs Editors.
” rich, vibrant society” err……you missed out “diverse”.
Just saying.
…so ubiquitous a slogan in the public sector, it need barely be uttered anymore.
The sky is blue.
The grass is green.
Diversity is primary.
And doesn’t diversity go hand-in-hand with ‘vibrant’?
So he was accused by the BNP. So what!! they also accused certain sections of society of covering up child abuse in Rochdale. DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER!
And i’m not a bnp member or supporter . blahh blahh blahh.
Too true!
The BNP got `em in Rochdale etc, got MacShane too!
Thank you BNP!
Still a bunch of knuckle scrapers though-but am thankful for them in these couple of cases…hope they keep on going and get a few more…would look good on their leaflets too.
There was something about McShane that tickled the back of my memory. Thank goodness for wiki:
“After graduating from Oxford with a 3rd class degree, he worked for the BBC from 1969 to 1977, including as a newsreader and reporter on Wolverhampton Wanderers for BBC Radio Birmingham. He changed his surname to his mother’s maiden name at the request of his employers. He was fired by the BBC after using a fake name to call the radio phone-in programme he worked on at the time. During the call, MacShane accused leading Conservative politician Reginald Maudling of being a crook, with the MP threatening to sue as a result”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_MacShane
If I remember the details which were the subject of great hilarity in the corridors of the beeb, there were no calls coming to the show, so MacShane left the studio went into the next office, rang in as someone else and in an “uncontrolled moment” got carried away and slagged Maudling off. Classic.
Talk about a man ahead of his time! Sounds like an early template for New Labour. No wonder he got a cabinet post.
Blaming the BNP and racists for bringing him down, combating his dishonesty, has to be a very original way of playing the race card.
The BBC and the rest of their Socialists friends should be very afraid. If things keep going the way they are in this country we will have a British Golden Dawn very soon.
Then the they can experience rough justice for the world they created.
Is this the real Earls Court or is it someone passing themselves off as Earls Court?
How do we know you two haven’t swapped roles?
Actually we are both BBC common purpose employees that are subversives on this site.
We meet up everyday at my Islington mansion to drink fairtrade Latte, talk Marxist theory and work how to destroy this site.
P.S. I’ve got a brand new tinfoil hat from my good friend David Icke.
Hmmmm….
Have you been reading some of my previous posts then?
This belongs on the Stormfront website, not here. Earls court, you’re dragging this site into the sewer. Anyone who liked that comment needs to have a rethink of why you read this blog.
I’m fed up.
I see where you’re coming from, David, but he does have a point, however crudely put. The way multiculturalism and mass immigration has been imposed on the people of the UK without so much of a passing mention in anyone’s manifesto (naming no names, but we all know who we’re talking about), the instant howling of ‘racist’ as soon as you voice any disagreement and the perceived preferential treatment of the immigrant population – especially Muslims – is the surest way to breed a far right backlash a la Golden Dawn that I can think of.
This is the mess the Left have created, and they thought they were being so clever.
Very sad for the people of this country, whatever their origin.
I am not racist.
What I meant by that post is in bad times people look to extreme remedies.
If Greece was doing well, then Golden Dawn would just be a bunch of racists no wants anything to do with.
The left has caused the mess in this country, Greece and anywhere else they have power.
If there is any justice the left/liberal establishment would be removed from having anymore power and not a single ethnic of any kind would suffer anything bad.
Much better phrasing, Earls court. Thank you.
Thank You sir
He deserves what he gets. The BNP’s involvement sticks in the craw because they are anti-Semitic and went after him because of his honourable record against anti-Semitic goons like the BNP.
Remember when the BBC made substantial allegations against members of the Islamic community for “grooming and raping kids”?
How did the liberal left establishment react to such ACCURATE allegations? Did they investigate them?
NO they charged Griffin with racial offenses instead!!! and thus covered up and enabled the perverts to carry on raping kids over and over again!
*TYPO* Not the BBC I meant, the BNP made allegations of…
That’s one HELL of a typo !
Freudian slip, I’m sure: they’re both Left-wing organizations obsessed with race.
No response from Jim to that one, I’ll wager.
The BBC and McShane, both from the same Leftie school of hypocrisy.
Jimmy Savile apparently raised £40+million for charity. Is that sufficient justification to regret his disgusting sexual habits? The Krays were wonderful to their mother which, on a similar basis I suppose, excuses lifetimes of thuggery and crime.
As with MacShane: fighting against anti-semitism excuses him nothing. The man’s a crook, pure and simple. Also, as with the Jimmy Savile affair, MacShane’s corruption must have been fairly widely known. Why was it left to the BNP and not a well-known, generously funded and genetically impartial organisation (and Jim Dandy’s employer?) to spill the beans?
What I suspect sticks in Jim’s craw is not that the BNP were instrumental in MacShane’s downfall, it’s that a Labour lefty got exposed and shamed. Had this been a Conservative fighter against anti-semitism, I suspect Jim would have had a moment of quiet satisfaction that another “fascist” had been disposed of wherever the info came from.

…and buddy of MacShane on the EISCA
…birds of a feather – line their nests together.
Poet laureate in waiting.
I listened to the Today programme this morning and do you know – they forgot to mention McShane in either the 8pm or 8.30 bulletins – either they forgot or they were too busy mentioning an unamed Tory MP from 30 or 40 years ago who may or may not have done the same thing as Jimmy Saville did – but they couldn’t be bothered to report that until ITV beat them to it.
He is now the sixth Labour MP committing expenses fraud, after Elliot Morley, Jim Devine, David Chaytor and Eric Illsley – all of whom served prison terms – and Margaret Moran, who got away with it after claiming to be too ill to stand trial.
Many other MPs took advantage of their lax expenses system, charging for gardening, expensive mortgages etc, but it’s only Labour MPs who invented fictional ‘expenses’ just to line their own pockets.
Are the Labour loonies just more dishonest, or more stupid? I look forward to the BBC investigation.
The BBC will present its findings on Panorama soon, along with an expose of the tax fiddlers at Broadcasting House, the Balen Report into institutional anti-semitism, a list of the corporation’s contacts at the European Commission, the banns of marriage between staff and Labour Party activists, and receipts for cocaine expenses out of license fee revenue.

Good God! The details of the murder committed by the man employed by the BBC and Channel 4 (mentioned in the video clip) as an ‘investigator’ are unbelievably shocking…
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2004/aug/19/crime.broadcasting
They hired a man with a criminal record and a history of violence and “approach with extreme caution” and “psychopath” tattoos.
Think they might have to make a 2 part Panorama special, you missed out the settled science of “Climate Change”, the non reporting of Muslim pea-do gangs and their overwhelming support of Manchester City Fc.
And what about the ex BBC staffers who disgracefully now work for the SNP, or have stated publicly they support it?
‘He is now the sixth Labour MP committing expenses fraud’
Tip of the iceberg – and so many are socialists.
eg. ‘Harry Michael Cohen (born 10 December 1949) is a British Labour Party politician, who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Leyton and Wanstead from 1983 to 2010’
‘On 22 January 2010 the Standards and Privileges Committee of the House of Commons published its report into Cohen’s expenses and concluded that he had received over £60,000 in expenses to which he was not entitled. The report did recognise that the ill-health of Cohen’s wife (she suffered a stroke in 2004) had been a significant factor in the decisions he had made but maintained that he had still committed a serious breach of the rules’
‘They have three cats and a Jack Russell named Rosa, after Rosa Luxemburg’
I’ll bet they do.
But get your news from the BBC and it’s all duckhouses and moats
Indeed! I was waiting for Ed Miliband to call for an inquiry into the whole matter.
Even dinosaur lefty Ken Livingstone was putting the boot in to the disgraced conman, MacShame and said, “there was always something creepy about him.” What’s that old saying about pots and kettles?
Now, just how do we rid ourselves of another flesh crawling old conman, Keith Vaz?
I’m a very proud BNP voter today.
Thank god that us “knuckledraggers” are around to expose the thieving MP’s and islamic child rapists our “betters” are more than happy to protect and let loose upon us.
That the BBC are upset about the BNP’s war on one of their own is icing on the cake.
Is it true that Nick Griffin works for MI5?
No, he works for MFI…what he knows about kitchen tops is a joy to behold.
Oh, sorry, I thought you said Dick Stiffin…nice lad, a bit racist from time to time though.

you sure he isn’t employed by the bbc?
No thats the founder of ‘Searchlight’

‘Why does the BBC think its remit includes rehabilitating the careers of ex-politicians?’
How long before MacShane has his own seat somewhere in the BBC?
And when will Jacqui Smith get her collar felt? MacShane pilfers a few grand and Smith makes off with what? £116,000 that’s what!
Jacqui Smith will not be investigated for claiming £116,000 of taxpayer-funded Commons expenses for her family home.
‘Parliamentary sleaze watchdog John Lyon said there was ‘not sufficient evidence for an inquiry’ while the Home Secretary broke her silence to say she had ‘played by the rules.’ ‘
What party is was MacShane in?…
Oh…so are political parties relevant?…sometimes:
Fucking thieving Polak- just like the rest of em stealing the lead of church roofs, metal off war memorials, the carp out of our rivers and the copper cables off our frigging railways. He probably campaigns against anti-semitism because his ancestors were part of it.
Totally untrue, his grandfather died in a concentration camp: falling off his gun tower.
(I’ll get my coat)
Don`t want to go all Nicked/rwb/Jim or prole on you friend, but I`m not happy at all with this.
Poland is a unique country-not many countries have been liquidated and removed from the map like Poland has.
It has a proud people of strong faith, and is very much the coming country.
I know of its anti-semitism of old, but no other country was so loathed by the Nazis, and so evilly treated by the Soviets.
That ought to tell you something.
I was there this summer-and the land of John Paul 2 is a huge potential ally-and a true friend of this country…of the USA and of Thatcher.
I don`t care what McShane is or isn`t-but don`t smear the Poles. You need them-and you`re going to need them even more in the coming years!
Any animus against the Poles felt by some in this country can be laid directly at the feet of New Labour incompetence concerning control of he movement of workers at the time of Poland’s EU entry. TG it should prove to have been temporary.
We did more than enough for the Poles during the war, we lost a third of a million people (because of their intransigence over the German city of Danzig), our cities were flattened, we were bankrupted and we lost our empire. The Poles weren’t exactly angels either, during the inter-war years they treated their minorities, particularly the Ukrainians, like shit. Chris, we do not need them and we owe them nothing. Your affection for the Poles seems to be based solely on the RC religion you share with them and which I do not.
Heard the radio 5 live bit at the end as I got in the car. Just heard the lady presenter say it was a shame as he was a regular participant. So is Keith Vaz love. Get used to it.
