He’s either a satirical genius or forgot the ‘about’.
Jake Wallis Simons is a Telegraph features writer and a novelist. He also broadcasts for BBC Radio 4. His novels include the award-winning The English German Girl (2011), a historical novel about the Kindertransport, and The Pure (2012), a thriller about the Mossad which he wrote under the name Jake Simons.
http://www.notabaddad.com/2012/07/the-pure/
“The story concerns Uzi, an ex Mossad agent, now resident in London. Uzi’s disaffection with his ex employers has reached such an intensity that he’s struggling to cope, hearing voices, dealing drugs and planning to sell Israeli assassination secrets to WikiLeaks. ”
no surprises there then…
Sorry the first quote is from Guess Who’s link to the Telegraph.
“The Jake Wallis Simmons Show” will shortly begin in the Newsnight slot on BBC2.
BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight
Here’s #newsnight’s @StephenSmithBBC with article about whether we should care if travel writers stray from the truth http://bbc.in/Y9hlqL
Beyond my ongoing interest in ‘speaking for the nation’ inclusivity by the media, one has to give Newsnight full marks for cojones at least, all things considered.
…perhaps they consider Jeremy Bowen a ‘travel writer’.
Egypt.
Shocker for INBBC:
“Muslim Brotherhood offices torched, Morsi on defensive”
http://www.france24.com/en/20121123-morsi-protesters-torch-muslim-brotherhood-offices-egypt
‘Sky News’:-
“Egypt Protests: Brotherhood Offices Set Alight
A number of Muslim Brotherhood’s offices are torched as protesters gather for a day of outrage against President Morsi.”
http://news.sky.com/story/1015314/egypt-protests-brotherhood-offices-set-alight
Of course, INBBC spins it this way:-
“Egypt President Mursi defends new powers amid protests”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-20458148
in classic MB style, he is defending his new “self given” powers, as a need to ensure a smooth ahem “transition” following the bbc fave, “arab spring” …
and of course, don t forget that er … “freedom and democracy” ? 😀 are the first things that come to mind, when you think of the muslim brotherhood eh! 😀
ooooh! 😀 …. what could go wrong
‘in classic MB style, he is defending his new “self given” powers,’
That would make him not too different to certain newly-minted market rate (plus a bit) DG’s the UK public appear to have been presented with, then.
‘BBC calling, BBC calling…’
He’ll need all the powers he can get. According to my favourite alarmist middle-eastern news-sheet,, Debka file, Obama will be deploying US troops to Sinai next week to prevent Iranian and Libyan weapons getting through to Gaza. Far from humiliating the Israelis, Hamas have in fact shot themselves in the foot. It’s always fun to see if their astounding tales turn out to be true.
http://www.debka.com/
Obama? Deploy troops?? I’ll believe that one when I see it.
Another BBC devotee of the Cult of Obama.
This was BBC journalist Mario Cacciottolo’s response to Obama’s re-election:
It’s one thing to be a journalist with political sympathies, but the gushing devotion for Obama one sees expressed repeatedly by BBC journalists is on a level of weirdness I simply can’t get my head around. There seems to be a BBC newsroom mindset that fosters a genuine love for Obama, a love normally seen only in cults and totalitarian states.
It’s beginning to freak me out.
Not in my name!
I don’t doubt they like us better when we have a good Democrat like Obama at our head, but it’s got nothing to do with him being cool and classy and EVERYTHING to do with him being a squishy chew toy for America’s enemies.
Your correct, it is very weird. If he’s a child, one could pass it off as a juvenile crush. But in an adult, what is it called; weird doesn’t do it justice. The man needs to talk to someone about it; maybe he’s gay and has a thing for coloured men in positions of power.
Oh, come on guys, it’s simple. He’s an ethnic minority and so is an object of veneration for anyone with left-wing views. These idiotic brainwashed lefties don’t actually believe what they’re saying but they MUST at all costs agree with the rest of the ‘in-crowd’ or else be ostracized, losing their public sector livelihood. If Obama was white, they’d loathe him!
Perhaps that’s the primary motivation of cultural relativism.their iconography would certainly indicate that.
The BBC needs a new Mandela.
Psychological infantilism. To deny the world was ful of bad people who meant them harm, the American left invented Bush as the cause of all bad things in the world (its all our fault), resulting in irrational Bush-hatred. To escape Bush they ran to embrace his polar opposite, Obama, resulting in the equally infantile expression of Obama love.
No self awareness these people. Head fits nicely up bottom.
As we all know, the BBC speaks on behalf of the world.
LMFAO!!! ..And pigs might fly..
Interesting coverage of Pres Obamas trip to Burma and meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi. Apart from the fact that I would not expect a US President to be all over a female political leader like a rash with cuddles and kisses; I noted the BBC who are usually quite rightly keen to broadcast words of peace, advice and wisdom, did not relay his speeches.
Could it possibly be the case that as according to newspaper reports he repeatedly mispronounced her name, and not just her name? Is this a BBC cover up?
It isn’t really a big deal, except that if this had been Bush or any other Republican it would have been broadcast time and again and The News Quiz, HIGNFU and every other so called BBC comedy show would have hung Bush out to dry, deriding his intelligence and fitness to lead the USA.
Jeremy hardy would be going on about it for years, the way he does about Tory politicians who went to prison in the last century
Newsnight Wednesday: report about
innocent muslims getting hard time in Burma. Was interested because BBC version of events total different from live news version earlier in year.
Maybe BBC telling truth, but due to their continuing role as muslim apologists am unable to believe anything they say on any subject involving Islam (thats the problem with bias)
But to the point, Aung San Suu clearly no longer flavour of month at BBC for not siding unequivocally with muslim immigrants.
Two cases of news bias. Some days ago R4, reporting CBI debate, says Cameron made such and such speech, then says Milibrain made such and such speech; then goes onto give a sample of Miliband speech. R5 today, this item, ‘Balls condemns Cameron for not getting agreement with other EU leaders’.
Do I expect ex news man now DG Hall to stop this kind of thing, NO.
Do we have to go to ‘Russia TV’ to get this sort of uninterrupted interview with UKIP’s Nigel Farage?
“Farage: Europe split in every way possible”
(5 min video)
I’m confused…
Nigel Farage was being interviewed…where was all the buttin in, the attempts to correct his facts…the slant that Cameron was getting it all wrong, pushing Farage into the line that Cameron was demanding “cutz ™”
Oh, it wasn’t on the BBC.

‘Nigel Farage was being interviewed…where was all the buttin in, the attempts to correct his facts…

Maybe not in the way they wanted, but… it is now.
Just when they thought it was safe to go out on the heath again.
Not a single interruption, wonderful. Why cant the prima donna interviewers of the BBC just ask a question and then STFU and listen to the answer? I want to hear Farrages opinion, not Paxman and Warks.

Fcuk Hollande and fcuk his French farmers!!
In a festival of bias this morning Today had on the directors of Windnutters Central (Tim Yeo, Ed Davey and a Greenpeace stormtrooper) to applaud the legal theft of, eventually, another £8 billion annually from the taxpayer/energy consumer. Yeo showed his utter contempt for the “little people” by claiming that this shift of wealth to him and his fellow conmen would mean “only about £2 week” on fuel bills. The sole criticism of the deal was from Greenpeace (representing itself and acting as catspaw for the BBC and all points left). The criticism resolved into a whine that the LibDems (in return for promising Osborne a quiet life for the next couple of weeks) had been bought far too cheaply. I don’t think Yeo or Cameron’s father-in-law (or even Dale Vince) would necessarily agree although I’m sure a few more pounds in these parasites’ bank accounts would have been welcome.
It does not matter to this Tory looter Yeo that 900 jobs have just been lost because of the eco green fraud. Thousands more jobs will go, people are getting ill with the old respiratory diseases we had in the olden days with damp cold bedding, kids are suffering and the elderly are dying.
And the rich are getting richer and the looters like Yeo and others are coining it in, thats the modern world of selfish profiteers and looters for you, its what you get when you vote for filth like the liblabcon.
And the lights will be going out circa 2017.
I loved this!
Wavey Davey might have been Huhnes Fingerbob, but at least he was clear in what he was (and was not ) saying.
I disagreed with nearly every word-but I heard his points were clear and unambiguous.
Ah but…he might be “saying” these things-but here is Nick Robinson from Strasbourg to tell us what he meant to have said, should have said, what the BBC wanted him to say…and, of course what his bitching an` griping with the Treasury REALLY means, despite it being supremely irrelevant to what had been said…ah, but it`s the tittle tattle that the Beeb seek.
Arrogant, self-serving, stooge-like predictable “analysis” from the Tag Team of Davis and Robinson…but hey, that is what the BBC are there for…to interpret the politicos, so Greenpeace get their coded messages for the day…dead pigeon notwithstanding.
And tonight-on PM…Cameron says hw left the summit “satisfied”…yet Robinson tells us that many of the rest of us will not be.
Who might they be Nick…yourself and the Labour Party, the Eurocranks and your editors and management?…
How DOES he..how do THEY get away with this perpetual slime and smear?…first and last word as ever to the BBC.
The Beeb’s Zubeida ( Urdu diminutive of Zubda, butter, cream. Elite, choicest part, quintessence, essence, prime, flower) Malik did a report from the Parisian banlieues on yesterdays R4 Today programme about a gang-rape epidemic without mentioning Muslim immigrants once, leaving the listener with the impression that male French youth had started acting very oddly. Berelowitz’s report on grooming published the day before yesterday has been criticised for ignoring the role of Muslim Pakistani men:
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/crime/article3607803.ece
The mail does an article on large scale grooming, abuse and pimping in Holland that puts Dutch-born Moroccan and Turkish men in the frame as the main culprits.
The Mail says: ” In Holland, as in Britain, the abusers are drawn from a tiny minority of their communities — which are appalled by their crimes. But the lover boys seem to see white girls as worthless, to be abused without a second thought.” If Zubeida Malik is anything to go by, some members of those communities (or co-religionists) are more interested in obfuscating and covering up their crimes – an activity tolerated by the BBC in a publicly financed journalist paid to keep the British people informed.
The Dutch are beginning to ditch political correctness at least to the extent of giving their girls a warning of who to be wary of and the treatment they can expect to get from them. Where the hell is the Beeb?

The BBC is so frightened of pointing the finger of blame at muslims, they piss their panties at the thought of implicating their islamic friends in criminal acts. Even when the do discuss organised child rape gangs you can hear and feel how terrible it is for them to be outside their comfort zone, they are terrified of upsetting their islamic friends.
From fearless reporter of the truth, in their own fantasies at least, to the reality of a bunch of cowardly apologists, desperate to look the other way and move on fast.
I think it has more to do with the absolute inability of a liberal to make a value judgement about anything so basic as culture and civilisation. . The liberal is what he or she is and that is a being literally petrified of offending the peer group by doing so.
“I think it has more to do with the absolute inability of a liberal to make a value judgement about anything”

I missed out on the last open thread. Problems with my broadband connection.
The debate about what this blog was for was interesting. I thought I would put tuppence worth in .
As I see it, on a narrow level, there are 3 major issues today that interest me:
1. The threat to westerner civilization posed by islamo – fascism.
– This ties into the faith of Israel, because Israel is the front line in this war. If Israel falls Europe will be next. Therefore the BBC’s media war on Israel is an important topic.
– It also ties into the BBC’s reporting of the position of Islam in our society.
2. The debate about AGW. Note – not global warning or climate change but AGW.
3. The rise of China as a world power.
On a broader level, my interest are in the preservation of western civilization and its judeo – christian values.
Western civilization, for all its faults and failing has 4 outstanding achievements:
1. Liberal – Democracy
2. Capitalism
3. The Scientific Method (basis on empiricism)
4. The symphonic orchestra
I once put this to an English friend of mine wanted replace the symphonic orchestra with ‘cricket’. I leave you to judge.
This site is important in challenging all that the BBC does to undermine western civilization.
“This site is important in challenging all that the BBC does to undermine western civilization. ” …………….. you really think so? Delusions of grandeur or what!! It is interesting to note that Ibn al-Haytham an Arab scholar who lived during the Islamic golden age is considered by some to be the father of modern scientific methodology.
The ‘Delusions of grandeur’ belong to the Islamists who invent ludicrous claims about ‘the islamic golden age’ which too often go unchallenged. Any Arab progress was made largely despite Islam, not because of it. We see modern Islam at its worst in the taliban and in Mali destroying the modern world. Given their way those societies would revert literally to the stone age within a generation.
Well said: Albaman doesn’t seem to realise that isn’t even clear if he was an Arab or Persian, given other Persian polymaths I would suggest he was the latter; being a Persian mathematician, astronomer and philosopher heavily influenced by the Greeks it is probable he saw Islam to be nothing more than the fantasies and ramblings of an insecure-with-violent-tendencies cave-dwelling psycho.
Islamic golden age?….oxymoron or what!
If that is the case how come their barbaric practices condemn them to living like savages. Civilized my arse!
good evening Nicked. Missed you, NOT!
“Nicked”?
And in the last 300 years the achievements of the Islamic world are exactly what?
There do seem to have been a rather large amount of Jewish Nobel winners in the sciences and medicine in the last 50 years. remind me again how many Nobel winners come from the Dar al Islam
To be fair, followers of the religion of peace do seem to at least taken a serious interest still in Alfred Nobel’s earlier achievements, though of course his famous prize was inspired by horror at what those of a less humane persuasion sought (and still seek) to impose with his invention.
I believe the BBC’s finest still view them as freedom fighters or, most recently, farmers, metal recyclers and of course bus protestors.
you missed plumbers out
Yes. I have heard that. I have also heard that. Nothing to do with the Greeks then or Buddhist scholarship that pre-dated “the Islamic golden age”.
Albaman “Delusions of garndeur” indeed. Look your man up (Ibn al-Haytham)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhazen.
or in the Britanica online Encyclopedia.
You will find that that he is regarded as having “.(Alhazen) made significant improvements in optics, physical science, and the scientific method.” Who has delusions of grandeur”?
If you Google the him you will find two claims to him being the ‘father’ of the scientific method or the “first scientist”.
One is on the BBC News Channel (no suprises there) written by Professor Jim Al-Khalili and a biography by Bradley Steffens. Now I do not dispute that Islamic scholars and scientist made advances in science during a vigorous period of expansion. However, what has to be explained is the stagnation that followed. Why was there a closing of the mind. The Catholic church also attempted to close the development of rational scientific though in Europe. However, it failed and rational scientific thought took deep root, and it became embedded in western culture in a way it never was able to penetrate and infuse Islamic culture.
Then the BBC come along and rational scientific thought is suppressed again, as in ‘the science is settled’.
“Now I do not dispute that Islamic scholars and scientist made advances in science during a vigorous period of expansion
John Paul Jones, what you write is true BUT you dignify Albaman’s comment with respect it does not deserve. Like bod says above, this progress was made largely despite Islam, not because of it. How many advances over the last 200 years have been called ‘Christian’. This ‘Islamic Golden age’ as if things happened because of Islam is bullshit and needs to be highlighted as such.
You mean “Bacon”, dickhead.
AGW, using the Scientific Method (basis on empiricism).
How the debate is progressing in academia/mensa following up on the “Unified Theory of Climate“
With the increase in pressure using the Unified Theory of Climate, you get a calculation that gives a result for the 20th Century Man-made (also including volcanic CO2) warming of about 0.001 Kelvin.
This also follows the finding that Isotope analysis shows that 4 percent of the CO2, or a maximum of 15percent of the increase in CO2 in over 100 years was due to Man made and volcanic CO2 & a minimum 85percent was due to Nature.
Ice core data shows that this natural rather than man-made increase in CO2 was due to the 800 year lag in the changes in deep ocean CO2 levels after the Medieval Warm Period, which peaked about 800 years ago.
Therefore Global Warming was caused by:
Between 1913 and 1996, only one of eight Solar Cycles was longer than the mean Solar Cycle length of 11.04 years, the last of these was the shortest Solar Cycle for more than 200 years, the strength of the Suns magnetic field more than doubled, the cosmic ray flux fell by 11 percent and there was a 8.6 percent reduction in clouds.
When Solar magnetic activity is high, Cosmic Ray levels fall, this causes a decrease in low clouds and the Earths cloud albedo, this in turn causes Global Warming.
The speed of the centre of the Sun relative to the centre of mass or barycentre of the Solar System determines the length of the solar cycle, this in turn is caused by the orbits and masses of the Planets. This determines the average speed of the plasma within the Sun over each magnetic solar cycle.
Simple, but don’t tell the BBC. They read the Guardian and vote Labour, so would not be able to understand. They think a left-wing comedian with a drama degree would be best qualified to speak on behalf of those scientists and the rat-in-a-bucket science not censored by the BBC.

What?? In secret? How very BBC. Hopefully the press will slaughter them on this.
The police are being very patient, allowing Auntie bags of time to whitewash senior personnel in secret, before they make statements about Savile.
Perhaps it’s to do with the Met’s contractual arrangement with the Guardian, usually the first to find out which NoW hack will be fingered next.
I expect Auntie found out about the financial transfers and has threatened to tell all.

The overweaning power of Lord PATTEN must be ended.
-The purpose of putting up the following piece by BBC insider, and ex-BBC D.G, Greg Dyke is not to agree with his plug for new BBC D.G, Tony Hall, but to try to glean something of the undemocratic process at the centre of the BBC.
And Dyke’s section on Patten is somewhat enlightening:
[Excerpt]:-
“Even before the board had decided that the job should go to Entwistle, some of the other candidates were openly saying that they wouldn’t get it because Patten was determined to appoint Entwistle. So why was he so smitten with George? The argument goes that he was Patten’s sort of person – male, white, urbane, intellectual and public-school educated.
“But what about his lack of experience? Well, that’s where Patten would come in. He would guide and help his inexperienced protégé. As it turned out, Patten wasn’t exactly standing alongside George on the barricades when it all went wrong. And, as a result, young Entwistle was hung out to dry, his career effectively destroyed.”

Call me paranoid but
Yep – a senior moslem cop says EDL is grooming kids, and threatens to section or arrest……the kids.
Perhaps this is what Julia Middleton means by “leading beyond authority”?
But at least we now know how these particular ‘witches’ were found out
“Punished for supporting the EDL?”
“…social workers are also worried about McLeod’s previous alcohol and drug misuse, her aggressive behaviour and her alleged mental health issues“.
Read the whole article, including the words “previous” and “alleged”. Do you not encounter “aggressive” behaviour from the parents whose children you try to snatch?
Leftists like you are all the same – authoritarian, repressive of the peasants, treating children as state property, and full of lying propaganda.
GB Shaw would have loved you, and even Winston Smith would have – on the last page.
‘on the grounds that their membership of the UK Independence Party meant that they supported ‘racist’ policies.”’
Larks. Imagine if such filtering based on tribal prejudice and inaccuracy was prevalent in say, £4Bpa media monopolies with vast control and influence over UK policies.
Now… this ‘anonymous’ tip-off they needed to ‘investigate’… on the basis of membership of a legitimate party… how does this work? There was surely no legitimacy.
ps: For ‘balance’, as I type I am watching SKY on this. They have just lost the plot in an interview with Nigel Farage, with female anchor banging away over and over on racism of UKIP… and then trying to rig the ‘readers are saying’ emails to make out the country is split on tribal political social engineering prejudices are entirely legitimate if they conform to media luvvie obsessions with race.
Sorry Mrs. Joseph, Mr. Farage showed you for the naked racist that you are.
And with style and grace, if a little evident frustration with the totally bent media farce that passes for news in the UK today.
UKIP now gets my full attention at the polling booth.
Try and interpret that event away in the new media era.
Yep, should more than deservedly all backfire very nicely indeed in the voting booths against Rotherham Council’s truly disgusting Lefty loon’s.

The husband was a Royal Navy reservist for more than 30 years and works with disabled people, while his wife is a qualified nursery nurse.
Former Labour voters, they have been approved foster parents for nearly seven years and have looked after about a dozen different children, one of them in a placement lasting four years.

Will BBC make the connection?
The Rotherham LABOUR Council.
These people if they don’t change will end up hanging from lamp posts.
And not before time. They’re still blaming BNP “racists” for exposing Denis MacShane’s expense fiddling and triggering a by-election.
As reported on the bbc’s silent service.
McShane: Rotherham’s Labour MP until Parliament kicked him out a few weeks ago.
What is it with Rotherham’s Labour Party and ‘Social Services’?
Rotherham council’s logo is “Where Everybody Matters”…
http://owsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/overt-outrage-iii.html
What matters in Rotherham is
1) The moslem block vote
2) Whites only fit to be screwed
3) Children’s services run by CP graduate
They are just sheer and utter typical Lefty loon COWARDS! Scream when they want and stick their heads in the sand when they want.
Well, they certainly didn’t in the 06:00 R2 news – they clarified that the foster kids weren’t white and UKIP don’t approve of immigration.
You really couldn’t make it up !
Just as well the kids weren’t from a European background, isn’t it.
Lead story on Today, then lead off analysis piece with an incredulous Jim Naughtie, then an Evan Davis interview with Farage.
Thought the left wing bbc would have sought to bury this one.
….in which Davis used it as an opportunity to make comparisons between UKIP and the BNP. And Today have got previous.
I would like to think that even they
(the BBC) consider this a step too far
would like to.
Lefties have already picked that “the left wing” BBC have been leading with this story (their sarcastic emphasis) so I feel there’s a lot more to this story as to why the BBC are bigging it up now.
As I write this however, the lefty from the council is on Breakfast defending their decision. She is, of course, getting far more airtime than UKIP got this morning, so perhaps I have just answered my own question why the BBC is running it. They couldn’t hide it but they sure as heck will make sure the left’s view is the most prominent.
The opening sentence should have started with “Lefties have already picked up that” ….
Whilst a mainstay of the “right wing” press currently leads with:

No doubt the “cut and paste” expert has not turned up for work.
Wow a link to a paper we don’t pay for and can write what ever it likes as opposed to the BBC?? oh why bother you sound like just another bloody BBC sycophant , all deaf to truth !
Strange point of view when a substantial number of those posting here use similar “right wing” sources as evidence of the BBC’s bias.
A really great song for Albaman
Beginning to understand this site. Rule 1: Never disagree with the core contributors. Rule 2: Never forget rule 1!!
and who is it exactly that forces you come here to be offended?
or is it just out of control masochism?
Who said I was offended?
However it is true that you have come here and been offended, to quite a vocal extent, and yet you keep coming back.
I’m erring less on masochism and more on obsession if not for professional reasons.
People come on this site to attack the BBC’s left/liberal bias.
So if you are left-wing you will not be in the majority.
Does that mean we have a site dealing with perceived BBC bias which only welcomes those with a right wing bias? Does that mean that contrary to what is stated above polite disagreement is not welcome?
These are, one… sorry ‘we’… can presume, ‘genuine questions’?
And not simply the endless output of one paid on piecework rates?
Albaman – given the raison d’ etre of this site your time and efforts might be better spent trying to refute the well-founded accusations of bias. Your BBC has been taking a bit of a hammering on here, don’t you know, and your absence when the going gets tough doesn’t go unnoticed.
If you are able to point out the BBC bias from a left wing view point and are able to convince the other people reading the site, I am sure you are most welcome.
So the bias you would like to bring to our attention is……….?
Some people never touch on BBC bias ever and just attack liberals in general.
Or go on about US politics….
Where are those rules printed?
The only ones I recall are those set, and then hilariously cited and ‘policed’ to suit by your fellow Flokkers, who all appear to have seen a last cause before you or whose shifts have handed over.
You can find the statement regarding “polite disagreement” at the top right of this page. What makes you think I am paid to come here? Excuse my ignorance but what exactly is a “Flokker”.
‘You can find the statement regarding “polite disagreement” at the top right of this page.
Wasn’t looking for it, but thanks.
Here’s how the BBC handles its Charter obligations as we’re sharing:

What is written, and what then happens being, indeed, an issue, but more perhaps for the staff of a paid public sector quango than any posting to a free site.
What makes you think I am paid to come here?
Because doing it for any other reasons to the extent and in the manner you are would be a matter of concern.
Excuse my ignorance
Excused but already noted.
but what exactly is a “Flokker”.
Flokkers is a term hereabouts to describe those who hover in a holding pattern above the site to swoop down in oddly alternating ways, usually using strawmen or to cherry pick, and hence acquired the generic descriptive term of ‘cherry vultures’.
Hence.. flock as a collective, which in turn seemed to seamlessly morph into an easier descriptive taken from the Red Baron’s Circus (OK, just him, the rest were Albatrosses)… which given the techniques used was not surprising.
Hope that helps.

The point of this site is free speech about instances of bias shown by the tax payer funded BBC whose remit, amongst many noble aims, is to be unbiased.
Unlike the BBC you willl not get censored, neither will a thread be closed down if it isn’t following “the collective BBC viewpoint.”
Why does the BBC always refer to Margaret Thatcher as ‘Thatcher’?
Because they hate her. They do not just say ‘Thatcher all the time but mostly they do; same as ‘Cameron’ …HOWEVER, I have NEVER, EVER heard any of them say just ‘Miliband’, or ‘Brown’ or ‘Mandelson’ or ‘Campbell’ or ‘Blair’.
That’s another thing I loathed about the Blair era – the way he was always referred to as ‘Tony’, as if we were all on first name terms with this ‘regular bloke’ – everyone loves our Tone.
👿
‘Why does the BBC always refer to Margaret Thatcher as ‘Thatcher’? ‘
Not sure the written transcript does justice to the full sensory impact of such utterances.
In addition to tonality (still fondly recall Laura K’s epic tweets as folk walked in out of doors, where any Tory slinked, whilst Miliband always strode across thresholds like an Adonis) there is also the regular servicing of mics for saliva clogging.
ps: Polite reminder to avoid words like ‘never seen’ as the well-resourced BBC archive can easily make sure the relevant shift can score a quick smug counter.
Quite a few in this instance.
QED.
Poor Jim, and that was the high point.
Just when he thought he may score one for the team, along came those crazy kids and that darn dog from the BBC irony dome-squad again and spoilt it for all of them.
Just watched yet another BBC news item on the the government’s energy policy.
A couple of observations:
– Labour never get called to account for doing balls-all about securing our energy future (they only had 13 years in power, after all).
– Friends of the Earth always get a slot to parrot their eco-fantasies but we never hear from the opponents of ‘green’ energy or climate sceptics.
Funny, that, on the ‘impartial’, ‘balanced’ BBC.
Oh they did lots: don’t you remember their energy and climate change secretary? Ed Milisomething…
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/7550164/Climate-Change-Act-has-the-biggest-ever-bill.html
“One of the best-kept secrets of British politics – although it is there for all to see on a Government website – is the cost of what is by far the most expensive piece of legislation ever put through Parliament”
What – Labour – adding to the nation’s debt with unaffordable spending?
Never.
What – The BBC – holding Labour to account over it’s reckless, unaffordable spending and debt creation.
Never.
Delingpole has a view on this as well:-
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100191145/the-great-wind-terror-we-name-the-guilty-man/
He points out that even the “Business Green” website are less than impressed with Millipede as well as Tata’s warnings about job losses in manufacturing due th the uncompetitive enrgy prices in the UK.
it wasn’t Business Green, they are up Miliband’s arse as long as the money keeps coming. The thing Delingpole quotes is Ohm’s comment BELOW the Business Green article.
the gay marriage thingy, the BBC don’t like it when the Conservatives are promoting this. Hypocrites.
Greg Dyke has an article – The BBC can get out of this hole – in ‘The Telegraph’ (upon which I’ve given my comments).
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/9699031/The-BBC-can-get-out-of-this-hole.html#comment-717843678
…he’s getting a proper kicking!
Well deserved.
While I accept Dyke’s analysis of how poor and wrong-headed leadership from Patten led to Entwistle’s appointment and subsequent fall, there’s much to mock in what appears to be a combination of apologia and blame-shifting.
During my time at the corporation, we tried to define its basic values and came up with the overriding one that “trust is the foundation of the BBC”.
That joke writes itself.
He may also have to address a change made nearly two decades ago when the current affairs and news departments were merged. The events of recent weeks suggest it would be sensible to break them up, so that daily shows like Newsnight don’t get involved in long-term, costly investigations. Old current affairs hands such as myself would welcome that – the victory of 24-hour, rolling news over weekly current affairs right across broadcasting hasn’t necessarily been good for thoughtful investigative programming. At times, it has led to the wrong sort of journalists working on the wrong sort of programmes.
The wrong sort of journalists, full stop, are a large part of the problem at the BBC. Management cannot be blamed for everything. To wit:
Another of Hall’s crucial tasks is to sort out the BBC’s complex management structure. The problem is that there are “acting” leaders in virtually all the top jobs – news, radio, television and probably finance, too. A wealth of experience was lost after George Entwistle was appointed – people whom the BBC could have used to steady the ship and plan the future. In fact, some might have helped prevent the mess in the first place.
We’ve heard this excuse a lot recently. Problem is, official managers were in place when Newsnight spiked the Savile story. Can’t blame “acting managers’ for that one, or for any of the BBC’s problems preceding it. The people who Dyke claims might have saved the BBC from current mistakes have been there the whole time while the Corporation sinks to new lows in bias.
I can’t believe Dyke was stupid enough to write the bit about Patten appointing Entwistle because he was hideously white, when that line is of course the first thing everyone is going to throw back in his face regardless of the topic. I hope I never become so arrogant as to be so blind.
Egypt.
INBBC will not face up to the Islamic nature of its beloved ‘Arab Spring’ :
Barry Rubin-
“Egypt’s Islamist President Assumes Dictatorial Powers”
[Excerpt]:-
“It seems apparent this means to proceed toward the fundamental transformation of Egypt into an Islamist, Sharia-ruled state. If one views the 2011 revolution as a democratic one, then Mursi is destroying it. But of course he and the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafists see it as an Islamist revolution, parallel to the 1979 Iranian revolution though in Egyptian terms, of course. Lest there be any illusions about what this means, note that Mursi is one man whose legitimacy is not established in practice–despite having won an election–and who cannot depend on the country’s institutions to obey him. The power behind Mursi is not that he is president but that he has the support of the country’s strongest group, the Muslim Brotherhood, and can generally count on the Salafists as well.”
http://rubinreports.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/news-flash-egypts-islamist-president.html
“Our coverage of the Arab Spring was over-excited, admits BBC”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2164536/BBCs-coverage-Arab-Spring-sporadic-ignoring-uprisings-failed-favour-big-stories-Libya-Egypt.html
That is the least of it.
Another impartial internal inquiry, like Savile/Entwistle/Thompson/Uncle Tom Cobbley. They’ll be saying that tractor production has gone up next.
Yes, Hugh Sykes on PM Friday (R4) was squirming like a snake in a forked stick as Egypt’s already token democracy was being further dismembered by the BBC’s beloved Islamists.
It was wonderful to hear Sykes trying to pretend it wasn’t really an Islamist crack-down – only a temporary measure, la la la,,,
None so blind..!
Heard it! He reminded me of Conservatives before the last election trying to convince themselves Cameron just needed to be in power and then he’d show he was truly Conservative and Eurosceptic. They knew deep down he was nothing of the sort and it was the same here.
” Cameron just needed to be in power and then he’d show he was truly Conservative”
yep! and now Dopey Dave thinks that Turkey’s accession to the EU is wonderful thing too.
A true tory! NOT
As mentioned previously, re foster parents UKIP – members from multi communities now – equals racist?, foster parents EDL members from multi communities,(which campaigns against sharia – not a race – some aspects of islam- not a race) – equals racist?.
one has to ask what next?
just how far have the termites got?
hmm Rotheram council … wonderful record on child protection ?
ah! then on the bbc, bleats a social worker, from Rotherham, that these children have a ahem! … “distinct heritage” ?, that deserves to held with the “utmost care”?
what do they mean?
hmmmm
as they say ….
the plot sickens.
Re-education camps beckon for some, but which ones ought to go?
Oh the irony.
Re “distinct heritage”, there are umpteen charities, many in receipt of taxpayers’ money, for different ethnic groups, including the indigenous ethnic groups of the Uk….except that there’s only one for the English – the Steadfast Trust. Which had trouble getting registered owing to accusations of…you guessed it….racism
http://www.steadfasttrust.org.uk/
People with their own blogs might like to paste this in.
Not only has Newsnight’s sell by date elapsed, it has now passed its use by date and is becoming a health hazard. After attempting to endure Kirsty Wark’s harsh tones when presenting I’m now convinced it is so rank it will need double wrapping in polythene when the BBCeventually put it out – in case it harms unwitting local scavengers.
Last night there seemed to be a small effort to shrug off some of the criticism that it is a hopelessly dyed-in-the-wool liberal elite tool.
So we have an ordinary joe – an unfortunate man who lost a relative in the 7/7 London bombings. For some reason that escapes me (in these case we never hear about the compo elephant-in-the-room) he is upset about the appearance of his phone number on some News of the World (?) ‘phone hacking’ list that the cops once flashed him a quick shuftie of.
His beef with Brian Leveson is that he has become focused on celebrity and he fears politicians will use the the opportunity to control the press.
Interesting points.
We learn Hugh Grant has had a private last word with the PM pre-Leveson publication.
But there is a complete non sequitur in the argument as we return to familiar ground in the BBC studio. Newsnight guests and Kirsty herself simply want to talk about Cameron and Ms Brookes.
Please make it stop.
Has Paxo crawled out from under his stone yet?
BBC European correspondent on Today opining about the EU budget increase: ‘It’s 30 billion Euros over 7 years across 27 countries, which is not a huge amount’.
Bias, what bias?
….Evan Davies cuts to trailer for R4 programme later this morning (co-presenter the Rev Richard Coles, self-confessed opponent of all things Fatcher), in which guest Sir john Major gets a mention. Back to
Davis: ‘John Major….?’ (snigger)
Bias, what bias?
Something like the BBC advert which has Davis sat in a cafe (yeah, right like he’s ever done that) and his words are a barbed question critical of the Prime Minister for failing to act.
Don’t remember them doing that from 1997 to 2010.
BBC 5 Live this morning and credit where credit is due.
Phil Williams, standing in for someone or other, conducted a very good interview with the Rotherham stormtrooper-for-PC who runs their social services.
This is the institutional anti-UKIP case where we begin to learn how people of certain political leanings are not to be allowed to foster children.
Pertinent questions were asked and the drone was pressed to give answers.
The problem is that there is no way that the front line BBC stars such Richard Bacon, Nicky Campbell, or any of the female Plastic Paddies could be imagined doing this job of …..what shall we say…..holding power to account?
But we should ask ourselves how much the BBC have contributed over the years to discrediting UKIP, especially over perceptions of racist policy.
With UKIP it’s SPACE not RACE.
Evan Davis interviewing Nigel Farage on the inquisition-style happenings in Rotherham, turns it into another opportunity for linking UKIP to the BNP by asking Farage whether memebers of the BNP should be allowed to foster children.
Irrelevant, unless you’ve got an agenda to peddle.
Bias, what bias?
There is a by election for MacShane next week…nothing like kicking any opposition the week before.
Knowing how skilled the left and Labour are at spinning and manipulation would I be suspicious in thinking that somehow this was part of a plan to split the Tory vote?
Possible although they’d be silly to even think either or both will even scratch Labour’s majority. The test here is to see the number of non voters/none of the above/spoilt papers.
It allowed Farage to put clear blue water ( quite rightly) between ukip and the BNP. He did so with great aplomb. Remember it was Cameron who made the point about ‘closet racists’ so this isn’t a left right thing.
The BBC is blanket coveraging this one. Problematic for the B-BBC narrative, which would have the BBC suppressing the story or four square behind Rotherham; something it clearly is not.
And now perhaps Mr Dandy might like to address the point made by johnnythefish a couple of posts back?
To what extent was the outrageous decision in Rotherham influenced by the constant stream of BBC-Guardianista ‘UKIP=racist” twaddle, given regular airtime by BBC ‘comedians’ and others?
I point out again that it was David Cameron who said ukip was full of closet racists. BBC news has not to my knowledge made a similar accusation
Oh come on, Jim, the ‘it woz Cameron’ argument is completely irrelevant!
The BBC Left wing pack of comedians carry the subliminal message. Everyone expects politicians to lie. Comedians, like court jesters, are given permission to tell the truth. BBC’s coterie of lefty comedians abuse that freedom to tell even bigger lies.
The comedians are more biased than the BBC journalists, but have a pass to tell lies in the name of comedy. I lost count of the number of jokes at the expense of Obama – none.
Actually, Jim, when Davis raised it Farage sounded like he was about to explode – forget the words he used (‘preposterous’ one of them?) – but managed to steer Davis away. And anyway, why should Farage need an opportunity to put clear blue water between UKIP and the BNP? There is no sense, that I’m aware of, that the UKIP has any whiff of racism about it except in the eyes of the Left who will close down any debate on mass immigration – which brings me back to Davis and the BBC….as I said, they’ve got previous, and loads of it.
This was an opportunity to expose another example of the increasingly fascist thinking amongst some of our public servants who penalise decent, law-abiding citizens simply because they do not conform sufficiently with their PC world view, and it’s a worrying and dangerous trend.
Unsurprisingly, the opportunity was declined.
“And anyway, why should Farage need an opportunity to put clear blue water between UKIP and the BNP?”
Quite. Therein lies the negative assumption.
It’ll be “Andrew Neill demands that Labour expels Diane Abbott for racism” next.
Look guys, you need to get a grip here and realise just how successful has been the role of the MSM over the past decade.
A decade ago Nick Griffin was warning about paedo gangs operating oop north!
Result? the messenger was discredited and shot!
Smears were piled upon fact. They ignored the message, the rest is history.
EDL came next, and Tommy Robinson was banged up conveniently. Again, job partly done. Paxo failed utterly to demolish Tommy on Newsnight. I’d have thought Paxman would have relished a return match, but hell no, no invite back for Tommy!
Now the MSM are convinced they have UKIP on the run. Token Q’s by INBBC today. No venom, no bite, just straw men.
Where will it end?RSPCA (other animal welfare orgs available) takes way my rescue dog because I belong to the conservative party
FFS where is this bloody country going?
Ukip are legit. Griffin is a Holocaust denier. EDL proto-facist hooli scum.
It’s always struck me as comical how frequently progressive types are willing to describe some members of the indigenous working class as scum, whereas the almost limitless fantasies of indiscriminate violence and appalling acts of sexual abuse engaged in by a minority that shall be nameless is treated with an embarrassed flurry of excuses,
denials of its extent and demonisation of those who point it out. Whatever you may think of the EDL the illegalities that the police indulge in when dealing with them constitute a dark underbelly of ‘enlightened’ society. The current jailing of Tommy Robinson probably comes under this heading.
“Tommy Robinson” has a string of convictions for assault. He’s currently in custody for using a false passport.
The idea put about by the last few die-hards in the EDL that he’s some sort of “political prisoner” is embarrassingly pathetic.
Bring on the caliphate, when the lefties will make the lamp-posts bend to one side.
“embarrassingly pathetic” – you’re over doing it – as indeed are the establishment: I get the impression that behind all this all heavy-handedness it’s not the EDL the police and authorities are scared of – it’s the Muslims.
The largest group of Holocaust deniers in the world are also followers of the BBC’s favourite religion, and so we come full circle.
BBC Radio 3 announcer (in hushed tones)
And we rejoin the opera oncemore and we have missed nothing because the orchestra is just tuning in the background and we patiently await the curtain rising on the second act for that famous and familiar scene where the hero Capo Antonio appears on the balcony and is met by the massed BBC chorus who sing the anthem of praise…..caro maestro ti vogliamo bene…..dear master, we love you….our new DG we love you….cantiamo per la nostra cena…..we sing for our supper!
Is this the awful last act when the corporation is privatised and all the luvvies jump of the roof?
Watching news24 this morning I noted their were two guests captioned, intriguingly, broadcaster and food writer.
Curiosity led me to google their name, I needn’t have bothered.
Eek, *there*
Labour get snipes in at Cameron, courtesy of BBC news this morning, accusing him of being ‘weak’ and ‘isolated’ in the EU budget talks. This is, of course, after Miliband, who always has the interests of Britain at heart, had, along with rebel Tory backbenchers, given Cameron a mandate to seek cuts to the budget.
So what would Miliband have done? Our world-leading investigative journalists will be on his case soon, no doubt, to challenge his paradoxical position.
It’s OK, I’ll wait…..
Got plenty of time….
No rush now………………………
I noticed last night the reporting on the EU budget both at 6.00 pm and 10 pm on BBC1, it was obvious on the 6.00 pm news that things had not gone the Beebs way, ….sad voices as though reporting a death, by 10pm they had cheered up a bit, Labour had found a way of criticising Cameron that the BBC could report so still miserable – just quite as miserable,.
“Sad voices”
Oh dear.
I thought nick Robinson sounded like he was full of the joys of spring
Not as full of the joys of Spring as he was after Miliband’s party conference speech.
Try addressing my point about the lack of challenge on Miliband’s position, and the freedom allowed him by the BBC to sit on the sidelines and snipe.
Yep, the sad voice (done best by Fiona Bruce), like they’re reporting on a coachload of kiddies that have gone over a cliff. They’re not though, it’s usually when one of the beebs favoured people, organisations or political theories have hit the buffers.
That’s when the old tart – who complains that the corporation is sexist – isn’t flirting with the male viewers.
ROTHERHAM.
Will BBC make the link between 1.) and 2.)?
1.)
If you do not ‘actively promote multiculturalism’, Ms THACKER, Director for Children and Young People’s Services at Rotherham Council, will BAN you from fostering children.
ITV News:
“Rotherham Council: UKIP support made couple unsuitable”
[Excerpt]:-
“Joyce Thacker, the Director for Children and Young People’s Services at Rotherham Council says that UKIP’s commitment to ending multiculturalism made a couple who supported the party unsuitable for fostering children with specific cultural needs.”
http://www.itv.com/news/update/2012-11-24/rotherham-council-the-children-were-placed-there-as-an-emergency-placement/?
2.)
“‘Sexual predators’: Gang of Asian men weep as they are jailed for total of 32 years for abusing white girls as young as 12 ”
[Excerpt]:-
“Joyce Thacker, director of Rotherham’s children and young people’s services, said the girls were under child protection plans following family breakdowns or other issues with their behaviour.
“‘When we pieced together a map of what was happening we stepped in very quickly to move these girls to a place of safety outside Rotherham,’ she said.
“‘It started off as a grooming exercise by the men who became friendly with the girls, gave them gifts and introduced them to their friends.
“‘When they got used to being abused it just became a normal way of life for the girls. It is akin to self-harm.”

Sinister stuff. Actively promoting multiculturalism: the fact that the parents are raising ethnic minority children in an exceptional way isn’t enough.
This reminds me slightly of a case that made my local news, of a mixed race couple (he was white, she was black) wanting to become adoptive parents. The local authority rejected them on the grounds that they were considered to be ‘racially naive’.

I am white and my wife is black, married for 18 years, two mixed race children 16 and 17 years old. As we both have concerns over the UK’s immigration policies, and have voted Conservative or UKIP in various previous elections, do we risk having the kids taken off us?

The comments section balances all stripe of nutter and blowhard splendidly. No need for any more.
update They(BBC Comments) finally put one of my posts up, the shorter one at 529 whereas I posted it at no 344.
What the heck is going on up there is South Yorkshire?
Since when did job titles like hers get bestowed on the likes of Thacker?
A shop girl from two generations ago, whose only qualification is the have climbed Blairs lap dancer pole since 1997,…wearing little but their dads colliery flag and a Labour rosette urging Thatcher to drop dead.
Thacker-Thatcher…anybody not now agree that Margaret was right to run scum like Joyce out of anything to do with kids. She failed though in key areas-and Joyce is the product.
Thacker is just a grade down..or is that up?- from Sharon Shoesmith.
We`ve got a terrifying first whiffs of the wars soon to come…and anybody who settles for the likes of Thacker not being sent to prison(let her keep her vote!) for this hate crime of grievous slander and totalitarian evil, will regret soft-pedalling over cases like this one. Her kind are merely softening the ground for the coming offensive.
MacShane?-good Labour!…money was resting in his accounts etc.
Kid battered senseless by two “vulnerable boys” under the care of Doncaster next door?…no case to answer, be inappropriate to comment etc?
Muslim sex gangs for Pakistan?Bangladesh/Yemen/Afghanistan grooming raping white girls under the eyes of social workers in both Rotherham as well as the likes of Sheffield, Barnsley and Donnie?..what of it?…lessons will be learnt, and Labour MBC makes no apology for keeping Muhammad out of it all.
But vote for UKIP…and the witch-hunts and hounds of hell(mainly bitches at that level of malice and incompetence when it comes to “Childrens Services”-Strategic Directors for MBCs especially) get set loose to have you sent to the death camps…not today, not even tomorrow…but they`ll be coming if the likes of Thacker are not spiked and rendered neutral very soon.
It`s a perpetual war this spiritual one…we`ve had a key balloon go up today…and no code breakers required either to understand what labour see is the opposition in need of counselling, re-education or prohibition.
Just read Biblical references to the angels of light and the Man of Peace…Thacker and her like are the first wave…they`ll grow like pondweed if not eradicated from any attachment to public policy whatsoever!
UKIP aren`t up to this by themselves…Labour and the mindsets of Thacker, Harman, Toynbee that run them must be faced down and crushed…quickly.
She sounds Scottish to me!
Send her back…Shoesmith was from N.Ireland too.
Are Common Purpose doing some cultural subversion here?…creepy!
“She sounds Scottish to me!” …………… Sounds English to me but in any event what difference does her nationality make?
‘what difference does her nationality make?’
Probably about the same as folks’ membership status of political parties to their parental abilities, but, well, multiple standards do then seem to get some in pickles at times.
Brown, Wark, Naughtie as well as the BBCs open craving for Alex Salmond etc to win their Referendum, come what may.
Absolutely nothing against Scotland or the Scottish people-but do let me know if the Scottish Raj down here(as described by Paxman) has its equivalent up in Scottish political, media and Council life.
Is it still true that we English teachers can`t work in Scottish schools, whereas Scots could always work in England-as I recall this was true enough before New Labour.
Has that changed then?
Maybe she is English-certainly a curious hybrid, but still detected some Scottish influence.
If it`s as Anglophone up there, let me know-happy to correct my outdated ideas, if they`re no longer true.
I thought the BBC were pro labour? Labour are the bitter foes of the snp. Make your mind up BBBC.
Not really Jim.
That they are so similar and such a cosy two way scrap over old Socialist tropes , it`s pretty much the hysterical squabbling about the pronunciation of “shit” or “shite”…whether it`s a side or central parting of the Left in effect.
“Two cheeks of the same arse” as Galloway says.
They are cultural marxists, which means they will back the party or organization that will destroy the status quo the quickest.
Labour in England, SNP in Scotland.
Next.
It’s all down to a pecking order, Jim, as we all know.
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2005/11/11144557/45580
Subject to having the relevant qualifications there is no bar on any teacher from England moving to work in a Scottish school.
Was this always the case?
” Is it still true that we English teachers can`t work in Scottish schools, whereas Scots could always work in England”
ChrisH, sir, if you have to ask that Q you need to get out more. Try visiting North of the border.
Was last up there in 2002, and -don`t really have any plans to teach up there really, you know.
Just musing…maybe it was something | picked up on in my old teacher training, which was as near to the Scottish border as you could get.
Never worried about it. Great country!
Guido has ferreted out Thacker’s connections to Common Purpose.

I like the way they are labelled, and like to label themselves – it’s been done on this thread before now by certain visitors – as ‘progressives’.
In fact, they are creating chaos by slowly undermining a society that has taken several hundred years to evolve, and taking us backwards to a more primitive way of living.
Like wind turbines, where’s the progress in that?
How big a difference is there between:
1.) UK’s political class (inc BBC) which ‘actively promotes multiculturalism’, and
2.) Rotherham Labour Council’s Social Services which ‘actively promotes multiculturalism’ and bans those who don’t.
-Would an applicant get a job/promotion at the BBC if he/she were known to not ‘actively promote multiculturalism’?
“Multiculturalism — Merits and Debits”
by Paul Weston (an essay of 2007).
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.co.uk/2007/03/multiculturalism-merits-and-debits.html
I have read this and can tell you it is worth a read.
One good point that article makes is the people who think multiculturalism is great. Are all white middle class liberals that live in all white areas.
Ditto! An excellent read.
I was mulling over the possible mind set of the Rotherham council people with regard to the adoption scandal and UKIP. Then I thought of the bBC and all become clear. Has there been a cloning exercise going on for many years, how come there are so many of these lefty idiots?
not cloning, more like indoctrination, cutting out any non-malleable personnel, removing any non-conformist. The police managers, the judiciary, the charidees, the quangos, all are filled with ‘moulded’ look-and-sound-alikes.
So why, along with all decent opinion, are the BBC going for Rotherham on this? They would at the very least play down the story if your view was in anyway accurate.
Why then in the BBC comment section on this story am I moderated for saying that opposition to mass immigration does not equate to being racist. I must be off message.
I’m sure I can find it, but got a linky?
I like to chip in on such things, or not if they get closed early when comments are not ‘on message’, which given the topic would be ironic.
Because it is too big even for the BBC to ignore and because the BBC is running scared due to ‘recent events’.
It is not the lead item on the Daily Mail’s website. Larry Hagman’s death trumps it. It leads the BBC news on all platforms as far as I can see.
Genuine question: who broke the story? Or did Ukip put out a general release. Would be useful to know.
It’s worse than that Jim, it’s dead.
The whole edifice you have tried to prop up is crumbling around you and yours and your don’t seem able to cope.
‘But the Daily Mail..?’
Really? That is your divine wind?
BBC’s platforms are leading on it because they are so political they wouldn’t know how not to, while the Daily Mail can do as it pleases because they are seeking revenue by the choice of the public.
And the crisis management across Labour/Entire racism industry/ Common Purpose/ BBC is going to have to be mobilised to steer this one, as ignoring it simply wouldn’t wash.
And there will need to be more GOATS (echoes of Gordon’s market rate talents) on this altar as well, and Jon Humphrys is doubtless being prepped as we speak to reprise his defenestration of the last DG, long live the new DG.
Genuine question: why, when Dr. Gregory suddenly realised he was down a hole when his ‘points’ proved to be based on less than solid ground, did he too suddenly get all meek and querolous, using the exact same phrase? Is there a guidance manual in the event of emergencies?
Because I’d ask for a refund. This reads like you are phoning it in worse than Nick Robbo from hols to big up Balls without actually knowing what the issue even is.
I also look forward to your insights on Maturecheese suffering at the hands of the BBC censorship kapos for having no more than unapproved notions to theirs.
Closing the circle back to what we are discussing, and you are trying to insert your petty little spanners into.
And bad news for the rebuttosphere… it’s tipping down and freezing, so I (and I suspect many others with actual lives) am confined to quarters, with nothing but a PC to keep me occupied.
You’re a Common Purpose conspiracist! I didn’t know.
Does anyone else know who broke the story? My best guess is the Telegraph. But the BBC were very quickly onto it.
‘You’re a Common Purpose conspiracist!’
Oo, goodie… reinforcements back from union break (though sadly I after this am off to pick up the kids and then a family KFC – like most humans not on the meter Saturday night).
http://order-order.com/2012/11/24/progressive-culture-war-caused-rotheram-ukip-child-catcher/
I mentioned CP as well, as it has been rather invoked with regards to the protagonists. Which still is on point?
Care to explain how that makes me a CP Conspirator, other than you creating a distraction, he asks, genuinely, if rhetorically?
ps: ‘Best guesses’? Very BBC… see what you did there? Maybe not wisely, mind.
‘And the crisis management across Labour/Entire racism industry/ Common Purpose/ BBC is going to have to be mobilised to steer this one,’
An exemplary conspiracy.
Ignorance is strength, eh Jim?
You don’t think such a leftie network exists, then Jim? would that account for your lack of comment on the CMEP thread?
Can one also presume that any other post of yours with a question mark at end, but not prefaced with the ‘genuine’ sticker up front is… not genuine?
It would explain 99.9999% of your ‘output’.
Come off it Jim!
Your “process and timelines” notion is a classic BBC ploy to turn the moral evil shown , as merely a matter of politicking and gossip.
Start from 1st principles Jim…the only ones you need in this case.
Why did a Labour Council that appoints a Thacker…decide that they could prohibit foster carers from doing their job , just because they vote for UKIP?
This is South Yorkshire, not Saddams Iraq, Hitlers germany or Kims North Korea for Gods sake…and for you to miss the clear point here (just to squabble over votes or personalities) only goes to show how “embedded” in the liberal/Beeb mindset you`ve become, by posing these red herrings .
Labour thinks UKIP is racist, and has the power to declare it so as a debating point for your likes-very Goebbels..with yourself as the “good German” in effect!
This case is a Walter Wolfgang moment…funny how all these Gestapo gauleiter actions are all from the Socialist wing of Fascism isn`t it?
You might well have a point.
But back to the subject of the site: what do you think of Auntie’s coverage?
So far, so fair.
But only because it`s an “ecumenical matter” in that Labour are in agreement.
If Hatty or Yvette were unhappy with it all, then rest assured that this would be used to imply that only Tories and UKIP etc are racists to support these foster carers.
Still-no complaints based on what I`ve heard…but give it a few hours or so.
Cannot believe that the Beeb will see the slop bucket without an urge to kick it .
Coverage of what, though? This particular incidence, or more general coverage which has allowed an image of UKIP to be built up which made Rotheram council think they could get away with it (if it hadn’t been for those darned kids)?
“Rotherham Council probe into why children removed from UKIP foster family”
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/rotherham-council-probe-into-why-children-removed-from-ukip-foster-family-8348081.html
Does this mean that the Rotherham Labour Council will examine :
1.)
why the political ‘left’ (inc BBC) promotes the ‘multicultural’ dogma?
2.)
why the likes of Rotherham Labour Council ban people who don’t promote ‘multiculturalism’?
Maybe a probe into the picture editor’s affiliations too?
Is that picture a) fury? b) connected to this case?
The whole MSM is a nest of politically-charged vipers now.
The message seems to have sunk into their little minds that they’ve acted wrongly:
Council poised for U-turn after taking foster children away from UKIP members.

Have I Got News For You?
No.
Rumour has it that Ian Hislop used to be a satirist. Not since he took the shilling from pervie-Aunty BBC he aint. Last night he treated us to the regulation 5 minute hate for the Daily Mail – completely jokeless.
Markus Brigstock was on hand to nod approvingly.
Meanwhile Paul Merton treated us to another large helping to his oldtime vaudeville ‘oh look, here come the Royal family…they’re funny…ha ha ha’
Someone please find Merton’s long lost 91-year-old great uncle and catch him making some vaguely inappropriate remark and then rip the piss out him consistently once a week for the next decade.
New DG. You may find it impossible to axe Newsnight. It would be seen as too much of a loss of face.
But please do us a favour and put HIGNFY out of its own (and our) misery.
Hislop rubbished the Daily Mail report into the insidious Common Purpose organisation and it’s links to Levenson which makes you wonder whether he’s one of them. If you ask me HIGNFY should be taken out into a dark alley and shot.
It has become one of the laziest programmes on TV.
I think it actually IS the product of a ‘programme’ – a computer algorithm designed to churn out predictable, lefty establishment assumptions on the current week’s news agenda. It’s either that or they’re all reanimated corpses, strings attached, operated by some BBC Comedy department throwbacks of the 80s. Paul Merton certainly appears to have had a lifeless stare on the show for at least a decade now. Someone needs to let this one die permanently.
Bore.
BBC gets money from EU, hires Hislop, who like BBC toes EU PC line and makes Eye’s’ “Brussels Sprouts” column tiny and infrequent.
Hislop left his dying wife for a tart then went back until she was dead on the advice of his agent when it came out. “Recovering” alky.
At risk of alerting the daft side, who will gnaw anyway once aroused, I do not believe your final para to be the case on either basis, hence best checked before committing to print and, in conclusion, not always the optimal man over ball line to pursue anyway.
For years I have found him a most entertaining soul in this role, along with Mr. Merton, but they, and the programme itself has long since lost respective ways, and I gave up on it when it and they stopped being funny.
Can’t be sure, but it seemed to coincide with the use of ‘celeb’ politicians as guests or Chairpersons (Only BoJo in exception) who were little short of seat-squirmingly awful (maybe the reason, and set up to mock, which is ironic in some ways).
Like a favourite Aunt who has succumbed to dementia but still gets invited to the party to sit like Father Jack in the wing chair, as her hubby invites the kids to the potting shed to see his petunias as indulgent parents beam on.
Your comment re Hislops wife is an uttely false libel. They’ve been married 30 years.
lol still stuck on that libel word ? can you learn another big word for you next post please !
Worried about your twitter posts then? I would be.
please sir please sir someone’s been a naughty boy sir
the class snitch? 🙂
Damn, I meant MERTON left his dying wife – not Hislop.
Re foster parents UKIP – this morning, these so called “community” social workers, really had brass neck oblivious, to their anything outside their cocoon of crap,(reminicent of anyone 😀 ).
no matter what , what the questions … impervious … they just didn t …”get it”
foster parents UKIP members from multi communities now – equals racist?,
foster parents EDL members from multi communities,(which campaigns against sharia – not a race – some aspects of islam- not a race, that invites/open to all even muslims) – equals racist?.
one has to ask what next?
just how far have the termites got?
Any supposed council U turn, in reality means nothing … just like the soundbite meister himself dvd dave, it is all just PR
“hmm Rotherham council … wonderful record on child protection ? … not
ah! then on the bbc, bleats a social worker, from Rotherham, that these children have a ahem! … “distinct heritage” ?, that deserves to held with the “utmost care”?
so again i ask, what do they mean?” … no good waiting for the bbc to ask, as they are part of the problem
and on that issue … still no explanation.
2hrs 49.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01p0875/
council social workers spokewoman, joyce becker, here states they sought legal advice … who from? exactly?. that idiot from the black lawyers assoc, the decision is just as absurd.
its obvious she hasn t got a clue, or a leg to stand on,
its a decision made, purely for political correctness, over
clear wellbeing of disadvantaged children.
who from? …
oh nearly forgot …. give it a listen
an excellent bbc interview …. credit where due 😀
By eck, its grim ooop North!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/nov/13/labour-party-members-protest-rotherham
‘Labour party members protest against ‘outside’ candidate in Rotherham’
‘At least 60 card-carrying members stormed out of the meeting on Tuesday night, furious that Labour central command had shunned local hopefuls, including the favourite, popular town councillor Mahroof Hussain.’
‘One Labour insider said Hussain had been the “red hot favourite” locally but as a Muslim man was deemed too much of a risk to the party in the wake of the child sex grooming scandal involving Pakistani males in the constituency’
The Labour party sold out the people it is supposed to represent at 30 years ago.
About time there was a new political party to take away the Labour vote.
‘Chris Grayling: Rochdale child grooming shows Jimmy Savile culture ‘not gone away”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9639059/Chris-Grayling-Rochdale-child-grooming-shows-Jimmy-Savile-culture-not-gone-away.html
So I went into this dodgy kebab shop and some elderly blonde bloke with a big cigar leans over the counter and mutters ‘Good evening, kind Sir, and what can I fix for you Sir…Mister hungry customer?’
I notice that his fingers are covered in gold jewellry. ‘ows about that then?’
My attention is drawn to the sudden arrival outside the shop of a beat up car without a tax disc. ‘Want an unlicenced cab, mate?’ An odd looking man is driving the minicab. It turns out he is both the first cousin and the brother-in-law and indeed the uncle of the kebab shop man and he appears to be dressed from head to foot in tin foil.
Oh no, I gasp. That’s the last time I go out late in a Northern town. I might run into that Jimmy Savile culture – about which the Guardian and the BBC have told us so much that they have even got Government ministers believing it.
Where there is suspected grooming of young girls going on by certain groups of men and a lack of action, just phone the local authority and accuse them of being supporters of UKIP. Don’t know why we didn’t think of this before.
absolutely classic idea !
Have to smile at that first post, all things considered…

‘Lord Justice Leveson’s public inquiry into UK press standards is about to report. But the unfolding crisis shaking the BBC will muddy the waters. This is a call for delay.’
Interesting. So the BBC’s neck deep too? However, not so keen on the sudden inclusivity again…
‘[sic] its insidious because the readers and viewers don’t realise it exists’
Uh-huh. Care to tell the guys and gals here?
‘Now take the broadcasters. They think of themselves as bound by statute to be fair and good, on the side of the poor and downtrodden but also, guess what, uniquely in touch with the public!’
Have to like that ‘uniquely’. Deliberate?
‘all the press from broadsheets to tabloids are making a self serving point. And it is totally irrelevant. Two journalistic wrongs do not make a right.’
Bless. Really?
‘One piece of crap on Newsnight does not vindicate crap in the News of the World on an industrial scale. ‘
Here, let me help you with that:
One piece of unprofessional, distraction based tribal smearing on Newsnight, as part of a corporation-wide industrial scale meltdown across everything from the ME coverage to CAGW cover-ups, does not compare to one bit of crap in the News of the World.
There, that’s closer to it.
‘For this reason I believe’
Well, Lis, ‘belief’ appears to be what’s rather getting quite a few in the media into a bit of a pickle when actual reality intrudes on what they have been pushing from a position of professional competence, integrity and trust.

Mrs jtf puts me on first level disciplinary for not completing my weekly task list on time – forces me to listen to The Now Show.
Lots of, or some mentions:
Jesus
Bishops
Right-wing
Tories
Cameron
EU as a ‘good thing’
No mentions:
Left-wing
Islam
Mohammed
Rotherham
Obama (as in Burma gaffes)
Radio Asian Fever
Grooming
EU as a bloated, unelected, socialist bureaucracy
And apparently in the early days of the EU (guess they meant Common Market) European politicians were sophisticates who went out of their way to learn English (that’s De Gaulle down the Memory Hole, then), whilst British politicians were boorish toffs who refused to learn their languages and just spoke English to them in a loud voice (ignoring the fact French was the official language to start with, now English); we only ever hear bad things about Europe, and that’s also how our children are indoctrinated; Sally Bercow has more followers (59,000 on Twitter) than Jesus had in his day (i.e. just 12 disciples); Twitter enables liberals to fight back against bullying right-wing columnists; they did a brief ribbing of Miliband for siding with right-wing Tories on the EU budget vote; oh, and there was a nice little satire on Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness.
After 15 minutes Mrs jtf coudn’t put up with the screaming, released me from my straitjacket, and switched it off.
Perhaps the second half moved on to right-wing satire.
Not forgetting the awful song about Bishops, I heard it too as I had r4 on whilst walking to the allotment in the rain. Usual format, pick on CofE or Christians in general but ignore far worse behavior in other Religions. How very funny, not.
Mark Thompson has already said, so plainly, just why they won’t ever take the piss out of certain religions.
Only got a few minutes of some unfunny Scottish woman from the audience…well she seemed to be practising…just not funny.
Then Mitch Benn did a back of the fag thing about Radio 4 people running the BBC studios…and I just didn`t see the point.
There isn`t one-except to squauk on about “Fatch” and all things emanating from her reign over 20 years gone.
Useless crap- but I thank God for the funny bits of Harry and Paul…brilliant in parts!
I think you are all terribly brave listening to any of The Now Show – I gave up years ago – the blood pressure couldn’t stand it. Made MrD sound like Michael Winner (Calm down dear).
How different is the BBC’s political ideology to those of
a.) Islamising dictatorial Egyptian president Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood?
b.) Rotherham Labour Council and social services in ‘advocating multiculturalism’?
“The prejudice on display in Rotherham.”
By James Forsyth
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/2012/11/the-prejudice-on-display-in-rotherham/?
Just goes to prove: inside every liberal there’s a fascist struggling to get out.
NO the Liberal is just someone who hasn’t been mugged yet.
I think I heard it right but on today’s PM there was a long interview with a Scottish sounding woman about dance and Israel.
Self righteous was not in it. However what was disturbing was the length of the piece and the easy ride she was given and allowed to equate Israel with apartheid South Africa . So lacking in self awareness was she that she seemed to believe that to oppose Israel was a precondition of being regarded as a decent human being. Where does the BBC find these people? It is this steady drip of poison that is so invidious to the future of Israel and by extension ro the wholle ME.
Yes, I heard it (or some of it before switching to Classic FM – an eminently more enlightening experience). She kept on and on about this sodding dance group – Bathsheba, or something like it.
A story running on the media is about the couple have had three foster children removed from their care because they belong to the UK Independence Party.
Can anyone confirm what I heard (once before it was removed) on a BBC World Service news report on Friday/Saturday: the couple was referred to as an “indigenous white” couple? If you did can you give me some sources.
This is probably the link. The BBC and Ed Miliband desperately attempting to wash their hands of any responsibility for the racist behaviour displayed by Rotherham District Council. ‘Nuffink to do with me, guv.’:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20475812
i expect these kids will now be placed with a gay couple
Gay means happy not homosexual.
A same sex couple can’t have children because of their biology.
The world gets worser by the day.
yes, just one of a number of hijacked words: imagine someone from the 1920/30s arriving again and wanting a jolly chat: how about some gay intercourse my friend…he may get a shock!
one thing about this whole debacle is eminently clear …. there is no racism in that couple. only caring … once again the cancer of political correctness squarely put at the door of
the failed “multiculturalism”, experiment
“social worker, from Rotherham, these children have a ahem! … “distinct heritage” ?, that deserves to held with the “utmost care”?
again i ask, them what do they mean?
you know compared to all other children? you know in Rotherham! ?
MC – for it to be railroaded onto a public that do not want it, denied being able to voice justified criticism about it. breeds dissent, UKIP need to be firm, on this – their earlier policies should not be watered down, the public want to talk about immigration, and its catastrophic
affects – they will tell you what they think of political correctness. and bloody Rotherham council.
…. where were these social workers at the last erm … big issue in Rotherham
eh!
you don’t have “different needs” based on the colour of your skin, or bloody religion/ethnicity, there is only one true “need” and that in the UK is to be treated EXACTLY THE SAME, regardless of skin colour, hair/eye colour, choice of shoes, sexuality, political party, or interfering religions “special” needs!!!
Thank you Regag. I’m relieved it is the local authority who has said the children were “not indigenous white British”, no the couple and also that it is not the BBC’s words. Always good to check these things out..
A commenter in Guido’s claims to have known Thacker when she was head of Bradford Youth service: I don’t know if it is libellous just to give a link, but if you wait patiently, this should take you straight to the comment (379 in the Rotherham child catcher thread):
http://order-order.com/2012/11/24/progressive-culture-war-caused-rotheram-ukip-child-catcher/#comment-1499284
She’s been lax in tackling grooming in Rotherham and if the above commenter is correct things were even worse when she was in charge of Bradford Youth services.
http://rotherhampolitics.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/joyce-thackers-priority-find-the-whistle-blower/
Isn`t there a danger that we spend too much time on national and international agendas, when the truth screams at us in all manner of local media and outlets from those closest to the likes of Thacker,?
Small is beautiful…and the devil is very much in the details as put out by blags like this.
Thacker is on the radar-but local media deserve to be able to use this higher profile to get her likes out of any influence on their area…and their kids of course.
Thanks for posting this up!
Indeed, ChrisH- the enemies within (deliberate use of plural).
With the latest shenanigans by Pres. Mursi in Egypt making BBC headlines, it’s important to recall how the BBC’s award-winning expert on Middle Eastern affairs, Jeremy Bowen, described the Muslim Brotherhood – until he got caught out:
“conservative, moderate and non-violent”
There’s very little reason to trust Bowen’s or any BBC analysis on the region.
