Massaging The Message

 

 

Mark Easton, the BBC’s immigration cheerleader, has leapt upon some research about ‘Diversity’ and manages to put a classic BBC spin on it.

 

Unfortunately the ‘research’ tells us nothing that you couldn’t dream up yourself….i.e. that where communities are segregated, separated into different races and religions, things will fall apart as a ‘society’.

Conversely where there is no segregation and everyone mingles without adopting the identity politics so beloved of the likes of those employed in the BBC, people just get on with things and generally get on together.

Easton proclaims this as a break through revelation….and then adds his own spin…

What the new research calculates is that ethnic diversity helps improve community life…what this paper suggests is that where you have non-segregated and relatively prosperous communities, diversity is likely to improve community life, not damage it.

 

Diversity improves community life?  And yet where’s his evidence? In what way exactly does community life become improved?

Maybe he is comparing ‘community life’ in a non-segregated and a segregated society….then there is an improvement…by comparison….but is he actually claiming diversity itself is beneficial and improves a society?  That’s highly subjective.  What is he saying is wrong with the original community?

Is he saying that an all white community is somehow bad, deficient, morally wrong, dysfunctional?  Or an all black society…or a Japanese society?

 

A rather simplistic and naive, not to say insulting, assertion to say that a few black faces improves a society just because they’re black.

 

Even a completely white community is ‘diverse’….having a vast array of different ‘white’ people…not to mention body types, religions, political views, languages, accents, social groupings, fashions, music, football teams etc etc…and of course they may themselves not be ‘British’.

Ridiculous to lump all Whites together as one distinct and well defined group that needs to be leavened by a bit of colour to make them less racist…which they obviously are, being hideously white….and which is the real subtext to Easton’s comments about ‘improving’ a community.

 

Easton, with a complete lack of contrition, has finally come round to the realisation that Multi-culturalism is a disaster….because surely that is what this research is showing….the separation of communities into separate, well defined groups, is highly damaging to a society.

Shame the BBC has been pushing that narrative, of multi-culturalism, of identity politics, for years now.

Shame that the BBC has felt it is its job to push that narrative.

 

Once again the BBC’s interference in politics and society, trying to socially engineer that society in the BBC’s own image, has caused immense damage.

Shame that the BBC seems to be entirely unaccountable and shamelessly unprepared to take the blame for any of its dangerous actions.

 

Shame no one will take the BBC on and put a stop to their self imposed mission to ‘improve’ society.

 

Shame the BBC itself seems entirely confused about what its role is:

Mark Thompson proclaiming that:

The BBC is not a campaigning organisation and can’t be, and actually the truth is that sometimes our dispassionate flavour of broadcasting frustrates people who have got very, very strong views, because they want more red meat. Often that plays as bias.

However he also said this:

The BBC is no longer just a broadcaster, the corporation was to be a social force in the land, he said. The corporation was an “important builder of social capital, seeking to increase social cohesion and tolerance”, which in future would try to “foster audience understanding of differences of ethnicity, faith, gender, sexuality, age and ability or disability”…

    Surely it is a natural thing for ethnically similar communities to want to stick together. Communities build common cultures , share their heritage and nationhood.These things should not be thrown away lightly. In a civilised society a ‘few’ immigrants should be welcomed , a little diversity is a good thing, provided that it can be easily absorbed by the existing culture. But ‘few’ is important, too many and things don’t go well on either side.
    In the modern age travel and hence migration are physically easier than ever before. We have millions of people on the move looking for a better life. Forced to leave their communities by circumstance. The BBC and the liberal left believe that the UK should encourage many of these people to come here, far exceeding the proportion that could be called ‘few’ . However, a very large section, perhaps a majority, of the British people don’t agree with mass immigration. But those of us who do disagree are, at best, ignored by the BBC, and at worst, demonised as racists.
    The whole question of immigration to the UK over the past 40 years is one in which a small liberal left elite ,aided and abetted by the BBC, has consistently refused to have an open debate on the subject. Indeed the above piece is just another standard offering by the BBC to calm our fears, to smooth away our worries, so that they can get on with their mass immigration plan. They have consistently flouted the basic principles of democracy, that the people should be informed and then have their say. Instead they have taken it upon themselves to decide what is best for us.
    The BBC is an enemy of democracy and is actively participating in the destruction of the Britain that we knew.

  2. Mark Easton is right “ethnic diversity” has certainly come up trumps in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Indonesia, Burma, Kashmir, India, Egypt, Pakistan, Rwanda…(add any others I have missed). So many wanting to embrace each other, happy to live in that cosy BBC phrase “lively and diverse” communities. Oh I’m sure its a joy for them.

    Mark, with his enthusiasm, really must go to each and every one of these places and explain to those who have suffered horrors beyond belief that they are silly and they really don’t understand the benefits of living in “lively and diverse” communities.

    Mark Thompson (how are they all ‘Marks’?) says the BBC should be “seeking to increase social cohesion.” I want the BBC to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. Its not their job to effectively white-wash facts to make it okay so the BBC and their Metropolitan chums can maintain their idea of “cohesion” in this country as there is NO real cohesion. People need to know why there are Muslim Paedophile gangs, why there is female gentile mutilation, why there are no-go areas in East London, why some Pennine towns don’t speak a word of English, why the rise of the EDL, why have the BNP have done so well, why there are Muslim terrorists amongst us. Because Mr Thompson has essentially said that “If the facts don’t fit…”

      It is a mistake to misunderstand what caused the problems in that list of trouble spots, a perception that a minority group was benefiting at the cost of the majority. Often a false perception such beliefs fester and all you need is a trigger for things to get ugly. Integration stops it not for everyone to accept diversity.

    Mark Easton wrote another article a few months back saying that open-door immigration is a success and is evidence of ‘hope’ for the country. His agenda is pretty obvious. Fortunately the article’s open for comments (which the BBC has been cutting back on lately since they hate the fact free-thinking minds use their site) and are summarily rejecting the unbelievably one-sided, badly sourced, statistically irrelevant drivel that Easton has produced.

    When I was at 6th form at school one of the subjects I did was ‘A’ Level General Studies (You had to do GS if you were doing A levels) and one of the questions I received on the Exam paper was how would go about the integrating immigrants into the country. If I could answer that question as a 17 year old, I wonder why the so called political elites haven’t managed to do likewise. Silly me its racist to even look think about immigration at the bBC unless it is in the positive. which leads to thinking when are the luvies going to demand we deploy troops to the Sahara, in which to offer people who may die there, direct access to the Uk. I mean they may die crossing that vast expanse and we should do something to erase the stain of….’Slavery’.

    Easton and his fellow affluent media types in London usually choose to live in communities segregated by wealth, and often send their children to private schools to prevent them being exposed to the benefits of 20 different languages in the classroom.

    The only way a multi-cultural society can work is if one of those cultures is dominant. All other cultures effectively become a flavour of the main culture. Where the sub culture clashes with the the main culture the main culture wins every time.

    That’s how England used to work and how we managed to build the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

      I put the relevant words in capitals. These are words from Mark Easton in the article. Even he accepts the LARGE MAJORITY of published studies indicate the opposite, however he has waited for the ONE study which claims the opposite based on no real proof, the key quote is “paper suggests” as opposed to “the paper proves”.
      When you can disprove his argument with his own article, you know there is something seriously rotten in the state of Denmark.

    As with AGW the BBCs response to criticism of their bias is redouble their efforts.
    Is this because they believe they are ‘nearly there’ and one last push will makes their objectives irreversibly inevitable?
    Or are they simply exasperated that some still do not accept the received truth and feel that a more strident sermon is required to steady the flock?

    The first two words of the second paragraph of his article says it all about the BBC… it doesn’t really matter which subject they venture upon, or which programme is used as the mouthpiece to spout the analysis the starting point is invariably a piece of academic research.

    There is very rarely any input from practitioners in the field or people on the ground to support the case and the whole discussion becomes academic, and usually very circular.

    Newsnight are especially bad at this, in that they start off with a bit of academic research and then invite a couple of academics or people with an academic background to argue over the merits of the piece.

    What makes it worse is that the starting piece usually finds in favour of a perspective which the BBC agrees with from the start and then the invitees come on to debate, discuss, generate a load of hot air and then re-inforce.

    Painful really.

    An interesting study in liberal thought. The desire preceeds the thought. The thought becomes the “reality”
    When the real world starts to make itself felt the liberal response is first denial then refusal to engage with reality since it does not fit the world view and so cannot be true. Pointing this out to a liberal is pointless. The entire premise of the liberal approach to society is based on a gnostic like belief in directly perceived wisdom.
    Rage and abuse is all the reponse you will get if you go too far.
    The best thing to do is tell them to go and read the “Odyssey”.
    And if you are a liberal and reading this try to work that one out.
    Which is why in the coming culture war for the West it is completely pointless discussing anything with the liberal.

      Most people aren’t. And most British people want to LIMIT the number of immigrants coming into Britain. But Easton doesn’t. For an alleged statistician, Easton is curiously reluctant to talk about numbers and immigration. He is a ‘social engineer’ for mass immigration. His mind seems to operate like this:-
      ‘yes, we could have more immigrants in that part of London, and get more London-born indigenous people to move to that other part of London, to make it nicely diverse, and make everybody happy with things by giving them more money too.’

          Scott:
          To me there are two kinds of immigrants’. Those who like the host country, its people, its laws etc. and wish to settle down and ‘integrate’. If these same people bring skills to this country and help it in a positive way, then I am all for them coming, providing that is, we can accommodate them.

          And then you have the ‘other’ kind of immigrants’. These are by-enlarge the opposite. They do not care for, or even like the people of the host country. They only believe in their way of life, laws and culture and wish to force it upon others. They, rather inadvertently, turn areas of their host nation into mini-s#!tholes of the places they have fled. This is being aided and abetted by those in power to satisfy their own guilt complex about being born in a nation such as ours. They in turn are being assisted by people like ‘you’ who, despite all that one can see, are turning a blind eye to what is going on.

          It is not immigration that people are turning against. It is MASS-immigration. That is not bigoted, it is reasonable response given the levels we have seen over such a short period of time.

          And as for those who come here, well I guess that makes you one of us then doesn’t it ? Either that or, you are a hypocrite and a bigot – you do know what bigot means don’t you, or is that still shorthand for racist.

          I do not talk to Liberals’. They are like you ! Closed eyes and even more tightly closed minds. As mentioned by Dave above; “When the real world starts to make itself felt the liberal response is first denial then refusal to engage with reality since it does not fit the world view and so cannot be true.” This is where you are. And until this crap happens to you, you will not shake out of it.

            Your post reflects the majority of opinion on here, Mark – there is nothing bigoted in expressing concerns about mass immigration and the segregationist mentality encouraged by multiculturalism.

            Scott, on the other hand, believes these alien cultures are undisputably beyond criticism – especially Islam – despite the stark evidence that many of their everyday religious practices are taking our society backwards at an alarming rate.

    Given the multicultural message we have been battered with for over 15 years that all cultures are equal, it is going to be interesting to see how any one of these ‘cultures’ – though I’m thinking of one in particular – fares in our free and democratic society once it becomes dominant e.g. in population terms. We’ve had a few inklings from the likes of Tower Hamlets and Newham (neither quite at a single cultural majority) – but I reckon there are be many more ‘surprises’ to come, none of them good. How long, for example, before gender segregation in council meetings becomes the norm in certain boroughs and cities.

      Not necessary. Muslims ruled Spain for hundreds of years, but they were never a majority.
      They were a determined, cohesive group, willing to use extreme violence to achieve their aims. Thank God they’re no longer like that eh?

    Nobody typifies the BBCs bias more than Easton, esp when immigration is concerned.

    He was the bloke who 9 months ago called 600,000 white British fleeing London ‘a story of success’.

    • Hilariously if you read the comments that follow the above link all the “highest rated” disagree with Mark Easton and say how horrible mass immigration is, how it affected them detrimentally and wish it hadn’t happened at all.

      Doesn’t it prove that Mark and the gang just don’t bloody care?

        Yep, the first 20 highest totally disagree with both Eaton and Scott and that doesn’t included the ones removed by the commissars.

        “…what emerges is a much more positive story…”

        I’m sure that spin makes you feel better about the truth, Mr Easton.

        Unfortunately, for the tens of thousands of people who have seen their communities changed beyond recognition, who have been pushed to move to the four corners of the nation to find a new home that resembles their country of origin, your spin is more than a tad nauseating.

          Why have the white British left London?

          They have left because they’ve been pushed out by migrants.

          A few weeks ago we heard of some Islamic “men” castigating a man for not being Muslim, asking if he was gay, and telling him to “get out, this is a Muslim area”.

          Their exact words were played on the radio so there was no doubt over it.

          Time for the govt. to do something about such migrants

          Seems the BBC may have to invent a whole new category of modding beyond closing early and toasting those house rules can zap, or things really are going to screw the pooch when their own interactive pieces drop the narrative and deranged DOTIs in it with cited URLS and actual facts.
          I was going to joke that ‘disappearing’ such things may next be an option, but they have done this for real, too.
          So just done a page grab of the story and highest rated.
          You never know.

          The BBC does seem ‘careless’ a lot, and when it needs to be more often than not.

          • It all makes sense now. The Beeb’s move to Salford was part of the of the 600,000 “white flight”. See even they don’t want to live the multi- cultural dream.

    Back to Mark Easton’s recent missive
    As a result of my last conversation with CTC, I tracked down a copy of Jared Taylor’s sequel to ‘Race against time’, ‘white Identity’. Great read (thanks CTC) I recommend it, if you can find a copy
    The first third of the book challenges the orthodoxy that ‘diversity is a strength’ He sites numerous scientific studies by established universities (in addition to Robert Putnam’s) ,all fully referenced, that either fail to support or contradict that premise
    Why ,if the BBC has no agenda, is not biased, have they never ‘headlined’ one of these many studies?
    I would be interested to have some context put on this particular question

    The BBC have been shoving their views down our throats ever since Eastenders hit our screens in the mid-eighties (perhaps long before that too).
    Has anyone noticed how they are including mini-documentaries in their main news programmes? The news is the news and shouldn’t be a place to concentrate on just one side of the issue. I know the poor people of Syria are suffering – I don’t need that fact drilling into my skull every time I want to catch up with the news. I can empathise with them without your help, thanks!

    So, now the “studiously impartial Mark Easton” tells us that ‘Diversity emerges as a positive predictor of social cohesion, the paper asserts, a finding that runs counter to the large majority of published studies‘.
    I guess he was too busy to tell us about any of these previous studies.

      Sir Art – yes strange isn’t it. Global warming and the ‘consensus’ is agreed on and reported at length by the BBC. But on immigration… the consensus, or ‘large majority of published studies‘ are ignored, and as soon as a PC pro-multi-culti study is found, it’s reported at length.

    Easton has just been publicly attacked as the typical face of BBC bias.

    What happens ?

    1 Someone unnamed at the BBC – obviously without any proper internal editorial review of this serious and specific complaint – says that Easton is the perfect “journalist”.

    2 Lefties claim he is the epitome of balance.

    3 Within days Easton comes out with an article that simply shows yet again his bias, his failure to properly present all types of research, his deliberate skewing of debate on issues which most British people have put at or near the top of the political agenda.

    THAT is why the BBC needs to be closed down – or put on a subscription basis. The overt and endless bias is coupled with outright scorn and arrogance towards the masses who pay their wages. And total disregard of the Royal Charter.

    John – it’s everything you say, but worse. The BBC has admitted their coverage of immigration is flawed… ‘slow to the debate’ is their euphemism for naked bias. But they have done NOTHING about it, in fact it gets worse. Its a giant two-fingers to the British public, and due to ‘the unique way its funded’ they kknow they can get away with it.

    “Using very detailed population data, what emerges is that London, despite its ethnic diversity, is among the least segregated parts of England. The one red slash across the yellow wash of the map looks to be where some of the poorest neighbourhoods in the East end rub up against the wealth of docklands and the city”
    Erm, is he talking about newham? so he’s insinuating that newham is segregated due to wealth differentials? is he having a laugh?

    It takes Al Jazeera to tell you some of the truth the Beeb never will. In a programme tonight (Friday)* dealing with Somalis living in Denmark, Holland and France from what was stated they are all intent on moving to England. The reason given upfront by a Somali in London was quite simply our policy of ‘multiculturalism’ – in other words we encourage the creation of many little Mogadishus in the UK.
    As these individuals all have an EU nationality we have to expect perhaps a million more immigrants of this ethnic origin. This is simply a fact. Mark Easton who earns £200,000 a year will be ‘studiously neutral’ on the issue. He can afford to be.

    “Citizen or Stranger? (2013) Ep 1. One Somali family strewn across six countries. Through their different experiences, this two-part series explores the issues of migration and multiculturalism.”

    ‘Diversity improves community life? And yet where’s his evidence?’

    Did you read the research?

    ‘Is he saying that an all white community is somehow bad, deficient, morally wrong, dysfunctional?’

    No, I don’t see that anywhere in the article. Reading and comprehension isn’t your strong point. It always surprises me that you can actually read and write. Maybe someone transcribes it for you?
