FRIDAY OPEN THREAD…

Well, I could not bring myself to watch BBC Question Time from South Africa last night – first time in ages that I found myself in such a position. The BBC Mandelathon continues entering the second week now and it’s really all become far too much. I was on the BBC Moral Maze programme the other evening and it was all about the template Mandela set for ‘forgiveness”- never once did it enter BBC minds that Mandela should himself have been on his knees seeking forgiveness for the terrorism he once commanded! Anyhoo — the floor is yours….

    Was that Clive Myrie telling us all about the earth conditions locally where the Lion King will be buried tomorrow?
    Sounded like Gardeners Question Time to me, blended with a Mike Brierly analysis of the conditions for the spin bowlers when they start out to make the coffin rotate with their unctuosities tomorrow.
    Go the The Catholics-not a mention of him last Sunday for an hour( you won`t be guaranteed THAT when Mugabe pops it!)
    I welll remember the BBC telling me the tartan of the rug used to cover Alexander McQueens body when he was taken to the ambulance…and the comparison noted between the coffins of James Brown( Bonkbuster 3000, gold trims and velvetten cushions or such)…and that rival attempt to up the ante by Michael Jackson( remarkably similar…yet some furbelows maybe?)
    The BBC told me ALL this…and now it`s the soil tillage on the Eastern Crap as spade slices gaily into the Great Heart of the Veldt?
    F Off BBC…you take the piss and don`t know it!

    Shami Chakrabati speaking on Any questions about the gender segregation issue ‘Well let’s face it if this had been someone from the far right demanding the audience be segregated on racial grounds….’ (cue wild applause).

    Questions not asked: Any examples of who such a person might be, Shami? Is that a reasonable comparison? Have you any examples of this happening?

    So the leftist agenda of ‘far right’ and fundamentalist Islam both being as bad as each other prevailed yet again, and yet again with no foundation in fact.

    Then she ‘celebrates’ the fact the panel is made up entirely of ethnic minorities with a ‘woo-hoo!’, blissfully ignorant of the irony that she is championing yet another form of segregation.

      A few weeks ago Montague managed to roll Israel into her “failed state” narrative, and out of ignorance and reflex malice…and now Webb equates the terrors of Islam with a few long-frocked gentlemen who choose to do nothing but pray and relax on a Saturday.

      Not going to excuse their lack of fortitude in the cause of free speech, right or wrong, good or bad, but like all the others the deck is now very stacked against any UK-based entity hosting a forum.
      With false flag set-ups and pod-people ready to scream ‘hate site’ waiting in complement, even the mildest opinion contrary to the hive view will get the full treatment and the site owners snitched to the authorities.
      Of course it tends only to serve those who have organised the framework and are prepared to sell their ethical souls to rig things, but those in power who let them do bear a significant responsibility too.

                  The problem we face is that the media class, just like the political class, has become almost entirely a Leftist stronghold. Vanishingly few people in any branch of the media will dare admit to holding Right of centre views: to do so would be social and professional suicide.

    BBC World News
    Twitter backtracks on blocking changes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25361255

    Twitter has reversed changes it made to how people block other users, less than a day after they were introduced.

    The changes allowed blocked users to continue to see tweets and interact with accounts that had blocked them, leading to an outcry.

    ‪#‎Twitter‬ said it was reverting to old rules, under which users are not able to follow an account once blocked.

    Blocking is used by people to stop trolls and rude online commentators from interacting with them.
    Not too sure if that last part is quite correct, or rather goes far enough.
    As the experiences of such as DB & that tab up there to the right rather suggest, is also used rather extensively when BBC staff use twitter to blurt out personal BS under the BBC banner and get nailed, without trolling or rudeness being involved.
    That way the twitter bubble they operate in remains their little secret, like so much else untrustworthy and not at all transparent they charge others to let them do in secret.

      Of course it is true. Socialist want to use every possible resource to undermine our culture (the beorgeois hegemony) and are using Islam, homosexuality and peodophillia to do so. This is why Prof John Ashton (nhs socialist) was calling for a debate on the age of consent earlier this year. This is all contained in Gramsci’s work. These are “historic forces”. The socialists also see child abuse as a way to free people from taboo (again beorgeois taboos) so as to be able to create socialist personalities. Go look up an article title “how the left took things too far” on der spiegal online.

  13. David Preiser (USA) says:

    Nice appearance on Wednesday’s Moral Maze, David V. It was fascinating to hear Portillo as Humpty Dumpty, defining an existential “stability” to fit his argument. I actually agree with the existential concept of seizing an opportunity for safety for the majority – for the greater good, as it were – at the unfortunate expense of not providing justice for every last victim. Okay. But I don’t agree with Portillo’s definition of stability equating to giving power to the terrorists as the means to create it, especially without – despite his erroneous claim – serving any real time or admitting that terrorism was wrong. That’s a personal opinion, of course.

    I think the official “balance” of the panel was supposed to lie in their political/ideological affiliations, which would make it 2:2 Right vs. Left. In practice, it was 3:1 against the side of the debate in favor of wanting more justice for terrorists. But the BBC will claim the other way. They had all already decided on the answer to Buerk’s opening question about where to draw the line between justice and forgiveness, and the whole show was about telling those on the wrong side that they were wrong.

    The fact that any of these people could see some sort of parallel between South Africa and Northern Ireland is evidence of a skewed perspective not based in reality. This perspective is evident throughout the BBC. Although it would be amusing to put this argument to certain Beeboids reporting on the US. I bet they’d all suddenly forget about the wonders of forgiveness leading to stability.

    All Portillo and Taylor whoever could see in your side of the argument, DV, was an endless parade of score-settling. They refused to address your actual point and tried to make it into something else. Ordinary Catholic citizens in Belfast certainly weren’t getting randomly arrested and killed by the British government or enslaved or brutalized or prevented from owning land or holding public office. Well, at least not for a couple hundred years. The points made about black South African difficulties by the extremist social justice academic gave the lie to the whole idea that Northern Ireland could learn a lesson from South Africa. Taylor was quite correct, though, that this guy really did want everyone punished. What a giveaway that the first group that came to his (the social justice academic’s) mind for owing reparations for slavery were the banks. If only Taylor could get his friends at the BBC to understand this about all their social justice darlings. Portillo got it as well, and I suppose I should give them both credit for at least being consistent in their opposition to both your demands for justice on some level.

    Wanting to kill people forever until Northern Ireland was removed from the UK based on ancient grievances seems a lot more like score-settling to me than simply wanting the terrorist leaders not to be running the government. At least not, as you pointed out, after doing a reasonable amount of time for their crimes. Portillo refused to address that. I don’t think he actually grasped your argument at all, and saw only one extreme strawman. Same with Taylor, as he suggested that you want a large portion of the community rounded up, criminalize half the population, FFS. How many times can you make yourself clear before he stops asking where you’ll draw the line? Never enough, apparently. His sighing was audible.

    It was disheartening to then hear the Forgiveness Project lady talking about the apparently great progress her group has made sitting down with “the other”, the enemy, as she said, with the most important element of her success being overlooked by the panel. The most important part of her success is something nobody seems to have grasped: it involves the terrorists still believing that they were right to blow people up. It backs up your position, DV, but that simply doesn’t happen in Portillo’s and Taylor’s concept of stability, despite their protestations of people expressing regret. Her bomber may have expressed contrition and is no longer a danger, but the leaders who gave him his orders not only haven’t, but were given positions of power for the privilege. Portillo and Taylor denied that reality. I don’t see any real contradiction between DV’s position and her project.

    “BBC and Channel 4 news prefer their ‘narratives’ to the truth”

    By Christopher Booker.

    [Excerpt]:-

    “A quintessential example of this is the BBC, which now has a ‘narrative’ shaping its coverage in only one direction on almost every issue, from global warming and wind farms to the EU and the activities of what they call our ‘brave’ social workers. And the most telling giveaway of anyone who has passed into the grip of a ‘narrative’ is how they instantly fall back on denigration of anyone who questions it, dismissing them as ‘flat-earthers’, ‘idiots’, ‘cranks’, ‘Right-wingers’, ‘creationists’, ‘in the pay of Big Oil’, and so on.”

      So true. BBC coverage of major topics is dominated by The Narrative, although Booker omits probably the most glaring example – the coverage of US affairs.

      Particularly egregious is the BBC’s focus on US race issues – always from one direction and usually historical in nature (but I suppose it keeps the writers for the BBC’s online News Magazine busy). Contemporary black-on-white violent crime is something the BBC doesn’t want to touch because it defies the preferred narrative.

      In the end it will destroy the credibility of the BBC. The narrative will have to be cranked up to remain effective. Then it will start to become obvious to more and more people.
      I really do not see what can be done to stop this happening. The hive is so tight and so like minded that it cannot grasp the peril it is in.
      Maybe a few do but stay silent out of fear.

    More BBC-NUJ concealment on SEGREGATION.

    BBC-NUJ (alleged opponent of segregation/apartheid in South Africa), continues its devious ‘reporting’ of the segregation of men and women at university meetings in Britain. BBC-NUJ does not makes clear that this issue has arisen because of the demands (and practices) of certain Islamic interests for such segregation.

    Yet what does BBC-NUJ do in this follow-up ‘report’ but defer uncritically to that Muslim supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, Tariq Ramadan, who, of course, as a Muslim, expresses his interest in addressing segregated audiences.

    This Mr Ramadan:-
    “George Orwell betrayed: Islamist Tariq Ramadan gives a lecture in his name”

    http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/51025

    So, although BBC-NUJ still conceals the fact that this segregation of men and women at British universities has arisen because of the practice of certain Muslim organisations, the BBC-NUJ seeks out a Muslim supporter of such segregation anyway.

      Leaving aside the cost to the general taxpayer of flying out Cameron and entourage ,which is to be expected. The BBC’s coverage must run into millions and all footed by the telly tax payer ,who’s views the BBC are openly contemptuous of.

      Right, this is going to go down like a lead balloon, but here goes.

      It might also help if a very small minority on this blog decided what the despised most, the BBC or Islam and Immigration in general, and if it is the latter take that to the BNP site.

      As it stands the latter view expressed here gives the BBC an immediate out, able to brand the entirety of BiasedBBC a racist hate site.

      It is incontrovertible that the BBC and our politicians are happy to allow sections of Islam and general unfettered immigration to undermine Western society, and will wake up only when it is too late.

      To fight back against that treachery we need to be as subtle as our enemies, and that means leaving the racist bullshit to one side.

      Posting “I wonder why the BBC didn’t cover THIS??” is utterly fruitless, leaving aside the fact it is a rhetorical question. We know why.

      We need to focus on the actual bias of the BBC, a provable constant, rather than pepper that core issue with posts which are ultimately self-defeating.

      A day or so ago I posted that a Roma gypsy poisoning scare was a rather well known urban legend. That is to say it isn’t true. It appeared that many people didn’t care that it is not true and were happier to add a lie to the myriad of real major societal problems this government capitulation will actually bring. What exactly is the point of that? Why not just say they’ve got horns and a pointy tail? The truth is bad enough.

      What I’m saying is that to defeat the appalling left wing partiality of the BBC we need to take a leaf out of their book and that includes their most powerful tactic: the omission of the obvious.

        But the most insidious form of BBC bias is bias-by-omission, so surely an important role of posts to this site is to identify items deemed newsworthy by other media but not by the tax-funded state broadcaster?

          Because they’ll put it fifth story down on a regional page and say they did cover it, and technically they will be right. They’ll have shot your fox straight away.

          All that will remain to be argued about is the prominence of the piece, which is nearly always a matter of opinion.

          We know that the Pakistani paedo gangs was a story the BBC studiously ignored for years. I remember a Victoria Derbyshire Five Live interview a decade ago where Five Live did their usual thing of getting a barely educated victim’s mother on and made the poor woman appear a racist, and her daughter a whore, just for mentioning it.

          In the end the evidence became overwhelming and they had no choice but to cover it.

          The BBC is not going to collapse tomorrow morning under the weight of general moaning. It will sail through its upcoming charter renewal. If you really want to see it brought down I’m afraid we are looking ten years hence, but that decade needs to be spent pointing out in a cool, calm and collected manner where it is going wrong, and that is institutionally biased.

          We know it, but more people need to be convinced. You don’t do that by conflating the BBC with peripheral issues created not in Salford, but in Westminster.

              Perhaps that is one small reason to add to the others as to why the mainstream press ran a mile.

              The messenger is often shot, and in Griffin’s case many might think that isn’t necessarily a bad idea.

              Look, whatever we want of the BBC, if we just want the BBC brought to book and monitored independently to ensure impartiality, or pulled limb from limb and delivered to Murdoch, it will need to be done with a little more subtlety.

              That’s my point. If a very small group of people would prefer to use it as a springboard to general moaning about the state of the entire nation, then fine, but don’t expect it to advance the purpose of this blog a single inch.

        Surely Immigration and Islam are two areas where the BBC’s bias Is most obvious, most fanatical ,where their disconnect from the concerns of ‘poll tax payers’ is most clearly delineated .And also where their corruption of the democratic process is of most immediate danger
        You say “and if it is the latter take that to the BNP site.” So any that challenge the pseudo religion of multiculturalism are Fascists? You then go on
        ” As it stands the latter view expressed here gives the BBC an immediate out, able to brand the entirety of BiasedBBC a racist hate site. ”
        Only if one adopts your view that any who demure from the received truth are heretics. As I have illustrated in my post to Doyle Re; ‘Hope not Hate ‘ there can be no conciliation with the faithful it is ‘all or nothing’
        As illustration of this. Those that challenge the BBC’s bias over global warming, education, and law and order are also regularly characterised as right wing. Should they to take their views to the BNP site?
        As to your post on Roma urban myths ,I read it carefully, but am not sure it did what it said on the tin .Listing ,as it did, a slew of similar tales and then stating ‘but of course their all made up’ ( I paraphrase)
        I do agree we should stick to demonstrable cases of BBC bias (as much as temper will allow)
        But what clearer evidence of that can there be than the BBC’s hysterical coverage of Mandela’s death and the inevitable comparison it begs with their coverage of Margret Thatcher’s death?

          I don’t disagree with you, but as we are living in a world where politicians run a mile at any racial controversy, continually attaching the BBC to a penchant for supporting anybody who isn’t white and of the left is self-defeating, however true.

          Are we saying the shenanigans of Bowen, Plett, Harriban, Mardell, the whole of the non-sport output of Five Live et al does not give us plenty of ammunition already?

          As for your point about urban legends I think you misunderstand the concept. The burundanga/scopolamine story has been doing the rounds in slightly different permutations for years, and just because you would prefer to throw the kitchen sink at the Roma doesn’t change that. As if they don’t cause enough issues with their real behaviour, some seem intent on adding to it just for the hell of it, without understanding the BBC will use that against their critics. They shouldn’t be given the opportunity.

          If people want to go down that road fine. Let’s go the full Icke and just say they are shape-shifting lizards too.

            If facts were the answer the BBC would have been reformed long ago.
            The fact is they control the facts. The answer is political and yes ,due to the BBC, “politicians run a mile at any racial controversy” the only way to counter that is discredit the BBC on that very issue. Only then will self serving politicians have the courage to confront the BBC.
            My concern with the BBC is that they are the mouth piece for the self appointed patrician class that actually steer the nation state, whoever is in downing street. If they did not have counter-democratic power I would be happy to continue not watching their agit-prop. I have become convinced (and would hope convince others ,including you) that the only way to curb that power is to militate for radical political change, once that becomes a possibility then the politicians will fear the electorate more than they fear the BBC and the liberal elite that they represent.
            Perhaps you need to make a choice .Between giving legitimacy to populist politics and restoring true democracy or continuing with the oligarchical status-quo.
            Re; Roma. My point is that stories that have ” been doing the rounds in slightly different permutations for years ” have often been based in truth and simply saying that those that believe them are bigots does not disprove them. You yourself make reference to the most glaring example of that.

          “Was Mandela a terrorist – yes. Is what she is saying racist? No. You cannot call the comments above racist. Whether Mandela was a Terrorist is subjective – I personally opposed apartheid, and opposed the armed struggle of the ANC. I supported the peaceful opposite as exhibited by Biko and the Black Conscience Movement. Celebrate the work of Mandela since his release and the peaceful change from apartheid to the rainbow nation. However let’s not forget he, and the ANC, Were responsible for innocent deaths by terrorist means. Mandela said what is past is past and set up the truth and reconciliation system to allow all who had committed atrocities to come clean and join the rainbow nation. No other could have achieved this in my view and therefore his works since release are extraordinary. UKIP is dangerous as they are a racist organisation but Hope not Hate should be realistic and clearly oppose them where they are wrong. That’s not the case here.”

Violence is a reality, and necessary for change. Grow up already, you are human and live on planet Earth. Violence is NATURAL and if you cannot accept any form of violence, then you are destined to be oppressed and you will NEVER be free.”

      I heard this drivel on grammar schools being pushed all day on the news segments.
      The liberal upper class elite must really be worried .So keep that drawbridge pulled up and the public schools in being. The chief inspector is typical and his words must really chime with the BBC’s own attitudes.
      If we do not bring back selective education we will go down to third world status. We need the best of our children educated by the best to the highest level they can achieve.
      It is a question of national survival now. This man is typical of the ruling elites that just will not face reality. It is a form of treachery.
      My son is a carpenter and lives in a grammar school catchment area. He is working extra hours to pay for a tutor to help my grandson pass the 11 plus. He feels he would be failing if he did not try to do the very best for his son.
      The difference between the grammar school and the local comp is so great that we rightly feel my grandson will have every chance in life if he can get there. This is the reality in many places now. We know education is going downhill and that comprehensive schools have failed. The real world once again not the dreamy liberal fantasy world beloved by the BBC and the rest.

      Again, this backs up my position on the matter, no matter how many people keep saying it’s a game-changer. Contrary to the Daily Mail writer’s assertion, Pollard has not claimed that this undermines his report. Unless Pollard has a come-to-Jesus moment and it turns out he’s been lying the whole time, it still appears that he thinks both Thompson and Boaden were lying. I think they were lying about different things, but it doesn’t change Pollard’s reasons for his ultimate conclusion as he initially explained them.

      Was his ultimate conclusion wrong and was his report more or less a whitewash? Oh, hell yes. But for other reasons. I don’t know if a new investigation is required. Maybe if everyone was given an unredacted version we could judge properly. I’m not sure if Pollard was given – or felt he was given – the real authority of judge and jury to declare they were lying and call for their heads or whatever. Maybe that has something to do with it. If so, that really would undermine the whole thing.

      Yup, rushed through the Solheim Cup women and U.S. Amateur Champion Matt Fitzpatrick as if time was short, but lots of “Here are the phone numbers even though you can’t vote yet” and then more bloody Madiba, the itch they can’t stop scratching.

      What are they going to talk about now that the Saffer festivities have ended ? The ongoing situation in the CAR perhaps ?

    What would David Vance possibly have to say about Morals? He doesn’t have any?

    How much were you paid?

    This just about sums up what the BBC apparatchiks are trying so hard to achieve.

    Olajide Onikoyi, from Blackley The Nigerian national

    Two other Nigerian nationals from London have also been jailed for related offences.

    So what are they doing being allowed to set up home in the UK ? Especially as most of Blackley is a council estate ?

    It just shows the level to which this country has sunk, not because of the people, but because of those in charge.

    I was half watching some program on I think it was BBc 3 not really taking it in as I think it was on every night for a week when they had the BBc dr. Who crapathon. When it finished I started thinking which is a rare event. Why do all these unrelated nobodies turn up on these kind of shows to give their opinion about (fill in yourself) like anyone cares what (…) thinks about DR. Who. Then I began to think how much do they get paid for appearing on these shows for a couple of minutes and informing us of their f**king boring thoughts. Now I have a sneaking suspicion half the time they have never watched the program they are lecturing us on. Ok they had Konnie Huq on there. Most famous for her brilliant Blockbuster appearance? Has she ever been on Dr. Who not as far as I recall. So there she is banging on about the Tom Baker period (1974-1981) well it was in the Tom Baker years segment, and she was born in 1975 according to wickepedia. Do the maths and how likely vivid memories would be.

      Huq ticks a couple of boxes, none moreso than her husband being columnist Charlie Brooker, Guardian columnist and media luvvie.

      The Guardian as we know has an incestuous relationship with the BBC, Coren and Mitchell are two more Guardian types ass licked by the BBC.

    They have no option but to report this

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25367046

    But naturally the BBC give themselves the last word

    “Despite some inflammatory language in the PAC report, there is absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing by anyone at the BBC in relation to these severance payments.”

    No mention of Mr Farah not winning the Sports personality contest, or even the fact that he only came fourth. Obviously the phone in previously talked about did not hit the target audience. But then not much does with the BBC these days. Bye the way, did I tell you I now have 18 letters telling me that as I do not show on their records of having a T.V. licence, my house address is under scrutiny. Yes, 18 and growing weekly. 😎 I can’t wait for who ever it is that pays my house a visit. He/she will certainly go away with a lot more than when they came!
