START THE WEEK OPEN THREAD…

Here we go, a new Open Thread for you to detail the bias. The BBC has become a prime cheerleader for Open Borders and the UK accepting as many “Syrian Refugees” as you can shake a stick at. Each morning we are presented with ever so cuddly tales of grateful smiling Mums and cute kids. Just don’t mention the vast number of fighting age men….anyway, the floor belongs to you.

    Warning ! Weasels at 6 o’clock. The shock horror headline that drives “migrants’ off the top of the Al Beeb’s agenda ? Obviously the startling news that the RAF had used a drone to kill two ‘British’ terrorists in Syria. I say ‘startling’ because in ‘BBC World” we are not entitled to defend ourselves against external threats. And with regard to internal threat’s ? Well obviously there is no danger that any of the 18 year-old muslim “children ” coming from Syria & Iraq have had any prior connections with terrorist organisations, or indeed pose any threat to the citizens of this fair land.
    And the final icing on the 6 o’clock cake ? None other than that model of fair and balanced reporting, our wonderful new political editor Laura Keunssberg, suddenly changing tack and posing the question of how we will cope with an extra 20,000 folk when we already have annual net migration over 300,000. Pity she didn’t come up with that thought a few days ago….

    Funny how the Bitter-Anti BBC brigade use HYS ? The Tory’s always have hated the licence fee & just want to destroy the BEST broadcaster in the world, Americanise us with cheap dros, and bring our culture down to their profit hungry model. OK do away with the licence & fund the BBC by a levy on Sky, Amazon, Netflix etc, who probably avoid UK tax. Spiteful Osborne has got his fingers all over this.

    Teenager seriously injured after anti-Semitic attack

    Yet under the Fascist commissioner Tony Lloyd the religious and racial reasons for this attack have been kept secret. He has turned Greater Manchester Police into a Political Correctness Enforcement Squad, more interested in arresting old ladies for offending Muslims than arresting real criminals.

    Having only digested the 10 minute migrant propaganda masquerading as news on Radio 4 this morning, I decided it would be best for my health if I avoided any further BBC output for the rest of the day. However, when I switched the telly on I found it was still on BBC1 and the One show was just showing an article showing how to register to a website where you can sign up to take a migrant or ten into your home.

    Suffice it to say the channel was changed in the time it takes to say b******s. How long till anybody with spare rooms is FORCED to take this human rubbish into their homes I wonder?

    Turning away from migration for a moment, here is another BBC favourite at work.

    You may wonder why the airhead Paloma Faith has been signed up as a judge on ‘The Voice’ (Actually you might not care – it’s an appalling programme – a poor man’s X-factor).

    This though gives you a clue. The moron was in Gibraltar last night and chose to greet the Gibraltarians with the salutation, ‘Hola España’. It didn’t go down well!

    The cretin excuses herself as having made a mistake…but listen to what the Telegraph reports: ‘she explained that she “doesn’t belong to any country” and adding, ‘the world needed greater understanding to break down borders and end conflicts’. Sweet.

    As this story shows, the BBC hegemonic agenda is primary in their goal. They see nothing wrong in reducing service to licence fee payers to fund it, and even pretend it will benefit us. Like encouraging more migrants and refugees to come here, regardless of the increased strain already put on our society. So long as we go along with the way Hall puts it, than we are not being some kind of ‘phobe’.

    Lord Hall also said that the BBC World expansion to ‘promote British values’ worldwide…
    That’s rich, as the BBC doesn’t even promote those values here.

    The BBC doing all it can to debunk the photo of the Jihadi / ISIS fighter, next to his photo wearing a T Shirt saying ‘thank you’. According to the BBC he isn’t a danger Jihadi because ‘He says that he was a Free Syrian Army commander, and that before the civil war he worked as a plasterer in his home city of Aleppo.’

    Well that’s alright then, if says he is, well he must be right? Incidentally I am the Queen of Sheba and everyone in the BBC must bow in my presence. Anyone at the BBC got an issue with that or is it only Jihadis who get the benefit of the doubt?

    I have been on holiday in Italyland for a week and haven’t kept up with the ‘news’ in Blighty ( blighted land ) on purpose that is deemed for us to either know about or care about. I did notice just on the odd occasion we ‘saw’ ( I speak no Italia) on Italian tv a bit of news in a bar etc that it was about assyl…..immigrants.
    Tonight ( returned last night ) I watched ‘South Today’ always a good programme to keep me up to speed on what I should be thinking. Tonight it revolved in part about how we should be actually personally taking these Syrian spong…people in, and feeding them etc.
    They found a very nice man who was actually ‘keeping’ one himself ( a sort of novel pet one thinks ) , the lovely female interviewer said that the Syrian didn’t want to be interviewed, in fact he didn’t want to be seen either in silhouette ( always a fav with ‘rape’ victims ). In fact we didn’t even see his lucky bedroom or his possessions which surely should have consisted of at least one teddy whatever his age. In fact we saw or heard of absolutely no evidence that this ‘asylum’ ( or bedroom ) seeker existed whatsoever.
    But the evidence came at the end, it was the evidence of a crisp tenner that the house owner could leave obtrusively sticking out of a pot without doing a disappearing act.
    So there we have it from the Beeb… take in an asylum seeker and you won’t know they are there, and they don’t like mint tenners! Perhaps it’s because I’ve been on holiday and still relaxed that I find this ST story hilarious, but more likely it is that the BBC really now lives in the realms of pure unadulterated fantasy.

        “There is no precedent (not even the Palestinian exodus of 1948) that matches the scale of the demographic threat Syrian refugees pose to Gulf identity and social composition. And the Gulf states simply have no response to questions the Syrian refugee crisis poses.”

        What the BBC is saying here is that the Syrian migrants pose a threat to the way of life of the countries they go to. They also pose a very real threat to their culture as well, but rather than criticise them the BBC chooses to support them.

        The old definition used for racism was treatment different to that given to another on the grounds of race, by this definition the BBC must indeed be deeply deeply racist against their own people

          What a devious piece of work that is. The BBC never, ever mentions the full scale war waged by the Arabs against Israel in 1948 let alone the fact they rejected the formation of a new state of Palestine. Many Arabs chose to stay in Israel where they now enjoy full citizenship status unlike the refugees who opted to go to Jordan and other Arab states – they have no citizenship rights and are still classed as ‘refugees’. Not only that, successive generations are allowed to inherit this refugee status.

          Refugees throughout the world are allowed to integrate and apply for citizenship but not, uniquely, the ‘Palestinians’ – thanks to the UN. And we all know why.

      Polly, while I agree with the high-rated comments, I’m afraid alibeeba has not been rumbled by the public.
      I cant explain why such common sense comments are high rated….and why? Because the vast majority of people I know still believe the ‘benign aunty’ image albeeb likes to push as its image.
      They vast majority are horrified if I suggest they are constantly consuming bullshit and propaganda from the beeb.
      Perhaps it is because those who take the trouble to go to a HYS item have enough nous and motivation to see the truth, but in this world in South West Wales, most still fall for the propaganda being fed to them.
      In fact, I’m sure some people think I need to be carted off by the men in white coats when I rant on about albeeb.

    I’ve just watched the Panorama programme on Jeremy Corbyn, it’s primary aim seemed to me, surprisingly, was let’s stick the knife into Jeremy.
    Is the reality of a non electable leader beginning to sink home prior to the Labour leadership vote being called on Saturday?

    Also, if this is the BBC position, I am puzzled as to why they broadcast this Panorama programme so close to the final count on Saturday, (why not two weeks ago), when most votes I would presume have already been sent in?

    A final point I would like to ask is as follows-
    If Jeremy isn’t the preferred choice in the BBC who is and why?

      Ah the glorious 12th…

      Most votes have been cast. But many have not. The BeeB I suspect know he is unelectable and will cast Labour out of power for a decade at least (can’t be bad).

      Maybe this is one last boot to get Labour members/affiliates (me included) to vote for a more acceptable candidate (Cooper/Burnham) to present Labour to the national voter.

      The Beeb feel the same about Labour as I do about the Tories. I want them to exist even though they are useless at present because one day they just might be credible.

      Personally until such time comes I will continue to support UKIP and vote for Corbyn (to help sink Labour).

        Anti BBC seem to be nervous about Corbyn, it could be more than just being perceived as unelectable.
        Could it be that the fat cats in the Beeb are expecting to be taxed more, or could it be that Corbyn wants out of the failed EU meaning the Beeb will lose their free monies by way of grants from the EU, could it be that Corbyn wants rid of the lies,corruption and peadophilia historically enshrined within the Beeb, could it be that Corbyn ants to get rid of the license fee or streamline the activities of the BBC???

        Am not so sure that Corbyn will make Labour unelectable.

        A lot will depend on how he handles all the rubbish thrown at him, what policies he adopts & whether he is honest about past Labour failings (a rather long list) and what he promises to do to put them right. Two of the other three contenders are reluctant to own up to just some, let alone all of Labour’s past failures. As to putting any of them right (where that can be done) there’s absolutely nothing said. The fourth candidate is a bit like that, too, but can rightly claim that she (Kendall) is a ‘clean skin’.

        I hold no brief for any of the candidates and merely find spectating all this highly entertaining. Corbyn does, however, seem to offer something different. It remains to be seen whether it is ‘better’. There is also a hint of integrity there. It is that – the hint of integrity – often lacking elsewhere in the Westminster Village, that may be attractive enough to swing voters to get them to vote Labour in 2010.

          I’d agree. He has the potential to suck in the “anti-politician” vote without the fear of being labelled racist because his dodgy connections are the right sort of dodgy connections that the BBC et al don’t really mind. People looking to kick the current political elite may feel he’s a good vehicle with which to do it. Look at the SNP in Scotland – a large amount of their support is, I believe, nothing to do with independence per se but a wish to get back at what people see as the cosy consensus, without really thinking things through.

      At it’s stinking, fetid heart the BBC is a pro-EU, pro-Common Purpose, pro-Global Warming, globalist beast – it’s essentially a New Labour organ, even if it wasn’t created as such. While the unadulterated Leftists at the BBC have a soft spot for Corbyn, he’s way too “Old Labour” for them to get fully on board with – not very keen on the EU, brother is a leading climate “denier”, bit too wacky with the Marx and the friendships with the IRA and Hamas to be considered polite at Islington dinner parties. So they’d rather go with Burnham although I suspect Cooper is their favourite. But as always with the BBC they have completely misread the public mood and haven’t quite grasped that despite their 24 hour propaganda, most people would rather be shot in the face than have to listen to Cooper, let alone vote for her.

          Surely in a situation like this, anything less than overwhelming support for a change in policy should result in the status quo? Why ignore the well founded concerns of the people saying ‘no’. If you do nothing, then our society will continue as before. If you say ‘yes’ you change the country forever, against the wishes of 50% of the population. Surely, that is a no brainer?

        “…The BBC is in utter denial, and seems convinced that telling ‘it’ often enough must work again as it always has done.”

        This is what happens when you adopt Orwell’s ‘1984’ as your instruction manual. The BBC operates within its own bubble; what it sees reflected back at it when it looks out is merely what it wants to see (albeit hideously distorted to fit the narrative), and it disregards the rest.

        Newsnight tonight was a perfect example of this, with the fragrant Ms Allegra Stratton (where do they find these Head Girl types..?) struggling to get beyond her own vague disbelief that a clear majority of the UK voting public (at least according to a 1000-person ‘representative’ sample polled by ComRes for the BBC) are actually not in favour of more immigration into the UK.

        Who knows, if the BBC had had the intellectual courage to ask a less evasive question (I dunno, how about ‘Do you think the UK should take as many illegal immigrants as those fools in Germany?’) poor old Allegra might have been rendered speechless with fright by the answer she would most definitely have received.

        Thankfully, in BBC Land 2+2 really does = 5. Reality be damned!

          I look forward to the day when ‘1984’, that great set piece of the school curriculum, is taught with the rider:

          ‘..of course, Orwell was, thankfully, wrong in his fears – if we look back to the years leading up to 2015, when the BBC tried its best to implement the provisions of his nightmare vision, was rumbled, deserted, and eventually dismembered by a disgusted and furious public, we can take some comfort that most people can eventually see through the lies and oppressions. That’s not to say we don’t still need to be vigilant, in case another BBC rises up to haunt us..’

        Here is an example Taffman of just how out of touch our MP’s are
        Today in the Independent it stated the following-

        ‘Sixteen life-extending cancer drugs will no longer be available to patients in England from March after the NHS announced it would not pay for them through the Government’s flagship Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF).

        The drugs have been removed from a list of treatments paid for by the CDF in a bid to cut costs. The £280m fund was due to overspend by £100m in 2014-15.

        Some drugs will be removed altogether and others will be restricted to use against specific forms of cancer.

        In total 25 different forms of cancer treatment will no longer be available. The restrictions, which commence from March 2015, will save up to £80m, NHS England estimate.’

        Now get your MP to justify the spending 14 billion pounds on foreign aid when our own are being ignored.
        I never saw this on the Beeb today.

        Our MP’s think it’s ok to save an illegal and let our people who have in the past paid for the NHS through taxes just wither and die

          Its even more terrible when you realise that drug companies would go bust if they produced a drug that cured cancer and therefore undermined those life-extending cancer drugs that produce the profits for these companies. I am told its what the motive is in the barrier to the universal cure for Cancer that would destroy the Cancer charity junket. And the rumours of murders within the business. So I wonder if this aspect plays any part in this decision.

            There is an absolute dearth of debate about the quest for eternal life. There is in my opinion a wrong headed desire to ‘cure’ cancer, heart disease, stroke, etc etc. Yes there are tragic cases of people dying young but once a cure is found, how are you going to stop it being given to the 90 year old?
            As human beings, we are designed to die, we have extended our lives to such an extent that now care homes are full of dribbling imbeciles who don’t even know they’re human waiting to die, costing us a fortune, and providing a reason for the lefties to call for immigration.

    I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that the picture(s) of the death by drowning of the child on a Turkish beach has all been a falsehood. I’ve trawled the internet and many are now questioning the photo(s) legitimacy and quite rightly so. It all looked so staged to me and it now turns out that the child’s father’s testimony is a pure bag of lies, as he was never on the supposed boat that capsized but living (for 3 years) in a Turkish house and receiving Turkish benefit money. It has got to the stage, that I simply do not believe a single word or picture or video that the Far Left BBC shows me. The two so called paramilitary police officers shown in the “child drowning photo’s” well, are they actually police officers or actors? As has already been pointed out, don’t the uniforms look pristine. Why do we not see more of the child’s face other than where it had been so carefully laid down on the beach? (Notice the arched back to keep the mouth clear of the waterline). Oh yes, think I’m talking boll*cks? Well, the BBC are good at using false pictures to tell us all how we should think, aren’t they?

      Even if your theory is not correct, the fact that you can feel that way, and are apparently far from alone in this, is living proof that the BBC has left consensus far behind, and is committed to a particular political point of view. It has no business doing this, of course, whatever the point of view is, and has so far abandoned the common understanding of those two words ‘inform’ and ‘educate’ in its revisionist lexicography, that it is also now, in terms, a stranger to the truth.

      When the truth is subject to expediency, and when that expediency is not openly shared with the public it serves, then it is time to dismember that organisation. It is institutionally corrupt.

    What the BBC won’t ever report:

    HAJDUKOVO, Serbia (AP) – A Pakistani identity card in the bushes, a Bangladeshi one in a cornfield. A torn Iraqi driver’s license bearing the photo of a man with a Saddam-style moustache, another one with a scarfed woman displaying a shy smile.

    Documents scattered only meters from Serbia’s border with Hungary provide evidence that many of the migrants flooding Europe to escape war or poverty are scrapping their true nationalities and likely assuming new ones, just as they enter the European Union.

    Many of those travelers believe that using a fake document – or having none at all – gives them a better of chance of receiving asylum in Germany and other western European states. That’s because the surest route to asylum is to be a refugee from war and not an economic migrant fleeing poverty. That fact has led to a huge influx of people claiming to be Syrian.

    The article is certainly worth a read as it confirms what all of us are thinking, and what the BBC are refusing to admit is going on.

      I spent much of my professional life modelling dynamic systems (mainly computing facilities and networks, but some ‘real’ systems too, such as baggage-handling) using queueing theory and/or event-driven simulation.

      I have never observed this kind of behaviour, except in circumstances of instability so great that the systems in question just keeled over and died (think bank ATMs expiring en masse, think outage on well known e-auction site, think government agency website collapsing on first day, etc). I have tried novel strategies of queue-management as a kind of ‘war-gaming’ and serving the last first is a formal possibility, but one that I would need serious convincing is anything but perverse.

    Sure, Fiona Bruce was struggling to look good whilst stuck in a sand storm in the Bekaa Valley and the Channel 4 guy was being straffed by mosquitos in Beirut last night – but really instead of a blue kevlar helmet and flak jacket with the word ‘Press’ proudly emblazoned across the chest, here he was with only a hi-viz vest and builders’ hard had on offer from the dressing up box – George Osbourn look-a-like gear!

    The reopening of the Borders Railway – for pete’s sake…. it’s bloody good news, and who ever furthered their career or won a prize with good news? The only twitter traffic this might generate for him would be from trainspotters – hash tag #SadManOnTheFlyingScotsman.

    Anyway he was making the best of it with a piece to camera where he played up that tired old meme about the expected Royal Visit with references to the smell of new paint, clean chewing gum-less platforms and the lack of graffiti about the place. Be fair, its all he had to work with.

    Then he gaffed. “… South of here in the direction of the border with the UK…. I mean, England…”

    Well that’s going to upset patriotic British unionists – does he think Scotland is a foreign country outside the UK already?

    It’s also sure to upset the Scots Nats too – how exactly I don’t know but they get upset with the BBC about just about anything they can!

    Knowing the name of this country and the correct terms for it and its neighbours ought to be fairly easy to grasp – for a native

    Is there perhaps something in BBC office culture that causes these slips? Freud would have something to say, I’m sure, but my theory is that for these liberal elite donkeys, in addition to being over-sensitised to foreigner feelings – as opposed to our own – well, I think they are just a bit thick.

As well as being articulate, and this stream of thought flowing like a well-rehearsed speech for a Stop The War rally, she sounded very English and very white.

As there are 5 times a day ‘washing’ going on, there are mounds of towels to consider (although soap is never used, its just a token washing), and then there are the framed photos of Mo to hang up somewhere. Let them come ! let the 11% do their bit ! and then after a month they’ll soon be phoning Social Services to relieve them of their visitors, and I’ll finish up paying for these idiots thoughtless hospitality.

    “Civilisation” wouldn’t be made in 2015, not just because The BBC would deem it to be over our heads – no mindless soundtrack and every scene embarrassingly enacted. It would also be rejected for political reasons: Much too Eurocentric and elitist. I mean, what an insult to their “diverse” audience to actually celebrate our own culture.

    The BBC web site has a picture of migrants being welcomed in Germany. There is a photo of the ‘crowd’ of welcomers two or three deep on the barriers lining the street. There is no estimate of the number who turned out to welcome their new neighbours. But if you look at this photo of the ‘Germans’ who did turn out in welcome ,then I estimate that more than 50% have really good tans. Not a blue eyed blonde to be seen and precious few white faces at all. It doesn’t look like a cross section of the German population that I know!

          What`s Geoff & GC on , nothing has been determined , on the Charter yet . I don`t remember , Ukip`s position on Charter renewal ,of it being closed down immediately .I think it should be drastically cut back , but no politician has called for it to be closed down as yet . It seems News 24 might go on line & replaced by BBC World in a year or so .The Labour Mob, wants more money for the BBC , but the Tories want it cut back for starters.

      The Beeboidess probably expected Carlile to agree with her as he is not an evil Tory. Bet she threw her toys out of the pram !

      As with Naughtie and Jenkin. The transcript is a hoot. Naughtie actually mocks someone using ‘people are saying’ as a basis of critique, when Jenkin uses actual names and quotes and the BBc only ever alludes to sources it won’t name on account of how their editorial integrity would get compromised.

      Speaking of which here’s Labour’s great bearded hope team screaming because they BBc asked them questions they didn’t want him to answer:

      http://order-order.com/2015/09/08/team-corbyn-blast-bbc-character-assassination

      Jezza should have asked Hugs’ lawyers in to pull an exemption. Sorted.

      Of course he should be asked. And the others challenged too.

      That the BBC is playing games like this, trying undermine some, boost others and conceal according to propaganda demands shows what a malign force they are to democratic process.

      £4B of public money to deploy shaping policy and rigging elections? No thanks.

    An organisation which monitors Islamofauxbic attacks claimed women are the primary targets … hmmmm
    Source BBC? … oh yes, thoroughly discredited liars from Tell MAMA

    BBC London News has a special on it – the obligatory walking black out curtain, states someone said “we don t trust you”
    onto another “someone tugged my veil”, more niquabi s come out with more of the same, “someone said I was a traitor “states one.
    Run that VT of the black guy, punching a woman from behind … an attack that has been trawled around on various programmes, its well over two and a half years old
    … So is that it?, the evidence? … beyond flimsy, both for the claim and the coverage by the BBC

    Why all the Burkha wearers on show? those of political vent usually? … hmmmm..

    First, its wearing is an instrument, encouraged by the Islamist political extremists, aimed at helping to prevent the integration of the Muslim community into mainstream British society, so wearing it is used to, visibly give the two fingers to our wider society, an overt statement of deliberate concealment too, why be surprised if people don t trust you?
    The veil hides identity, any common citizenship involves trust, and trust cannot exist where one cannot see people’s faces in public

    How did a call for “modesty” ever get perverted into this eh!

    “The veil sets women apart from men and apart from the world; it restrains them, confines them, grooms them for docility. A mind can be cramped just as a body may be, and a Muslim veil blinkers both your vision and your destiny. It is the mark of a kind of apartheid, not the domination of a race but of a sex.”

      It is pretty clear that the BBC and the Twiteratti are completely out of step with public opinion on this issue (I’ve seen a similar result in the online media in my area, too).

      This would not matter (so much) were the government not ruled by the virtue signalling classes. As it is, Cameron allows himself top be dictated to by a tiny minority. One day that will have fatal consequences for his premiership and when it does, I will dance a little jig.

        The problem they all have is that they think Twitter IS public opinion. Labour made the same mistake at the Election – they thought everyone agreed with them because their Twitter feed said so.

        (Sorry, yet again! I clicked on Reply in the right place but …. you know the rest. This is in response to GCooper’s post, not taffman’s.)

        You don’t need to – go ahead and dance the jig now. Except I find the situation rather more worrying despite the fact that I long for a better Conservative leader.

        Dave is a dead duck. He’s announced that he’s not going to lead beyond 2020 which means in reality that he must stand down in good time before then. That will allow a new leader to get established and even enough time for the Party to realise they have made another mistake, ‘knife the new one in the back in fine Tory tradition’, and get in a replacement in the nick of time for 2020.

        In addition, the EU Referendum must be held before end 2017. It is reasonably assumed that Cameron wants IN but if the country votes OUT, then he’s an even deader duck. So, if the EU-R comes mid-2017, we may be saying ByeBye to Dave in two years time or just under that. He’ll disappear to a bunch of high-paid directorships or his memoirs (or both) and everyone else will be left with the mess. The worry for me is that lame-duck Presidents (Obama is in the same position now) or Premiers might be tempted to think of ‘their legacy’ and end up in their last days in leadership imposing on us something dafter and messier than they have achieved thus far.
