The Danegeld (/ˈdeɪn.ɡɛld/; “Danish tax”, literally “Dane tribute”) was a tax raised to pay tribute to the Viking raiders to save a land from being ravaged.
We know that the BBC hides political and social messages within its programming, not just shamelessly distorting its news reporting to bring us a carefully shaped narrative but selecting the subject matter of its documentaries, historical dramas and, well, just about any programme you care to mention from comedy to children’s programming, in order to reflect the message of the day that the BBC thinks the viewers and listeners need to learn….their views being a result of ignorance and prejudice and a bigoted misunderstanding of the world.
We know that Roger Harrabin, that Rasputin-like figure who will go down in history, along with his colleague, climate activist Dr Joe Smith, as one of the most corrupting influences upon the climate change debate, engineered the infamous seminars at the BBC in order to pressure BBC bosses, editors, producers and programme commissioners to adulterate their programmes with climate change propaganda.
We know that BBC programming has been hugely distorted to provide us with a very misleading picture of the Muslim community, their views and Islam itself…the latest being ‘Nadiya’s’ win on the GBBO which has been a triumph for the BBC’s multicultural propaganda unit….but which displays everything that is wrong with the BBC’s approach and their own misunderstanding of why people criticise Islam. The BBC thinks if only we could get to see that a Muslim, like Nadiya in a headscarf, can be a nice person then we will therefore conclude that Islam must be nice too. If Nadiya is so proud of being a Muslim, and is obviously devout, headscarf and all, then ask her some questions about that…does she think apostates should be killed, adulterers lashed or possibly stoned to death, gay people killed, criminals have their hands and feet chopped off, does she think women are inferior to men, that Muslims can take slaves and four wives, that Muslims shouldn’t make friends with unbelievers, that Muslims must fight the unbeliever until Islam reigns supreme as ordered by the Korn, that those who oppose Islam should be crucified and have their hands and feet cut off as ordered by the Koran, does she believe in democracy, freedom of speech, or does she think Muslims should live under Sharia law in a caliphate, British first or Muslim first?
“Hijab is not a fashion accessory or a headdress. It is an act of worship and obedience to God’s command,” wrote Fatima Barkatulla, a London-based lecturer in Islamic thought, on Facebook.
“And we worship and obey God on his terms, not our terms.”
Does Nadiya agree with those Islamic principles? If so how does the fact that she can make cakes and drink tea alone make her ‘British’?
Cameron raised that very subject in a speech in June this year…
Only if we are clear about this threat and its causes can we tackle it. The cause is ideological. It is an Islamist extremist ideology one that says the West is bad and democracy is wrong that women are inferior, that homosexuality is evil. It says religious doctrine trumps the rule of law and Caliphate trumps nation state and it justifies violence in asserting itself and achieving its aims.
The question is: how do people arrive at this worldview?
They arrive at that worldview because that is Islam, taught to them from the day of their birth.
Of course it’s not just climate change and Islam that get the BBC makeover, immigration does too as the BBC tries to either promote it as a huge benefit to the nation or engineer unthinking sympathy for migrants with endless sad tales and photographs of children and women rather than the hordes of men that in reality make up the bulk of the immigrants.
Today we had a programme that indulged itself with the usual BBC riffs.…apparently the Roman Empire has lessons for us today, there are parallels with events today, it illustrates problems with the government’s prevention of terrorism policies and raises questions about drones killing British (LOL) citizens in Syria….and all sorts of parallels that reflect our attitudes towards immigration….when they say ‘our’ they mean you and me, the unthinking prejudiced mob. And oh yes…why did Miliband lose the election? It was the fault of the evil right-wing press and their wicked portrayal of Miliband as a dork who couldn’t eat a sandwich without cocking it up. Not his crazy policies and stupid headline grabbing stunts such as the Edstone then?
Bernard Cornwell has admitted that the BBC chose to turn his books into a television production because The Last Kingdom had ‘interesting echoes of today’
Author whose novels about King Alfred have been adapted for TV says his work deals with themes of nationhood and immigration under current debate.
The BBC was inspired to make a lavish new series about King Alfred the Great because of current debates about immigration and nationhood, according to the author of the historical drama.
The Last Kingdom is based on the novels of Bernard Cornwell about how King Alfred became the first king of the Anglo-Saxons and created England.
Cornwell said the BBC was interested in the story because it had echoes of today.
“That’s why they [the BBC] picked it”, he said. “I do see something modern in it – that we are all immigrants. The Saxons are immigrants – according to the British, the Celts, they have stolen the land they have. The first shield wall battle which Uhtred takes part in is [for the Saxons] against the Welsh.
“The Saxons were very successful colonisers, and neighbours, then the Danes, the Normans, the Huguenots, you name it … right through to this century, we are all immigrants.”
That has long been the BBC narrative, ‘we’re all immigrants’. A completely false and deliberately misleading rewriting of history. The BBC has worked hard to try and dismantle Britain and to destroy the British and English identity. This is the nation-hating, border-hating, Britain-hating BBC at work. A hugely damaging exercise in ethnic cleansing in effect, an attempt to wipe out any notion of an English or British identity, to destroy a feeling of unity and belonging, an attempt make you confused and rootless, vulnerable to the BBC’s message and a new identity as a ‘citizen of the world’.
The final message from the programme mentioned above was that they wanted people to think differently about their certainties, to sow doubt in their minds about their ideas of themselves in order to change things.
Who can doubt that that is precisely what the BBC sets out to do, to spread doubt and confusion based upon the BBC’s unique view of history that maligns all that is British and makes victims of the rest of the world to whom we now owe a debt in some shape or form.
Cornwell is of course living an immigrant’s life in America with his American wife and is immensely rich and so will hardly suffer the consequences of mass immigration however bad they may be. He will always have medical treatment, a job, schools for his children or grandchildren, a home to live in and the ability to escape if necessary. Not so those whom he, and the BBC, would impose immigration upon.
Cornwell thinks ‘The Last Kingdom’ tells us some truths about Britain today…well yes it just might….the most important lesson is that the problem with Danegeld is that the Danes kept coming back for more. Appeasing the invaders doesn’t pay off. One day you have to stand up to them and take back your country……
Rudyard Kipling, much hated by the Left, spells it out……
Dane-Geld
A.D. 980-1016
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: --
"We invaded you last night--we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: --
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"
