SANCTUARY ON THE BBC….

This erudite article is worth your attention

“When it comes to inaccurate, hopelessly biased “reporting” on immigration, Americans are spoiled for choice. Advocacy journalism is now more the rule than the exception and so rebutting and correcting the deluge of crooked immigration “reporting” is something of a Sisyphean task. Consuming a steady diet of mainstream media immigration “reporting” is akin to relocating to a toxic waste dump — after a while, you barely even notice the stench.

But every so often, I stumble across an immigration piece or segment so odious, so egregious, so hopelessly partisan in nature and execution that I can hardly digest it without retching. Sometimes, dear readers, journalists distinguish themselves with something so foul that they deserve to be named and shamed. This nine-minute, 16-second propaganda piece on the origins and impact of the sanctuary city movement in San Francisco, broadcast on the BBC “Witness” program on February 10, is just such a creature.

    It’s strange how they’re willing to wheel in Christianity when it suits their odious agenda yet spat and trampled on the rest of the time.

      And thick Christians LET them hide behind the sandbags too.
      Really want Trump and the likes of Farage to get dirty in return with the BBC and their like. Just SICK of good men like Session and Flynn getting bogged down and hog tied in dental floss by the Left and their media cones like CNN.
      The Left DEMAND power goes to them-very much like IS do. Yet we let Tebbit twist in their warm wind, because we don`t see the stakes piled high and them winning all the time.
      Why aren`t Trumps REAL guerrillas taking out five Dems for every assault on one of them-that corrupt bunch of limelickers have enough dirt on them, and Donald need only tweet it.
      FFS-we couldn`t even gt a spurt up to get rid of Bercow….and f***in Vaz is STILL leeching off us.
      It really is about time that we got rid of the likes of Jon Snow etc-give Trump a victory or two over here to cheer him up. He must think that we`re not worth a visit if we let a Laura Kuennsberg speak for us.
      Let`s see the Libtards go the way of Flynn, when did we EVER burn a Lefty leech off our politics? Do we even WANT to?
      No wonder the left think we`re shit.Let`s get them back.

    I did something I vowed not to bother doing again (because their answers always end in ‘we believe we are right’ if they can’t answer your complaint). I complained to the BBC, in reference to the ‘One Show’ a couple days ago, in a report on the Grunwick strike in the 70’s. The BBC’s heroine is a 4 foot 8 inches tall/diminutive Indian woman, we know this because the BBC told us so and she stood up to her six foot boss to tell him what she thought of his employment contract. The BBC failed to mention his name was Eddie Shah himself an Indian, but I digress!
    We were told what she said to him accompanied by text on the screen, it was a speech worthy of C S Lewis himself or indeed ML King, it was not made by this woman it was too ‘perfect’, and I never heard this quote before despite being a lefty student in London at the time and taking a keen interest in all strikes, as we did in those days!
    This little ( what happened to we are all equal mantra) Indian woman and three colleagues ( Indian ) walked out of work in protest, eventually according to the salivating female presenter, docker’s miner’s steelworkers ( you know white men ) came out on strike in sympathy and eventually 20.000 marched in support of the diminutive Indian woman.
    According to the virtually orgas….euphoric presenter this lone female was a ‘true pioneer and a true British hero’.
    My complaint wasn’t about this total misrepresentation of the facts as bad as they were, but what the female presenter said to one of the woman’s Indian colleagues, I paraphrase.. ‘wow for members of an ethnic community to take a lead in strike action is incredible’ now I quote and do not paraphrase.. ‘especially in the 1970’s RACIST Britain…’
    This blew me out of my sofa so enraged was I, my wife thought I’d had a heart attack ( maybe I did! ), this statement was an insult to millions of tolerant British people, most in those days had never seen an ‘ethnic minority’ because then they were just that a tiny minority so how could we be racist? What we had was a re writing of an industrial event rather like ‘Cable street’ itself re written by the left. But more importantly the slur against my country is that it was quite simply and factually according to the BBC.. racist.I await their reply and will notify you all in due course.

    I appear to have written this on the wrong blog, oops!

    I feel your anger especially when you know nothing can be done about this misinformation until the state broadcaster is crushed .

    My memories of the 70s was that there was some ignorance about incomers and the government of the day didnt make a very good job of explaining that people were needed to help run the public services following he decimation of he war. but assimilation took place and generally people got on with things.

    That s what’s happening now despite the seperate cultures and the millions of extra people putting pressure on things .You don’t see mass racism in the streets as the BBC pretends .

    Im still fuming about racist portrayal in Eastenders. It just doesn’t happen despite provocations.

      Yes Eastenders, now with a resident Pole. Naturally he’s the perfect East European stereotypical hard working and community spirited character.

      We all know London voted remain because everyone is really tolerant and rub along nicely thanks.

      Shame then that Walford locals are having to sort out some local xenephobes, London’s not that tolerant after all.

      To a small degree there was some racism from the NF in some of the big cities, London the most obvious as that is where all the newcomers flooded to and swamped ( copyright the iron lady ) the indigenous, however incidents were tiny as I was living in London in the seventies. However the rest of the country at that time was spared the misfortune that city dwellers suffered.
      So to refer to ‘1970’s racist Britain’ is factually incorrect and there are no figures that I am aware of in terms of ‘racist attacks’ etc that prove otherwise outside of london, and of course in those days there was no ‘hate crime’ if a person felt they were a victim of ‘hate crime’. No figures were given to prove a racist Britain by the presenter, thus the BBC once again purveyors of fake news!

    I saw that on The One Show, a grinning, right on, mouthy Asian ‘reporter’ on The One Show commenting on the Grunwick strike of the seventies. I was so incensed, I wrote down verbatim what she said:

    “…Lead by a migrant woman in a racist Britain.” Followed almost immediately by “…And amazingly the almost universally white male unions of Britain took to the streets to support her.”

    Talk about contradictions.

    The BBC make no effort to present the news in an objective, informative and fair way. It uses an inordinate number of ethnic ‘minority’ reporters, presenters or ‘celebrities’ to deliver it’s Cultural Marxist propaganda in almost everything it broadcasts.

      Yes, an astute point about the contradiction but when your whole ethos is denying reality contradictions are bound to be many!
      Thanks for consolidating my post.

        All the above Cassandra is the result of the Left getting a complete stranglehold on the culture-pop, education and “historical record”-and getting a good living out of crap like Pride, Billy Elliot, Kinky Boots, Priscilla, School Of Rock and what have you. Thatcher and Reagan did plenty-but really screwed up on letting the culture rip. Hence Channel 4 and the colonisation of the lefty bacillus in higher education.
        Bannon knows this in the USA-but he can`t do everything.
        As we`re seeing with the Lords and Sessions in the USA-we give the Left a bit of blood and the sharks gather.
        No passeran-the culture is key. For example-if Trump is NOT welcomed by cheering crowds who can deal with agitators and the likes of the BBC-then we`re as soft and there for the taking as the Left thinks. And IS will get the message too.

    Interesting comments above. I think there was an element of racism in Britain, especially (mostly? only?) in four or five major cities, in the 1960s. It was not long after large-scale Irish and West Indian migration before and after WW2.

    The famous Enoch Powell speech in the late 1960s had two major effects. Support & opposition from those same dockworkers (mentioned in the BBC Grunwick piece) and others, in other words, a conflict ‘on the Left’ over immigration into Britain. Secondly, a real attempt by everyone else to get over that racism and to get along with each other. London was fast becoming an even more international city, with many from the USA together with limited numbers from west & north-west Europe, coming to London. (BBC R4 covered the stories of some from that last group about a year ago.) Soon, in the early 1970s there would be widespread migration from the wealthy Middle Easterners and East Africans and others from that continent, especially for study at Universities in London.

    By the time of the Grunwick strike, I would say London was a less racist city but criminality among & from immigrants was starting to become a problem. It was around that time that we were hearing the term ‘Yardie’ and ‘Triad’, for examples, for the first time. The UK had been a member of the forerunner of the EU since 1 January 1973. It would not be long after, that there would be riots linked to race in the early 1980s.

    If UK has become more racist and there is some evidence that it has, then it has happened a few years after we joined the EEC/EC. The finger of accusation points inescapably at the EEC/EC/EU. The same finger of accusation points at the EEC/EC/EU for the economic decline of the UK. (Research ‘Britain: The Sick Man of Europe’)

    The BBC really should not be in favour of the EU if they wish to reduce ‘racism’ in the UK.
