One side to every story

We noted the irony of the BBC warning us about fake news in reports that were themselves fake news. Here they are telling us that Trump tweeted out some fake videos as they report the BBC’s Orwellian propaganda drive in schools….

The issue surfaced again this month when the President retweeted three inflammatory videos from a British far-right group whose authenticity was subsequently challenged.

The videos were real and even the one that was supposedly not of an immigrant was in fact of the violent offspring of immigrants to Holland…so when they say he was ‘born in the Netherlands’, well yes, but not assimilated….which is the point.

Emma Barnett continues in this vein today as she spoke of Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ which as we know is not a ban on Muslims but on people from ‘countries of concern’ [as defined by the sainted Obama] which just happen to be Muslim.  [and why no concern about all those Muslim countries that ban Israelis and people wth Israeli stamps in their passports from travelling?]  She did this as she brought to our attention a story about fake news….it concerned, guess who….Trump, the Daily Mail, Katy Hopkins and the ‘victim’, Jackie Teale, a right-on teacher who ticks every box that you might expect.  Like the way she describes the Mail as ‘popular forces’….trying to create an idea that it is somehow rather sinister.  And as you will see what the Mail produced was not fake news but a mistaken belief….not a deliberate attempt to deceive people…unlike Barnett’s interpretation of events which is fake news…ironically.

Teale went on the march against Trump waving a placard which was produced in class by some of her pupils in lessons about propaganda and how to protest…she claims she in no way influenced how the children thought, and she did not take any children on the march with her.  Hopkins in the Mail apparently claimed she did and the Mail had to apologise and pay out.

Somehow I cannot imagine that Trump was not demonised by Teale and ideas placed in the kids’ heads judging by everything Teale says and does…though of course she denies it and Barnett did not challenge her at all on this.

Take a look at Hopkins’ article [post correction] about teachers brainwashing kids and see if there is a problem…think you might agree with her…but oddly the brainwashing of kids with ‘fake news’ wasn’t Barnett’s concern.  Attacking the Mail and Hopkins was…however was the Mail’s story ‘fake news’ or just an error as it mistakenly believed Teale took the kids on the march?  The BBC makes many ‘mistakes’ …are these to be categorised as ‘fake news’ each and very time?  Why no interest from Barnett?

This page contains the BBC’s responses to editorial, technical and corporate issues. It includes apologies, significant corrections, statements and responses, and findings from the BBC Trust.

It does not include routine corrections to news stories, minor on-air apologies and schedule changes.

And why not investigate real fake news such as the BBC’s determined, and false, attempt to label Lord McAlpine a paedophile, or Cliff Richard, or indeed the BBC claim that a Polish man was killed in Harlow as a result of a racist attack #duetoBrexit….and the BBC’s demonisation of all Leave voters as racists?  The vilification of Thatcher, the attempts to smear Farage as a far-right Nazi along with anyone who supports UKIP such as councillor Rozanne Duncan who was absolutely crucified and pilloried for months by the BBC which smeared her, quite wrongly, as a racist.  Then there’s the BBC’s reporting on Trump, Israel, immigration, Islam, Brexit, the NHS, climate change…well you name it the BBC can’t be trusted to report accurately and truthfully on it.

Funny how Barnett and Co can miss what’s right under their noses and instead target everytime, all the time, Trump, the Mail, Brexiteers and anyone on the Right.

Here’s Iain Dale correcting what is the BBC’s anti-Brexit narrative about EU staff fleeing the NHS due to Brexit:

One of the failures of those who support Brexit is to expose the lies of those who continue to bang the Remain drum. We keep being told that EU nationals are all going home. As I write this, Sky’s Adam Boulton is interviewing Theresa Villers, and has asked her how we can build more houses if all the EU builders are leaving the country.

Just for the record, a week ago the ONS announced that there are now 2.38 million EU nationals working in the UK, a rise of 112,000 on a year ago. Don’t believe me? Click on this link.

Over the last year, we’ve also constantly been told that doctors and nurses from the EU are flooding out of the NHS, and going back to their home nations. It’s become a narrative which has been accepted all across the media. My LBC colleague, James O’Brien, speaks of little else. And yet it’s total bollocks. It is a lie. The latest figures show that there are actually more EU doctors in the NHS a year on from the referendum than there were on June 23 2016. Just for the record, here are the figures:

  • Doctors in the NHS June 2016 – 9,695
  • Doctors in the NHS June 2017 – 10,136
  • Registrars June 2016 – 3,190
  • Registrars June 2017 – 3,215
  • Trainee doctors June 2016 – 779
  • Trainee doctors June 2017 – 950
  • Midwives June 2016 – 1,220
  • Midwives June 2017 – 1,247
  • Ambulance staff June 2016 – 250
  • Ambulance staff June 2017 – 386
  • Scientific, therapeutic, technical staff June 2016 – 6,112
  • Scientific, therapeutic, technical staff June 2016 – 6,957
  • Nurses and health visitors June 2016 – 20,907
  • Nurses and health visitors June 2016 – 20,618

So, yes a very slight decline of 1.38 per cent in the number of nurses, but not overall statistically very significant. If you add all those figures up you find…

  • Total number of EU nationals in the NHS in June 2016 – 42,153
  • Total number of EU nationals in the NHS in June 2017 – 43,509

So, a 3.2 per cent rise over a year. And in case you think I have made these figures up, they were quoted in The Spectator and come from NHS Digitial.

Similarly, people like Michael White tweet that the trade gap has widened since we voted to leave the EU. A simple look at ONS figures shows this is not true.

  • 2015 Q4- 33, 681 billion.
  • 2016 Q1 – 31,169 billion.
  • 2016 Q2 – 28,440 billion.
  • 2016 Q3 – 33,034 billion.
  • 2016 Q4 – 22,812 billion.
  • 2017 Q1 – 22,256 billion.
  • 2017 Q2 – 23,182 billion.

We keep being told that it’s the Brexiteers who are guilty of telling ‘porkies’ with the red bus being cited constantly, but those who put the public case for Brexit need to be fully aware of the lies that are being told on the other side, and be prepared to expose them whenever they are able to.

    The BBC should not be going into schools,who gave them the right to do so. Would any other body be allowed to go near children with their past record of jimmy savile,etc. The whole BBC should be on the sex offenders list. A person would be why not the bbc.

      Then the BBC should go over the heads of any school head (s) who puts up the slightest barrier/opposition by calling those heads Bigots and full of hate towards the BBC!

      They will soon have the rainbow fascists on the front gate of that school supporting the bbc!

      I find it incomprehensible that this site, of all sites, is still repeating the debunked allegations against Jimmy Savile. The ITV Exposure programme was fake news before it became fashionable. For the facts see http://bit.ly/2dybGYs and the bizarre role of the BBC here http://bit.ly/2mMrQza

        Savile allegations debunked? Really?

        From Mr Voxpopper’s Blog regarding Rotherham. Glossing things over.
        http://mrvoxpopper.blogspot.co.uk/search?q=rotherham

        “This blog has been vociferous in its condemnation of the sheer madness of allowing large scale open ended immigration of people who, through cultural and racial differences, can only with difficulty be properly assimilated into mainstream British society. However, this does not mean that the local Muslim community should be vilified for the clearly criminal actions of a relatively small number of their men, as many in the media are now doing. There is nothing in Islam which justifies or condones the worst kind of behaviour contained in this report. These men are clearly acting as freelancers outside the beliefs of the religion and community to which it is claimed they belong.”

        “What has been happening here is that teenage girls have exchanged sexual favours for drink, drugs, cigarettes, money, attention, affection (mostly bogus) and an invitation into a more glamorous, albeit degenerate, adult world. According to numerous surveys a third of teenagers below the age of consent are sexually active. So these teenage girls are behaving no differently in this respect from large numbers of their peers. What appears to differentiate these encounters is that some of the men appear to be acting in groups and are of an older generation than is generally the case with their white male equivalents.”

        “As a result of this furore calls are now being made that it should be a criminal offence not to report suspicions of ‘child sexual abuse’. However, this much overused and exaggerated term is now routinely assumed by the authorities to cover any kind of sexual or ‘grooming’ activity by, or with, a person under the age of consent. If this is brought into law, and includes young teenagers, it will keep our legal system very busy indeed, require the building of vast number of prisons and tie down much police time at the expense of pursuing other crimes of greater concern to the public.”

    The trouble will the left is that they seem to think that using the same counter-example time and time again somehow invalidates every transgression made by their supporters or by factions they sympathise with.

    So every time a luvvie is caught with his trousers down, it’s “But… Trump said this one thing that one time.” Every time the Remoaners are exposed for scaremongering again, it’s “But… teh red bus!” And every time there’s a terrorist attack sponsored by the Religion of Peace, it’s “But, But… Jo Cox!”

    It’s like suffering an innings defeat, then claiming victory on the grounds you took a couple of wickets before the other team declared.

    Loved this data. Well done to David Davis on his remorseless British Bull dog (dead ringers parody but I like it)positive crushing of Eu propoganda. He’s also left enough wriggle room to play some aces at the end of negotiations on the red line issues. Roll on trade talks.

    Toady watch
    0810 interview – Humph v Gove . Gove is gifted with a mouth which never stops. Humph is gifted with a mouth which likes to hear itself – if you get me. So on The Great Brexit Breakthrough Humph really couldn’t work out what line to take. I hope this isn’t going to cost up too much – but I bet it does – and when the number drips out over Christmas it will be eye watering – more than £50 000 000 000 – but don’t worry we ll be paying in instalments so that’s ok.

    The only one I trust on this is Jacob Rees Mogg and I think he ll go with the “it was a win for blighty” narrative – let’s see.

      Can`t say that I have ANY faith on the Tories ability to give us anything but yet another of Camerons “dead bird in a box” moments like he did on returning from Brussels with that “deal” of his.
      At least you could do origami with what Chamberlain brought home from Munich.
      Hate to say this, but get the idea that nearly all the Brexit types in the Cabinet are still creatures of Blair, Mandelson, Major and Osborne. Gove or Johnson have neither the intellect, courage or righteous anger required to stuff Brussels where it belongs.
      Blair turns out to be Monsanto Roundup, killed all REAL opposition to Project Eurabia.
      Yes, we`ll fight and resist-but clowns like Bojo, faux smartypants like Gove turn out to have not REALLY wanting Brexit. Just a position to take the Tory crown, once Cameron had caught his willy in his zipper on June 23rd.
      Pathetic-we`ll be needing out own Trump, but one who HATES the Left and all its works. Not crave the purrings of their masters, Soros and Blair.
      Jacob will need a Tebbit , Lawson ar a Ridley. Unsure if the current greybacks like Redwood are too grey and boring. Owen Paterson after a week with Tebbit and Bannon might do .

    With regards to the infamous retweeted videos, I notice the leftist MSM are only concentrating on one. I take this to mean that the other two, one of a muslim destroying a statue of the Virgin Mary, the other of muslims throwing a gay off a roof to his death, are true. I’m sure they are, there is no need to stage anything like that, the muslims are more than happy to do it for real and film themselves doing it.

    In the one video they dispute, their argument is that the youth kicking the shit out of another youth on crutches is not a “muslim immigrant”, as he was in fact born in Holland of immigrant parents, as if that made him as Dutch as Rembrandt.

    The left wing MSM are too stupid to see that they are not defeating Trump’s argument, they are bolstering it. Even though he was born in Holland, the muslim youth clearly hates the native Dutch, and is happy to be filmed, laughing, as he kicks a disabled Dutch youth to the ground and viciously beats the defenceless kid. Someone born in Holland, apparently entitled to Dutch nationality, fed, housed and educated by the Dutch taxpayer, nevertheless feels no empathy for a crippled Dutch Christian, but like muslims have been doing for the last 1400 years, does as his prophet commands and attacks the infidel.

    This is why it will never stop, and why The Donald is so right to point it out. There is no peaceful coexistence with islam. There never was in the past, there certainly isn’t now, and there won’t be in the future. The brain dead MSM leftists would rather argue over a footnote, whilst they ignore the future shaping up right before their eyes.

    Thank God for President Donald J Trump.

    How the bBC promotes anti-Semitism
    Currently the entire Islamic world is offended (Like always) about how the US is going to move its embassy to Jerusalem . That outrage has manifested itself into attacks including numerous rocket strikes into Israel from Gaza. Whilst the vast majority have been stopped by iron dome the attack on the town of sderot succeeded due to the fact the town is only 500 metres away from Gaza thus giving little to no time for any projectiles launched against it to be stopped and the bBC headline on this story is:

    As this is the bBC they acknowledge only 1 missile strike from Gaza, but do point out that nobody has been reported hurt. Meanwhile they go to great lengths to report how:
    1)Israel has carried out air strikes against targets in Gaza, injuring a number of people,
    2)A Palestinian man died after Israeli troops shot at people throwing stones earlier on Friday. A second was reported to be in a critical condition.
    3)Israeli aircraft attacked Hamas military facilities in Gaza in retaliation, the Israeli army said, and the area’s hospital said 14 people were wounded

    The bBC also have a section on the key holy sites in Jerusalem.

    _99103749_jerusalem_quarters_map_english640-nc.png

    Looking at the bBC map you can see how the Jews share the city with Musims. The thing the bBC doesn’t report is that from 1947 to 1967 Jordan (aka Muslims) refused Jews to visit their holiest site. In fact the Jordanians ripped up Jewish grave stones in the city and used them as latrines. But to the the bBC only the jews can be evil. But then they do swallow everything that their mullahs unzip on a Friday.

    The bBC, the biggest promoter of anti-Semitism in the world.

    Anything less than 100% accurate, if I recall correctly, is ‘FakeNews’ according to Ritula Shah of the BBC. That is the standard that has (inadvertently?) been set for them.

    The BBC used to refer to President Trump’s travel ban as being on Muslim countries. But as anyone knows, not all of the countries on the list are 100% Muslim. Most are majority Muslim with tiny percentages of other faiths or perhaps, in the case of Somalia, a significant Christian community, and Venezuela, a vastly majority Christian (Roman Catholic) population. If the BBC refers to the CURRENT ban at any time as being anti-Muslim or against Muslim countries then they are guilty of broadcasting FakeNews.

    Interestingly, the two previous Presidential ‘travel ban orders’ were apparently not overturned because of their discriminatory nature but because of what Donald Trump had tweeted during the Presidential campaign. The words he used, apparently, removed the legitimacy of his subsequent Presidential Order. Funny that. A careless Tweet causing problems. Ho hum. Funny also, I do not recall ever hearing the BBC mention that fact on Radio 4.

    I wonder why?

    Just heard some bloke called Robert McFarlane telling Martha Kearney on her show that the Scots have a word-Skelvie-which denotes( and I quote) a “thick snowflake”. So this would be an Owen Jones as opposed to a Lily Allen who is a classic snowflake.
    There also turns out to be “hoar snowflakes”-these ,Im` guessing would be old, getting thin and reedy with a grey tinge-and a desperate need to be in with the younger snowflakes. i`m thinking Jon Snow and Jeremy Carbon here, Sarah Teather too.
    The Icelanders have many words for snow-thought I`d start the ball rolling …Skelvies, hoarflakes and Jonsnoze…three for starters.
    How grand to be at the start of a new Esperanto!

    Just listen to this far-right hate preacher … I think she should be locked up for what she said in 2015 … worse than Anjem Choudary (who sided with the Remain Campaign just like this women) …

    Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society. It’s difficult for schools and hospitals and core infrastructure like housing and transport to cope. And we know that for people in low-paid jobs, wages are forced down even further while some people are forced out of work altogether. … So there is no case, in the national interest, for immigration of the scale we have experienced over the last decade.

    Theresa May as Home Secretary // Speech to the Conservative Party Conference – in full / 06.10.2015

    Such hate speech from a World Leader … what is her excuse?

    relates to:Our kids are being taught at university that ideas like Brexit (belief in national democracy) and wanting to control immigration are Far Right. This books sounds like a Dave Spart parody. What a load of rubbish.
