    What is the matter with these witch-hunting liberals? Even if someone IS racist, how is it an offence that deserves prison? What a person thinks isn’t a crime punishable by law. Yet.

      What I get fed up about is the fact that apparently according to the likes of BBC, only white people can be racist and hate crimes do not apply to the indigenous white population

      * Leeds 25 May 2018, was the most important day in modern Liberal/Leftyism
      It was the day for lib/lefties to PROVE their HONOUR *

      .. instead AFAIK know ALL of their public figures spotted a mob casting stones at a man.. and chose to join them hurling stones.

      .. Especially when then saw one of the first guys said
      “It’s a secret, but I’m actually a barrister”
      … #SECRETemBARRassment more like.

      As in the Emperor’s New Clothes fable
      a passing small boy could have spotted that the Leeds Suit was not a thing of beauty its maker and all the courtesans said it was
      ..none of them chose to pause and consider the suit as he did.
      .. The only public none partisan that did this was Tucker Carlson
      an maybe a US congressman.

      =================

      To their shame a few not formerly in the libmob joined those hurling stones : like Guido, like Nick Ferrari, like Piers Morgan
      whilst others like Farage and Delingpole and Maajid Naawaz failed to call out that stone hurling mob.
      Julia Hartley Brewer as well ?
      (I actually would forgive them, as they have millions of credit in the bank of honour )

      Libs/leftists can have honour
      ..some have in past proved honour by speaking against the mob on climate, and very belatedly calling out grooming gangs
      But on May 25th they all failed the honour test
      ..They did not behave like Samaritans they instead chose to join the mob hurling stones.

          I don’t know about your source Max
          but what i do know is that Tommy protests are characterisied by being mixed, open to all and peaceful people, who rush to STOP violence if one or two wronguns got wound up and step out of line.
          Whereas Brendan Coxes Hatey no Hopers and Antifa turn up to try to hijack these demos. They are characterised by having a large component of aggressive people many of whom come equipped with black face masks and smoke bombs
          ..and they are not averse to sending undercover provocateurs into the Tommy crowd to try to start up violence .
          As consequence much of those arrested do turn out to be Antifa, although NUJ deliberately choose to misrepresent by saying stuff like “6 arrested at Tommy March” even when all 6 were Antifa (like at Brighton).
          There are hours of livestreaming video footage on Youtube .

      Lucy – I think someone like Amber might disagree with you. But you know that, which is why you added ‘yet’ at the end.
      When I was young, it was pretty clear what ‘racism’ meant. That has changed now: the ‘Left’ have found the phrase to be a handy tool to assert their power by evoking guilt. The only thing that hasn’t apparently changed is, that only whites can be guilty of it. (See ‘hate crime’)
      There is a lot of confusion here. I remember a handy guide from my youth:
      a.aggressive behavior: I have rights, you do not;
      b. assertive behavior: We both have rights;
      c. non-assertive behavior: You have rights, I have none.

      A racist is not any color. A racist displays aggressive (NOT assertive) behavior towards someone of another color without good reason. And some whites (in the main)will call other whites racist, precisely because they think it shows they’re ‘liberal’ (a label, the meaning of which has also changed a lot)
      Most of your ‘witch hunting liberals’ display aggressive behavior, and most of their ‘victims’ are cowed into non-assertive behavior.
      Could that be what riles you?
      And yes, if this does not change, the non-assertives will end up in prison for thinking wrong thoughts.

    You don’t have to go down the list very far to realise that Soros detests the USA and everything about it. He is a subversive who wants to destroy Western society. All in all, a pretty sick (but very rich) treasonous individual.
    Soros has recently announced that he is putting $18 billion into Europe to arrest and halt the popular culture that’s growing.

    The BBC 4MB code of conduct on their site is a right riveting read . The best chuckle i got out of it was this :

    “Trust is the foundation of the BBC: we are independent, impartial and honest. We are committed to achieving the highest standards of due accuracy and impartiality and strive to avoid knowingly and materially misleading our audiences.”

    Forgive me if you’ve seen it before that it was a new one to me. As you see the code of conduct you also see a picture of Jimmy Saville in your head because I’m sure that was why the arse covering piece of tosh was written .

      Fed, shame Jonny Dymond does not appear to have read it, let alone memorised the passage that you quote.

  6. Up2snuff says:

    Jonny Dymond is the Friday Guy for TWatO so that the Montacutie can have a long weekend, somewhere.

    Today he covered President Trump’s appearance at a political event in Pennsylvania last night and, specifically, in relation to Trump’s attacks on the Press and the MainStream Media and Dymond lied. He implied or even claimed outright that Donald Trump, alone, was the one candidate who attacked ‘the Press’ throughout the 2016 US Presidential Campaign.

    Snuffy’s memory is developing all sorts of deficiencies but one thing I do remember from 2015 & 2016 US Presidential race is attacks on the US from a MSM ‘insider’. But it wasn’t Trump who was the MSM ‘insider’.

    It wasn’t Trump because it was John Kasich. Had Jonny Dymond been a BBC journalist and presenter worth a tenth of his salary, he should have checked his script beforehand. Had he done so, as I have spent an unpaid hour doing, he would have found the ‘truth’ that he was presenting on the 100% accurate BBC was not just a lie but an outright and overwhelming calumny.

    I have posted before that I do not like Trump. He’s not my sort of person, politician or … I was about to add more alliteration … performer. But wait.

    Just a little research using an ancient laptop (no up-to-date iPads and Macbooks here, Jonny, unlike the BBC) and no assistant (unlike the BBC) the internet provided me with lots of information on Republican candidates and their relationship to the Press and MSM.

    Just take three which, btw, I cannot vouch for, they just came up in a quick Google search:

    https://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/28/politics/republican-debate-media/index.html

    https://www.vox.com/2016/8/16/12484644/media-donald-trump

    https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2016/06/14/harvard-study-confirms-refutes-bernie-sanderss-complaints-media

    So Jonny Dymond and the BBC, not only is it not just Trump and Kasich, as media insiders, who criticised and went after the media and their ‘misreporting’ and ‘biases’ in the 2016 White House race but it was several more of the Republican candidates and – oh hoho, what do I see – but a Democrat, also going after the MSM, too! Yes, Trump has continued to attack the MSM as President and it would appear from Jonny Dymond and the BBC that he is absolutely correct to do so.

    On the basis of this latest attack on President Trump, it would appear the BBC are so slimy they are a metre submerged in the mud at the bottom of the swamp.

    I’m developing a bit of a liking, some admiration for President Trump …..
    … as a performer.

    Also as a potential peacemaker.

    And as someone who appears to ‘Speak Truth to Power’.

    Yup, Dymond is clearly worried about the lack of drugs and stuff after Brexit.
    And his EU monkey at Cambridge Poly seemed also upset about losing her grants-she`s an EU course jocky, and her alarm at a “no deal” Brexit was something to behold.

    So basically, two fat salaried, unproductive and parasitic blowhards who vote Remain get to tell us all that we`ll go into the abyss next April.

    It’s amazing how the BBC is happy to allow a lie (that the President was late for Her Majesty) to go unchallenged when it is against Donald Trump. Only when he calls them out on it do they decide to do a “reality check”, to try and show he wasn’t early.

      As an aside, I usually read this site these days from my phone or iPad, where links to Twitter show up as the Tweet itself. Making a rare foray on to my laptop (Firefox browser), I note that much of the Tweet is not reproduced, such as the link to an article or the Tweet it is responding to. Which removes a lot of the context of the comment.

      Does anyone know why, and if there is any way round this?

      Great work on posting this. Trump probably knew that if he had said he was on time, they wouldn’t have checked but because of their desperation to prove him wrong he had to say he was early so that they would expose their own lie.

      It’s amazing how much pointless crap they got out of him even meeting the Queen. He should have bowed, Melania should have courtesed (sp), he shouldn’t have walked in front, he was late. It’s like the ramblings of some bitter old hag confined to an armchair.

    Former KKK wizard David Duke praised Jeremy Corbyn victory

    ‘A white supremacist and former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan praised the election of Jeremy Corbyn to the Labour leadership as a sign that people were recognising “Zionist power” and “Jewish establishment power”.

    David Duke, who led a branch of the KKK based in Louisiana in the 1970s, told listeners to his radio show in 2015: “It’s a really good kind of evolutionary thing, isn’t it, when people are beginning to recognise Zionist power and ultimately the Jewish establishment power in Britain and in the western world.”’

    From Russia Today…

    #WeAreCorbyn trends at No.3 worldwide as Corbynites fight back against anti-Semitic ‘smears’

    ‘ The #WeAreCorbyn hashtag reached No.3 worldwide and No.1 in UK Twitter trends on Thursday, as supporters fought back against what they see as anti-Semitic “smears” against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

    It will be seen as a welcome boost for Corbyn, who has been under intense pressure over recent weeks from sections of the mainstream media and the political establishment, including some of his own Labour MPs, on the issue of anti-Semitism.’

    Why is RT trying to ‘boost’ Corbyn and #WeAreCorbyn?

    There might be a reason for that as Guido tells us….

    #WeAreCorbyn Backed By Russian-Linked Twitter Accounts

    ‘Analysis by the respected international think tank the Alliance for Securing Democracy has found that Jeremy Corbyn is being backed by an army of Russian linked Twitter accounts. The alliance, whose esteemed bipartisan advisory council includes former world leaders and cabinet secretaries from the Obama and Bush administrations, tracks Russian influence operations on twitter.

    Of all the trends among Twitter accounts known to be linked to Russian state over the last 48 hours, by far and away the highest social media influence priority was pushing the #WeAreCorbyn hashtag.’

    Not a new thing of course unless you rely on the BBC for your news as you may not have heard that Corbyn was supported by the Russians during the last election….

    Russian Twitter ‘bots’ attempted to influence election by supporting Jeremy Corbyn, investigation finds

    ‘Russia attempted to influence the results of the general election by promoting the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, it has been claimed.

    6,500 Russian Twitter accounts, many of which are run by internet robots known as “bots”, supported Labour in the run up to last year’s election, an investigation by The Sunday Times has found.

    The social media accounts, most of which were created in the weeks before polling day, denigrated the Conservatives and promoted Labour during key points of the campaign, according to reports. ‘

      StewGreen,

      Funny thing this Russian business of influencing elections. With all the sound and fury in the past 2 years over the alleged Russian influence on the US elections I have not heard one reasoned and educated comment on who the Russians were allegedly backing.

      There was a tidal wave of innuendo aimed at making people believe that Trump was the supposed beneficiary of the interference, but not a shred of evidence.

      Surely it would have been in Russian interests to back that witch Hilary Clinton – who could be relied on 100% to make shady deals like shifting large chunks of US uranium Russia’s way?

      I rest my case – what there is of it.

    There was a tiny spark of light in the darkness of the UK judicial system when Tommy Robinson’s sentence for ‘contempt of court’ was overturned. One hopes that the ‘court case’ of the ‘judge’ who sentenced him in May has helped set a legal precedent and that ‘justified contempt of court’ will now be considered a valid defence .

    I admit I just made that up but it really does feel good.

    Who in their right mind would not be justified in feeling contempt not only for the judiciary but the entire rotten UK establishment?

    If you have tears prepare to shed them….two dreadful tales of abuse, oppression and a cruel world….from BBC ‘Sob Stories’….it’s not their fault damnit!!!

    You’re on the verge of losing everything – but you don’t understand why
    ‘A run of bad luck leaves one man struggling to make sense of the UK benefits system. Very soon he is left with no income and at risk of losing the roof over his head. Can he find his way through a bafflingly complex maze of rules? Put yourself in his shoes. ‘

    It is indeed a sad story but is it really The System or is it a case of an individual who isn’t capable of navigating everyday life and its demands? How can you not realise you have been ‘sanctioned’ and money stopped for 212 days and carry on regardless without asking questions?

    ‘You know nothing about this. You don’t actually work out that you’ve been sanctioned for 212 days. You just know there is less money coming in. ‘

    Clearly he is not fully capable of dealing with such issues….you could ask if The System should take that into account and put procedures in place[they may well be there…does the BBC ask?] to help people who are unable to do the paperwork…but it doesn’t mean the system for the average person is a disaster as the BBC and Ken Loach like to portray…using the usual BBC trick of taking one extreme example and using as if it was representative of the whole.

    Then there’s this….can’t imagine Tommy Robinson getting a BBC reporter spending a good deal of time trying to ‘understand’ how he got to where he is today…

    The radicalisation of Safaa Boular: A teenager’s journey to terror

    Not her fault of course…her violent, fanatical Islamist mother’s….no questions about how her mother became an Islamic fanatic.

    The BBC tells us…

    ‘Throughout her case, Safaa’s defence was simple. She had been manipulated and used by a fighter, abused by her mother and misled by her troubled older sister. Unspoken, but hinted as, was a suggestion that she had been let down by investigators who could have extracted her earlier.

    But, that’s not what the jury saw. They saw a teenager who actively took steps to go to Syria to support a fighter, who admitted in messages she wanted to attack the UK and, when arrested, encouraged her sister and mother to carry on regardless. ‘

    Trouble is it is what the BBC sees…every time.

    Julie Bindel asks how it is possible that ‘snowflakes’ are preventing her from speaking at universities.

    Bindel is a model Guardian columnist, a left wing militant feminist, who doesn’t quite agree with the other screechy feminists. Well, I wonder if she should look at The Guardian and note no one is allowed to write anything that might upset the certainties of the soft left. How she herself has shrieked and protested with her fingers in her ears if anyone dared to suggest she just might be, you know, not 100% right in everything she declaimed.

    We are seeing the left revolution eat itself yet again. As Trotsky might advise Julie Bindel, ‘watch out for the ice pick, darling, you never see it coming’.

    Only of course it’s all very reasonable with so many ifs and buts and relative comments and opposing views and isn’t Jeremy trying really hard to battle anti-semitism? None of that angry tone used against Trump or anyone on the Right, no sneers or mocking, no clever sly allusions to Nazism, no talk of concentration camps, ethnic cleansing or hate crime, no mention of his close links to Hamas and Hezbollah, and of course no mention that he wants to abolish the Army, NATO and MI5, not to mention Trident or his links to Russia and their desire to see him elected or indeed his Marxist economics that will smash the economy…the BBC very concerned about Brexit but not a government controlled by people who want to smash Capitalism?!

      Is the BBC an anti-Semitic Organisation?

      The BBC’s use of omission as regards Hamas rocket attacks is well known. Some rocket attacks came from the top of Schools, using children as Human Shields, even though the children may have been the children of the PLO opposition. Instead the BBC depicts Israel as the initiator of the attacks rather than responding to and defending itself against rocket attacks.

      The BBC spent a quarter of a million pounds on resisting a freedom of information request for the names of environmental activists described by the BBC as “the best scientific experts”. The BBC failed.

      The BBC also spent thousands of pounds of licence payers money trying to block the release of the Balen Report. The BBC succeeded. So in this case we can only guess what the contents of the Balen Report state.

      The contents of the Balen Report probably state.

      (1) The BBC is an anti-Semitic organisation.
      (2) The BBC has 28 anti-Semitic left-wing and Islamic advisers who the BBC told me were “the best Middle-East experts“.
      (3) The BBC is inciting the population of Britain to hate Jews and Israel.
      (4) Because the BBC has a left-wing Liberal bias, it therefore reflects the anti-Semitic opinions of people within the Labour Party.

          Simple: The anti-Semitic National Socialists or Nazis regarded themselves as left-wing, but the BBC and the Labour Party brainwashed us into thinking that they were right-wing. But then the brainwashing fails because right-wing people would never call themselves Socialists. So like the Nazis, the Labour Party and the BBC are full of Socialists who hate Jews.

        Your mention of the KKK reminded me of when I was a 16yr old lad (mid 1950s), I was working on a building site. The concrete paths to each bungalow were being laid by a one man band – company?
        After laying each path “the company” would leave a sign reading – KEYPOFF! At the bottom of the sign was the letters KKK.
        When I asked the Company Chairman- while he was sweating his bollocks off mixing concrete – “what did the KKK stand for”? he , without hesitation, informed me that KKK stood for Kelly’s Konkrete Kompany. He had a distinct Irish accent. Thank you Mr Kelly, wherever you are. Memories are made of this.

    Looking once again at the BBC story about the Islamist teenager after reading the Daily Mail report…..the BBC misses out a crucial part…the judge’s own comments.

    The BBC tells us she is now a changed woman, no different to your average teenager and that it was the jury that [possibly unreasonably in the BBC’s eyes] condemned her….

    ‘By the time she appeared at her trial, Safaa Boular was a changed woman. While her mother and sister had appeared fully veiled at earlier hearings, the 18-year-old appeared no different to the average teenager. She told the jury that a year ago she had been isolated.
    The BBC understands that Safaa Boular has responded positively to de-radicalisation support – and some of her answers at trial suggested so.
    Throughout her case, Safaa’s defence was simple. She had been manipulated and used by a fighter, abused by her mother and misled by her troubled older sister. Unspoken, but hinted as, was a suggestion that she had been let down by investigators who could have extracted her earlier.

    But, that’s not what the jury saw. They saw a teenager who actively took steps to go to Syria to support a fighter, who admitted in messages she wanted to attack the UK and, when arrested, encouraged her sister and mother to carry on regardless.

    Safaa Boular said it was all make-believe – she had even played “James Bond”, taking a selfie of herself outside MI6’s headquarters.

    “It’s online – nothing online is real,” she told the jury.

    But they thought differently – and now she faces a substantial jail sentence.’

    The BBC miss out the judge’s comments…he doesn’t believe she is a changed woman at all and may still be an Islamist…

    Britain’s youngest female ISIS terrorist is jailed for life for plotting machine gun and grenade attack at London landmarks after judge rejects her claims she has been de-radicalised and is ‘no longer a Muslim’

    ‘Judge Mark Dennis QC questioned how much she had really changed her views and said she knew what she was doing when she plotted the attack.
    The judge said: ‘In my view there’s insufficient evidence to say at this stage this defendant is a truly transformed individual. Her views were deeply entrenched.

    ‘However much she may have been influenced and drawn into extremism, it appeared she knew what she was doing and acted with open eyes.’

    He pointed out that she still blamed the US for ISIS executions when questioned about them a month ago, and played a ‘leading role’ in the terror plans.’

    Remarkable that the BBC would miss out such strong comments..almost as if they want you to believe the woman was a victim and has now recovered from her ‘abuse’ and is now a normal, integrated member of society.

    In my 30 + deg heat driven stupor, moving around is not an option, and being thoroughly sick of listening to the loop of the news channels, I was channel hopping – finally landing on some obscure film on something called Movies 24. Up popped a familiar face – Meghan Markle. Dear Lord, Meryl Streep she aint and never would be. I never, nay, wanted to, watch Suits but apart from the ‘smile’, there were lots of ‘sighing’ and flicking of hair. Ten minutes was ample. My conclusion ? if the marriage goes belly up, she may have trouble going back to the day job.

    BBC withdraws educational film about immigration that claimed Britain was ‘multicultural long before curry and carnival’ after bias complaints

    ‘While we believe the film did convey the broad elements of the immigration debate, we accept further efforts could have been made to involve contributors with a more diverse range of opinions, so we removed the video.’

    Film contained claims that debate had fuelled ‘huge rise’ in far-Right support
    It was pulled from circulation after complaints that it broke impartiality rules
    It’s a blow to BBC’s efforts to deflect attacks on its reporting on immigration

    The radicalisation of Safaa Boular: A teenager’s journey to terror

    Another victim it seems ? the BBC machine works to deflect blame again, even after a life sentence handed down Tommy Robinson is never a victim ..only a perpetrator

    BBC report : April 2017 – five bangs rang out as heavily armed police fired CS gas into a suburban home. As the officers broke into the property in north-west London, a 21-year-old woman was shot.

    Screaming in pain and in anger, Rizlaine Boular was dragged to the street to receive first aid.

    “Don’t touch me, my body, don’t touch my dress,” witnesses heard her shout, as she wrestled feebly with the officers

    You’re not going to believe this but there’s a story that ticks both the immigrant and bent boxes, but the BBC aren’t covering it.

    Remember the delightful homo Shrien Dewani, (family got rich stuffing old people into their care homes) he ,allegedly, killed his bride, and bought himself a not guilty verdict somehow.

    https://www.thesouthafrican.com/remember-murder-accused-shrien-dewani-hes-back-with-boyfriend/

    Newlywed ends up dead

    ”While sightseeing in Gugulethu, in Cape Town, two armed men hijacked the vehicle the newlyweds were in. The driver was thrown from the vehicle, and Shrien Dewani soon followed him.

    The next day, Anni Dewani was found dead in the boot of the car – a single gunshot wound to her head.

    It could’ve just been a random act of violent crime, so often experienced in South Africa. But once the investigation got underway, the story became a lot more twisted.

    According to the taxi driver, and one of the men involved in the hijacking – it was all a setup, a ruse made to look like a random criminal act, when in fact Shrien Dewani had arranged for his wife to be killed.
    Shrien Dewani implicated in her murder

    After a convoluted legal battle which moved from South Africa to the United Kingdom and ended in 2014, Shrien Dewani was eventually acquitted of orchestrating the murder of his wife.

    Still, innocent in court does not relate to innocence in the eyes of the public. Many people believe that Shrien Dewani was in some way involved in his wife’s murder and that he managed to flout justice.
    Newfound love

    It’s eight years later, and Dewani is back in the spotlight – this time for his new romantic interest.

    It would appear the former murder-accused millionaire has found love again, after being spotted in public with his new boyfriend, Gledison Lopez Martins.”

    It must be after a passport for it’s new ‘boyfriend’, next year – so better make it public now to have it on record..

    Which says all you need to know about what the BBC thinks is a matter for controversy, for discussion. That Nick Carter sounded like a Common Purpose social worker, as opposed to military leader worried me. The BBC probably think that he`ll be just what Corbyn will be wanting come the glorious day.

    Historical note, not about the BBC.
    About the Pearl Harbour Attack.
    The FDR US Government, lefty traitors to a man, had a problem: their beloved USSR seemed to be crumbling when attacked by Germany. Further US problem, if the Japanese also attacked the USSR, the USSR would definitely collapse.

    The USA put a total oil embargo on Japan, this would have stopped Japanese industry.
    The proud Japanese chose to attack the mighty USA despite being greatly outnumbered, outgunned and already involved in other wars.
    Japan chose to make a surprise attack on Pearl Harbour, FDR and co were delighted as this gave them an excuse to enter the war, a war that FDR had assured the USA that their sons would not be sent to fight in. The reason FDR could be delighted was that the US was reading Japanese cryptograms.

    FDR kept secret this knowledge of the attack and c3000 US citizens were killed. FDR pretended this was a surprise, and made his “day of infamy” speech.

    A FDR placeman was sent to “investigate” the attack and reported that the fault lay with the Army and Naval Commanders, said officers were hung out to dry.

    Still rumours about US foreknowledge abounded and there were nine more subsequent inquiries into the attack.

    I am sure many BBBC readers know the story, please point out any errors above.

    Now the reason I am relating this nearly eighty year old story is that a great deal of time, money, work and lying was performed to prevent the truth about the Pearl Harbour Attack becoming known to the people.
    One oft performed, and successful, tactic, since most witnesses were in the US military, was to “transfer” potential witnesses. The investigator would travel half way round the earth to discover that the witness had been moved to another US base, rinse and repeat as necessary.

    This was brought back to me when listening to Tommy Robinson today. Exactly the same tactics were used to make it as difficult as possible for him to receive legal advice.

    It is difficult to not appear racist when I make a comment on the violent propensities of those we welcome into our country, maybe it is worth elevating the debate into a more philosophical nature, there are a few outstanding crimes in this country that caused GENIUNE horrror and now it seems day to day for example:
    A man who threw a seven-month-old baby and its mother out of a window has been jailed for life.

    Sean Ziemelis also gouged the boy’s eyes and strangled him after using cannabis, Luton Crown Court heard.

    The baby suffered superficial injuries after he was caught by a crowd which gathered underneath the window of the first floor flat in Luton on 1 August 2017.

    Ziemelis, 31, of Reginald Street, Luton, admitted attempted murder.

    He also pleaded guilty to causing actual bodily harm and common assault.

    Prosecutor James Lofthouse said Ziemelis had taken cannabis the previous night.
    ‘Dangled from window’

    At 02:00 BST on 1 August, the child’s mother found Ziemelis with his thumbs in the baby’s eyes. She screamed for help and he started to strangle the boy, the court heard.

    The 31-year-old then produced a knife and was hit with a piece of wood by the baby’s grandmother before throwing her across the room. The baby’s mother was punched until she fell in and out of consciousness.

    An extraordinarily blatant attempt was their series of films aimed specifically at school children that tried to demolish the idea of ‘Britishness’ claiming Britain had always been a happy patchwork of cultures with no particular national, cultural or ethnic identity.

    Clearly a lie. A lie they have been forced to withdraw…but don’t cheer too loud, the BBC like the Taliban have time on their side and of course is so massive and omnipresent they will slip this propaganda out in some shape or form sooner or later in some place or other.

    BBC withdraws educational film about immigration that claimed Britain was ‘multicultural long before curry and carnival’ after bias complaints

    ‘The BBC has withdrawn an educational film about immigration following complaints that it was biased.

    The film, aimed at GCSE pupils, contained claims that Britain was ‘multicultural long before curry and carnival’ and that debate over immigration had fuelled a ‘huge rise’ in support for far-Right politics.

    It was pulled from circulation and removed from YouTube after complaints that it broke impartiality rules.
    Among other assertions by contributors to the film, part of a series called Don’t Hate the Debate, was: ‘Multiculturalism is a powerful tool for survival and possibly the only way to survive, so let’s embrace it.’

    Another speaker suggested that ‘Britain had never been a nation of immigrants’.
    The film, produced by BBC Education and aimed at pupils aged 14 to 16, was posted online in May. It focused on discussions about immigration among four young people.

    One contributor said: ‘We were multicultural long before curry and carnival. It’s in our DNA.’

    Another said the debate around immigration had led to a ‘a huge rise in people going towards the EDL and Britain First and reinforcing those nationalistic values’.

    Critics of the BBC say it ignored public concern over high levels of immigration after Tony Blair’s government triggered a major rise in immigration 20 years ago. They claim it instead chose to prioritise material that suggested anyone worried about immigration was racist.’

    Let’s hear about endemic segregation, racism amongst the minorities, crime, sexual abuse, anti-semitism, fgm, terrorism, drugs and stabbings….let’s hear about the overcrowded schools, the housing crisis, the roads jam packed with cars, the NHS under huge pressure, the infrastructure bursting at the seams….water, power and transport…what ever happened to the BBC’s concern about the environment as we are supposed to concrete over Britain to house these people destroying not just the quality of life for Britons but the environment as well?

    Ah, it’s all OK, I can get a curry to enrich my culturally impoverished diet or a chocolate bar from the open all hours corner shop, or be inspired by imported culture….maybe I’ll put dreadlocks in my hair….oh, er….that’ll be just a little too much appreciation…or rather cultural appropriation….I guess that’s why Muslims don’t want to assimilate too much…they respect our culture and don’t want to be seen to be appropriating it…god bless ’em. It’s thin line to tread…not a thin red line of course…that’d smack just a bit too much of the great British Empire that brought so much cultural interaction and exciting diversity to the world!

      How insufferably patronizing that whole production was. I had to switch off because I couldn’t bear those four smug and smirking youths with their fashionable accents.
