President Trump is right….there needs to be new thinking.
The BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet around 49 seconds into this video.
It can’t be a fact because I can just as easily say, “we shouldn’t change our thinking” and there’s no way to verify the truth of either statement. But I thought the BBC didn’t offer opinions?
The BBC live blog on the Jerusalem story is currently being run by Becky Branford (who is a revolutionary marxist) and Mal Siret.
Yes, that’s the same Becky Branford who opposed Israeli plans in East Jerusalem, and the same Mal Siret who celebrated as “a stunning victory” the news that Jeremy Corbyn supported the Palestinian right of return.
Two completely biased Pro-Palestine/Anti-Israel reporters. Typical of the BBC.
Edit: Now they are also posting updates from Suzanne Kianpour who writes from Washington.
That’d be this Suzanne Kianpour.

BBC News itself is impartial and does not offer opinions
How then can they have an article which is entitled Prime Minister’s Questions: The verdict, featuring videos of BBC presenters giving their opinions verdicts?

Perhaps Oxford need to update their thesaurus, because it wrongly claims that ‘verdict’ is a synonym of ‘opinion’.
I’m thoroughly disgusted that the BBC’s idea of education and entertainment almost always includes an underlying political element.
The latest attempt is Invasion! with Sam Willis which combats “the idea that we Britons are somehow unique”; they barely try to hide the support for mass immigration here. The argument is basically: “Britain historically had a lot of immigration, so you shouldn’t oppose further immigration” which is about as valid an argument as, “you used to wear a nappy, so you shouldn’t oppose wearing one now”.
According to Willis, claiming that we are “somehow unique” is a “myth” spread by people like Churchill, who claimed that we are an “island race”. Perhaps he should read Churchill’s ‘Birth of Britain’, because Churchill never supported such a silly myth, and I seriously doubt that anyone ever did. It’s obvious to anyone that we have a lot in common with people in many other places, in many important ways. That isn’t incompatible with a national identity. Willis’ myth itself is a myth, invented to mock people who oppose mass immigration. All the old history books speak at length about Roman, Norman, Celtic, Neolithic, Anglo-Saxon, and Viking invasions. In some cases they even over-emphasise the impact of these events, the exact opposite of the “myth” the stupid British racist public are supposed to believe.
Churchill on the Bronze Age
Britain…as a whole was a backward country by comparison with the
Continent; primitive in its civilisation, stagnant and passive in its life, and
receiving most of what progress it enjoyed through invasion and importation
from overseas.
Bamboozled by Brexit? Don’t worry, remainer Sofia Bettiza will “explain”. The video largely consists of people negatively affected by Brexit though, and doesn’t have time to explain much. Is she biased? Yes: Sofia Bettiza – “Britain, please don’t Vote Leave!”
President Donald Trump has dramatically scaled back two public outdoor parks, or national monuments, in Utah. The policy is likely to provoke lawsuits from Native American tribes and environmental groups. But it will be welcomed by ranchers and business interests who view such monuments as federal land grabs.
Now guess the headline:
1. Anger as Trump shrinks Utah Monuments
2. Trump’s shrinking of Utah Monuments is welcomed
3. Mixed reaction as Trump shrinks Utah Monuments
You don’t need me to tell you the answer. I think if everyone in America supported Trump’s decision except one person, they’d still go with headline 1 and highlight that person’s views.

Edit: Never mind, they have deleted it. Must not have been left wing enough.
They have this linked at the bottom of every news article now:
Learn how the BBC is working to strengthen trust and transparency in online news
They claim to be trusted and yet have to tell us that we should trust them. What a laugh! Usually I would dispute their claims but the entire Biased BBC blog already shows how often they can’t be trusted. For a change let’s look at how they are completely incompetent rather than just biased.
1. They claim to provide “high-quality” output, yet this has a basic spelling mistake: “We will consider all the relevant facts fairly and with and open mind.”
2. If you click on ‘BBC News Services’ either above or below the title, it leads you to this page which currently displays a 404 error.
3. The page includes the ‘Why you can trust BBC News’ link at the bottom, so if you click on it, it just loops back to the page you are already on. See here for more information about that.
Supermarkets ‘raise the price of Christmas biscuits’
Of course, as you already know, Brexit is to blame.
There has been a trend this year of rising food prices, driven by the weakness of the pound which makes imported food more expensive.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Brexiteers engineered this all along. Every time you try to eat a biscuit after we declare war on the EU by leaving it in March 2019, a racist white van man will punch you in the face and shout “NO TO FOREIGN NAMED SNACKS! DON’T YOU KNOW THAT BISCUIT MEANS ‘TWICE-COOKED’ IN FRENCH? YOU TRAITOR TO THE NATION” before robbing your GP of £350m.
But wait a minute…
The report says that a steep rise in butter prices is partly to blame.
What they aren’t telling you is that this is a problem that has developed in the EU, a result of EU interference in the production of butter.
The BBC quickly changed a blatantly incorrect headline which revealed their warped view of the world. Here’s the original headline:
It now reads: “Trump account retweets incendiary videos.” The reason for this is that the videos most certainly were not anti-muslim videos, and didn’t criticise Islam or muslims in any sense. According to the BBC mindset, simply showing a muslim doing something bad is ISLAMOPHOBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beating up a disabled boy is of course not as bad as retweeting a video of it, which is the real hate crime here. Met police should arrest Trump ASAP. It’s okay for the BBC to draw attention to the videos though, because it’s only bad when Trump does it.
