    Unbelievable. Four dead French Jews not yet even buried, murdered in Paris by a French muslim and this BBC jerk dares to say to this women that the Palestinians suffer at Jewish hands! As if all Jews everywhere in the world should expect to be the targets of such attacks because they are Jewish.

      When you compare it to their insistence that all Muslim violence is not related to Islam then it is indeed jaw-dropping hypocrisy.

      How can they complain about blaming all Muslims and then blame all Jews? Astonishing.

    Complaint submitted:

    “The deliberate conflation of Middle East affairs with the loss of innocent lives of French Jews in Paris is a shockingly bad example of reporting, imputing a false sense of guilt for something that is neither related nor relevant to the grief, loss, anger, and mourning felt in the aftermath of the events last week in Paris at the Hyper Cacher supermarket. It is insensitive at best of the BBC to interview a native French Jew and conflate Middle East events, and downright subversive at worst, misleading the audience into thinking there is a connection between the loss of Jewish lives in France and the geopolitical troubles of the Middle East, whereas the merest mention of the real problem – jihad, Islamism, or the deliberate targeting of Jews – goes unmade. It is an outrageous travesty of duty and a deliberate attempt to misrepresent events by forcing the inclusion of an anti-Semitic narrative that has no place whatsoever in this discussion, once again making political points at the expense of real victims.”

    I in no way suggest the following statement is perhaps the only way left to ensure our survival, but I offer it up anyway:

    The political and media class working for the extinction of the West (which includes both Israel and us) have total control. They fear nothing. We are fighting the system today in order to ensure peace and normality for our children and grandchildren tomorrow. If we feel we can make no headway in this vitally important battle via words and reason, then others will replace words and reason with murder and terror.

    The stakes are too high for any other option. The BBC state they will not mock/criticise Islam because they fear Islam. The BBC needs to fear the wrath of the otherwise tolerant British. By any means.

        Do you really think so? We are in a demographic race against time. There will come a point very soon where a line representing our democratic ability to change the future will be crossed by a line representing Just Too Many Muslims.

        Although this point is still some years away, we are also some years away from accepting the reality of our situation.

        As I say, it is a race against time. And no current viable political party is in the race. Reality is reality – as future historians will note. Possibly in Urdu.

        There are actually some quite funny ones on a recent post that their ‘team’ has made it the Golden Globes.

        Dez, I assume you are referencing the site Bare Naked Islam (BNI)? I don’t support such statements and I am uncomfortable with the many videos and photos they post of the many MANY beheadings carried out by the religion of peace.

        However, BNI is on the ball with its reporting on hundreds of stories which are very important but which fail to make their way into the British media.

        I suppose the brutality of some of their readers is a logical result of being exposed to the brutality of Islam depicted every day on their site.

        We will all be brutal when conflict starts in 2025-2030. It would be nice if this could be avoided of course and one way it could be avoided is if everyone in the West was actually aware of the brutality of Islam (as are the BNI readers) and pressured our politicians into peacefully doing something about it today. Before it is too late.

        It won’t happen of course. As we have done so many times before we will deny, smear and appease until a much larger threat tries to defeat us.

    I feel disgusted with the way Wilcox has used the deaths of Jews in Paris to make a cheap and inappropriate comment about Israel, not to mention about Jews in general. The non-stop traducement of Israel now appears to be de rigueur amongst many BBC reporters. Are they trying to create the illusion amongst the general population that militant Islam and terrorism would magically disappear if only Israel would as well?

    I don’t see what’s wrong with what he said.

    Storm in a tea cup.

    Bradford’s an Israel free zone, as Paris soon will be. So don’t express your views there. If you do, don’t blame the locals if they implement the local (Sharia) law and execute your ass. The precedent has now been set in France you see.

    French law? Non. Sharia law – Oui. Those are the facts so deal with them. The french won’t uphold western (or Weston) values, our british values embrace Islam, as we are tolerent – The Germans would call us Uber-tolerent. We will look to tweek a few more laws at the edges to curtail expression of unwanted opinions (unless you are a muslim) so that everyone can feel secure in the knowledge that all will be equally restrained in what they can or can not say. Except muslims of course, who can say, and do, what they want.

    The BBC are doing sterling work in laying the foundations for a much more peaceful Britain where the jews will be a record in our history books and Islam will be the national religion.

    Our schools are also doing excellent work in ensuring that young people are developing a censorsorial attitude with their penchant for mob rule and their aversion to engaging in rational debate in favour of name calling. Look what happened with the convicted rapist Ched Evans – I am so pround of our media savvy youth for making that guy’s life a continuing hell. Play the man, not the ball. Excellent philosophy!

    Your freedoms will be protected as we see fit. Don’t worry. We’re in control in government and will ensure the sensibilities of certain minorities will be protected over and above the natural rights of you so called ‘indigenous’ English.

    The people of England need to Get with the program. The islamification of England is inevitable.

    I also was disgusted at Willcox’s remarks on BBC yesterday. Not only was he attempting to blame Jewish AND French foreign policy, he bullied a young French girl quite badly. He was trying to get her to admit it was the Fault of the French. At one point in his interviews about 17;10 he pointedly asked “don’t you think the French are Racist”
    He is a disgrace and should be prosecuted.

    HEADLINE NEWS: Martha Kearney agrees that British Jihadist fighting for Islamic State can best be seen as football hooligans! Just heard at 13.20 from some politician, Conservative, I think. He was understanding that many R4 listeners would like to “throw away the key” for returning Jihadists. However, he said that it was better to see them as “football hooligans” most of whom, in his opinion, are not interested in religion. Martha Kearney responded, “Sure”, agreeing approvingly with this grotesque analogy. Don’t recollect football fans with AK47s or RPGs killing and raping. Correct me if I’m wrong. This is the Institutional Cultural mindset at work in the BBC where the need to avoid what is plain sight leads you into desperate attempts to explain, justify, etc.

        He made the comment on mainstream TV news – he ‘tweets’ some form of apology to his followers (i.e. those who most probably aren’t at all fazed by his comments). Balanced response from the BBC, then, eh ?

        But hold on a second… he made the comment as a BBC employee, which makes the BBC accountable, but then tweets something – which the BBC constantly tries to remind us is a personal opinion zone, and not the voice of the BBC….

        So how come defenders are trumpeting that he has apologised, and so the matter should rest there ? The BBC has a duty to get this A-hole on the air in the middle of a prime-time news broadcast to publicly, with no ‘weasel words’ (he has form in this arena), grovel and apologise for his racist remarks (to use the left’s definition of a race).

      My main target from your list is Michael Rosen not because he is Jewish, but because he is an unrepentant, vicious Trotskyist who cheered the death of a thrice-elected Prime Minister not long ago, and who contributes to the SWP’s toxic rag.

Mark am glad to hear you never supported those nasty little bigots and also I disliked the way Mrs Thatcher was vilified by the press and those who rode on her skirts then they dropped her only to fain remorse when she was dead. As for the so-called comedian turned defender of the poor Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross his idiot of a co presenter they should have been sacked and banned from the BBC not because Andrew Sachs is a Jew but because it was a degrading attack to whoever was on the receiving end of their supposed jokes and japes. Will Self is like many people through out history who have changed the religion they where born with or have not openly wanted to be associated with it only to come back to whatever religion when they where older and wiser Bob Dylan springs to mind so hope yet for Will. I would like to point out I am not here to stir to pot but have an open discussion about the BBC and how I see the situation. The BBC has many people working for it that have opposing views to those registered on this site and many who who will applauded the views of this site for this I say thank God because it means we have a FREE and Fair society we have the right to shout scream and hiss and point fingers at each other with out fear and long may it stay this way I hope you all agree.
