Contrast & Compare (Episode #3942523567437 of The Hamas and Fateh good Cop/Bad Cop Show):
Hamas told to axe children’s show
Hamas TV refuses to axe contested kids cartoon
John Reith wrote this last night;
“Islam bans alcohol. As Muslims become a majority, pubs shut. The character of the district changes. But you don’t want that in the programme. “
As much as the BBC likes us all to think that Alcohol to Muslims is akin to sunlight to vampires. Both in reality are myths.
Muslims say they don’t drink, oh how they preach they don’t drink. But they do. Go to any nightclub on a Saturday night and the Indian looking guy has a drink in his hand. (and it isn’t Kaliber) The vast majority of Muslims reported on TV for doing something wrong are drunk.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/6379833.stm
The above story is about how a Muslim man murdered his family as they slept by setting fire to the house. Their crime they were too western for his liking. The thing is (and not reported by the BBC is he was drunk at the time)
The Muslims who crashed into the WTC in 2001 were out on the piss the night before.
The Muslims who stabbed to death a young lad in Peterborough a few years ago drunk
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2590539.stm
The Muslims who kicked a man to death in London in 2005-drunk
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4416988.stm
Another man kicked to death in London by Muslims who were drunk;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/4955240.stm
There are countless examples of Muslims caught drinking and driving in the Uk.
In fact the word Alcohol is an Islamic word. It was Muslims who perfected how to distil alcohol into something that was a lot safer than the moonshine that went before.
Arak that famous aniseed-flavoured distilled alcoholic drink is the root of every aniseed drink that can be found in the med region and where was it invented?
Islam central at the time (The Levant)
The reason why it is found all over the Med, is because Islam brought it along with them when they conquered the southern half of Europe.
When I was based in Cyprus, the Turks who worked on the Sovereign Base areas used to ask for us to sell them bottles of Whisky. (When I asked about their faith I used to receive the comment “We are modern Muslims”)
In fact if the Muslims are so pious as the BBC make out in their relationship with Alcohol can somebody please explain why every Muslim shop, restaurant and supermarket sells Booze.
I get the impression that the BBC doesn’t wish for us all to know that Muslims do drink alcohol. You only have to travel to Bahrain on a Thursday and watch the keepers of the faith knocking back the Johnny red and Johnny black on a Friday to see how hypercritic the followers of that faith can be in Islam central.
So Mr Teeth CAIR to inform me again about how Islam bans Alcohol?
Every day the BBC news says “the war still continues in Iraq” The Treacherous Left at the BBC criticise Bush and Blair for the Iraqi invasion to free the Iraqi people from a Murdering Dictator but fail to mention that the violence only continues in Iraq because Islamic Terrorists with the backing of Iran and Syria refuse to accept the democratic Government voted for by the people of Iraq..
“Our problem is not with the Jews,” Yehia Moussa, a Hamas leader in the movement’s Gaza Strip base, told The Associated Press.
“Our problem is with the (Israeli) occupation and the occupiers.”
Are you for real, so why does the girl in the video say at 1:14 “Yes, they are children [in paganstain] “occupied by the JEWS”
So why say jews if your problem is not with them?
The BBC’s Jim Muir goes off on one about the Iraq war and the neocon “New Order”. If only he’d written to Blair to warn him. If only Bush had told Saddam:
“Mr Hussein, you were right. There were no weapons of mass destruction, and no links with terrorism. We’d like to apologise, and give you your country back.”
No links with terrorism? Here’s a pre-war BBC news report from July 2002:
A pocket of militant Islamic extremists, believed to be linked to Osama Bin Laden’s al-Qaeda movement, is causing havoc in the Kurdish area of northern Iraq.
The presence of the violently anti-American group, known as the Ansar al-Islam (Partisans of Islam), is likely to attract increasing attention as US moves to overthrow Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi regime gather pace…
Exactly who is involved with the Ansar and in what way is not clear.
The PUK leader, Jalal Talabani, says the one certain thing is that they had ties with al-Qaeda and Afghanistan:
“Many of them were trained there, and there are now about 20 to 30 Arabs who are trained from Afghanistan and who also came here to Kurdistan, and are now with them. Even their leaders are from these Arabs.”
One of those leaders is Abu Wa’il, a former Iraqi army officer.
A captured Iraqi intelligence officer of 20 years’ standing, Abu Iman al-Baghdadi, who is held by the PUK, said Abu Wa’il is actively manipulating the Ansar on behalf of Iraqi intelligence.
And who wrote that piece? Step forward Jim Muir.
David Gregory (BBC): Thanks
So why say jews if your problem is not with them?
truth will out | 10.05.07 – 6:48 pm
Because they lie.
See The Hamas Charter:
http://www.mideastweb.org/hamas.htm
For example:
Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. (Preamble)
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).” (article 7)
“But the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians, until thou follow their religion; say, The direction of Allah is the true direction. And verily if thou follow their desires, after the knowledge which hath been given thee, thou shalt find no patron or protector against Allah.” (The Cow – verse 120). (article 13)
Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. “May the cowards never sleep.” (article 28 )
”
I have to pinch myself that I am listening to this rubbish. This speech demeans Blair. His constant craving for approval is stomach churning. “I did what I thought was right” he has said – twice. He sounds as if he is facing a war crimes tribunal rather than making a resignation statement. It was actually very American in tone – very emotional. Very unbritish, if you like. His final line amounted to a mea culpa. Indeed, he apologised for the things he got wrong. There’s a first.”
http://www.iaindale.blogspot.com/
I think I would agree – but I have always found Blairs speeches stomach churning.
Jon writes:
“I think I would agree – but I have always found Blairs speeches stomach churning.”
Indeed, probably the most hateful PM in living memory (and with Ted Heath as a rival, that’s some contest).
Almost as stomach churning, meanwhile, has been the bilge pumped out by BBC newsrooms all day. Radio 4’s Home Affairs correspondent (whose name escapes me, I’m happy to say) was particularly gushing this evening and summed-up Bliar’s critics as being those ‘who did not think he went far enough’.
Curious, that. I, along with many others, would criticise Bliar primarily for having presided over some of the most disastrous changes ever to befall British society and the British constitution.
Still, I imagine we don’t much count in the eyes of a BBC radio home correspondent.
Stone me! Pounds and ounces are saved
“Perhaps the BBC, always the shock troops of cultural offensiveness, might end its odious practice of talking about rain in millimetres and snow in centimetres, given what is now clearly the public mood on such matters.
And whichever party now has the guts to offer to repeal the 1967 Decimal Currency Act if it gains power will definitely have my vote.”

GCooper says: “Curious, that. I, along with many others, would criticise Bliar primarily for having presided over some of the most disastrous changes ever to befall British society and the British constitution.”
I agree 100% – the key phrase here is “presided over” – thats exactly what he has done – he has not “governed” he gave that role to quangos, civil servants and (left-wing) pressure groups.

“Our responsibility is to remain impartial and report in ways that enable our audiences to make their own assessments about who is doing what to whom.”
Made me laugh, the bbc is not impartial.
No surprise that Johnston has probably been given the award more for his status as martry/hostage than for the quality of his reporting. I’d bet the decision was made after his abduction.
Biodegradable | 10.05.07 – 6:07 pm
That’s for sure Bio. Wasn’t he about to be consigned back to a desk job in the World Service? I think that reveals a lot about what al beeb thought of him before his abduction.
Bosnia fighters face uncertain fate
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6642353.stm
when the link is opened, the first photograph in the article is a Muslim woman praying. I wonder whether she is a Bosnia fighter.
This is not unusual, BBC is regluarly doing this sort of thing. Any muslim terrorist related article shows atleast 1 photo with women/men praying in a mosque.
I think the motive behind it is to
1. evoke sympathy from British – (The muslim terrorists are not terrorists; they are devout people who pray in mosques).
2. to evoke anger from the British muslims and global muslims .
The BBC’s coverage of Blair’s resignation speech yesterday lunchtime as presented by Andrew Neil had a panel of Hazel Blears, Bob Marshall-Andrews and Liam Byrne as commentators. Nice to see they invited such a balanced panel onto the programme.
Anonanon | 10.05.07 – 7:15 pm
That is just incredible. Jim Muir is pushing propaganda so hard for his Islamic masters that he has forgotten that he actually wrote the truth about them a few years ago.
This definitely deserves journalism’s Dhimmi of the Year award.
Dermott | 11.05.07 – 7:10 am,
As always, the BBC’s sympathies are with the more radical Muslims, even when reporting on a Muslim vs Muslim dispute.
The rot within the BBC is almost complete.

Stomach Churning
The “Reunion” programme on the Brighton bombing is vomit-inducing. Sue Magregor presides over this “understand” fest.
My betting is that, away from the BBC newsrooms and north London dinner parties, most ordinary people would like to see the McGee swing, and imagine there would be quite a queue to pull the lever for the trapdoor.
Blair squandered every advantage and goodwill that came his way:
Never has a prime minister had such a great opportunity as Tony Blair, and never has a prime minister failed so badly.
My guess is that historians will ultimately agree that Tony Blair ranks alongside Anthony Eden as the worst prime minister of the past 100 years.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=454039&in_page_id=1770
From the above link to the daily mail:
“More than 600,000 people have died as a direct or indirect consequence of the American and British decision to depose Saddam Hussein.”
If Peter Oborne is prepared to believe that, it shows that even supposedly ‘right-wing’ journos believe the BBC’s BS.
more piss poor crap from oborne. everything is dreadful, worst ever, disgrace, shambles, catastrophe blahblahblah
why is the popular british media so pathetically simple? why don’t we have mainstream media with a bit of intelligence? why doesn’t the market provide this? and more importantly in the absence of a market solution why don’t the BBC stop banging on about f***ing climate change and half arsed pc bobbins and provide it
Fascinating stuff:
The World Service calls a murdered Nigerian Muslim cleric a militant and his followers are angry. So they complain to Over to You and the BBC ties itself into knots trying to explain what it meant by militant, even, gasp, looking up the dictionary definition of the term. And, surprise, surprise, the spokeswoman defending the World Service manages to go through her explanatory contortions without once mentioning the word terrorist.
She says that militant is open to different interpretations. Quite. But nowhere near as “different” as the (mis)interpretation and spin the BBC puts on the word.
And as the BBC keeps widening the definition of militant to include psychotic mass-murdering terrorists, confusion can only increase:

Refreshing honesty or what?

And John Reith still pretends the BBC isn’t biased?
At this rate, he’s the front runner for the Comical Ali Memorial award 2007.
Its a bit like the argument that a premiership footballer gets 100,000 per week and you unthinkingly don’t realise how much that is till someone points out that is over 5 miilion pounds per year!
If Oborne and the IBC are to be believed then 400 people have died every day without exception for over 4 years.
When you realise the level of the ridiculous claim you know that the Mail should know better than to take the IBC’s word for it.
The IBC’s “muslims in Europe”.
On its ‘news’ site.
Has been a permanent fixture for a year at least.
Perhaps the biggest ongoing disgrace of all of their reporting.

When do “militants” become “security personnel” which then turn into “soldiers”?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6645929.stm
Hundreds of troops, some loyal to rival factions Hamas and Fatah, fanned out on the streets of Gaza on Thursday.
…
On Friday, a number of Palestinians, including civilians and security officers from forces controlled by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, were wounded in shootouts in Gaza City.
A further two civilians were hurt when militants from the armed wing of Hamas opened fire in the Jabaliya refugee camp north of Gaza City, the AFP news agency reported.
Photo caption reads: Soldiers from both main rival factions have deployed in Gaza
All those men with guns and uniforms… confusing, isn’t it, BBC?
BioD
If Johnston hadn’t been “captured” in Gaza, I’m sure the BBC’s confusion between “troops”, “security officers”, “militants” and “soldiers” would not have arisen. After all, aren’t they just “freedom fighters” [1] in the great Palestinian cause?
[1] curiously the BBC seems not to have used this expression to describe this swill – but, rest assured, it will.
I’d like to hear it, Bob Marshall-Andrews is quite a wag.

It was The Daily Politics on BBC2
BMA certainly detests Tony Blair – no Tory could have been more scathing that he was.
And as for champagne bottles at the Blair/Brown Corporation – I’ve just watched the end of Brown’s press conference to launch his (so-called) ‘leadership campaign’ – and what a hard fought contest that will be. I know this is the British press as a whole and not just auntie – but the press were behaving more like teenage fans than the Rottweilers they’re creacked up to be. Far from holding Brown to account, they were giving him rounds of applause for cheap shots at the Tories – e.g. “why should there be a quick election? – I didn’t notice the Tories calling for an election when John Major came to power” – laughter, cheers, applause. I mean you’d think he’d said something brilliant, not a familiar old line. At the end they gave him a standing ovation. They certainly never did that for Michael Howard or David Cameron. Press bias – what bias?
OK apparently there were “enthusiastic supporters” there as well. I thought it was just a press conference

Whilst you are generally right, but I’m afraid call me dave opened himself up to this one poodling along behind mercy me he’s minging.

I hope the opposition will do better than that first year student union type move or brownstuff & co will also be laughing all the way 🙁
I think you’re too hard on Cameron Baggie – an awful lot of British people think there should be an election – even if, technically, there’s no requirement for one.

Thanks Oscar. I was a little to late to catch it, they’re streaming today’s show now 🙁
I’ve run into BMA several times at a certain pub in Pembrokeshire. Although we differ on many things and he’s the epitomy of the “Chardonnay Socialist” he’s a hugely amusing bloke to have a drink with.
“I keep a video of Tony Blair reading Corinthians at Diana’s funeral and threaten to show it to anyone who is impressed by the PM’s sincerity.”

Oscar | 11.05.07 – 1:55 pm
I have seen him literally legless – Chardonnay and not Champagne, the bubbly doesn’t agree with him. I loved the way he conceded defeat in the last elections only to win by a hair’s breadth – and that after famously telling one of his constituents that he didn’t want his vote, that he absoulutely forbade him from voting for him.
He’s not afraid of making a fool of himself either:
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/gallery/image/0,9353,-10904855058,00.html
A taste of his public speaking – note the bottle within easy reach:
I cannot understand the ridiculous amount of coverage Gordon Brown’s leadership campaign is getting (and Sky are just as guilty on this occasion).
1. He faces no serious opposition whatsoever.
2. The general public, whom the media would normally argue they are trying to inform, have absolutely no say in the matter.
I don’t know if this is the right place to put this link but I am seething so it’ll do for now.
Have a look at the BBC’s “reaction in quotes” to the departure of Blair.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6641689.stm
Now tell me, from that list who might be construed as being right-wing. With the questionable exception of David Cameron, EVERY SINGLE ONE of these people is a leftie of some stripe or other.
This is a disgrace. It perfectly illustrates how the BBC don’t mind criticising labour policies or politicians – but only so long as these come from the left.
Scum. Shameless scum.
Oscar
Perhaps not harsh enough.
I don’t think he would have said it all if minging had not said it first – this is NOT a man to follow.
We all know there is no way an election would happen with labour so far behind in the polls.
We do not elect prime ministers only our MP’s (though you could argue we should as countries like France and the US elect their political leader seperately).
And it may be old but the fact is there was no complaining call from the tories when Thatcher was replaced by Major despite her promise to go on and on.
Do as I say but not as I do will not do.
Neither will gesture politics.
Brownstuff needs opposing.
In my opinion the Tories should be 20 to 30 points ahead in the polls at the moment.
Labour were consistenly way ahead in the polls before their general election triumph in 1997, whereas they had bigger leads than the tories have now and lost in 87 and 92.
Call me dave’s attempt to mimic Blair just when everyone is turning against the new labour project is diastrous.
Even if he does get in with a small majority next time I have next to no faith that dave, george and the rest will actually change anything for the better.
John Backhouse
Fear not JB, when was it not so?
Thatcher was know by the BBC in the seventies as “Thatcher the milk snatcher.”
However the BBC was so interested at the time in socialism and their close buddies in the Trades Union movement, they took their eyes of the Ball and their worst nightmare lasted 18 years very long years.
It helped Thatcher being a women, as the BBC did not want to come over as sexists. David Cameron is playing the only game in town and WINNING at it, big style.
It will not be long now, all the BBC socialist propagander in the world, and there is much of it, will not save the Labour party from itself or the anger and retribution of the impoverished electorate. It will only make Labours defeat all the more shocking and terminal when it DOES happens.
Incase it has slipped you by, which if you have been watching the BBC too much lately it very well might have done. There was an REAL election last week that returned 915 odd, new Tory local government seats. The Conservative party now has more seats then all the other parties put together.
The BBC is left looking up its own naval again. Which is more then good news.
There is a new show coming up on the BBC featuring their “star” reporter John Sweeney and documents the shabby work he does to produce his “investigative stories”. A first glimpse is here:
http://www.ifilm.com/video/2853447
but did you also know that there are “morons” working in the BBC? Check here:
I am wondering WHEN the BBC with its impartial reporting and in depth investigative abilities will start asking why is it that EVERY time something went wrong for the Government Brown was never anywhere to be seen? I don’t think Brown has the balls to take hard decisions face on but always sneaks around and gets others to do his dirty work.
Please elect him Mr and Mrs/Mizz Labour Party members etc – we would love to get our revenge on the bugger for all the taxes he has stolen and the money he has wasted over the last ten years at the next General Election!
Heres a clip from Five Live (recorded yesterday), of Jane Garvey admitting the BBC’s champagne celebrations when Labour won the election in ’97. (As you can tell, she clearly regretted the Freudian slip, digging herself deeper as she carries on)

BBC – neutral and impartial – it’s what we do.
Oborne may have been writing for the Daily Mail this time, but the attitude which drives him to publish such propaganda (for that’s what it is) has been formed by his association with The Spectator. Over the last three or four years, the editors and several regular contributors have descended into full-blown Blair Derangement Syndrome. Can’t say as I blame them much, but this anger tends to overwhelm reason sometimes, and it gets projected onto just about everything, including Bush and Iraq. Once the cause becomes more important than the facts on the ground, self-righteous anger can make one capable of anything.
Since anything Blair is associated with becomes evil, anything positive to which he may have contributed becomes suspect. It follows that the general position on various topics has shifted to a position opposite Blair, no matter what. The Bush Derangement by Assocation has abated somewhat since Boris “Golden Boy” Johnson left the helm to become Shadow Minister for Drinks Parties in Notting Hill Gate Where We Discuss the Arts for Five Minutes. But much of the damage has already been done.
Talk about biased BBC! Check out this clip on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqR5NPhtLI
and see how BBC’s John Sweeney deals with his interviewees. Doesn’t say much for the Panorama show!
Hi chaps. Long time no speak.
The references to the awful thick-as-shit BBC-Guardian hack John Sweeney have finally pulled me from my slumbers. Cue extract from my wonderful book “Trial by Conspiracy: the lies, cover-ups and injustices of the Neil Hamilton affair.”
(Scene: The Westminster Arms, Westminster, London, November 1997.)
————–
All the time we were talking I was thinking about John Sweeney on the other side of the restaurant. I was very keen to talk to him about the case. I suspected that he had only taken his ferociously anti-Hamilton stance simply because he was a passionate person who didn’t know what he was talking about. Eventually he came by us on his way to the Gents, so I asked if he could spare us a few minutes. I was encouraged that he seemed quite willing to talk to us. …
“Look, John.” I laid my metaphorical cards face up before him. “We would really like to get someone like you, who is known to be a critic of Hamilton, on our side. When can we meet up so that we can put the facts to you properly?”
“I really don’t have that kind of time …” he started to protest. … “All right then,” I said, backing off. “Humour me, will you? Tell me — how many times did Neil Hamilton speak from the Floor of the House on behalf of Fayed, do you think?”
He looked confused and I knew I had him. “I can’t remember exactly …”
“Remember roughly then. How many oral questions did he ask, for example?”
“Off the top of my head I can’t remember the exact number …” He was stalling; he didn’t really have a clue.
“It was nil,” I snapped. “You couldn’t forget nil, John. You can’t confuse nil with anything else. Nil is just about the easiest figure to remember.”
Aware that he had betrayed his ignorance of the case, he became embarrassed. “Can you keep that off the record?” he said, in a pleading voice.
“Of course,” I replied. “We’re not Guardian journalists.” But, on second thoughts, I decided that we needed every bit of ammunition we could get. This man had manically pursued Neil Hamilton in the General Election and claimed to know all about him, and even written a book implying he was a fascist. Yet here he was, not even able to say how many questions Neil put down in the ‘cash for questions’ affair. That’s akin to an authority on the ‘Dambusters’ not knowing that their job was all about busting dams.
————–
Like so much of the people employed by our wonderfully impartial BBC, the Beeb enlists Sweeney to front its programmes because he’s a solid trouper who can be relied on to promulgate the leftist cause.
