I was reading this report on the BBC NI portal and it sickens me insofar as the way in which it is written tries to portray the police as villains when in fact all they are seeking to do is to apprehend the brutal killers of Police Constable Carroll, murdered by the “I can’t believe it’s the IRA” last week. Alex Maskey, a convicted bank robber and senior Sinn Fein spokesman (What could be more normal than that?) is allowed to pontificate about the wrongness of the police investigation and then one of the myriad pro-Republican human rights parasites in the shape of Mike Ritchie from the Campaign Against Justice, (as I like to call them) weighs in to support the Maskey line. The BBC cannot seem to find any other politicians who support the decision by the police to question these alleged republican killers for seven days. Maybe they could try and look just a little harder, I am certain they are out there.
NEVER MIND THE MURDERED – FEEL THE MURDERERS PAIN

I don’t understand the story. Is detention beyond 7 days still specific to NI or is Sinn Fein’s policy that the maximum period be reduced across the UK.
I don’t agree the story is particularly biased except by omission of a counter-argument, it’s a politician expressing a reasonable viewpoint, its just abysmally uninformative.
Its all part and parcel of the BBC corporate love affair with murderers/perverts/terrorists/
torturers/mindless killers, is there a psychopathic terrorist in the world that the BBC doesnt love?
The so called ‘peace process’ was always a ‘buy off’ proccess, the terrorists were bought off instead of being eradicated, these so called sin fein partners in government are still wedded to the whole idea of the ballot box and the armalite, these ‘splinter groups’ are in fact being used by the ‘new partners’ to strong arm ever more concessions and executive power, look they cry, give us more of what we want or the radical elements will get enraged and go on a killing spree!
Its an old ‘bite and hold and ratchet’ trick, the Islamists are expert at it, the political/criminal gangs that prospered during the troubles are not going to just give up and become law abiding citizens are they? These killings are a warning shot to the PSNI to back off and stick to providing what was agreed at Stormont, a thin useless gloss of law enforcement(equivolent to the cardboard cutout coppers in England)that leaves the /political/criminal gangs to continue their lucrative business!
The British could have exterminated the IRA root and branch, deporting the remainder of sympathisers to the southwhre they would be far happier with a fistfull of cash for their trouble of cash to help them resettle. The British army had the PIRA in their sights and could have crushed them BUT this is the British governent we are talking about! they would far rather buy off the terrorists than destroy them, hence we have a fake peace that will last only as long as the buy off cash keeps coming.
The tragedy is as old as the British empire, betray your friends and buy off your enemies.
The BBC has been a staunch supporter of the IRA throughout and gives a very soft ride, to put it mildly, to terrorists worldwide.
It is part of their twisted, perverted mentality.
Now we all know that the BBC is pro terrorists, however, the BBC is seen by many terrorist organisations as being part of the ‘Establishment’.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if one blew up Broadcasting House?
ae1,
I would laugh and cheer, and celebrate with champagne if the whackos managed to pull it off!
There is an old Arab saying…. its far better to be an enemy of the British, if you are a friend they will sell you and if you are an enemy they will buy you!

“if you are a friend they will sell you and if you are an enemy they will buy you!”
True: but when that saying was current the British powers-that-be always acted in the interests of Britain. Today, the default position of the BBC and the chatterati (as exemplified, for instance, by the FCO) is always to sell us out and sacrifice our interests to the welfare of our enemies or “new” Britons or, particularly, newly respectable murderers from N Ireland who hate this country.
Cockney, that is the skill of BBC propaganda. In many ways the story looks like repotage (all be it without a rebuttal), however those of us who live in Northern Ireland know that BBC NI will rush to give prominence to any pro-IRA / Republican complaint without question, but will sideline other shades of opinion.
Typically if Sinn Fein make a statement the headline story will run with their point to the fore and rebuttal (if mentioned at all) buried well down the page.
If a Unionist party makes a statement the headline and thrust of the story will be related to the Republican / nationalist rebuttal.
Umbongo,
Point taken my learned friend.
Mr Maskey said it was crucial the police showed a “willingness to uphold the highest standard of human rights”.
Good grief!!
Now it might look as thogh the BBC and lefty liberals are always on the side of the oppressed misunderstood criminals and terroists who never lie and are setup by the police, courts and then tortured, but they know some are more criminal than others. Males for example should be locked up for rape on the allegation of a wimmin, and racists on the denunciation of anyone ethnic.
I don’t know if this has been posted elsewhere but it seems the b**b are more than happy for their “comedians” to refer to the IRA as “80’s celebrities” .

I don’t blame Michael Jackson for being insulted by that unfunny jibe comparing him with the IRA. Just another throwaway stupid comment by the BBC’s non-comedians.
