    More BBC bollocks. Some beeboid interviewing some dopey bird about 6 Music. Since when is it the job of the BBC to promote new music artists? Why doesn’t the music industry offer to contribute to the cost of running Radio 6?

    Why can’t these wet liberals who earn millions ever put their money where their mouth is?

    Nick Robinson is STILL on about Michael Ashcroft on Today this morning. Apparently his crime is that he agreed to take up permanent residence in the UK as part of his agreement on receiving his peerage. But as he is still a non-dom he isn’t a full UK taxpayer and hasn’t fulfilled his agreement.

    No! No! No! (as someone once said). As an accountant I can advise Mr Robinson that there is a difference in tax law between domicile and residence. You can be full-time UK resident and still not have UK domicile for tax purposes. You cannot acquire UK domicile without giving up your previous domicile and this would not be possible as long as he has significant business interests in his existing domicile of Belize. I would presume the committee agreeing to these undertakings would be well aware of this, hence the reason they used this phrasing.

    The only way Michael Ashcroft could give up his Belize domicile would be to give up his Belize business. Is it the contention that no donor to UK parties should have foreign business interests?

    That said, the Tories really should have made his position clear years ago. As long as there was some secrecy there were always going to be questions and they have allowed this to fester.

    An anti-Labour argument the BBC will not advance:

    “It’s a bit rich for Labour to feign moral outrage about Lord Ashcroft… they’ve been pocketing millions from foreign tycoons for years”  (Stephen Glover).

    BBC confuses ZUMA with its messiah Mandela.


    Here’s the BBC’s sycophantic sop:

    Non-BBC, non-Labour accounts:

    BBC site filters our bad news on Islam, again. Where’s? –


    “Muslim women who refused to take ‘naked’ full-body scan are barred from Manchester to Pakistan flight ”

    Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1255104/Muslim-women-barred-flight-refusing-naked-body-scan.html#ixzz0h820wDIr

    Comment by Robert Spencer, ‘Jihadwatch’:

    “This is good. The body scans are odious, and they should be scrapped, as they ultimately will prove ineffective to stop the ever-innovative jihad terrorists. Jihadis are blazing new trails in the illustrious history of Islamic inventions by always devising new ways to elude airport security procedures and murder flying Infidels. But as long as the scanners are in place, no single group should be able to bypass them and then fly — and that is what Muslim groups have been angling for, an exemption from the scanners for Muslims specifically, which demonstrates breathtaking chutzpah in light of the fact that it is Islamic jihadists who have made them necessary in the first place, and a breathtaking audacity in the openness of its attempt to smooth the path for jihad terrorists in airports.”

    Update: BBC Islamic tendency gets around to reporting Manchester airport incident, but avoids word ‘MUSLIM’ in its headline, and uses that ‘M’ word only once in the long piece.

    “Women ******* refuse to go through airport body scanners”

    see my mate ‘Sheena’ Easton is spouting his leftie crap again. This time about the people who rape and murder children (well why not I hear you say). Here’s a quote from this moron.  
     
    “…But there must be questions as to whether relatively rare incidents have inspired moral panics which result in poorly considered responses…”  
     
    Again Easton peddles the ‘rare event’, perhaps it’s me but I seem to remember a string of kids being murdered, Baby Peter being one of the more recent ones along with the little girl that was starved to death.  
     
    You can see the camp liberal mindset though, but why is it that when this filth is released from prison they don’t get housed in Hampstead or the stockbroker part of Surrey, but some shithole council estate?  
     
    Why don’t liberals like Easton offer to have this scum move in next door to them?  
     
    The problem Sheena misses is that most of the time the scum that murder children have committed crime after crime after crime beforehand but get little more than a slap on the wrist.  
     
    Why do liberals not seem to mind children being raped and murdered?
