Wonder if any readers heard this paean to Maoist terrorism on the excruciating BBC Radio 4 “From Our own Correspondent” a few days ago. The BBC seems to be the last bastion for open-mouthed admiration of Maoist inspired killing. Well worth your license fee?
LOVING MAO…

And of course Hitler has some great ideas too. Okay — maybe he went a BIT too far with that whole Holocaust/wipe out the Jews thingy! Though who hasn’t had a bad hair decade!!
But honestly, you can’t make a decent omlette without murdering a few million!
It’s just the necessary price we have to pay for progress when led by great visionaries.
Hi ho.

When a corporation doesn’t have to worry about income it can allow its employees to indulge in rubbish like FOOC.
Indulgent and poorly managed public sector employers do seem to attract an unusually high proportion of pretend revolutionaries, amateur anarchists, food faddists, eco-nutters and other oddballs. The BBC is no different.

Unbelievable – one cannot help but laugh at the adolescent idiocy of the stinking BBC’s “reporters”. All this tedious bit of expensive agitprop lacked was some violins! Maoism is, like you know, reallly coool….

Leftists are obsessed with three things: RACE, SEX and a cult-like devotion to selected MASS MURDERERS.
Oh — and homosexuals. But that goes under the subset of SEX.

Surely the Maoist fan mail infringes BBC Guidelines re the Terrorism Act 2000
The Terrorism Act 2000
We have a legal obligation under the Terrorism Act 2000 to disclose to the police, as soon as reasonably practicable, any information which we know or believe might be of material assistance in:
preventing the commission of an act of terrorism anywhere in the world.securing the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of a person in the UK, for an offence involving the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.
It is a criminal offence not to disclose such information, punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Any situation where BBC staff may be in potential breach of the Terrorism Act must be referred to Controller Editorial Policy and Programme Legal Advice.
The Act also outlaws certain national and international organisations described as “terrorist” groups, making it illegal for them to operate in the UK. Details of the list can be found at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/security/terrorism-and-the-law/terrorism-act/proscribed-groups.

Surely this is worth a FOI enquiry? Did Alpa Shah approach the Controller Editorial Policy and Programme Legal Advice before interviewing the Maoist rebels? Was she advised to inform the Indian Police? What was theadvice she was given?

It’s worth someone in the next Government having a look at and if appropriate add the names of those responsible to a blacklist of people due for a Parliamentary purging. I’m sure it wouldn’t even raise a blip on the radar though if that incoming Government is going to be Cameron’s. He’s frightened of the BBC.

Continuing the Maoist theme, the lumpen Marxetariat at the BBC, and all the other organs of the Institutionally Leftist state, never tire of pumping up psycho-commie states, and their UN suck-up appeasers.
Next time the BBC uses Reuters as a source, or cites World Health Organization statistics to prove something bogus, remember this…
And this is verbatim from Reuters, though it does read as if it’s from Private Eye!
North Korea’s health system would be the envy of many developing countries because of the abundance of medical staff that it has available, the head of the World Health Organization said on Friday.
WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, speaking a day after returning from a 2-1/2 day visit to the reclusive country, said malnutrition was a problem in North Korea but she had not seen any obvious signs of it in the capital Pyongyang.
North Korea–which does not allow its citizens to leave the country–has no shortage of doctors and nurses, in contrast to other developing countries where skilled healthcare workers often emigrate, she said.
