Again, the BBC is to the fore in promulgating appeasement of terrorism. Just the other morning it provided Jonathan Powell with the prime-time platform to advocate that “we” should be talking to the Taliban and Al Queda. This morning it provided a platform to Peter Taylor and Eamon McCann to pontificate on the claim by IRA leader Machine Gun McGuinness that the Government is talking to “dissident” republican terrorists. Let’s leave aside the fact that the BBC completely ignores Unionist opinion on this (plus ca change) but look at the way the BBC actually posits the debate;
“Author and political activist Eamonn McCann and BBC reporter Peter Taylor debate whether talks could prevent future violence.”
Oh, I see. Let’s have a chinwag with terrorists and see if we can given them what they want so we can buy them off. It could equally have asked whether talks only encourage these savage killers, but I guess that is not an appropriate approach. It could ask whether the need for talks such that a military strategy would be more effective. It could ask whether once you pay the Danegeld…
But of course, it never will, The BBC is steeped in the sordid gospel of naked appeasement of all forms of terrorism and I find it profoundly nauseating.
Beeboids just love all terrorists.
I somehow think their take on dealing with neo-Nazi terrorists would be somewhat different. There are terrorists they like, and terrorists they dont like. Such are the morally decrepid times we live in, and it’s getting worse.
Sadly, David, you may have a point. It seems that the idea here is that all it would take is to add a few Real IRA seats in parliament, problem solved. That seems like the best path to government in many places these days according to astute BBC analysts.
