Many people arefollowing Andrew Gilligan’s reports in the Telegraph concerning the mayoralelections in Tower Hamlets….all except the BBC who have overlooked thisscandal completely.
Why might that be? Is it because Lutfur Rahman, Labour’s candidate, is a Muslimclosely connected to extremists and that he was likely to win and take controlof the £1bn budget? Does this not play to the BBC message that the small numberof extremists represent no danger and that there is no realistic chance of themtaking any power? Lutfur Rahman has now been reported to the police for election irregularitiesand Labour have removed him as their candidate.
(By contrast the BBC are quite happy to report on an American Republican 5000 miles away who saysshe used to “dabble” in witchcraft.)
Financial irregularities, vote rigging, police action and removal as a candidate.
And yet still the BBC do not report this story, on our own doorstep, not evenin the London page of their website.
Come on Helen Boaden…explain this.

I am, frankly, still wondering how many extra seats Labour won as a result of voting – particularly postal voting – irregularities.

Hey its all a wonderful part of the multicultural experience where third world electoral fraud and block vote selling/buying/rigging is common.
Dont you see how it adds a lovely flavour to our boring grey old fashioned mono culture.
What could be better than having a little middle eastern exitement and modern pracitices where we can all enjoy the wonderful spectacle of the all inclusive multicultural paradise created for us.
Vote rigging? no no no! its a cultural norm and should be praised, in fact why not just hand the job straight to the muslim extemist fanatic instead, he is sure to be very grateful.

In a similar vein, did anyone catch Jon Loyn’s woefully anodyne “report” from Egypt on Today this morning? For those that don’t know (and I do know because I have to go to Egypt more often than I would like) this country is a disintegrating hellhole being dismembered by official torture, nepotism, inflation, ecological disaster, religious bigotry, islamism, corruption and military rule.
What marked Loyn’s report was the complete lack of moral judgement, ethical indignation and geuine concern for its people. This underlines a basic Beeboid truth: the BBC couldn’t care less what darkies do because like all post-Imperialist supremacists, they simply don’t think they’re capable of aspirational moral thought and anyhow, it doesn’t matter. It only matters if whites (esp Europeans) and Joos, are involved.
Egypt is Rahman, writ large.

Dr A,
Loyn is a typical Beeboid staying in a posh hotel and writing his copy from a bar stool.

David, as it’s not on the London page of the website, it’s possibly another of those “Hidden in Berkshire” cases.

Good point about what the BBC thinks is worth your attention, DV.

Yet more telling evidence that the BBC has fallen into the hands of the enemies of democracy. What’s Cameron doing about it? New party, anyone?
