It’s curious that despite it’s vast journalistic and technological resources, the BBC seems unable (or unwilling?) to report on the substantial gains made by the anti-Islamic unfettered immigration Freedom Party in Vienna, Austria yesterday. I wonder why? I am sure they will give this due prominence, eventually but at time of writing I cannot find any news update from them. Not a word.
THE GATES OF VIENNA…

While we are waiting I am sure they are using the time, and tax-funded resources, to dig any dirt they can on this group. They would not report on any organisation not of the left without likening them to nazis and fascists.
I have to say my instinctive reaction is to wonder if this group does have nazi sympathies or if they are just an anti-immigration party. So I can imagine easily how the BBC will play this. If they don’t report it it will be because they cannot find any mud to throw.
Perhaps we should help the bbc along a little here.
As these local democratic elections in Vienna are of no interest what so ever when the Freedom Party make gains, you are right Demon1001 that dung must be found.
So, there is a story doing the rounds that not only does Heinz-Christian Strache eat bacon and battery farmed eggs for breakfast, he also once parked his car next to Sir Philip Green’s in Monaco.
So BBC hacks, get on with it, spend the next few weeks digging into this murky story to substantiate it.
And that is all the help you’re getting from me.
The FPÖ isn’t a a ‘Nazi’ Party. That would be quite illegal in Austria and any resemblance to the Nazis would be pounced upon by the dominant SPÖ (Social Democrats) who have dominated in Vienna for a long time. Of course, the extreme left calls them Nazis but then they would call Cameron one as well. It is known as the ‘Nazikeule’, the Nazi club and is fair too readily bandied abou by the anarchist left about anyone or anything they don’t like.
They have a full range of programmes very similar to the Tea Party but their programme on the EU is likely to find wide resonance in the UK.
The platform of the Freedom Party is based on five main points:
No accession of Turkey into the European Union (EU)No intrusion of EU policy in AustriaNo increase in the Austrian contribution to the EURestrict Austrian citizenship lawStop the abuse of the asylum system
In 2008 they achieved 17.5% of the votes and in this years Vienna district election, they achieved 27% and wound up as the second largest party after the social democrat SPÖ.
They took votes off of the SPÖ and Greens and Communists.

Excellent News From Vienna
Maybe its because the BBC has sent 35 staff to Chile to cover the rescue of the miners. We’ll get some real BBC classic, in depth news and analysis from there all right. Released miners will be asked if they are pleased to be free. Wives and children will be asked if they are pleased their relatives are free. We’ll be told the miners are to have health checks, are pleased to be reunited with their families and friends and won’t be returning to work the very next day but will have some time off.
It’ll be a festival of stating the bl**ding obvious, all at the TV taxpayers expense and of course the usual huge CO2 emissions from the preachy, allegedly green BBC.
The liberal mindset forces denial of reality. So the Vienna results become unreal in their eyes.
Life is going to become very hard for the libbies and beeboids now as the reality of the world starts to destroy their illusions.
Must just be an oversight. Their impartiality cannot be doubted – it’s in their genes don’t you know?
Typical Beeb unfortunately.
When one or two righ-wing (nazi’s, far-right or ultranationalists in BBC speak) parties started to get votes they reported. Now that the right in on the ascendant, even in places like Holland, they put the heads in the sand.
According to what I’ve just read in Wiki, the ‘post-Nazi’ faction of Jorg Haider split from the FPO, so it seems any taint of Nazism that might be levelled at it would just be a smear. I’m sure the BBC are working on it, although if they depend on Andrew Marr for the right approach to take, I’m sure the smears will just be laughed at for the ramblings of moral bankrupts.
