I HAVE KILLED MY JEW…

Comments Off on I HAVE KILLED MY JEW…
Biased BBC contributor Alan observes…

“In 2005 political commentator (and DV favourite) Mark Steyn asked this:

‘In five years’ time, how many Jews will be living in France?’

 The BBC would like us to believe it is the anti-immigration comments of Sarkozy or Gueant that have stirred up anti-Semitism resulting in these recent attacks….they would have preferred you to believe it was an attack by the Far Right. Events of course failed to follow the narrative.

If you did not already know about anti-Semitism in France a 5 minute session on Google would enlighten you….it is perhaps a shame that the well paid professionals of the BBC do not bother to do a proper investigation and instead fall back on lazy stereotypes and the prejudices of its ill informed ‘journalists’ to provide us with informed comment.

Why did Steyn ask his question in 2005?

Anti-Semitism is rife in France…some by the Far Right but mostly by immigrant Muslims. Jews are fleeing France for the ‘safer’ haven of Israel.

In 2003 ‘a 23-year-old Paris disc jockey called Sebastien Selam was heading off to work from his parents’ apartment when he was jumped in the parking garage by his Muslim neighbor Adel. Selam’s throat was slit twice, to the point of near-decapitation; his face was ripped off with a fork; and his eyes were gouged out. Adel climbed the stairs of the apartment house dripping blood and yelling, “I have killed my Jew. I will go to heaven.” ‘

This was just one of many vicious attacks on Jews by Muslims.

The BBC has studiously ignored these attacks and who perpetrated them.

The BBC has also ignored the exodus of Jews from Europe as a whole.

In 2010 a Dutch politician urged Jews to ’emigrate to US or Israel’…..

‘Former European Commissioner Frits Bolkestein says there is no future for Orthodox Jews in Holland because of ‘anti-Semitism among Dutchmen of Moroccan descent whose numbers keep growing.”Bolkstein backed up his statement by saying that the increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the Netherlands over the past decade had led him to have limited confidence in the ability of the government to fight anti-Semitism.’

 ‘….Benzion Evers believes Amsterdam is not a safe place for Jews. The son of the Dutch capital’s chief rabbi says he is planning on leaving the country next year together with his wife and infant son.

“You constantly need to hide, to be careful and to carefully examine which neighborhoods to go into and which not to go into.”

He also told of how recently, he is careful never to leave the house wearing his fur hat and hides his skullcap under a baseball cap when going through neighborhoods with high concentrations of Moroccan and Turkish immigrants. Five of his brothers and sisters have already left Holland, and he already has his bags packed. He estimates that “60% of Amsterdam’s orthodox community intends to emigrate from Holland.”‘ 
We know that Jews in Sweden are being forced to emigrate to escape violence from the incoming immigrant Muslims.

But to the BBC there is ‘No problem’ with anti-Semitism in France…..

A report on ‘Traumatised French Jews’….
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17456582
 ‘No problem’
The media have reported calls by some Israeli politicians for French Jews to emigrate to Israel to escape anti-Semitism in France. But many Jews in Paris disagree. “I think we have to stay in France,” Nicole said. “I’ve never been in Israel and I’m Jewish.” She says she does not feel threatened at all in France. Guy agreed with her. “I love my country, France,” he said. “We have extremists, like everywhere, but France is a beautiful country.” ‘No problem’

A Muslim named Mehdi states….
“There is no problem between people,” he said. “You have to make a difference between extremists, terrorists, who can be from any community, and you should know that most Muslims are not like that.”

So there you go…the BBC tells us that no Jews want to flee from anti-Semitism and that in fact Jews and Muslims get along like long lost brothers….I’m certain the BBC could have found a Jewish person who did want to emigrate if it had tried just a bit harder…than it wanted to.

However ‘Der Spiegel’ paints what is likely the more realistic picture of what is happening in France….

‘Daniel Ben-Simon, a member of the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, examined the phenomenon of Jewish emigration in his book “French Bite.” “Jews in France fear the day when the Muslims become a determining factor in French domestic politics,” Ben-Simon told SPIEGEL ONLINE. “They fear that the country will no longer be safe for them at that point.”

Even today, there are already “hundreds of anti-Semitic incidents” a year, committed mainly by Arab immigrants.

…many Jews in France feel that they are a threatened and increasingly excluded minority. Every year, these feelings prompt thousands to take a dramatic decision, namely, to pack their belongings and move to a crisis zone: Israel. They feel safer there.

Curious what a different view of the world one gets when you don’t have to rely on the BBC for it.

BACON TROLLS

Comments Off on BACON TROLLS

Biased BBC contributor Graeme writes;

“Richard Bacon produced a very good programme on internet trolls broadcast on BBC 3 a couple of days ago, The Anti-Social Network.

Firstly, I’d like to say, on the basis of what was broadcast about the internet troll stalking him and his family, who updated his anti-Bacon Twitter id with duplicate photos of Bacon after he’d got beaten up and fantasised about killing him, I’m glad he took expert advise to make a complaint to the Police and I wish them every success in finding the evil creep.

He interviewed a supposedly repentant troll who lied to him about not posting offensive messages on an RIP tribute site. He admitted this later to Richard Bacon in writing, claiming to regret what he did but saying he found some of the responses “hilarious”.

Quite rightly, Richard Bacon questioned how sorry this person is when he still finds reactions to his trolling on RIP sites ‘hilarious’.

The same question might be asked over how sincere Richard Bacon’s ‘apology’ was over referring listeners to youtube of Doug Stanhope mocking Sarah Palin’s Down’s Syndrome boy, Trig. Does a lie accompany a sincere apology? Surely his ‘apology’ should have been to Sarah Palin and Trig? According to 5Live Richard Bacon was not endorsing the Stanhope clip he referred his listener’s too. Here’s what Bacon said during his interview:-

00:57:12 [To Stanhope] “I’m genuinely a really big fan of what you do”.

00:59:43 “If you want a flavour of what he’s like go to youtube now and type doug stanhope sarah palin [snigger]”

01:04:50 “A remarkable standup comic, one of my favourte (uninteligible)”

01:18:25 “I can’t recommend it enough, you go and see Doug Stanhope at Leicester Square Theatre”.

Clearly Richard Bacon directed his listeners to this clip because he loves hearing conservative Christians being subjected to sick vitriol and wanted his listeners to share his twisted pleasure.
The question arises, is Richard Bacon’s mentality that far removed from the trolls he exposed this week?

Bacon did not carry the moral authority needed to present this BBC3 programme, but nevertheless, what I’ll end with Regard to the assault he suffered a couple of years ago is to note that a number of commenters here revelled in that and I did wonder if his stalker could be someone who posted here. If that is the case, well, I end as I started ..

BBC Opens With Dishonesty About ObamaCare

Comments Off on BBC Opens With Dishonesty About ObamaCare

ObamaCare, that most controversial law forced on the US by the former Democrat super-majority in Congress, and which was a main impetus for the meteoric rise of the Tea Party movement, is being challenged in front of the Supreme Court next week, and the BBC needs to tell you what to think about the domestic policy of a foreign country.

They open with a bit of dishonesty:

At stake is one of the most far-reaching US laws of the past several decades: President Barack Obama’s landmark healthcare reform law, aimed at providing health insurance to the tens of millions of people who currently lack it and at curbing runaway growth in healthcare costs.

The bit in bold is false, as even the BBC’s own explanation tells you afterwards:

The keystone of the law is a requirement that Americans who lack health insurance from their employers or the government purchase it on the private market.

So it doesn’t actually provide anything, does it? Yet the BBC opened this with a bit of White House propaganda, claiming that providing health insurance is its intent. Why? Instead, it requires citizens by law to purchase a product, and fine them if they don’t. Come to think of it, that should sound familiar to you….

Don’t bother reading the rest of it, because there’s nothing about the law itself, but rather an explanation of the hearing process: how long will the arguments take, when does the Court decide, etc. Oh, and of course the President says He can force people to purchase a product if He sees fit because the Commerce Clause can, according to accepted interpretation, give the government broad powers to regulate commerce across state lines and tax people for the pleasure. Which is about regulating commerce, not forcing people to buy a specific product That’s all going to come out next week, and Justice Scalia will be the key to all of it, as the White House is cleverly gearing their defense along the lines of one of his past rulings on another issue. Don’t expect to get honest reporting on this from the BBC, though.

The BBC has form on misleading and cheerleading on this issue. You can read more about the BBC’s failed coverage of ObamaCare here, here, here, and here.

A BIASED BBC

Comments Off on A BIASED BBC
It’s always nice when BBC bias is picked up and neatly dissected by others and in The Mail today, Stephen Glover makes the following points regarding the successor to Mark Thompson.

“The choice is between BBC apparatchiks: Caroline Thomson, Helen Boaden, George Entwistle and Tim Davie. I’m told Ms Boaden may lean fractionally more to the Right than the others, but none of them could be fairly described as conservative with a big or small ‘c’, and it is unimaginable that anyone of such a persuasion could become director-general of the BBC. 

Mark Thompson himself admitted 18 months ago that the Corporation was guilty of a ‘massive’ Left-wing bias in the past, while contending it is now a broader church. I don’t see much evidence of that. Sceptics will say the BBC is so innately Left-of-centre that it wouldn’t make any difference if a full-blooded Tory were put in charge.

And before we run away with the idea that its quite recently installed chairman, Lord Patten, could be so described, let it be remembered that he was a leading ‘wet’ and anti-Thatcherite who resided on the far reaches of the liberal wing of the Tory Party, which was several degrees to the Left of what used to be called ‘Right-wing Labour’.”

Glover places the blame on the gutless Conservatives for allowing the likes of the BBC to get away with their visceral bias. He surely has a point as has been discussed in these pages.

SAY TOULOUSE BUT THINK GAZA ?

Comments Off on SAY TOULOUSE BUT THINK GAZA ?

I’m sure you will have read that the Toulouse terrorist, Mohammed Merah, has finally met with justice. And a good thing too! However why does the BBC website report keep repeating this…

“He had said he was acting to “avenge Palestinian children” and protest against French military interventions overseas.”

Ok, I do understand that other odd people, like Baroness Ashton, shared (to a degree) his perverse world view of what is allegedly happening to the “Palestinian children” but why do we REALLY need to read about the motivation of this grotesque Jihad assassin so upfront in the article? Is there the suggestion that those like the BBC who oppose a/ Military invention overseas and b/Israel are happy to flag up Merah’s madness up as a badge of honour, almost?

A TANGLED WEBB?

By | | , ,
Comments Off on A TANGLED WEBB?
But a few days ago, BBC presenter Justin Webb was engaging in wild speculation concerning the motivations that lay behind the killings in Toulouse. Here, B-BBC contributor Alan captures his thoughts.

20th march 

Justin Webb

‘There are some who wonder that some politicians,including perhaps Mr Sarkozy must bear some responsibility, not necessarilyfor what happened, but for the context in which it happened. They are accused of creating a climate of suspicionabout, possibly even hatred, of minority groups.’

Agnes Poirier:

‘We couldn’t make a link between the killing of thesoldiers and little kids…what is emerging is that these are the faces ofdiverse France and obviously it becomes then extremely apparent that the killershould want to assassinate diverse France.’

Webb:

‘That is the point…do we accept it is possible at leastthat this killer seemed to be motivated by wanting to attack the way thatmodern France looks and that of course has been part of the presidentialcampaign. French Interior Minister Claude Gueant became a verycontroversial figure a few weeks ago when he said ‘For us not all civilisationsare of equal value.’ Do you think these kind of remarks should not havehappened? Is it acceptable for people to talk about subjects ofpolitical controversy?’

Agnes Poirier;

‘The constant stirring of stereotypes is unhelpful and isan unhealthy debate in France.’

Interesting that Webb thinks any talk of immigration andintegration makes for ‘controversial politics’….and perhaps should not bespoken of….but that has always been BBC policy and look where such lack ofmoral fibre and backbone and failure to challenge cultural beliefs andactivities leads us:
http://www.nationalobserver.net/2009_81_glees.htm
‘The British public have not got their teeth into any ofthis, not least because it is so hard for the full facts to be put tothem…..vested interests discourage too close a scrutiny of the evidence.
It is a matter of the gravest concern that Westerndemocracies are not only failing to monitor properly the activities of radicalimams but allowing the Islamic studies centres to mushroom, totally out ofcontrol. They are making radicalisation and ideological transfer easier, notharder, and increasing the security risk rather than containing it. In Britain, it is actually official government policy toexpand the teaching of Islamic studies so that every single Muslim student inthe UK will be able to take this subject. Wherever Islamists go on the attack, all are driven bythe same malign and violent hatred of the West and its current foreign securityinterests.’

BBC TAX AVOIDANCE

Comments Off on BBC TAX AVOIDANCE

Say it isn’t true?

“More than 300 staff at the BBC avoid paying income tax, an MP has revealed. Tory MP David Mowat, who represents Warrington South, said he discovered 320 “non-talent based” employees earning more than £50,000 avoided income tax. Mr Mowat said it was “not acceptable”, adding it was the BBC’s Newsnight programme which had sparked the row about senior civil servants avoiding tax when it revealed head of the Student Loans Company Ed Lester had been paid via a company.

And the BBC response?

“A BBC spokesman said: “These individuals are not permanent members of BBC staff so do not have their tax deducted at source in the way the vast majority of employees would. “In the main they are hired to do specific jobs for a fixed period of time such as directing, editing and other craft skills. When a person is contracted in this way it is their responsibility to organise their tax arrangements directly with the HMRC. “This is entirely in keeping with HMRC regulations and is standard practice across the broadcasting and many other industries.”

BBC NEWS KILL JEWS?

Comments Off on BBC NEWS KILL JEWS?

Biased BBC’s Alan suggests…

“The BBC approvinglyquote Sarkozy demanding we don’t demonise Muslims for the action of one’deranged Islamist’ as the BBC might put it. However isn’t it true that the ‘deranged Islamist’ killed these Jewish schoolchildren and their teacher precisely because organisations like the BBC haveconstantly demonised Israel and dehumanised Jews and incited anger andresentment towards Jews around the world.

BBC News kills Jews.

Can there really be any doubt about that?”

THE GRANNY BASHING BUDGET

Comments Off on THE GRANNY BASHING BUDGET

Look, I am not a fan of the Coalition, and I am far from impressed with David Cameron, but even I feel a little sorry for the PM, and his Chancellor,  having listened to the BBC post Budget analysis. Osborne was on the Today programme and did OK, I suppose, but the entire ethos of the interview was to suggest that the Budget was really a sop to the rich and an attack on the elderly. It doesn’t matter that it was neither, it is the suggestion that counts, and across the UK the BBC has been to the fore in the past 24 hours in doing everything to make the Budget seem downbeat, unfriendly and so very different from those nice sunny uplifting Budgets delivered by Brown and Darling. Ed Balls was interviewed waffling about how there “was not one single item in the Budget that did anything for jobs”. He was not challenged. Shortly thereafter, the BBC announced the GlaxoSmithKline were investing £500m in the UK and creating 1000 new jobs. I also note the language the BBC use – for example the Chancellor “gave” millions to “the rich”.  Surely what the meant to say is he allowed them to keep more of their income, not quite the same thing but if you are a wealth redistributionist favouring broadcaster, I suppose that is more easily explained.
