‘How strange must our system of politicks appear in future ages, when it appears, that while we were carrying on offensive wars in all quarters of the globe with vast fleets and armies, that an enemy rode triumphant in our own harbours.’
The BBC steadfastly refuses to engage in any meaningful debate about the dangers of importing an ideology that is totally at odds with that of the host nation…in fact of a whole ‘Civilisation’ ….and consider that that ‘civilisation’ is one that acts as a defender of last resort of the freedoms and human rights that are so often crushed by various regimes. If this ‘Western civilisation’ falls or neuters itself who will there be to help those subject to the most violent oppression. It seems ironically that the BBC and the Left are happy to see the rise of a militant religious tyranny that will introduce such oppressions and police them with a violence that is somewhat beyond ‘waterboarding’ that life becomes but a sterile desert in the name of some sort of twisted belief in ‘human rights’ of those who would take great pleasure in stripping you of your own human rights.
Hayek said:
‘…Many who think themselves infinitely superior to the aberrations of Nazism and sincerely hate all its manifestations, work at the same time for ideals whose realisation would lead straight to the abhorred tyranny.’
Who can doubt that the BBC agenda and the policies of politicians all lead to the eventual ‘triumph’ of an ideology that is no more than an ‘abhorred tyranny’?
Maryam Namazie said:
‘Freedom of expression matters. It is not a luxury, a western value and it’s
certainly not up for sale (though obviously governments and the UN mistakenly
think it to be so).
Sometimes – actually more often than not – it is all we have.
But like many other rights and freedoms, it becomes most significant and finds
real meaning when it comes to criticising that which is taboo, forbidden,
sacred.
Freedom of expression matters most, therefore, when it comes to criticising
religion.
Freedom of expression is one of the only means we have at our disposal to resist both camps of reaction and to protect humanity.
We have to defend it unequivocally and unconditionally.’
Churchill said this about the defeat of tyranny after the war (abridged):
‘This noble continent, comprising on the whole the fairest and the most cultivated regions of the earth; enjoying a temperate and equable climate, is the home of all the great parent races of the western world. It is the fountain of Christian faith and Christian ethics. It is the origin of most of the culture, arts, philosophy and science both of ancient and modem times.
What is this plight to which Europe has been reduced?
The vast quivering mass of tormented, bewildered human beings
Who wait in their cities and their homes
And scan the dark horizons for the approach of some new form of tyranny or terror with the sullen silence of despair.
But for the Great Republic across the Atlantic Ocean saving Europe from ruin and enslavement the Dark Ages would have returned in their cruelty and squalor.
They may still return.
The salvation of the common people in Europe from war and servitude
Must be established on solid foundations,
And must be created by the readiness of
All men and women to die rather than to submit to tyranny.
Let Europe arise.’
Have we already seen the imposition of the Tartan Taliban?….Gordon Brown must be drinking whatever Muslims drink…he’s a very angry, irrational man:
‘Good evening, you’re watching ITV News. We go over now to Westminster, where our political editor Tom Bradby has just come from interviewing Gordon Brown. Good evening, Tom. How was the Prime Minister?’
‘Good evening, Alastair. Interviewing Gordon Brown is not like interviewing any other politician.
‘Most encounters with party leaders or MPs form a distinct pattern. We come in, we sit down, we chat pleasantly. We do an interview, which is probing, highbrow or a bit brutal, as circumstances demand.
‘Then we exchange a few more pleasantries and we go away. End of story. Tony Blair was like this, David Cameron is. So are Alistair Darling, Nick Clegg, George Osborne and just about every other front-rank politician I can think of.
‘Not Gordon. Interviewing him is emotionally complicated. He doesn’t seem to understand that we are here to ask difficult questions and test his arguments by establishing contrary positions.
‘He nearly always tells us we are wrong, both on and off camera, and that we have not done our research. He often gets angry, sometimes sulks and from time to time looks brutally hurt.
‘I really don’t know what to make of it. It’s not politics as we know it.’ ‘
Off subject I know, but 5 Live’s 9am phone in was about whether The Sun’s Page 3 topless photo is offensive to children. Only a public broadcaster awash with unearned taxpayers cash can so blatantly get another dig in at Murdoch this way. Yesterday’s Ofcom report gave a clean bill of health to BSkyB so the Beeboids spent the day on James Murdoch by plaguing the man not the ball. This morning a full hour on the most obscure subject, obediently supported by numerous of the feminist sisterhood so beloved by Beeb. It is too pathetic for words.
” obediently supported by numerous of the feminist sisterhood so beloved by Beeb”
To where do these feminists disappear when there are issues about certain religions to be discussed?
What happens to their shock and disgust?
Just asking that’s all.
I meant playing, not plaguing. Apologies for the typo above.
‘plaguing’s’ about right.

just like this guy 😀
I don’t know how many listeners to the BBC Today programme ever realised that Gordon Brown when Chancellor or PM never actually visited the BBC studios.
Instead, the Today team would just ask for an endless loop cassette, which they would put on, ask the planted first question, and then turn on the tape! After the usual five minutes of gibberish, about economic this and that, Humphries would pretend to interject, the editor would pause the tape, and then restart it with Brown just carrying on from where he left off.
Amen!
OK, time to don my hard hat.
I am sick and tired of Muslims sounding off because something which any reasonable person would regard as innocuous has offended their sensibilities. As far as I am concerned they deserve all the insults they get for their preposterous and backwards behaviour. The fact they think they can get away with it is in no small part due to the actions of the BBC and “liberal” media in appeasing such behaviour. The BBC needs to be taken to task whenever they imply that such behaviour is understandable or try to sweep the religious basis for unacceptable acts under the carpet or challenge other religions in a way that they will not challenge Islam.
There is an extremely indistinct line between the BBC failing to report on something and people simply wanting to articulate their political views, but I feel that in the past few days the site has crossed this line on too many occassions. It is a site for BBC bias. Do we really need yet another post telling us how bloody awful Muslims are?
I too, would prefer the focus to be more on specifics of where the BBC fails, in integrity and/or professionalism. Or both.
One could argue this is in the ‘I see they haven’t mentioned..’ arena, which I always think also errs on dodgy ground (even when warranted) because it’s so easy for a cherry vulture to get excited and fire up the archive to get a 1997 Ceebeebies that ‘proves’ otherwise. And the BBC CECUTT can brush off unproven negatives with ease. Barely worth going there unless egregious (like the Fogels).
However, this is a free site run by volunteers, so it’s their call.
You have politely donned a hard hat. Because I agree with the sentiment, the way you have not let the BBC off a very dangerous game they’re playing, and the civilised manner you carried it out in the spirit of concern over petty toy tossing, I don one along with you too. FWIW.
If somebody feels that the Muslim religion is a direct threat to our way of life, and chooses this forum to express that view, they are exercising the opportunity for free speech which this forum offers.
If views about the importance (or otherwise) of a free society have no relevance to the BBC you might have a point, but they do, and so you don’t.
The Internet is by far the biggest enemy the BBC has ever faced, because it enables people to by-pass the received view and make up their own mind by reading and hearing a diversity of views.
The BBC is a conversation where you have to figure out what the other person is saying from the scowls and sneers of their interlocutor.
Biased BBC is an opportunity to hear the other side – the side that despises totalitarianism and its apologists and believes in the civilization which the Left for at least the last hundred years having been trying to destroy.
In the words of a Leftist I shared a house with while at university “I hate Britain and I hate the West” except in my case replace the word hate with love,
No, I’m afraid I disagree. IN my opinion, BBC Islamic groveling is, quite simply, appalling and must be highlighted in continuing detail; it’s the best evidence we have of BBC bias and its nature underlies the essence of Left-wing hypocrisy. Because Islam is dominating the headlines it’s only appropriate that topics should generally follow suit, as it were.
Overall, I think there is a huge array of topics covered here week-by-week by, as you say, professionals with busy lives who choose to volunteer. Alan’s posts explore the wider debate of the BBC’s left-wing bias which, in my opinion adds brevity and a longer perspective to discussion. Don’t like… I suppose it’s a case of skipping onto the next discussion etc.
Sorry, I meant breadth not ‘brevity’.
And this by the same; Guardian, B-BBC and antisemitism;
The BBC is full of people who hated the civilisation that gave them their life.
The BBC and their Leftists comrades see Islam as the quickest and easiest for them to get their Marxist world government.
They use the BBC to help do this, also they are spineless cowards.
If Islam ever got into power they would up like the Leftists did during the Iranian revolution.
Anjam Chourdry is saying now the Muslims should have nothing to do with the left-wing.
Must be the first good thing he has ever said.
Islam pretends to be a religion, but once in power, it becomes a totalitarian ideology.
The evidence is all around us. Christians in Egypt in the Mubarak regime, were under persecution, but now they are in danger of wiped out.
Trust the BBC to ignore the violent and murderous persecution of Christians in Muslim countries.
