at least we know one, who is employed …
thanks to al bbc yday, with a 20 min segment
on Ali Abbas who lost limbs in Iraqi due to a US rocket
who was brought to Britain provided with prosthetic limbs, looked after, stopped, now resides here, is now waiting for his erm iraqi “betrothed” to get a visa to come over here …
to get married … oh yes and who is now setting up a charity to provide more of the same to others
one question … why was all this not in the US?
anyway V Drearybyshire on 5live really went to town only needed sad string music …
and so glad that the girl shot in the head in pakistan
is better, AND ….so has been transfered to her .. ahem, NEW HOME IN THE WEST MIDLANDS,
ps. hope it won t be long before her dad and extended family are with her? eh!
bet “Vaz-eline” is on the case as we speak.
And-of course, absolutely no “narrative” about why a 15 year-old girl cannot go back to “complete her education” in her home country.
Bit near India and its endemic raping of young women I expect…for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is surely just as good a country to be a female in, as out own.
And who knows?…tuition fees might be less, the NUT equivalents might be heappier not having to deal with Gove and his “faith schools”.
Beeb done any surveys yet about the morale of those bearded bards doing their slams in the madrassas….of community faith schools as the BBC knows them to be…if only WE were as enlightened eh?…
Her father is now working at the Pakistani Consulate in Birmingham. She will also require to go back into hospital for reconstructive surgery funded by the Pakistani Government.
Where do you suggest she should go to live?
The Pakistani Government should relocate her family. In Pakistan.
pak consulate in birmingham, 😀 mind you it could be manchester, london, or glasgow, or even hilariously bradford
they do, like to keep their insidious political fingers in eh! don t they
and of course … i don t suppose their are any surgeons in the pak.
i note that al bbc, was trumpeting some ahem! pak womans “rights” waller, whose droning verbal gymnastics, mean t she could wax on and on and on about “success against adversity” without mentioning murderous islamists once … which was great as obviously womans rights are the first thing that
we associate with islam eh!
Pakistan.
Next question please.
Don`t be so soft Albaman!
I`ve no problem with the poor girl getting a fair deal, after what happened to her…but I await the likes of Owen Jones to tell me about why Pakistan is a failed abortion of a “state”….hence the shooting of her.
Can`t imagine you`ll be rushing to tell us why Islam seems to produce women hating basket cases ripe only for suicide bombers , anytime soon either…which is your problem eh?
No wait-it`s mine too, because I pay for it don`t I?…tell us more about this Pakistani Consulate won`t you?
Not another bloody “Peoples Bureau” is it?
They probably got this definition from Gordon ‘growth of 0%’ Brown.
I wonder how this news would have been treated were Labour still in government? (rhetorical question)
‘risen less than expected’
One supposes that neatly can match, and indeed be ‘balanced’ by executive compensation payments that ‘achieved levels absolutely in keeping with expectations… albeit those very, very high ones of a very, very small number of people; luckily those solely and secretly tasked to handle such delicate matters in private’.
That these are the same decrying in public what happens elsewhere in hypocritical terms is, of course, what makes the BBC so unique.
I’m sure there’s an Open Thread, but here’ll do…

As some try to figure out what over the Xmas schedule actually was original programming.
Anyway, in other news, it seems The Mirror has just given the BBC another way to get Prezza on screen even more.
He’s a rapporteur, you know.
speaking of the bBC theasaurus, i see there is a new leader in Venezuela, Oogo Chavez, not too sure if he’s a relation of Hugo or not. I heard he was born near the Tharagotha thee.
Brings to mind this old pun:
Thunder god (to his horse) : “I’m Thor !”
Horse: “You forgot your thaddle, you thilly thod ! “
Hats off to Norman Smith-it WAS him that pasted Ed Balls on the World at One today wasn`t it?
At last-a BBC staffer asks the right questions and talks over the stuttering squidgy, reminding him of his oft-quoted endless recycling of money he`s already offered to some other survivors network from New Labours client base.
Balls was plastered all over the place and the Green Room finally was the site of Labours endless dirty protest…with Balls smeared round the walls.
O.K …not A*…no reminding Balls about his thirteen years pissing the great grandkids inheritance up the wall…no hounding the fat lug for an apology for all he`d done to screw this nation over…but still, bloody good!
Reading Robin Aitkens stoning of the BBC from 2007( Can we trust the BBC?)…makes good reading, in that it is moderate and fair to his employers-probably more devastating to the Beeb than my rants and raves.
Thank you Norman for today..thank you Robin as well!
I was just about to post the same thing. I was travelling around lunchtime today and – against my better judgment – left the car radio on for The World at One (not for nothing known as TWAT-O). It was a revelation. Norman Smith just kept asking the key questions and pressing his foot against Ed Balls’ neck.
All that Balls kept saying was ‘we hate the Tories’, ‘tax the rich’ with an occasional ‘I was just about to say that, if you’d let me speak’ whenever Smith repeated an unanswered question.
So, hats off to Norman Smith for a hard-hitting and unbiased BBC moment.
There was just one obvious question that Smith didn’t ask, and I’ve not yet seen anyone do so: Labour is saying there are 130,000 long-term unemployed, without a job for two years or more. But what about the estimated 2 million or so that Balls’ government put on Incapacity Benefit but their advisor in 2008 said were fit for work? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/1577312/1.9m-on-benefit-should-go-back-to-work.html
We shouldn’t let Labour get away with repeating their pretence that there are only 130,000 long-term unemployed when they created several million scroungers.
Someone at bBBC-House must have noticed the treatment given to Balls on TWAT-O. Tonight’s ‘News’ at Ten on bBBC1 included a 5-minute Labour Party Political broadcast with Balls encouraged to regurgitate his bile without any inquisition.
Somebody from Labour HQ was screaming down the phone at a News producer. The Tories do the same thing. The BBC’s response to each, however, is different.
