So Prince Harry reveals that he may have killed Taliban when on active service in Afghanistan. Good. Well maybe not. This item from the BBC seems fairly neutral but the idea that our soldiers actually KILL Jihadists never sits easy with the preaceniks and dhimmis at the BBC and so I invite you to comment on any additional BBC coverage you may have heard as regards Harry’s interview..
THE KILLER PRINCE

I thought that was what he was there for.
Just because he’s a royal celeb, it’s no big deal.
He is there to do a soldiers job which includes killing the enemy when ordered to do so. In the final analysis he is carrying out the orders of T Blair and the Labour Government which sent the British Army into Afganistan.
If the BBC try to spin it any other way they should be heavily criticised and hopefully lose more public trust. It just shows how out of touch they and their chattering chums are with what British people really think , but are not allowed to say, about just about everything.
Of course, in Islam Not BBC (INBBC)’s political lexicon, it propagandises that the Taliban are mere ‘militants’, as it does Hamas, and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb -not the Islamic jihadist enemy they are.
“BBC criticised for calling Algeria terrorists ‘militants'”
By Tim Ross.

As someone on the Open thread called them, why don’t we all call them “Islamist Progressives”. After all they are supported by the self-styled “Progressives” in this country so it’s only fair to link them together.
If this becomes common parlance then every time Labour, the BBC, the Liberals, the Guardian call themselves “Progessives” maybe some voters might associate them with the terrorists who are trying to kill us or subject us to slavery.
How about we call a spade a spade. They cowardly murdering thugs.
It may still be snowy but there’s at least one state school open for business. At Salford Comp Middle School our favourite trendy supply teacher Mr Nicky Campbell is always available to class sit for a wet break. Fourth Form debate…cool! Ok settle down at the back please. Ryan, I hope you’re not going to throw that. Mohammed, put Aaron down please – not on his head. Now who wants to talk about our subject this morning ‘Do you feel sorry for Harry?’ (No of course I’m not serious, I want to give you all a chance to slag off the Royals!)
panto dame 5live “your call”
Should Prince Harry have talked about what he did in Afghanistan? And! should he have used the words he did?
hmmm Translation, he didn t show enough colonial guilt, or give enough cringing due reverence, to the backstabbing murdering islamic facist scum who want to kill him at every opportunity … hmmm whats the chances of that happening eh! 😀
…. anyway it soon turned into a socialist workers antiwar

The lefty will ALWAYS have the last word on Dame Nikki’s show.
I do think the Army should have sent Harry on the “how to handle the media course, for officers who have to deal with the media.
It would have been far better for Harry to have said nothing, or if asked the direct question, “I’m sorry, but I can’t comment on any operational matters I’ve been involved in”.
Having said that, the BBC is having a field day on TV and radio, reporting that Harry has killed and generally hyping it up. Of course in doing this they are providing ammunition for Britian’s enemies. Be in no doubt those enemies will use this for incitement and recruitment purposes against our armed forces.
‘It would have been far better for Harry to have said nothing’
Not an option.
From the bit I saw on SKY, the deal was he either said something or it was open season.
So far I have seen his talk ‘reported’ as him ‘shooting’ to ‘killing’ to, one presumes, pitchforking babies.
The media can’t lose on this one.
Don’t know if it was a pooled job but the guy asking the questions had only one sound bite in mind.
That was where media training could have helped.
Harry delivered several, and to the jackals of the UK media pack, they were all gold dust for either a cheap rating or very expensive agenda-based worldwide broadcast anger and protest wind-up.
That the BBC often acts as default PR for the killers of British troops seems ‘conflicted’.
ps: great name for this topic
Did I hear on the 7am news something to the effect that his remarks might not be acceptable to people who oppose the war? Well, I am pleased he made them because he has made it easier to express support for our soldiers without being charged with race speech.
on bbc breakfast,pouting airhead whatsername reads off autocue-“Prince harry ADMITS killing taliban”
admits????
admits????
number 1,that’s what he’s there for
number 2-it’s not something that has to be “admitted” as if it’s a crime
though in beeboid eyes it most likely is
Lindsey German of Stop the War fellow travellers calls Harry arrogant and insensitive. Betcha BBC will pick up on this. At least he did not piss in the direction of Mecca. That would have been insensitive.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/harry-arrogant-over-afghan-deaths-110204070.html#e0pUJBa
I am afraid that the use of the word ‘admits’ has become completely trivialised in one sense, pertaining to any statement by anyone which reporters simply wish to cast in a negative light.
The usual connotation of the word is that the truth about some failing has been forced out of someone by some means, and that therefore implies the person is guilty of some nefarious act. In essence, however, this maybe simply a statement of fact, but one with which the reporter does not readily accept.
Newsspeak, very closely related to Newspeak, courtesy of one George Orwell, in ‘1984’.
At least they didn’t use the usual lazy journalists’ word ‘reveal’, now almost ubiquitous to imply that the media have found something that others wanted to keep secret.
I like Harry, even more so since his interview.
Yes, a real man – enough to give media metrosexuals and harpies conniptions.
A soldier killed the enemy ?
Does reporting on the media’s befuddled reporting even warrant a place on BBBC ?
Is Islam the only religion that kills those who leave it to join another religion allows sex with babies, children and animals but kills homosexuals. Or are these traits being kept from us?
Yes Fred, you got the drift of it spot on mate! One day the chattering classes will come to realise you are correct.
As the knife-blade sinks into the neck.
Stab in the back?
Just like the way lefty’s like it.
The Army is now a branch of the Social Work Department, teaching tolerance between muslims and Christians.
I remember the Labour party saying ” we’re in Afghanistan to educate the children !!” Aww, how sweet. Pulling at our heart strings, emotional blackmail.
As soon as I heard this on ITN I thought that the BBC and their leftist pals would have a thorough go at this. Not of his criticism of the media nor his pride in his collegues; no just the bit where he sort of implied he had killed. AFAIK he said that he had shot at insurgents and he was OK with that because you ‘have to take a life to save a life’ sometimes. No direct ‘Yeah I mowed the fuckers down like it was Call of Duty maaaaan. Yehaw!’ as the BBC will soon have it spun as.
He should have kept his mouth shut as said above. A ‘I’m not sure I should comment on that’ would have been acceptable. I do however applaud his honesty, no mealy mouthed MoFo he.
Either way this aspect of his service will be used against him time and time again on the BBC. ‘Harry the Nazi’. will become ‘Harry the Murderer’. Signs coming to a public appearance near you soon.
Let’s just hope its not used as an excuse to kill him. I wonder if the mad mullahs have the sense, like the IRA , to realise the world of pain they will be in if they killed a major Royal?
I would keep it quiet – he may have fired at people, maybe he hit them, maybe he missed – but why make the royal family more of a target for the crazed ones?
‘why make the royal family more of a target for the crazed ones?’
You’re asking questions OF them… that’s not how it works.
How elegantly and quite precisely put !
Professional Lesbian Bea Campell on J.Wine now ,going on & on about Harry killing some Taliban! How many times she been on that show , almost weekly , more than Nigel Farrage on QT ! I think she lives with her Muslim sisters ,in France anyhow , but must be the girlfriend of one the shows producers !
‘Bea Campell on J.Wine now ,going on & on about Harry killing some Taliban!’
As there is a bit of a difference between shooting at and hitting (in war, the distinction in intent is moot), did she mention where she garnered this information from?
And if incorrect, are not she and the source rather complicit in incitement based on propaganda?
It’s all semantics I know as I am pretty sure he was in an attack helicopter armed to the teeth to discourage opponents with extreme prejudice, but if the BBC can play silly buggers with words and definitions surely can the rest of us?
I would think, having seen the video records from apache attacks, freely viewable on youtube, that anyone in the cockpit is in no doubt if the target was hit, or not! The cannon shells and hellfire missiles are devastating, thank fuck!
God I hate the BBC! In fact, it winds me up so much that I try to avoid it like the norovirus. Sadly however, “accidental exposure” does occasionally occur. Just after midday I was unfortunate enough to hear 5 mins of Bea Campbell spouting total bollocks until I was forced to leave the room in search of a sick bag. Then, at about 1.45pm, I was on my way home when, in an effort to re-tune the radio, I was subjected to another few mins of the Jeremy Vine show. This time the subject was chain saws. Apparently, if you use them incorrectly, carelessly or too casually, they can cause serious injury and even death! Shock horror! Who knew?? Of course the answer has to be…Ban Them!
Good grief! Looks like its true what they say then: inside every liberal there’s a fascist struggling to get out.
Robert “killer” Runcie MC, Archbishop of Canterbury won his MC by saving a tank crew whilst under heavy fire and later driving his tank into an exposed position to destroy three German anti-tank guns.
This did not taint his moral or spiritual character at all.
The context is important, WW2 was a war of necessity but the current war in Afghanistan suffers from its Labour Party origins which are rooted in political positioning and not strategic thought. I recall ‘Dr’ Reid making his pontifical statement that the British army would not fire a ‘single bullet’ and sending out an ill equipped army to do what? – never really told us did they? This from a supposed historian too!
The BBC will not even characterise the enemy as morally wrong, and when ‘Islamists’ blow buses up in London there is no appetite to state the bleeding obvious – that there are links with global islamism and the real threat is here at home and not in Afghanistan – a place that has defeated the British Army three times before. (mainly of course because we were following similarly ridiculous ill defined policy objectives)
I am sick of the BBC with its barely concealed moral angst and much worse Islington intelligentsia sneers. I listened to the BBC World Service phone in about Killer Harry, WHYS, and got a dose of sneering patronising twaddle from one particular guest who stated that Harry was ‘stupid’ and ‘lacked education’ and needed to be protected from himself. I do hope that he meets a chap enforcing the London Sharia zone when he is on his way back to his flat from the vintners. That half case of Margot ’99 will take some explaining
”I recall ‘Dr’ Reid”
You mean marxist and Stalin supporter John Reid. Trying to justify himself he said ” I use to believe in Santa Claus, but not now.”
Slight difference, chum, you stop believing in Santa when you’re a child. You were still a believer in marxism in your 40’s .
A nasty piece of work.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Reid,_Baron_Reid_of_Cardowan
All of the above x 10, plus you do know that if Captain Wales had refused to answer, then they’d be running shows about our right to know and asking what he had to hide.
This would be a bizarre reaction from the BBC if one didn’t already know they were biased on the issue. They don’t have to literally take sides on who’s morally right or wrong. But to act as if it’s some sort of shocking confession for a soldier whose job it is to fire a very large gun in the direction of the enemy to, you know, actually be successful at it once or twice seems childish and unbecoming of professional journalists.
I don’t know about anyone else but I think there’s something quite beautiful about an Apache helicopter in full howl over a taleban ‘wedding party’*
Right up there with drone strikes in Yemen in my book.

They’ll be flying over Bradford next………
The lad i work with left radio 2 on when he went to lunch and so I was regaled to the J Vine show where the main topic was Prince Harry.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pz0zy
Starts at 08.25.
J Vine leads with:
“Are you pleased with your Prince fighting for his country or do you feel a sense of unease at with way he discuses having to shoot the enemy”?
The bBC, the traitors within our midst
BTW anybody know who the leftwing split arse Bea Campbell is, I do want to run up to her with a plastic (toy) knife in the high street shouting out ‘Allah ackba’ boy will this green arsehole shit bricks and i will walk away laughing at how shit and piss trickles down her leg.
Fucking green warriors just don’t have a clue.
Mary Lorimer Beatrix Campbell, OBE (born 3 February 1947) is a British campaigning journalist and author. Since the mid 1970s, she has published numerous articles and book reviews in such publications as Marxism Today, Red Rag, Time Out, Feminist Review, New Statesman, New Socialist, The Guardian, The Independent, Scotland on Sunday, The Scotsman and the Sunday Mirror. She describes herself as a communist feminist. She was born in Carlisle and was one of the founders of Red Rag.

Beatrix Campbell – from CPGB to OBE
Liberal Elite? What Liberal Elite?
Ah the leftwing twit has a website:
http://www.beatrixcampbell.co.uk/
and here is what Wiki has to say on her:
Campbell joined the Communist Party of Great Britain around the time it was turning itself from a bulwark of trade union officialdom towards a more feminist and multi-culturalist programme. She joined a reform faction founded by university lecturer Bill Warren in 1970 and was one of the ‘Gramscians’ who “took leading positions in the party”when she joined the National Women’s Advisory Committee. She worked as a sub-editor on the Morning Star newspaper, with critics noting she received state subsidised holidays to Communist East Germany during this time and praised the country.At that time, Campbell excused the party membership’s identification with Stalinist oppression in Eastern Europe: “… in the main it is a solidly working class part of the Party which is called Stalinist … only by virtue of the fact that they thought the CIA was about to take over Czechoslovakia and it was therefore politically correct that the Russians moved in.”
However i did love this about her:
“In June 2009 Campbell was made an OBE. She argued that “by clinging to symbols and rituals that belong to a cruel imperial order the government compromises the gonged” but defended herself on the grounds “getting gonged confers recognition of ‘citizens’ contributions’ to a good society – in my case equality – and the gesture affirms our necessity; the radicals – not the royalists – are the best of the British”
Bea Campbell, leftwing idiot who says do as i say and not as i do.
Saw her book on those less-well-known riots of the early 90s…Meadowell(north Shields), Cardiff , Oxford.
Need I tell you how she saw these pointless pretexts for recreational violence, looting, burnouts-and the devastation of many good peoples efforts to protect their areas from the worst kind of indifference both from the Tories and the Socialist Councils of the day?
Need I tell you?…nah…just fast forward to August 2011, and how the BBC/Guardian etc defended the self same thugs(only one generation on) as they did the same things-for the same reasons-with the same liberal lefty joker cards-and with the same lack of sanction or punishment.
Campbell is a gold plated hypocrite and defender of the bacilli that wipe out good people in tough towns…and she`s got a gong?
The lefty tapeworm seems now to be having more influence, more dinners and more interviews that the poor normal sucker that was once the host…and it continues to feed off the living nation it sucks to death…and no-one will lop its head off.
Is that what Islam will have to do?…wake up England …Campbell is as much the septicemia as anybody currently residing somewhere nice in Eurozone Calais-Nord!
Like that “Welsh” windbag kinnochio, who said of the house of lords, that it was unelected, unrepresentative and undemocratic. Then accepted a seat in there! Twat!
pounce this is what that left wing website didnt say ,but I thought was common knowledge
‘Reproduced from Private Eye Magazine No.1240 July 2009
BEATRIX POTTY
FOLLOWERS of the career of Marxist feminist Green party candidate and republican journalist Beatrix Campbell were astonished when she was awarded an OBE for services to equal opportunities in the Queen’s birthday honours last month (Eye 1239). Campbell was one.ofthe first proponents of a belief in the Satanic ritual abuse myth in the early 1990s and remained resolutely vocal in support, together with a network of believers, long after government commissioned research by Professor Jean La Fontaine, concluded in 1994 there was no evidence to support the claims. Before and even since that report, dozens of families were devastated by false allegations that they were devil worshipping paedophiles sexually abusing children in Satanic rituals that included drinking blood and urine and sacrificing animals and babies.’
The woman is so dangerously deranged I thought she had lost credibility even with the far-left and other militant deconstructionists (like the BBC)
“Professor Jean La Fontaine”.
It was an outrage that Virginia Bottomley appointed this woman to conduct this investigation. She already had an entrenched position that Satanic Ritual Abuse did not exist.
Say what one will about Bea Campbell (much of it richly deserved I’d say) but the notion that ritual childd sex abuse is incompatible with Satanism and couldn’t possibly exist takes the credulity to believe tha Mo Begg and Binyamin aren’t Al Qa’eda terrorists.
What stretches credulity is that any one (right or left) could take Campbell’s accusations of wide spread satanism seriously
The woman is ,in the vernacular, a nut job .
Bullshit. The satanic abuse allegations were made up by social services departments trying to prove they were doing something useful.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse
‘I recall ‘Dr’ Reid making his pontifical statement that the British army would not fire a ‘single bullet’’
I recall it too. It was in response to a question and he said he ‘hoped’ a single bullet wouldnt be fired and then went onto say something else like; realistically that wasn’t going to happen.
So I dont think the coverage of that statement was fair, and people are actually remembering the coverage
Also, is someone from this site going to address Pounce’s comments above?
Furnish us with the links or text of said ‘Dr ‘ Reid?
Hey, Melvin, we’ll address pounce joking about waving a toy in front of somebody’s face and stating uncategorically it’s a joke right after you head over to Gay Star News and condemn them for giving a platform to racist genocidal hate speech. Deal?
“Also, is someone from this site going to address Pounce’s comments above? ”
In what way?
For what purpose?
to what end?
Here ya go, hadnt seen this before i made the above comment:
http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/uk/factcheck%2Ba%2Bshot%2Bin%2Bafghanistan/3266362.html
I don’t know what Gay Star news is or what you’re talking about.
Do you find this acceptable?
I do want to run up to her with a plastic (toy) knife in the high street shouting out ‘Allah ackba’ boy will this green arsehole shit bricks and i will walk away laughing at how shit and piss trickles down her leg.
You are Prole/Nicked/RWB and I claim my £5.
If you aren’t any of the above, the standard procedure is to harp on about how everyone on the site has to personally disassociate themselves from the “offensive” remarks/external link or else…..er something, then after a couple of days of many people telling you to fuck off, you finally announce that you will no longer post here due to….blah blah right wing blah blah racist blah blah little englander blah blah. You then appear to flounce off but, in reality, return with a new user name and the exact same complaints.
Melvin, have a look at the comments on this article before you demand authority over what is and what isn’t acceptable here. It was posted on the previous open thread here the other day, which you must have missed. If you got all upset about pounce’s prank suggestion, I expect you to be all over the Gay Star News comments thread expressing similar concern.
Pounce’s comment may have been a bit OTT silly, but absolutely harmless. Are you equally outraged about people who set up haunted houses for Halloween and all those candid-camera prank tv shows? Get real, please.
Melvin, you must be new around here if you think anybody at Biased BBC is going to be mature enough to address the way some of their own behave. Pounce in particular has form at expressing himself in the most offensive language he can find, and those who claim to want Biased BBC to be taken seriously do nothing but laugh along with him.
Of course, your reaction is exactly what he wants – it’s the attention the poor little man craves. Heaven knows what a sad life he really has, that he thinks hiding behind a pseudonym and being vile is in any way productive.
Onwards to the revolution comrade.
I won’t flounce off. I didnt express any opinon on the OP, the BBC, or any of my politics. I’d never heard of Bea Campbell or have any view on her.
I dont think anyone but the owners of the blog need to diassociate themselves with the comments. I have drawn their attention to them, their action or lack of is their decision.
If you don;t know about nasty-left Bea Campbell and her endless appearances on the BBC you really have no right to question the allegation that the BBC is full of bias.
Yeah Scott, I know, but I thought I’d call them on it this time.
Apparently before drawing attention to it I should have read through the open thread, clicked on the link to gaystar news and done the same to their comment section first. Crazy.
I won’t say any more about Pounce, a couple of entries later he gives us a pretty harowing explanation for his views and he clearly needs some help. I hope he gets it.
Don;t be such a patronising twit,
‘If you don;t know about nasty-left Bea Campbell and her endless appearances on the BBC you really have no right to question the allegation that the BBC is full of bias.’
I didn’t question that here actually. I watch quite a bit of the BBC, never heard of the woman.
