Are they “girls” or are they “wimmin”?
This is the question asked by Rachel Burden this morning on BBC 5 live.
‘I don’t know why I ask that?’ she ruminates, ironically.
I know why.
Nicky Campbell’s politically correct flying circus is grilling a representative of the Miss World competition and picking her up on any little slip in approved BBC/PC language she may make. This is what they do whenever they interview conservatives or people not espousing the Leftist or PC views of which their BBC office culture approves.
‘Would you have the Miss World competition here?’
‘Yes, we would like to hold it in England’
Whoops…. she did it again!
‘Or Scotand! Or Ireland! Or Wales!’
Ah that oh-so-clever Nur-Nur, Nur-Nur-Nur PC correction once again.
There was a time when the BBC was the bastion of RP not PC.
Just look at this modern BBC description of RP.
Try the simple mental trick of replacing RP with PC.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/yourvoice/rpandbbc.shtml
‘Received Pronunciation, often abbreviated to RP, is an accent of spoken English. Unlike other UK accents, it’s identified not so much with a particular region as with a particular social group, although it has connections with the accent of Southern England. RP is associated with educated speakers and formal speech. It has connotations of prestige and authority, but also of privilege and arrogance. Some people even think that the name ‘Received Pronunciation’ is a problem – if only some accents or pronunciations are ‘received’, then the implication is that others should be rejected or refused.’
Yes, as Britain goes Islamic, Miss World pageant won’t be held in Britain.
“Not satisfied with bikini ban, Islamic supremacists in modern, moderate Indonesia vow to stop Miss World”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/06/not-satisfied-with-bikini-ban-islamic-supremacists-in-modern-moderate-indonesia-vow-to-stop-miss-wor.html
I was under the impression that RP was used so that everyone could understand it. Unlike regional accents RP is clear and as unambiguous as English gets.
It’s true that some, stupid, people see RP as a badge of snobbery but it serves a real purpose. By fawning to PC the BBC is doing no one favours by using impenetrable regional dialects or accents. It defeats the whole purpose of a national station surely – or maybe that is the point.
All too true sadly. The average beeboid and commentator just can’t wait to drop the final consonant ( I know it is the T question again!).
The literate desperate to appear illiterate. How the Indians and Chinese must laugh at us.
Note to the beeboid. It fools nobody.
‘Wimmin just want to have fun.’ in the words of that well known Cyndi Lauper song. I don’t think Heavy Burden will be able to sing that with her girl friends any more.
This left wing site can be surprisingly sensible in a way that eludes the BBC:
Can we ‘save Muslims’
by banning the EDL?
You pays your money …
Who can blame the great British public for having no faith in the modern MSM. I don’t know who is right or wrong on this one because after reading such contradictory headlines I went looking for “news” elsewhere.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337208/Speed-cameras-increase-risk-fatal-crashes-New-RAC-investigation-raises-doubts-usefulness.html
There was a debate on this morning’s Today programme on this matter between representatives of both the RAC and Safe Speed. Neither of them impressed, as they simply spouted statistics that favoured their point of view.
I was tending towards the Safe Speed lady until she tried to argue that speed wasn’t important if you hit a pedestrian…
Claude Lévi-Strauss, French Marxist and ‘father of anthropology’ would, quite rightly, be assumed to be something of a BBC hero.
Noble Savage and all that.
Naturally his turn comes around for the Lord Melvyn Bragg Radio 4 treatment

But what’s this? Monsieur (Comrade?) Levi-Strauss had one idea that is thought to be a little bit naughty nowadays.

‘If the West traces its internal tensions back to their source, it will see that Islam, by coming between Buddhism and Christianity, Islamized us at the time when the West, by taking part in the crusades, was involved in opposing it and therefore came to resemble it, instead of undergoing – had Islam never come into being – a slow process of osmosis with Buddhism, which would have Christianized us still further, and would have made us all the more Christian in that we would have gone back beyond Christianity itself. It was then that the West lost the opportunity of remaining female’
Tut-tut
never liked him, or his son, Billy.
Melvin Bragg is easy to dislike but he has redeeming qualities. I thought his programme last night on his hobbyhorse William Tyndale was brilliant.
It was very good, Wild. A flash of light on the battlements of the cultural ‘Alamo’, as BBC4 has become. An outpost of occasional excellence amidst the slanted dross of so much infantilising, lazily slung-together BBC output. Along with the recent prog on Henry VII, it demonstrated that there are some people within the BBC who still adhere to quality TV, & who acknowledge that Britain has a rich, remarkable history, warts & all; a history that shouldn’t be rinsed away by revisionist denigrators with their cultural Marxist agenda. Programmes like these should be shown to our youngsters, not the sloppy, reductionist bullshit of ‘Horrible Histories’.
Made good jeans though.
I see the Ministry of Truth have opened new offices in London.
Expect a greater volume of doublethink.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22811466
-A sensible conclusion which INBBC will NOT draw:-

EDL again.
Shhh! Wait until Tarquin has sprayed the wall before you blame the EDL. We went through this at yesterdays shindig.
He had a few problems parking his Porsche behind Derry & Toms but Mumsie managed to blag him a space on Bond Street.
Anonymous will put the word out once the deed is done and the blame game can begin.
Mumsie sends hugs. Toodles!
“Were you in the department store or in the area when this happened? Send us your comments using the form below.”
Couldn’t resist it. Sorry.
“I was. It was terrifying. I think the EDL did it because I’m sure I saw “EDL” written on one of the burkas.”
There is to be a vigil by Loach’s Left Unity crowd and representatives of faiths in the community outside the burnt shed(mosque) in Muswill Hill, on Saturday. Perhaps there will be a vigil outside this department store which was raided by EDL members wearing burkas to create racial tensions,
I eagerly await a similar response from Left Unity next time a synagogue is vandalized. I won’t hold my breath for it, nor for an equal amount of concern from the BBC.

David Cameron to attend Bilderberg meeting:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22815900
Why are the BBC giving so much coverage to what they have previously reported as a conspiracy theory?:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3773019.stm
Perhaps it’s because Bilderberg meetings never were a ‘conspiracy theory’ and, over the years, should have been regularly and critically reported by BBC news. Little chance of honest reporting from the BBC though, consider the ‘conspiracy theory’ behind that much loved by the BBC meme global warming … I think they probably put their trousers on back to front in the mornings too.
Much as you might have predicted, the BBC puts the anti-car, nanny state spin on an RAC report into speed cameras, proclaiming:
“Speed cameras cut injuries by a quarter – RAC research”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22809291
But wait! The Daily Mail says:

I’m no fan of the Mail’s breathless panic-inducing style but I have to pay the state-loving, control-freak, BBC for unbiased, unslanted news.
And I ain’t getting it.
“Cash for Questions Undercover – Panorama” last night on Beeb 1.
Only mentioned Tory and Unionist politicians. No word on Labour who were also caught.
I have just watched a clip of Her Majesty the Queen being frogmarched round the new luxuriant New Broadcasting House that houses hundreds of expensive monitors which looked like a Stock Exchange.
However, I have to say I did notice just one thing and that was that everyone on view was hideously white!
But I would say that.
However, I did like this reported exchange, courtesy of the BBC news page:-
Her next destination was the building’s third floor, where Fran Unsworth, the BBC’s acting director of news, introduced her to several BBC Radio 4 staff, including Today presenter John Humphrys.
Mr Humphrys asked her how the Duke of Edinburgh was, adding “he was looking well yesterday”.
The Queen replied: “That’s because he’s not ill.”
as someone said – that was a majestic put-down by HM.
No time for a full fisking at the moment, but savor this line from Mark Mardell’s latest “analysis”, this time about how China is going to save the US economy, starting in California:

Hi people, just been away working in Blackpool for a week. It was a fairly pleasant experience, apart from one small thing: BBC North West. I don’t have time to report all of this as I am just about to go out for the nigh. Suffice to say this: utterly atrocious Islamic groveling and Muslim grooming gang censorship and general Muslim sycophancy on BBC North West. Scores of Muslim paedos have been rumbled in Blackpool BUT the BBC yet again failed to mention the religion. Illegal Muslim smoking houses are popping up all over the place in North England where they are used for grooming young girls; Again the BBC failed to mention the words ‘Muslim’ instead using ‘Asian’ and had Muslims being interviewed where they stated that lies are being spread by the likes of the EDL !!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Have to go but will see of I can provide link 🙂 Bye for now.
The report on GHCQ receiving surveillance info from the US’s Prism project is revealing – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22813893. Apparently this has been happening ‘since at least June 2010’. Now what happened around that time? Hmm, I can’t put my finger on it. I really do hope for the BBC that this wasn’t set up and happening prior to June 2010 because they might have to explain to us which government was really responsible, as opposed to innuendo.
And who says the “special relationship” is dead? 😉
If the Cyber-Security Operations Centre was involved, that was set up by “the previous Government” in 2009.

Where a Union is affiliated to the Labour Party the individual has to agree to pay the political levy and can opt out whilst still maintaining Union membership.

The Vodafone story is quite clear. No tax was due. No evasion. Read it again. No story really just the usual lefty sour grapes which even the Mail is not immune from.
Companies are not run for the benefit of government or the general population but to make a profit . Otherwise why would anyone bother.?
The BBC is rather different. No financial constraints other than how much tax it can extort from us.
EU rules make what Vodaphone is doing perfectly legal. The UK cannot change these rules unilaterally. That’s another cost of being in the EU.
If you want Vodaphone to pay the tax you believe is true then vote for a party that wants to come out of the EU.

Yet again the BBC attempts to hide the nationality of serious criminals. Three Polish nationals who murdered a young British woman for her life insurance have been found guilty, yet the biased broadcaster simply refers to them as ‘three guilty of murder’. Even the far left leaning Manchester Evening News can manage to report Polish trio guilty of murder.
I’m sure every one is aware of the mindset & I don’t need to go into it again, it’s just another example in a continuing process.
The Harry Bosco Process – or how to influence an audience by slightly altering the words.
Just watching a DVD of Torchwood miracle day and this process came up of how during the Vietnam war the US government wanted to present a picture in the best light instructed their translators to use similar but more sympathetic sounding words. So 10 000 bodies or deaths became 10 000 victims.
A bBC drama series but it struck me afterwards that it must be a well known bBC phrase to use it in a drama. There’s little about it on the net, but I am aware of the bBC using differing language to report stories which they are sympathetic to, or hostile.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TranslationWithAnAgenda
These are translations that gleefully ignore or twist the original text in order to pursue a political agenda either of the translator or of the editor/employer of the translator. Whereas a Tactful Translation is meant to smoothen the edges of a situation, a Woolseyism is essentially a distilled translation and a Cut-and-Paste Translation tends to have cultural or logistical reasons, a Translation With An Agenda is done solely to advance a political, religious or otherwise ideological goal – twisting or ignoring the original work by falsely identifying villains in it with one’s political opponents, mistranslating a “good” adjective as something more specific related to one’s agenda, or even by simply mistranslating most or all of the text to make it a tract on one’s views. Note that this isn’t a mere mistake or simple unconscious bias – there is actual, conscious intent to make the translation fit one’s views regardless of what is said in the original text.
I wonder how many of these ‘miss’translations are going on in the bBC deliberately, and always excuseable but designed deliberately to put a spin on a story.

‘Newsnight’s pro-Islamic Ottoman Empire political line.
‘Newsnight’s MARK URBAN, ostensibly reporting present-day Syria, refers to the historical Ottoman Empire as some Islamic ‘multicultural system’. Urban censors the violence of the Ottomans from its wars against Byzantium, ignoring the persecution of Christians.
Raymond Ibrahim has:-
“What Erdogan proudly refers to as ‘the time of enlightenment’ was actually a very dark chapter for millions of Christians, persecuted and downtrodden as second-class citizens through the dhimma system. (It was also not-so-enlightened for the Muslims themselves, with the Ottoman Empire of the nineteenth century earning from its contemporaries the apt title of ‘Sick Old Man of Europe.’)
“In point of historical fact, Byzantium was the ‘enlightened’ state, innovating (to take but a few examples) hospital-based medical care, philanthropic care for the poor, and a Church-inspired and led ethos of charity and social activism. The beloved Orthodox Christian Saint Basil the Great was an instrumental figure in this movement, as was the ‘golden-tongued’ Archbishop John Chrysostom of Constantinople. Both (among many others) incarnated the Christian ideal of care for the sick and the poor, and spread that ideal to the wider Byzantine society.
“All this was destroyed and swept away with the Turkish Muslim victory over Byzantium.”
[…]
“Erdogan and Turkey celebrate the Fall of Constantinople, and the West congratulates them.”
[…]
“Every Turkish celebration of 29 May 1453 is a gauntlet flung down in challenge to the West. Each such event which goes unanswered and unchallenged by the West is another nail in the coffin of Christian culture, human rights, and free people everywhere. There are thus many reasons to repudiate Erdogan’s historical revisionism.
“But the main reason is simple: it simply isn’t true.”
See article at:-
“Rapidly Re-Islamicizing Turkey Rewrites History”
http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/rapidly-re-islamicizing-turkey-rewrites-history/
And, of course, to present a false, euphemistic view of the Islamic Ottoman Empire, Urban censors out all reference to the Gates of Vienna, 1683. Let Prof Niall Ferguson pick up the historical story in this 5 min video clip:

Just finished work and reading the news and I come across this pathetic bBC
whiteBlackwash of an article.Woolwich attack: Student sentenced for ‘joke’ tweet
A student who said on Twitter that people wearing Help for Heroes T-shirts “deserved to be beheaded” was arrested after complaining to police about threatening replies, a court has heard…Hassan, an English and politics undergraduate at Kingston University, said she had sent the tweet “as a joke” about the design of the T-shirt.
So a Black Muslim makes a racist (And very offensive tweet) and the bBC is happy to promote it a …Joke. Yet when the person making the Tweet is white and usually non-Islamic, then that person is guilty as..charged.
From the BBC article:
“…The court heard Hassan’s father works in Somalia for charities including US Aid and Prevent which aim to combat extremism.
He is also a former “associate advisor for policing diversity” to the Metropolitan Police. “
So how she developed the attitude to send such a Tweet is really a mystery…
BBC continues:
“She was ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work by Hendon magistrates.”
And the DailyMail has:
“…She also volunteers with charities including Crisis at Christmas and a local Somali community group.”**
So it looks like the Magistrates have sentenced her to do something she was going to do anyway!!
“…magistrates accepted she had not known it was a soldier who had been killed when she sent it.
Um.. so she thought it was fine to behead civilians wearing the Help for Heroes t-shirt, and the magistrates are essentially ok with that?
What the magistrates seem to see in her background as points in her favour are, instead, surely points for concern?

“The Now Show” (Radio 4 Friday 18:30) seemed particularly Left-wing this week. I missed the start but there were attacks on Gove over education, Grayling over the move to reduce legal aid expenses and the Tories in general over austerity. There were a number of one-sided mini-lectures in which anti-Tory propaganda was served up undiluted. There was also an apology for having to state that Belfast was (still) part of the United Kingdom, because of course, as all BBC folk and the moronic cheering audience knew, it should rightfully be ruled from Dublin.
Now that Nelson (PBOH) is back in hospital.
Is it ok if I start to prepare a dance and a song for the street party I am going to hold if and when he dies.
Or will I be painted as a racist Bigot by the left?
Nelson? I hope you are not equating our national hero Lord Nelson with some one-eyed, hook handed, pig snuffling, shite house?
Oh that Nelson. WGAS about him?
And so it begins as guests on Radio 4 are asked about their opinions on Nelson Mandela and he is called a ‘Saint’.
Labour Government, Public Sector Unions.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-22818966
‘National museums in Wales shut due to PCS strike action’
Funnily enough, in this report the BBC fail to decsribe the colour of the Welsh Government.
On the contrary we receive a number of hints that this is in fact a UK dispute.
‘The Public and Commercial Service Union (PCS) say the action is part of a national dispute over jobs, pay and conditions.’
Of course that key word ‘national’ is a little confusing when applied in this Welsh context.
‘”This is taking place in the context of the national disputes over public sector cuts,” said Darren Williams, campaign officer for the PCS in Wales.’
Again some weasely phrases there.
Do the brothers simply mean that they want the UK tax payer to shove some more cash westward so as to give them what they want?
‘”Specifically at the National Museum Wales, they are carrying out a restructuring exercise which will lead to job losses, changes to terms and conditions, and we also fear we are going to see changes to allowances.”‘
Suddenly we are ‘specifically’ back in Wales.
And so the report goes on; one sentence linking this strike to UK austerity, the next referring to the Welsh Government budget tightening.
Never, but never, is the fact that Labour runs Wales ever mentioned.
The dispute seemed very Welsh when the PCS Union previously petitioned the Welsh Assembly
https://www.assemblywales.org/gethome/e-petitions/epetition-closed-petition-signatories_all.htm?pet_id=874&prncl_ptnr=<p%20class="large">PCS%20Union</p>
‘e-Petition:Restructuring in National Museum Wales
We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to reconsider its funding settlement for National Museum Wales, with a view to protecting the Museums services and the jobs, pay and conditions of its staff. The freezing of the National Museums grant by the Welsh Government has led to cuts of up to £2.5 million being announced…..’
And what could be the biased motives here? Well we might take the hint hidden in this local story that post-2015 a newly elected Labour Westminster Government could very well face strike after strike in a ‘Comrades Spring of Discontent’ as the public sector unions came calling on their man Miliband.
A dilemma for the BBC.
Poor old Prince Phillip in hospital, is ageing, and delicate – could, conceivably, expire.
Poor old Nelson Mandela in hospital, is ageing, and delicate – could, conceivably, expire.
