Open Thread Wednesday

 

Victoria Derbyshire can’t stop and won’t stop talking.

She was rabbiting on about Ian Brady much to the annoyance of listeners who texted in to say ‘no more….it’s just giving him the publicity he craves.’

She read out some of the texts and said ‘Their point is that we shouldn’t be reporting on this ….’

To which she added….‘…which is another debate.’      

Made me laugh anyway.

Another open thread….carry on…tell us what it is about the BBC that makes you laugh……

    I’m going to reprieve this in view of the latest convictions of a gang of certain men and the BBC’s news that a certain sermon was to be read at the places of worship of a certain religious group. This appears to be a sharp about turn in the BBC line that such activity had absolutely nothing to do with religion. Quite what this sermon contained and how well received it may have been remains a bit of a mystery. Jeremy Paxman only managed to elicit the rather unreassuring information that ‘200 prison Imams’ are known to have complied with the request.

    So it’s over to Shaggy…

    Cannot complain about the detail in the BBC online report on the marriage of same sex marriage of couples in California, but World Service News coverage gives the impression that it is a triumph for the “people” whereas the Supreme Court ruling has demonstrated that the will of the people is now subordinate to the opinions of a handful of lawyers.

    High temperatures in Arizona – too good to miss.

    The absence of global warming for the last 15 years does not stop the BBC from repeating the lie. Although, in line with current tactics, the lie is inserted 3/4 way through the article – as follows:

    ‘Scientists say the North American jet stream, the path of air that influences weather patterns, has become more erratic in the past few years, making weather systems more likely to become stuck in place. But they disagree on whether global warming is the cause of the jet stream’s behaviour.’

    THAILAND.

    Who are the perpetrators of the murders, INBBC?

    -Because you don’t mention them in your headline here:

    “Eight soldiers killed by roadside bomb in south Thailand.”

    Oh yes. In its final (pro-Muslim) biased sentence, INBBC mentions its “Muslim militants.”

    Islamic jihadists.

    after going through a few pages of google i found this from TAG from a site moreformuslims.co.uk, this was because of the ridiculous amount of islamophile reports
    from the papers, sites, BBC, MSM
    re the absurdly trumpeted by the UK press and of course
    islamophile bbc …. the friday hate hour sermon, in ahem … “many”? mosques, supposedly focusing on the epidemic of muslim paedophile child gang raping cases,(that is obviously the tip of an abhorrent iceberg).

    Whilst we would like all imams to participate in this campaign it is entirely up to them as whether they use the khutba and resource that we will be providing or not. The important matter for us is that on that day the subject matter .

    … hmmm this seems to be very vague in nature , it continues later, with the more usual muslim/victim diatribe.

    We fundamentally disagree with some racist extremist groups and others who are exploiting this situation to denigrate Muslims and Islam by suggesting that there might be a religious and/or cultural explanation for the action of these men.
    The facts on this issue, which we are in possession of, based on extensive research by organisations like the Children’s Commissioner of England do not bear this out. We also have sympathy with individual Muslims and Muslim organisations, who out of total weariness from the Islamophobic attacks of recent years on the community, feel that this campaign draws further negative attention.

    opinion on this? …, why do you get the impression that muslims here seem to be being portrayed as “victims” again in this ?, in fact this same nonsense has been mentioned even in some of the court cases.

    this wasn t in all of the press/bbc propaganda? … was it?

    These gangs sometimes related, often from the same mosque, and in such an abjectly insular community … nobody knew eh!.
    The big problem is, this obvious complicion is so well known, it even gets mentioned on radio talk shows now
    ie bbc asian network .. nihal only yesterday?

    I could even run through this disgusting crimes mandating in the quran, mentioned earlier in this thread, but its not necessary now.

    BOSTON jihad.

    Given INBBC’s political stance, there no reason why it should update its reporting on Boston jihad.

    Robert Spencer, banned American freedom fighter has:-

    “Boston Marathon jihad murderer had bomb-making instructions, jihad literature.”

    [Opening excerpt]-
    “Clearly the Boston Marathon jihad bomber was motivated by Islam. Clearly investigating Islam would illuminate the motives and goals of the Boston jihad bomber and others like him. Yet that is the one subject that is off-limits to investigators, on pain of charges of ‘Islamophobia.'”
