“Al-Islam will prevail over all other ways of life. Look at how [the] Muslim population is increasing in the UK.”  Deputy Head of Carlton Bolling school in Bradford, Akhmed Hussain

The BBC is playing a very dangerous game as it clambers, once again, into bed with Islamists and promotes their ideology.

There was, and continues to be, a plot to Islamise schools, not just in Birmingham but across Britain.  We have an attitude that is growing that Western education is wrong for Muslims…’Boko Haram’….just where will that lead in years to come?

The BBC is not just downplaying the significance of this and its consequences but is actively supporting and promoting the Islamist agenda.

Theresa May wrote a letter to Michael Gove which the BBC quotes from:

In a letter, Mrs May said: “The allegations relating to schools in Birmingham raise serious questions about the quality of school governance and oversight arrangements.”

She added: “Is it true that Birmingham City Council was warned about these allegations in 2008? Is it true that the Department for Education was warned in 2010? If so, why did nobody act?”

What they miss out is a rather crucial statement in the letter:

‘How did it come to pass, for example, that one of the governors at Park View was the chairman of the education committee of the Muslim Council of Britain?” she wrote.’

Who was that governor?  Tahir Alam, who is at the centre of the Trojan Horse plot allegations….and the man who produced the MCB’s 2007 document detailing how they would like schools, not just in Birmingham, but across the UK, to ‘Islamise’ their education.

From the Telegraph:
Guide to school Islamisation, by ‘ringleader’ of Trojan Horse plot
School governor who is alleged ringleader of the Trojan Horse plot in Birmingham wrote 72-page document on manipulating teachers and curriculum

This is a document that provides proof positive of Alam’s intentions….and yet not only does the BBC not refer to Alam and his connections to the MCB here but it also refuses to mention in any article the fact that this damning document even exists and that he produced it….with so many BBC reporters examining this story but none mentioning the 2007 document in connection to it,  it can only be a directive from above that has told them not to link to it…why?

Why would the BBC hide evidence of Alam’s Islamist ideology?

Here the BBC’s Chris Cooke gives a clue.…deciding there is no Trojan Horse ‘conspiracy’ and that the letter is a fake..with no evidence that it is…but plenty of evidence to back up the possibility it is real:

‘The focus is not on a “conspiracy”. The “Trojan Horse” letter is now widely assumed to be a forgery, and appears to have been written to alarm people.’

The Telegraph takes a more balanced approach and reveals evidence of a plot:

‘Whether or not the letter is genuine, much of what it describes is certainly real.

The BBC also doesn’t tell us that Alam has an extremist history:
According to the Sunday Times, the man at the centre of the so-called Trojan Horse plot to Islamicise secular schools in Birmingham had been the leader of a fundamentalist group which had aspired to turn Britain into an Islamic state…

‘Tahir Alam, chairman of governors at Park View School, has been embroiled in the controversy surrounding the alleged takeover of state schools by Islamic fundamentalists. He was previously the leader of HIKAM, an organisation which believed in imposing Islamic law and promoting gender segregation…
HIKAM, which was also known by its Arabic name of Harakat Islah Shabaab Al Muslim (Movement to Reform Muslim Youth), was taken over during the late 1980s by Alam until it shut down around 1995.
A prominent Islamic scholar who had been involved in the group and who requested anonymity, told The Sunday Times that HIKAM also believed that minority Islamic sects such as the Shi’ites could not be regarded as true Muslims.
The source, who joined the group in the mid-1980s when it was first established, said: “It embraced a literalist, puritanical version of Islam and … was very sectarian in its approach.
“They were very strict on the segregation and … believed that everything has to be Islamised.”
The scholar added: “The group stood for establishing an Islamic state and Islamic rule and bringing about the caliphate [Islamic state]…” ‘

Whys does the BBC hide so much information about Alam and his Islamist tendencies?

The BBC is seeking to hide Islamist links to these schools and downplay the likelihood that the ‘Torjan Horse’ plot is real….just as they ignored, then claimed the ‘Muslim Patrols’ might have been provocative ‘false flag’ operations.

But not only that…they seek to suggest that any such ‘Islamistation’, if it is happening, is in fact welcome:

‘Trojan Horse’ storm breaking over Birmingham’s schools

‘The so-called Trojan Horse document…..This was a letter, now widely assumed to be a forgery, claiming to detail a plot by Muslim conservatives to Islamicise secular state schools.’

BBC line….the letter is a forgery….talk of a plot is nonsense.

‘The Ofsted results also support the notion that this is really about a clique of governors.
The leaders of four of the schools expected to go into special measures are good friends, who speak a lot via WhatsApp, the mobile messaging app.’

BBC line….it’s just a small group of people…so nothing to really worry about…however read on and that is contradicted….the parents all love their Islamised schools apparently.

‘The idea that there is no wider conspiracy has support: people working in counter-extremism in Birmingham also do not think there is an acute broader problem in the city.’

BBC line….No wider conspiracy?  Again trying to limit this to a small group of fanatics..again…disproved by the BBC itself as above….’an Islamicised comprehensive school might seem like a neat option.‘

‘So this chapter of the story may be closing’.

BBC line…nothing to see here…no conspiracy, no radical Muslims, no threat to secular schools and society as a whole from a rampant Islam.

However…..the BBC goes on to promote the Islamisation of schools:

‘But there is a big structural issue worth considering: why do so many of the parents support the schools so much?

The English school system’s most important regulator is the attention of parents. Why, in this case, do they disagree with the authorities?

Witch-hunt fear

Partly, it is because some of these schools have been getting strong results. Partly, it is because there is fear of a witch-hunt – and the discourse around this reminds Muslims that they are not treated like people of other faiths.

Discussion of social conservatism among Jews or Catholics does not lead to talk of terrorism.
But it is also surely because Muslim parents do not have access to the same kind of state-funded faith education as parents of other creeds.

At the last school census, however, there were only eight officially designated Muslim state secondaries.    There are more than 300 Catholic secondaries.

No choice

So, for parents who want an education that reflects their own religion, an Islamicised comprehensive school might seem like a neat option.
With a growing Muslim population, this is an issue that will not go away.
Ofsted has no choice but to try to resecularise these schools. But one idea in the ether is that we should open more Muslim faith schools.
That would require a bold secretary of state, willing to defend the growth of faith schooling. It would also mean that schools would probably be more segregated by background.

Once you accept that certain schools are Islamic schools, you can then think about constructing a governing body with proper representation and management processes to prevent the problems in Birmingham.

Remember that parents are the first line of defence for the school system. And, at the moment, lots of them do not think lines in the sand drawn in Whitehall about the role of religion in our schools are worth defending.’

The BBC is promoting the Islamisation of schooling in Britain….a more dangerous and divisive notion would be hard to imagine.

Gove has been arguing for a broader definition of extremism, one that you  must expect would include faith schools and documents such as the MCB’s 2007 Islamist charter.

Unfortunately apparently he lost that argument and May’s narrower definition won the day…as well as a softer approach to tackling the ‘Trojan Horse’ plot.

The BBC tells us that:

“I  [Nick Robinson] understand that Michael Gove and Theresa May clashed at a recent meeting of what’s called the Extremism Task Force – a committee of cabinet ministers set up by David Cameron.

“They argued about how to define extremism. Mr Gove has long argued that Whitehall is too soft on extremism; that it only confronts people once they’ve turned to violence; that you should ‘drain the swamp’ and not wait for ‘the crocodiles to reach the boat’.

“At the meeting he argued for a broader definition. Mrs May, for a narrower one. She won.”

They also argued about how to handle the Trojan Horse allegations. He argued for an aggressive approach. She for a softer one. Again, I’m told, she won.

However we are also told:

But a Home Office source was blunt, telling the BBC: “The Department for Education is responsible for schools, the Home Office is not.”

“They have got a problem and they are trying to make it someone else’s problem,” the source added.

That doesn’t tally up does it?  Robinson reports that May won the argument about the approach to tackling the Trojan Horse plot….and yet the BBC also reports that the Home Office has no responsibility for that…but makes no comment on that contradiction.

And yet the BBC claim May is furious for Gove criticising her when it is his responsibility….

‘Home Secretary Theresa May has accused Education Secretary Michael Gove of failing to deal with an alleged Islamist plot to take over schools.’

Does that accusation stand up when the BBC also reports that May is the one who has decided hwo to tackle extremism in schools?

It looks like the BBC is more than happy to spin this story and make the most of it whilst it can.

For weeks the BBC has been trying to persuade us that the ‘Trojan Horse’ plot is much ado about nothing…the letter is a fake, the allegations without foundation….Muslims are  once again the subject of an Islamophobic witch hunt.

Yesterday that all changed…suddenly the plot is very real, Gove has been derelict in his duty in ignoring the peril, a peril he was informed about in 2010….and May and Gove have had stand up rows about this….according to ‘a Home Office Source’ who briefed against Gove….the Home Office source who happens to be Mays special advisor and who is in a relationship with them an Gove criticised….the Spad who was apparently nearly sacked on the spot for releasing the letter….the Telegraph says:   ‘It was this remarkable bit of escalation that detonated in Downing Street. It was so bad that consideration was given to sacking Ms Cunningham on the spot.’

The BBC’s Nick Robinson apparently mentioned the link on Today but dismissed it as of any importance…‘So there is a personal element, but let me stress: that’s not the key to this story.’…..clearly he was wrong.

The BBC is happy to Islamise schools it would seem…however that might just be the root of the problems…that acceptance of a slow creep of Islam into secular Britain forcing non-Muslims to adapt to Islam rather than Muslims to adapt to British culture and laws is a major problem..

Muslim faith schools lead only to segregation and possible extremism….the BBC’s Chris Cook admitted that in many schools where the majority of pupils are Muslim up to 90% only speak English as a second language…how can that be when they are mostly born here?

Norway’s capital to get first Muslim only school, to teach Arabic and Muslim values

“We spend a lot of money on inclusion in Norway, and now we are apparently going to be spending it on segregation.” the Labour chairman of Norway’s parliamentary education committee, Trond Giske, was quoted in the above mentioned report as saying.

In this video Cook claims the problem isn’t Islam but ‘extreme conservatism’…..of course that is Islamic conservatism….something Cook dismisses as irrelevant….’extreme conservatism can be problematic on its own’.

But is it just a small group of fanatics that want to Islamise the world as the BBC like to suggest?

I have met Muslim lawyers and academics who have turned to Taliban-style beliefs. These men propagate Wahhabism –  the joyless and backward Saudi belief system followed by
Al Qaeda and espoused by hate preachers such as omar Bakri and his successor
Anjem Choudary.

The rapid spread of rigid, diehard Islam is deeply worrying. Yet
those in power, focused on terrorist cells, seem oblivious to this other peril.
For many of us Muslims, this creeping Talibanisation of childhood is
unendurable.

I could never have imagined, nine years on, that the Taliban
would be claiming to have ‘won the war’ in Afghanistan. Or, much worse, that our
politicians and Muslim ‘leaders’ here would allow their twisted ideology to
spread across Britain. Make no mistake, Taliban devotees are in our schools,
playgrounds, homes, mosques, political parties, public service, private firms
and universities. And if we are to have any hope of combating them, we need to
stop this attitude of appeasement and understand why so many Muslims are
attracted to the most punishing forms of belief, suppressing women and children.

Why are we fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan and indulging Taliban values here?

Even if it offends liberal principles, the powerful must find a way of stopping Islamicists from  promulgating their distorted creed.  If they don’t, the future is bleak for Muslims and the country.

What do you make of this then?

Labour’s deputy leader, Harriet Harman, says the BBC should investigate alternatives to the licence fee, in case a better option exists. She told Total Politics magazine that the licence fee was a means to an end, not an end in itself. She said if there was “a better way” to secure independence from the government, “let’s hear about it”. Her comments came a day after comedy producer Armando Iannucci advocated a subscription-based BBC.

WHERE are the Conservatives on this one? Why are leftists leading the debate?

Time for a new one of these, here you go, detail the bias!

It is incredible what nonsense some politicians, amongst others, are allowed to get away with on the BBC.

Labour’s Frank Field came out with a doucey yesterday (6 mins) when talking about recycling unused food to charities and how the systems for doing so are not good enough claiming that:

‘…This practice has grown up [in the past], it was clearly very wrong [even] in times when people in this country were not hungry and now we have people who are hungry in this country…..’

So no one was hungry before the Coalition came to power then?

An astonishing, and highly political, claim that the BBC let slide.

Just a reminder to Frank and the BBC…the Trussell Trust set up its first foodbank in the UK in 2000:

The foodbank is born

Whilst fundraising for Bulgaria in Salisbury in 2000, Paddy received a call from a desperate mother in Salisbury saying “my children are going to bed hungry tonight – what are YOU going to do about it”. Paddy investigated local indices of deprivation and ‘hidden hunger’ in the UK.

Guess the hunger was so hidden that poor old Frank didn’t see it….and when did the fabled  ‘cost of living crisis’ begin, should there actually be such a thing?….in 2003 under Labour’s guiding hand…

Has the ‘hunger’ gotten worse?

No.

The black line being the rise in foodbanks, the red line being the number of people using the foodbanks….a direct linear relationship.

The figures show that the numbers using the foodbanks have grown in direct proportion to the number of foodbanks.

‘…you see the need has always been there, this is about volume and it’s about awareness. It’s primarily about awareness and I would say the one thing that the recession and economic downturn has done for Foodbank is to enable journalists to have a reason to pay attention to what we’re doing.’

The increased use of foodbanks as a whole is purely because of increased numbers of them and increased awareness.

The Trussell Trust is a highly poltical organisation that knows how to manipulate the Media to garner publicity and political support in order to influence government policy which is its intention…….

‘The Trussell Trust mission is to replicate the Foodbank Project throughout the UK: ‘Every Town Should Have One’. This will be achieved by empowering Churches and Christian organisations with the necessary tools, training and back up required to set up and run a successful Foodbank in their town.’ [Trussell Trust 2004 p.2]

The Trust must take active advantage of the fact that they are uniquely placed to raise awareness of the social injustices faced by their clients, to promote and facilitate change.
in recent years the Trussell Trust has developed an approach to campaigning which aims to raise awareness of the issues faced by clients visiting Foodbanks and to advocate policy change.
Since approximately 2007 the Trust has been developing their campaign work, driven by the imperative to ‘speak out about justice’. The campaign work revolves around raising awareness of ‘Hidden Hunger’ and is designed to both raise public consciousness and to influence government policy.

‘We’ve put a lot of effort into marketing and we’ve adapted and improved our marketing and we learned a bit better about targeting. […]So there’s a thing about us and the effort we make and we do plan, we do strategic plans, business plans, we think about it’ [Strategic Interviewee]
 It’s really, really hard to set up your first couple of projects in any replication. […]But there’s something that happens down the line where it starts to multiply of its own accord, if you do the marketing so, you know, our efforts, we target churches and we target the media.’[Strategic Interviewee]

Janet Daley asks the question the ‘elite’ should be asking themselves:

‘It has become received wisdom that the reason for that massive electoral rebellion against the EU was that the people were throwing a harmless tantrum: they were just letting off steam because they knew that their votes in this election did not matter.’

And what do people do next when they realise that their votes don’t matter?

We are in many respects living in an apartheid state…the rich, elite politicians, supposedly representing ‘us’, aided by ‘their friends in the Media’, who decide amongst themselves, regardless of public opinion, how they will run the world.

In apartheid states throughout the last century such elitist, powerful vested interests were met with differing strategies.

As Janet Daley asks, when the People really understand that they have no say in the decisions that they consider of major importance and decide to change that situation what will they do?

What would Gandhi do? What would the ANC do?

Today has brought us two perfect examples of the ‘Establishment’ moving to protect its interests…and all without a demurring word from the BBC.

Europe has seen anti-EU and anti-immigration movements becoming increasingly popular and those in charge do not look kindly upon such threats to their hegemony.

In response the unelected left-wing EU Commission has proclaimed that the UK must follow a new path economically...one remarkably similar to Labour’s own thinking…probably not a coincidence…and more than likely done at the instigation of Labour EU fanatics Mandelson and Blair…..both now increasingly in the headlines seeking to promote more ‘Europe’.

Nice that the EU dishes out pro-Labour propaganda in election year….designed to boost thier election chances and ensure an immigrant friendly government takes the reins?

And remember this?:

EU should ‘undermine national homogeneity’ says UN migration chief

The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states, the UN’s special representative for migration has said.

Peter Sutherland told peers the future prosperity of many EU states depended on them becoming multicultural.

Mr Sutherland recently argued, in a lecture to the London School of Economics, of which he is chairman, that there was a “shift from states selecting migrants to migrants selecting states” and the EU’s ability to compete at a “global level” was at risk.

The UNHCR has decided that Europe should be taking in more refugees…it calls them refugees but in reality they are anyone who wants to get aboard the welfare gravy train in Europe…no coincidence they mostly want to get to Germany, the Nordic states and the UK.

The BBC was reporting this all day on the radio presenting it as an issue about Syrian refugees but then moving on to encompass all migrants from the Middle East and Africa…..telling us without blinking an eye that the UN wants Europe to have an open door policy….essentially if you can get on a boat, train or plane and land in Europe you’re here for good and entitled to all the benefits that Europe can provide…or should provide according to the UN.

The BBC, as with the EU Commission’s intervention in UK politics, didn’t raise any questions about the UN policy and didn’t present us with anyone who would provide any challenge to the pro-immigration narrative.

Curiously the BBC has not reported the UN’s demands on its website as far as I can see….perhaps deciding it is too inflammatory.

The Guardian reported it…but got the story wrong:

Europe faces ‘colossal humanitarian catastrophe’ of refugees dying at sea

The United Nations has been forced to consider establishing refugee holding centres in north Africa and the Middle East due to the spiralling numbers of migrants attempting perilous journeys across the Mediterranean in a desperate effort to reach Europe.

The EU had not found effective mechanisms to prevent migrants dying at sea, he said.

Instead of focusing on ever tougher border controls, the EU needed to establish safe routes.

Note that last sentence….forget border controls…just let them in.  A familiar tale from the UN….The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states….a “shift from states selecting migrants to migrants selecting states”

The UN does clarify one point:

UNHCR Clarification on Guardian Article

In an article entitled ‘Europe faces ‘colossal humanitarian catastrophe’ of refugees dying at sea’ published on 2 June by The Guardian, UNHCR is paraphrased as saying the UN is considering Africa holding centres for asylum-seekers trying to reach Europe using irregular sea crossings. UNHCR wishes to make the following points by way of clarification:

UNHCR is not considering “holding centres” as an alternative to address the challenges of refugees and migrants risking their lives at sea.

UNHCR is calling for urgent, concerted action by coastal and non-coastal states to improve search and rescue at sea, ease disembarkation, ensure protection for refugees, asylum-seekers and the stateless, and halt harmful measures such as pushbacks and detention.

Asylum seekers should have their claims for asylum processed in a secure environment with adequate procedural safeguards in line with international refugee and human rights law.

So the UN opposes any restrictions on migrants, opposes any detention, and demands what amounts to massive handouts to the illegal migrants.

Which all might seem a bit odd…as the UN admits we can’t even cope with the problems created in 1995 in the Balkans….so how can we possibly cope with millions of migrants of vastly different cutlures, beliefs, values and demands?…..

‘The difficulty of integrating beneficiaries of international protection into their host societies in many European countries requires UNHCR to give priority to promoting good practices in this area in 2014.

UNHCR continues to search for durable solutions for those displaced during the 1991-1995 conflicts in the western Balkans and during the two conflicts in Georgia. It is cooperating with the Balkan States on the Regional Housing Programme, which is expected to provide sustainable housing solutions for some 74,000 vulnerable refugees. At the same time 97,000 IDPs still remain in need of solutions in Serbia. In Georgia, the Government successfully implements a durable solutions strategy and action plan, supported by UNHCR. However, 284,000 IDPs are still awaiting solutions.’

So 20 years on and they still look for a ‘durable solution’ to refugees created way back when…..the UN is clearly taking a political, ideological approach to immigration much as Labour did when in power…..such an approach is unworkable and undemocratic and once again demonstrates the reality of ‘democracy’ in Europ and the futility and dishonesty of the UN’s immigration ‘policy’.

The BBC  seems to have decided that there are no downsides to this flood of humanity heading towards Europe or if there are any they have decided to suppress such difficulties in the hope that people will not notice…and if they do they can be shouted down as racists and nazis.

Apartheid is alive and well in Europe…the political and media classes are fighting hard to maintain their grip on power and suppress the masses, keeping them in ignorance and what is basically servitude.

Why isn’t the BBC raising any challenge to any of this?  Because it is part of that class that has its boot on the neck of the People…the People who pay for the comparatively vast salaries and benefits, the hobnobbing with the rich and famous, the networking, the sporting, cultural and political access enjoyed by BBC staff…..the BBC is a bit of a parasite….greedily leeching off the working man and gorging on the licence money whilst sending in the bailiffs or police officers to lock up the poorest in society who can’t afford the TV poll tax funding the BBC grandee’s Dolce Vita.

Gandhi or the ANC?  How will people react when they realise they are being ignored?

As Janet Daley says ‘what do people do next when they realise that their votes don’t matter? ‘

‘First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.’

The BBC have seen the uncomfortable shadow of UKIP and its popular immigration policies upsetting the cosy apple cartel of elitist politicians and their media friends who want to keep the doors firmly propped open.

This article is a rather desperate attempt to claim that the Tory immigration targets are being met…and so ‘nothing to worry about here then‘ about immigration:

A shortcut to hitting net migration target?

The government could already have hit its target to bring net migration down to the “tens of thousands” a year – if short-term migration was included.

Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show a lot more people leave the UK for between three and 12 months than move to it from other countries.

Yes that’s right…go abroad for an extended holiday or to work for 6 months and you have emigrated.

Desperate stuff from the BBC.

On behalf of Biased BBC, I would like to apologise to Mr Michael Stoute and his family for any distress caused by a comment posted here on 30th May by an anonymous contributor.  I wish to point out that the allegations are incorrect and I have removed them from the site.

On a general note, can I please ask you all to think before you post comment that may cause distress to any individual and imperil this site? Thank you for your co-operation.

Channel 4 News editor Ben de Pear has mixed feelings about the BBC. He sees Newsnight as his main rival and variously describes the corporation as “stifling”, “crippling” and “a monster”. Equally, though, he speaks with relish about the level of competition it offers him.

“I think it’s an incredibly healthy time for British broadcast journalism to have two strong, daily broadcast journalism programmes.”

He goes on to point out the challenges presented by the BBC. “When it comes to the digital side, we are swamped. I wouldn’t even call it David versus Goliath. We are like an ant versus Goliath when it comes to the BBC. It stifles competition online,” he says, adding that a good online exclusive for Channel 4 News will often get far more traffic on the BBC website when it is followed up.

Channel 4 News has, he says, no more than 50 journalists, eight of whom will be working online “on a good day”. He says that the BBC has thousands of journalists who are able to work online each day (BBC News says it has 8,000 staff including 5,500 journalists).

“We know that we can compete in television news – because it’s all about that hour-long programme, or that three minutes of television. We know our journalists and cameramen are as good as theirs, if not better,” he says.

“But we are swamped by the BBC’s online resources. We constantly think how can we put this out and keep the traction we have, because it’s such a monster. It’s just a massive thing.”

He adds: “Our biggest priority is to extend even further our digital reach. But we are, in terms of television news websites, swamped by their size, their ability to deploy resources.”

Morning all! Monday arrives and so does this! Let’s DETAIL the bias….!

Don’t you think it a little strange that despite its vast resources and all those “world class” journos it employs (at our expense) the BBC might have picked up on the fact that a French-based Muslim extremist has been arrested on suspicion of having slaughtered four Jewish people in Brussels last week? Still, at LEAST it is bringing us the breaking news that climate change is going to be the death of us…..
