    Anti-Islam protest in Berlin-

    Not a protest for INBBC to report?:-

    “Troupe of topless Femen protesters get dragged kicking and screaming out of Berlin’s Islamic Week meeting after covering themselves in anti-Islam messages.
    “Three protesters disrupted the event in a Berlin town hall yesterday.
    “Photographs show activists being dragged away by German police.
    “They were covered in slogans attacking Sharia law and ‘religious oppression.’
    “Bemused onlookers filmed the event on their phones.”

    Got to love this country:
    A gangster gets shot dead by the police while armed and on his way to avenge the killing of his best friend.Riots on the street, Media opine about racism and the police apologise to his family.

    Young girl gets shot dead in London..nothing
    Little girl gets shot inside a shop..nothing
    2 black men stabbed to death by a gang..nothing
    Turkish boy stabbed to death by a gang at Victoria station nothing

    and all the liberals and black community can speak about is white on black racism.

    Yet when the facts are on the table and that actually blacks kill more blacks they still shout out..white racism.

      Put like that, the moral equivalences guiding certain newsrooms does seem pretty skewed.

    As I hit the sack, in the spirit of balance, I must commend a twitter exchange ongoing that involves one Mo Ansar, that is really not going his way at all.
    And of those well on his case is one Mr. N Campbell. Some decent facts but also pushing the envelope on personal opinion, too. And not in the way (I at least) expected.
    Rather an extraordinary thing to witness, frankly.
