‘BBC Panorama whistle-blower reveals racist and Islamophobic programme
Criminal investigation underway as BBC Panorama whistle-blower reveals racist and Islamophobic programme on Tower Hamlets
I believe the programme is being used for political campaigning and electioneering purposes just weeks before local and Mayoral elections in May.’
Lutfur Rahman
The BBC seems to have overcome its inbuilt reluctance to deal with ‘sensitive’ communities and has set Panorama onto Lutfur Rahman (tonight 20:30 BBC 1)….to investigate claims that Tower Hamlets’ Mayor, Lutfur Rahman, has “used public funds both to promote himself and to create a political power base” and says that it has evidence “suggesting” the mayor has refused “to answer opposition questions about spending decisions involving millions of pounds of public money”.
A bit of a wasted opportunity really…a mere half hour programme looking at one very specific accusation….when there is so much more going on in Tower Hamlets, and all related to one issue….the BBC seems to be looking at things purely from a ‘technical and political’ point of view:
The programme exposes serious inadequacies in the checks and balances of a directly elected mayoral system, particularly when there’s a context of dysfunctional party politics.
Rahman doesn’t like the attention via Guido:
The BBC and the undercover production company, Films of Record, have also been referred to the Information Commissioner and there is now a criminal investigation underway.
….the BBC, he pronounces, being racist and Islamophobic…
[Which must be a bit of a problem for our long term resident race card playing troll on this site who shouts racist and islamophobe whenever Islam is mentioned.]
‘A dossier passed to us by a BBC whistle-blower has revealed it to be in total breach of the BBC’s editorial guidelines as a public broadcaster. It has clear racist and Islamophobic overtones targeting the Bangladeshi Muslim community in Tower Hamlets.’
Not only that but the BBC is attempting to alter the result of an election he alleges:
The BBC’s targeting of our borough is nothing short of a direct intervention in the outcome of an election.
Just as most accusations of ‘islamophobia’ don’t bare scrutiny Rahman’s own racist reaction, they’re white/non-Muslim, so they must be racist/Islamophobic, doesn’t stand up to close, or even the slightest, inspection….the last ditched, desperate defence of someone who has no other argument, no evidence, no substance, to back up their own case.
Panorama doesn’t even mention Islam/Muslim in the web report….they base their accusation solely on particular communities receiving grants for votes….no suggestion it is an Islamic conspiracy.
I guess Rahman and Owen Jones must have a lot to talk about…the BBC being the tool of the Far Right producing islamophobic and racist propaganda.
The BBC though, should be investigating the politics and cultural issues within such communities and force them into the open, especially as many wish them to remain hidden:
‘I do know that many, many Bangladeshis are terrified about speaking out in public for fear of vilification in their own community.’
Eric Pickles says:
“There is a worrying pattern of divisive community politics and mismanagement of council staff and resources by the mayoral administration in Tower Hamlets.”
But that isn’t the BBC’s issue…it is ignoring that ‘divisive community politics’.
The BBC doesn’t report Pickles saying that, merely this:
“Panorama has unearthed some very serious allegations that demand an answer,” he said. “I think the allegations or questions that Panorama raise are of a completely different magnitude to worries and concerns that I have with other councils.”
Slightly different.
Playing the race card seems to be a theme in Tower Hamlets:
Alibor Choudhury, the man in charge of the borough’s £1.2billion budget thought he had a good gag when he wanted to accuse Labour’s Bow West councillor Ann Jackson of being a racist and a fascist. Heck, she was wearing a black cardigan, so, er, wow, like Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts she must be part of John Biggs’s “black cardigan brigade”.
How tasteful.
The problem was she was wearing a black cardigan because she was in mourning for her ex-husband, whose funeral she had attended the day before.
Don’t remember this on the BBC….
‘We’re not CURRY PEOPLE!’ Amazing VIDEO of politicians erupting in Asian-White race row
THESE extraordinary videos show a town hall meeting descending into bitterness and chaos after an Asian councillor likened white colleagues to Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts, while another claimed his community had been branded “curry people”.
Playng the race card is a highly aggressive and political course of action that is designed to put the ‘guilty’ person on the defensive having to deny such an accusation or smear, knowing that ‘mud sticks’……but this shows just how convenient such a devious and malignant method it is as Asian members of Tower Hamlets had previously praised the designation of the area as the ‘Curry Capital’…..an ‘honour’ they called it…..
8.1 Question from Councillor Motin Uz-Zaman on the promotion of the ‘Curry Capital’ during the Olympics:
‘What steps did the Mayor take to promote Curry Capital during the Olympics? What was the total budget allocated to promoting Curry Capital and Brick Lane and will the Mayor provide a breakdown of what this budget was spent on?’
Response by Councillor Rania Khan, Cabinet Member for Culture:
‘The Mayor was successful in ensuring Brick Lane and Spitalfields received the honour being designated Curry Capital 2012.’
Perhaps one day the BBC will start investigating the East London Mosque and the extremists it harbours despite reassurances from the BBC that it is a place of tolerance and peace….
Adherents of a multi-faith society looking for a good news story about Islam could do a lot worse than spend an afternoon at the East London Mosque.
Or you could compare that with what Harry’s Place says:
The East London Mosque: A Place For Hate
To quote the famous philosopher Admiral Ackbar:
‘IT’S A TRAP!’
Let’s see that line from the BBC again:
‘The programme exposes serious inadequacies in the checks and balances of a directly elected mayoral system, particularly when there’s a context of dysfunctional party politics.’
Yes, indeed, it’s that nasty old democracy thing. Far better to have a stitch up between the usual suspects behind closed doors – you know, a bit like BBC recruitment policy.
Even if that were true, it’s a little like saying the Harold Shipman case exposed the dangers of drug overdoses – it may be true but it does kind of skim over the important bits.
Clearly, Beeboids still underestimate the threat to free speech/journalism in an Islamising society.
It seems that Beeboids have no policy to this threat other than capitulation, out of fear.
And this is how society is when Britain is about 5% Islamic.
‘The BBC though, should be investigating the politics and cultural issues within such communities and force them into the open, especially as many wish them to remain hidden’
That of course may be tricky now given who now within the BBC appear to have recalibrated loyalties, professionally.
Looking at the post linked via Harry’s Place is an eye-opener.

Shared travails and all, but the irony of this posted comment is stark:
‘The fact that they are so very much out of kilter with the normal pattern on this blog must mean “the drones” as you call them are really rattled. I can’t remember the last time there was such a concerted drive to down vote.
It becomes all the more poetic as the cluster-FUBAR appears to be between the BBC, Labour and supporters of Luther.
Normally such a claim would be met by a BBC Flokker with a ‘foul’ howl. Guessing this is a different time?
I must confess to biting my lip a little.
I always knew that the BBC were “waycists”……(snigger)
Eventually that venomous cult that the left have been incubating was always going to turn on them…..
Why would it ever change the habits of fourteen hundred years?
I vaguely remember… Brent council… I think, selling some extremely valuable real estate for a very, very, very attractive price to a consortium later revealed to be a front for the Bangladesh government.
Brent also has the highest rate of TB in Western Europe. Bloody cats.
A letter in the Telegraph yesterday said that you where very much more likely to catch TB from an infected human than from cats, badgers and cows.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions on what the next logical step is to protect the British people from TB.
If the Bangladeshis were challenging the Tories for power anybody trying to expose their corruption would be branded by the BBC as racist or islamaphobic.
The “Whistle blowers” view of events on why the BBC are “Islamophobes”…

“Panorama had gathered up on a spreadsheet all the names of organisations that are funded by the council and collected the names of the trustees of that particular organisation and then they asked me to verify just by name whether those particular trustees were of Bengali origin or not. Now when I was asked to do this I questioned the director of how this method of ethnic profiling was fair. I told them that giving an example, if a trustees name was ‘Shazia Akhter’ how could I verify whether ‘Shazia Akhter’ was Bengali or not, as the name Shazia and Akhter could belong to a person who is of Pakistani origin and of Bangladeshi origin? How would that be fair? But my questions were not paid much attention to.”
I personally found the above (the first retort) very interesting. Why? In 1971 East Pakistan voted for independence and in reply West Pakistan sent in the troops and committed genocide (to the tune of 1.5 million ) West Pakistan flush in its success of killing the sick,lame and lazy , presumed that as civilians die really easy, they could do likewise against India and so they tried to emulate Israel by launching a pre-emptive strike against its much larger neighbour.Big Mistake
2 weeks later West Paksitani troops inside Bangladesh ( 90,000 prisoners of war, including Pakistani soldiers and their East Pakistani civilian supporters.) surrendered and the state of Bangladesh was born.
Now this is where it impacts on the Uk, those blood thirsty east Pakistani goons who killed for West Pakistan, upped sticks and relocated to….England. Bangladeshi people as a whole despise Pakistani people, yet funny enough all the Bangladeshi people in power in England support…Pakistan and Pakistani terrorist outfits think I am kidding:
NHS boss faces death penalty over charges of torture and 18 murders in Bangladesh
Tower Hamlets extremist vote poses Ed Miliband’s first big election test
These so called peaceful people once in the Uk, have used the protection of the left (Including the bBC) to allow them to rebuilt their extremist network here in the UK.
Just watching the reporter walking the streets of Tower Hamlets in the programme was chilling – it was like feckin’ Karachi! If that’s ‘diversity’ you can keep it!!!!
Absolutely, how the hell have past and present British Governments allowed such to happen, almost to the degree that we have an independent banana republic within the UK, and that’s not just in Tower Halmets. We the British were never consulted.
How laughable was it that the Mayor (yes the Mayor) refused to answer any questions in council meetings, against his human rights? WTF?
They’re taking the proverbial, high time something was done, they can claim any ‘ism’ they want but action is needed….
but hang on there a minute,the egytian goverment and now today the saudi arabian goverment have banned the muslim brotherhood and have classed them as a terrorist organisation and rightly so,have a guess where the muslim brotherhood have moved to and set up there new headquarters.oh yes the london borough of tower hamlets with full support from lutfur rahman who is one of there main supporters in the uk,what kind of immigration system do we run in this country,ukip are right when they say we have open borders in this country,david cameron has announced today under pressure from the egyptian goverement that they are investigating the muslim brotherhood in london links to terrorist attacks in egypt and to ali qeada in syria,i ask you this question david cameron and theresa may,why did you let the banned muslim brotherhood and there supporters move here and set up there hq in london,is that just not proof that you have no immigration policy anymore and let terrorists roam freely in and out of this country,why are we so surprised then that lutfur rahman and his muslim brother hood type extremists have got a foothold in the likes of tower hamlets and other citys in england,an absolute discrace.
“UK: Muslim London-area mayor accuses BBC of ‘racism’ and ‘Islamophobia’ over corruption charges.”
By Robert Spencer.
[Opening excerpt]-
“Lutfur Rahman, mayor of Tower Hamlets, dubs the BBC ‘Islamophobic bullies.’ This ought to show the BBC that such charges are merely a deflection tactic, designed to cast the onus away from a person accused of wrongdoing (i.e., an Islamic jihadist, or in this case, a corrupt official) and onto the accuser. The irony here is that the BBC is an indefatigable trafficker in such libels, and in other contexts cheerfully repeats the charges of ‘racism’ and ‘Islamophobia’ that Lutfur Rahman’s Islamic supremacist co-religionists and their Leftist allies make in order to demonize foes of jihad terror. You’d think the BBC would get a clue from this. But it won’t.”
