An interesting comparison.
I wonder how many British lads in Syria will be herded together and shot by their own side? How many, when they come home, will realise that they were actually wrong to go in the first place and that the people they were fighting alongside were little more than genocidal murders?
Blood-boiling title of BBC News 24 report: ‘100s of Brits go to Syria to fight’. BRITS???? BBC on pure and relentless pro-Jihadi propaganda mode.
sadly standard islamobbc fare,
they somehow misguidedly think that they can lie to the audience … BRITS?
We should ask these muslims what comes first
jihad mass murder for their retarded ideology Islam or … the UK ….. and act according to the answer no passport
no nationality and deported.
No one calls me a Brit!
I always get the idea that those who think of me as such are Europhile English white hating metrosexual ponces and pimps.
Beeboids’ disclaimer on Scotland:-
“Scottish independence: BBC suspends its CBI membership”
By James Cook
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-27143426
What about disclaimer to end Beeboids’ pro-E.U. political stance?:-
“The millions in EU funding the BBC tried to hide”
By Miles Goslett.
http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/culturehousedaily/2014/02/the-millions-in-eu-funding-the-bbc-tried-to-hide/
Hasn’t the BBC’s famous impartiality been previously compromised by its membership of the staunchly pro-United Europe CBI? The BBC suspends CBI membership because of the political nature of Scottish independence. They must consider EU membership as being beyond political debate
Just stumbled on this –
The BBC envy of the world- well not all of it
Of course, Islam Not BBC (INBBC) spins the murderous actions of British-based Islamic jihadists in Syria with political understanding and sympathy.
INBBC propagandises from a largely embedded Islamic viewpoint; in its TV news item tonight, there were uncritical vox pops of Muslims with jihadist relatives, but no viewpoint of non-Muslim vast majority of British people who feel threatened by such intimidating Islamic jihadists in Britain.
Also:-
‘Jihadwatch’-
“Approximately 11,000 foreign jihadis in Syria, recruited through social media and Skype”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/approximately-11000-foreign-jihadis-in-syria-recruited-through-social-media-and-skype
Take Beeboid, so-called security correspondent, CORRERA, who vaguely, and politically sympathetically, talked on TV tonight of young Muslims from Britain,
wanting to do ‘something’ in Syria.
What, Correra, like become a murderous Islamic jihadist? An Islamikaze?
A Correra:’security correspondent’? Nah.
For the attention of Labour Party and BBC-NUJ-
“The Co-op Bank is dying slowly. How did it come to this?

‘100s of Brits go to Syria to fight’ – BBC headline.
And the missing word is
(a) Men?
or
(b) Muslims?
In this case, neither get a mention.
surely these are ‘Asian’ men?
Yes, just about 100% of the so-called ‘Brits’ (who use Britain as their part-time base of operations) are Muslims who go to Syria to murder in the name of Islam, as jihadists; and then they expect to be able to return to Britain as a threat to the security of British non-Muslim people! No: keep them out!
Oh dear
Someone in UKIP has dared to criticise Islam which in itself is heresy and has been hung out to dry by Farage:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27151509
Among his reported comments were criticisms of Islam and Nigerians, and a suggestion that Labour leader Ed Miliband was Polish.
Ooooh terrible ! It just shows how much freedom has been compromised in this country by the Fascists and aren’t the BBC loving it !
Orwell ” In the future telling the truth will be seen as a revolutionary act.”
These words by Orwell should be memorised by us all.
And again I quote Solzhentisn
“Let the lie come into the world but not through me”
They will try to silence us and in the end they will have to imprison or kill us. That is the way all liberalism ends. In tyranny.
Thank you daves above!
These are the REAL thoughts for the Day.
Keep them coming as inspired…we`ll sure as hell never hear such sentiments on the BBC, hence the need to get them here.
The guy ain’t wide of the mark and not too far off the hushed dicussions one may hear in many pubs and work places in the UK. Regardless the guy may well be a plant.
bBC Breakfast still persuing the your wife is a German line, brilliantly Farage said “I’m more than willling to offer the job to a Brit, providing I divorce my wife and marry a Brit…”
Ed Miliband – Polish my arse.
Less than two years after independent Poland came into existence in 1918, the Soviet Red army decided it best to conuqer that new nation. Miliband’s grandad (allegedly) fought on the Soviet side.
Polish your own arse.
Holy Cow!

‘The government says it is making “urgent inquiries” into reports Whitehall computers were used to make insulting comments about the Hillsborough disaster.’
For the specifics – the BBC seems content to gloss over the detail having broadcast the headline accusation – read here
Oh, by the way, BBC Breakfast reckon it can’t give details ‘for legal reasons’ – someone tell the Liverpool Echo.
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/hillsborough-wikipedia-insults-added-government-7029881
‘A series of sickening revisions to the site began on the 20th anniversary of the 1989 tragedy, when “Blame Liverpool fans” was anonymously added to the Hillsborough section of the encyclopedia site.’
‘The web of computers is tracked online by a handful of IP addresses, the details of which were released by Wallasey MP Angela Eagle following a parliamentary question in 2008, when she was a Treasury minister.’
‘A further amendment from a government machine includes changes to the phrase “This is Anfield”, which appears above the players’ tunnel at the club’s ground, to “This is a S***hole.”’
‘On another occasion, the description of a Bill Shankly statue on the Anfield Wikipedia page was revised to change the well-known quote “He made the people happy” to “He made a wonderful lemon drizzle cake.”’
‘The words “nothing for the victims of the Heysel stadium disaster” were also added to a description of the Hillsborough memorial at the Reds’ stadium.’
In my opinion the comments are rude and someone may have been wasting time when they are supposed to be working.
And another thing – BBC TV news forgot to mention the Labour MP by simply attributing the story to the Liverpool Echo.
Holy Cow!
I expect this is some bored lowly civil servant, not very bright, and a football supporter of a rival to Liverpool.
I don’t mean this sarcastically, but there really isn’t anything to see here.
But DID he make a decent lemon drizzle cake?
If that`s not true, then we should bring the culprits to book.
If not…the fact that Heysel is never mentioned as a factor in how the culture at the time was so rancid tells me that a nerve has been hit.
Send for Boris!…Hesletine…anyone.
“I don`t know what to say…it`s all so sad”….if that`s not the voice of Labour as applied to absolutely any event that they caused or condoned( from Lee Rigby down to Home Information Packs)…then I don`t know what is.
Better that though that “that bigoted woman” eh?
The Proms, this year – featuring the Pet Shop Boys. Come again?
Neil Tennant on Today this morning telling us all about it. Instead of extolling the virtues of Alan Turing’s code-breaking virtues, it appeared, instead, to be all about homosexuality. What a surprise – the BBC’s favourite hobby horse, and Tennant being “well-iron” as well. That’ll get the”Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells” brigade going.
What have they done to the Proms? Henry Wood would turn in his grave, along with Lord Reith (who has been spinning for quite some time, I suspect…).
RIP Louise Minchin….just been slaughtered on bbc breakfast by Nigel Farage!
Stupid cow.
“I’m more than willling to offer the job to a Brit, providing I divorce my wife and marry a Brit…”
Superb!
” a Brit.”
Is that of one of ‘dem’ muslim ‘fweedom’ fighters who rushes off Syria to fight holy jihad ?
bBC Points West this morning leads with “not enough ethnic minorites coming forward as organ donors”
1) Are any watching?
2) Where did the story come from? No mention of it on the bBC Bristol news website. Is it because the matter has been raised by the Labour mayor who also happens to be the first Muslim lord mayor of Bristol- Bangladeshi Farouk Choudhury…?
Yet another example of left wing idiocy failing to understand what these cultures are all about.
In both Islam & Judaism the command that the body must not be mutilated means neither are supposed to offer their organs for donation.
Accordion to the Jewish Telegraph of a few years ago, an organ harvested from a Jew can only be used in another Jew, but a Jew can accept an organ donated from any other religion. Convenient that!
I used to carry a donor card, now I don’t because I don’t believe the terminally selfish should benefit when they aren’t prepared to reciprocate. There needs to be a rule change where everyone is an organ donor unless they opt out regardless of relatives and religious objections. Those who opt out of organ donation render themselves ineligible to receive a donated organ.
Then we’ll see how many of these religious objections are real !
And that is a load of bollox Thoughtful.
We know it’s not ‘ethnic’ minorities don’t we. It’s ‘religious’ minorities. Religion is not a race, even if the law thinks it is for Jews and Sikhs.
BBC : ‘….conservatism might have drifted into something worse’
[Chris Cook ‘Policy Editor’ BBC Newsnight at 0.30 here]
Recently in my occasional series ‘Credit Where Credit is Due’ I praised a BBC reporter who used the word ‘traditional’ in relation to certain Islamic cultural practices of which the west disapproves. I commented at that time however that this was unusual and that BBC colleagues would soon relapse into the inappropriate and smearing use of the word ‘conservative’. And so it came to pass.
Did you watch this cabbage on Newsnight as he hung about the school gates of Park View…very Savile!
Count how many times he put that word “conservative” in , in connection with Muslims.
He presumably would liked to say radical or Jew baiting, Christian hating….but “conservative” would be just about the same thing.
He didn`t seem the brightest sword blade at the BBC, so I`m guessing it had been written for him…but he said it all.
S`pose the Tories don`t care….and will go like sheep to the back of the abbatoir, awaiting the despatch from the BBC, Labour or Islam…whichever is first to them later on.
Bloody useful idiot airheads pontificating,(with no
clue about the bigger picture), England is not a Christian country UK is not Christian, given LOTS of airtime on Toady
Thats the United Kingdom with a flag that is the amalgamation of the St. George’s Cross, the St. Andrew’s Cross, and the St. Patrick’s Cross … Englands Flag yep! the St Georges Cross.
Perhap s the black flag of Jihad is more to suit these imbeciles.
”St. George’s Cross, the St. Andrew’s Cross, and the St. Patrick’s Cross.”
Many European national flags have crosses, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Greece, Switzerland, France also had a flag with a cross before the Revolution when the Jacobins abolished Christianity, they also desecrated Notre Dame Cathedral, had a 10 day week to get rid of Sunday as a day of worship.
300,000 to 1 million got killed, all for liberty equality and fraternity !!

So, this year, we’re going to be “entertained” by The Pet Shop Boys at The Proms. What on earth did code breaking genius, Alan Turing, do to deserve being represented by these two pretentious, tone deaf pillocks? The man is considered a hero, for Christ sake. What next, The Bay City Rollers producing a ballad for Winston Churchill? Bobby Crush commemorating the D Day landings?
Still, we should be grateful for small mercies.
Billy Bragg was busy…
Easy – they are/were quaire. End of story.
Yep Radio 2 loves them, always a ‘record of the week’ or ‘an exclusive play of their new single’ on the Ken Bruce show …
The Pset Shop Boys are the BBCs dream of gay inclusion, aimless musical banalities that sound important to them all; and an arch knowing northern lilt that is so “Our Friends in the North”.
Musical weedkiller…and like David Frost , seem to have a cultural corner marked out at the BBC/Guardian-without the inconvenience of actually having to achieve anything….and they`ve been boring the thongs off the carnival queens now for thirty years!
Re-open the Dusty Springfield Disaster…
BBC R4 Today this am. A sweet woman from Jews for Jesus was set up by the BBC. She had an agreement she wouldn’t be debating with her religious opponent so was expecting a 1-2-1 interview. She said that and the BBC hack didn’t dissent. However, presented with the fait accompli of 2 simultaneous 1-2-1s (you see what the BBC did there?), being with both herself and her opponent she gave in and went along with it. Well, you probably would on live national radio especially if you’re already nervous.
It’s not the first time the BBC has set out to bully and intimidate interviewees. I think in this case the BBC team wanted to particularly get a Messianic Jew and a Reform Jew arguing, some in the BBC would just love that.

BBC : ‘Homebuyer Claire Bhandhukravi said she found the process “daunting”‘
Any relation to Alice Bhandhukravi we wonder?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2008/06/05/alice_bhandhukravi_feature.shtml
‘Alice Bhandhukravi regularly presents BBC London’s Breakfast and Lunchtime bulletins’
What nepotism at the Beeb, surely not.
The Dimblebys for a new era?
Bhandablimey, I might be right
Alice Bhandhukravi @AliceBhand
@trilby99 yep! I had nothing to do with it though, organised independently by Breakfast!
Yeah, well, certain small districts of west London is a very small world.
“I had nothing to do with it though”
Yea, yea we believe you love, how did Breakfast first make contact? Umm I wonder…. I’ve never been randomly asked by the bBC for my opinion, although that may be because my surname is somewhat Anglo-Saxon …
Hear Patience Wheatcroft, Andrew Sentence (ex Bank Of England) and Sarah Montague fretting themselves about the cost of living in inner London re house prices this morning.
For how much longer are we going to listen to these privileged lotus eaters munching each others canapes, whilst we collect their washing and pick up the crumbs?
All well-connected cut glass nomenklatura, who`ll only care if Pip or Jocasta can`t get their media job close enough to mummys cut glass elocution tutor.
It was on 8.30 or so this morning…sounded like the onset of crackling kindling to me as they build their funeral pyre….and not in an Enoch sense either, for this will be be nasty.
Still think one of us has infiltrated up there at the BBC…why else do they wilfully provoke and pour scorn onto the ashes of careers our kids won`t get-so their spawn DO!
Thank you BBC and Newsnight!
A few days ago they showed the antics of the NUT at their Easter “Conference”.
More throwing monkey faeces at each other as usual, but never mind.
Anyway-two days later we get a new union to entice people away from the NUT.
But Blowhard(Gen Sec) prefers other peoples revolutions…and this one is “regrettable” apparently.

The Times this morning has a News-watch/Civitas report which says the BBC Prebble report into BBC impartiality in their EU coverage wasn’t worth the paper it was was written on.
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/medianews/article4072226.ece
Link to the full report and press release on the Civitas site:
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/medianews/article4072226.ece
The BBC says they are standing by their report – surprise, surprise, when do they ever admit they are biased?
Supplementary.
For those stuck behind ‘Times’ pay-wall , the report can be found at the worthy ‘Civitas’ here:-

Stuart Prebble was Mike Nevilles bag man and cocktail fetcher when I suffered Look North up there in Geordieland.
Suffice to say that such a hollowed out John Craven isn`t going to “investigate” much other than whether Brussels looked kindly upon the Gang Show or Crackerjack back in those crucial years when Stuart Maconie or Jamie Theakston had yet to forge a career…and that word is apt enough.
INBBC doesn’t report this, nor anything else negative about Islam:-
“US deports Pakistani Muslim for supporting jihad terrorism”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/us-deports-pakistani-muslim-for-supporting-jihad-terrorism
-And to report this might assist the political opposition in U.K against allowing Islamic jihadists to reside in Britain.
Imagine if Paddy O’Connell, standing in for Jeremy Vine was to report that “thousands of schoolchildren found unable to read”, say, and to repeat this line over and over. Wouldn’t one be entitled to feel cheated if it were to turn out to be that “four-year old boys in Essex arrive at infant school unable to read”? In other words the ‘problem’ isn’t to do with the general, i.e. children in total, but to a specific small sub-set.
Apparently Britons, en masse are going to Syria to engage in aid/warlike activities. I think not. Be more specific BBC.
A slight aside, but on Channel Four the other night was ‘How To Get A Council House’ apart from all the feather spitting cases features, one in particular stood out.
Abdul and his family (+ parents) had been in the country for 25 years, looked about 40 yet could not speak a word of English. Now because he has an imported bride, has bred and is living in a 3 bedroom house his parents now want him and his family out.
Amazingly despite none of them speaking English they understand the system fully enough to wangle a flat with the help of a council funded interpreter, whom I’m sure was doing more than interpreting ….
You really couldn’t make this stuff up and if it were not so bloody sickening it would be hilarious ..
anyone notice how the today programme’s item on the royal tour of the antipodes `balanced` an objective interview with a bbc correspondent with a diatribe from a supporter of an australian `republic`?
BBC Animal Tragic
Funny, but I don’t recall Johnny Morris ever using his position as a celebrity BBC presenter and lover of animals in order to mobilise public opinion either for or against the Common Market.
Just wouldn’t happen in the good old days of the BBC.
I have previously highlighted Nicky Campbell’s dubious Twitter activity and here is another clear attempt to push a story – and indeed to ferment angry responses – which will only help smear UKIP
This is the story to which he refers
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/04/24/UKIP-not-just-racist-fruitcakes-but-elephant-murderers-too
Now see Campbell’s Twitter blatantly egging on an animal rights campaigner. Note: he seems to me NOT to be asking for a quote in any journalistic sense, or in fact to be helping any anti-ivory efforts in any practical sense – he seems to simply be actively campaigning against UKIP
