    R5L VD wants to know ‘who is to blame’. Among other things , US UK, she says ‘sectarian disputes’. Not that one major contribution is a violent 1300 year split in a loose cannon religion called Islam.

    BBC Breakfast this morning.

    Apparently the law is changing so that forced marriage is now illegal. This has apparently been practiced by some ‘cultures’. Parents take their daughters ‘abroad’, illegally marry them off, they are then raped, become pregnant, return to the UK, have their babies in hospital here and then go back to the ghettos they have created here in my country.

    The police are not called by the hospitals, no one is prosecuted, it is just ignored, said the young lady being interviewed. This is the young lady who at the age of 12 had been taken abroad, forced to marry, was raped, became pregnant, was brought back to the UK and had her baby in a UK hospital.

    I have to tell you this made me feel sick to my stomach and yet we get the trolls on here nit picking the minutia in defence of the BBC who have no shame and will not name the ‘culture’ or the countries that are involved. Thousands of reporters and all we get is obscuration and lies from the BBC about this cursed culture. The resources the BBC have to investigate are without limit and yet for years they have walked by on the other side of the road when children are being raped and mutilated. Just to be politically correct, or in favour of diversity or whatever rubbish the cowards invent next.

    Well I will tell you what the BBC will not. The criminals are from the Muslim cult and never mind change the law, they should be strung up with the trolls that defend them. If we cannot defend our children we are not worthy to be called human beings.

      If the adherents of a religion – any religion – cannot practice their religion without breaking the law, then that religion has no place in our society.
      Too many times, “allowances” are made – from relatively minor things, such as allowing the Islamic headscarf in school (the whole point of a uniform is surely that everyone wear the same) right through to major crimes such as forced marriage, FGM, grooming gangs and widescale electoral fraud.
      This needs to stop. If we want a united country, then there must be one law and one set of rules for all. No exceptions. The alternative is a fractured country with multiple ghettoes – and I fear what that might ultimately lead to.

        Depends who the “we” in “we want a united country” is. The establishment does not want a united country, they want a fractured country broken up on racial, religious, gender and class lines. It’s called Divide and Rule. Worked well enough in the days of Empire in Africa and Asia and it can be made to work here, too.

          What the elite wants and what it might get are two different things. It has always been a combination of the vicious and the stupid.
          We will have to wait and see .

    More intentionally misleading disinformation on the BBC website, about the plight of girls who are being systematically raped by gang members in the UK. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of white people. Now, victims and rapists can be found in any given community, but this particular phenomena almost exclusively involves black gangs – a fact totally noticeable by any reference to it in the article. The choice of photographs is not accidental or as a result of lazy editing – they have been carefully been chosen to avoid the truth about the consequences of the failed liberal experiment.

      PIcture editors are in an unenviable position, as they are often damned by any choices.
      Thing is, the choices can often be intriguing, but sadly what inspires them on individual or even oddly-skewed generic cases can and will run up against the ‘purposes of..’ FoI wall if challenged. Basically another BBC ‘little secret’ not matter what.
      Given the evident sensitivities and how straying to the apparent line of least outrage, even in face of hard to justify representation, it is odd that actual racial stereotypes were still chosen.
      Never will find out, but how arrived at internally and up to what level, would be interesting. How a Ms. Abbott or Yaqoob may react if invited to comment (assuming the Outrage Release is not already en route) also.

    Out of the blue comes ISIS, taking over Iraq.

    What? Wasn’t Iraq all ‘fixed’ by Nobel prize winner, Obama, (praise be upon him)?

    Bit like the Ukraine, never heard about that either until ‘conservative’ Putin looked like he might invade, (why?).

    Hells Bells! UKIP! What was that all about? Anti-EU parties all across Europe!

    I’m just glad I have a world-class news gathering organisation like the BBC keeping me informed!

    One might think that an investigative reporter from the BBC would draw attention to the conditions under which Tommy Robinson, sentenced for mortgage fraud, has been released from prison.

    ‘One of the conditions imposed on Tommy — the violation of which could result in his being returned to prison — is that NO person(s) who are involved with the EDL may contact him, directly or indirectly. So he will not be involved in any EDL-related activities, nor should any EDL people attempt to contact him’.
    So what is the connection between mortgage fraud and the EDL?
    To me this smacks of the heavy hand of Cameron/May appeasement.

      Do you know what the nature of his ‘mortgage fraud’ was?

      Plus, I thought Robinson had left the EDL and joined the Quillan Foundation (or some such). If he was not a member at the time of the sentence why would they insist on no contact now? Seems a bit fishy to me.

        No I do not know the nature of the mortgage fraud. Yes Robinson had left the EDL. So I too find something fishy here. My nose tells me there is a political connection, someone,say the Home Office, wants to keep Robinson out of politics and they have used this pretext. But this would suggest some kind of collusion. Hence my reason for posting was to express concern that the nation’s largest news reporting organization might ask a few questions. Otherwise, there only appears to be the source I quoted from. Very fishy indeed.

    Given INBBC’s political predilection for ‘Islam + Left’ political alliance, its analysis of Islamic jihad conquest of Iraq and beyond, is consequently appeasing.

    Compare:-

    1.)

    “The ancient Muslim hatreds tearing apart the Middle East: How 1,400-year-old feud between Shia and Sunni sects flared into life with the fall of dictators like Gaddafi and Saddam… and now threatens to swallow all of Iraq.
    “Sunni and Shia factions have been warring since 632AD disagreement over successor to prophet Muhammad.
    “ISIS militants – who are Sunni – have been stampeding through majority-Shia Iraq.
    “But the militants have stuck to Sunni heartlands, where residents are glad to be rid of Shia government forces.
    “Religious tensions are flaring again now that dictators such as Colonel Gadaffi and Saddam Hussein have fallen.
    “Rest of the world – and especially other Middle Eastern states – are watching nervously as the conflict intensifies.

    2.)

    “ISIS butchers leave ‘roads lined with decapitated police and soldiers’:
    “Battle for Baghdad looms as thousands answer Iraqi government’s call to arms and jihadists bear down on capital.
    “U.S. today changed tone on intervention; President Obama said: ‘I don’t rule out anything… Iraq will need more help.’
    “Crucial vote to grant emergency powers was delayed because MPs did not turn up, leaving Iraqi government paralysed.
    “Disruption in Iraq could add 2p to the price of a litre of petrol within a fortnight as ISIS insurgents take key oil fields.
    “Kurdish forces are in full control of Iraq’s oil city of Kirkuk after the federal army abandoned their posts.
    “Iran has sent special forces and a unit of elite troops to Iraq to assist the Iraqi government halt the advance.
    “Iraqi air force is bombing insurgent positions in and around Mosul – 1.3million citizens still remain in the city.
    “Middle East experts raised the prospect of Iraq being carved into three – Kurdish, Sunni and Shiite – by the conflict.”

    The BBC is covering up the fact that Obama is personally responsible in large part for the bloody chaos in Iraq :
