When a stray shell from Syria hit Turkey, the bBC reported the story and how the poor Turks demanded that NATO missile batteries be deployed in which to protect them from the nasty Syrians.
This past week 3 boys have been kidnapped by Muslims in Israel in response to the Israeli search for them, 14 military grade missiles have been launched from Gaza into Israel. With a further 3 from Syria.
I wonder why the bBC hasn’t reported this news.
Take a glance at this.

not difficult to find the bias in this paragraph –
In the past, different faiths have used the same buildings but not usually at the same period. Mosques in southern Spain became cathedrals after the Christian conquest. In Turkey, churches became mosques. In Britain old Welsh chapels have sometimes become mosques as areas change – and Brick Lane mosque in the East End of London started as a church in the 18th Century, later became a synagogue before turning to Islam, and has now become a place of worship for the newly arrived Muslim community.
Where to start? The Christians conquered? No, technically they re-conquered. How did the Turks turn churches into mosques? Pathetic from the BBC
No wonder the Muslims are so enthusiastic. It’ll make it much easier for them to locate & identify all the Jews they hate so much.
It’ll just take one enthusiastic Muslim and the whole project will collapse.
Radio 4 this morning has excelled itself with it’s usual fascist position, with almost every program dedicated to brainwashing propaganda about Islam.
Come the morning service which is from Wales I was expecting some traditional Welsh hymns of which of course there are many fine uplifting examples. So what did the BBC choir decide to open with ? A Negro spiritual !
Now I adore the old spirituals, finding in them a passion which is completely at odds with the hopeless liberal fascism of today.
The problem here is the context. It’s as if the BBC want to squeeze ‘diversity’ into everything including tradition. Funny though because I doubt that the BBC would be so disrespectful as to open a service from a Gospel church with a Hymn like Guide me Oh thou great redeemer.
Pontypridd no less.
Heart of the Great Welsh revivals in evangelical Christianity way back.
Reduced to THIS, so they get 45 mins of Jesus baiting Guardian spouting crap-as far removed from Christ as Giles Grazer.
Poor old South Wales-from Martyn Lloyd Jones to the Stereophonics in two generations!
Was it Kumbaya? This may have been a genuine mistake as people often think this is Welsh song.
Lovely day out, so before going out to enjoy it with friends and family who have lives ((c) Howard. D – possibly a pseudonymous poster approved by the central hive of the Vitamin D Martyrs Brigade), in other news…

‘Auntie had already recognised the problem of getting black and Asian minority ethnic recruits into senior management. ‘
As many are already uncomfortably noting (the Graun’s CiF pages a rare treat), problems ‘getting folk into’ senior roles is a dilemma that seems rather unique to this corporation, what with decades of welcome advances in legislation and simply common sense mean such people elsewhere appear to manage it on simple merit. Rather than Lord Pantone’s minions running a grading chart over them as a primary measure of competence.
Which seems a whole raft of ‘isms right there.
If hideously unique still.
Chukka umuna on Marr has the answer to all our problems:

Hey ho! Sunday Muslim Live is back … and new?????
“formidable”? 😀 … “award winning” Sian Lloyd is spearheading the programme’s relaunch.
New presenter. “breakfast show anchor” Sian turns her formidable interviewing skills on the big ethical and burning religious issues of the week,
As well as a new host,
Sunday Morning Live has a brand new look,
broadcasting from the high-tech studio used on weekdays by The One Show at BBC Broadcasting House in London.
with Iraqi Jihadi indiscriminate mass murders.
Syria attracting muslim terrorists from Britain.
Islamic mandated – Christian “slaughter” in central Africa.
Attacks by muslims on Brits in the street, even sunni/shia throwbacks fighting each other in London.
… and even trainee muslim Dr s rushing over to the other side of the world, to mass murder innocents …
or more Muslim fanatics kidnapping Jewish children in Israel.
WOW! … WHAT A SHOW IS IN STORE FOR THE VIEWERS?
well no … this is the BBC
so … erm …
should there be a ‘fat tax’? … guest Dot Cotton
AND! … wait for it …
How important is “style” to a church leader? (are you sure this isn t … The One Show?)
Oh and Ta Ra! its Manchester Day? … Bobby Friction is live.
???
Now that its come out in the wash that over 500 peaceful followers of Islam have buggered off to the mother country in which to murder their fellow….Muslims (Funny enough just like they did in Afganstan and Iraq) do you think the bBC will report that these men were out there looking for:
1) Computer courses
2) Wives
3) Diamonds
4) a way to get off drugs
5) Working for charity6) To bring up their families in a pure Islamic land.
Funny how all those so called innocent men banged up in Gitmo whom the bBC went all of its way to make into victims (And whom the British government paid off) did exactly what these 500 are doing now. Does that mean they weren’t innocent and actually…guilty?
The bBC, the traitors within our midst
Cressida Dick-what`s in a name eh?…has become “diversity and counter terrorism lady” to thwart the likes of jihadists being spawned out in Syria and Baghdad.
This was the flatfoot that wasted Jean Charles De Menezes…and has done rather well out of that unfortunate breach of Health and Safety rules incurred re Mr De Menezes rights to travel safely on TfL.
She`s coming up on TWATO today…safe to say that the BBC and Dickie Bow won`t think of ensuring these Islamist “Brits” don`t get back to this country with their ricin and suicide vests!
No-they`d be out of jobs, and have no chatrooms at the BBC then would they?
Don`t let them back-seemples!
Quelle horreur….
With that woman in charge of anything God help us all.
I expect most of us have forgotten just what happened to Menezes. Many have not.
A county is undone by incompetence and stupidity more than by any other means.
Dick is being looked after by her Common Purpose Colleagues within the Establishment. Have you noticed that no Common Purpose graduate is ever sacked, demoted or disciplined for incompetence or negligence? I think that tells you all you need to know. Common Purpose – more corrupt and insidious than the Masons
Yes, BBC reported this morning that MI5 have said they will not be able to track all the returning jihadists………so what now Cameron?…you are supposed to put the safety of our people uppermost in priority….our intelligence service say that they cannot stop these possible terrorists…so, what now?…what you should do is ensure that returning jihadists are relieved of their passports and turned away, they will not be let back in, that’s it…..you won’t do this of course…..so the first death of a person and any subsequent ones will be on your shoulders, their blood will be on your hands through in-action, and you should be sued by the relatives for dereliction of duty…grow some and start to lead this country.
Funny old world.
Was it not our Teresa, backed by Dave, who banned from entering those with mere words of caution about such people, because they and their supporters (who seem legion) threatened to kick off if they did.
However, by the simple mechanism of issuing British Passports with a pack of cornflakes to theirs and them, actual merchants of violence are allowed to stay, perfect their ‘craft’ overseas and return to practice it at whim.
AND! … wait for it.

Scandri-Lah
What I’ve done there is to combine the title of a fictional far off mystical and harmonious utopia with the name of that region of northern Europe otherwise referred to as Nordic – the latter term having some specific connotations as to the ethnicity of the native peoples of those frosty kingdoms.
(Such ethnic rather than geographical allusions are definitely best avoided in the current atmosphere where certain peoples really must be seen to be absolutely self-effacing)
And, so as to thoroughly clear the air, the invention of the land where the happy inhabitants are almost immortal – as described by British author James Hilton’s novel of 1933 Lost Horizon – predates by three decades the American all girl pop group of the 1960s famous for their rather haunting and often heartbreaking teen melodramas such as “Leader of the Pack”
I digress. Scandri-Lah? Well, it should not have escaped notice that the British Left, the Guardian newspaper and the BBC are more than a little enamoured of many of the ways in which they do things up there in Scandri-Lah.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2012/feb/18/labour-childcare-pledge-working-women
‘Labour looks to Denmark for childcare policy. Party is examining Scandinavian models, in which the state foots the bill for the poorest in society’
http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/02/what-milibands-sweden-trip-told-us-about-labours-tax-policy
‘Miliband believes that the UK has much to learn from Sweden and Denmark, the most equal countries in the developed world.’
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4460098.stm
‘How the NHS could learn from Sweden’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14038419
‘Some have called it “gender madness”, but the Egalia pre-school in Stockholm says its goal is to free children from social expectations based on their sex.’
Clearly there are those who would wish to find a living breathing template for the utopia that they have in mind for us.
Personally, I loathe utopias and am deeply suspicious of those who strive for them. But for those who love them it is naturally much better to point northward across the misty North Sea to that fjord-fringed land rather than point vaguely skyward at their promised jam pie.
There were two things that took my notice recently and brought this Leftist/BBC Scandaphilia to mind.
One was Danny Cohen’s stirring call to arms for BBC supporters and swipe at ‘box-set snobs’. I paraphrase but he said something about the BBC’s ability to make TV dramas just as cold, stilted and glowering as could the Swedes or the Danes. (It’s the subtitles Danny, the subtitles!)
The second was a small thing; only noticed, perhaps, by dedicated Philatelists and Guardian readers. Intrigued?
It was the issue of a certain set of commemorative postage stamps by Finland. Really.
If you were ever pondering what Miliband might achieve post 2015 as PM, as the economy goes to the dogs and the BBC whack up the Licence Fee at inflation busting annual increases, Comrade Ed – taking Scandri–Lah as his social and cultural policy template – may well boast that although he failed worse than Gordon Brown at least he got us nasty conservatives licking the back of something like this….
http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/shortcuts/2014/apr/15/homoerotic-artist-tom-of-finland-official-stamp-approval
‘The Finnish postal service’s decision to use the artist’s bold images on a new set of stamps will make philatelic history, but he’s not the first gay hero to grace an envelope’
Blair rubbed your nose in diversity. Miliband and the BBC may not shove it down your throat – let’s not exaggerate or get over emotive – but they may take the Scandinavian route and force you to lick it.
Scandinavia is not the place it was in the days of ABBA. Immigration from Islamic countries has shattered the smugness of the advocates of “womb-to-tomb” welfare, as those parasitic cuckoos in the nest are bleeding the welfare pot dry.
The bBC claims a fixed boxing match was…England’s shame and racist.
Boxing: When a freed slave fought a sporting star
In the brutal world of bare-knuckle boxing a fight, more than 200 years ago, between a freed American slave and a Bristol-born boxer remains one of the most controversial and bloody battles in boxing history.
Can anybody please explain what context, the American was a freed slave have to do with the story. Boxing matches have been fixed for years. Yet to the stupid cow who wrote this, it just shows how racist England was 200 years ago and that this was controversial and bloody battles in boxing history.
Try looking up the fights of Alan minter,Tony Benn for bloody and for controversial look up when our ‘Henry’ took on the flash black man from across the water. (something about a cut glove?
The bBC, generating faux outrage for something which happened over 200 years ago, with the morals (what morals?) of today.
Tony Benn? …. perhaps “hard knock” Hilary is following
“Dadaaa s” fistic endeavours
Sorry, I should I written ‘Nigel’ But then I wasn’t that far out, I mean I could have quoted two jabs.
Tony had a nifty left hook.
I see the bBC defence experts have been up burning the midnight oil regards the situation in Iraq
Iraq ‘struggling’ against Isis militants, say diplomats
“Iraq’s government is struggling in its battle against militants, diplomats and politicians have told the BBC. Fighters from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) said they seized a border crossing to Syria and two towns in north-west Iraq on Saturday.Correspondents say Isis appears to be better trained, better equipped and more experienced than the army.”
No bBC. they actually come to the fight wanting to fight, the vast majority of Middle Eastern armies the world over can’t fight for toffee, they don’t have the will, which is why nearly everytime they meet somebody who can fight (The Spartans, Belisarius, Christians, The Ottomans, The French, The English, The IDF) they roll over and surrender. Its not about who has the better kit, but the training and the will to succeed. Just look up : Hope ,Faith and Charity 1940 to see what I mean.
“The Iraqi air force ran out of American Hellfire missiles two weeks ago, and in any case only has two Cessna planes capable of firing Hellfires, he adds. “
And like the English football team relying on Rooney, the bBC feels that Hellfire missiles fired from 2 (Actually 3 ) Cessna Caravans is the answer. Err bBC, what about the
Mil 28, Helicopter gunships Iraq picked up in Jan. What about the 60 plus Mil 17s which are designed to be fitted for bear. But hang on, aircraft can’t hold ground, for that you need feet on the ground, I wonder if there is a reason for why the Sunni ISIS have made a swift advance over..Sunni territory.
But anyway, I don’t believe any reporting about Blood thirsty Muslims, as I have been informed for the past 20 years by the bBC, that Islam is a religion of peace and so all this must be lies invented by the Jews.
It’s like Saudi’s massive collection of arms, they crapped themselves when saddam said he was coming for them. Please please Mr. Bush and Mr. Blair HELP.
p.s. They did have that fat general of theirs at all the press conferences and photo calls though.
ISIS have made it clear that they want a caliphate and Sharia law. Their supporters are busy slaying and decapitating whilst praising Allah. But the BBC chooses not to accept their words. Yes. It is poverty and deprivation which motivates them, otherwise they would all be moderate middle class muslims – like Mr Chouhadary perhaps?
From the BBC report:
‘The grouping of fighters that has swept through Iraq to within 60km (40 miles) of the capital is not a nihilistic jihadist group hell bent on the establishment of an Islamic caliphate.
It is a more general uprising by large groupings of disaffected communities throughout north-western Iraq and a product of years of social exclusion, poor governance and corruption by the Iraqi government.’
And the implied answer: smash capitalism and spread the wealth to the masses.

Not a view aired by INBBC-
“‘MODERATE MUSLIMS’ ARE TERRORIST-BREEDERS”
Written by George Whale.
http://libertygb.org.uk/v1/index.php/home/root/news-libertygb/6456-moderate-muslims-are-terrorist-breeders
BBC risible headline of the day (so far): “How inequality drives Iraq’s Sunni rebellion”
Whatever the problem, the Left has only one, banal, explanation.
The problem with the British born jihadists is that we don’t have sufficient carrots at the moment. If mummy and daddy feel upset that their precious son has buggered off to fight in Syria/Iraq then let’s pass a law saying that once someone has been found fighting in such places then their citizenship will be revoked. Hopefull then mummy and daddy muslim will make greater efforts to prevent their sons being brainwashed.
So how biased is the bBC?
When the British Government started talking about so many Muslims going off to fight the good fight inside Syria the bBC replied with an article from a jihadist Mullah, who’s brother was nicked inside Afghanistan, Whose youngest died in Syria and whose other two are still out there, that the UK has nothing to worry about returning Terrorists.
Then after the whole world aired pictures of hundreds of people been murdered by ISIS holy warriors, the bBC brings out an article from Mosel where people explain that they are actually living a better life under ISIS and they even threw in a bit from women who said nobody was forcing them to cover up.
It’s very similar to how the bBC loved to report that Somalia was run better under the jack boot of Islamists.
Even Frank (Don’t shoot I am a muslim) Gardner got in on the act the otherday in response to the PM saying we had to be careful about the threat to the UK from returning Terrorists. He quickly came out with:
“I have seen nothing which suggests that the UK has anything to worry about from these returning Muslims”
Yeah frank, it was that mindset which saw your camera man shot dead and you crippled when you went walkabout in a rough area of Saudi Arabia.
Just what is it about the bBC, which is unable to call a Muslim Terrorist…a Muslim Terrorist.
If any person, without the license of Her Majesty, being a British subject, quits or goes on board any ship with a view of quitting Her Majesty’s dominions, with intent to accept any commission or engagement in the military or naval service of any foreign state at war with a friendly state, or, whether a British subject or not, within Her Majesty’s dominions, induces any other person to quit or to go on board any ship with a view of quitting Her Majesty’s dominions with the like intent,—
He shall be guilty of an offence against this Act, and shall be punishable by fine and imprisonment, or either of such punishments, at the discretion of the court before which the offender is convicted; . .
Go on Teresa, make it a first and use The Foreign Enlistment Act against these ‘British’ men!
Since these guys left the UK ostensibly to fight Assad – who Cameron also wanted/wants to fight, BTW – there’s a good argument that Syria is not a “friendly state” per the Foreign Enlistment Act. Of course, Iraq might be a different matter although whether or not the shambles that is Iraq is a “state” is debatable.
The problem with The Foreign Enlistment Act is that the sentence is a fine and imprisonment whereas it ought to be permanent deportation to the foreign country and removal of the ‘British’ convict’s passport.
Not an INBBC report of ongoing Islamic jihad threat in U.K.-

‘who don’t join us will die a painful death’
One has to wonder if TVL/Capita are not toying with this one on their latest ‘reminder’ letters.
The principle of no option but to ‘join’ is a dubious one in the hands of charmers like this chappie, or the BBC.

BBC very low coverage of the three Israelis kidnapped by terrorists, but quick to present the news when Israelis shoot a Palestinian.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-27961927
Yes! Interesting that. Have a look at it from this perspective:
“Israeli troops kill Palestinian in West Bank clashes”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27961927
As compared to:
“Israeli teen ‘killed by Syria firing’ in Golan Heights”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27963722
My, my, ‘killed by Syria firing’.
Anybody able to tell me what team Dan Roan played for-how many caps he won?
I ask, only because he seems to be asking Roy Hodgson why he still leads England after the catastrophe of being knocked out of the final stages of the World Cup.
Roans presumption is typical BBC arrogance and gob on a stick meaning he is somehow qualified to discuss Englands success/failure.
File Roan under all those BBC “business correspondents” who were nicking from the tuck shop of their prep schools whilst the likes of Richard Branson was creating businesses-for which the BBC chatterati will never forgive him or his trader ilk…which is why they turn into BBC business correspondents!
As for Roan-a dead ringer for Mr La-di-dah Gunner Graham…so maybe he played for the camp concert party at some scout jamboree exchange with Roedean…but footballer he aint, the bald gobshite.
Unless it`s Sir Geoff or anyone else from 1966…I`ll take no lessons from Englands failure to progress…who`s going to tell Dan that there have only been eleven World Cups in which England have taken part since 1958…so 1 in eleven failure rate is a lot better than “failing to progress for the first time since 1958”.
Only the BBC would talk like this-and ask no hopers like Rio Ferdinand and Danny Murphy to advise Hodgson on how to manage a team seeing as he`s been doing it a bit longer than they`ve been talking tarmac.
Gobshites all I tellsya!
Just heard Feedback-or Blowback with Roger Bolton.
The Green Twatterati think UKIP got too much publicity.
Much in the same way that the BBC were biased towards Fred Goodwin, Harold Shipman and Rupert Murdoch in their support for the bankers and the Tory press at News International.
Yet Roger does ask in “seriousness” whether the BBC promoted UKIP too much-and not enough about the Greens, who clearly are as important as they think they are…as if!
Pathetic crap…abuse is not the same as promoting.
The BBC seem happy enough not to confuse those two when it comes to Jimmy Savile…so they DO know the difference…ouanquers d`etat!
I think the BBC did give UKIP too much publicity, but that was only because the BBC believed its own propaganda and thought that if people heard UKIP speak they would desert them. #OpGetFarage backfired.

Given the BBC’s oft-recorded inability to specify such things when national treasure/ hated party top trumps kicks in, our Jezza best be careful who he slags off.
I would like to believe Bowen but he has form in bending the facts.

Chickens coming home to roost.
China: Islamic jihadists killed.
Two reports:-
1.) ‘Jihadwatch’-
“China: 13 Islamic jihadists killed as they attack police station”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/06/china-13-islamic-jihadists-killed-as-they-attack-police-station
2.) INBBC –
“China Xinjiang: Police kill 13 attackers”
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-27953164
Apart from headline to avoid use of words, ‘Islamic’ and ‘jihadists,’ INBBC includes this politically weasel sentence late on to appease Islamic interests:-
“Activists have accused Beijing of exaggerating the threat from Uighur separatists to justify a crackdown on the Uighurs’ religious and cultural freedoms.”
Who are these vaguely termed INBBC “activists”? – Islamic jihadists.
Of course the Chinese authorities are exaggerating – it is perfectly normal for a bunch of men to attack a police station with explosives. The BBC naturally defend the poor jihadists, shame on the Chinese authorities !
I heard the BBC news headlines on Radio 2 describe how the 2 British muslim ISIS terrorists went to the same ‘catholic 6th form college’. No mention of any mosque or madrassa so I guess it was those pesky Catholics to blame for making them terrorists and nothing to do with the Religion of Peace.
The BBC has more resources to devote to a proper investigation than any other news organisation. Will they dig into the mosques and madrassas in Cardiff that might have been involved in these multiple cases of jihadism – or will they turn their usual blind eye ?
No prizes for guessing
We have a “Catholic” sixth form college in our town where over a quarter of the pupils are Muslims, so it’s not that unusual.
We have a very new Jewish high school which is just getting off the ground. At the moment it is 50% Jewish and 50% Sikh, and do you know what ? it works brilliantly.
‘Disconnected’ UKIP voters do not know how to use the internet or send emails, claims Labour’s Chuka Umunna
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2665102/UKIP-voters-not-know-use-internet-send-emails-claims-Labours-Chuka-Umunna.html
No mention at all on the BBC news website about this gaffe.
Imagine if Nigel Farage or David Cameron had made the same ignorant comment about Labour voters…
OT (though noting the BBC’s astounding uncuriosity when a shadow minister appears to make some pretty wild claims unchallenged by his BBC facilitators), but from making a #hashtag of just about every social media outing they’ve made thus far, from anything with ‘Ed’ in it to owls, for a Labour bigwig to raise competence in this area seems… brave.
Lucky the BBC knows when to keep schtum.
Clearly it must have been the fairies up-ticking all those pro-UKIP comments on Guido, The Mail and the Telegraph. Real UKIP supporters would have been in their mud huts sharpening flints.
And Labour seriously believes this imbecile is a future vote-winner?

Oops see this is already mentioned.
I wrote to Mr. Umunna thus, this morning – by E mail, of course:
“…Good morning, Mr. Umunna.
I just thought you’d like to know that I am XX years old, fully computer literate, can programme, network, and, oh, write E mails, too.
By the way, I am a UKIP supporter (and became a member, too, recently), and for my sins live in France – a move I made reluctantly in 2007 to escape the pit of ordure the country of my birth was descending into, thanks to Labour, New Labour, or whatever you lot were calling yourselves, then.
With hindsight, I am relieved that I made such a move when I did, because between you and the other lot (you know – the LibDems and so-called “conservatives”), you’ve wrecked the Former UK, and turned it into some sort of sad, foreign ghetto, where a lack of education is rife, the Health “Service” (once a source of pride) has become a global joke, and the freedom of thought seems to have disappeared – in fact most freedoms seem to have disappeared.
I hope you are proud of yourselves. I shan’t be coming back.
Oh, and do try and get yourself a new “leader” – the current one has all the charisma of a robot.
(my name)
By the way, I was able to write this all on my own, without recourse to a thesaurus, or spelling checker, or juvenile helper – largely because MY education occurred when education meant something….”
_______________________
As a follow up, I have received a mis-spelled automatic response from Mr. Umunna’s “office”, informing me that he won’t be replying unless I reside in the Streatham constituency…
Here is a useful debate where the lefties – including media like the BBC – to stop trying to make the Muslims the victims, to stop pretending the “moderate” Muslims are in any way effective in controlling the animal behaviour of the jihadists, to stop the PC blindness because it is so dangerous.
With a lot of condemnation of Obama o n Iraq.

Up early for my dose of BBC bias. R4 ‘On this day’ described trouble some years ago in Burnley between whites and Asians. Guess who was to blame? The BBC has an unnamed man with a foreign accent saying how it was a loud late night party by a white family which led to the trouble. Mmmm, somehow now I just don’t trust the BBC so time to check.
“Firstly there was the nightclub violence. Then a fight outside a house in Francis Street, Daneshouse, when a white man was stabbed in an argument with Asian neighbours.”

The BBC bias is relentless.
“Richard Ayre reappointed to the BBC Trust”
“Biographical details
“After a career as a broadcasting journalist, in Northern Ireland and in London, Richard Ayre spent 8 years as a founder board member of the Food Standards Agency. In 2008 he joined Ofcom, becoming chairman of its programme complaints board. He chaired the freedom of expression charity Article 19 and for the past 13 years has been freedom of information adjudicator for The Law Society. He left Ofcom to join the BBC Trust in 2010. He now lives on the Isle of Dogs in East London with his partner, the artist Guy Burch.”

He’ll fit right in.
Not if he believes in freedom of expression, he won’t.
‘chairman of its programme complaints board’
That being the one that is now at the end of the BBC CECUTT system, which meets internally, in secret, and takes witness statements from BBC staff before finding the BBC gets it about right 99.99% of the time?
That one?
‘or the past 13 years has been freedom of information adjudicator for The Law Society’
The law the BBC considers a vital tool in holding all abuses to account until it has to itself, at which point it will throw as much as it takes (manpower or money) to prevent anything get out?
That one?
Fit in? He helped design it.
not bbc but on channel 5’s the wright stuff allibi brown is on now feeling the lefty love from wright and katy brand. She really has a bee in her bonnet about men.
After the absurd denials about anyone knowing anything
about the latest UK exports to jihadi terrorists in Iraq/Afghanistan
“never dun it before, incredibly disturbing, tinternet wot dun it, we so upset” etc
It turns out, this news has been common knowledge in the “community” for months … reports BBC radio news
says a lot about A/. the families, and B/. that …”community”
Subversive deceit rife in said “community”, is both mandated, and exposed time and time again
…. but hey … no problem
… what could go wrong eh!
more classic BBC reporting
“Dr Suraj Lakhan, from Cardiff University, who recently completed his doctorate entitled: ‘A Social Analysis of Radicalisation in the UK’ said there was a radicalisation problem in Cardiff … (gravy-trainer?)
but not from the mosques. ( :-D)
“There’s been a threat for a while, and it’s still ongoing,” he told Oliver Hides on BBC Radio Wales’ Good Morning Wales.
“There’s nothing happening with the mosques, (:-D)
very little radicalisation happens with mosques now. (:-D)
The internet has a role to play but a lot of it is face-to-face interaction.”
(think the message here is, don t look at the mosques)
… think we should check the mosques as a matter of urgency – don t you …
I think I will form a ‘community’ too, they seem very popular nowadays.
Let me see now what sort of ‘community’ shall I form?
I know, I’ll form a ‘community’ of patriots who will fight for British rights, customs and culture. We will invite like-minded people from around the world to speak at our meetings. Sing a few patriotic songs and end up with God Save the Queen of course. Anyone of any colour or creed can join as long as they put England and Britain first and promise not to set up or encourage anti-British groups that let of bombs here or even go abroad to fight for terrorist gangs or stuff like that.
Let me see though, what can I call this ‘community’? Perhaps the Community of Britain League or The Nation of British People. Anyway something like that and of course the BBC will be on my side won’t it?
What chance do you think there is of success?
helpful as ever 😀
here you are OT first one in your new organisation.
Here’s a question for all of you and the researchers at the BBC. Has anyone approached the Muslim Council of Britain to ask if they condemn outright, the actions of those travelling from Great Britain out to Syria, Iraq and other places to commit terrorism and mayhem in the east and in this country ? Over to you BBC news hounds.
Frankie boy, on news at one
“many of these returning from syria will decide, I’ve done my bit and now will get back to a normal life”
hehe wtf planet do these bBC clowns inhabit?
Depends what the lads consider a “normal life”.
Maybe Frank best steer clear of any Boots or Superdrug stores round Sheffield for a while when collecting his meds, in case any feel ‘home’ isn’t quite as they’d like it to be.
Tweet from Robert Peston:
Sentencing of Al Jazeera 3 is an assault on all journalists. Vital that Egypt understands it has made itself a pariah
A noble sentiment, but hardly a politically neutral one.
And it’s a shame that he doesn’t show the same concern for people jailed for thought crimes in this country…
Jeff
‘A noble sentiment, but hardly a politically neutral one’
Indeed.
Frankly I can see why any journalist would be appalled; I would be.
I can see why they’d be angry; I would be.
I can see why they would seek to express their anger; I would.
However, there is such a thing as professional integrity.
When reporting strays past analysis to advocacy they have ceased to become valid journalists.
Which is also fine, except when expecting all the bits ‘n bobs that role also enjoys to stay in place too.
There are, also, as you say, the oddly variable aspects to their outrage. Some worse things have happened and no global wailing, knashing of teeth or rending of vestments.
Often, it’s more a bit of a ‘not news’ day ((c) A. Newsroom Tealady).
Seems Egypt in for a pretty rough ride until the right kind of journo is getting raped in the streets while George, Jezza & Huw sample the minibar toasting the Arab Springtheylike from the Tahir Square Hilton.

“A court in Cairo convicted Peter Greste, Mohamed Fahmy and Baher Mohamed of spreading false news and supporting the now banned Islamist group.”
Yes, I can see why a BBC journalist might feel threatened by that sort of precedent.
In the spirit of balance, these may be worth a follow:

I shall be fascinated as to how both CECUTT and these guys address what seems some very grumpy punters.
They can’t very well say ‘we thought it looked a bit off starting at our front door so decided to play it down’, or ‘how’s about that for a noble sacrifice on the altar of our objectivity to show we’re not always 100% behind you guys’.
So I’m guessing a waffle and/or maybe a GIAR serve.
Usually they trot these out to the home sides quite quickly, so worth a follow.
