    My God – a fairly honest report from Orla Guerin, showing us inside a Hamas terror-tunnel.

    But why did she not say how long they are, how many have already been discovered. She does NOT give the impression of a veritable metro-system of terror tunnels. That would have added about 10 seconds and made the report more intelligible.

    Has anyone seen this on BBC TV – is it getting much coverage, or is it a make-do piece, possibly forced on her by the Israelis, that the BBC can later point back to ?

      It was on tonight’s News at Ten. I noticed she mentioned that the concrete used was Israeli, but how it was acquired was not dealt with.

        Too much to expect Guerin to add the obvious sentence saying that a key reason for tight control of the border is to stop excess cement and steel reinforcing going in ?

    Let`s hope that The Nation of Islam know there is no comparison between black liberation and the evil Islam supremacy now being practiced and peddled by the liberal media.

    “Our mission is to exterminate all the Jews” – a sermon given in Gaza on Friday 25 July.

    If I can find this – why can’t the BBC find it and show it ?

    And maybe David Cameron might have mentioned it in his sermon about how wonderful the Muslims are in Ramadan.

    As off topic as I can get……am annoyed with the Daily Mail scare tactics on the Ebola virus outbreak and the usual frenzy they are trying to whip up that will have all the hypochondriacs out in force

    The Long view on Radio 4 “Through the prism of history, Jonathan Freedland considers our attitudes towards young people who volunteer to fight in foreign wars.”

    The BBC attempting to link the Jihadists in Syria with the Communists idiots who went to fight the Spanish Civil war.

    It’s another attempt to normalise Jihad and reduce the horror of the religion they follow.

    Often the greatest far left bias of the BBC is in the programs they choose not to make as well as the ones they do. So how about a program which examines the past Jihads of the last century, how the Muslims fought for Franco, and for Hitler both in Europe and the Middle East.

    There’s never a mention of how the state of Palestine before the state of Israel allied itself through it’s leader, allied itself with the Nazis, and began terrorist action against the British.

    None of this can be examined because as we know, it’s Labour party policy that ‘Muslims must never be criticised no matter what they do”.

    Today program

    Trying to conflate a banks policy to ban a group of Burlesque dancers from operating an account with them, to three Mosques including Finsbury Park. Again it’s like trying to compare chalk with cheese, one being entertainers, the other suspected terrorists, but to the BBC even terrorism is OK as long as it’s Muslims, and they aren’t the victims!
