Time for a new one of these so please detail the bias, keep it polite and don’t resort to any form of abuse. The haters want to see that, deny them.

“The New Romantics:
‘Being Fair’ to Terrorist Groups”
by Denis MacEoin.
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4602/new-romantics
A good essay. It sometimes seems as if the liberal has forgotten that civilisation is always in peril. That our comfortable life in the West is not guaranteed.
We will eventually have to fight for it.
That is inevitable.
It is the turn of the world if you like.
Isis is just the beginning.
It is nothing much to do with the past , our supposed guilt over Empire, our failure to do this or that for the world outside Europe.
It is just what happens. There is always a clash of peoples and cultures. When we grasp this reality we can start to prepare and put our world in order.
The danger is that our leaders are in denial or unable to comprehend what is going to happen.
I do not underestimate the driving force behind Isis. Neither do I wring my hands over their actions or even hate them.
But I would do what is necessary to defeat them .
And what that means none of us can know.
It will require all our will and our best people.
J.R.R. Tolkien knew all about that.
The hobbits lived a comfortable life in the Shire, with little or no care about events going on outside their borders.
At least the bosses of the Shire did not encourage orcs to settle there.
Yes.

“Taking the Fight to Jihadists in a New Novel”
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2014/mark-tapson/taking-the-fight-to-jihadists-in-a-new-novel/
Genocide underway in the Middle East but the BBC is on the case with in-depth investigation and questions about the burning issue of just how many refugees are on that mountain. Here’s a thought for the planet-sized brains at the BBC – the situation is volatile, dangerous to investigate, and when people were fleeing for their lives taking a note of names and numbers was not the top priority. Just a thought ..
In other news…
http://tradingaswdr.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/mine.html
A few good points, I have learned.
In the 1970`s my A level results came in the post , then I went to the pub .It was barely mentioned in the media, if at all, whether Emily & Emma had passed their A levels.
Well Emily and Emma did pass, but instead of going to University they’ve decided to marry each other and have 5 kids off the NHS.
No – they went to university and met a couple of greasy, snake-tongued, Arab students at the union bar. They converted to Islam and became terrorist mules for those students, and by the end of the academic year, all four had disappeared into the wild blue yonder.
The latest news is that Emily had been arrested by Israeli forces in Gaza after they’d killed her boyfriend, and that Emma and her fella are directing an ISIS atrocity in Iraq.
6 o’clock news final item, the final test tomorrow at the Oval, the focus is on Moeen Ali and his bloody religion and what a role model he is…
Later we get to hear about Chris Broad’s broken nose, but they forgot to mention his religion…
To make matters even worse it was presented by Reeta Chakrabathi and similar on my local news.
Make that Stewart Broad.
Stuart, actually, but that’s a technicality. I’m not sure that Stuart Broad practices a religion – most people in Britain don’t – though he does a lot of campaigning work for Motor Neurone Disease (his stepmother took her own life as a result of MND).
Commendable, but not worthy enough for the BBC to mention, in their books nothing trumps being being a Muslim.

“Cultural Jihad: The Norming of Severed Heads”
By Pamela Geller.
[Excerpt]:-
“And UK? That’s like watching a massive train wreck in slo-mo. ‘A new low for BBC ‘journalism’ came yesterday as Britain’s public broadcaster tried to interview a known ISIS fighter on Twitter about the Robin Williams film Jumanji. Setting aside that using the death of Robin Williams to try and open a channel with a jihadist is a new low for the organisation, it doesn’t even look like the BBC producer got his scoop’.” (Breitbart).

“Islamic State Jihadists: Once you’ve Beheaded Someone for Fun, Where Do You Stop?”
By James Delingpole.
[Excerpt]:-
“Yet now, here we are in the age of amusing cat videos on Buzzfeed, handwringing campaigns by poodle-haired pop stars to stop tuberculosis-ridden badgers being culled, and private emails being monitored lest they say anything mildly sexist, where suddenly, in certain sections of our own community, decapitation has become the new black. The contrast between Western liberal complacency and decadence – aka the post WWII ‘peace dividend’ – and the Medieval brutality of Islamism could scarcely be more jarring.
Or indeed, more totally unsurprising.
“It’s not as though one or two commentators – Douglas Murray, for example – haven’t been warning us for years that this sort of thing was coming. And what has been our government’s response to this burgeoning enemy within? Why, to try to improve “social cohesion” by making token appointments like the beyond-useless Baroness Warsi – now happily resigned – in the risible belief that the mere presence of a Muslim (and not just any Muslim but a female – check – Northern – check – working class one – check) in the senior echelons of government would lead to a sudden outbreak of peace and light.
“You can imagine, can’t you, what an impact gestures like that will have had on hotheaded young Muslims in Bradford, Luton and Cardiff, fired up with the prospect of going to fight for the Umma with their AK, their must-have Adidas high-tops and their trusty decapitation knife? ”

As the BBC continues to tell the story of the ‘minorities’ in WW1 an interesting Canadian slant on Germany’s attempt to create Jihad.
Perhaps John Buchan’s Greenmantle had a similar basis?

“A warning from the past that the BBC does not want us to hear.”
By Charles Moore
( 2005).
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/personal-view/3618396/A-warning-from-the-past-that-the-BBC-does-not-want-us-to-hear.html
Moore has an interesting line near the end:
“The BBC is notoriously shy of using the word “terrorist” about people who plant bombs: would “renowned Muslim scholar” be a useful substitute?”
That’s a bit surprising as they have broadcast it since:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tkyn4
Why was it suitable in 2013 and not 2005?
I like the Richard Hannay stories which despite their age really zip along.
How the leftwing bBC lies out of its back teeth in which to attack America whenever it can:
Could tensions over Ukraine hit space?
There are only 15 RD-180s (Russian sourced rocket engines) left in America’s stockpile, and if new sales were halted, it is estimated that critical defence and intelligence satellite missions could be delayed by up to four years while America tries to build a replacement propulsion system.
All doom and goom from the bBC, but hang on what this: Those 15 engines represent 2 years of launches.:
“The RD-180 sourcing plan was established over years of regulatory review once Lockheed Martin, which developed the Atlas V in the late 1990s, selected the engine as its propulsion system. To mitigate concerns about supply, the U.S. Air Force maintains a stockpile of roughly two years’ worth of engines, ULA CEO Mike Gass told lawmakers this month. The stockpile was approved as a change to the U.S. policy with regard to foreign sourcing in 2000.
But there’s more:
“We hold a license to manufacture and deliver RD-180 engines,” says Matthew Bates, a spokesman for Pratt & Whitney, which formed a joint venture with Russian engine manufacturer NPO Energomash in 1997 called RD Amross….If Russia were to hold the RD-180 hostage, the Defense Department estimates it would need $1 billion over five years to establish production on U.S. soil.
And there’s more which the bbC isn’t telling you. Space X is a private company the bBC have reported on
Rocket firm Space X looks to Asia’s satellite market
That Space X which has sent a craft to resupply ISS (April 14)
Has over 40 contracts to launch sats into space for private and the DOD. Lastly the US has this:
The X37-B
http://www.space.com/25611-x37b-military-space-plane-500-days.html
All of which exposes the bBCs reporting as pants.
It’s different o the Murdoch press when the BBC does it, I suppose
Re Cliff
(Friends of the singer) also suggested that the BBC, which was present at his address when the police arrived to raid it, may have been tipped off by detectives.
A BBC source said a producer for the corporation had heard a rumour of the impending raid from a “non-police” contact and had been watching the property for any police activity.
‘A helicopter chartered by the BBC hovered above the scene’. Allegedly.
If it was, doubtless powered by Messrs Harrabin & Shuckman back-pedalling furiously?
Better yet, the whole effort ‘could’ actually generate more power…

“UK: Muslim daycare staff bans Christian girl from eating non-halal sandwich”
[Excerpt, by Robert Spencer]-
“In every instance, the principle remains the same:
in Muslim countries, non-Muslims should change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities.
And in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims should change their behavior to conform to Muslim sensibilities.”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/08/uk-muslim-daycare-staff-bans-christian-girl-from-eating-non-halal-sandwich
Two doors down from me a friend who worked for social services caring for people unable to care for themselves, sometimes through age sometimes through disability.
Then they got a Muslim girl, and from all accounts a ‘religious’ (bigoted) uncle came to visit. He insisted the women staff cover their hair, the fridge only used for halal food, the bottle of baileys which one old dear used to enjoy had to go, and the staff were to only eat halal food.
The council immediately imploded and to the staff and residents to comply.
The neighbour went to the community relations which of course is run by Muslims for the benefit of Muslims, and refused to deal with her, so she went to a different town. They did deal with the case and began proceedings.
The senior council staff reacted as they only ever do when forced to and hauled the social services manager over the coals, all the stupid fascist rules relating to the staff were dropped, because they knew they would lose at court, but the poor old dear never did get her Baileys back.
Of course, for most people the UK is a state of anarchy where access to the law is very patchy if possible at all, and judges unpredictable, and biased when they think they might not be in line for a pension or a gong.
When people are able to use it though, the threat can be enough to make the stupid change their minds, just a shame that they’re prepared to break the law which their Fascist mates put in place for them.
Here’s something:
During the bunfight between Israel and Hamas, the bBC reported on a daily basis how many people (All civilian by the way) due to the blood thirsty nature of the jew.
Yet in 3 days ISIS murdered over 2500 people, did anybody see a bBC report of this.
Everyday during the battle between Hamas and Israel, the bBC reported on the stark hardship experienced by people living under the yoke of Israel .
Yet when it comes to people living under ISIS they give us this:
Things in Mosul are very normal. People are going to work and there aren’t any problems. The only incident that I heard of was on Saturday when a plane dropped two missiles on an empty home. The owners had left Mosul two weeks ago. There is a petrol problem as there isn’t much fuel. Cars are queuing outside the petrol stations for hours as they only have enough fuel to operate for a few hours a day. The people here are ok with the fighters. The fighters have taken part in two marches since they came to the city. The last one was on Thursday and people were cheering for them. The fighters said that anyone from the army and the police would be set free if they gave up their weapons and announced their repentance. As a result, I have seen many former soldiers and police going to the mosques where the fighters are based to publicly repent. Most of the fighters are Iraqis from Mosul. There are some Isis fighters and they are mostly Arabs. I spoke to one of them and he said he was from Saudi Arabia. There are also fighters from Syria and Lebanon. The internet has been cut off from Mosul. That means our voice is blocked and we can’t show the truth to the World.
But the living conditions are better now than they used to be. Now all the roads are open and we can commute more easily. Before, the army used to close all the roads in one area and keep only one road open with a checkpoint that caused congestion. The road to my work used to take around 30 minutes now it takes me 5 minutes to get to work. I work in a restaurant and families are coming into the restaurant and you can see people walking in the street until midnight. The fighters are everywhere. They are organising the traffic and making sure that the vendors are not selling goods at high prices.
Really
Today in Sheffield a pro Gaza protest turned to violence when Pakistani muslims brought out a Black Islamic flag. 2 Kurds took exception to this flag and beat up the Pakistani, of course, Plod being fucking hopeless in the Uk, they arrested the Kurds. They then reported:
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: “The organisers of the demonstration were pro-Palestinian and were flying the Palestinian flag and a black flag bearing the Islamic declaration of faith. “This was mistaken for a flag representing the militant group Isis by some local Kurdish residents who took offence. The Gaza demonstrators were adamant no offence was meant. Overall, the demonstration was peaceful.”
Not only has the bBC not reported this, but the fucking British police have accepted what the lying Paksitani protesters have told them as the truth.
And the left say the Jew controls the West.
Hooray for life in ethnically-cleansed Musul, now that the “fighters” had butchered or expelled everyone who stood in their way.
bBBC, apologists for ISIS scum.
And the vibrant lifestyle continues as normal. Tell us, bBBC, what are Sundays like over there now the Christians have fled or been exterminated ?
It’s like saying that Warsaw in 1940 was run better under the Nazis once the usurious Jews were confined to the ghettos or death camps.
If the BBC have to report as if ISIS are putting the words in their mouths, I’d rather them not report anything at all.
“…It’s like saying that Warsaw in 1940 was run better under the Nazis once the usurious Jews were confined to the ghettos or death camps.”
It’s exactly like that. The BBC have absolutely no shame and no ability to understand how much they give offence.
What do you know, just looked up Harry Webbs working history. Guess what? He worked for the bEEB.
What is it with all these people implicated with Yewtree and the bBC. (buggering British Children)
Will Beeboids now criticise Muslims in Britain for their lack of opposition to the Islamofascist Islamic State, now that a Muslim based in U.K has done so?

Have a look at this article (yes it’s from a left-wing site but play the ball, not the man):
http://leftfootforward.org/2014/08/the-daily-mail-wants-to-start-a-culture-war-apparently/
There has been plenty of condemnation from the Muslim community of IS.
The BBC are using a misleading ONS press release to mislead the public about the massive cultural shift in the UK.
I have made the following complaint:
Type of complaint:
BBC News (TV Radio and website)
What is your complaint about:
BBC News website
URL:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-28799538
Complaint category:
Factual error or inaccuracy
Contacted us before:
No
Complaint title:
Misleading use of statistics.
Complaint description:
My complain is that your use of the ONS Press release: (http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/vsob1/baby-names–england-and-wales/2013/stb-baby-names-2013.html) is misleading insofar as the most popular boy’s name in England and Wales is not Oliver, it is actually Mohammed, or a variant thereof. If you combine the entries for Mohammad, Mohammed and Muhammed, which are all variants of exactly the same name, you will discover 7445 examples, thereby making Mohammed (or variants) the number one most popular boy’s name in England and Wales. To leave out this information has allowed you to falsely present Oliver as the number one name in 2013, and to leave all the variants of Muhammad as distinctly different names which do not even make the top 10. However it is obvious that the three different spellings are of the exact same name and this massively distorts the huge cultural shift within British demographics, which is newsworthy in itself. When an Islamic name is regularly the number one most popular boys name, this shows a huge shift in cultural demographics which your audience MUST be made aware of.
There are at least 9 different spellings
Mohamad
Mohamed
Mohammad
Mohammed
Muhamad
Muhamed
Muhammad
Muhammed
Muhammet
Its not just the BBC, the Telegraph have done the same thing and surprise surprise no comments allowed and like the BBC online effort just a nice picture of Prince George.
The real story here is not that the name George didn’t make it to the top slot or that Oliver is ‘number one’ and as you rightly said its the rise of Islam.
Mehmet also?
Well done Ken.
It was absolutely predictable the BBC would obfuscate and misinform the Nation on this one.
BBC wish to indoctrinate us that the Prophet of Islam has not become the most popular name in our Land.
So we can sleepwalk into a Sharia State?
With most of the highest paid journalists in the UK on their staff, they will obviously have spotted Muhammad variants total being about the most popular name, but BBC journalists have been recruited for their left leaning, not to adhere to the remit to report without fear or favour.
Bias is now so ingrained into their system they literally just cannot help themselves.
It is an Islamic tradition that the first born son is called Mohammed (or a variation of that spelling). As no such tradition exists within the wider population this annual survey proves nothing other than that Mohammed remains popular name within the Islamic community.
It is my understanding that ‘Mac’ or ‘Mc’, as now pervasive across the surnames of many a proud Scot, originated from who was the daddy or ran the ‘hood.
Be interesting if and when a few Gregors or Donalds around are found to be less popular in future due to ‘traditional practices’ prevailing North of the border.
But more crucially if any questions from surveys on odd analysis of this by the world’s most trusted broadcaster are deemed to prove nothing because some say so.
Your understanding is flawed.
“Mac is a prefix to surnames of Gaelic origin meaning “son”. For example, Macdhomhnuill translates to Macdonald, meaning son of Donald.
You may come across the feminine version Nc, an abbreviation of “nighean mhic” or “daughter of Mac”, attached to a woman’s surname, and sometimes further abbreviated to N’. There are many examples in the old parish registers, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries, e.g. Ncfarlane, Ncdonald, Ncdearmit, Ncfee, but there are only isolated examples by the early 19th century.
In earlier records, a person might be known not only by the father’s name but also by the grandfather’s name. As such, you may come across the use of Vc, meaning grandson or granddaughter, for example, in 1673 Dugall Mcdugall Vcean (Dugall, son of Dugall, grandson of Ean) married Marie Camron or NcNdonochie Vcewn .
Some Mac surnames originated in occupations, e.g. Macnab (son of the abbott), Maccosh (son of the footman), Macmaster (son of the master or cleric), Macnucator (son of the wauker or fuller of cloth), later anglicised Walker. Others derive from distinguishing features, e.g. Macilbowie (son of the yellow haired lad), Macilchrum (son of the bent one). Yet others contain vestiges of Norse influence, e.g. Maciver (son of Ivar, a Norse personal name), since the Mac prefix was not the exclusive preserve of the Gaels, being adopted in some cases by the Norsemen and by some Lowland Scots, particularly on the Highland periphery, e.g. Macgibbon, Macritchie.
Many Mac surnames are no longer in use, e.g. Macolchallum, abandoned because they were too difficult to pronounce, corrupted over the years by phonetic spelling, or anglicised. ”
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?r=551&560
I am sure that, in the final two paragraphs, you are trying to make a valid point, however I have neither the time nor inclination to decipher the code.
“Mohammed remains popular name within the Islamic community.”
The story is about England/Wales most popular boys name being obfuscated or misreported by the BBC for left leaning, PC purposes.
What is your point exactly?
Exactly – Albaman is trying to duck the issue
The point is as stated above. Not too difficult to understand if you actually think about it.
(Hint: What would the result of the survey be if every first born son in England/Wales was traditionally called the same name?)
As much as I hate to agree with him, Albaman is correct. It is traditional for Muslim boys to be called Muhammad (or variation thereof) therefore the name will always be over-represented in surveys.
What is interesting is the number of people under the article complaining that they are allowed to comment on babies names, but they aren’t allowed to comment on the Iraq story, where the comments were closed after 46 comments were posted.
A bit of a tail-end Charlie on this thread, as it were, I suspect, and well and truly in the realms of ‘allegedly’ (hence any HIGNFY treatment will be a treat yet to come), but BBC trust, integrity and a few other Levesonesque uniques do seem to be suggested:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2725214/Cliff-s-anger-controversial-search-home-apparently-leaked-BBC-Broadcaster-s-reporters-waiting-police-arrived-singer-s-luxury-flat.html
It does seem an area they have a near obsessive interest in, sometimes with amazing watertight oversight and on other occasions almost leading the tab pack charge and damn the torpedoes.
In this case could it be down to those Devilishly to… rough women Jon Simpson says are now calling the shots?
MEMRI is now showing some video of a Palestinian spokewoman from Gaza confirming explicitly that Hamas was ordering journalists not to film rocket launches from civilian areas. This freely coinfirms what the Foreign Press Association put in its formal statement.
Not one of the dozens of BBC reports from Gaza talked about rocket launches from civilian areas, and no-one from the BBC has admitted intimidation of journalists.
The BBC really has plumbed the depths on Gaza. False reporting, continued use of video known to be false – and all the time, denial.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-admits-intimidating-foreign-press-who-reported-wrong-message/
In order to be told off by Hamas, the Beeb would have to have been doing things of which Hamas disapproved. Oh look, there’s a halal pig flying over the roof
“MANN V STEYN:
IF THIS TRIAL EVER GOES AHEAD GLOBAL WARMING IS TOAST”
By James Delingpole.
http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/08/15/Mann-v-Steyn-if-this-trial-ever-goes-ahead-global-warming-is-toast
Mann seems to be allowing his lawyers to drag out the case in the hope that Steyn runs out of money to defend the case. What I would like to know is who is bankrolling Mann in his litigation? A university professor’s salary surely wouldn’t stretch to a team of high priced lawyers?
I’ll pop this here, serving any subscribers but possibly confusing those who dip toes (Sorry, but can’t be helped – obeying policy request):
It seems POETS day has at last kicked in, heralding a good 60 hours of tedium from Staffel Whinge Commanders, who can frankly excel on occasion with logic and irony failure off topic combos of epic proportions.
Interesting twist to the Michael Brown saga. Seems he and his chum had just robbed a store a few minutes before:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-28806313
Puts a interesting slant on how this story has been portrayed over here. Not quite the giant angel portrayed and maybe there is now substance in the cops version of events. Brown looks a pretty menacing man in the CCTV.
But why have the local Police been so inept in getting the truth out?
Good share.
A few sighs of relief in some quarters that this time they did not rush to embrace relatives they never had?
At least the BBc is covering it, and factually, albeit under ‘have said’ rules, often reserved for those who don’t have PR to news unfiltered access to the BBC broadcast system.
Witness testimony, and reliability, now rather key. Without clear evidence fact still a lot in the air, but some folk may face questions hard to answer. or feel a bit daft on the vigil. We’ll see.
Police PR handling seems poor, but maybe this highlights how skewed priorities have become that the news media need ‘handling’ well and instantly to prevent sad but regular drama become incited crisis..
I always suspected the EU/NATO meddling in Ukrainian/Russian affairs would end up like the Bush/Blair radicalisation repercussions of their heinious deathly foreign policy blunders in the middle east.
Now with the daily Ukrainian escalation of the death toll and even Russian troops clandestinely crossing the border, I suspect it is not long before the EU has opened up another disastrous front for us to be involved in.
Even the sanctions on Russia are already having a costly EU reverse affect, but the potential for this all to escalate beyond the amateur capabilities of the EU Foreign Policy is an enormous danger:

These days the BBC seems less associated with news than unravelling the spin behind it. Hardly meeting the ‘report the story; don’t be the story’ rule of one of their favoured sons, ironically.
Of course it is all in the fog of speculation and allegation and innuendo at present, so who knows where it may lead.
One is sure HIGNFY will have a funny, barbed, satirical comment to hand. Allegedly.
Or maybe UKIP will be the greater lure. Again.
Well, there we have it folks. The good ol’ BBC on their Muslim damage limitation propaganda… on the Six News, tonight, they even managed to find a couple of UK Muslims (who came across as about as convincing as Del Boy) who disapprove of Isis; an Imam, too, they filmed denouncing jihad – although he had a grimace on his face when he was speaking to his foul flock. The BBC also kept on calling those vermin scum from this country who support Isis as ‘British’. But we all know they’re not, and never will be. I hope now, that the BBC will be passing on details of these Muslim zealots to the police.
As always, the only thing the bBC are truly concerned with is protecting their beloved Islam. But it’s becoming ever more apparent that it is the Koran that seems to lie at the root of Islamic violence… perhaps Islam is a violent religion.
So is it OK for non-Muslims to criticise Islam on INBBC now too?
I think it’ll be a cold day in hell before that happens georgie porgie me ol’ mucker.
