    There was a little gem from Rithula Shah on The World Tonight on Tuesday, near the end.

    A former military chief had been making the case for strong national defence, citing a Roman saying about preparing for war in order to live in peace. The opinion piece, which even included a brief opposing comment from “Gorgeous George” Galloway about the redundancy of NATO in today’s world, ended and the presenter, unable to contain her disagreement with it, said that it was “… a PERSONAL view …” with a fairly heavy emphasis on the word which I have capitalized.

    She could have kept quiet and privately disagreed, of course, but she seemed to want to signal to listeners that they could safely discount what had been said, as it was his “personal” view and not the correct BBC-standard one.

    Anybody else pissed off with the 24/7 coverage of the poor parents of that poor child from the bBC. Now before I go on, I am over the moon they have been released and back with their child.
    My gripe, is the bBC was first off the block in demonising these parents and now they openly parade them as…victims.

    In fact something similar transpired in Rotherham, where the bBC for years castigated anybody who exposed this as racist and must be silenced.

      I noticed the complete volte farce [sic] as the BBC jumped to put itself on the side of the angels once it was overwhelmingly clear that the parents weren’t the international criminals which the European man hunt suggested.
      Still, it did help stop a head of steam building about events in Rotherham. That story now doesn’t even feature on the BBC news website home page. On the England page there’s just a link to a Rotherham related story but where the BBC is trying to make the focus of the story the police, not the offenders.
      I know a bit of your background Pounce. Don’t you think Rotherham voters will be voting UKIP in droves just to turf Labour out? Provided there aren’t too many postal votes to be weighed that is.

        I’ve lived in Germany and I couldn’t help but notice that the Eastern half was extremely racist and I wondered why. It transpired that during the communist era, Blacks browns were encouraged to come to live,work,train,learn in the East without once asking the locals. When the wall came down their ugly racist views came to the fore. Now I’m not saying all East Germans are evil racist bigots, but there’s a bloody lot.

        And then I saw the same thing happening in the UK.

        Its a disgrace that in trying to stamp out racism, the left build the perfect conditions for it to grow.

      “Moderate Islam isn’t what most Muslims believe. It’s what most liberals believe that Muslims believe.
      The new multicultural theology of the West is moderate Islam. Moderate Islam is the perfect religion for a secular age since it isn’t a religion at all.

      Take Islam, turn it inside out and you have moderate Islam.
      Take a Muslim who hasn’t been inside a mosque in a year, who can name the entire starting lineup of the San Diego Chargers, but can’t name Mohammed’s companions and you have a moderate Muslim.
      Or more accurately, a secular Muslim.”

      • Doublethinker says:

        The ruling elites in the UK keep trying to play down the connection between, the ever growing list of atrocities committed at home and abroad by Muslims, and the religion of Islam, because they fear widespread civil unrest at best, and outright civil war at worst, in the UK, if the native Brits decide that they have had enough and turn on the Muslims. The BBC is a key player in passifying the Brits because it is so dominant it can keep control of the news agenda and create a mindset which accepts this policy of multiculturalism. The last thing the rulers want is for us to be told the truth about what multiculturalism is doing to our country. And they will do everything possible to prevent anyone saying that the future is bleak.
        Unfortunately the elite don’t have any plan for how to defuse this ticking bomb. Perhaps they believe that if they can keep the lid on things the problem will eventually solve itself. Lee Rigby , the girls in Rotherham and elsewhere, those who died n 2005 in London , are a necessary price in their eyes in order to prevent a confrontation between the two communities.
        But their strategy doesn’t seem to be working. The Muslims rather than being integrated and accepting British values and settling down to live peacefully in our midst are going their own way and setting up Islamic parts of the UK. This in turn spawns radicals who totally reject our values and believe that the imposition of fundamentalist Islamic values on our society is their mission from God.
        Someone needs to find a way defusing this bomb or it will surely detonate in the future and then we will all be badly affected.

        I’ve never met a ‘moderate muslim’. I’ve spoken with westernised young muslims born in the UK who have professional careers relying on British commerce and industry.

        When the subject of 9/11 is introduced in conversation, there’s a moments pause and either no comment or something about Bush being involved or something non-descript and bland. But never any condemnation.

        The Imams in Britain have spoken of their disapproval of ISIS/IS and their caliphate. What they mean is that events are moving too fast and could inhibit the Imams greater political control of Britain. This has been progressing very nicely for the Imams over the past 15 years.

        The last thing the Imams want is for the rise of a new and strong British government in the wake of ISIS that could end their comfortable status-quo.

    BBC gettign very agitated about ‘hate crimes’ against eastern European families in Belfast.

    Their bias is clear when they attempt to blame Loyalists for them, based only on the argument that more (not all) of these ‘crimes’ have been in Loyalist areas.

    Perhaps the fact that Poles are Catholics restrains the Catholic population, but I doubt they welcome the invasion from Eastern Europe, any more than Prods do!

    The man from the CPS throws Guardian light on Rotherham. Its very complicated, not religion or ethnicity but class plays a part, and the fact that some people work in the night time economy. Our man from the CPS successfully prosecuted the Rochdale rape gangs, so I guess he knows best. But something about Rochdale still leaves a nasty taste: given the number of rapes, the amount of trafficking, how come only a dozen or so were taken to court?

    I suggest that Biased BBC contributors weigh up this article carefully, it could become the BBC line.

        I posted a comment a couple of days ago about a single event causing unrest to kick off. I’m not claiming any credit for it because it wasn’t all that clever, frankly. There’s no sign of our so-called leaders getting a grip though. In today’s DT we have Eric Pickles (the fat fool who was Chair of Bradford’s Education Committee or something at the time of Ray Honeyford’s sacking) lecturing us about ‘tolerance’, and daring to mention ‘thugs’ invading a few mosques following the murder of Lee Rigby. Diddums. In some respects, this is the most obnoxious article I have read for some time.

        The fight against intolerance begins at home

        Now we have more vibrancy awaiting importation from Calais. Only the French seem to understand why this is happening.

        Our leaders don’t even seem to understand the problem. We’re in the late 1930s again, with the essential difference that the fascist invasion is already in progress.

    Nothing other than the trade sanctions against Russia has yet been decided it appears, but one hopes our NATO leaders in South Wales will come up with policies that will keep us all safe.

    This East European crisis is such a dangerous game, which could easily escalate with disastrous consequences. In my view it could have been easily avoided.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-29056870

    NATO and EU have both prodded the Russian Bear without necessarily thinking through the end game, just like Bush & Co with Blair did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    This East European incursion was not directly threatening our security until we decided to go against agreements made when the Berlin Wall came down.

    http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9304652/russias-nato-myth/

    What was the point of going further than mutual beneficial trading partnerships with traditional ex-Russian lands, (for example Kiev was the first East Slavic State capital – Kiev Rus – and Crimea was only handed over to Ukraine by Khrushchev in 1954).

    It is certainly asking for trouble with Russia psyche if one is going against agreements made as the Berlin Wall came down, that ‘NATO would not move a centimetre to the east’.

    In my view Putin’s strong defensive actions in Ukraine were so predictable, after Georgia and Chechnya .

    We would have been much wiser keeping our noses well out of it since our security was not at stake and the EU MEPs were crazy to stoke the fire by going on the street demonstrations in Kiev last year giving false hopes.

    Now we are thinking of WW 3 scenarios building another Iron Curtain along the Polish/Baltic States line.

        I think that the BBC policy of avoiding mention of ‘mens’ ethinicity or religion has become counter productive. The longer they don’t mention names or ethinicity of a suspect or someone arrested for a crime , the more people think that the perpetrators must be Muslim. Also the more people realise that the BBC is trying to manipulate the news.
        So my advice to the BBC is to keep on trying to cover up the facts because it only undermines your organisation’s credibility in the eyes of the British people, which is a necessary first step to getting rid of the corporation altogether.

      “UK’s Telegraph: Boredom, not Islam, motivates Islamic State’s Western converts”

      By Robert Spencer.

      [Excerpt]:-

      “Here’s the scenario: a welfare state brings in a massive influx of immigrants who hold to a belief system that tells them they have a responsibility to wage war against and subjugate those who don’t believe in that belief system, and that the non-believers have the responsibility to pay them tribute. Many of these immigrants thus happily go on welfare in that welfare state, and spend their time working on ways to wage war against unbelievers both abroad and at home. When the situation approaches crisis point, the welfare state’s learned analysts, anxious to cover for the immigrant’s belief system, which they do not accept but nevertheless believe must be protected at all costs, decide that that couldn’t be what is motivating them to fight. It must be because, in that welfare state that provides for all their needs, they have nothing to do, and the devil finds work for idle hands.

      “Indeed so, and the work that the devil has found for Tim Stanley of the Telegraph is the task of writing a serious piece about a risible idea, as part of his publication’s attempt, and British society’s attempt, to perpetuate the willful ignorance that blankets British society, and to pretend that the source of their problem is anything — anything! — other than what it really is.”
