WEEKEND OPEN THREAD

On time and for your attention – a brand new Open Thread for the weekend. This is where you detail the bias. I also wanted to thank those who came along for the BBC Question Time live chat last. The system seemed to work ok and so I hope many more will click the link, register, and join in the fun and games next week.

    PLO to end historic Israeli security agreement
    Leaving aside that this is a threat made many times before, a certain piece of vital information seems to be missing in the following sentence The PLO is the representative body for Palestinians and its decisions are binding for the Palestinian Authority.

    Who are the heads of the PLO; the Palestinian Authority that is apparently subordinate to it and Fatah the largest faction in the PLO and in the Palestinian Authority? Only one head: Mahmud Abbas. So the PLO, led by Abbas instructs the PA, led by Abbas to stop cooperation. He in turn will order Fatah, led by Abbas to stop.

    Elder of Ziyon gives more background information than the BBC ever will. Political Pallywood in “decision” to stop security coordination with Israel.

    On the graphic level look at the photograph the BBC used to illustrate Palestinian and Israeli security cooperation. Would that be the appropriate caption you would pick?Cooperation.jpg

      Good spot DS. Campaign Against Climate Change. And the promotion of de-forestation and burning of wood, promoting “biofuels”.

      And check out their staff role call. Barely a scientist to be seen, just professional (and voluntary) troughers and air-heads.

      Their ‘spam warning’ sums up these stateist fascists: “Don’t trouble us with inconvenient contributions which may force people to think fully for themselves, or which may cast doubt on ‘the reality or seriousness of climate change.”

      We live in a twisted world. These new age AGW religionists are adopting similar methods to Islam. Followers, especially the young, are shielded from thought, discouraged from enquiry, encouraged in insular fascism. No room for doubters or sceptics, in other words, no room for science reason and rational discourse.

      And what is George Monbiots’s current position on nuclear, AGW etc? The problem with these vocal enviro-activists, is that every time the state sponsored alarmist scientists have their work taken to pieces, they have to shift their position to maintain their jobs.

      We live in strange times. Fascists running Unite Against Fascism and Eco-loons campaigning against human welfare – they must have psychological malfunctions, or just old fashioned religious pig-thickery.

    Well… the deluded argument that the election is a stark choice between the Tories and a nightmare Labour government has been blown out of the water by Lord Baker this morning:

    Lord Baker: Conservative-Labour coalition may be needed

    Only proves what was obvious all along – the LibLabCon are all identical little piggies from the same sow’s litter. Shouldn’t be hard agreeing a coalition when they already agree on Europe, immigration, political correctness, etc., etc..

    The Beeb are beside themselves at the prospect of the Tories delivering another 30% for the ‘progressive’ line. Common Purpose will surely see it as a landmark success.

    Vote UKIP – you know you should.

      Philips has been making odd noises for a while, but that total capitulation is remarkable, coming from the most patronising individual ever to lecture us. He seems to concede just about everything on the politics, but there’s no acknowledgement that he created a section of society obsessed with the politics of envy.

        It appears that the government (sorry, us plebs) has paid Mr Phillips in excess of £1million to spend the best part of a lifetime working out the benefit of the Enlightenment, free speech and free association. An expensive training course indeed. And he has now concluded that what he has been doing (i.e. ‘race baiting’) was wrong. (To confused lefties: ‘wrong’ is another opposite of ‘right’).

        The sad thing is, Mr Phillips could have learned this in his own time, with a few brief conversations with a sample, say, of posters on this site. This would have (i) cost taxpayers less, (ii) prevented the immeasurable cultural and educational damage wrought by multi-culti indoctrination, (iii) allowed Mr Phillips to have followed a different path in life which may have been productive and of social benefit.

        I guess the penny has dropped now with Mr Phillips, but he can not know the damage he and his industry have caused, and continue to cause. (For instance, Darren Wilson, who tackled a criminal, but must be evil because he is white and the criminal [Michael Brown] is black.)

        Race baiting is a real money spinner.

          “[Lewis] ends his book by insisting that tolerance will never be born of legislation or activism but will flow naturally from the depoliticizing of education and local government, the deregulation of the marketplace and the phasing out of institutions with a vested interest in racial strife.”

    Re. the ongoing destruction of ancient Assyrian artifacts by muslims in Iraq;

    It is hardly surprising that ordinary, peace loving muslims have been forced to take extreme action against these 3,000 year old remains. They have been driven to this by social injustice and state persecution of muslims by the Assyrian Empire.

    Lack of employment opportunities and social depravation caused by the illegal, apartheid regime of Assyrian leader Tiglath-Pileser the first, has led to many young muslims feeling excluded from Assyrian society. As a result of this oppression, many have turned to violence as a last resort. Frankly these ancient monuments had it coming.

    The action of this minority has nothing whatsoever to do with true islam.

    What changed British eating habits?
    Find out how immigration provided us with more choice when dining out

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02l4g51?intc_type=promo&intc_location=news&intc_campaign=timeshift&intc_linkname=bbcfour__factual_vidclip2

    Typical BBC promotion of immigration, and ‘diversity’, the fact that it’s a lie seems not to concern them!

    The reality is that foreign travel is what changed British eating habits, plus greater affluence, and availability of ingredients.

    The oldest Indian restaurant Veeraswamys opened in 1926 well before any meaningful kind of immigration. Before that though employees of the East India company had brought Indian dishes back to Britain. Rice pudding for example is really Rasmallai.

    Before that the first recorded Indian restaurant opened in 1809 the Hindostanee Coffee House.
    “But Britons already had a taste for curry. A handful of coffee houses served curries alongside their usual fare, and in the gracious homes of returnees, ladies attempted to recreate dishes and condiments their families enjoyed on the sub-continent. ”

    “Some wrote out their own recipes; others may have used one of the many editions of Hannah Glasse’s The Art of Cookery, first published in 1747, which contained recipes for curries and pilaus.”

    So over 250 years ago British housewives were preparing their own Indian food when there was no immigration !

    You wouldn’t mind so much but those quotes contradicting the BBC immigration story come from a different BBC page !

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8370054.stm

    Rather than write a huge long piece suffice to say that other foreign food made its way into British menus in the same way long before the mass immigration even began.

    • Mustapha Sheikup al-Beebi says:

      Yes, I agree, but even if the lying BBC’s claim were to be true, it would still not, per se, justify immigration on the scale that the British people have been forced to accept, and some of the practices from the Indian subcontinent which go with it.

      Put simply, and in a suitably ‘non-racist’ way: just because I like pizza and macaroni doesn’t mean I want mafiosi in the UK.

He says about the BBC, that it ‘seemed more like a private fiefdom than a public service’ and ‘There is a real danger of the BBC being brought low by a hundred headlines’ and by ‘millions that have been spent on redundancies and failures’ and he also accused the BBC of a Left-wing bias. But this may be edited out of the lecture to make time for Lord Hall to make a contribution.

    A new book is about to be released, and somehow I don’t think we will see or hear it being reviewed on the BBC unless it is unavoidable!

    The Man Behind The Mask by Francis Beckett, David Hencke and Nick Kochan, published by John Blake Publishing on March 19 at £20

    It concerns the money making activities of Tony BLiar after he left office in 2007.
    What is of the greatest interest to me, is the phenomenal amount of money being paid to him by Muslim countries, in the region of tens of millions of pounds a year.
    For some time now I have believed that this money was a reward/bribe for his promotion of Islam and the mass immigration of Muslims into the UK. Also for the use of Britains armed forces to remove those heads of states his sponsors didn’t like, such as Saddam Hussein, and because they couldn’t afford a war against Iran, the sanctions and isolation.

    It really is a shocking series of revelation. £27 million from the Emir of Kuwait??

      As regarding Male primacy in employment, the wealth creating sector has four problems (1) Males create far more jobs than females (2) Males employ themselves more in self employment than females (3) Mass immigration is overwhelmingly Male (4) The state employees twice as many females than male parasites, this is reflected by the Union membership. The Unions representing state employees have a socially engineered electoral system where two of every three candidate are chosen from a women only list, the third candidate can be a Man, but not from a men only list, as this is regarded as SEXIST.
      I suggest mass sackings of state employees, a clamp down on immigration, sterilisation of women with jobs and a male only tax on job creation. This would help create the loony dream world of the lefties.

      Isis seem to be doing this not only because it is part of their belief system and I accept their description of themselves as devout Muslims, but deliberately so as to demonstrate to us in the West that Isis will destroy every vestige of the past. If Islam took Europe we would be faced with the destruction , and it would be total , of our culture. No more Salisbury Cathedral, no more Stonehenge, No more Mozart and Bach and no more Durer.
      Every time in history it pays to take aggressors and destroyers at their word. With Isis it is them or us and we need to understand this. That soldier who died this week fighting against them understood what our media and elites do not. Either you do or do not and most simply do not.
      This is the start of a clash of civilisations and the outcome is uncertain. Isis understand this and if we wish to survive so should we.

        Islamic armies conquered the Middle East and swept through North Africa before over running Spain. From there they invaded France. They were finally stopped at the Battle of Poitiers in 732.

        Islamic forces also attacked Euope from the East. Vienna was beseiged and close to collapse until the muslim forces were defeated outside the city in 1683.

        Conquered peoples were either forced to convert to Islam or live as second class citizens (dhimmi) after surrendering to islamic domination.

        The BBC would probably tell us it had nothing to do with islam.

    http://www.nocompulsion.com/a-warning-to-the-west-a-voice-from-the-heart-of-the-islamic-world/
    There are some shocking revelations in it; for example in Egypt the day after 911 – all public transport was free; restaurants gave free meals and sweets; cinemas and gardens offered free entry and the radio stations played “happy, victory songs.”

      Supplementary.

      Christopher BOOKER’s piece in ‘ Sunday Telegraph’ (£)-

      “BBC’s climate change stance in brazen defiance of the law.

      “When it comes to climate change, the BBC’s coverage is quite deliberately one-sided.”

      Christopher BOOKER’s opening paragraph –

      “Next January will see the 10th anniversary of one of the most curious episodes in the history of the BBC. At a ‘secret seminar’, many of its most senior executives met with a roomful of invited outsiders to agree on a new policy that was in flagrant breach of its Charter. They agreed that, when it came to climate change, the BBC’s coverage should now be quite deliberately one-sided, in direct contravention of its statutory obligation that ‘controversial subjects’ must be ‘treated with due accuracy and impartiality’. Anything that contradicted the party line, from climate science to wind farms, could be ignored.”

    Hands up if you remember the non reporting of the muslim demo in Downing Street on 8/2/2015. Now some will recall I made a complaint on 10/2 & received a template reply @the 19th. I then had a sense of humour failure and re-complained. Today I had this
    Thank you for taking time to contact us again recently. We had referred your complaint to the relevant staff and are normally able to investigate and reply to most complaints at this stage (which is stage 1b of the complaints process) within 20 working days of receipt, or around four weeks. However this is to inform you that we believe it may now take longer than 20 working days before you receive our reply.

    We apologise for this and have brought the matter to the attention of the relevant staff again. The delay in answering may be due to their unavailability or other production commitments. We therefore ask you not to contact us further in the meantime. If however it does prove necessary to do so please use our webform at http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints or write to us, quoting the case reference number we have provided.

    We aim to use your licence fee as efficiently as we can, so if you have complained about the same issues as others we will send our response to you and everyone. We may also not investigate or reply in great detail if a complaint doesn’t suggest a potential breach of BBC standards, or a significant issue of general importance. This is in line with the BBC Trust’s complaints procedures which you can read at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/governance/complaints_framework/

    We appreciate your continuing patience in waiting for a response and will reply as soon as possible.

      Dear Framer “Thank you for contacting us about BBC News. I understand you were concerned that BBC News did not cover increase in some Immigration from somewhere East of Dover.

      I can appreciate that you felt this event should have been reported on so I’m sorry if you were disappointed with the lack of coverage.

      We know that not everyone will agree with our choices on which stories to cover, and the prominence that we give to them. These are subjective decisions made by our news editors, and we accept that not everyone will think that we are correct on each occasion.

      There are several factors that we take into consideration when deciding how to put together our news bulletins. For example, whether the story is new and requires immediate coverage, how unusual the story is, and how much national interest there is in the story.

      However, we appreciate the feedback that our viewers and listeners give us when they feel a story has been overlooked or marginalised and I am grateful that you have taken the time to contact us regarding this matter.

      Please be assured that I have included your complaint on our audience feedback report which is sent to news editors, programme producers and senior management each morning. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.

      Thanks again for getting in touch.” Probably. See I could get a job at BBc complaints. I used to work in a complaints section once you know.

        • UKIP are the only viable political alternative at present. The political establishment have been lucky that the peoples anger (such as it is) has been by supporting this relatively new party, who did extremely well in the EU elections, and have not gone to an extremist party like the BNP. Though the establishment were given a broadside warning when Bronze and Griffin became MEP’s and still the establishment didn’t listen.

          The FN are doing well in France and the SNP (a nationalist party lets not forget but with Scottish “added sanctimony”) have cleaned up in north of the border.

          Clearly the punters have had enough of the liberal hypocrites that inhabit politics here and abroad. They are clinging by their fingers but surprisingly they have very strong digits and have a great champion (in the UK at least) in the BBC who are at the other end of the feasting table, but at the same table none the less, whilst the proles are looking at the window at the feast that they have paid for and are excluded from.

          Checkpoints, peace walls, police “protected by troops in support of their duties.” Welcome to future mainland UK created by an arrogant and actually none too bright political elite who simply wouldn’t listen to the people who didn’t want mass immigration, foreign wars and democracy handed over to an unelected foreign bureaucrats. Anyone remember the Portuguese EU minister TELLING the UK what is must and must not accept as far as immigration in this country?

          UKIP aren’t the answer. But when all the sums don’t add up from the entrenched political establishment a party that got the figures more or less in the right ball park well yes I’ll go with them because there is nothing else viable.
          Don’t believe, and I’m sure anyone reading this won’t, what Caroline Flint said on the Marr Showand she seems to reflect the LAB/CON establishment that there is “only a choice between us and the Tories.” What arrogance. It can be anyone WE, you know Caroline the f**king people choose.
          We have to deny these people power or become a another mix of Lebanon and third world nation combined. Its that simple.

          Nigel Farage said that he didn’t care that the UK would be less affluent outside the EU. He said that there was more to nationhood than money. He’s right.

          I want to be shot of the likes of Vaz, Abbott, Blair, Burnham, Blears and all those other greedy buggers too many to mention and the education hypocrites like Blair, Abbott (her again), Thornberry, Harman etc who destroy our childrens’ education but protect their own.

      You see ISIS cleaning out a territory of people who they don’t like, but all the surrounding countries such as Iran and Saudi cleaned their countries out long ago, and their laws are no different to those of ISIS.

      The sooner people recognise that Islam is a violent totalitarian religion the better. Just because a few are prepared to carry out atrocities does not make them extremists when the great majority of Muslims support and understand their actions.

    “The BBC press office bridled when I described Jones and MacKean as “whistleblowers”. As the Pollard review of the Savile scandal had concluded that BBC management had acted in “good faith”, I must not call them that.”

    It was fascinating, but really quite painful, listening to Any Questions yesterday. The subject of prosecuting those who fail to report suspicions of grooming and rape was raised. Now, surely to God, we all know who and what we’re talking about here, don’t we? We’re discussing the horrors of Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford and I’m certain numerous other “enriched” shitholes throughout our once green and pleasant land. And we’re talking about one group of assailants, Muslim men. But… each and every one of the pc panellists gave tortuous arguments, avoiding any reference to Islam and the industrial scale rape of working class white girls. There seemed to be an entire herd of stampeding elephants in the room. It’s a miracle no one was trampled.
    Unless these panellists are all deaf, dumb, blind, stupid, or had their heads stuck up the arse of the editor of The Guarduian for the past decade, they can’t possibly not know why this change in the law is being sought. And do you know what I find even more shocking? The audience loved them! An audience, as Jonathan Dimbleby constantly reminds us, who are “completely unselected ordinary members of the public.”
    And if you believe that BBC audiences are “ordinary members of the public” then I’ve got a lovely little time share apartment in Syria you might be interested in…

      Spot on, Jeff. My thoughts exactly as I listened to that pile of evasive group think. The media and political class are inhabiting a different country, untroubled by empirical evidence.

    Murnaghan; Sky News. Mark Reckless v Barbara Roche on illegal immigration.

    Killer factoid; Murnaghan says it’s impossible to know how many are here, but studies show the country is supporting food for over seventy million.

    Reckless just said that the Tory Nadhim Zahawi, who wants an amnesty for illegals, pulled out of the programme.

    Today is International Women’s Day. You would have thought that the sisters at the BBC would have been all over this event like a rash. Not a bit of it if Radio Five “gets much worse” Live is anything to go by. Until 10.00 a.m. this morning the event was only briefly referred to in the news headlines. Why should the Station be bothered with such an event this weekend? After all we have fifty hours of wall to wall coverage of sport to entertain us: FA Cup, rugby, cricket, seat throwing from Birmingham (with the amount of coverage given to this event last night you would have thought it was a bigger threat to world security than the mad Mullahs of Iran) and titddly-winks (?) – I am sure there will be a live broadcast of this ancient and noble sport sometime over the weekend!! At ten o’clock this morning Pienaar’s “Labour Party” Politics did cover this event by way of an interview with the Conservative Leader of the House of Lords, but “Red” Pienaar simply used the occasion to point out that there were more women office holders in the Labour as opposed to the Conservative Party. He also broadcasted a clip where a young child was asked about female politicians, and he immediately said without prompting, ” Margaret Thatcher – she stole milk from the poor to give to the rich.” You could not make it up. Oh dear, the election campaign is well and truly under way.

    The point I am leading up is that there was no mention made of the contentious issues of the sexual abuse of young white girls by Pakistani men, female genital mutilation, forced marriages and female slavery. Does anyone in the BBC care about the events in Rotherham and Oxfordshire? Oh silly me, I should have remembered that many Moslems (the wives vote according to their husbands’ instructions) vote for the Labour Party, as the latter is quite happy to turn a blind eye to these issues in order to win power at any costs, which is of critical importance at the moment in view of Labour’s dire electoral peospects in Scotland. Pass the sick bag!

      It’s early yet; the Beeb will be on the case for sure. Sky just had Julie Bindel and Frances O’Grady ‘reviewing’ the papers. Very critical of plans to reduce company tax; they should be taxing more to fund rape crisis centres. Police have raided Leon Brittan’s homes again. The rape crisis centres are clearly for victims of hideously white males. At some point, I lost the will to live.

      That quote about Margaret Thatcher reminded me of this clip – I think he is one of the very few comedians on the BBC who is genuinely funny. I was amazed that he was ever allowed back on the Beeb after this, let alone given a short series about Southern American music (well worth a watch if you can catch it).

      It’s encouraging news, but will there really be a “fight back”? Or is it just some government spin to make us think something’s happening?

      Time will tell I guess.

    Has anyone seen the Muslim Manifesto?

    British Muslims have presented a Manifesto to Parliament outlining thirty-three issues they want addressed by candidates for Parliament in the 2015 general election.

    It would officially allow Sharia Law to operate in the United Kingdom and guarantee a very pro-muslim agenda in Britain.

    Point 19 says, “Acknowledge that the holy scripture of Muslims (the Qur’an) does not endorse terrorism and the murder of innocents”.

    Since sharia law does not view infidels, blasphemers, or those who oppose the will of allah as “innocent”, I presume it means that killing us would officially be OK.

      I noted it was introduced in a room in Parliament and attended by several MPs. Yes, it’s a declaration of sharia, but more significantly a message to candidates for Parliament in Muslim areas to find ways of agreeing with the demands…or you don’t get the votes (postal?). I believe it was presented by a known associate with Al Quieda, according to Guido, a fact which will not be missed in the mosques. Unlikely to be voted in by all, but a landmark in the evolving Islamic takeover. Of course it is racist to object to it.

      There is no such nationality as ‘British Muslim’, you are either British or you are not. The additional identifier is only ever added to sow division and it is as relevant as saying British Chelsea fan or British sailing enthusiast. The ‘liberal’ left with the BBC as cheerleader in chief has championed this ridiculous notion with the destruction of our country and any of our values as their aim. Self loathing left wing champagne socialists the lot of them.

        Uh Oh! … something else, another box ticked, for Cameron and co to lie about later … Now where s the OICs Tory Warsi in all of this
        Ah … there she is …
        “highly praised by the parliamentarians in attendance, including Baroness Warsi who said that the “Muslim Manifesto is something you can take to your election candidates”.

        hmmm a “call-to-action” for parliamentarians, “pinpointing key issues of high importance to the Muslim community”
        gets erm … better?

        ““Eliminate the root causes of institutional discrimination against Muslims” and
        “introduce tougher legislation to prevent it”;
        “Introduce more robust legislation to curb media hate campaigns against Muslims” and
        “Acknowledge that”

        hmmm Azad Ali? the UAF one? the one on the the holy scripture of Muslims (the Qur’an) does not endorse terrorism and the murder of innocents.Police/Muslim forum?

        http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/andrew-gilligan/7908273/Police-Muslim-forum-headed-by-Islamic-extremist.html

        PS 3 Questions …
        Why is a so called …”religion” in Parliament pushing political aims for self privilege, against the rest of society? if that isn t a red flag what is.

        Why is a clear aim of overt protection, over other erm “religious” communities, IN LAW even being entertained … that is in and of itself … discrimination.

        If the Quran … “the scripture of Muslims does not endorse terrorism and the murder of innocents,”
        then why does it need acknowledging? IN LAW?
        Despite reams of factual evidence to the contrary?
        A growing and dangerous escalation of just such terrorism and murder?
        Justified by 1000s of mass murdering Muslims themselves as following their own scripture?
        Showing more clearly than ever that Islam is an aggressive fascistic political ideology … with a wholly political totalitarian aim and motive …
        That’s why they re in parliament, not with backsides aloft
        recanting gibberish

      Returning to the wonderful muslim manifesto launched at Westminster to a room full of Labour MPs, it appears the manifesto was launched by Azad Ali.

      Ali has previously written of his “love” of Al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar Al-Awlaki and was suspended from his job at the Treasury after he attempted to justify the murder of British troops. He has also admitted attending speeches by Al-Qaeda hate preacher Abu Qatada.
