    Well you could have nocked me down with a feather! Today, 08.50, Simon Bates, “Good Morning Devon” actually broadcast an email from a listener, stating that it was “immigration” that was causing all the problems in the NHS”. I’m still in shock. I did inform him to watch his step through their facebook page as this was completely against the BBC narrative and warned him about what happened to Mr Clarkson.

      Defo one for that renowned BBC editorial integrity to be left to mull over, news vs. ‘not news’ ((c) A. Newsroom Tealady) wise.

      Maybe their next interviews with him to understand his motivations he could clutch a Teddy with a Semtex vest?

    “Standing is the new smoking” according to BBC News at 5.30 this morning. So expect similar demonising campaigns to follow……

    Here is Brigitte Gabriel presenting a few facts about Islamic radicalisation in the US. Lessons to be learnt here – eh Mrs May. Can’t see her appearing on Comrade Dimbleski’s programme, as the policy is to silence critics, not argue with them.
    As a counter to Labour and most Tories, she argues for a melting pot culture not apartheid style multikulture, and consequently would have to be denounced as a racist by the UAF Nazis and their supporters.

    Radio 5: speaking up for Labour Party and Miliband again today.

    The only reference to any politician at 12 noon Radio 5 today was to Miliband and NHS; followed by an uncritical two minutes audio of:
    Miliband and NHS.

    -Radio 5 News mentioned no other politicians in General Election:-

    BBC-NUJ – spot-on with its political propaganda for Labour, as usual.

      “BBC wants Labour to win General Election, Tory MPs claim.

      “Tory MPs claim that the BBC’s coverage of government policies is biased because it fears that a future Conservative government will cut the licence fee.”

        Ah, but…. nah, I got nuthin’…

        The absolutely interest-unconflicted BBC simply wheel out an anonymous spokeszombie to say ‘Are not, so there’* and that… will be that.

        Like they do every time.

        And those the BBC seeks to sideline simply swallow it, sulk, and trot it out again later, thus confirming the best definition of insanity around.

        *‘The BBC has strenuously denied accusations of bias and insisted its coverage is impartial.

        A BBC source said: “We are satisfied with our coverage.’

    “BBC Radio DJ vents anger after being ousted for getting engaged to Tory MP
    Twice-divorced presenter John Darvall blasts corporation on-air claiming he lost his slot because the BBC wants to protect ‘impartiality’ before the election”

    Err..shouldn’t the BBC ‘protect impartiality’ all the time?

    The most obvious response to this is: If the BBC has to claim its impartiality in the run up to an election, then is it safe to conclude that they are not impartial at other times?

    Such is their arrogane they couldn’t even predict this response.

      BBC dicing with at the door precedent again.

      Lucky they have a dual track policy on such things.

      Maybe Mr. Darvall could be popped over the HYS to moderate comments. You know, to ‘balance’ Jasmine.

      I think that someone (David?) was, some time ago, collating a list of all of the BBC staff who had personal and or family connections to the Labour Party.

      My contribution was Ben Wright, son of ex Labour MP Tony Wright, who delivered a completely unbalanced report on the Bercow shambles yesterday.

      There is also of course, former Labour Minister, Purnell, who sits at the BBC’s top table.

      Presumably all of those including Wright will have to stand down too?

    Drip drip the rumours accumulate, it is time for Cameron and fellow Islamophiles to issue a denial and assert that the plane crash has nothing to do with the ROP, just a random action by someone who was mentally unstable.
    I am not suggesting anything at this stage, but to any rational person who seeks truth, everything should be out in the open.

      There is no evidence of this at all. In fact the German police said so earlier today.

      I personally think we should stick to BBC bias, this nonsense deflects from the real purpose of this blog and the threat to democracy that the BBC has become (it also encourages criticism from The Clap on the Omnibus and his / her fellow travellers).

        Agree.

        BBC news delivery can have a time critical element, but as a national broadcaster in theory held to high standards I am minded to cut them slack for the purposes of watertight oversight, but do note they are too often happy to drop themselves right in it for the sake of screeching ‘Exclusive!’.

        And also when the ‘news’, if bad, suits their petty agendas.

        In this case I’d prefer to let the system work its steady way, and leave speculation to any point where those who should know and should share seem unusually tardy, vague or trotting out smoke and mirrors now becoming all too familiar.

        I am certainly interested in how the BBC engages gears on the latest revelations about Jihadi Troika parental histories. Given uncritical profile up to now, silent running speaks volumes.

          Point taken *88.
          I was not presenting evidence, just repeating what I described as a rumour, which is plausible given the nature of the enemy and our politicians and the media. Plausibility in my book provides a reason to seek evidence, not wait for a biased media to unearth it.
          However, as my remarks ‘encourages criticism from The Clap on the Omnibus and his / her fellow travellers’, I have decided not to contribute any more ,nonsense’ to the blog and remove myself from it.
          A minor victory for Manon et perhaps.
          Goodbye

            You shouldn’t leave just on one issue, you regularly make telling contributions to this site and you would be missed by people on here if you left.

    Well, knock me down with a feather! Turns out that the father of one of the jihadi schoolgirls is an Islamic extremist, after all. Fancy that!

    “Sensational footage has emerged showing the father of one of the three schoolgirl ‘jihadi brides’ at the head of an Islamist rally led by hate preacher Anjem Choudary and attended by Michael Adebowale, the killer of soldier Lee Rigby.

    The video shows Abase Hussen marching at the front of the demonstrators, behind a banner reading: ‘The followers of Mohammed will conquer America.’

    He was filmed chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ amid dozens of protesters and standing just yards away as the American flag is burned.

    Funnily enough, can’t find any mention of this on the BBC News website (just checked).

    Edited to add: the BBC have just added a link to the Mail story under the “elsewhere on the net” section.
    I see now that I was not the first on this site to spot this story.

    BBc 18:00 news. The BBc has seen paperwork relating to possible benefit cuts. Remember it was labour that started the assault on the welfare state. More groupies want to join (the so called / self styled) isis. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-32091822 However still no mention of this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3013703/Father-jihadi-bride-schoolgirl-attended-2012-Islamist-rally-attended-Lee-Rigby-s-killer-led-preacher-Anjem-Choudary.html#ixzz3VasWVZBK

    Thought the news had finished but no they allow a member of the public to use a slur word again people from Sunderland (yes that’s where I’m from).
    Then a recap on the St. Stephen of Lawrence centre & the royal visit and yes they are still using the cropped photo.

    I’ve just complained to the BBC about them broadcasting the term makem . If they can screw Clarkson for an obscure Vietnam era reference and a word he never said I’m jumping on the bandwagon.
