    Manon, I agree with most of what you say here except for the need to celebrate Pakistani Day. I thought, according to the left-wing media, that these people are British and by geographic residence therefore English.

    But that council banned taxi drivers from flying English flags during the World Cup when all English citizens of the town, whatever race or creed, could celebrate being English together.

    So are they going to put up a flag on the town hall for every minority – for instance will they be flying the Israeli flag on Israel Day for their Jewish residents? No, thought not.

      That got completely detached from a comment by Manonetc. saying that the council should always fly the Pakistani flag or something like that.

    An appeal from the BBC
    This present appeal follows up the success of previous BBC appeals made to the public to come forward and hand over to the proper authorities any copies of lost episodes of classic era TV shows – such as the creaky old-world-values patriarchal low-budget sci-fi hit ‘Professor Plumy’, the popular-at-the-time plebeian ensemble comedy (now regarded by many as politically incorrect) ‘Gang Show’, and also cult-but-quaint now trending with the LGTB community 70s adventure series ‘The Chancers’.

    Incredibly in the early days of BBC TV when broadcasters were far less self-regarding no recordings were kept or tapes were simply recorded over.

    An unnamed but well paid source at our national broadcaster heading up this latest expensive initiative could not be quoted directly but said: “We’ve had a great response to our appeals in the past”.

    PR sources at the BBC could offer no evidence in support of their statements but went on “We always knew all this tosh was out there somewhere and this has brought back a gratifying amount of cash income in the form of dvd re-release to the BBC”.

    “Now we are looking for a real gem – the ‘Holy Grail’ of TV. At some point over the last three decades the BBC must surely have given a platform to a conservative voice”.

    The BBC hopes that perhaps a passing member of the public (probably on a Zero Hours Contract) may have retrieved a recording of a conservative voice from a skip they climbed into for shelter outside BBC studios where editors and producers (who were just doing their jobs) probably dumped them.

    These rarities may have been traded on Ebay or been horded by an eccentric collector who reads the Spectator.

    Maybe in a shed or an attic somewhere in the Home Counties (or Inverness for our Scottish audience) there could be a treasure trove of conservative voices just waiting to be rediscovered.

    Naturally, there might just perhaps be an amnesty for former BBC staff who illegally smuggled this material past security (after the usual disciplinary processes have been gone through).

    Any present staff involved will of course be prosecuted to the full extent.

    It could be that enterprising academics experimenting with early TV bias recording apparatus have kept preserved wax cylinder or even Betamax copies of conservative voices.

    The BBC is also appealing to overseas broadcasters where British conservative voices are thought to have been syndicated and shipped out to be dubbed into foreign languages such as Australian and Urdu.

    Let’s hope the current search is fruitful. Previously there have been some marvellous success stories. For instance programmes have been retrieved which the BBC didn’t even know it had lost. Recovered radio programmes include the first episode of the panel game, “I’m sorry, I threw that away” and a Radio 4 special – a lost interview with Ed Miliband “Market economics, I haven’t a clue,”

    From BBC Magazine obituaries section today : “Barrister Anthony Scrivener’s eclectic mix of clients included Saddam Hussein. He led the former dictator’s legal team which challenged the lawfulness of the tribunal that tried him. He also defended Gerry Conlon, a member of the Guildford Four, and Winston Silcott, who was acquitted of the murder of PC Keith Blakelock. In one of his most high-profile cases he represented the Norfolk farmer Tony Martin who, in 1999, shot dead an intruder at his house and was eventually convicted of manslaughter. A committed socialist and republican, Scrivener abided by the rule that obliges barristers to represent people with whom they fundamentally disagree. These included Dame Shirley Porter after she was accused of selling council houses in Westminster to bolster Tory support. He relished the challenges such cases could bring. “A common law barrister like myself has seen every type of depravity possible,” he once remarked, “and can say it in Latin.”

    So there we are, according to the BBC Shirley Porter’s sale of council houses is more depraved than bombings, genocide and murders! Delenda est BBC – see, I know Latin as well

    Mr AsISeeIt has learned that BBC commentators will say Ed Miliband has won the party leaders tv debate due to be held this evening.

    BBC voices will say that although David Cameron appeared shifty and arrogant and Nigel Farage made several gaffs, Nationalists, the LibDem and Greens each had a good debate and will have impressed voters.

    However, special plaudits will be given to PM-in-waiting Ed Miliband who is set to appear statesman-like and normal.

        So like you Steve, I must say that Danczuk can get to f**k, and those who submit to the teachings of the Paedo Muhammed are sick medieval barbarous misoginistic homophobic evil f**kers who can also get to f**k.

        That’s my opinion, and any mohammedan or dhimmi who is upset or offended by that, can also get to f**k, because I don’t give a toss if they’re offended.

          On 18 April 1638 Lilburne was flogged with a three-thonged whip on his bare back, as he was dragged by his hands tied to the rear of an ox cart from Fleet Prison to the pillory at Westminster. He was then forced to stoop in the pillory where he still managed to campaign against his censors, while distributing more unlicensed literature to the crowds. He was then gagged. Finally he was thrown in prison. He was taken back to the court and again imprisoned. During his imprisonment in Fleet he was cruelly treated. While in prison he however managed to write and to get printed in 1638 an account of his own punishment styled The Work of the Beast

      Mmmm. Not good enough.

      I recall when the trailer for a film about the Queen was shown, with shots similarly out of sequence, people were sacked.

      I think that this was a deliberate attempt to mislead. An apology and an edit is quite simply not enough. When the film was broadcast on BBC2, the damage was done. The BBC can’t simply say sorry and that is the end of the matter.

      This complaint should have been properly investigated and the BBC should have got to the bottom of the reasons why something was broadcast that was dishonest and lacking in integrity. If it was true to its belief that it is the world’s most trusted broadcaster, it needed to take steps to satisfy itself that there was no bias and that the remainder of the series contain no other misleading material. If it could not, or the BBC weren’t prepared to, the series should have been pulled – a la ‘Top Gear’.

      Other than say, ‘Sorry’ what have the BBC done about this?

    The BBC is broadcasting a ‘special’ edition of Question Time on 30th April and has only invited Messrs Cameron, Miliband and Clegg.
    UKIP is now recognised as one of the four major political parties in the UK, and its omission by the BBC is surely unfair and undemocratic, especially just a week before the General Election.
    Whether or not you support UKIP, if you recognise BBC bias in this decision, please sign the petition below and share with others.

      I would only support a petition requesting the election to be organised by those who run X-factor.

      We could have Brucie introducing the “acts”. Simon Cowell chairman of the judges, and then a phone in vote at the end to decide the next government.

      It would save so much time and fit in nicely with current television.

      As I forecast the only interest of the media after the Paxman interviews was “Who won”, as it will be tonight, and would be if this hare brained idea gets off the ground. Won what?

      DC will need his head examined if he goes for this stunt by the BBC.

        ‘It would save so much time and fit in nicely with current television.’

        It would also fit nicely with the mindset of a worryingly large chunk of the electorate. If they haven’t worked out by now what each party stands for they don’t deserve the vote.

      Note the BBC explanation as to the absence of Mr Farage:
      “The BBC Question Time programme with David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg is a chance for the main party leaders to discuss their policies and the decision to include these three only is based on broad assessment of electoral support.”

      Electoral support, you say? How does that square with inviting the leader of the party that has consistently been in at least 4th spot for the past couple of years but not the 3rd.

      The BBC. Always getting it about right. Even when wrong.

      Anyway, signed.

    BBC1 lunchtime news had our intrepid reporter informing us of the latest batch of 9 jihadis to leave these shores in search of a more fulfilling afterlife in Islamic State – sorry, the ‘self-styled’ Islamic State (so you don’t get confused).

    Just as the BBC seamlessly shifted its narrative on what constitutes terrorism, or rather doesn’t, with its adoption of the term ‘militant’ so now it has moved away – or at least this particular reporter has – from ‘British Muslim’ or ‘British Pakistani’ or anything else which might be construed as, um, judgemental or even racist – they are now simply called ‘Brits’ as in e.g. ‘these Brits’.

    Now to someone brought up on common sense, loyalty to country, tolerance, sense of fair play, stiff upper lip and all those other qualities that the world might traditionally associate with a ‘Brit’, this new BBC definition might take some getting used to. In fact, I can see right now that I’ll never get used to it and instead prefer to tell the BBC to stick it right up their appeasing left liberal arses.

      johnnythefish:
      The BBC does not understand the “brought up” part of being English or German or Japanese. This is why it continually asks people to explain why they are British or to define “Britishness”. People learn and live their cultures by being brought up in them.This is cultural transmission and the source of “British values” Normal people do not twitter on about their “values, “British customs and mores” is probably what is meant.. You don’t learn to speak English if you are brought up by parents who don’t speak English and in the society of other people who don’t speak English. It is therefore not surprising that children who have being brought up by Muslim parents in the wider society of Muslims, think and act as other Muslims brought up in Muslim society do. The BBC confuses “British passport holder”, with “Brit”. Trying to suggest that those British passport holders” who go to Syria are really “true born Brits”. The geographical location of leaving the womb does not in and of itself determine whether a person will think and act in ways that are characteristically British. The term “British” has now been emptied of cultural meaning; it is simply a reference to a formal legal status.

      To every man upon this earth
      Death cometh some or late
      And how can man die better
      Than facing fearful odds
      For the ashes of his farhers

      Sometimes in the life of a nation choices about the future have to made. These choices are never much about money but involve the sort of country we will hand on to the next generations. The current parties would rather we forgot this. and voted on narrow self interested grounds.
      This is no way to live and is degrading for an ancient nation like ours.
      Cameron and Milliband can go to hell as far as I am concerned. The future of England is not safe in their hands.
      No people can truly be free unless they govern themselves. We must return to ourselves that sovereignity that our past leaders have unlawfully given to outside powers. It was not theirs to give . It is nobody’s and no one generation’s to give.
      This is simple to understand.
      The 17th century Englishman would have understood this and so would old Thomas Jefferson and the men who set America free. Tom Paine and William Cobbett would also know this.
      Nothing really changes but in this age of political pygmies we are being cheated and lied to by insignificant men and women. That they and their hangers on have power in this land shames us all.

    R4 PM programme reporting on the latest massacre in Kenya. Apparently the students were separated according to ‘religion’, but strangely no further clarification on what that meant, in fact the report manages to omit any reference to Christianity or Islam. According to the expert the motivation of the attackers is political. The BBC describes the attackers as militants.
    Business as usual then at al Beeba.
    Meanwhile on another propaganda channel, RT “Somali Islamist group Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the assault saying it is holding Christians hostage inside the university.”
    How come RT is better informed?

      Speaking of not tweeting anything stupid, someone clearly knows what plays well with the guys on the top floor writing the chekkies:

      @garylineker
      Always reluctant to offer a political view, but Farage is a dick!

    Cameron’s nose just grew so long it broke my screen. He just said he can re-negotiate ‘free-movement’. You have to admire the man’s nerve!

      Just tweeted the wanker, he was a complete nothing when he played football, he was that boring he couldn’t even get a yellow card yet all of a sudden he is the voice of the people?

      A few polls are out already, guess who the bbc has at the top of the tree? No other poll gives milipede anything but the beeb’s hero is running away with the popular poll!!

        Actually he was a brilliant goal scorer for all his clubs and especially for England. And avoiding a yellow card made him a good role model for children.

        But some of the silly things he has done since has been frankly tedious, and this partizan ad-hom on Farage is frankly ill thought out but shows he’s a real Beeboid.

      A while back at my local surgery, while waiting I was forced to watch a string of those awful NHS propaganda films which are supposed to be conducive to my health but actually send my blood pressure soaring. I was playing spot the white face when ironically there was a segment on racism and up popped the BBC’s Lineker and Gabby Logan to tell me how racist whitey is and how the British tabloids are especially racist. At this point I got called in to see the doc which was just as well.

    What’s the problem: don’t Beeboids actually like the ‘diversity’ of Birmingham?:-

    ‘Telegraph'(£)-

    “BBC staff refusing to relocate to Birmingham.
    Only 31 out of 144 employees agree to relocate as Corporation faces a repeat of Salford.”

    Watched only the highlights I’m afraid. Things to do. I noticed that when Farage says anything that is factually beyond argument the others all go into fantasy mode. Does someone press a “deny the obvious reality ” button in their brains. Looks like it.
    We voters are not stupid so a memo to Cameron and the rest – try to listen carefully and make sure you engage your brain before speaking.
    No wonder they do not want to give Farage airtime.

    On QT just now Yasmin alibleater Brown professed a profound love for the SNP and its leader, Rab.C.Nesbitt’s wife. The party that is nationalistic and wants to break up the UK.

    Two minutes later she hates UKIP and Farage, the nationalistic party that wants to keep the UK together but wants out of the EU?

    Typical of every lefty, they speak in riddles.

      … the SNP and its leader, Rab.C.Nesbitt’s wife.

      ‘Mary Doll’ is Elaine C. Smith:

      I’d forgotten about her; she seemed headed for office with SNP but must have changed her mind.

      Some women have breasts or ovaries removed as a prophylatic against cancer. Jasmin Alibleater Clown may have had large quantities of grey matter removed long ago to prevent brain cancer. Pity they didn’t wire her jaws together as well when she was under. Functional gob and missing brain areas is not an ideal scenario.

    To ‘Daily Mail’s credit, it doesn’t go with TV Election debate,

    as its Good Friday frontpage, but goes with headline

    (which BBC-NUJ would politically censor):-

    “Runaway Jihadi’s Father is Labour Activist.”

      George …
      There is one Islamic political side … ISLAM
      Whether Camoron lying again and again on Islam, courting Warsi, or indeed Afzal Amin,
      or a whether its a Labour councillor with a jihadi runaway son
      there is one Political vent … Islam … everything else, everyone else are simply there to be used to gain power for it.
      This is always the case, no exceptions, they are dangerous because they have a political ideology, a totalitarian one, are indoctrinated into it, its all about power by force, political or violent

    What a shocker! The Beeb staff who lectured us about the enrichment of multiculturalism refuse to enrich themselves:

    The BBC’s plan to establish a “creative talent hub” in Birmingham have faltered after only 31 out of 144 employees agreed to relocate.

      Eventually the generals who claimed to lead moved from the head of their men to waaaaaaay back behind the lines.
