I was watching the Kill the Christians documentary last night on BBC2 and thought Jane Corbin was giving a decent account of how Christians have been terrorised to almost extinction in the Middle East. A land where Christians and Jews lived for around 800 years before the narcisistic Prophet came up with his brand of evil. Just when I was thinking this was a surprisingly balanced piece of journalism by the BBC we got the usual BBC blame game, where they stated almost as fact that the American / British led allied invasion was the cause of the whole region being de-stablised. We were told that under the despot Saddam Hussein Christians were treated equally and were safe, and that there were no sectarian problems between Sunni and Shia. There was no mention that SH treated the Shia majority like second class citizens, and tortured many of the. There was no mention that he invaded Kuwait twice, there was no mention that he dammed the Euphrates river to make it infertile for the Marsh Arabs, there was no mention that he di use WMD killing thousands in Halabja. The BBC has selective memories. I suppose the documentary did highlight how barbaric and intolerent that Islam is.
Yep! but don t forget … youtube/bbc trendy twitterfarties
“women defends Muslim on train” from being offended, re talk of ISIS etc…. now that’s news …apparently
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-32335647
I just switched over to LBC, without realising that its personality bypass, Toryboy, patronising “quare” Ian Dales show! …
and he informs us its trending right now on the LBC website …
he s amazed by the outstanding dignity, on show etc
… that’s it! no more, off switch.
A feature of this election is that none of the parties are mentioning foreign policy in their election addresses. So who cares about the persecuted Christians and other minorities in the Middle East? Did anyone read the report in the Daily Telegraph this morning about how Yazidi girls aged 8 to 30 were raped and abused by these Moslem monsters? Why is it that our politicians are not interested in the fate of these girls? Having read this report, I have felt greatly saddened and upset all day. Yet apparently all that the gutless and immoral British public wants to know about is how can they screw another short-term financial benefit from the government, a sentiment that is shamelessly pandered to by the BBC as well as our so-called political representatives. Instead of continuously moaning about the Bedroom Tax, the BBC and the mindless public need to turn their attention the plight of the teenagers abused by Moslem gangs in Rotherham and other places and to demand that some of the money currently wasted on foreign aid is directed to them, so as to enable them to re-build their lives. As President Kennedy once said, “…ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Very true, but there really isn’t much interest or political debate about the girls raped by muslim gangs within the UK
You’d think Michelle Obama and other celebs could at the very least start a new twitter campaign: #pleasedonotrapeourgirls. After all, that was a great success for the schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram…
More about INBBC’s campaign to get its Muslim ‘migrants’ into Europe-
‘Sky News’-
“Migrants Held For Throwing Others Overboard.
“African Muslim migrants are held after witnesses say they threw 12 Christian passengers into the sea after a brawl.”
http://news.sky.com/story/1466131/migrants-held-for-throwing-others-overboard
British government should reject INBBC’s mass immigration campaign into U.K, and ensure secure borders for Britain and E.U, as Tunisia is doing with Libya-
“Protection of borders with Libya priority of National Defence Ministry”
http://www.tap.info.tn/en/index.php/politics2/26209-protection-of-borders-with-libya-priority-of-national-defence-ministry?
Fair play, I actually heard R5L referring to the Christian migrants thrown overboard by Muslims this evening. They even said something to the effect that the rescued Christians were (not surprisingly) more terrified of the Muslims than of anything else.

http://order-order.com/2015/04/16/miliband-forgets-the-deficit-again/
Well, at least it spares BBC editorial and CECUTT dreaming up ways and excuses for not mentioning it either.
The Labour website is also a less than easy to navigate effort too. Maybe just as well given what’s not on it.
Off topic but its funny none the less, not the reply the champagne socialist was wanting.
No doubt his parents can now expect a call from the social services, with a view of putting him into care and program of re-education…
Suddenly I’m warming to the idea of lowering the voting age . . .
I am surprised no one has mentioned that appalling “interview” by Evan Davis with Cameron.
I have never witnessed such a display of left-wing bias. Every “question” was just an attack from the left.
His approach and tone in his interview with Ed Miliband will be quite different. It always is with Evan Davis, who makes little or no effort to tune out his political bigotries. Cameron was barely allowed to get a word in edgeways.
Well …why?, how? does he deserve any respect?
don t let him start his usual B/S?, don t let him filibuster?
straight answers, or dog him … he deserves it.
He couldn t lie straight in bed, there is simply no connection between the things he says and what actually happens.
There is not even a connection between how he believes he presents himself – decisive, prime-ministerial – etc … and the reality of the inept, incompetent government he leads.
The reason this soundbite, waste of oxygen is avoiding TV debates is because they involve rigorous and sustained scrutiny. Given that the carefully constructed image of this government could not be further from the actual truth of its ideological driven incompetence, he simply has to run scared, chicken out.
Camoron’ s refusal to take part in the TV debates is just part of the toryboy pattern of avoiding scrutiny, this needs to be hammered home, tonight along with, the facts, as to why,
ie their lies on the deficit, the rest of the economy, the NHS, jobs, the effects of their version of welfare. Immigration.
The biggest … why? they can t tell the truth about any possible future tory plans?
I know, the governments orchestrated plan, is to get squabbling
between those in the debate, and heat off of Camoron
… but If its done right it could bury him, and there should still be the “empty chair” to highlight his cowardice.
He’s afraid , very afraid of ‘The Peoples Army’ leader. I am surprised and amused that Al Beeb does not exploit this ?
One can suppose that, to complete the No10 orchestration of this whole embarrassing charade.
They will have those very people who have weasled
out of this debate hilariously pontificating over it, at the end,
The BBC ought to be ashamed … No10 want a Tory free debate, so after keep it that way … stick it to them on their lies, and no Tory/Lib commentators post debate

Al Beeb is reporting a windfall of £1.3m for UKIP . Al Beeb is not going to very happy.
Nigel Farage seems happy though! The Express is the only channel fair to UKIP. It wont be long until we get the ‘Porn King Richard Desmond…’ stories.

‘Labour have managed to get Jo Brand to do their latest election broadcast.’
Gosh, HIGNFY on early this week?
This morning on Radio Five “gets much worse” Live, Nicky “Gameshow” Campbell was greatly enthused about tonight’s opposition leaders’ debate. Why was this? Was he asked by his bosses to promote this meaningless debate, knowing as they do that very few sensible people would wish to waste their lives away listening to the banalities that will pour out of the mouths of the participants? According to John “Red” Pienaar, Mr. Ed has spent two whole days preparing for this debate, which according to his simple mind makes Mr. Ed obvious prime ministerial material. If he has to spend this amount of time preparing for a debate with opposition leaders, then clearly he is not up to the job. The so-called political content on Radio Five Live nowadayas is so banal as to make anyone turn off completely from this election. Clearly time to abolish the licence fee and to send “Gameshow” bck to the gameshow circuit. I rest my case!
https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/end-the-bbc-licence-fee
The six O’clock news and someone from Save the children pops up yet again. “We can’t watch people drowning of the coast of Europe”.
School places next somehow the reporter dumbs this down to the lowest level by somehow weaving the old woman who lived in a shoe into the story. Rising birth rates and immigration. Hang on a second rising birth rates caused by….. Yes school places reduced by immigration I think.
NHS funding crisis. Now there’s a story we’ve never heard before.
Only they are not “drowning off the coast of Europe ” . As Pounce of this site has shown they are drowning a couple of miles off the Libyan Coast. If the Libyans could stop slaughtering each other for a minute they might be able to run a coastguard service of sorts, might even run a police force to stop the boats being launched. No, Europe is the victim here, being taken for mugs by all involved, the “refugees” , the criminal gangs, Libyan political groups, the whole bloody lot of them. It is because Europe is run by a bunch of political pygmies that this mess is happening. Not that the bbc and fellow common purpose groups will tell you.
It is all starting to fall apart ! Shortage of school places and NHS in crisis .
Al Beeb finally admits its due to immigration/migration (I am amazed! ) but dilutes this statement by adding ‘growing birth rate’ and aging population.
More boatloads coming this way soon – what is our ‘so called’ government doing about this ?
Vote UKIP
Aging population?
Didn’t you know that Birmingham is the ‘youngest’ city in Europe?
Seventy-seven percent black or brown twenty-three percent east European too?
picture
The ‘growing birth rate’ is skewed. A shortage of Gar(r)ys and a surplus of Mo/u/hamm/i/o/uds. Perhaps some of the 8000 churnalists in the ‘Living Room Tax’-funded news and current affairs cubicle farm could find out why?
Just turned on the T.V to a party election broadcast by the Labour party, but initially I assumed that it was BBC “comedy” because the disgusting Jo Brand was sneering on about voting Labour in her usual snide way……
Saw that I didn’t comment as it’s not just BBc. Well when I saw I saw it I mean the minute or so I could stomach of it.
Bowen just can’t help himself.
Nasty, sly little shit.
Quite right hadda.
Heard this slimeball imply that the Israeli state was possibly a factor in the persecution of Christians in Palestine and other places in the Middle East.
Heard him say this on the Today show a few days back, as Mishal Husein attempted to handle the need to “advertise” Kill the Christians with the need to speak of “certain minority groups” that seemed not to find favour with the Muslims.
Let`s not mention the fact that the Jews and Christians were once NOT “minorities”-just allowed to live and worship in the Holy Land that Islam took for itself.
Bowen may well have been lazy and clumsy-my wife thought so-But having heard Bowen over many years-he`ll not be unhappy to be smearing Israel en passant.
Creep!
BBC political correspondent Vicky Young interviews Mark Reckless prior to the debate, where Mark makes the point that Nigel Farage will take politics back to the centre ground. Cue Ms. Young tailing her interview stating
“There we are, you heard it here, Nigel Farage taking politics to the centre ground”…. followed by smirk.
Cut back to Ben Brown, who cannot help himself with a dismissive laugh. He of course was the hapless **** who got both barrels from Victoria Ayling (UKIP candidate) when he interviewed her in Grimsby. Truth still hurts obviously.
Farage says social housing for British nationals only, next to no one applauds, so if (its a big ‘IF’ is a bBC audience remember) the audience is an accurate cross section of the UK, the vast majority are fully prepared to give up our housing stock to brand new arrivals?
WTF?
Like you say Geoff, it’s a BBC audience.
anyone notice how much time ed is having on the bbc debate
Keep sticking it to the lefty ‘carefully’ selected audience Nigel.
Appalling left wing bias of the BBC laid bare.
The BBC is an absolute disgrace, a partisan audience again.
what a disgrace the election debate is with its carefully selected SWP/UAF audience
Nigel farage is up against 4 socialists, ones left wing, the other far left, then extreme left and finally loony left
Just saw this on Breitbart
20:43 Is the audience balenced???
UKIP does not do well in London, it is far stronger elsewhere in England. Here is the audience selection policy:
*******
Format for tonight’s debate
BBC Election Debate 2015
4. There will be a live audience selected by a reputable polling company mainly from the surrounding region.
*******
That means they are from London, which is a separate BBC region to the South East (where UKIP is strong).
4. There will be a live audience selected by a reputable polling company mainly from the surrounding region.
Well spotted! You’ve nailed it.
Terrible, terrible sound quality from the uk’s “premier” broadcaster
Dimbelby carefully interrupts farage at end of his speel to avoid any chance of applause.
(Although with this audience he really need not bother)
So three people who seek power think nuclear weapons are a waste of money because they can’t foresee them ever being used. What do these idiots think the word ‘deterrent’ means.
The non-argument that nuclear weapons do not prevent all wars has also had an outing. Student politics writ large.
oops sorry hit the wrong button
this audience is an f’in disgrace.
But will it lead to many many more people realising just how bias the bbc is?
It’s just that blindingly obvious.
This is a comedy show can UKIP send back the silly Welsh,Scottish and Aussie birds
Dead right Tommy. I think that was evident when Farage’s comment that the majority of people don’t want an International Health Service was met with stony silence. I don’t know ANYONE who would disagree with that statement of his.
BBC unfit to host a debate, an absolute disgrace – they have really shown themselves for what they are tonight.
Two very different takes on this incident, with the BBC being very misleading in their headline…
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32337725
Now, the Express has a very different headline for the story…
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/570965/Christians-thrown-overboard-by-Muslims-sailing-to-Italy-to-claim-asylum-in-EU-say-police
david dimblebum just said that the NHS wasnt included in this debate that we’ve chosen.So the cat been let out of the bag.The questions have been picked by an BBC/Mentorn bods.
Can’t believe what I’m seeing on the BBC debate. Its an absolute farce, a left wing love in as the BBC sit there and gloat.
Robin,
Sadly, I can believe everything I see and hear. If the BBC audience is truly representative of the whole of the UK then the UK wants unlimited and uncontrolled immigration, no effective defence, medical treatment given to foreigners ahead of Brits, no attempt to pay off the national debt and Wales/Scotland having a disproportionate say in UK politics. Somehow I don’t think that is what the majority of the UK population wants.
Wow ! 20.50Hrs BBC1. Rigged audience! I’m shocked!
Cheers and name check between Leanne Woods (Plaid C) on BBC debate after Dimbleby had denied the audience being rigged. Also, just beforehand, when Natalie Bennett summarised about the Middle East (and gave a sterling living example of “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”), a gaggle of ‘supporters’ yelped their support.
The audience is shipped in and didn’t read the ‘keep it down’ memo.
It seems that Mr Farage is the only non-fantasist. The only one who can even talk about 300,000 extra people requires x0,000 new homes. What a state our politics is in. The economic incoherence of Ed, Leanne, Natalie and Nicola is depressingly breath-taking. Basic supply and demand. And their faux concern for the poor is sickening considering the impoverishment that would result from the implementation of their ‘policies’ (a term I hesitate to associate with the incoherent ramblings I am being offered.)
And Nigel isn’t the one who wants to hoover up skilled Liberian/Malaysian/Nigerian Doctors and nurses who mustn’t have sick people to attend to in their own countries. But that’s the nasty, inherently immoral LibLabConGreenSNP idea of foreign aid! Nick all their doctors and send them some aid money that we don’t even have! LibLabCon are people farmers, farming our work through taxes and inflation and bribing corrupt governments, so poor people in our country suffer and poor people in foreign countries suffer.
Should we not clean up our own back yard and start training our own young people before we ‘help’ the rest of the world, by depriving Liberia/Malaysia/Nigeria of their desperately needed and highly skilled citizens?
And Special Ed is going race baiting. What a waste of skin Ed Miliband is. He has learned his art well. Divide and rule!
In case you didn’t realise. I’ll be voting UKIP
“In case you didn’t realise. I’ll be voting UKIP”
Really.
I would never have guessed it, if you had not told us how many times is it now?
One more. Vote UKIP. 😉
Only the bbc could get itself an audience from London that is not only left wing, but one which supports the SNP more than Milliband!
Even the Labour Party will be complaining about bbc bias.
This is the BBC’s Stalingrad moment.
Watching tonight’s debate, its Nigel vs the rest. He’s way above the rest wrt to honesty, common sense and standing up for the interests of ordinary people, who weren’t remotely represented in the audience!
I couldn’t help but notice the people asking the questions
1- White woman
2- White woman
3- Black woman
4- Black man
5- White man
How very BBC.
Notice it was a black man who asked the entirely reasonable question that immigration was in danger of putting public services at risk. The left loves to split everything along lines of race and can’t grasp the concept of someone who is not white being a patriotic Brit. How disgustingly racist of them.
I noticed the first questioner, but the gender and skin tone of the others passed me by.
The first questioner was a pretty young lady with fair skin and light auburn hair. She asked about the debt. The national debt.
To summarise for that young lady, UKIP acknowledge the problem and given the opportunity will act to cease the increasing debt burden that continues to be accrued by LibLabCon (to maintain their power). LibLabConGreenSNP will continue racking up the debt until many more of the population will be ‘poorer’ and unable to live comfortably in a home that they aspire to make for themselves.
Young people really should vote UKIP. And go do a science degree paid for by the taxpayer!
The Future’s Bright! The Future’s Purple!
“The Future’s Bright! The Future’s Purple!”
Do you really think we are going to get a national coalition between red and blue parties after this election?
The way its going – quite possibly yes.
Are they dubbing in applause?
Call me Mr Conspiracy theorist but are the audience not clapping when there is load sounds of clapping?
Natalie Bennett tells us she came here as an immigrant and loved our country and way of life so much, she became a British citizen. If that’s the case, why does she want to flood it with immigrants and completely transform it?
She actually said that she ‘chose to’ become British. This makes no sense to me. Surely she should be ‘invited’? Otherwise, we could theoretically have the population of the entire world make this choice. I don’t think the NHS could cope!
Total arrogance and nonsense from Natalie Bennett.

A migrant is a Briton who doesn’t live here yet.
A very green audience.
A very orange dimbleby.
Apart from Coco the green clown, they all said they wanted to control immigration. This means they all agree with Nigel Farage who they all vehemently disagreed with. Only career politicians can contort themselves like that.
Wee Jimmy Krankie’s efforts to cosy up to Milliband by inferring that, as distasteful as the prospect of working together was, they had a duty to keep Cameron out was political opportunism at its most cynical. If Krankie had a shred of decency she would be ashamed of herself.
No chance. She’s Teflon coated. Shame lies elsewhere and always.
Farage comes across as a pretty reasonable bloke and has a great delivery. I’m as metropolitan elitist as they come and I think the EU referendum idea would a spectacular catastrophe on every level but I can see his appeal. His misfortune is that the collapse of the hard right means ukip attracts a 10% hardcore of nut jobs and racists thus alienating 50% of its potential support.
The one time I attended a Question Time recording in person, the recording took place between 9.30 and 10.30. Which must mean that dimbleby will be using the same bleeding lefty audience for another 1 hour of unbiased shat.
Every party has their racists and nut jobs, social media is telling us that now. To be honest, from where I sit, the Labour Party are the biggest racists out there. Why anyone would vote for this shower is beyond me..but then I’m not a racist.
Sky News just now: Faisal Islam to Adam Bolton – something like ‘The audience didn’t represent the centre-ground of British politics.’ Cited response on nuclear disarmament, etc.. Remarkable. Dig at the Beeb? Maybe.
Robin Brant is well exercised by Richard Desmond’s donation to UKIP. He posted a sarcastic tweet about the Express writing a ‘Farage won it’ headline for tomorrow’s paper before the debate began. Very funny. Brant would be better employed wondering how Beeb headlines are written. Their ‘Miliband won it’ headline for tomorrow was written the day Mili junior stabbed his brother in the back. The ‘… beam in your own eye…’ verse comes to mind.
Judge not and ye shall not be judged. Acquit and ye shall be acquitted?
Face your judgement Brant! You are biased! Do your job right to earn an acquittal!
BBC report on Debate:
–“UKIP leader Nigel Farage has accused those attending the BBC’s election debate of being a “left-wing audience” before suggesting “the real audience are sitting at home”. —

BBC. Political bias. BBC 1 about 2225Hrs.
Rita Chakrabati and some ‘worm’ expert telling us that Ed Miliband is coherent on immigration?? (WTF?) and Farage is of course divisive and nasty. That is political science, BBC style. And the boffin guy’s got glasses and a title. Thanks for that BBC, I now know how I ought to be thinking.
This is bias. The premise of the discussion between these two lefty troughers, is measuring the emotional response (rather than considered response) of a selected (randomly of course) section of the population (no pressure on them then). And the scientific conclusion? That people think the british taxpayer should finance social housing (and lots of it) for non-British people, when British people have a housing shortage? Could you make this nonsense up? Do they even engage their brains? Either the BBC science sucks, or the sample of people have lost their sense and contact with reality.
That picture of Sturgeon, Bennett and Wood closing in on Ed to shake his hand at the end was particularly gruesome. It reminded me of the three witches in Macbeth when they told him he was going to be king. The shape of things to come? Cameron better get his finger out.
