    So lefties wont get judgemental about people who join ISIS but go ballistic about people joining UKIP.”

    How much more does this apply to the BBC?

    Current series “Treasures of the Indus”, in which, so far at least, the BBC whitewashes Islam.

    “BBC religions. Mughal Empire (1500s, 1600s)
    Last updated 2009-09-07

    There had been Muslims in India long before the Mughals. The first Muslims arrived in the 8th century.

    Gujurat mosque, a one-storey stone building with arches along its facade Ahmedabads Jama Masjid (Grand Mosque)
    was built in the 15th century in Gujarat ©
    In the first half of the 10th century a Muslim ruler of Afghanistan invaded the Punjab 11 times,
    without much political success, but taking away a great deal of loot.

    A more successful invasion came at the end of the 12th century. This eventually led to the formation of the Delhi Sultanate.

    A later Muslim invasion in 1398 devastated the city of Delhi.

    The Mughal Empire grew out of descendants of the Mongol Empire who were living in Turkestan in the 15th century.
    They had become Muslims and assimilated the culture of the Middle East, while keeping elements of their Far Eastern roots.

    They also retained the great military skill and cunning of their Mongol ancestors,
    and were among the first Western military leaders to use guns.”

    That is what the BBC has to say, note that these Asians have somehow become “Western military leaders”.

    There are dissenting opinions.

    And many other where the disgusting behaviour of these animals is treated at length in graphic detail.
    Muslims are enemies, simply because of their beliefs.

    Unless I am mistaken there was no mention of the migrant situation on the 2pm R4 news today, despite Denmark closing its rail/road links with Germany. Has the BBC decided that the ‘science has been settled’? Does it prefer to report nothing at all than anything negative? Or has it just got bored with the whole thing?

    In any case, here’s a little snippet of what’s been going on at Keleti Palyaudvar in Budapest. Migrants chanting ‘ – you!’ at the police during a disturbance of some sort. Apologies if posted before.

    Of course if you read the whole story she solicited the reply and a proper barrister says “it doesn’t make him sexist; it is just perfectly natural behaviour.” But don’t let that get in the way of your male-bashing Beeb!

    I’m more astounded that a barrister has skin thinner than Tesco Value Toilet paper. I’m sure all the major law firms will be on the look out to hire her especially now they know she will air her laundry in public if she feels she has been wronged.

    Not exactly a victory for equality.

    _85470447_serbia1.png

    picture shows a “square-jawed police officer with close-cropped hair nuzzling a young Syrian boy.”

    The photo, taken by BBC Radio 4 journalist Manveen Rana was retweeted and favourited thousands of times. Rana snapped the picture near a crossing in southern Serbia, where a group of migrants including Syrians and Iraqis had arrived after walking all night.
    Lucky you would think
    However she said on Radio 4
    [“Bear this on mind next time you thought Serbs are [genocidal] people,” one Serb commented, while another said: “Finally some truth about Serbs, that is the true face of Serbia, not all 90’s propaganda.” There was also criticism of Western media and of the BBC in particular – many Serbs feel they’ve been unfairly portrayed in the media.”]

    The message seems to be: You thought we were mass murderers, but you were wrong. Look at me cuddling a refugee. The BBC is its own worst enemy.

      Now, what are the chances of a “refugee” child wearing the same clothes as that boy that “drowned” last week in Turkey? From the picture above and of the pictures of the little boy “drowned” quite high:

      Note the shirt has no collar, note it is the same colour, note the sleeves are the same length, note the trousers are the same colour, note the length of leg is the same, note the hair length of the child, note the hair cut of the child and note the height of the child. In another photo of the “drowned” child, some sort of pattern/writing can be seen on the front of the shirt when being carried by the Turkish policeman.

      This young lad gets about somewhat doesn’t he, especially as he is supposed to be dead. Pity we couldn’t see his shoes now isn’t it?

    After not reporting the protest in Rotherham highlighting the continuing issue of Islamic child gang rape, or the riot by Islamic adherents afterwards
    BBC now decides to report? … that the police think those type of protests are … “unhelpful”
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-34206507
    South Yorkshire Police have claimed demonstrations against failures to adequately investigate child abuse are costing the force too much money. The chief constable and the crime commissioner (PCC) dubbed the protests “unhelpful” and say they should stop. But one protest group said they had a right to highlight police “failings”.

    “Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of Britain First, said:
    “South Yorkshire Police’s call to end demonstrations for monetary reasons is indicative of where their priorities have lain over the last 16 years, not with the children of Rotherham.
    “Recent reports state that South Yorkshire Police are still failing the children of Rotherham as reports of similar cases continue to flood in and 160 police officers are under investigation for ignoring the victims pleas –
    it is therefore no surprise that the police want these protests stopped.”
    “If Britain First has to take to the streets to highlight the failings of South Yorkshire Police in order to protect innocent children then that is what we will continue to do.”

    Whether Britain First or not … we should not, “shoot the messenger”.

    Ali Bongo’s Ol’ Snack Bar!

    Fergal Keane is a particularly annoying BBC foreign correspondent – and he has quite some competition there – it turned into a premier league since the corporation let loose its virtuous battalions upon the migrant crisis

    Keane probably aims for that lyrical tone of old Erin ‘….and so they came, the old, the young, one on crutches, one young man carrying his elderly mother on his back…’

    To me this is unctious crap, but I suppose, each to his own.

    What I found additionally uncomfortable about our Fergal’s recent Greek shoreline encounter with another boatload of call-them-what-you-will was his description of their ‘cries of relief’ on arrival on the coast of Europe.

    I feel Mr Keane sanitised somewhat for our consumption

    In fact the occupants on the large rubber dinghy shouted (I translate) Allah is great.

    I was watching Look North last night, our local BBC news, it had a piece about what people in this area were going to be doing to help these “refugees”, who are coming here. There was an interview with the principal of Queen Ethelburga’s School, an independent day / boarding school near York, who said that they would be offering 20 boarding places (gratis) to Syrian children. The fees for boarders are circa £10,000 per annum.
    The reporter from LN clearly thought this wonderful; I formed a slightly different opinion – if this private school was able to offer 20 such places; then why not give them to 20 academically gifted, British kids from poor backgrounds? The ones who could could really fulfil their potential if they attended such a school, instead of falling through the cracks of our defective state education system.

    The next feature in the piece was concerned an older couple from Harrogate, who were going to house a “refugee” in their own home. WTF? If they are so full of the milk of human kindness, why not take in a homeless ex-serviceman? Or foster a British child whose had a dreadful start in life?

    What is this obsession with wanting to help foreigners at the expense of your own folk who are in need? Why are there so many people in this country, from the top of our f*****g government (via our Overseas Aid budget) down to clowns like these three in Yorkshire, who seemingly prefer to offer support to anybody and everybody ahead of their fellow Brits?

    Charity begins at home, all these tw@ts need to realise it: or soon we won’t have a country we would want to call home.

    bBC Points West spends 7 minutes with studio guests remembering Bristol’s first black ward sister, Princess Cambell who has sadly died. The guests recall how she overcame adversity (read racism) to reach the position. She was also the first black employee of WD & HO Wills.

    Indeed, we see what a humerous and lovely lady she was from a 2011 interview, when she was awarded an MBE, but then the bBC describe her as an ‘activist’

    Two questions here, if we were so damned racist how did she manage to attain the positions she did, and if it was so bad why didn’t she return home, or even retire there and why is a black death more newsworthy to the bBC than any other? IMO such story’s are actually racist and provoke bad feeling. I’m sure most of the patients she looked after during her career didn’t care or even notice her colour.

    High time the bBC looked beyond colour, the rest of us mere more deep rooted mortals are expected to….

    However, there’s plenty of subtle propaganda to indicate which way they want us to think. The usual Hungarians bad, Germans good, etc.

      I like this bit in the BBC ‘report’:
      About 300 managed to run to a nearby motorway, chanting “Germany, Germany”. As darkness fell, they were walking, escorted by police, towards Budapest, 170km (105 miles) away.

      followed shortly by:
      A shortage of buses to take them to a new registration centre just 2km away

      So, the Hungarians are implicitly blaimed for not providing buses to save the migrants/colonists/invaders a short walk yet the same people are sufficiently motivated and happy to walk the 170km to Budapest?

      Also note the carefully chosen photograph. It’s nearly all men but Shami and Ahmad have been asked to be at the front to emphasise the women and children angle. Meanwhile, Ibrahim is on the phone placing his order for the new iPhone 6S.

    Okay, at least they’ve reported it but could you imagine if this were white Christian teachers? The story wouldn’t be quietly slipping down the page, it’d be frontline news for days with endless analysis from ‘experts’. Remember how the BBC and the Left were in uproar when anyone even suggested that the Trojan Horse affair was happening on a wide scale? I think we all know what is happening within much of Islamic ‘education’ in this country. And I think we know what is happening in many mosques throughout the land. Perhaps if the BBC and the the rest of the craven leftie cretins stopped lying and admitted the truth, we might be able to confront head-on what is a problem of epidemic proportions. I ‘wonder’ whether Islamic ‘teachers’ such as these two gonads have anything to do with the huge rise in Islamic extremism and jihadiwaddies running off to join ISIS scum? One thing is for sure; the BBC will never discuss such a connection; they’re too busy reporting Islamaphobia!

    I think we are in a really bad situation now. At best, the flow of migrants is going to continue, slightly abated perhaps by winter, with eastern Europe becoming a corridor; the word passed back to the middle east and north Africa to join the exodus.

    Or, there is going to be something which tips public opinion against the influx. It’s hard to say what this could be. A terrorist attack or some sort of outbreak of mass violence would be explained away by the media; I think it’s more likely opinion will slowly change as public services etc become simply unable to cope. Result: either the implementation of some sort of European wide Australian model of immigration, and/or military action in Syria.

People are just hearing what they want to hear now; all rational debate is out of the window. I would like to share the images of the stone throwing crowd in Hungary on social media, but I know this will just get excused by the social justice warriors.

    I once got sent on a St John Ambulance course and one thing I remember was being taught about ‘triage’ – how to prioritise the giving of help in the best possible way. Sometimes it means ignoring those that are screaming the loudest. It’s a pity we as a society seem to have lost the ability to do this.

The Youtube clips showing they want they want they want is particularly obscene – WHY didn’t being vocal and show this unity in the countries they’ve come from ? instead of demanding their rights and complaining how they are being treated once they’ve set foot in Europe. What DO they expect ? Its hard not to sympathise with the police on the Macedonian border, faced with hordes trying to get through in a violet manner, and of course the cameras pan on crying children. Pity they didn’t show some guts back home. Complaining about the rain, – ok I’m sure the money they spend on their mobile provider would have paid for a raincoat in preparation for the journey. We’re told they’ve fled with nothing, all got their mobiles though !!

    Now, what are the chances of a “refugee” child wearing the same clothes as that boy that “drowned” last week in Turkey? From the picture above and of the pictures of the little boy “drowned” quite high:

    Note the shirt has no collar, note it is the same colour, note the sleeves are the same length, note the trousers are the same colour, note the length of leg is the same, note the hair length of the child, note the hair cut of the child and note the height of the child. In another photo of the “drowned” child, some sort of pattern/writing can be seen on the front of the shirt when being carried by the Turkish policeman.

    This young lad gets about somewhat doesn’t he, especially as he is supposed to be dead. Pity we couldn’t see his shoes now isn’t it?

    Some thoughts not culled from the media.
    This is a serious crisis and one I did not expect before 2020. I have no doubt it is part of Isis strategy to flood Europe with people and infiltrate their own at will. No other explanation really fits. Isis are taking heavy casualties and this is a counter attack manouvre. Whether Turkey is complicit or not will be seen soon.
    The liberal media is out of it’s depth. It cannot continue to manipulate reality much longer. The majority by far are young men of military age and they look well fed and are ready to use violence.
    Our political European class is also useless. Day by day this is becoming clear. Pious hopes and unrealistic targets are all they can offer.
    There is another inviolable rule of life. The persons in charge at the beginning of a real crisis are always replaced by others through necessity. We can expect the current lot to go fairly soon .
    Putin and Russia are key players now whatever the media thinks. Russia will not allow chaos on it’s borders and is determind to preserve Russia as a nation state so I expect Hungary and the other old East to behave in a way that Russia will find acceptable even if it means breaking up the EU. For the purpose of this I include Ukraine, Bylorusse and the Balkan and Baltic States in this . This is reality not useless alliances like Nato and useless political dreams like the EU and Schengen borders.
    We will have to see how this develops but it looks bad and I am not optimistic at all. Of course I could be completely wrong but it is unlikely.

      I do wonder what will happen with countries like Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. They are currently resisting this migrant wave and are being thoroughly hauled over the coals by the EU because of it. But it seems pretty obvious that the EU is losing power (andwill almost be fatally destabilised once the wave is settled), so I wonder if they will go it alone, make a mini-Federation or, despite past enmities, have some kind of “arrangement” with Russia. Putin seems to be pretty switched on with all this and despite the MSM branding him a dictator he hasn’t made many predictions that haven’t indeed come to pass.

      And as far as Putin is concerned, I know very little about him. But considering the BBC hate him I can only feel drawn to him as they seem to hate everyone I like, like Farage, Viktor Orban and the “far right” (yet when you hear his speeches never actually seems to say anything far-right) Geert Wilders.

        The EU North South financial divide and Germany’s productivity (wage squeeze) gain at every other countries expense to which is now added the East West divide (probably really middle v. the rest as the U.K. and Ireland have an opt out) over migrants is opening up ever more fault lines in the behemoth.

      Well, we’re going to find out soon enough. A month from now, or six months or a year… if there really are Islamic State ‘sleepers’ in amongst Merkel’s Migrants, Europe will definitely get to know about it one way or another.

      My suspicion is that you are probably right – Islamic State have doubtless smuggled into Europe hundreds of their footsoldiers, masquerading as ‘refugees’ (you know, those hooded, malevolent thugs the BBC portrays as ‘poor, desperate’ ‘doctors’, architects’, ‘teachers’ and ‘writers’ every night on the TV).

      Perhaps when they’ve had their fill of raping white, underage European girls they’ll get around to their real mission: to bomb, behead and otherwise terrorise free democracies towards Islamic State’s aim of a strict Islamic Sharia European Caliphate.

      Time, as ever, will tell, but a betting man – given how we’ve seen how this kind of thing has already played out with our muslim ‘enrichers’ in several European countries – might already favour certain odds.

    This was Jon Snow to Jeremy Corbyn on Channel 4 News last night. I’m not sure precisely what Jon meant by that – and I suspect he may have misspoke somewhat (possibly distracted by his own dinner party shopping list) – but I do know he likes what he sees of Corbyn. Here’s another chap who has a world view exactly in line with the left-liberal media – and he’s a metropolitan near neighbour.

    As Anne McElvoy wrote in the Evening Standard yesterday ‘With Emma Thompson on the march and Corbyn back on the scene, the dining tables of Islington are politically fired up again’

    Were you perhaps wondering why the BBC were pushing so hard on the migrant issue?

    ‘North London has got its mojo back’

    ‘Its the crowd Tony Blair once appealed to, when the Blairs were just another ambitious legal couple living in Richmond Crescent’

    And the often grumpy with challenging interviewers Corbyn was more than happy to acknowledge Jon Snow’s membership of his tribe ‘Well, you’re a cyclist too’

      For example, the numbers employed in terms of
      a) personal political preferences
      b)the sex make up male/female/transgender
      c)the pay of each individual employed and who are self employed
      d)the religious orientation
      e) their country of birth

      Given that Albeeb is is a public body and that I, as a taxpayer pay their wages, some or all of this information should be in the public domain, in particular with those employees who deliver the news/documentary items.

      Balance not bias should be reflected in a National broadcaster, if they have nothing to hide then reveal the above. Transparency and accountability is essential in maintaining credibility in public bodies.

    Virtue signalling again

    BBC Breakfast sports presenter Mike Bushell is getting us ready for the Rugby World Cup
    “I hope Fiji stay in the competition a long time”
    Apparently they have some good tribal songs of which our Mike approves and he is keen to share his ‘like’ with we Licence Payers.

    Of course what he doesn’t do is to share with us which national team he would like to see make an early exit from the competion so as to make space for his Fijian favourites.

    You see that’s the problem with virtue signalling. It is just like Facebook ‘likes’. You like but you daren’t dislike and as such it it is completely worthless other than as an empty token gesture of self-virtue.

    Don’t get me wrong, sport in this sense is not important – but the principle of BBC bods courting cheap favour in this way too often spills over into important social and political issues. The presenters show virtue but run for cover when it comes to the down side.

    Yeh! take in more migrant kids… what about poor white kids to suffer in overcrowded classes with their teacher struggling to communicate as half the class don’t have English…? Well that’s like asking which team should drop out to keep Fiji in.

      Is it important for the BBC to note that the current Prime Minister of Fiji former Commodore Josaia Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama, Commander of the Republic of Fiji Military Forces, staged a military takeover on 5 December 2006 against the prime minister that he had installed after the 2000 coup? Is it important that the constitution was suspended in 2009?

      The 2015 Index of Economic Freedom ranks Fiji as mostly unfree. Couldn’t imagine the BBC forgetting to remind us of these details in other contexts.

        Rap music is a meaningless wordy drivel with words which depict the singer as being thick. It is a tuneless barrage of words which are difficult to interpret. Teenagers seem to understand them better though. Apparently they have societal meanings in which words like ‘nigger’ are acceptable but only if sang by a black person. It is further encumbered with interspersal array of swear words.

        The Beeb often find this music acceptable to play on its ‘music’ channels. Although I have yet to have heard it on Classic FM.

        In my opinion, rap should have a c posited at the beginning because it is CRAP!
