As perfect example of the BBC mindset as you’ll find anywhere surfaced today on 5 Live Daily today(11:15 ish). Discussing migration a UKIP representative, an MEP, said that a major problem was that freedom of movement within the EU meant that as 100s of thousands of EU citizens came to the UK there was less and less room for refugees and asylum seekers who may be in genuine need.
The BBC’s Clare McDonnell dismissed his statement by saying it was an argument put forward by the Right-Wing and presumably in her mind, therefore not worthy of any consideration.
Firstly it’s not an ‘argument’, it’s not philosophy or an abstract notion….it’s the truth. Vast numbers of EU immigrants means there are fewer resources to deal with refugees and far less will in the country to accept them here.
Secondly it’s not a ‘right wing’ attitude…it’s one that is the prevailing view in the country….77% of people want less immigration…because….we’re full up.
McDonnell then gave us another insight into the BBC’s mindset as she declared that ‘We’ll move on from migration and talk about housing now’.
Her attitude, that the housing shortage has nothing to do with immigration, is typical of how the BBC approaches this subject, sweeping under the carpet the uncomfortable truth that if you have 330,000 people a year swarming into the UK, or is it over 550,000 last year now?, it should be apparent to anyone that they need to live somewhere and therefore a housing crisis is the likely outcome of importing so many people.
But no, the BBC wants to separate the issues because it supports uncontrolled immigration regardless of the consequences.
The BBC, power without responsibility. Perhaps the Charter Review panel should start taking a good look at the BBC’s politics as well as its size, scope and structure.
And as we’re on the subjects of the EU, migration and the ‘Right wing’ let’s ask if Germany is going to be the cause of yet another war in Europe..this time, ironically, as it tries to use the EU itself, an organisation supposed to force peace upon us all, to bully and intimidate its neighbours into doing what Germany wants…Germany has unilaterally decided to take in a million migrants, mostly Muslim, but found it couldn’t cope and now is demanding we all do as she tells us…or else.
The Express reports a gloomy future as predicted by various people...
“Our borders are in danger. Our way of life where we respect the law is in danger.
“The whole of Hungary and Europe is in danger.
“The migrants are blitzing us.”
“We’re on the march to war. History is repeating itself.
“It’s a repeat of the 1930s. The crash of 1929, the Great Depression, currency wars, trade wars, world war.
“We’ve got the panic of ’08, the Great Recession, currency wars, trade wars and now we’re seeing the refugees of war sweeping on the shores of Europe.”
He said another big terror attack on society will see an emotional outpouring across the Western world that will then transform into a catastrophic thirst for revenge.
Mr Celente said: “They are leading us to the next great war. All it is going to take is a terror attack and people will be tying yellow ribbons around everything that doesn’t move, waving American flags and we’re off to what Einstein called the whole war scenario.”
“This is chilling. People should be scared to death.”
Now you could just write that off as so much hyperbole and over-excited doom-mongering but it is a scenario that could all too readily come true and is one that should definitely be discussed in relation to the flood of immigrants storming Europe…not just now, or tomorrow or for a few weeks but everyday, every week, every month possibly for years to come an endless tide of humanity seeking ‘a better life’….but what baggage do they bring with them?
The BBC was quite prepared to loudly and repeatedly warn us of an apparent Far Right rise in Europe, ironically whilst at the same time refusing to acknowledge, and in fact doing everything it could to downplay, the very real and growing threat of Muslim radicalism inside Europe. Why is it so reluctant to ‘warn’ us of the threat to our culture, values, beliefs, societies, politics, welfare structures, schools and health services that is posed by the migration of millions of people who have beliefs, values and cultures that are directly opposed to ours?
If you’re a UKIP MEP your views are unwelcome on the BBC but if you’re an Islamic terrorist you must have your reasons, here’s a platform on the BBC to justify your violence.
There are delicate political and social balances in a Democracy. This on going crisis will test our Democracy to the full.
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
..
We used to argue whether communists should be allowed to stand for election in a democracy.
On the one hand there was the democratic principle that anyone should be able to stand for election and on the other hand the fact that should the communists actually win an election it would be the last one and the end of democracy.
In several of our cities the Muslims are getting close to forming a majority, so ‘democracy in action’ could see major changes via local by-laws. “But that is what the people wanted!”
What our politicians and liberal elite fail to grasp is the concept of ‘homeland’. They ‘celebrate’ the culture of China, Pakistan or India while holding that that of the UK apparently doesn’t exist except as ‘British Values’, held in common by every Somali, Pakistani or Syrian.
Migrants from China, Pakistan or India, and their offspring, can be sure that their cultural homelands will always exist, (though maybe not as they remember). The same is not true for migrants from the UK, (well they can become Americans, Australian, Canadians or Maori, who cares), and maybe that shouldn’t be our concern, but what about those who live here whose roots are hundreds of years deep? Oh I forgot, we are all immigrants, we were just lucky to have got here a bit earlier than the rest of the swarm.
The Left has lost the ability (if it ever had it) to frame a cogent argument. Instead it relies on name calling and the power of their selected isms and phobias. Even the names they use are now banal and hackneyed. They have gone so far down the path of self introspection that they genuinely believe that their view is the only valid one, and that any ‘right wing’ view can simply be ignored because it is ‘right wing’.
What is the point of inviting someone from UKIP onto a show if instead of a discussion you only get ‘well that’s a right wing view’?
77% of people ? No no dear you have it all wrong, that figure has only been reached because of infiltration by ‘right wing groups’, and internet trolls, the people think what we tell them to think ! In fact we have been broadcasting a series of propaganda pieces ooops programs ‘examining’ Britains moral responsibilities which we feel the UK has.
When you have thought processes like this, it becomes impossible to even recognise reality let alone present a balanced view to others.
The biggest problem with the BBC is that there is no one standing over it with a big stick shouting NO! and forsing that balance on them.
I wonder how they would feel if after every half hour slot of Billy Bragg, they had to broadcast 30 minutes of Nick Griffin as balance !
Immigration is only one contributing factor to high house prices, in my view.
The main cause is lax lending by the banks during the Labour false-boom years, which led to hyper inflation in house prices. Now that lending has been tightened, ordinary people can no longer afford to buy houses, and prices can’t drop because people are trapped in negative equity. It’s also not worth builders building, because they can’t sell their houses at over-inflated prices, and can’t sell them at lower cost, because it will crash the market. The government keeps interest rates at effectively zero, to prevent repossessions and the whole rotten pyramid scheme collapsing.
However, I hardly ever hear this argument on the BBC. I suspect what the presenter means by ‘the housing shortage has nothing to do with immigration’ simply means ‘Immigration is not to be blamed for anything.’
More people coming in = more houses needed. Simples
On Daily Politics a man from Breitbart said that a check of the bBC website showed that 50%; of the images about refugees showed children, because this tugged at the heart strings. Well the video footage I have seen shows the vast majority to be young men from wherever. The clear implication is that the bBC is deliberately skewing their site to distort the image of the migrant disaster.
Pretty undeniable, I’d have said. The BBC has been pumping the ‘innocent children’ line for weeks now. I’d say Breitbart has them bang to rights.
Ah, yes, Islam. The extremely violently oppressive religion of peace. Plenty of time on the BBC for them to spout their Taqiyya lies. The multicultural BBC will lap it up, right up until Sharia Law is implemented and ALL non-Muslims cultures are exterminated. What will those BBC luvvies say then? Oh well, we had to support the Muslims in order to prevent the rise of right wing extremists? So the BBC, in their delusional fear of fictional right wing extremists taking over, are instead, offering golden embossed invitations to extremely violent racist, sexist and homophobic socialist extremists in the form of the Islamic culture take over our land, one suburb at a time, one school at a time and one institution at a time.
Islam will destroy the very same multiculturalism that the BBC loves, and they cannot even see it!
Britain has been over-populated for a few decades now. We’re not alone – there are many other countries that are even more over-populated than we are. You will hear the argument that the UK is only 10 percent developed (built on or designated to roads, communal parkland/sports fields, etc.). To put that into context, divide your garden into 10 equal plots and tarmac over one of them rendering it useless for growing anything.
These idiots/liars/fraudsters use statistics to mislead the general public into believing the ever-increasing population of Britian is not a problem by using the word ‘only’. The argument for increasing population to even higher levels isn’t tempered by the fact that 10 percent could easily rise to 25 percent lost agricultural and green spaces within one generation!
Historians will look back on these days (if we haven’t already wiped ourselves out in a few generations) as a period in which irresponsibility, dishonesty, self-righteousness and denial, are gift wrapped in emotional blackmail.
We are told time and time again that the UK is one of the richest countries on earth so we can do more. No we can’t! We’re up to our tits in debt!!!
