The BBC has certain narratives that it promotes….a couple of recent ones being that Britain is a nastier more racist place #DuetoBrexit and that Michael Howard [not PM] was a deluded fool for referencing the Falklands and the resolve Thatcher showed in standing up to military aggression. In order to promote those narratives the BBC has of course got to suppress the truth and any news that might undermine the themes so lovingly created by the BBC, and it is ‘The BBC’, the message about what line to take must come from the Head of News and probably approved by Lord Hall Hall himself.
The attack on the Iranian Kurd was heavily promoted by the BBC as a racist attack and instantly associated with Brexit and it was the leading story on the news bulletins all day…however a stabbing of a black man by two other black men just streets away in Croydon from the ‘racist’ attack has all but been ignored by the BBC despite the fact that the stabbed man died and the police announced yesterday that they were launching a murder enquiry…the news of which didn’t even make it to the BBC’s London page….the only reference I can find is on their ‘updates’ page that in itself is only a link to a newspaper report…
Quite astonishing how the BBC ignores this attack….especially when there is so much concern about black on black murder and knife crime. Why do they ignore it? Because to report it would undermine its story of a peaceful community torn apart by racist whites…and never mind that the BBC has wiped from its pages its only mention that the police were looking for some black suspects in relation to the attack on the asylum seeker…the BBC does not even publish pictures of the white defendants in the case in its latest report…again why not? Could it be because they would then have to keep publishing the photos of the black suspects…again undermining the white racists narrative?
I guess black lives and other ethnic minority lives only matter when they can be exploited for the BBC’s own political ends….the more asylum seekers who get attacked the better…..blame Brexit and the racist whites.
Similarly why has the BBC not mentioned that a British warship has had to see off a Spanish gunboat from Gibraltan waters? Again is the BBC trying to keep up the illusion that this is not about sovereignty and that Spain has no serious intent to take over Gibraltar one way or another? Sky reports….
Spanish gunship in illegal incursion into UK waters off Gibraltar
A Spanish gunship has made an illegal incursion into British waters off Gibraltar amid rising Brexit tensions over the territory.
The Gibraltan government said the ship entered territorial waters on Tuesday.
How can the BBC not report that when Gibraltar and Spanish imperialism is making the headlines right now?…also considering that this has happened several times this year already? The BBC is trying to keep up the pretence that it is Britain and its trigger happy politicians like Howard that are the problem whilst the peace-loving Spanish are the victims.
The Spanish should calm down or are they trying to provoke a war ?
The bottom line is that they BBC is trying to convince us that a country defending its territory from invasion is an aggressive act. It’s the perfect example of how the BBC’s moral posturing is always just a means to the end of proving Britain is BAD, BAD, BAD!
Recall when Krazee Kirchner decided to whip up the locals to distract from the tanking economy, so the Falklands’ defences were beefed up?
The BBC ran a Dateline London where Gav and all gathered agreed it was the UK who was ‘sabre rattling’.
Must confess this lead me to doubt how supportive of the nation whose name it bears the BBC is.
