This could be a great fun week in the world of beebland!
Their report on equal pay will be released, and if advance commentary is correct it looks as though the BBC will not come out of it looking too good. Their hypocrisy will be exposed on an issue which they themselves have been championing for as long as I can remember.
Will be interesting to see how they try to spin it.
‘Market rate talent’ may see a redefinition.
We could see a guy on one side of the BBC Breakfast couch earning more than the gal sitting next to him.
Can’t see this working out well!
I would pay those idiots about £6 an hour, and I’m being genorous, all they do is drink tea and talk shite!
When one organisation dominates the market place with a 70% share the market ceases to function and the dominant player can dictate what it pays its suppliers and in this case its so called talent. The BBC is spendthrift with tax payers money , if it had to fight its corner in the commercial world there is no doubt that it would pay its so called talent much less than it does at present. Just another reason the BBC should be put on a fully commercial footing with a subscription funding system.
Trouble is Double, they all have their snouts in the public purse, so style, ingenuity, skills in journalism, ability to communicate etc are not really high up the agenda of bbbc autocue readers and their ‘management’. Autpmorons really.
Rather like MPs and their ‘staff’, who are only geared to do feck all really, they never get held to account like a normal business model demands. (Sorry Scrobs, do you mean the actual UK businesses which earn their money and pay tax, not just waste it)? er – yes…
OK, election results matter for MPs, (not so much for the electorate) but that seems to come to nothing when there are so many hangers-on who are also in the trough. e.g., why on earth is that pratt Clegg even being plastered all over the news of late? Not even an MP, but still a toad on lame TV snapshots of past failure.
If it is true that female are paid less than the males in the BBC and they equalising pay, then Government should instruct (yes, instruct) the BBC to reduce their male salaries accordingly. We all know that salaries are unwarrantedly high in the BBC, and it would be intolerable if the BBC were to raise the women’s to match the men’s.
Yes this will be fun.
They will squirm due to the lack of pay parity despite lecturing everyone else. Plus they will squirm on the actual astronomical pay packets of many of their staff.
Sadly they won’t squirm in embarrassment at their astronomical pay packets since they are very easily convinced of being worth every penny – and of course there’s no-one to significantly challenge or control how they spend our money anyway. Risibly, that’s the job of our government but they don’t seem bothered.
It’s the same BBC mindset that believes everything in the Guardian and reproduces it as news.
You can bet that Ladies’ salaries will rise to the same level as blokes.
I don’t have a problem with all this one jot, but why has the Commissariat in W1A left it so late? They waste money in all directions already, and I’d have thought that they were really letting themselves down by not paying some decent, clever journos, a decent wedge.
Perhaps they feel that the ladies aren’t up to it? Can’t think of another reason.
Also, will we learn of some of the colluded re-muneration schemes to avoid employers national insurance and high rate income tax ?
Plus the raids on the LF to prop up Bark Myford’s poorly performing pension fund?
Can anyone think of a more lucrative ‘job’ after leaving Yuni with a degree (in SOME cases in journalism ! ) than getting a job on the tele, because if they’re not earning 6 figures, then its very high 5 figures, – unheard of when working for provincial rags.
Here is the list of BBC managers earning over £150K
http://www.bbc.co.uk/corporate2/insidethebbc/managementstructure/biographies/
Take a look at some of those job titles. I doubt many of these jobs needs any education or qualifications….
Director of Audiences. FFS, what is that?
Head of Entry Level Talent
Former Director of Scripted
Former Head of BBC Films – Does the BBC make films or just show them like most of the Freeview channels?
Director, Marketing & Audiences
Head of Strategic Change and Portfolio Management
and so on…
Rotten and corrupt to the core.
It almost equals the titles of ‘managers’ in the NHS !!!!
Found this NHS report that confirms … if you have no religion (or don’t hold beliefs that demand special privilege) you are less likely to be discriminated against ?
Oh, wait … it didn’t summarise that at all, I think I got that wrong.
If you have special demands or beliefs (90%) then we will cave into them at a cost to the general public who don’t have special demands and beliefs (10%).
“For the Many (with special demands), Not the Few (who get on with life)”
Making the difference Diversity and inclusion in the NHS {kingsfund.org.uk – Making the difference – dec2015}
– took 3 NHS paid workers to generate this report, with no cost of report or salaries attached.
Michael West – Head of Thought Leadership
Mandip Kaur – Consultant, Leadership Development – “Mandip is passionate about diversity”
Jeremy Dawson – (no information or links available)
What is “thought leadership”?????
I think Director of Audiences turns up at Question time and such progs and says “you sit over there, you there, you there” etc.
That’s a new one on me, Guest!
Haven’t heard of that, but perhaps I’m really not surprised.
Just one more unique:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/bbc/10570964/BBC-to-pump-740m-of-licence-fee-payers-cash-into-pension-scheme-deficit.html
Aaaah, just like the proportion of the poll tax then.
Gordon Brown on instructions from that other rat around then, Blair, raided my self-paid pension to pay for town hall pensions.
Thanks a bunch Brown, you commercially illiterate moron.
Also, will we learn of some of the colluded re-muneration schemes to avoid employers national insurance and high rate income tax ?
TODAY WATCH
still limiting exposure to 30 minutes .
But…. 0730… long feature on the PREVENT strategy which gleefully declared that a third of those referred to it are potential’ extreme right winger’ associated to edl and others. An Asian reporter interviewed someone using the voice of her producer to cover the punters identity.
I gave up before the end in disbelief. It was classic al Beeb twisting of reality. It shows thatPREVENT is being used as a political tool and not purely a counter terrorism one. As far as I heard neither Muslim or Islam or Isis was mentioned. I almost laughed at this and felt the urge to dust of my well read copy of 1984. We really are going there.
On the basis that probably half of prevent is being used on domestic – Christian – potential threats as identified by the state any one stating non liberal or non multicultural views are on the states’ target list. In other words – ladies and gentlemen- we are probably on a list somewhere. Frightening isn’t it?
I really chose my user name well didn’t I?
Update
Later in the programme the Welshman – humpreys – had a chat with a so-called academic of fascism when they chewed over right wing threats . How comfortable they were. One mention of islam then get stuck into English Nationalism .
Not a lot of pretence about lack of al beeb bias . The false academic is a kid called Paul stocker . Since there was no one there to give balance I looked him up on twitter. Guess what? Anti brexit anti Trump and comments akin to a kidult like so much on that largely infantile site. Enough.
Fedup,
The BBC, world leaders in Fake News.
Academics and scientists.
Fast becoming the go-to people for all BBC factual news and analysis. Hardly ever see someone of any serious practitioner experience in the subject at hand coming forward to discuss.
Are they ever asked?
Simple answer – real business people aren’t going to waste time posturing to immature questions from beeboids who are not really commercial enough to understand real work.
Academics and their ilk love it, especially on the same terms as that stupid clown Abbott and her mates.
Worth repeating here .
Very interesting, thanks. My comment to it is that I think most of the left-wingers do know they are doing it, but don’t care. Two examples come to mind immediately (there are so many…) – today
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-40627847
Another seemingly senseless (accident?) loss of life at the hands of the US police, BBC comments:
‘Over the past few years the US has seen a series of civilian killings at the hands of police that have caused widespread concern and criticism.’ No mention of race, riots as a result etc, because this woman is white and Australian. I suspect there will be little widespread outrage or rioting.
The other example is the widespread media cover up of the details of this shooting:
http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/05/coulter-immigrant-of-the-week-henry-bello-obotetukudo/
A great piece by Ann Coulter – not racist at all, but a really intelligent analysis of why so many immigrants fail to integrate into Western society and then end up as criminals, sadly often shooters. Of course the politicians and media don’t want to look at the truth because it doesn’t reflect their rosy world of multiculturalism.
He was never asked “which is the greater danger ?”
I reckon most of the referrals about right wing extremism will be over reactions to someone not been keen on immigration , and most of the Islamic extremism won’t be reported at all .
The couldn’t care less Dr Who story makes front page news, you really have to ask yourself why. Meanwhile on the Breakfast sofa as they take comments from more than one view, which lets face it is a novelty for the BBc these days The parrot faced female sloth pulls a face like she just ate a lemon as the other sloth reads a comment from Whovians who will no longer be watching the pc crapfest. Her college crumples the note into a ball.
Elsewhere I read the “BBc” are going to provide “protection” to their talent when wage details are released on Wednesday. You would have thought if they were worth it their wouldn’t be an issue.
Protection from whom though?
Although people like Lineker are leftie snowflakes the really nasty Strumabteilung of the Fascist Left hate them with a passion. Why don’t the BBC indicate where they see the threat coming from which necessitates spending all this taxpayers money?
Dr Who yawnfest continues at 09:00 hey no one on to say they aren’t going to watch it anymore. So BBc back to normal with a one-sided debate.
Been watching The Loch on Itv.
Two female detectives eventually solve a serial killer case, in which all the suspects are male.
Elsewhere we have Happy Valley (same plot as above), Broadchurch (Ditto), Fearless, not to mention the Scandi wooly jumper series. And now, Dr Whoette.
Are male hero leads actually banned fron TV these days?
A debate unlikely to feature on the bBBC any time soon.
Sluff, its happening all around the world too. Did you not see the new 10 part Spanish thriller on Saturday night on BBC4 ? (subtitled dramas on BBC4 tend to be the only things worth watching). It had the main prosecuting lawyer as a woman, with her male colleague depicted as a bed-hopping dipstick ! (the male equivalent of a blonde bimbo I suppose)
Stuff, it is because the BBC make all female characters strong, that actually make news of a female Dr Who at best not news and actually just plain boring. In the Archers all the females are stronger than the male halves (well they were, I haven’t listened since the producers pushed Nigel off the roof); Inspector Lynley was always dependent on his cleverer working class female sidekick, even in Poldark boring old Aiden is reduced to smouldering eyes looking up while Demelza is the strong character. Again the fuss the BBC are making over a female appointment, surely someone’s gender shouldn’t matter.
I actually enjoyed that series until the slightly naff twist in the tail. But now you mention it I see exactly what you are saying.
Dave,
I haven’t watched Dr Who for decades but if this new Doctor wears leather and offers enough flesh then I might be persuaded to take up where I left off in the eighties. Has anything of note happened since then? I’m sure that she won’t be a blue stocking academic. Anyway leather, flesh and plenty of pouting is just what the doctor ordered. I’m sure the feministas will be pleased with the increase in male viewing figures that my suggested formula will bring.
Stopped watching Dr Who after the first bloke in the crap Edwardian castoffs had to ‘confront’ some sort of plastic compost heap wandering around with a sort of a dick as a nose and gibbering rubbish.
The dicknose suffered serious problems when it eventually reached a flight of stairs…
Just waiting for the BBC to report the shocking and terrible news that there’s been a fire at the Manchester Nasfat Islamic Centre, however now the politcal correctness enforcement squad we used to know as “the Police” have now upgraded this into being a Mosque – despite the fact it clearly isn’t. Local Muslims are convinced this was an ‘islamofaubik’ attack and therefore the PCES will treat it as if it is.
“A spokesman for the centre said there was no one at the centre at the time, and that they received a call in the night to say ‘it was being attacked’.”
Yeah because every arsonist phones you up in the middle of the night to tell you what they’re doing! Looking at the building its a scruffy wreck before it caught light so this might well turn out to be yet another self ignition for a Muslim group looking for a new building and a nice insurance claim whilst blaming whitey, and a snowflake press and government only to willing to believe everything they say !
You would have thought with the “massive” increase in “hate crime” North West were bleating on about this last night whilst covering some meeting where it appeared about 10 people had turned up for solidarity the site would be covered by cctv. I’ll look forward to the press showing the footage, if it exists.
Thoughtful,
I don’t think Islam allows insurance cos it’s gods will ( or that might be a policy exclusion) anyway – seemed the same for the tenants in that burnt tower block. My family has never been well off but always insured rather than paying for Sky or some other overpriced tv provider.
http://www.islamic-banking.com/takaful_insurance.aspx Apparently.
Thanks for the information Dave,
I generally don’t want to know about their following but you kind of confirm my comment . Don’t worry though- there was a rip round and the burnt out tenants are all getting detached houses in Kensington – their ‘home ‘ community .,
Be nice to find out the actual number of occupiers who actually were insured, Fed.
Somewhere between none and 5%?
Thank God for that, it keeps my premiums down at any rate.
Ok so slightly off topic Maybe, But here we go begining of the Week, and BBC News (which is a News Channel ?)
ok So big story Lots of Air time and interview, Jovial Talk ,
Big Scoop – The BBC New Doctor Who Actress –
Now isnt this self Promotion of the BBC yet again – Advertising to a form.
This is Hardly News in my opinion,
This morning I expected the BBC to demonstrate what a responsible, globally respected, impartial broadcaster it claims to be and lead it’s news channels with the shocking news that The Labour Party lied through it’s dentures about wiping out the £110 billion student debt; that it’s whole manifesto was based on a fraud and the young people who had voted for it were misled and deceived in the worst possible way.
All I got instead was the news that Dr Who will now be a woman.
I’m off to the bookies to put a few quid on Nadiya being the next reincarnation.
“For the Many (u-turns in the Labour Manifesto to come), Not the Few (costed bits of the Labour Manifesto)”
Not sure who Nadiya is, but should we wish him luck?
I suppose I should stop reading good novels, serious gardening, seeing the countryside, talking for hours with Mrs Scroblene about close family and friends, seeing the gorgeous birds on the new bird table, riding my bike in the hedgerows (more often than you’d think after a tincture or three), and just hearing real life go on around me without the electric wireless or the television.
So all my news comes from here, with an anecdote or three from Guido and perhaps a glance at The Express occasionally.
Life’s too short to consider anything from the bbbc.
BBc Right on the money my kitchen table is less wooden than Denise Lewis
I can’t imagine how she got the job ……….
LOL Lobster I almost added that phrase to the post.
Only because she was in some TV prog about a copper from some uni town…
The main bloke drank beer at lunchtime, because it helped him to think!
Nothing wrong with that…
According to the DM, halal labelling is to be rolled out.
I beg any animal lovers to avoid ANY halal meat. All meat involves a degree of cruelty to animals. but halal especially so.
And never believe the liars who talk about a surgical painless cut. If you have the stomach, look at some smuggled out videos on how ‘clean’ the process is. Why is everything about that medieval cult so cruel and barbaric?
Lord help us.
I’ve tried to avoid it for the last 10 years I even had a complaint with the BBc many years ago when one of the followers of the cult said it was the “best meat” on a cookery program of course as with all my complaints to the BBc I was wrong. That means I don’t give Subway or KFC and others my custom and have not for several years.
There is nothing particular pleasant about any of the ways in which animals are slaughtered, as a visit to even the best run abatoir will quickly confirm. Other important issues besides the actual method of killing include: hygiene; traceability; quality of life of the animals; the type of foodstuffs they ate. For most human beings who have ever existed, being able to obtain any meat-based protein at all has been a priority and a luxury – the notion that animals have to be slaughtered in a particular manner, or that certain plentiful and nutrious meats are off-limits for so-called religious reasons, is bizarre. The issue here is that meat which has been killed according to halal methods should be clearly labelled as such, so those who want to avoid it or those who wish to eat it can do so. At present, the majority of chicken sold in British supermarkets and a substantial percentage of the lamb (including most New Zealand lamb) is halal, without any legal requirement for it to be labelled as such. In fact, unless you are a vegetarian or eat only pork then you are almost certainly consuming halal meat on a regular basis.
By way of precedent, consider the current labelling requirements for most foodstuffs. We are told: country of origin; salt, sugar, fat levels; ingredients; additives; preservatives; whether it is organic; allergens; calorific value and so on. It is clearly believed by the powers that currently be that such information is important, yet on this they are strangely quiet.
Developing animal-free meat
Posted on May 28, 2017 ( Israelactive.com)
Previously reported (24th July) about Israel’s SuperMeat which is culturing meat to save the planet. Israel is now the center of this new industry and held the first-ever Cultured Meat Conference at Israel’s Technion Institute. Also, some videos from … to continue reading search Israelactive.com )
Quorn?
If the process of producing ‘Halal’ meat adds to the cost or means you are supporting a way of life such as employing an imam who has to read a book to an animal that is about to die, but the animal does not understand it, or the words being read out. Then details must be added to the food labels – possibly with a picture of the imam (Shia, Sunni?), the version of the Koran read out at the time of the animals death (Wahhabism?) into it’s non-Arabic ears.
I am vehemently against halal. Mostly vegetarian anyway, but out of interest, I don’t suppose chickens are stunned before slaughter anyway? And I don’t think they will bring in this labelling as it spells 1) higher prices 2) lower sales.
http://www.nationalchickencouncil.org/national-chicken-council-brief-on-stunning-of-chickens/
Really interesting thankyou, and I’m glad it’s in the USA. No mention of halal as far as I looked.
“By way of precedent, consider the current labelling requirements for most foodstuffs.

But to trace illegal immigrants – forget it. We don’t do that do we…
Thanks Blair. you duplicitous arsehole.
Dhaka flooding: Why are there ‘rivers of blood’ at Eid? {bbc.co.uk sep2016}
As Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha, people in Dhaka have been sharing pictures showing streets flooded with blood-stained water. Nearly 100,000 livestock were sacrificed in Dhaka this year, according to BBC Bengali, mainly on the streets or at underground car parks in residential buildings. Goats and cows are bought from markets by Muslim families and slaughtered, to thank Allah for sparing Ishmael, after an imam has read verses from the Koran.
Question, when you buy Halal food, or any religious authorised food, have you submitted to the religion – have you agreed that it is right and righteous?
“As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”
– Virgil’s Aeneid
… sorry for the photo, but this is how Halal is carried out in the traditional way …
People slaughter sacrificial camel at Nazimabad area during the third day of Eid ul azha in Karachi. (09-11-2011)
Religious slaughter of animals in the EU – Nov2012 (pdf link) – “The Regulation (EU) allows the existing slaughter methods with no stunning for religious reasons (special privilege, more privileges to come) to continue “
MM that has truly sickened me to the stomach, look at the animals face, the scream, i cannot begin to describe the hate building in me towards these people, they are disgusting barbaric pigs.
Hate crime warning. Please stop hating … it is a crime.
… no need for it. If they want to do incantations then by all means do them at home into the fridge, but if we are paying for a reading from a religious book and the holy cleric then no thank you.
I do realise that this picture makes a major impact-more than words-but please please please do consider removing it, it is so upsetting and sickening. Utter savages.
Longtom – I don’t mind it being removed or better still if someone could pixelate the bloodshed.
But in all honesty the idea that all traditions are equal (this was 2011 and still goes on) and should not be under scrutiny is the worst ‘hate crime’ ever – we are told/programmed not to hate or ridicule!
No i do not agree, their barbarity needs to reach as wider an audience as possible, the bbc celebrating the rivers of blood will have the opposite effect, but they are so sure their ”conditioning” of us to it being perfectly normal will let it be celebrated on English streets they are blind to the simmering fury they are creating, it is a subtle ratcheting up of the molevolant intimidation.
Or it’s a speeding up of the civilisational conflict and breakdown the marxists so desire.
The re-boot of humanity, the rise of the PHD-ed ”social” scienced moron.
Dear Marky Mark
I agree with your intention to bring this to a wider audience. My query is with the venue; I come to this site for the wit and comment regarding the bBBC. I wasn’t expecting a graphic image of a suffering being, I had youngsters in the room as I scrolled down and there were hysterics. Perhaps a warning of some sort would be in order if we should now be expecting this kind of image.
You have every right to your opinion of course. The solution is with me really-I shall not return to this site.
Longtom – my apologies, I do tend to stay in textual version where possible – next time I will add the link with notice of the graphic content.
My emotions and anger got the better of me in this case. Sorry if it has taken you away from the site – not my intention at all.
“… sorry for the photo, but this is how Halal is carried out in the traditional way …”
In all honesty this is a mild version of the reality that is happening, a soft presentation of the hard facts but showing how children are seeing this – every year as part of joyful celebrations?
In the future I will link to the image with a disclaimer and as I said, I will leave it with the editors to change or remove the image with a link , which would be a better option.
And my sincere apologies for frightening your children.
MM – I feel something strange about the ‘reaction’ of Longtom about the picture you posted.
Firstly it is the first time he has chosen to post anything on this site.
Next apparently his young children were not only in the room with him but must have been watching what he was doing on his computer at the same time.
Considering that most posts here just contain the written word is it likely that children would be absorbed watching their father reading on the net?
What age are his children? Most would have to be in school during term time. If they are that young that they are not even in school they are less likely to be watching their father read to himself.
Rather smells a bit to me. I certainly don’t need to see images to know how horrific a particular scene must be, but I can say that watching a TV documentary about how animals are slaughtered in the UK in the early 80’s turned me instantly to be a vegetarian ever since then. I simply didn’t want to contribute further to it.
I don’t think you have anything to apologise for, and you did give a warning.
Cuddly Teddy Bear – I took Longtom’s word that they were telling the truth and I think the initial post that I added with the rivers running red was sufficient.
Normally I do link to images due to knowing that people read the posts at work, so I agree with the stance.
But it did make me go back and do some more digging on Halal – and found this little nugget … “Halal Food Authority – MUSLIMS NEED ONLY APPLY – JOBS FOR THE RELIGIOUS ONLY – if this is true then it’s religious discrimination/privilege at the slaughter work place? {biasedbbc link}“
MM – Like I said, I don’t think you had to apologise for anything. It is clear that part of the work we do here is show those things that the BBC prefer to ignore, avoid, or deceive, in an effort to counter it. Often this brings out rage and deep emotion, sometimes humour, sometimes sarcasm, etc.
Anyone who can’t understand that, like Haley yesterday, or Longtom today shouldn’t be here.
Your response to Longtom has been far more cuddly than me 😉
Of course, having read about possible outrage, I have rushed here to see how much I am.
Not sure the BBC’s pages are often too much different, and a dubiously placed pixel seldom quells the imagination. Even if warranted.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40338820
Sharing BBBC with the wee ones is of course an interesting way to propel them into detention in Year 1. I hope they are not at one of those trendy schools where they have ‘kill what you eat’ outings.
Tend to agree that the second exit stage left in so many days from a ‘this is not what I came here for’ poster of few posts is too much to get concerned about.
Especially as they are sorely missed already. Again. Apparently.
Guest – you could have warned us that the linked picture was that of Dianne Abbott
Teddy,
Quite agree. Any links to the Rabbit should have a health warning .
Yeah people take things to far, i mean you would be done for child abuse if you used a picture of her to keep the kids away from the fireplace.
Apologies. But you had to peek.
I have to calm down
(by the way Manx, I don’t know if you saw it but I answered your question here)
Almost had a Diane-Abbott-Free Day … Diane Abbott: ‘I’m back to fighting fitness’ {bbc.co.uk jun2017}
“Diane Abbott says it took her brother to tell her off before she realised she needed to address her diabetes (Ex Public health minister for 3 years.). … She said resigning because of her ill health was ‘never a consideration’ (Even if it put the Country at risk?). ‘Everyone who has type 2 diabetes knows it is a perfectly manageable condition,’ she added.”
Diane Abbott who was Ex-Shadow Minister for Public Health for 3 Years (9 October 2010 – 8 October 2013)
Gosh, lucky the country wasn’t being attacked or anything like that. Wonder why BBC doesn’t mention another powerful women who has diabetes type 1 (more serious) and is Prime Minister of a Country with 65 million people in it? {bbc.co.uk jul2013}.
All women are equal, some more so, some not worth mentioning …
Long ,
Wait til they find the remains of a goat in the burnt tower block . I have seen these people keep a goat in the council tower block with my own eyes. Incredible .
I don’t think you’re see a feature on halal slaughtering fronted by John Lefty Craven on al beeb Country File eh?
Thanks Ted.
?
it is horrendous but I think people need to realise how bad this is. Like sacrificing a goat next to an aircraft in Pakistan, for good luck. I hope I never have to go to that country.
I never will.
Full stop.
Animals! And I don’t mean the animals.
Strangely nothing on Al Beebistan about this quaint ethnic practice, just docs on how muslims invented everything, ever.
Kids there too. Good training for slaughtering infidels, Jews and gays later in life.
No PETA, no RSPCA , no Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth types either I notice. No hunt sabs and no EU, no Greens either.
Anyone would think that they were shit scared of islam-but we`ve all seen how they treat lab workers or hunters, hounded old people for their life savings-so it can`t be that.
What a repulsive ‘religion’, and what a repulsive vision of the Deity who relishes such torture.
I know, let’s let more of them in, that’s what we need.
This is useful practice, too, for Borough Market type activities. Don’t you just feel the enrichment?
By , Muslims, are disgusting.
Is this the sick mentality of these “people” our politicians are inviting into our country.
Where are all the lefty libtard do gooders looking out for animal rights, women’s rights instead of embracing this disgusting “culture”
Totally agree. We should never allowed such barbaric practises in our country, nor allowed halal meat to be imported. You are spot on about the Adherents of this foul religion taking the country back to the Middle Ages. Yet the BBC , RSPCA, and the rest of the establishment of the country are letting it happen and in some cases actively encouraging Islamification. No chance of a referendum on whether we want any more of this lot in our country. Perhaps a boycott of any stores that sell this meat would wake people up.
Diners ‘unknowingly eating Halal’ at Wembley {bbc.co.uk sep2010}
“Sporting venues across London routinely serve Halal meat to customers without informing them, it has emerged. … Many Muslims only eat Halal meat, which is from animals whose throats have been cut to drain them of blood while they are still alive and conscious.”
What is halal meat? {bbc.co.uk may2014}
“The Islamic form of slaughtering animals or poultry, dhabiha, involves killing through a cut to the jugular vein, carotid artery and windpipe. … Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, know as tasmiya or shahada.”
– BBC 2010 report omits incantation to Allah
– BBC 2014 uses words ‘blood is drained from the carcass‘ rather than 2010 – ‘still alive and conscious‘ (some improvement as introducing stunning?)
– BBC 2014 Stunning cannot be used to kill an animal, according to the ‘Halal Food Authority’ ( ‘Morality Police’? Plus they still want it alive and conscious?)?
Hold on here … go to the ‘Halal Food Authority – Definitions Of Halal‘ …..
… a Muslim will recite tasmiya orshahada … (not allowed by a non-Muslim)
1. An animal should not be dead prior to slaughter
2. A Muslim should perform slaughter (for Halal – MUSLIMS NEED ONLY APPLY!)
3. Any flowing blood of the carcass should be completely drained
4. Choice of modern and in vogue method has to be considered with caution and, it should be in line with Islamic principles
For Halal – MUSLIMS NEED ONLY APPLY – if this is true then it’s religious discrimination/privilege at the slaughter work place?
Does this mean that Warburtons and anyone on their approved list are implicit in positive discrimination? Interesting to find out.
Charlie Martel,
“I beg any animal lovers to avoid ANY halal meat. All meat involves a degree of cruelty to animals. but halal especially so.”
How strange…
80% of Halal meat produced in this country comes from pre-stunned animals.
0% of Kosher meat produced in this country (or anywhere else) comes from pre-stunned animals.
Yet all the ‘animal lovers’ here are obsessed by the ‘cruelty’ of Halal whilst tucking into their industrial meat slurry sandwiches.
| eat meat because I don’t care. Neither does anyone else who stuffs themselves with a fat, greasy, pork sausage.
Pretending you’re somehow morally superior, because the animal you chose to torture for all-of-its-short-miserable-stall-bread-shit-stained-life had a slightly less excruciating last twenty seconds before being fed through the mincer, is the hight of hypocrisy.
If you care about animals; don’t eat meat. Simple as.
Everything else about “how it’s killed” doesn’t add up to much for a chicken getting it’s throat cut.
You have never caught prepared and eaten your own lunch/dinner in your whole miserable beta existence.
If the shelves ever emptied you would starve.
“all-of-its-short-miserable-stall-bread-shit-stained-life ”
…”stall bread”…stale bread I’ve seen..but “stall bread”.. never.
Charlie, I already refuse to eat such stuff. In a motorway station near to me there is a pop-up Chinese takeaway – I think its called Chopstix, with a sign saying their meat is Halal. This meant that all the chicken was Halal, and seeing as how most Chinese meals are made up of chicken, I walked away. Lost business for them, but I don’t suppose for one minute that they’re bothered. How dare these food outlets dictate what I eat !
Brissles –
The postman (sorry to be gender specific, but he/she/it appears to be a bloke) has just been and has delivered a new Tesco Clubcard. The leaflet enclosed in the envelope shows two cashiers, one male and one female – the male one is a black man sporting an Islamic-style beard and the female one is wearing a Hijab.
The BBC would be so proud.
Just off to Morrisons …….
Halal Tesco eh? Avoid!
Lobster ,
This is commonplace now in most leaflets and information packs .It used to be confined to council and government info but is spreading like a PC rash.When I get the council Pravda ,my council still produces it against government rules ,its full of diversity .The only thing missing is someone who looks like me.
TV adverts are crammed with non whites now ,not too many hijabs as yet but time will tell.
I’ve just received a brochure from Sainsburys. It has my name and address on it, but if I didn’t know better I would say it had been prepared for the West Indian or Nigerian markets.
Also take a look at Tesco’s ‘Food Love Stories’ promotion that they have been running in their stores. Lots of smiling pictures of ethnics. What appears to be a ‘same sex’ couple’. Everything on display except a standard, white, British heterosexual couple.
Lobs, that’s worrying.
On every receipt you get at Twongos, there’s a chance to say what you want. If that’s the case then for 25 ‘points’ they can get the lot from me about halalalala trashy stuff. It only takes a few minutes, far less than complaining to the bbbc or other crap orgs!
Brissles, You asked “How dare these food outlets dictate what I eat !”. They don’t. They offer a product. If you want it then it is your choice, if you don’t similarly. I never patronise vegetarian restaurants as I know that I like meat in my meals. That is my choice and if everyone had my tastes they would be out of business but it is still a free country.
The time to complain is when (as the BBC obviously hope and pray) it is suggested that halal is the only meat available. Or maybe before it becomes compulsory.
… but can we have horrible photos on the EU/Halal packaging like cigarette packets to show what you are buying into and supporting? Just replace the word “Halal” with images of slaughtered animals lying on the street in Majority Muslim countries …
Shocked woman claims “terrible” warning photo plastered on cigarette packets around world is her dead DAD {mirror apr2017}
Today (Eid-ul-Adha – 04 October 2014) Muslims all over the world who can afford it , sacrifice a sheep (sometimes a goat) as a reminder of Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah. In Britain, the animal has to be killed at a slaughterhouse. {bbc.co.uk }
.. “reminder of Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah” in other words (my own), “…be careful or else your son or you could be next on the chopping block, a threat made real by slaughtering animals in the modern day when there is no need for it.”.
More plagiarism by Mohammed, or whoever wrote the stories in the Koran. The story which Eid celebrates is nothing more than a carbon copy of the Abraham and his son Isaac Old Testament tale. They just changed the names to make it more palatable for Muslim Jew haters.
The problem is that usually people don’t have a choice, as per my posting above. Yes, people can explicitly choose to avoid outlets that advertise themselves as halal, should they so wish, but most restaurants and cafés that use catering suppliers for their ingredients will be serving halal meat, even if they are not aware of it.
Time for the EU suggestions department (enforcement) – if anything greater than 0% of ingredients is Halal in a restaurant then you must have this poster outside your shop – showing Muslim families slitting the throats of a defenceless animal in front of children with smiles and clapping and happiness.
A great way for EU to make money and enforce fines. Poster is size A1, generate your own version with the Rasterbator.net site (I am not affiliated with this site).
Maybe the only way is to un-Halal the food to be sure? Not sure how you would do that … bless it with a different god?
Ian,
Good point but if people even started asking if the meat was Halal before ordering and refusing if it was , it would raise the profile of the issue.
charmbrights,
“It is still a free country “. That is debatable. Maybe, but it is becoming less free every day.
Charmy, …… Yes I agree I do have a choice, and perhaps I worded my comments wrong. I meant that wanting to buy a Chinese meal and Halal only is displayed, they were the ones dictating my choice, because there was no choice – it was either Halal or leave it. So I did.
Disagree charmbrights. The time to complain is NOW, before there is no other option. We are allowing our food to be prepared according to procedures that are clearly in infringement of our own laws on humane animal slaughter, and then are being fed it, unknown to us. The point is that we are not being informed. As someone pointed out, there is allsorts of labelling, except about slaughter of meat products. And yes, Brissles did take her custom elsewhere, as I would. But pretty soon, you will have to be veggie in major cities.
Sorry for the off topic, but it is one of the BBCs pet subjects – bigging up Islam.
Charms, Brissles may have just fancied a Chinese, so why does she have to be told it’s halal stuff and be told it’s the way of a Chinese meal? She may not like it like that.
I wouldn’t have a clue what they’re talking about if I saw a notice such as that, but then I don’t like sodium glutamate either, and as Mrs Scroblene knows a damn sight more than most English cooks about far eastern nosh, then it’s not a problem for me!
You’re right about the BBC wandering about trying new food progs. Can’t think why, most idiots who watch trashy foody progs get their fast-stuff from KFC or McDonalds anyway.
If there`s no pork on the menu-we leave.
Not that we even order it, just sick of Islam creeping in and under the kitchen door.
This also works if we see a Guardian for reading in the coffee shop or pub.
Mail and Telegraph, Times if Melanie or similar are in it.
About time WE started targetting the lefties and the muslims…works both ways.
One of the good things about the USA. There is bacon and sausage everywhere…but for how long!
Loobs, just go to a Shoneys and savour the crispy bacon, then you’ll feel much happier!
I’d struggle on a 54 oz steak though – that would last me 27 meals nowadays, but then I am seventy on Wednesday, so will have to be excused!
Scroblene –
Happy birthday for Wednesday!
I hope you don’t get one of Nadia’s lop-sided cakes (Halal, natch ….)!
Thanks, Lobster!
I certainly will not ask, as my local village pub would probably think that Nadia had a load of ‘Chronicles’ named after him, and they’d just wander off to make my ham sandwich as usual…
Might go for a BLT this time, as they’re very good!
Re The Gender pay gap at BEEB .
Sorry to be a downer but they will not be embarrassed or ashamed because they never are .The astronomical pay offs they gave staff were dissected all over the news and select committee some years back and they just shuffled the deck chairs around .
They believe they are safe on the tax payers teat for years to come and will carry on regardless.The only thing to stop them is a true consumer revolution.i have stopped watching but most people are a bit sheeplike and shrug and say Oh but I like Strictly …..
They don’t care if you don’t watch/listen. It doesn’t affect the money they get, unlike a commercial channel where advertisers won’t pay for non viewers.
charmbrights,
Quite right. The BBC can keep on churning out the endless crap in the knowledge that it does not matter.
Trouble is, Grant that they’re doing much the same as our elected ‘government’ now.
Protected by law, unaccountable until the next election, and quite frankly not up to scratch.
Luckily, I read so many more books these days; just finished ‘The Chequer board’ by Nevil Shute, and that would DEFINITELY have never reached Langham Plaza in a programme of any sort nowadays.
Scrobbie,
So true !
Joined up thinking?!?
UK plans age verification for porn websites from 2018
An NSPCC report in 2016 said online pornography could damage a child’s development and decision-making and had been seen by 65% of 15-16 year olds and 48% of 11-16 year olds.
Then the BBC link to a similar article from March…
‘Why compulsory sex education is important to faith schools and LGBTQ pupils’
The ruling is “really important” as it will equip young people with essential information on sex and relationships, Laura Hannah, the education and training manager for leading UK sexual health charity Brook, says.
I guess what is going on here is restricting children from discovering sex online and instead making it compulsory for sex to be taught by a Leftie teacher who will force their own view of what is normal for sex and relationships. ie. gay and trans relationships.
Taking this further I can see heterosexual online porn being heavily restricted in the future but gay porn available to everyone including the cbeebies website as that is “not porn but a show of love”.
People to be forced to hand over credit card details before being able to see porn
What could go wrong ?
..a million things I guess
Also
#1 The porn corps will love it, thy’ll be looking for ways to accidentally charge peoples cards
#2 Where’s the local pilot study ?
..You should never roll out such changes over a whole country without doing proper pilot studies
There’s lots of gay sex in mainstream porn, isn’t there….but it’s usually between the ladies (or so I’ve heard…)
The low white birthrate certainly won’t be helped by all this gender questioning ! Meanwhile our Muslim brothers have no interest in ‘gender identity ‘ issues, don’t have to comply with this obsession like the rest of us, and carry on outbreeding us by being hideously heterosexual. Their takeover looms ever nearer. Not a happy outcome for LGBT obsessives or anyone who doesn’t want to submit to Allah.The nation continues busily constructing its own funeral pyre.
EE,
Quite agree. I see no evidence that the non-muslims are doing anything to stop the rot. In fact the Establishment “elite” are aiding and abetting the muslim takeover. Quite amazing.
Grant, Douglas Murray’s latest book is a must-read on how the political establishment across western Europe has led on this Muslim takeover and indeed punished anyone who has complained publicly.
The nation’s elite are busily heaping up OUR funeral pyre, which they are under the misapprehension won’t include them.
Choosing the right words, for the right story …
‘Trump is deporting our (illegal for 21 years) parents’ {bbc.co.uk jul2017}
The four Duarte children were getting ready for school when their parents were arrested and taken into custody by US Border Control. The eldest, 19-year-old Francisco Junior, was left in charge of his 12-year-old twin sisters and teenage brother. The children – American citizens – never thought it would come to this.
* Why is it missing illegal for 21 years in the title and text? @0:30 in the video.
* You could change the title to ‘Trump is enacting the law of the USA’
* How come the children aren’t asked “If a person breaks the law of a country, should they pay consequences?”
– “If an American had illegally stayed in Mexico for 21 years, should the government remove them?”
* “What did the parents do to try and gain legal status in the USA? What could they have done? Does the USA have a process?”
His father “sold ice cream”?
I bet he offered more than just bubble gum in his screwballs!
He can’t be a pedophile, he’s a priest for God’s sake!
He can’t be a drug seller, he sells ice creams for the children’s sake!
He can’t be against British values, he was born in the Britain for Britain’s sake!
The Australian Catholic Church has released “grim” data revealing 7 per cent of priests, working between 1950 and 2009, have been accused of child sex crimes.{abc.net.au feb2017}
“The worst-offending institutions, by proportion of their religious staff, have been shown to be the orders of brothers, who often run schools and homes for the most vulnerable of children.
…More than 1,800 people accused of sexual abuse in Catholic Church.”
Naaah, he was a London bus driver!
(Sorry, wrong post).
The word illegal is in the video at 0:30s but I agree the title would be better if it read
“Trump is deporting our illegal parents”
or
“Trump is twice as effective as Obama is fighting illegal immigrants”
or a impartial title could be
“US Border Patrol are deporting our parents”
I’m amazed the BBC didn’t get the eldest son to say he was gay or transgender to really play the game well. No mention whether the illegal immigrant parents paid any taxes. I doubt they did as they wouldn’t want the authorities to know about them.
Was the illegal parents ice cream van uninsured? So if the van was involved in an accident or ran some children over (risk is high as children run after ice cream vans) there wouldn’t be insurance to pay for medical bills?
I think what the press is missing here is that these very stories are reasons for illegals to think twice – it will impact on your children’s lives, this in itself (laws actually being implemented) is a Wall!
“Stop our beloved Mexican people leaving our own Country, Mexico! Let’s Build our own Wall!”
@MarkyMark That Web piece is the warmup act for tonight’s Panorama
Just like BBC’s Global Warming operation was retitled “Stop Climate Change”
BBC’s stop “Trump Getting Elected” operation was changed to “Try to push Trump into Impeachment”
Has the BBC EVER done a piece or programme on somebody who was rightfully deported, benefits stopped or otherwise banged to rights.
You know?
Just to show the taxpayers that the state CAN take action on abuses, DOES care about the money it extracts from us all? Course not.
Showing the state as a free ride, a patsy or useless is all part of the lefts intention.
Occupy good-Tea Party bad.
A mission to explain.
Alicia, once ‘The State’ gets involved, we kiss goodbye to reasoned argument and action.
Salaries in hangers-on at government level are at an all time high, and MPs will just fiddle around and write letters.
Meanwhile, my self-saved pension pays for another few ugly, fat, feckless wasters to breed indiscriminately, buy loads of fags and a dozen cans of Tenants at a whim.
their first 100 days abuse vehicle will run the first 4yrs probably 8yrs if they cannot incite some wingnut to kill him to save the world, especially saving the planet from climate change and the planet destroyer……
Obama says the border fence is ‘now basically complete’ {politifact.com may2011 – Barely True Rating}
I do hope BBC Panorama ‘Trumps Fortress America’ will look at the history promised before Donald Trump ….
“In his speech in El Paso on immigration reform on May 10, 2011, President Obama declared that the fence along the border with Mexico is ‘now basically complete.’ (basically complete as opposed to complete?)…
Still, he predicted that many Republican opponents won’t be satisfied. …
‘They’ll want want a higher fence,’ Obama said. ‘Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied. And I understand that. That’s politics.’
‘Five years ago, legislation was passed to build a 700-mile double-layer border fence along the southwest border,’ DeMint wrote. ‘This is a promise that has not been kept. Today, according to staff at the Department of Homeland Security, just 5 percent of the double-layer fencing is complete, only 36.3 miles.(625 promised)'”
Check out the article to see the poles classed as a border – where people or motorbikes can get through. A quick review of other countries with borders wouldn’t go amiss on the show:
* Saudis build 1,000-mile Yemen border fence {bbc apr2013}
* The migrant trail through Mexico {bbc.co.uk jul2007}
We should accept them all! But what are the unintended consequences …
“With professional classes on the move (illegally going to the USA, words before undocumented came into being), Honduras is being drained of the very people it needs to help it out of its poverty.“
The parents have been in the US illegally for 21 years. They could have, at any time during that period, applied for legal residency and work permits that would have allowed them to stay. If the parents have been working in the black economy then they will not have paid taxes, yet they’ve obviously availed themselves of the local medical facilities when their children were born. Have the children also been educated at school during their parents illegal residency? So the BBC give us a one sided report sympathetic to the plight of the children being parted from their parents without considering the actions – or inaction – to address their immigration status. Typically slanted BBC “news”.
Question: When the Saudi’s financed and spread the word of islam in Africa mere decades ago, did they anticipate that it would spawn so many violent terrorist groups acting in the name of islam?

http://www.newsweek.com/uk-report-terror-saudi-arabia-public-finding-618508
As we know from history, wherever islam goes, war and murder and mayhem is not far behind even if it is only ‘squabbles’ amongst their own sort, viz. sunni/shia.
I suggest that there will be, sooner or later, a ‘push-back’ from the British Public and, hey presto! we will have murder and mayhem on our streets – the worst sort of fighting: almost impossible for the State to deal with. First, all the street cameras will be blanket targeted, then highly organised raids on armouries and stores selling weapons……………….
G,
Da’wah
The declaration of Abdallah, King of Saudi Arabia, in August 2008:
“We do not need democracy; we do not need political parties; we do not need Western human rights, and we do not need their freedom of speech. What we need is the Qur’an. It regulates our life perfectly. It is the best legislation in the history of mankind; it is the word of Allah. There is nothing better than Allah’s law. Only Islam must be dominant.”

well lookie here, it seems the police are capable of arresting returning fighters after all
but why not all of them ???
“but why not all of them ???”
I guess that depends upon for which side you were fighting.
BBC anti-Brexit, anti-May campaign
In order to get a non-biased view of Brexit negotiations, I have to go to overseas broadcasters like Bloomberg, who today are very optimistic for Britain’s future after 2021, by which time both Brexit and the assumed transition period will be done with.
The BBC has never given a balanced view of Brexit, has always pushed the Remain and Pretend-brexit camps, and have edited their clips to denigrate May and extol Corbyn. Now they are running a glamour campaign on Amber Rudd, puffing up her successes, and using their clip of week, Amber walking into No.10. Is she the BBC’s choice for next Tory leader? she’s not the Tories’.
Neither was David Cameron, originally. Until the BBC gave him a glowing report.
Well Cameron was pro-EU, whereas David Davis wasn’t so it was a no brainer for Al beebus who they’d be shilling for and look how bad a PM he turned out to be.
With a bit of luck if the apparent Cabinet in fighting continues with the clock ticking so fast there will be little agreement by the time article 50 runs out and we really do go our own way .
There may be pain on both sides – particularly since we import more stuff from them than export to them .
We might even be able to depopulate Blighty a bit with people booking a single ticket out .
Just hope HMG has lined up trade deals with our real friends
Don’t worry, Fed.
There are lots of serious buyers waiting in the wings for when the EU crap crowd is kicked screaming into touch, and they’ll be knocking on our doors as soon as they can – actually they started a year ago to be honest!
Hang in there my friend, all will be well, and forget the bbbc stuff, they’re being excluded from real discussions! Well, wouldn’t you keep them out of it? If you had a deal in the offing, and if the bbbc got hold of it, it might well go pear-shaped?
Grenfell House Enquiry
I see that Corbyn wants the Grenfell House Enquiry panel to be reconfigured to include representatives from ‘minority’ populations: recent immigrants and amnestied illegal immigrants, I assume he means.
Surely what we need is an informed, far-ranging, impartial, and expert enquiry, not an ill-informed, narrow, politically imbalanced, and amateur enquiry.
That depends whether your aim is to find out what really happened or to pander to your own voting base and ensure they are not blamed for any of their failings. Couldn’t possibly guess which of those is Corbyn’s aim.
Was always bound to turn into a witch hunt – once you give them victim plus status anything can happen
Typical bloody useless Tories under their newly bought red flag! The BBC announce ridiculous sky high salaries – £350 K for Kuenssberg (£1000 per day! and more than her boss James Harding £340K) and the only thing the useless Nu Labour Tories can come up with is a so called gender paygap where there aren’t enough women included!
Never mind the fact that the DG Lard Hall Hall is receiving over £500K pa ! Never mind the screamingly obvious gravy train running at public expense, the only thing they’re concerned about is their aren’t enough female piggies getting their snouts in the trough.
There really is an opening for UKIP to present themselves as the Tory party now the original inhabitants have abandoned it !
Do the BBC consider THEMSELVES to be public sector workers?
If so, what is the average pay of a public sector worker if we include the BBC payroll in the calculation. As opposed to if we don`t.
I`d say that if we sloughed off the BBC and made them private-then we could find that 350 million pounds per day that Brexit offered to fund Laura Kuennsberg on that bus of ours.
(Thanks to Dianne Abbott for these figures)
Oh come come, Thoughtful! Market rate Lord Hall-Hall is cheap at the price!
DG Mark Thompson (the one before the useless Entwhistle of Savile fame) got over £700,000 and Mark Byford (no, me neither) got nearly £950,000 and he wasn’t even a DG!
Now that Dr Who is to be a woman isn’t it time that Director General Hall was replaced with a woman?
The Tory Party have led by example – two female Prime Ministers.
Over to you Al Beeb…………………
Interestinglyt when you raise a BBC complaint online and fill out the boxes the options for ‘What is the best category to describe your complaint?’ are (in this order)…
bias
factual error or inaccuracy
offence
poor quality
scheduling
standards of interviewing/presenting
too much coverage
too little coverage
other
Seems strange that an impartial broadcaster would choose to put ‘bias’ on the list and even more strange they put it at the top of the list.
It’s to speed up the process.
You will never guess what said process is.

Just as predicted, and now most of the media are peddling fake news that this was in fact a Mosque, when it was an Islamic Centre.
Already we have the Fascists out blaming whitey as usual:
Local Labour councillor John Flanagan said: “It is early days but if this was an attack the mosque it is a hate crime.”
It is far more likely that this was a self inflicted attack on a building which was pretty run down, for the sympathy of the Fascists and for a new building to be provided.
Especially probable given it was a Nigerian centre, and it’s not the first time Muslim property has been destroyed by themselves in order to secure something better! The claims made by the attendees are simply not credible.
A spokesman for the centre said there was no one inside at the time, and that they received a call in the night to say ‘it was being attacked’.
So ‘someone’ instead of phoning the Police or Fire, phones another person and tells them not that the centre is on fire, but that it is ‘under attack’ (who says that?) The alleged break in happened around the rear of the building which cannot be seen, so how would anyone know that someone was trying to ‘attack it’ .
Then there was this ridiculous claim :
Monsurat Adebanjo-Aremu, secretary, says this is the third such major fire incident in a year.
She says people have also urinated outside and two pigs’ heads have been thrown into the mosque during worship.
Note that she has now changed this ridiculous story and claims that there was one fire three years ago. If someone had ever run into Friday prayers and thrown a pigs head into the assembly it would have been national news, and the Political Correctness Enforcement Squad would have thrown every man into finding those responsible – for it to happen twice is stretching credulity past breaking point and where would you get a pigs head from anyway?
No reports of the people attending the place being hassled by anyone does not seem to add up to hostility from the local community either.
No doubt with the Fascists and the media so ready to believe every claim of waycism and Islamofauxbia the possibilty that these so called ‘attacks’ are in reality self inflicted for insurance and sympathy.
Whilst some religious buildings are burning in the UK, some cannot be built abroad … Indonesia police fire tear gas on Muslims protesting construction of (Catholic,Bekasi) church {hindustantimes.com mar2017}

Thoughtful,
“Just as predicted, and now most of the media are peddling fake news that this was in fact a Mosque, when it was an Islamic Centre”
Islamic Centres tend to be used like a Church / Church Hall; as a place of worship at certain times and for community activities at others. So it’s entirely correct to describe it as a Mosque.
“Already we have the Fascists out blaming whitey as usual:
Local Labour councillor John Flanagan said…’It is early days but if this was an attack the mosque it is a hate crime.’”
Erm, no mention of “White People” or ethnicity there. You wouldn’t be ‘projecting’ would you ‘Thoughtful’?
“It is far more likely that this was a self inflicted attack… Especially probable given it was a Nigerian centre, and it’s not the first time Muslim property has been destroyed by themselves…”
Ah yes, you would.
“Especially probable given it was a Nigerian centre”
And you’re the same person who claims “There’s no such thing as racism”.
“A spokesman for the centre said there was no one inside at the time, and that they received a call in the night to say ‘it was being attacked’.
So ‘someone’ instead of phoning the Police or Fire, phones another person and tells them not that the centre is on fire, but that it is ‘under attack’”
Where does it say someone phoned him instead of phoning the Police or Fire?
What was that about “peddling fake news”?
“(who says that?)”
Well you just did for a start: “It is far more likely that this was a self inflicted attack”
“The alleged break in happened around the rear of the building which cannot be seen, so how would anyone know that someone was trying to ‘attack it’”
The Mosque is surrounded by houses. The rear of the building is in full view of several houses opposite.
You really haven’t got a clue have you?
“No reports of the people attending the place being hassled by anyone does not seem to add up to hostility from the local community either… No doubt with the Fascists and the media so ready to believe every claim of waycism and Islamofauxbia….”
So to summarise:-
If an anti-Muslim attack on a Mosque isn’t reported by the media – IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
If an anti-Muslim attack on a Mosque is reported by the media – IT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
Hello maxincony
Still no offer of any Al Beeb bias from you?
You continue to defend Al Beeb, what’s your motivation?
You do more harm to Al Beeb by posting here.
You should set up your own “I love Al Beeb site “
WatO Monday. I come home to hear Lord Heseltine complaining about leaks and traitors within Cabinet and blaming it all on Brexiteers. He wants Brexit scrapped and an immigration limit imposed, or so he hinted. No intelligent questioning from Ed Stourton. So a Remain campaigner is a traitor outside Cabinet as well as – in his day – from within?
Now, there’s a thing.
He’s given free airtime and an easy ride by the BBC.
Well, there’s another thing.
Keep this up BBC, Lord Heseltine and your ilk and you can look forward to 2018 or 2019 with around 45 million + voting age adults in the UK all screaming about the EU – “Get us out!” “Get us out, now!”
Why should anyone listen to a has-been silly old fool like Heseltine who was a total failure as a Minister ?
The BBC introduced this great statesman as “the former deputy prime minister”.
This in the Don Revie era really-when ANYBODY got a title under majors inept government.
Imagine Heseltine has an emergency button direct to the BBC, whereas most other failures in lifes departure lounge have a nurse.
How come he`s not been done yet for strangling a dog? Where are the hunt sab/PETA nasties when you need them?
And a coward when he withdreww his nomination to take over from Mrs Thatcher.
Wimp.
Blair yesterday; Heseltine today; Major tomorrow? BBC no longer bothering to be subtle about their systematic anti-Brexit propaganda.
Got to love how the bBC reports on the story of how quite a few Students voted twice at the GE:
Elections watchdog wants double voting rules tightened
Reports of people voting more than once in June’s election are “troubling” but there is little evidence of widespread abuse, the elections watchdog has said. The Electoral Commission said 38 MPs had highlighted people, including students, claiming to have voted twice, which is a criminal offence. It said individual electoral registers run by councils should be better joined up to help identify duplicate entries.
So the above is how the bBC reports on how Students have been reported for voting twice. However as this is the bBC they follow that up with this:
“Labour warned against making it harder for young people to register to vote.
Well it can’t have been that hard, with so many voting twice can it?
The bBC, the mouth piece (And arsehole) for the Labour Party.
Is the Minister aware that there is now clear evidence that many students boasted (How many? Evidence exists! Now! Police too busy searching for online ‘bacon jokes’?) on social media of voting twice – once at university, and once by post at home? Surely this is straightforward electoral fraud. {theyworkforyou.com 05jul2017}
– Henry Bellingham Conservative, North West Norfolk
If anyone has any evidence of people voting twice, they should report it to their local returning officer and the police, who must take this issue seriously.
– Chris Skidmore Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Cabinet Office)
Woah! Does that mean that Henry Bellingham MP is not upholding the law – by not submitting his ‘clear evidence’ to the Police as request by Chris Skidmore MP
Labour’s shadow minister for voter engagement, Cat Smith, said voting twice was a serious offence and police needed to have the resources (Austerity? Terrorism? Too busy watching 23,000 terrorists on watch lists?) to prosecute people suspected of doing so. {bbc.co.uk jul2017}
In summary …
– evidence exits of electoral fraud in the UK!
– nothing done about it! Ignore the law!
– let’s worry about the people who didn’t vote!
Rather like Trump wishing to look into how Hillary got some many votes?
He accused the Democrats of fiddling-the media scoffed-and then when he brought it up again, they go off into a rage. Hope he`ll be back to this one-what happened to his campaign pledge to put her on trial then?
Let alone leaks of his sons private emails, how the BBC got pictures of the Ariana Grande carnage illegally and how the Russian lawyer got let into the USA under the weirdest reasons? Come on Donald-dig deep and uproot those who are digging the dirt on you.
If BBCNN aren`t howling, you`re failing Donald lad.
Alicia, there is an enquiry ongoing into the scale of voter fraud in the last presidential election, headed by the (excellent) current governor of Kansas; expect it to be massive and to receive little or no coverage by al Beebus.
Times : Rochdale Prosecutor lays into Police (Nazir Afzal)
\\Criminals are going free because “lazy” and “deskilled” police do not understand the law, a former senior prosecutor has claimed.
.. even basic inquiries are beset with problems because police are “not investigating properly” and are “charging cases prematurely”.
* Senior officers are prone to political pressure * and police are “more detached” from their communities than ever before, he believes.
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, he said levels of experience had fallen so far that retired officers had had to be brought back every time there was a major investigation.
“What could be happening, isn’t happening,” he said. “People are not addressing themselves to what’s required in…
they don’t understand the rules of disclosure (so fail to hand over info ..so defence gets cases thrown out)
They get over focussed on one suspect and fail to follow up alternative lines
Lazy as the go for the easuest option (not that they don’t put the hours in)
(CPS wastes time fixing up cases they got wrong due to police rushing investigations in the first place//
It’s from a speech he prepared for APCC, but he left cos they tried to prevent him speaking publicly on Question Time
Meanwhile the public immediately jump on a Robbery Thug, he dies 2 days later
and the BBC reports it as :”Tributes to Ashby robbery suspect”
(he was carrying a golf club and his mate tried to run people over)
Obviously the RACIST public would have just let him go, had he been white.
“Fell ill during an arrest” eh?
Tell us more BBC if you dare.
What the bBC don’t mention about Saint (Black lives Matter) Bryant. he was part of a team which was robbing the Co-Op. He was armed with a baseball bat and his mate with a Golf club. After Saint Bryant was apprehended by customers , his mate drove his car into the crowd in which to try and free Saint (Black lives matter) Bryant.
The Police on arriving 30 mins later , arrested the young lad who did their fucking job for them.
No doubt the bBC, will make this into a hate crime against certain elements of the black community who feel they have the right to anything they want by the use of force.
Never mind the violence, feel the diversity.
Dear BBC, what should I believe? Ryan Thomas posted on Facebook that father-of-two Mr Bryant “would put a smile on anybody’s face“. … Police said two men (one being Mr Bryant) entered the store threatening staff with a baseball bat and golf club (Smile? Frown? Fear?), and demanding cash. {bbc.co.uk jul2017} ”
Dear BBC – could you tell me more about Mr Bryant’s ‘demands for cash’.
Perhaps they mean a “Chelsea smile”?
The best way to avoid ‘Police brutality’ is to obey the law. I never break the law so I never come into contact with the Police. Mark Duggan would never have been shot had he been working hard in an office instead of being a gangster.
He looks like that Ore Oduba chap that won Strictly last year !
Of course multi-cultural liberal values work if you just give them a chance right? Islam is just a misunderstood religion, right Beeby?
A women’s rights activist who established a “liberal” mosque where burkas are banned has been placed under 24-hour police protection after receiving a deluge of death threats.
http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/founder-of-liberal-berlin-mosque-given-24hour-police-guards-after-deluge-of-death-threats-a3579116.html
Lucy,
As Dave Clark sang, ‘I feel Glad all Over’. Womens rights activist: Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. Pity more leftie liberals are not threatened by the ‘religion of peace’ similarly.
Would be great if the likes of this filth went into W1 with a baseball bat and golf club and swatted some of these lefty cucks.
The BBC always get it wrong. Cricket today. 2 hours ago BBC website says ” England SLIDING to defeat. What follows is a toatal collapse 133 all out. The BBC are like the kiss of death !
Here’s a little something the bBC isn’t reporting:
Germany: Angela Merkel rejects limits for refugees
Well it didn’t take long for this bBC favourite to show her own colours:
Having eaten her way around the country for her new BBC series, Bake Off champ Nadiya Hussain has a startling verdict on our native cuisine:’British food doesn’t exist’
Really you daft bat? Maybe you should ask the bBC to lend you this video of a real chef who travelled the UK looking at..British Food:
Rick Stein’s Food Heroes
Thanks for that, Nadiya.
I expect for her next trick, she will be telling us that the British don’t exist either, and that we are just a mongrel nation of immigrants.
Nadia,
A bitch, but she is a puppet and just being fed propaganda which she is re-gurgitating. She is just a whore who will do anything for money.
R4 You and Yours dropped the scheduled item about Halal Labelling
Then the Times tells me there is a controversy
The tick label indicates the animal was stunned before killing
The same label with Arabic writing instead is preferred by about half observing Muslims, cos it indicates there was no stunning, and that half believe stunning is UNislamic.
… or the Halal details of the imam (Shia, Sunni?)reading the Koran, the version of the Koran read out at the time of the animals death (Wahhabism?) into the animal’s non-Arabic ear.
What is halal meat? {bbc.co.uk may2014}
Animals must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter and all blood is drained from the carcass. During the process, a Muslim will recite a dedication, know as tasmiya or shahada.
Halal slaughter will never be banned in this country under grounds of animal cruelty, as to do so would also necessitate that kosher slaughter cease for the same reason and that simply isn’t going to happen.
So British food doesn’t exist eh Nadia ? will you be telling us next that Halal meat is the only true meat ? God almighty, this woman has got 8 (EIGHT) programmes under her belt to teach us Brits a thing or two. And this from a BRITISH Muslim who was born here. It makes me weep.
That’s eight more progs that I won’t ever watch, Brissles.
I can give you a recipe for our greenhouse tomatoes if you like. I won’t charge you a penny, and they’re all non halal!
Thanks Scrobby, – and have a great seven oh on Wednesday !!! (mine’s next year, but I’m deliberately going to forget it – unless I REALLY start to forget it, oh God !!!!)
Brissles, at least we’re getting there, despite the harbingers of doom trying to stop us all!
My blood pressure is so much reduced from not watching any television now! There’s much more interesting news here, and I don’t have to see overpaid idiots cavorting around places like the HOC, football stadiums, inner cities etc!
Might mow the lawn today, and I’ve got a little crop gathering (Cherokee Trail of Tears, runners, peas, spuds and courgettes) to do for lunch…
(ps – What time is The World at One on please – I forget…)
ive decided to vote with my wallet and mouth, I don’t eat meat unless i can guarantee the source, basically because i cant certify it as not halal/kosher
i dont buy stuff from muslims, full stop
I dont buy walkers kellogs etc etc
you piss me off, i withdraw my money
it may be more hassle for me and not noticed by them, but its a start and makes me feel better
indeed! Me too!! I am careful with restaurants/take-aways/taxi drivers/shops in general
I just won’t spend my money (knowingly) with (inter alia) muzzlins
..if we all did that!?
freeze ’em out as far as you can.
Kaiser, spot on!
I hope Waitrose lamb isn’t halal or kosher, as I bought a chunk yesterday…
The Duchy range in Waitrose is not halal (but it’s even more expensive – if you want ‘normal’ meat you have to pay for it!). New Zealand lamb is halal by default.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1317312/Waitrose-forced-ditch-halal-lamb-Prince-Wales-Duchy-range.html
Thanks Ian.
Yet another nail in the absurd, stupid old fart’s coffin then.
We didn’t realise that it was Duchy stuff – it definitely didn’t say so, as we’d have avoided it immediately!
That silly old twit needs to be harnessed, and if Waitrose continue to peddle his stuff then it’s back to Tesco, and bollocks to the lot of them.
I wouldn’t buy it anyway
A little bit of PATRIOTISM, is that too much to ask?
We pay your licence fee, BBC. We know you don’t want Brexit to happen, but if you cannot find one positive thing to say about David Davies’ speech to the EU, then just show his speech without comments.
Andrea Leadsom didn’t fare too well when she called for a little more BBC patriotism over Brexit in a NewsShite interview with Emily Maitlis. Emily’s faux outrage was a joy to behold.
I just read that the BBC employs 3000 journalists! What on Earth do they do? The news last night had two ‘stories’ about empowerment of women, one about how Dr Who is moving into the 21st century and another long segment about Jane Austen. What ‘journalism’ is required for such propaghanda? It is not even journalism. 3000 to produce this!
What do ‘journalists’ learn? How to convert Guardian articles into programmes? Given the actual state of the country versus the PC fantasy they project, surely any actual objective investigation of reality would constitute hate speech.
Beeb,
Who needs journalists or politicians anyway ?
Journalist’s and Politician’s.
2 parasites that mutually sustain each other.
Prezactly, Manx and Grant!
Funny how we have to wonder where all their money comes from…
Nope, I just know where it comes from.
They feed at the same trough
“The UK chief executive of Airbus, one of the earliest and most outspoken critics of Brexit, has lost his job.”
With all their talk of public sector pay cuts, could they not do their jobs just as well on half the money and give the remaining cash to nurses? Why even bother with news as there are so many other available sources? It’s like a cash-strapped team paying a player a fortune just to sit on the bench. Who gets their ‘news’ from the BBC these days?
Rod Liddle refers to the licence fee as ‘antidiluvian’ and he is spot on. I do not see how the next generation will pay the licence fee as they can get such better stuff elsewhere. I have been playing Grand Theft Auto and it is so fantastic – not PC, fun and edgy. Who wants to pay to be lectured about racism and gender all the time?

England has lost the second test against South Africa, today so I have no doubt that the bbbc will include it as a news item……
English,
Not an easy decision for the BBC. How can they reconcile their hatred of white english with their hatred of white South Africans ?
They will focus on the none white South Africans just as they do with the none white players in the England team.

Dear esteemed website.
I think I might be coming to the end of submissions of comments because I intend to limit my ingestion of al Beeb products to a minimum – which probably means programmes where Brillo is in charge , JRM is guesting and Dads Army repeats.
On another issue -webmaster – what has happened to one Halleys Comet who was posting yesterday ( think it about the new doctor who) but was found out by a colleague to be telling fibs about their background ? They said they were going away because they ‘ didn’t like right wing old men moaning all the time’ or words of a similar nature….
I suppose they’ll come back as some other beeboid spy.
Forgot to mention – watching RT news – showing Italian town mayors going on hunger strike in protest at central government/EU swamping them with illegal migrants straight off the boats. Wonder why no coverage on al Beeb ?
You don’t need to go – I gave up BBC brainwashing several years ago, but find it cathartic to keep posting every now and then, because I hear things through other media, about the awful BBC, and feel a need to vent my spleen occasionally.
Me too Fed Up et al. I used to think it was my duty to know what was happening in the world and pre the internet that meant the BBC. However these days the BBC is either no news (female Dr Who) or Fake News. I just about believe my local news when sadly someone riding a bike has been killed (although I wouldn’t rely on whose fault it was because in the BBC’s eyes it would always be the lorry/car driver) and I just about believed tonight’s the story about seagulls stopping the postmen working in Bridlington (but maybe it was just too hot?). If people link to stories here from about the world, I will try to read with an open mind – but really all I know (and do I sound like Donald Romsfeld?) that there is the stuff we know, and the stuff we don’t know and then there is the stuff that we know we don’t know – and that is usually what the BBC refuses to tell us eg re immigration, what is really happening in the Conservative Party, the case for Brexit, the fact that a few warm days in July doesn’t mean the end of the world, etc etc.
From a fairly recent Peter Hitchens Mail Online column, talking about an item on drugs on Radio 4’s ‘Today’ :
” … … ‘Today’, once essential, has in recent years become so dull and complacent that I often doze off while listening. It is claimed that its audience has gone up. If so, it must be composed of supermarket check-out robots, whose idea of excitement is to shout ‘Unexpected item in bagging area!’ Nobody else could actively want to listen to its lifeless daily rehearsals of Leftish conventional wisdom. … … …”
Give yourselves a shake … learn to disperse angry crowds with facts and cameras ….
“Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World”
“…because they’ve held over our heads, with contempt, the false narrative of their innate (natural) tolerance. The least tolerant people you will ever meet in your entire lives…” – Andrew Breitbart
I must admit I also have to limit my time here because I hardly watch or listen to anything BBC these days so its difficult to come up with the bias when I only channel hop.
But I still read the posts and add what I can . I had to stop watching because of my blood pressure ,I was getting obsessed …..
Same here Deborah – Most of my comments these days are of a generalist nature or a comment on someones comments. The fact is – is that since the General election (if possible ) the BBC has become positively rabid in their pursuit of all things pc and left wing. Most of the time these days I listen to classic FM . Its almost as if they want us to switch off – maybe thats it – so they can carry on with “the devils work” using the airwaves to issue instructions to their followers via “Radio Grenfell”
I just come to vent or ”chat”……. the bbc are disgusting, the links provided here are my portals, i dont go there just to browse, i’m happy with the sound of kids and wood pigeons coming in thru the open doors all day, and the lab snoring, dont go looking to have my guts twisted by them.
Debora / Goat,
Thanks for the comment . I feel fairly defeated by albeeb / msm. At least with RT you know where you stand and they have different news values. Problem for me, like others here , is that I’m a bit of a news junky. I care greatly about Blighty and dispise what has and is being done with it .
And the only time we get to comment on it is in the EU vote which so many are seeking to undermine.
Deborah – Goat – Fed…
Same here! Mrs Scroblene and I always used to turn on the 6:00 pm news and watch with a tincture, and now we never bother with the bbbc as the tincture is so much more interesting, and the blood pressure stays low enough for a frequent refill!
So it’s a win – win situation, no bbbc crap, and a long and loving chat with a lovely wife, and a few tinctures to lead us towards a good book each, or occasionally in my case, a few dips into a good ‘Genesis’ Youtube – preferable a long one…
Life is so much nicer without the bbbc.
My grand-daughter filled out an application for me ad my wife to go on “POINTLESS”.Although
pointless is partly amusing and they don’t expect the contestants to be entrants for the Brain of
Britain, they do ask questions on the application to see if you are not going to make a complete
fool of yourself.
I have always wanted to go on MASTERMIND I have a few specialist subjects, the main ones being
VERDI and the NORMANDY CAMPAIGN 1944. But my general knowledge isn’t quite good enough to say
get more than 35% of the questions correct.
I would like to ask the BBC a question to the producers of “CELEBRITY MASTERMIND” What do some
of the contestants need to know other than their names to get on the show? We saw a lady this evening
who had won two gold medals at the Olympics who other than knowing what her name was, knew practically
nothing else. In a way it was rather like inverted racism by the diversity staff at the BBC who picked her.
David Lammy springs to mind…
“It’s not what you know, it’s what the BBC didn’t tell you that matters.” … Possibly an early warning for future generations.
Always think the opposite to what you hear on the bbc.
That way, you’ll be well informed.
Things didn’t go to plan on Mastermind tonight, did it? And it was a repeat which I am surprised they showed again.
The two older men did far better that the two young women. One of the women looked Asian and was a CBeebies presenter or something. However limiting her specialist subject to Jurassic Park films must have meant that she could answer all the questions – but not quite. She was also so bouncy that she was a pain in the neck. It was not racism on my part, she would have been irritating if she had been sky blue pink. The black female paraolympian – received 3 points over both sections – even worse than David Lammy I think. Her specialist subject was Arsenal Football Club (didn’t quite hit the right-on BBC spot and demand questions on the women’s team) I cannot remember whether she limited the specialist questions to a few short years but certainly there were no questions from say the 1920s. David Aaronovitch looked to be doing brilliantly and with some proper questions in the general knowledge (not the questions about Girls Aloud and Spandex that had gone before). Then suddenly he was thrown some googlies, those impossible questions for anybody but a true Mastermind freak. Those questions slowed him down and he came in second. But a greying male breakfast presenter (Tim somebody or other but I couldn’t tell you who) flew past David to win the award.
I remember reading on here once that an insider said that nothing on the BBC happens by chance. I always suspect that on quiz shows there are two sets of questions and that if, having had a proper education, you appear to be doing too well, the presenter, either via paper questions or those that appear on their personal screen, will suddenly go harder. If you are hopeless (and a 3 in any Mastermind is just that) then the questions suddenly get easier. Watch any quiz show and you can see when the questions change.
Good points Deb. I rather suspected as much when watching the infuriating Eggheads. There is always a choice of going first or second, and after the first couple or so, the questions appear to favour the resident team. My blood pressure is affected so I never get to see the end.
As for ‘celebrity’ quizzes or ‘Christmas specials’, most of the participants be they ‘personalities or sports people’, can barely string a sentence together without a script, so I never watch them.
A Tardis may become a useful accessory for the modern woman
“… whether you like it or not!”
Colin Baker (one of the rubbish Doctors – not Tom Baker who was a rather good Doctor Who) wheels himself out today in defence of his beloved BBC. He is quoted in the Evening Standard as saying “She IS the Doctor whether you like it or not”.
How very BBC. Can you imagine a commercial entertainment provider expressing such distain for the tastes of its paying customers?
And there were we thinking the show in question was light entertainment mainly aimed at the young. Turns out it is in fact some weird public sinecure which must be handed around among various identity groups.
I’m also taken aback by comments that this will provide a positive role model for girls – to grow up to be…. Time Lords? Really?
Mind you, as more and more young women are pressured into the workplace as a matter of public (and BBC) policy, I guess that ever more forty somethings will be realising their frustation at being without a family and then require their own Tardis in order to send their reproductive organs back in time.
BBC look north lunchtime today
Yet another article on a mosque open day.
Another crew sent down to South Shields mosque to film a bunch of cub scouts being brainwashed into how wonderful and peaceful Islam is.
What is it with the people who run BBC look north and their infatuation with Islam.
It’s rammed down our throats every other week. Anything to do with muslim’s or Islam has to be broadcast throughout the N. East.
Do other “local” BBC stations do this on such a frequent basis? Or is this just reserved for us pagans that live up north.
The bBC, Not the Nine O/Clock News and another Gerald the Gorilla story:
Today (As it does at least once a week) the bBC has aired another rise in Islamophobia story:
Finsbury Park Mosque fears rise in Islamaphobic hate crime
The chairman of Finsbury Park Mosque has warned Islamophobia has risen since the recent terror attacks in the UK.
Mohammed Kozbar said the mosque had experienced “a rise of hate letters, threatening letters… and something needs to be done about it”.
And here is what the bBC doesn’t want you to know:
Anti-Semitic crime rose 44 percent in Britain since 2014
Anti-Semitic crime in the United Kingdom rose 44 percent in the past two years, according to a new audit released by the Campaign Against Antisemitism. The 2016 National Antisemitic Crime Audit registered a total of 1,078 anti-Semitic crimes, including 105 that were violent — about one in 10. Only one of the violent crimes was prosecuted, according to the audit. In total, only 15 cases were prosecuted, leading to the conviction of 17 suspects, according to the Campaign Against Antisemitism.
As for Gerald:
Marvellous, Pounce…
