Start the Week Open Thread 21 May 2018

As many Britons bath in the post  nuptuals of a recent diverse wedding we return to the sad prospect of biased al Beeb. Monday the 21st – start of the Grenfell inquiry, Tuesday 22nd – anniversary of the Muslim terrorist attack in Manchester and at the end of the week the Irish Referendum on abortion . And the ongoing attacks on President Trump, Brexit and anyone or anything of which Albeeb groupthink disapproves

so a busy week…

    Did anyone who watches or listens to bBC hear anything yesterday about the Falklands anniversary (1982) of the landing of British troops at San Carlos, and the sinking of HMS Ardent?
    @BritComMil
    Loss of life of our troops defending our territory. I would expect at least a passing mention by our national broadcaster.

    Moped crime: New rules to protect police pursuit drivers

    Can anyone on this site explain to me why it took so long to be introduced?

    Useless politicians. At what point did it dawn on the politician
    ‘Ah, here is a good idea’

    Tories used to pride itself on being the party of Law and Order.
    Not anymore.

      Just wait for more ‘collateral’ damage as the ‘highly-trained’ police officers discover that the Laws of Newton are universal.

      A blue flashing light might enable The Tardis to travel harmlessly through time and space but the same doesn’t apply to police vehicles running red lights, driving on the wrong side of the road or too fast to stop within sighting distance of a hazard.

      We shouldn’t have let the ‘foxes’ into ‘the hen house’ to breed in the first place. But then there would be no jobs for politicians, lawyers and social workers would there?

      Law and Order for politicians is a mathematical formula.
      It is directly proportional to the contribution to party funds plus the social justice coefficient.
      Assumptions: Contribution can be direct (to party) or indirect (to a party individual).
      Social justice coefficient is proportional to the amount of votes for the party.

    I guess that no social scientist to date of that report, realised that for islam, “common social norms” meant changing British society to fit in with islam’s ‘social norms’. With much assistance from the UK Government it has to be said. Curbs on Free Speech are typical of what the population of the Middle Eastern countries live with daily. What restriction next? Take your pick. The Government have much to choose from but I imagine they will consult with Saudi Arabia and the UN first. Voters? Nah, who are they? “You reap what you sow”……..

    Darkly surreal interview on Toady with a Manchester victim. Apparently ‘the bomb’ has changed her for the better as she now appreciates things more; she will soon look back without anger; the bomber acted on his own and ‘didn’t represent his community.’ Why do you have to have a ‘community’ why not just f**king integrate?

    Sounds like we should be grateful for terrorism. Just when you think the BBC cannot sink any lower they do.

        We did have communities when I was growing up, based on people actually knowing each other and on cultural homogeneity- including being proud of ones country and being of similar religious background even if not avidly followed.
        I don’t see any of this now. The word community is misused and often refers to ethnic ghettos characterised by a refusal to assimilate.

      This term ‘community’ is an interesting one, BB. Look out for it. We are going to be seeing plenty more if it.
      It can mean what it says on the tin, but it can also mean something else. And when it means something else, violence is often part of the jigsaw.
      I was reading a piece by a South African journalist, who was explaining the ever-increasing violence there (not reported by the BBC?) by people who claim to represent ‘the community’ was threatening a conflagration because a guilt-ridden government did little to enforce law and order (sound familiar?).
      ‘The community’ looks like one of those dangerous phrases that can have many meanings; sometimes it is an innocent context, it seems, sometimes it is used by politicians to manipulate the public.
      And sometimes it is possible that the public will swallow the political manipulation.
      Dangerous stuff, language. Vigilance is needed.

        You really have a bit of catching up to do on the mainland, look at the stability and the harmony we enjoy In Northern Ireland.

        We have loads of community workers and community representatives, often ex IRA or ex UVF, mostly ex IRA, and I say ex but…. well, you know, I’m not sure there is an Irish word for taqiyya. Although in truth there seems no need to go through the charade over here anyway.

        Derry/ Londonderry, as it is actually referred to in our local media, is such a ‘community’, like a Republican Liverpool, the bBbc are in awe at the depth of its (mono) culture and colourful characters, the people who care, rising against British aggression by taking as much money from them as possible. Downtrodden and apparently neglected, the ‘community’ is funded to the hilt for important stuff like the arts, ‘remembering’, the promotion of Irish culture and festivals. ‘Communities’ love festivals.

        This week the ‘community’ of Derry/ Londonderry, mainly on the self-styled ‘West Bank’, will do what all good ‘communities’ must do, show solidarity with similar ‘communities’. They’re doing this by lighting all their civic buildings in the colours of the Palestinian flag for 48 hours. The Israelis obviously didn’t pay enough attention to their active support of the BDS boycott and funny enough the bBbc haven’t reported this yet. But they will, they love to promote ‘communities’ like this.

      How Blair can still show his face after allowing millions of east Europeans into Blighty without restriction whilst the rest of the EU restricted it is beyond me. It’s why the public service are in an even shitttier order than they were.

    I did listen to a little of Nick Robinson’s toe curling Manchester interviews, before I switched off and sat down with a pot of tea and Edward Elgar. Christ, the BBC are excruciating. They had an interview with, what sounded like, a 12 year old girl, who was regurgitating the progressive cliches doled out by the media; “It’s all about bringing people together…” She can be forgiven, she’s only a kid. Most grown ups know better.
    What we really need is a BBC investigation into what this terrorist turd was doing in our country in the first place. And while they’re at it perhaps they’d like to investigate the recent attempted tube bombing, when it was revealed this vile piece of Islamist excrement had been trained as a killer and our useless, pathetic excuse for a government, still let the bloody thing in. But for the grace of God, hundreds could have been slaughtered.
    The Beeb could ask “Is virtue signalling putting people’s lives at risk?”
    They might inquire “Does this over populated country really need a million more inhabitants every three years?”
    They could ask all sorts of sane and sensible questions.
    However…

    What do Americans think of the BBC ?

    I listen carefully to some centre-right commentators – not some bunch of scary alt-right backwoods hillbillies – but well-informed people who have been very critical of Donald Trump. However, moderate conservative Americans are not happy about the BBC’s legendary balance. Here’s a couple of typical quotes:

    “By the way, if you want to see the worst possible construction put on Donald Trump and American policy – but done with a certain tone – you don’t have to flip to Rachel Maddow and MSNBC, you can just go straight to BBC America and see tham all condescend to us with lovely accents”

    “The BBC’s coverage is remarkable but I listened to the BBC’s World Service which has a variety of interesting accents without the smug little faces but you get the same general dripping condescension of America in those plummy Beeb voices”

    Oh dear. Britain’s voice to the World.

        I enjoy a few programmes on channels like the Travel Channel sometimes that are about people the likes of Katty Kay and Zurcher could label as ‘backwoods ‘, ‘rednecks’ and even ‘hillbillies’. Programmes like ‘Fixer Uppers’, ‘Barnwood Builders’, ‘Maine Cabin Masters’. Seem like decent people to me. People I can identify with.

        Comfortable in their faith, proud of their heritage and culture, family oriented, warm and generous and without any obvious political agenda. Decent folk that the bBbc don’t understand and so aren’t interested in, engaging programmes without malice that the bBbc no longer can make, where people enjoy life.

        I think this is the real America that I’d love to see and I think that the Britain that most of us want to live in is similar but it’s not the impression anyone watching the bBc would get.

It sold like the proverbial hot cakes (from Hell) as there’s no fury like an ex-insider. Used copies changed hands for large sums of money, or so Jon Sopel told us.

      Not anymore. £5.68 for a used copy of Fire & Fury at a well known Internet bookseller.

      Unfortunately, the flame has dimmed even further on ‘What Happened’ by a certain Hillary Rodham Clinton. That has sunk to £2.96.

      Good old Orwell.

      Non-reporting is also part of a narrative. Earlier I was mentioning how a South African journalist had discussed how violence had become so everyday in South Africa that no one seemed to notice the country was heading for a conflagration.
      One staggering example he mentioned is how thirty-five large goods trucks were brought to a halt on the main Johannesburg-Durban motorway a fortnight ago, torched and looted. And how little the police have done in response. You would have thought that the BBC would have been all over this; there was a time when a constant flow of reports of violence from SA was a daily event.
      Would it be cynical to observe that the corporation now has what it wanted there, so is no longer interested? Or is it embarrassed to find the paradise it was looking forward to, is not quite that? That it got things wrong?

        For the LibbieLefties, coal miners were once heroes battling to save their valuable & essential commodity, and the pits where they struggled to mine it, from closure by the evil Tor-reeeees. (In reality, Labour governments closed more pits than the Conservatives did in government – a fact frequently overlooked at the BBC.)

        But now coal is evil according to our Mishal. A hot-hearted killer, poisoning us all to certain death and destroying our planet forever.

    Joke science took a further giant step forward on the BBC this morning with the second part of “Climate change and me” presented by noted twitcher Sir John Lawton.

    According to Sir John, the planet is changing rapidly as a result of man-made CO2 warming and we are in the midst of a giant uncontrolled experiment as we warm the joint up. Sir John suggests that if we can hold temperature rises to around 2C we have a chance. None of this imagery was backed up by any actual science but no matter. Maybe Sir John is unaware that it is impossible to hold nature back – it will set the thermostat and any living beings in residence will have to adapt. Over relatively short periods, the temperatures on earth have always varied widely.

    According to Sir John “shed-loads” of scientific studies show that nature is on the move. What a magnificent use of no doubt public money to bring us this astounding news! He notes that the once rare little egret is now widely seen in the south of England. But he gets into a bit of a muddle when he also admits that it was once hunted in Britain to near extinction during Victorian times. It seems unlikely that man-made climate change is behind the movement by this little herring back to its former feeding grounds.

    On puffins Sir John seems similarly unsound. Apparently as sea waters warm, the sea eels move away from the coast leaving food in short supply for the puffins. But puffins spend most of their time on the open ocean returning to the land mainly to breed. Are puffin colonies dying out because of a lack of nutritious eels? Sir John stopped short of supplying us with an answer.

    Next up is geographer Mary Edwards talking about the disappearance of ice in the Arctic. Your correspondent was planning a trip to the Arctic this summer but decided to cancel it. Apparently there are so many protected polar bears roaming around these days that it is becoming even more dangerous than Deptford town centre on a Saturday night.

    According to Woman’s hour R4 – apparently men get their dating techniques from looking at porn or going to seduction classes – ..then she realised what she had said and added . “not all men”….Ha ha sort of tells you all you need to know about her mindset..

    I was thinking about BBC and somebody needs to tell them that being white is not bad and being BAME is not good, Being male is not bad and being female is not good, being Christian is not bad and being Muslim is not good, being hetero is not bad and being LGBQT is not good, UK history is not bad and Muslim history is not good…Brexiteers are not bad and remoaners are not good..Simples… there is good and bad everywhere.

    What are the chances of them listening?

        Big difference between Manchester and Grenfell…. Manchester (according to the BBC) was caused by a “bomb was detonated” so no human had any part in it
        (see 2nd sentence in http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-44197949)

        whereas Grenfell (as the BBC and Lefties like to think) was planned murder of immigrants by many many white skinned people.

        Kaiser
        There is a peculiar inversion in the way the BBC treats Grenfell and the Manchester atrocity . You would think Grenfell was the planned mass-casualty terrorist attack and Manchester was the “act of god” with no political or social background or relevance. Guilty parties have to be found for Grenfell. “Social murder” a conspiracy of the male, stale and pale to off the other. Something that is at worst criminal negligence or “corporate manslaughter” becomes a “white supremacist” plot. The Manchester atrocity, on the other hand, has nothing to do with the ideology of islam and its political agenda in Britain. It’s almost an unfortunate accident – the profusion of other similar Big Beard atrocities being blocked out in the usual way.
        Grenfell means interminable “dies irae” moments, while Manchester has to be a blubathon as it’s a “tragedy” not mass murder with people who should be blamed.

          I heard the partner of the gay lad killed at the MEN Arena talking to Nick Robinson earlier.
          1. We would have no talk of who did it-he was sad and misguided.
          2. We`ll not name the murderer-he`d only like that.
          3. Others who DO link Salman Abedi the Muslim Islamist freeloader whose family we let in to do this in 1993-well they`re playing politics, as opposed to Nick and the BBC-and himself for that matter.
          4. His dead partner died as he lived-as a star, a fan, a famous friend of hte great and good like Ariana, Simon etc….so isn`t that all we all want.
          5. Hell-they`ve even done a PLAY about him in a Salford pub-which may yet transfer to the Contact Theatre bu the Uni….I mean…that alone was worth the deaths, huh.

          As for plays about how an Abedi was able to do this, how a Lee Rigby is sacrificed for the consciences of Robinson and Mancunian gays?

        Many thanks for this link. I now know the arm of the BBC responsible for that terrible propaganda film aimed at young students (as highlighted by NF and others recently) is BBC Teach.
        http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4bsKNFXtl1cZPtCThnC1J6b/dont-hate-the-debate-citizenship

        BBC Teach is a youtube offshoot (funded by the licence fee). They also have a twitter page. I’d like to hear from our Holly Selassie about this – is it encouraged in schools as a teaching aid?

        On the basis of that one film alone the whole organisation should be entirely shut down (not to mention the NUT which Anne Marie Waters wants to see the back of).

        I note also the continuous propaganda on CBBC, as highlighted by B-B-C below @12:35pm.

    Don’t fret, I have no doubt our beloved state broadcaster will be all over this, interviewing family and friends. They’ll speak to “the community” (that’s us!) and ask us what we feel about having hoards of Islamist thugs roaming our streets. They’ll ask us if we feel betrayed by successive governments. What’s it like living under a Muslim mayor.
    Be fair, they’re busy at the moment. They have to discuss Islamphobia and what it’s like being a Muslim in Britain today. And there must be some insignificant smidgen they haven’t regaled us with about our multicultural royal wedding
    And, of course, there will be the obligatory interview with the delightful Yasmin Ali Baba Brown. We’ll have done something to upset her, you can bet your bottom dollar!

        But if it`s done deliberately by murderous muslims only doing what their Koran tells them to do? Then all you need is a tealight and a Chinese lantern to float it.
        Islam hates and fears tealights and teddies I think. And as long as it`s said in a regional accent, that`ll be all you`ll need.

    Here is the BBC response to my complaint…
    I note your concerns relating the quality of this report which you feel contained fake or misleading content.

    The wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was an event which generated a lot of interest both nationally and internationally. The aim of this article was intended to highlight some additional moments from the event which they may have missed. The two segments of this article which you have raised were examples of this and was intended to be a light hearted look at the day as a whole. That said, please be assured we acknowledge the strength your concerns and welcome your feedback in this matter.

      2012 … “Two and a half years ago, the coalition government was formed, and we made a clear promise to the British public. After thirteen years of uncontrolled mass immigration, this government would reduce and control immigration.” – Theresa May 2012

      2015 … “Because when immigration is too high (no figure given), when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society.” – Theresa May 2015

      Jeremy Corbyn … with all the news on BBC £3.5bn Service regarding the Iran Nuclear Deal, Jeremy Corbyn has not been asked why he backs Al Quds protests and has spoken at them or why his is not vocal on Iran’s ‘death to’ position with Israel.

      2012 … Jeremy Corbyn speaks at Al Quds march, Al Quds is the protest for all the oppressed but was initiated by an oppressor Ayatollah Khomeini. Jeremy Corbyn does not chastise the Iranian regime.

      2018 … Iran release a ‘Death to Israel’ and ‘Death to America’ Government approved emoji. But this is not mentioned when talking about Iran by the BBC or other outlets.

      MPs expenses …. it was in 2008 that MPs used expenses to fill their own pockets or shredded. UK MPs on both sides have talked about reducing expenses and recession and austerity. Yet, since 2010 MPs have enjoyed a pay increased of 18%. How come the BBC news has not reported on this when talking to MPs?

      “The omission is the most powerful form of lie, and it is the duty of the historian to ensure that those lies do not creep into the history books.” – George Orwell

      BBC NONE RESPONSE …

      Thank you for getting in touch regarding BBC News.

      I understand you have concerns about the integrity of BBC News reporting over the last few years.

      BBC News aims to show the political reality and provide a forum for discussion on issues, giving full opportunity for all sides of the debate to be heard and explored. Senior editorial staff within BBC News and the BBC’s Executive Board ensure that editorial guidelines are adhered to.

      Our News editors ensure that over a reasonable period of time we reflect the range of significant views, opinions and trends on particular issues, but it’s important to add here that our published Editorial Guidelines explain that not every issue or viewpoint necessarily has to be included in each individual report.

      The key point is that the BBC as an organisation has no view or position itself on anything we may report upon – our aim is to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of our audiences.

      In dealing with any controversial issue, we are required to give a fair and balanced report, but balance cannot be judged simply on the basis of the amount of time allocated to the representatives of either side of an argument. One spokesperson may make their points concisely, while another needs rather longer to explain a point of view or a complex issue, plus a change to the existing position or status quo may take longer to clarify.

      Account also needs to be taken of the way a subject is covered over a period of time; perfect balance is difficult to achieve on every single individual occasion, while overall it is a more achievable goal taking into account our coverage as a whole over a period of time.

      That said, we do value your feedback about this issue. All complaints are sent to senior management every morning and I included your points in this overnight report.

      These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your complaint has been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmes.

      Once again, thank you for contacting us.

      Kind regards

      Gareth Murray

      Sets quite the precedent.

      Maybe… ‘it’s something Frankie Boyle may have said’?

    Jawad Iqbal in the Times
    \\ Muslims are no more likely than the rest of the population to be stopped on suspicion of committing a crime, according to a study published today by Cambridge’s Woolf Institute (data 2006-2011)

    But Muslims were eight times more likely than any other ethnic or religious group to be searched once they had been stopped. //

    Equality?

    No questions asked, of course, by the BBC.

    I wonder why?

    Jordan Peterson, is a prime illustration of what has been dubbed the “intellectual dark web” by our Mel
    ‘an equivalent to those underground ideas networks in the old Soviet times’

    Brexit : Ireland left the UK, how come the same arguments don’t apply to it ?
    How come Remainers are not screaming for it to join the UK ?
    How come we manage to have a trade zone with it easily ?
    (All be it with free movement of people)

    The only example of BBC’s right leaning bias
    ..is the way Jeremy Thorpe’s parting was combed to the right
    whereas in reality it was to the left.

    I bet the BBC and the labour Party are happy with Labour Party Member David Lewis for expressing his views on ” Gender self identification” in the following manner :-

    “I self-identify as a woman on Wednesdays, between 6.50am when my alarm goes off and around midnight when I go to bed.”

    “My womanness is expressed by my saying ‘I self identify as a woman’ now and again on Wednesdays. I make no changes in my behaviour or my appearance. I keep my name, David and my male pronouns. I wear the same sort of clothes I wear the rest of the week. I keep my beard. I enjoy the full womanness of my beard.”

    A bit of common sense in the crazy world of ‘political correctness’ in which the New Conservative Party is as compliant as the Left.

    ( Unless of course he is being serious !!!!!! )
