A happy Christmas to all our readers and contributors . In the spirit of the Season let us remember the good old days when the BBC helped make Christmas as opposed to current times .
and a special thought to the 49 thousand members of the £12 billion pound BBC pension fund .
Merry Christmas and an unbiased 2019
BBC front page news has the headline: “Banksy’s Port Talbot snow mural attacked by ‘drunk halfwit'”
Going into more detail on this on this important news the BBC tells us: “The mural was not damaged and police ultimately did not attend the incident at about 22:30 GMT on Saturday.”
So the opinion of an unknown security guard, on an unverified “drunken halfwit” who was on on public property, and did not do any damage to this mural, and the incident was not even bad enough to involve the police… merits front page news by the BBC?
This “news” sounds like something that used to come out of the Soviet Union… when they used to report about their “bumper” harvests in every news cast… while the Citizens of that country saw bare shelves in their day to day lives.
Next they will be snatching people off the streets for mentioning Islamic rape gangs… And the media will fail to report on it… this also the kind of thing that used to happen in the Soviet Union.

What a load of absolute clap trap is Eastenders!
Portraying the streets of the East End of London as a little lovely cosy multi culti love fest where everyone gathers as one big happy family and sings carols together. A baby born on Christmas Eve and it’s black with the little girl asking “is that the baby Jesus?” Oh how sweet. It’s a boy! Another one to grow up and join the ever increasing knife crime statistics?
The bbc are in fantasy land. Mary poppins is more realistic!
We wish you a hushed up Christmas

case #2 of Christian family in Netherlands
\\ Worshippers at a Dutch church have vowed to continue more than six weeks of continuous prayer services “for as long as necessary” to prevent the deportation of an Armenian family.
Bethel church in the Hague is shielding the Tamrazyan family under a Dutch law that prevents police entering a place of worship while a ceremony is in progress. //
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/prayers-round-the-clock-for-asylum-family-37q6dq786
There’s two issues here
#1 whether these Christians are being unfairly treated compared to Muslims
#2 Whether we support the Border dept once they have made a decision
… To me the Armenian family would be better off in Georgia, a Christian country next door
– Likewise I’m not sure if every part of Pakistan is dangerous to Christians
.. i think actually it’s better for rich countries to accept zero refugees and rather subcontract our allocation to countries who can do the job more cheaply. That would seriously discourage fake refugees ho are really economic migrants.
The principle also has to be that refugees are directed towards countries with similar cultures
ie Muslim refugees should go to Muslim countries
and African Christians ..are better off in safe African countries so that when their home country stabilises they can return.

Heat the Wok with Andrew Marr (BBC R4 9am, rep 9.30pm) today, talking about ice. Very sage nodding when the problem of Global Warming and Climate Change is mentioned. Finishes with earnest explorer wishing to take CO2 producing aircraft and then CO2 producing boat loads of young people to Antarctica to see it for themselves. No doubt when they post photos on Facebook and Twitter and their Vlogs & Blogs, all their relatives, friends and contemporaries will then want to go there and see it for themselves, producing a whole lot more CO2.
If that was not bad enough …
Chris (Fact-Check) Morris was in charge of The World Tonight. He has an item, after one about political and scientific facts, on the dire future of the planet due to AGW & CC.

Stew, I could not put it down. I felt like I’d discovered the text from an ancient religion, something I’d been looking for my whole life. It’s an absolute must read.
This is not BBC, nor even TV but it is the same mindset.
Mrs D and myself went to the RSC version of A Christmas Carol a few days ago. Some of it was beautifully done but the script was completely changed to fulfill SJW standards. I know the story extremely well (I’ve read it dozens of times) so know how hackneyed the script. Repeated lectures on child labour in Victorian times – Dickens was far more eloquent on social issues than these pathetic SJWs could ever be.
Scrooge was turned into a racist – after all in their tiny little minds there is no greater crime than to make a racist comment. There is absolutely nothing whatever about race in the book, Scrooge hated everybody, you could say he was an equal-opportunity hater.. Many of the male characters (but never the bad ones) became women.
There was of course the obligatory anti-Trump joke which fell flat so it was repeated, then some of the audience went hysterical (the thickos needed to be told it twice to understand it despite it being as subtle as a sledgehammer) although many did not react in the “right” way I’m pleased to say. There was loads of changes to the plot it generally made things worse.
I could make a whole list of these changes and SJWing but the point is why do these lefty-fascists always ruin things for other people! Not everything needs to be politicised even if you are an SJW.
Still Merry Christmas and God Bless us every-one.
Dickens the famous anti-racist ?
Scrooge is not down as a Jewish character, but In a Christmas Carol this was Marley .. who is Jewish … who is bogged down in chains and suffering for his greed that he had during his lifetime.
..and there’s obviously Fagin .. master criminal who kept the pickpockets working and in line.
This RSC adaption was by David Edgar “playwright and veteran anti-racist campaigner”..It’s not new it dates to Feb 2017 ..Dec 2017 review
– There aren’t many tweets praising this 2018 season.
His Guardian articles
What did he think of the murder of Lee Rigby ?
BTW in April the RSC & libverse exploded at Quentin Letts when in a play review he said
review : https://theatrecat.com/2018/12/12/a-christmas-carol-royal-shakespeare-theatre-stratford-upon-avon/
I see they ticked the Donald Trump box, but what about Islam and climate change?
No Islam, except for Scrooge twice referring to “Ch**** and Blackamoors”. Everything done twice to make sure the soup-brained members of the audience caught their narrative. Nothing about climate change, LGBTQXYZNBGQQQQQ rights. BTW I have never considered Marley to be Jewish, just a misanthrope like Scrooge.

” Everything done twice to make sure the soup-brained members of the audience caught their narrative.”
Surely the audience, who voted to remain in the EU, had razor sharp intellects and more degrees than a thermometer?
You make it sound like the Now Show recording studio. Populated by trained seals and stinking of the fish provided to get their flippers together.
The new adaptation by David Edgar runs at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre until February 2018

Without an authenticated source, how can you be sure where it originates ? ..it could be 10 years old or something.
Radio 4 news has as it’s first, and therefore perceived by them as most important and interesting item, the 13 iranian invaders being saved by two of our lifeboat crews who one would have hoped would know better. On Christmas day they think this is what we want to hear and they expect us to be relieved at their rescue. Well I’m not.
Anyway, I shouldn’t be on the internet today. I’m off back to the cooker.
Bless you all (but not muslims).
I always donate and raise funds for lifeboat organizations. I will have to have a rethink
by 6pm they were onto 40
with more neutral language like “collected”
..Smugglers picked today for an onslaught , some migrants were arrested whist walking in Folkstone
9 were intercepted by French
Why do BBC news reports insist on using the verb ‘rescued’ when illegal immigrants are apprehended entering UK waters in their rubber dingys?
Are paedophiles liberated when caught?
Are Muslim stabbing car drivers retrieved?
Are rapist groomers extricated?
There’s one sentence with a very appropriate verb that I’ve never heard in a BBC news report and that is, that the invaders were ‘returned’ to police custody in France.
Bah, humbug.
Guess what?
A bunch of raving loonies, who chain themselves to railings, have been protesting outside the BBC demanding that our distinguished propaganda service does more on climate change
Over to you Harrabin
Extinction Rebellion: The story behind the activist group
They’ve blocked bridges, glued themselves to the gates of Downing Street, and closed roads, all in the name of stopping climate change.

Christmas Quiz
..when does the Grenfell Inquiry resume ?
..
The Grenfell event from day one has been a controlled public relations exercise for the Labour Party, to bash the Tories
And so timing has to help Labour win the next election.
… So the inquiry is REALLY not due to restart until the END of 2019
FFS You can’t bring back the dead , only prevent repeats
So main thing to do is to make sure high rise tenants have their own CO2 fire extinguishers and are trained how to use them, as well as practiced in evacuation.

BBC news this morning. Excited reporter outside the church in Norfolk awaiting the arrival of the Royals. She then hones in a clutch of children – none were of the white persuasion, asking them puerile questions of which it took all of 5 minutes to answer. More excruciating then having teeth pulled. I changed channels.
Outside reporters should be banned from going anywhere near anyone under the age of 21 for a comment. Change that – to ANY member of the public !!!

And so the coastguards, lifeboat services, and all are doing their bit to repopulate this country.
I can’t see why these invaders can’t wait a few hours at one of the Normandy ports when they will be given a ride in a UK car or mysteriously avoid customs search of the large lorries They are getting through. I travel to France regularly and notice that the migrants are smartly dressed and not sleeping rough and do not have to wait long for UK cars and cans to meet them in the tree areas near the port.
Not the bbc, but the media seem as one in what they seek to punt out as news, and how it gets received.
Indeed, comments could be going better.

I have only recently become reluctantly aware of how biased the BBC is because all my life I had believed that it could be trusted. The methods used by the BBC protect their biased asses are quite subtle and rely on at least two strategies:
On any news subject BBC reporting is broken down into multiple reports and one of these will contain a fair summary of all the facts. The rest of the reporting however will pick out whatever of these facts suits its world view and promote it.
Another strategy, used over the holidays, is where a short report was broadcast in this case about how liberal ideology in Sweden is failing. Of course, this would have gone unnoticed by most, but the BBC can always refer to it in the future to protect themselves.
On matters #CCBGB the Economist is another publication, along with such as the FT, that are the BBC’s kind of folk. Along with Brexit, here they are thinking in terms of only money:
Happy Boxing Day, but the BBC doesn’t let up

Why does it need to broadcast across the EU? Surely the docile majorities in the EU are already full onboard with the sort of pro-EU and SJW propaganda that the BBC wants to indoctrinate them with.

Not surprised at this. Erdogan is hoping to be the new Sultan of a revived Ottoman Empire. He already has one foot in Germany, which no other Ottoman Sultans have ever achieved.

fakenewswatcher,
A possible German-Ottoman alliance is one reason I wanted us out of the EU. I don’t want Germany dragging us in to that kind of dangerous alliance. Britain could/should have been a resistor-nation to that kind of power base.
I have a feeling the UK has been in favour of Turkey joining the EU, which it would dominate, demographically-speaking.
An Ottaman-German alliance could well be different from the past, with the Ottomans leading and the Germans obeying. Merkel and her grand alliance government have been showing every sign of playing second fiddle to the Turks, who have completely outwitted Merkel.
Erdogan has had a free hand to whip up millions of Turks living in Germany for his own purposes, and most of them appear to remain Turks first and Germans second.

Interesting collection of twitter addresses for Christmas, Nick.
Congratulations to R4 (I don’t often find myself saying that, but praise where it’s due). Their lunch-time bulletin took the government to task for failing to protect British shores against the ‘migrant’ invasion by little boats. It quoted Dover MP, Charlie Elphicke, to the effect that the Home Office and other relevant authorities (Border Force?) were not being effective at all. Just for a brief moment there, it seemed the text had been written by the bbc of old.
By comparison, an evasive lunchtime beeb TV1 news bulletin made it sound like a jolly outing was being had by all, and the weather was possibly spoiling it for the ‘migrants’.
I have no problem with saving those in little dinghies just as long as all those saved are immediately returned to France and the boats destroyed.
Keeping them here gives out the message that soft touch Britain will give you everything, will not deport you and illegal entry is accepted. That in turn will encourage more to make the trip.
With our government I have absolutely no faith that they will return them and can only see increasing numbers with many dying in the attempt.
Also
With our rapidly diminishing Forces here’s a suggestion to save some money.
Instead of spending billions to attack enemy airfields we should get a couple of hundred drones which will ground the enemy airforce as has been shown at Gatwick.
Emmanuel – Nobody wants to see anybody drown, but do you really think all those saved will be returned to France? Doubt it.
I know of cases where people doing it all legally from abroad, job available, paperwork done, visas applied for, etc were rejected.
So why should anyone trying to enter illegally be allowed to set foot here? They too, had the option of applying legally.
fnw – “Nobody wants to see anybody drown”
Apart from the crowds applauding ISIS dropping cages full of people into swimming pools.
The BBC: first with the breaking news you need to know.

Fake News? Shirley Williams’ memories of the 1975 EEC Referendum do not align with mine. ‘All about peace.’ No Shirley, it was all about Trade, Sovereignty, Law-making and Influence. On and by the way, Shirley, the Viet Nam war did not end in 1974, it ended during the EEC Referendum campaign, in April 1975.
Fake News? Mark Mardell claimed that that 1975 Referendum campaign was a bitterly fought one, with opponents knocking verbal chunks out of each other. I recall it was extremely civilised and think that the archive clip you posted, Mark, proved it.
So to answer the question: is there Fake News on the BBC?
Yes.
Fake, along with its companion, manufactured.
This one has the lot, from a classic question as a headline cover, and ‘quotes’.
Comments seem rather ‘problematic’.
Doesn’t seem like the BBC audience is convinced at all.

– You could not win the first three awards ..unless you are a Pakistani
– You could not win that Anisfield-Wolf award ..unless you write something making an “important contributions to the understanding of racism” (by which they probably mean conforming to groupthink, I’d guess few white male conservatives have ever won it.
Dual apologies in advance.
#1 If this has been on BBBC already and I missed it.
#2 To Guido, from whose site I have borrowed it.
The quality of MPs seems to have deteriorated.
The quality of female, Conservative MPs, seems to have fallen through the floor.
The BBC Cattle Correspondent is always good value, if a bit iffy on facts and logic.
#1 Does the debater address the issue of does he deflect with whataboutery ?
#2 ..and anyway his accusation doesn’t bear close scrutiny
.. The average Muslim is simply not living in day to day fear of death from “far right”
Nor probably any more likely to shouted out at, by nutters than the rest of us are.
#3 Is the BBC misrepresenting Javid anyway, cos previously he has mentioned the rape gangs
MH’s tweet is a bit bonkers
He argues cos X doesn’t lead to Y
..Then you are wrong to say A leads to B
The fallacy there : non-sequitur
+ He’s done misrepresentation and fallacy of false equivalence
+ Javid is oversimplifying at the start
MH is bonkers where are all the injured people from “right wing” terrorism.
There are probably more living victims like blinded or limbs lost due to animal rights terrorism.
Whereas Islamist terrorism is a whole different magnitude
..For British people there is a risk of being injured in Islamist terrorism when they go to London or a concert, or a European city or beaches like in Egypt or Tunisia
..vs nothing for far right attacks.
MH is being very disrespectful to victims of Islamist terror by playing it down, particularly those with life changing injuries who often forgotten as the dead are remembered.
I searched for proper stats ..ecen the HOC reposts don’t list the injured
The Wikipedia page does list initial injured say 512 for Manchester Arena, but doesn’t break that down into “life changing injuries”

5:35pm R4 Brexit ProjectFear : “Adrian Goldberg asks if he should get a German passport ?”

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all esteemed colleagues on this fine site!!
The time of year made me reflect on a blog I used to comment on years ago written by Dr. Laurie Roth, committed Christian, tae kwon do black belt, counsellor, radio talk show host, Trump supporter and musician/singer/songwriter.
I recall a story she told at a time when the insidious anti-Christian assault in the US was really arousing her ire as companies would instruct their workers never to mention Christmas and use the pathetic ‘happy holidays’ instead. So when she went to her supermarket she cheered the girl at the till up with a hearty “Merry Christmas.”
I just Googled her and was glad to see that she is still going strong.
Can’t link at the moment but anyone interested can Google Laurie Roth column.
