How will the Far Left anti British BBC greet the birth of a new State – The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ? As the BBC is largely supportive of all things Muslim – or ignores – at best – crimes committed in the name of Islam – it may welcome it as a new friend .
Current affairs programmes will greet taliban spokesmen with due regard – unlike – of course – anyone from a disapproved political view . Further – will the BBC continue to give overwhelming support to Joe Biden – who is responsible for the current turmoil ?

Climate change: Greta Thunberg accuses UK of ‘lying’ about climate credentials
The first child-focused climate risk index report, which assesses where children are most at risk from climate change, ranks Britain 17th out of 20 countries. Geta Thunberg says the report shows the UK is not a ‘climate leader’.

Beijing has long feared Afghanistan could become a staging point for minority Uyghur separatists in the sensitive border region of Xinjiang.
But a top-level Taliban delegation met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Tianjin last month, promising that Afghanistan would not be used as a base for militants.
In exchange, China offered economic support and investment for Afghanistan’s reconstruction.

BBC local radio news, is still doing this weird weekend thing
whereby instead of having a news report for the local station
you get one which includes 3 or 4 stations
8am item #3 was nothing to do with Hull
It was dropped from the 9am news, but back at 10am and 11am. 1pm (slightly different intros)
Bottomline BBC mates have a demo, and this news item was about promoting it.
Can you image a news item beginning like this ?
“It is claimed that not enough is being done to Free US from Lockdown rules in parts of Yorkshire
.. there’s a demonstration later”
or
“It is claimed that not enough is being done to tackle GROOMING GANGS in parts of Yorkshire
.. there’s a demonstration later”
When there are such demonstrations, they are not promoted by the BBC in news bulletins like Climate Change or BLM demos are

Extinction Rebellion have received support from some public figures, such as the actress Emma Thompson, politicians Diane Abbott and Caroline Lucas and the band Radiohead.
However, their actions have been criticised by others including the Prime Minister who called their recent blockades at two UK printworks owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, ‘unacceptable.’

BBC Online News:
“Covid: CO2 monitors pledged to aid school ventilation”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-58285359
How utterly pointless. (My words, not the BBC).
300,000 carbon dioxide monitors are to be made available to schools in England next term to help improve ventilation and lessen Covid outbreaks.
COST?
CHINA MAKING THEM OR THE TALIBAN?
“Sadly, Gavin Williamson failed to get on the front-foot over the summer but the initial investment of £25m in CO2 monitors is welcome now and will start to make a difference. It is vital, though, that government must also commit to supporting schools to address any ventilation problems identified by these monitors.”
I wonder if the government will ensure any new school build will have appropriate ventilation? Put it in when you build it and the cost is a fraction of amendments later.
Or will the bureaucracy trail (DfE, ESFC, tendering process, actual builder, and only then school) ensure such ideas will be put firmly in the ‘too difficult and more than my job’s worth’ file.
These monitors are nothing more than ammunition for the crazed climate bonkers crew. They will achieve absolutely nothing but will be a valuable ongoing prop for all the screwballs pushing this fantasy. Once they are in place they can be use to generate lies and fabrication by inventing statistics to spew to the media. That’s all they are about!
Rather like the pingdemic weapon used by the COVID nutters.
Mark my words and wait for the deluge of Armageddon crap dangerous school environment crap spewing out in a few months time.
Maybe the the teachers should read this to the kids!

A warning for those escaping Afghanistan …
Ahmadis suffer vicious persecution around the world. The main source of fuel for that persecution is in Pakistan, but what happens in Pakistan does not stay in Pakistan.
I know that from my experience in the Yorkshire market town of Batley. In August 1985, when I was 11 years old, my parents organised an inter-faith meeting in the town hall. It was interrupted and disturbed when, according to West Yorkshire police, more than 1,000 extremists, led by Pakistani hate preachers funded by the Pakistani state, were bused in from around the country. The mob brutally attacked my English mother and my father, a dermatologist; my eldest brother and I; and a Welsh Ahmadi schoolteacher who was with us. My first cousin, a GP, was by chance driving through the market town that day. He saw the mob and saw his family and friends being attacked, so he stopped. He was recognised, pulled from his vehicle and savagely beaten up.

Dear Winston Smith from the Memory Hole Department,
Legal definition of genocide
————————————-
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part1
; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and]
forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
**imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group**
They (Anti-natalists) believe humans shouldn’t have children. Who are the anti-natalists – and how far are they willing to push their ideas? {bbc.co.uk 13aug2019}

BBC On Anti-natalists:They (Anti-natalists) believe humans shouldn’t have children.

Seems your article might want to mention the UN definition of genocide and also mention it to the Anti-natalists.

How climate change helped strengthen the Taliban
BY CARA KORTE
AUGUST 20, 2021 / 12:02 PM / CBS NEWS
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/climate-change-taliban-strengthen/
Rural Afghanistan has been rocked by climate change. The past three decades have brought floods and drought that have destroyed crops and left people hungry. And the Taliban — likely without knowing climate change was the cause — has taken advantage of that pain.
How come the same Global Warming didn’t devastate the Taliban’s poppy crop ?
‘Rocked by climate change’? Though that only happened to Muslim women as a punishment in Afghanistan?
To stop terrorism the BBC should stop talking about the Taliban?
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has come under fire from opposition MPs after telling parliament that the US “martyred” Osama Bin Laden.
Bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, was killed in 2011 when US special forces raided his hideout in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad.
Pakistan was not informed in advance.
“I will never forget how we Pakistanis were embarrassed when the Americans came into Abbottabad and killed Osama Bin Laden, martyred him,” Khan said.

Match of the Day host Gary Lineker remains the BBC’s top earner, despite having agreed to a pay cut of just under £400,000. The BBC’s annual report revealed Lineker earned £1.36m in the 2020/21 financial year, down from £1.75m in 2019/20.6 Jul 2021
Lineker is not technically the highest paid
People like Graeme Norton are paid more, but they are paid through BBC studios
so the salary payments are secret.
ROLE?
One of the biggest crisp brands in the UK and Ireland. The former Three Lions forward has been the face of its adverts since 1995. Recent reports have indicated that Lineker earns an impressive £1.5m per year from this role.11 Jun 2021
Kneel and clap on Thursdays to end the Afghanistan invasion.
The invasion has been continuing all day .. Boat after boat hour after hour documented by the brave few : and not the BBC of course. Still going on and covered live as I type.
So many have come in today they have lost count .. Many hundreds at least
.. And the Afghan influx via Dover has not even begun yet .
I take my hat off to the brave few watchers who document this.

Yet another example of the warped and twisted anti-western viewpoint of the the liberal-left ruling class.
Monday is homosexual drama night on BBC4
First a film about two older men falling in love.
Then three contemporary monologues.
Work? Uh huh.
Next up in the BBC’s world of work.
Lollipop ladies and men (you only start work when you’re 65)
Omerammagau passion play programme seller (only work once every 10 years)
Or, as per Sid James in Carry on Doctor, Hansom Cab lampfitter.
Were all off the see a netball match. I think it’s the main event on
BBC TV this evening.
Presumably within the Cradle of Propaganda that is the bbc, this will be a ‘mostly necessary’ wall?
Versus the other sort.

BBC news.
A double murder in London.
The police are on the hunt for a 49 year old man.
They show a photo and name him. Lee Peacock.
He is white.
Readers will notice that the police and BBC have a rather different approach when the suspects are ….errr……more representative of our more diverse and vibrant communities. In those cases, ‘a man’ is famously about all you get.
Well, though IUPG, it is pretty clear, present and urgent.
But while not on the same level there are images of a bearded young man in a flowing white gown strolling in front of a double decker circulating.
Seems a person of interest after a faith based attack.
But unlikely to be deemed news by the girls in the cubicle gardens, yes.
The 2019 Facebook Post saying that hotel had dangerous windows.
That guest has a Muslim name
The hotel is an Indian brand
and the people he names seem to be British Indian operators.
“Anjum and Che Lindsay”
Local BBC news was billed as 10 mins but we only got 6 mins
And most of that was Hull Rugby
and the a Grimsby Paralympic woman they wanted to promote.
ITV local news, 2 second mention of hotel window boy
and then a Labour MP saying we should bring in yo UK everyone who “needs” to be out of Afghanistan.

Looks like the World Cup is in an urgent need of taking the knee.
What will happen in the year 2525 if man is still alive when there is a world shortage of CO2? All because the loons around the world listen to autistic non schoolgirls and so called conservationists who used to bring animals from the wild to London Zoo. My apologies to Zager and Evans.
Anderson – being a barrister ( no heart or morality ) has a large family and needs the income from public appearance for his ‘lifestyle ‘- hence he must be lefter than left to keep his position against the tidal wave of Muslim /coloured wimmin busily taking over the BBC .

BBC4 now “Our Coast” with Adrian Chiles and Mehreen Baig
Mehreen gained her name through appearing in the reality show “Muslims Like Us”
The BBC ashamed that it ever employed white men like Nick Crane
and a white man like Neil Oliver who isn’t even a lefty
Chiles ends “To find out more about the rising sea level and growing plastic pollution, see the Open University website”
followed by the BBC Solutions for a Better Planet trailer.
I switch to commercial channel
After a while an ad break comes up
“We are the first generation to know we are destroying our planet
.. text WWF and send us all your money”
…parasites.
I noticed that line. And it’s not true. I was one of the first eco ranters back in 1970. There’s been a couple of generations since then.
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson – required reading by O-Level General Studies students in the 1960s by the BBC not yet ‘onboard’.
October1974 saw the BBC pushing ‘global cooling’ with Nigel Calder’s The Weather Machine. Happy Days.
“We are the first generation to know we are destroying our planet”. Bollocks.
My daughters use far more fossil-fuel generated electricity and hot water, use far more petroleum -based beauty and hygiene products, use more single-use plastics, especially in fast foods and snacks, require more fossil-fuel heating in the house and more fossil fuel vehicle transport, buy more clothes from further afield, that then of course have to be washed and in our climate mostly tumble-dried, and waste more food that is shipped to them from all around the world, wrapped in ever increasing amounts of packaging, than my generation, or any of those before me, ever did. And will they give any of it up? Will they Jack.
They don’t realise that using bamboo straws won’t cancel out the plastic bottle you stick it in, rabbit-friendly deodorant doesn’t make the gallons of shampoo and conditioner going down the plug-hole every day ok, and being a vegan benefits no-one, including the vegan themselves, especially when all of the food eaten has to be flown in from thousands of miles away.
I love them dearly, but the generations of my three teenage daughters and their friends, and of those currently aged between 20 and around 35, contain some of the most privileged, indulged, stupid, humourless and emotionally immature individuals this country has produced. Not only do so many of them lack any self awareness, they are in the main the most hypocritically wasteful generation our nation has yet seen.
Tell me about it….my authored series for BBC TWO was a hit by any standards. The bbc 2 average viewer numbers were 1.9 million at the time. I got around 2.7 million per show.
They’d be ecstatic with that now!
I’ve suggested all sorts of show ideas about all sorts of stuff since. No chance.
From 2018 showing the changing faces of the BBC
Mehreen is patriotic
British Asian? 0% British?
Unbelievable.
We’re watching ‘Our Coast’ on BBC2.
It features that bastion of multicultural diversity……..errrrrr……Anglesea in North Wales.
They visit a place called Newborough Warren.
And it just so happens on a week away from the Socialist Republic of Londonistan we visited this very place about 6 weeks ago. So we are rather familiar with it and its typical visitors, hence our interest.
So…..guess the ethnicity of the presenter.
A local ?
White?
Welsh?
Don’t be silly. Afro-Caribbean. Obviously. It’s the BBC.
And there’s more. After a few minutes of presenting from token brummie Adrian Chiles, we get ………the one-armed female weather presenter, and the photographer is very keen to show that she has a missing hand. Got that. Missing hand. OK?
In all the time I was on Anglesea, how silly of me not to notice that two thirds of the island population are either BAME or disabled.
But in the pathetic bastardisation of reality that is BBC lalaland, ticking boxes is literally all that counts.
Now it is the anti-single-use plastic paddle board warrior
On her paddleboard … made of plastic
“micro-plastic breaking down is frightening”
Er it isn’t ..The eco-system is still mostly OK
just as it is with microparticles of stone and pollen etc..
Chiles is on the beach with twin children for emotional blackmail purposes.
Lot’s of activist lines coming out..as he preaches
“It’s got to stop !”
African slaves were also eaten, at least that’s what a number of European visitors to West Africa recorded, well into the 19th Century. Black slaves were apparently often very keen to be sold to European traders so they wouldn’t be eaten…. by other black Africans.
What kind of nonsense is this: ” the slavery that was later introduced by British and Arabs”.
The British weren’t the first Europeans to purchase black slaves in Africa, that honour goes to the Portuguese, who were followed by the Spanish, and then the Friench, with the English (not yet British) a belated fourth to arrive on the scene, probably during the last years of the reign of Henry VIII. If you read any of the firsthand accounts, we clearly weren’t very effective slavers at the time, but the Spanish and the Portuguese did attempt to ban us from muscling in on their monolpoly anyway. The British slavers of the time were really small time smugglers, attempting to run the Spanish Atlantic patrols in small, fast moving ships to sell their ‘black gold’ to the Spanish settlers in the Americas (who risked hanging if caught buying from British smugglers – clearly there was far more demand for slaves than supply).
The British didn’t get into the Atlantic slave trade in any significant scale until the settlement of the US really started to take off – so mid 17th Century? By which time the Portuguese had been shipping African slaves to the Americas on a large scale for well over a century and a half
As for the Muslims, they began trading in African slaves around 800 AD and were still doing it at the turn of the 20th Century… until stopped by the British… they treated black slaves appallingly, many of the boys were castrated, which killed a greater percentage than survived. At least according to Victorian British witnesses, who were horrified by the scale and brutality of the Arab East Coast and Saharan trade.
Yuhuh.
No wonder the bbc has dug him up.
So the bBbc are seeking the wisdom and advice on all things Islam from Mehdi once more?
Perhaps while they’re at it they could ask him if he knows where the West Midlands police might find some of his “brothers” they’re currently looking for, surprisingly pictured and named by bBbc Brum.

Homophobic Muslims. Who knew?
Gay white men with a drop of drink in them, vulnerable and frightened young white girls, their own physically and mentally abused wives, daughters and sisters, lone young white men bundled into the back of cars, unsuspecting benefactors naively and kindly offering them a helping hand, and lone Jewish men and boys caught unaware. Always in packs or heavily armed, always premeditated.
They prey on the compromised and the weak, they’re despicable and cowardly scum, they contribute nothing, absolutely nothing whatsoever of value to British society.
Indeed. Is there a chippy weasel of faith who flounced to the States, failed and now crawls back who they won’t accord market rate status?
Seen this ‘since 9/11’ before ….
Yet the numbers don’t lie — even if the Islamophobes do. “Since September 12, 2001,” noted a recent report prepared for Congress by the Government Accountability Office, “the number of fatalities caused by domestic violent extremists has ranged from 1 to 49 in a given year. … Fatalities resulting from attacks by far-right wing violent extremists have exceeded those caused by radical Islamist violent extremists in 10 of the 15 years, and were the same in 3 of the years since September 12, 2001” Imagine that.! {theintercept.com 31may2017}
– This story shows how to make data not seem as bad by grouping and looking for a story that fits your point of view.
– Please look at the data and decide yourself. I suggest you look at it and think of what trend you would determine, then read Mehdi Hasan interpretation.
– 106 vs 119 killings
– During the September 11 attacks in 2001, 2,996 people were killed and more than 6,000 others wounded, which is missing from the graph because it is since 9/11.

Marianna is so on this.
Just checked the twitter of the guy who wrote that ‘fact check’ (the founder of snopes):
A long list of exclusively pro-Left/anti-Trump ‘facts’ checked and universally found to be the ‘pro-Left’ conclusion. Like every snopes checker I have followed up.
Perhaps they can check this: ‘The vast majority of snopes fact-checks are only published when the result fits the agenda of the Left’
He has a fixation with defending Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for some reason.

Plymouth shooting: Woman shot by husband wants gun law change
In case you’re wondering, the ‘woman shot by husband’ (who wants ‘gun law change’) has absolutely nothing to do with the Plymouth shootings… the connection apparently being that she was also shot…
Yes, very sad this lady got shot, her husband was a complete thug, and tragic their son killed himself too, it’s a horrific story, I feel very sorry for her.
HOWEVER, demanding no one in the UK is allowed to own a gun, and keep it in their own home, sounds like a complete knee jerk over reaction to me. Understandable in this lady’s case, but the BBC are just jumping on a passing bandwagon to push their own agenda (again).
The vast majority of gun owners in this country are country dwellers who keep shotguns, for shooting pigeons, rabbits, rats, and the like, or sportsmen who go grouse or pheasant shooting for a couple of weekends a year.
Many are farmers, or connected with farming, and need a shotgun for controlling ‘vermin’ like rabbits, rats and pigeons to protect their crops and keep these pests in check. Sportsmen who shoot a few brace of gamebirds pay a fair price for the pleasure, and in the process help support rural communities, a traditional way of life, and the countryside (would be very few stands of trees, or woods in many parts of the UK without the local ‘shoot’).
Brother
Every so often someone wants to take my shotguns away . Its a ‘ hostile environment ‘ . By the way – if any one knows of a rough shoot in the SE of england id like to apply to join – i m house trained and everything..,
Usually the beeb hang on Blair’s every word, so it’s odd they’re not reporting his word for Biden: imbecilic.
The Channel invasion is becoming so frequent that Al Beeb is not covering it anymore.
How many terrorists have already arrived ? There is no excuse , Boris and Priti should hang their heads in shame .
I like this chap! He certainly knows his history and has a good understanding of modern politics.
Perhaps the BBC will have him back on to air his views just like they have Medhi? (joke)
He is absolutely right. I hope that our MPs see this ?
Historical truth and perspective – thank you Neil.
Spot on, TheI.
I always like Neil Oliver’s comments, our bottler and his rollo-over Home Sec need to listen to him properly.
Yes – he does a ‘letter from the UK’ – something which could never be allowed on the BBC now , at least the Afgee disaster has distracted from the Chinese virus – coloured people mattering or the latest madness about men being nasty ….
It’s tricky for the false president s’ carers now – if they keep him in the bunker he will be accused of hiding ( which he is ) but if they put him in front of the public or press ( however pro ) he will still show himself to be mentally ill .
In the run up to the final pull out – which could be next weekend – the scenes will get worse and I reckon hostages will be taken –
What does Biden and nut nut do then ?
I watched an excellent video last night that he did with Seb Gorka.
‘Us and them,
and after all, we’re only ordinary men’
