    ITV local news goes into more details on the Azeem Rafiq report
    #1Today it’s only the conclusions released, not the full report.

    #2 The investigation was not a full win for him
    It upheld 7 of his 40 complaints
    @AzeemRafiq30 was the victim of “racial harassment” and “bullying” during his time with the club. Although majority of allegations are not upheld due to “insufficient evidence.”

    #3 The conclusion was that the club could have done more to accommodate Muslims, but
    “The panels unanimous view was that is was
    unable to draw definitive wider conclusions on institutional racism at YCCC..based predominantly on the experiences of Azeem Rafiq.” “one individual”

    That they had touched on incidents with other individuals, but that there was still not enough evidence to draw conclusions to say there was institutional racism or not.

      Institutional racism is a readily accepted catchphrase that can be employed by anyone with a grudge whether well-founded or not because it’s bloody illegal now to object to the accusation.

      Muslims are taught that lying to achieve their objectives against the kaffir is not only allowed but encouraged means their is no real foundation for any perceived grievance whatsoever and the sooner we all realise that and take protective measures the better our future security depends on it.

    BBC Local news “Here we have 24 yo ..who says he will refuse a vaccine”
    … they get into it .. and say he has already had Covid

    FFS that is completely different from someone who’s never had it .

    Now an expert is arguing that “the lighter you had Covid, the lower your resistance ”
    hmmm not heard of people who had a light case and then got a second heavy case.

    The lad says antibody tests would be much better than just assuming someone is safe cos they have been double vaccinated.

        The MP ought to know that one of the ways you get medical experience is by getting sick. There’s nothing quite like ‘learning the hard way’.

      • StewGreen says:

        The MP basically retorted: Do you have “any medical qualifications?”

        That’s a character ATTACK to shut him up

        The small boy is expected to PAY for Emperor’s new suit
        So he’s entitled to have a SAY

        Argument depends on WHAT evidence he presents
        not WHO he is
        And in that tale the small boy had the truth, despite not being a qualified royal-tailor.

      The lefty powers that be are totally mesmerised by the COVID thing are they not? We see the president of the USA acting like a mafia godfather threatening citizens who don’t agree. Could it be that they see it as a way of hanging onto power?

      I think that is absolutely the case.

      Bring on the second revolution I will be there with my pitchfork and tundrel to take them to Madame guillotine

    I think the BBC is reaching a tipping point.

    They have to decide whether they want to inform and entertain their native peoples with a truthful stance as they used to or whether they want to crusade for a fake, artificial and myopic view of what they want Britain to be which is what they have been doing with vigour for the past several years.

    I believe the first option is the only way they can survive in the long run but I fear they are now so infested and so lost in their wokist blinkered mantra they will continue with the second to their bitter end.

    They have reached a stage where it only takes one offended employee to wag a finger at their previous output and it’s straight on the bonfire.

    So the BBC will eventually fall on its own sword.

    I will not be shedding any tears…

    “MI5: 31 late-stage terror plots foiled in four years in UK”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58512901
    Where did the plotters come from?
    I hope our Prime Minister and Home Secretary are aware of this ?
    For they have the safety and well being of the people of Great Britain in their hands as we watch the invasion of the Channel shores.

    “MP Nigel Adams filmed swearing at Mr Stop Brexit Steve Bray”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-58518526
    Can you blame him ?
    Evidence that Al Beeb are Anti-Brexit. They will not let it drop and are now ‘scraping the barrel’.
    The sooner the outfit was closed the better for all.

      “MP swears at man who spends his life harassing others using a megaphone”
      .. is NOT a news story

      Swearing at people is not illegal
      .. If you screamed at someone to deliberately to cause them distress that’s assault I guess
      But a court shouldn’t believe that Bray is not accustomed to people swearing at him ..so no harm was done.

        Yeah…you have to ask why wasn’t there a general cry for Bray to be arrested for threatening and intimidating behaviour as those who shout at people the BBC like, or employ, are?

        The price of being a politician. Poverty pay long hours poor pay, for many having to work away from home and family and harassment like this.

    9/11 anniversary: How the world reacted to terror attacks
    https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-58509703

    How can any report with this title be taken seriously if it does not also cover the jubilation in some Muslim countries ?. And apparently in some American states AND( I am 100% certain) in some parts of the UK.

    https://abcnews.go.com/US/video/abc-news-footage-shows-911-celebrations-35571201

    As usual, we get the standard mournful music while some Muslim’s talk about subsequent Islamophobia.

    Such omission makes the report a blatant agenda driven lie. It’s like talking about the Holocaust whilst avoiding blaming the Nazis.

    I wonder why the BBC has not the slightest interest in this example of US police brutality as a group of white officers gun down an unarmed black motorist in what seems like a targeted assassination…a bit of ethnic cleansing…..as Clive Myrie might say….

    Any wonder the police are a bit ‘trigger happy’?

    So on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 the BBC’s approach is to damn America.

    Justin Webb asks…

    ‘Is the American century over?’

    Whilst his colleagues pour scorn upon the Afghan war and America.

    John Simpson is an outlier…him having a lot vested in the war…being the self-proclaimed ‘Liberator of Kabul’. Last week he claimed that the war had been a great success and Afghanistan was infinitely better off now than 20 years ago…thanks no doubt to John Simpson. He was most upset that America had left…apparently Trump was only concerned with electoral advantage and the sainted Biden didn’t want to look like a ‘warmonger’….so no higher or more rational motives then? No idea that the majority of US voters wanted out [and Trump was elected on that promise] or that the standard US policy has always been to stand back until its own interests were threatened. Trump of course had long expressed the desire to leave as the video from 2012 [long before any idea that he’d run for President] showed saying the money and effort would be better spent on rebuilding America than on foreign countries….oddly the BBC is this morning parroting that very sentiment…of course making no mention of Trump….he was right then?

    FOOC told us the other week that the ressurection of the Taliban was the American’s fault…from way back in 2002….Americans caused tribalism and allowed warlords to operate and thus the Afghan people looked upon the Taliban as their saviours. Hmmm….Not sure that had anything to do with the Americans…that is Afghanistan. The Taliban came back because they came back….that is their whole reason for existence…to take over Afghanistan…with a little help from Pakistan and Iran.

    But no…the BBC has always got to portray everything as America’s fault…as they are doing this morning as they keep up a rolling critique that American stupidity, brutality and the mass murder of civilians in Afghanistan by American forces [the worst in history apparently] led to Afghans supporting the Taliban.

    Lyse Doucet had a cosy chat with Hamid Kharzai…always known to be less than honest about his relationship with the Taliban…as he told us that it was er, all the Americans’ fault…killing so many people…the Taliban only wanted peace. Doucet fed us the lines without any comment.

    The BBC narrative seems to be [Simpson aside] that it was all a great failure and America is to blame….probably not a narrative the Americans want to hear on 9/11.

    And as an aside somewhat astonished to keep reading that the Left supported these ‘neo-con wars’….no, no they didn’t…the BBC opposed them all…Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen and even Afghanistan which they accepted was legal but couldn’t bring themselves to write-up in any positive way.

    Norfolk family firm selling lorries due to driver shortage
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-58517215

    “…the firm advertised for a driver two months ago and has not received a single application.”

    Off course being the BBC, as usual, there’s no mention of the wage rate the firm was offering.

    John Simpson, Liberator of Kabul, seems to have changed his mind…a week ago he was claiming Afghanistan had been a great success bringing education, democracy, infrastructure, phones and a new hope….now…all change.

    Just heard him proclaim Osama Bin Laden the winner who got everything he wanted….along with a bullet in the head. Thus America is the loser….a great message to rub the Americans’ nose into on 9/11.

    Simpson says Bin Laden got the war he wanted and showed up the limits of American power…I was under the impression that we were being told this was the war that the Americans really wanted….from the BBC…The Power of Nightmares….Islamist terror is a myth and an illusion…

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/3755686.stm

    ‘Radical Islamists and American Neoconservatives seem to be at odds, but filmmaker Adam Curtis asserts that the two have more in common than one might think.

    Adam Curtis explores how the illusory threat of a hidden network of terror has come to dominate global politics.

    In the past our politicians offered us dreams of a better world. Now they promise to protect us from nightmares. The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares. In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion. It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media. ‘

    As for showing up the limits of American power…really? Thought Vietnam did that….however that’s not military power…the US, if it chose to, could obliterate anyone it wanted to…including the sandal wearing Islamist militias/guerillas/terrorists….but only if they also took out the BBC and CNN at the same time. The biggest enemy isn’t the AK wielding terrorists but the liberal media militias that wield their own weapons of mass destruction and distortion.

    The only limit was on America’s power to bring democracy and all that entails in building a modern state to a people that didn’t really want it and never had the society, infrastructure and desire to embrace progress. Post WW2 Germany and Japan werre already very developed nations with populations already ‘trained’ to accept progress and only had to be rebuilt…the builders didn’t have to start from ground zero.

    Ultimately the real problem is Islam…if you went to an African ‘shithole’, non-Islamic, and tried to build it into a modern, democratic state you would have a better chance. Perhaps we should have invaded the Congo instead…lots of vital resources there….and no need for them to migrate here…we go there!
