    I listened to Any Questions this evening. Stacked audience, as per usual, hostile to HMG, even Peter – ‘so-called Far Right’ – Hitchens was applauded and cheered for his anti-HMG answers. He did make some good points on illegal migrants and Priti’s Pushback Plan.

    The Labour Shadow Secretary to the Treasury was deceitful as was Ed Davey. Andrea Jenkyns MP (Con) was courageous and did quite a good job but received little support from Chris Mason.

    Am guessing the BBC are still smarting at Boris’ clever little tax grab for the NHS and Social Care. The Beeboids thought they were going to get away without any pain …..

    ……… or payin’.

    With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 tomorrow, I wonder if the BBC will be showing the scenes of Palestinians celebrating the deaths of nearly 3000 men, women and children? Maybe they’ll put on that disgraceful Question Time where the usual lefty mob harangued the American Ambassador shortly afterwards. Apparently the Yanks deserved it!

    Not BBC but they would surely applaud Channel 4’s output today.

    I started to watch ‘The Great House Giveaway’ with is normally presented by a Scouse bloke who used to be in Brookside. Today it was a new black guy presenting a black couple doing the renovation. Then ‘Come Dine With Me’ featuring five people cooking a three course meal for each other, again all black people. Lastly I flicked over to ‘Kirstie & Phil -Love it or list it’ and it was two black presenters with a black couple, no Kirstie or Phil. I feel as if I’m living in Nigeria!!

    Ah, just got an ad break and it’s actually called ‘Scarlette & Stuart’s Love it or leave it’. not that my TV guide told me that.

    All these programs were first broadcast today.

No mention was made that the advertising world reflected more than their 3% presence – more like 50%, but then they wouldn’t would they ?

    Listening to LBC yesterday Nick Ferrari, I found myself agreeing with someone attacking the BBC for its bias and then finding out afterwards it was a BBC radio 2 presenter (still employed). Paul Gambaccini. It was weird as he was protesting at Cressida Dicks planned re-employment for another two years as Head of Police. In particular himself being thrown to the Lions by the BBC who also attacked Cliff Richard privacy (and gained unique access to Police operations, and the attack on Harvey Proctor (who has to prove himself innocent), and bundled in with this was an accusation that Paul Gambaccini was ‘up there’ with paedophiles.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9975685/Paul-Gambaccini-accuses-former-employer-complicity-child-sex-abuse-witch-hunt.html

    This operation was overseen by Cressida Dick of met Police who failed to find any evidence (and the BBC involvement – previously- they has to recompense Cliff Richard in the courts), but as all charges were later dropped by the Police. Harvey Proctor and Paul Gambercino (bundled in with other high profile members of government) had to fight it out in the free press and protest and prove innocence. No support from the BBC, even though they claim to support (and sponsor LGBTQXYZ) and yet claim Jimmy Saville ‘never actually worked for us’ at (BBC) the time of another investigation. Clearly false at the time of Saville as everyone in the BBC knew.. But its a follow on investigation by the Police because it came from a high profile Labour MP and a Police claim ‘it was from credible source’ now totally discredited as a fantasist.

    ‘Nick’ – aka Carl Beech was the Police ‘informer’ claiming paedophiles stretched right into the heart of government. The Police were claiming high profile names will be arrested (but evidence was found to be thin).

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9971255/Victims-Met-Police-corruption-incompetence-malpractice-tell-Boris-ditch-Cressida-Dick.html

    Anyway I must say, Gambaccini has a good point that the BBC pointed the finger, never offered to help and was in coo hoots with Cressida Dick on what was campaign to expose paedophilia and sexual abuse by a secret Police informer that turned out to be a hoax.

    Parts of it may be true, of course, but the main point is the BBC protects those (guilty) and gives no protection to other ‘expendables’ like Paul Gambaccini who had to prove his innocence, and now is lucky to get his job back at the BBC. He is a very good presenter, there are so very few left in the BBC. Wrong age, wrong views and they may push him out still.

    I am surprising myself, he deserves a big apology from the BBC.

    And as for Cressida Dick, she should be removed by the Police herself.
    Why she is totally hated by the Police force (according to retired officers) that I heard on LBC complaining about her two year extension, and how ‘woke’ she was.

    I really learnt something on the Londonistan programme
    on the BBC this evening. Yes I know the programme is not
    supposed to be for the likes of me, an indigenous Londoner.
    There are over a million Muslims in the capitol and they need
    to be told by the women from the Muslim Council that 9-11
    bombers were not Muslims. They only said they were Muslims.
    So it looks like once again BIG BROTHER from the diversity
    department has control of the events that caused collateral
    damage in New York on September 11th 2001. He, she or
    it. May organize another ” Question Time” where 20 years ago .
    He she or it., managed to ” arrange ” an audience whom if
    not all Shamina Begum lookalikes, were the 50%
    anarchist Marxists he , she or it regularly bring in to do
    BIG BROTHERS bidding. To the point of 20 years ago the
    American ambassador was almost in tears at the attitude of one of
    the panellists and half the audience who were inferring that
    the 3000, all but deserved to die.

    MI5: 31 late-stage terror plots foiled in four years in UK
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58512901

    He said they were largely Islamic extremist plots, but a “growing number” were planned by right-wing terrorists.

    There we go again : the far-right narrative given the prominent role in the sentence to give it roughly equal parity with the Islamic ones. A ‘growing number’ could be 1 instead of none.

    And how many plots were foiled before they got to ‘late stage’ ?. I bet it’s hundreds if not thousands.

    The problem with Muslim terrorism in this country is that we aren’t told anything about it until it can’t be kept quiet eg. after a conviction or a pile of bodies. We now live in an age of massive news suppression to cover up the consequences of ‘diversity’.

      John, I couldn’t post a TOADY Watch yesterday, but it was noticeable that Mishal asked about ‘right-wing’ terror plots but did not ask how many of the 31 foiled plots were ‘right-wing’. You are quite correct that 0 could have grown to 1.

      And what is defined by ‘right-wing’? Mishal did not ask about that either. Is it the Militant Tendency of the local Womens’ Institute or ‘White Supremacists’ or even other Islamists who decide to ‘attack’ a special Left-Wing or Socialist policy or people group?

    I have my sick-bag ready for the 9/11 pantomime we will get from the USA while they awkwardly ignore the huge elephant in the room which is how many deaths Joe just caused in his desperation to have all Americans out of there before his speech today.

    I am wondering:

    Will Joe stare at the teleprompter with those dead-eyes for long pauses in an attempt to pretend he is overcome with emotion ?.

    How many times will Joe stumble and slur or look like he forgot what he was talking about ?.

    Will they try to rub some of the sympathy-vote on Harris by letting her actually speak ?. And if she does, will she fake her voice breaking up with emotion ?.

    After the simply amazing charade of the Capitol Riot ‘equiry’, absolutely nothing is off the table. They have taken lies and hypocrisy to a level I never imagined I would see from a Western government.

    But one thing is absolutely certain : the BBC will dress it up as much as they can and squeeze out as much PR promotion for Joe as possible. I wonder if they will have the ‘However …’ paragraph halfway down like they always did for Trump.

      John,

      It is apparent to me that the abandonment of ‘democracy’ by the West is a concerted, collective effort. Every day they ignore the history and ways of doing things. We see the likes of the false President and Bumbler here, ignoring doing things ‘right’. Its as if they feel they are all on the ‘home run’ now and can afford to make that little more bit of effort to prove their allegiance to Beijing and its policies. After all, they all agree that China will be the dominant leader shortly. They’re all vying for the, ‘Look at me Beijing, look how I am conforming to your own style of dictatorship. How good am I’.

        The GB News interviewee above obviously doesn’t watch the BBC, where, far from being vilified, Muslims are massively pandered to.

        But why does GB News allow him to trot out the lies that the ‘biggest danger is right-wing radicalisation’ and ‘they are the biggest threat’.

        Funny, I don’t remember right-wing groups blowing up tall buildings, tube trains, concert arenas, or slitting soldiers throats, driving into crowds and stabbing them. Or mass raping thousands of young girls.

        But there’s an upside according to this ‘Equalities Lawyer’ – i.e. trained liar.

        “The positive is that it’s brought more young muslims closer to their faith… aware of their rights… how to combat this sort of thing…”

        In other words, more radical!

    2 shows by black males
    A show on ‘building Queertopia’
    And Tony.

    I remain amazed at how the BBC can claim they are not racist and not sexist. This must come under ‘positive discrimination’ which is all of those things against white males. It’s the most ridiculous hypocrisy.

    The BBC’s top online news headline refers to our burbling Boris and his reassurances that 9/11 islamic terrorism failed. Failed? Remind me who’s now running Afghanistan?

    In a message to mark the 20th anniversary, the PM said that while the terror threat remained, people refused “to live in permanent fear”‘ – Oh the irony… ‘PM to warn of tougher Covid rules‘ (‘i’)

    Face masks will be back if virus cases surge in autumn‘ (Telegraph) – cases not hospitalisations or deaths, mind you.

    Boris is decidedly a baldfaced bluffer, but look up the dictionary definition of platitude and you’ll notice Sir Keir Starmer’s 9/11 aniversary remarks repeated, practically, every hollow and bland word, for hollow and bland word.

    I reckon we’ve reached the stage now with the absolute guff our politicians spout that rather than express surprise at the contradictions they expect us to swallow we ought instead to simply admire their shiny brass necks.

    PM also has contingency plans to extend lockdown legislation, although No 10 prefers “guidance”‘ – and the ‘i’ newspaper appears to actually relish the part it plays in delivering the message of the interminable project lurgy fear.

    Meanwhile, having gone after our kids with a needle and demanded you show your papers to a stormtrooper on entering a place of entertainment – like something out of Babylon Berlin – Tory ministers now debate with themselves whether to give big pharma another booster this winter whilst the former squatter in No 10, Gordon Brown, prefers to prioritise jab exports – presumably heavily subsidised to the tune of giving jabs away free to all and sundry foreigners – I thought that’s what our NHS was busily already up to.

    Council Tax rise to pay for social care‘ – claims the Telegraph. Forgive my ignorance here but I’m still somewhat in the dark as to what this wonderful thing that politicians and the media like to term “social care” actually means. I know it is massively expensive – apparently. It sounds like a good thing we should all aspire to have. It combines the lovely word “care” and the lefty utopian “social” and has something to do with older people. Does it imply every pensioner gets a live-in carer employed by the State, or every OAP gets to live in an old folks institution? We know of course the so-called Conservative Party has forgotten the role family plays in society.

    One thing is for sure – social care is going to be claimed as the reason for every tax rise on the horizon – or coming down the pike – as our American friends might put it. Think of it as the reverse mirror image Tory rival to Labour’s celebrated former Corporation Tax rise proposal wheeze.

    Whereas Labour claimed their pet tax hike would pay for their every new spending pledge, the Tories now claim their every tax hike pays for that one spending pledge.

    The mayor of Calais has questioned whether Britain will begin shooting at migrant boats‘ (Telegraph) – yes, certainly, and with a cannon that shoots free food, clothing and housing, maybe. Think of it as Priti Patel firing an enormous heavy calibre cross channel benefits bazooka.

    Schoolgirl to superstar in 73 days‘ – shouts the Telegraph. No, not: ‘Ms Giuffre, 38, accuses the Duke of raping her as a teenager, which he denies‘ – this is another innocent sporting youngster with an unusual surname, Emma Raducanu.

    Gosh but our Emma has suddenly scored love all with the media.

    Well, the former emblematic English sport of cricket is a wash out: ‘The Indian cricket team was last night preparing to fly out of Manchester for the IPL, leaving Englsh cricket facing a £40 million finacial black hole… The India players sent a letter to their board… saying they would not play the game over concerns about Covid…‘ (Telegarph) – there’s an Indian Varient for you.

    We’re already over-burdoned with irony today but I do wish Delta Airlines flew the Manchester to Dehli route. The comedic irony surpasses satire: ‘…they were worried about getting stuck in Britain‘ – rather than claiming to be Afghans and donning life jackets perhaps our Channel migrants might make themselves even more welcome should they consider assuming Indian nationality and getting padded up to open the batting at Old Trafford.

    Meanwhile Prince Andrew may or may not be deserving of punishment for past sins but one can’t help wondering why it is that of all the wealthy corporate and political chums of Jeffrey Epstein’s international wide circle, how come: ‘One has been served‘ – as The Sun puns the delivery of his legal writ?

    Fauci never lies? CNN, NYT, WaPo & other MSM outlets IGNORE report showing US funded
    coronavirus research in Wuhan before pandemic

    Everyone at BBBC is presumably au fait with the lying “Fact Checkers”.

    I believe a new Checker is required, an Omission checker.

    Emails demonstrate that the virus which escaped (or was deliberately released) from Wuhan
    was engineered, Gain of Function.

    Krystian Anderson emailed Fauci stating that he and three other experts agreed on the origin.
    Fauci and other “experts” leaned on Anderson, who, four days later, produced another report stating that
    “The virus was definitely bat based, and the idea that it was created in a laboratory was crazy”
    (from memory so not verbatim}.

    Hopefully Fauci, who is responsible for millions of deaths, will be sent to be prison where he
    can be kicked to death.

    I cannot find this on the BBC, I have to go to Russia Today, to find the truth about what should be headlines around the globe.

        Those comments and the vast majority of those I saw on the DT forums before the referendum sum up the Left perfectly.

        Nasty, intolerant, spiteful children full of hate.

        Presumably because they ARE children still at school. Or adults who never grew out of it.

    “We also witnessed the dark forces of human nature. Fear and anger. Resentment and violence against Muslim-Americans — true and faithful followers of a peaceful religion,” Biden said in a prerecorded video published for the occasion.

        I learned everything I need to know working as a subcontractor at Rolls Royce in Derby 20 years ago in an office of about 30 where half were Muslim.

        I never met a more racist set of people. They all sat together in their own ‘half’ and didn’t mix with anybody. They spoke their own language most of the time and hated the one Indian guy who sat with us with a passion.

        They were screwing the company for everything they could get. But they were bulletproof and they knew it. The turnover of staff in such a place was very large and on the nights out for people leaving (in their red velvet jackets) they were the most ignorant, aggressive womanisers I have ever seen.

        I have not seen anything since to give me cause to change my opinion.

    Less than a couple of weeks ago the BBC was reporting that the Met Office was claiming that this summer was one of the 10 hottest summers ever. To be fair, they didn’t make too much of it, probably because even they couldn’t believe it, or think they could sell it to the great viewing public.

    However there was a lot of spluttering at breakfast this morning. Eon had written to Mr D to inform us that they were very sorry (well they didn’t exactly say that) but they were having to put electric prices up – and one of their reasons was the recent cold weather.

    Either the BBC or EON are being economical with the truth – or more likely they both were.

    So that’s alright then.

    The EU doesn’t want ‘ever closer union’, even though it is implied in the name and forms the first clause of its foundational treaty; Muslims haven’t declared war on the world even though that is a core declaration of Islam. Why are Western ‘liberals’ so blind?

      So many easy trip ups though because if he believes in unity – which is the correct way, he cannot believe in diversity because the two are polar opposites. With unity we stand with diversity we fall.

      So many contradictions and easy trip ups over these lies about Islam being a religion of peace as well, not that anyone is going to be able to question him about them.

        We shall not resume our anniversary observances today. The war is lost, at home and abroad. On the domestic front, we doubled the rate of Muslim immigration to the west and began assimilating ourselves with Islam’s strictures on freedom of expression and the like. The decade-and-a-half since the Danish Mohammed cartoons has been one long remorseless surrender on core western liberties. When a school teacher gets beheaded in the street, there is no outrage at the act, just a mild regret that he should have been foolish enough to provoke his own fate. Even the milder jests from the immediate post-9/11 era – the cartoon of the woman trying on new burqas in the changing room and wondering, “Does my bomb look big in this?” – would not be published today:

        In the broader society, our rulers quickly determined that it was easier to punish us than our enemies. The post-9/11 security state surely helped soften up western populations for the Chi-Com-19 lockdowns, in which entire nations have been reduced to TSA-administered airports.

    This isn’t to say, of course, that Muslims, mosques and halal food are not all welcome in Britain—diversity makes us richer. But law is another matter. Reconciling any two legal frameworks within a single country is problematic; and sharia remains particularly incompatible with the Judaeo-Christian tradition our own legal system has been built on. In his new book, Reimagining Britain, Welby writes:


    “Accepting it (sharia) in part implies accepting its values around the nature of the human person, attitudes to outsiders, the revelation of God, and a basis for life in law, rather than grace, the formative word of Christian culture”

    Oh dear! Der Starmer has just launched his alternative to Rishi’s & Bojo’s fair to all plan to raise more money for the NHS and Social Care. I guess Sir Keir and Annaliese worked out their plan using Diane’s ‘Abbotocus’ because I foresee trouble ahead.

    Der Starmer and his Party’s alternative is to tax private Landlords. That appears to let off Local Authorities and the Charitable sector. That leaves large private landlords, who may have incorporated themselves, and the small private landlord. It probably also includes in that latter category some Care Home providers. The first of many Ooooops!

    The next question is, if it is a really small private landlord ie. one or two rented properties that bears that tax, what legislation will the Labour Party introduce to stop that landlord evicting his tenants and selling up? Another Oooooops!: I can see the headlines now – ‘Labour makes thousands homeless’.

    Then there is the question what rule will stop the Landlord passing on the cost of Labours H&SC tax to their tenants? That could hit young people, most of all, very hard. Yet another Oooooops!

    Finally, the Conservatives progressive taxation plan (I guess it was Rishi’s idea, don’t think Bojo is sharp enough to come up with it) produces billions – immediately – for the NHS and later for the Social Care sector. Is the private rented sector big enough, even at a specific 50% tax rate on rental income or property value, to come up with a similar sum?

    Starmer’s other idea of adding 10% to Inheritance Tax (IHT) rates would have only produced £500,000,000 or so, far less than the Government’s Legislation.

    It maybe a return to the Abbotocus is required and some midnight oil to be burned.

        As a result of creating a small annexe to look after my mother until she eventually required professional care, we ended up as very small landlords.

      It is clear that Labour have no cogent plan at all. What they do have is a hatred of private property, and most especially landlords, who suck the blood of the poor you see. So a vague mention of some sort of landlord tax, which they have no ability to implement, is all they can offer.

      The sad fact is that the so-called Conservative Party, when Gideon Osborne was Chancellor, have already managed to throttle the life out of private landlords with their tax raids. Labour are so stupid they do not realise that the Conservatives have already done what they threatened to do.

    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!

    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.

    BBC man, “yes, Trump is not here today but might visit later”
    BBC woman, “blah blah… the Trump supporters attack on The Capitol. blah blah The Capitol could have easily been a target on 9-11”

    The above isn’t quoted perfectly but pretty much right. They went from Biden’s non specific speech to Trump to “Trump voters” storming the Capitol to The Capitol could have been attack on 9-11.

    They didn’t make the final link but they might as well said the 9-11 attacks were done by Trump.

      Perhaps one day Mary Beard will regret what she has said.

      ”She wrote scholarly books: on things like religion and power in the ancient world. And then, just after 9/11, she was asked to contribute a piece to the LRB about the attack on the Twin Towers. She said that “the United States had it coming”, and all hell – all Hades, she would probably say – broke loose.”

      Furthermore, that same edition of The Conservative Woman contains no less than 5 articles on 9/11, including one entitled “9/11: Warped agenda of the BBC”. In it, the writer castigates the BBC for focusing on ‘how rampant Islamophobia came out of the events of that day’.

    I find it quite odd reading the assorted pieces on the 9/11 attacks.

    Everything, even this outrage has context

    15 of the 19 attackers were Saudi Arabian nationals – that is not irrelevant detail.

    It is relevant to remember The Siege of Mecca 22 years earlier in November 1979 where some familiar players had pivotal roles – the quantity of casualties by most reports at the time and later exceeded the Twin Towers attack.

    9/11 had roots and if anyone has any curiosity about where those are – look no further than “The Siege of Mecca” by Yaroslav Trofimov.

    That Palestinians and Israel are invoked in many editorial articles is as disjointed as the Saudi Arabian claims at the time (and later) that the massacre at Mecca was perpetrated by the Shiite mullahs of Iran (“dogs” featured often).

    The BBC angle?

    Well , – I went and reviewed their coverage of the 1979 attack – near no mention of casualties in BBC coverage…. I looked at Wikipedia – their accounting of casualties is risibly truncated – especially as iirc their death toll report was 2500 to 5000 when I last looked some 5 years ago.

    The motivation for the 1979 attack is embodied in the Taliban’s philosophy afaics – so- this will rumble on….

    I see that Al-BBC manage to report a fire at Didsbury Mosque – and GMP seem to think that “Hate Crime” trumps arson….

    Patronising, smug and dismissive reply from Nick Robinson to Michael Howard’s complaint that Today, Nick Robinson in particular, was so bad that people should now stop listening to it….

    ‘Shouting at the radio

    SIR – I’m sorry that Michael Howard is turning off his radio. He will have missed some illuminating and civilised conversations this week on Today – with the head of MI5 and Tony Blair examining the fallout from 9/11; the Archbishop of Canterbury on climate change and the Health Secretary on the crises in the NHS and social care.

    The joy of live radio is that it can move us – bringing joy when we hear of Emma Raducanu’s success; tears when we hear the memories of those haunted by 9/11 and, yes, sometimes anger when we shout at the radio at a politician who is being evasive or an interviewer who interrupts too much.

    We presenters don’t always get it right but we do our best to balance allowing those we interview to get their message across and holding them to account.

    I hope Lord Howard will be back listening soon and, perhaps, back in the studio too, where he has always robustly answered, rather than ignored, challenging questions.

    Nick Robinson
    London W1’

    I assume the title is Robinson’s…so immediately not taking Howard’s complaint seriously…..very BBC.

    His claim that the following interviews…with the head of MI5 and Tony Blair examining the fallout from 9/11; the Archbishop of Canterbury on climate change and the Health Secretary on the crises in the NHS and social care….were a great and informative listen was delusional…heard them all…Blair was given the softest of interviews [considering the BBC has spent 20 years denouncing hm and the war in Iraq], the Archbishop was wheeled in to prop up the climate change message and was asked the usual stupid, lazy and conceited gotcha question…was he himself doing all these things he suggested to save the planet…hate this type of weasily ‘gotcha’ question…is a Tory minister who suggests people may, if possible, put up refugees in their own homes, going to do the same? Nonsense. The Archbishop reeled off a list of things he’d do only for the presenter to demand ‘Meat too?’ Gotta keep plugging the anti-meat message on the BBC….who the f**k asked them to do that?
    And the health secretary…Savid Javid…er…he got exactly the same pompous, self-satisfied grandstanding point scoring interview that Nadhim Zahawi got….Robinson jumping in to shut Javid down as he talked about what the government had spent on the NHS, telling Javid that ‘No-one was interested in the input [money] only in the output[results]’. We all know that’s not true…the BBC relentlessly tells us there’s not enough being spent and demands ever more money from the government….in fact shortly after Robinson was doing just that in the interview….the BBC is the most powerful lobby group out there…it’s not a news organisation but a political organisation.

    Robinson ends with a lie…suggesting Zahawi and Javid were ignoring the questions when in fact they were answering…just not answers Robinson liked to hear.

      Thanks for the link . It is something about human nature that someone like Robinson is in a place where his ego has just been allowed to expand without limit .

      I think it is coupled with an inner knowledge that he can never be a ‘great’ interviewer because he must be the story – the interviewee is just someone to ‘nail ‘ as another scalp to chuckle about with his fans in the BBC Today production office .
      When I dip into Today if he is on – I switch off – in fact there are very few presenters I can listen too .

      I forced myself to listen to the 9/11 edition because I knew what was coming ….. and for the entire week leading up to today there has been a theme – the theme has been about the loss – this is understandable – but what is not understandable is the avoidance of the motivation of the Muslim mass murdering suicide attackers .

      The nature of Islam – which drove those men to commit those acts has not been ( widely ) discussed . And the reason for this ?
      It is easy – it is because the MSM have an informal understanding with the government – not to broadcast anything which might cause ‘discontent ‘ between the non Muslim and the Muslim .
      That theme is all over this site . There is no remedy ( at the moment ) – and there is a calculation that the strength of Islam in thr UK is growing fast enough for it to defend itself – either through the laws or money or votes or by physical ( numerical ) superiority .

      So when the next Islamic terrorist murder spectacular comes – which it will – the ‘all together ‘ theme will be front and centre .

      As for the foreign country that is America – 9/11 was the world so many countries – us – had been suffering for decades …. Which I suppose – together with the sheer spectacle of that day – stays with them and us .

      Lucy – nice to hear from you – I read your comment after I wrote the above .
