    The BBC loved the ‘fact’ that the Liverpool bomber was a Christian convert and levered it into the reports as often as possible…..which is a bit different to how it reports confirmed Muslim bombers when the religion is suddenly not of any importance whatsoever.

    The BBC had at least two reports trying to counter other media reports that he wasn’t a true convert but had done so to game the asylum system….both BBC reports carefully avoided the evidence put forward by the other media backing up their claims.

    ‘Liverpool bomb: Church not aware of converts abusing asylum system’
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59317097

    ‘Liverpool bomb: Suspect seemed a genuine Christian, says church worker
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-59308938

    The BBC also avoids making any noise about reports that the bomber was a devout mosque goer…says the Mail….

    ‘The Liverpool suicide attacker who officials suspect converted to Christianity to aid his asylum application was in a mosque ‘all day, every day’ at the time he began building his bomb to blow up a maternity hospital, it emerged today.’

    This morning on ‘Sunday’ on R4 we had a little segment on this…oh yeah…all the right questions were asked but as the two guests were pro-immigration and there specifically to downplay this idea of ‘Pray to Stay’ the programme knew it was safe to do so….no inconvenient truths would come out.

    One guest was from the CofE itself and so had a dog in the fight…and of course poo-pooed the idea….after all the Church has no responsibility for assessing the legitimacy of asylum claims…er…and yet they consistently insist that such claims are real…

    Tom Harris[ex-Labour MP] in The Telegraph…

    ‘Time and again I was invited by church leaders and members to explain and defend government policy on asylum. Such meetings were often fraught: incredulous people would get angry at my refusal to accede to their view that personal testimonies were always 100 per cent accurate. Repeatedly I pointed out that there were individuals whose testimonies about their backgrounds and origins could not always be taken at face value. The reaction was almost always hostile: who would believe a politician over someone who volunteers to serve the tea after Sunday evening service?’

    The other guest is a Dr Lena Rose…probably a migrant herself judging by her accent…and she’s quite sure nearly all the claims are legitimate as she tells us 90% of Iranians entering Germany claim to be converts and base their asylum claim on that.

    Hmmm…she’s not exactly a neutral observer….and likes the BBC’s approach to covering up the truth…and as she says 90% of Iranian asylum claims are based on religion maybe, just maybe it is relevant….

    Is she a fan of open doors? Guess so as she frequently retweets such stuff as this….

    As Darth Vader might have said: The journalistic force is weak in this one

    “…pull factors are a myth not supported by evidence” – then please explain for us the push factors apparently operating in France?

    “Politically convenient justification” – I believe they call this projection.

    “…for harsh asylum policies” – is this a spoof of some kind?

    It looks like to me that the BBC has found in Azeem Rafiq
    as an analogy in a way, the British ethnic
    equivalent of George Floyd. No manslaughter or worse
    as in the case of Floyd for a compulsive criminal. But so far as the BBC is concerned a latter day Muslim Jesus Christ being
    crucified by Yorkshire cricket club. Maybe being stoned to
    death is a better phrase.
    Rafiq seems to me, as boy a typical ,but talented, in the field of cricket Muslim kid. More than likely with anti-semitism a ” dirty
    little secret for Muslims. As Mehdi Hasan the esteemed Muslim journalist
    and presenter has said on Question Time. I won’t blame
    Rafiq too much for this . Because he was probably taught it
    from an early age.
    But as he grew up he began to indulge in the “vices ” of the
    infidels .Probably not at first under his own recognizances . But
    probably succumbed to them , as most of us do , in one form
    or another.
    I believe that it came to a position that his contemporaries
    he was playing cricket with him felt that the kind of “racist” banter that goes on between people of the same ethnic groups.
    Such as black folk calling THEMSELVES ,n***r or Non Jews
    or Jews shouting out YIDDO’S when supporting Spurs, could be
    applied to calling Rafiq a p**i. It would be interesting to know what Rafiq called them in banter or jest.
    We know a little bit more about Rafiq being one of the “boys”
    now. And one would not imagine in a million years this
    “episode” is not being done for anything other than altruistic reasons.
    Although fellow contributors. I have been in the gambling
    industry for nearly sixty years. And some of the “stories” I
    can tell, would be on the front page of every newspaper in the land. My advice to Mr Rafiq would let this story go to bed.
    But it’s probably too late now. BUT if the BBC carry on making
    a Saint out of this gentleman. they are going to finish up with egg on their face.

      As a fully qualified dinosaur i have to say that the hyper sensivity of all thing race or sex is just a madness of our time .
      Frankly a ‘ good person’ test should he applied . Clearly this pakk cricketer doesnt qualify because he has exploited his ‘ victimhood’ whilst saying and doing things which are shameful.
      The self censorship arising out of this sickness is now fully embedded – which i guess is part of the race industry aims .

      People just adapt to no writing comments or saying things without filtering them first . Their views are ‘ internalised ‘ and perhaps – strengthened .
      Mine certainly are .

    Just a thought. Liberals like to describe “Islamophobia” as an “irrational” fear of Islam. Then surely its antonym, “philia”, means an “irrational” love; so the BBC’s patent Europhilia is by definition irrational! Works for me.

    Marianna Spring’s reporting and Twitter feed seem to be as much about her as anything else. Loves being nominated for awards but hates the criticism that comes with pumping out fake news.

    Looking at her Twitter feed and you can see the obsession…it’s clearly directed by the BBC narrative about social media, climate change and lockdowns/vaccines.

    Social media is bad, Facebook in particular is always targeted, anti-vaxxers are mad and dangerous as are climate change deniers…and now Spring seeks out the intersection, lol, between the two ‘conspiracy theories’.

    You won’t find anything about the huge amount of dangerous fake news pouring out of the media about Rittenhouse….nor any mention of the backtracking about Trump and the Russia Hoax….both huge stories.

    This is the BBC using its self-professed disinformation service to troll people who are either sceptical about climate change or vaccines….and who believe, rightly, that a ‘Great Reset’ is being forced upon us by the ‘elites’ using climate change and covid as an excuse…..Spring thinks, as does the BBC, that it’s all a big conspiracy theory….

    The BBC used a sleight of hand to dismiss the Great Reset…

    ‘We start with the revival of the baseless conspiracy theory, known as the ‘Great Reset’, which claims a group of world leaders orchestrated the pandemic to take control of the global economy. ‘

    It linked the idea to a false one…that of the pandemic being manufactured….that’s not the idea…the idea is that the pandemic was real but then exploited and used as an excuse to impose these new ways of life upon us….and climate change is very much part of that narrative to force us to change the way we live and behave in order to ‘save the planet’.

    Here’s the narrative from Spring’s ‘Denial Files’….

    ‘How disinformation and denial are threatening the fight to prevent climate catastrophe.’

    So you know exactly where she is coming from.

    No surprise that when Con26 was taking place the BBC’s disinformation service switched tack from Facebook to climate change…clearly Spring & Co are used as a weapon, directed at will, to shut down, downplay and silence climate change sceptics…sceptical of the extent, causes and proposed solutions…all perfectly valid positions and questions that the BBC refuses to ask and tries to prevent anyone else asking.

    And somewhat disturbing that Spring was trying to influence a Parliamentary committee using her ‘evidence’…the BBC’s tentacles, power and influence get everywhere.

    The BBC’s disinformation service is just that….a spreader of disinformation that serves to push its own messages and wordviews….Spring should investigate herself…actually she might like that…it’s all about her.

      Many years ago I worked for a company that employed an ‘out of the box thinker’. Some people thought he was a bit ‘weird’ but I thought he was worth listening too, after all he was being paid to do his job by the company.

      After listening to one of his talks I drew a cartoon of him surrounded at his desk by lots of different timepieces, all showing a different time. He was drawn speaking on his phone and the caption was, “At least I know I don’t know the right time!”

      I think that ought to be the position of any sensible person, especially these days. The certainty of Ms Spring, coupled to her age, makes me think she is almost certainly wrong!

      Pug,
      Despite initial appearances to the contrary, I can only imagine what was said in the preliminary briefing between Billy Bunter and Nadine Dorries before she took up the position.

      BB thanked ND for instilling in the public that she was no fan of the BBC and for her emphasising her faux distaste for the “Most Trusted”.

      BB: ‘That was a good trick that got the public and other critics off our back temporarily and bought us a little time’.

      ‘Listen ND, the propaganda that the BBC spews out is in line with other major broadcasters in Europe and the US. It is designed to pacify the public who we would not want to even start thinking revolution / coup as a result of the various Governments’ patent mismanagement of their countries. If they start seeing the daily protests and rioting happening throughout Europe, for example, they might get the wrong idea and decide to have a go at that themselves.’

      BB: ‘No Nadine, much as we might find the BBC’s lies and distortions of the truth distasteful, on balance, its helping to keep the public down and in check.’
      BB: ‘I’m sure you understand. Now FO and do the job and don’t upset the BBC………..

    Not the BBC, I know, but this is The Sunday Times today (21 Nov 2021).

    Peter Conradi

    “The party’s leaders (The Freedom Party) have consistently downplayed the seriousness of the virus, opposed vaccination and promoted quack cures such as ivermectin, a potentially toxic dewormer blamed for serious illness among some who have taken it.”

    Ivermectin a quack cure?

    Am no expert, or even a doctor or other medic, but I was under the impression that it was on the WHO’s list of essential medicines, had been used in complete safety for about 40 years as a treatment for parasites, and had been found to be effective against Covid-19.

    This from the US National Library of Medicine:-

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33278625/

    “Ivermectin, a US Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-parasitic agent, was found to inhibit severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine the rapidity of viral clearance and safety of ivermectin among adult SARS-CoV-2 patients. The trial included 72 hospitalized patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh, who were assigned to one of three groups: oral ivermectin alone (12 mg once daily for 5 days), oral ivermectin in combination with doxycycline (12 mg ivermectin single dose and 200 mg doxycycline on day 1, followed by 100 mg every 12 h for the next 4 days), and a placebo control group. Clinical symptoms of fever, cough, and sore throat were comparable among the three groups. Virological clearance was earlier in the 5-day ivermectin treatment arm when compared to the placebo group (9.7 days vs 12.7 days; p = 0.02), but this was not the case for the ivermectin + doxycycline arm (11.5 days; p = 0.27). There were no severe adverse drug events recorded in the study. A 5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19. Larger trials will be needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

    Or this, from the same place:-

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/

    Background:
    Repurposed medicines may have a role against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The antiparasitic ivermectin, with antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, has now been tested in numerous clinical trials.

    Areas of uncertainty:
    We assessed the efficacy of ivermectin treatment in reducing mortality, in secondary outcomes, and in chemoprophylaxis, among people with, or at high risk of, COVID-19 infection.

    Data sources:
    We searched bibliographic databases up to April 25, 2021. Two review authors sifted for studies, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were conducted and certainty of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach and additionally in trial sequential analyses for mortality. Twenty-four randomized controlled trials involving 3406 participants met review inclusion.

    Therapeutic Advances:
    Meta-analysis of 15 trials found that ivermectin reduced risk of death compared with no ivermectin (average risk ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.19–0.73; n = 2438; I2 = 49%; moderate-certainty evidence). This result was confirmed in a trial sequential analysis using the same DerSimonian–Laird method that underpinned the unadjusted analysis. This was also robust against a trial sequential analysis using the Biggerstaff–Tweedie method. Low-certainty evidence found that ivermectin prophylaxis reduced COVID-19 infection by an average 86% (95% confidence interval 79%–91%). Secondary outcomes provided less certain evidence. Low-certainty evidence suggested that there may be no benefit with ivermectin for “need for mechanical ventilation,” whereas effect estimates for “improvement” and “deterioration” clearly favored ivermectin use. Severe adverse events were rare among treatment trials and evidence of no difference was assessed as low certainty. Evidence on other secondary outcomes was very low certainty.

    Conclusions:
    Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.

    Ivermectin a quack cure? Apparently not.

    It does seem extraordinary to see that publications which at one time in my life were regarded as reliable organs of record can have degenerated to the point where they peddle stuff like Conradi’s piece.

    Just been having a look at Tucker Carlson show on Fox and it reports that there are calls in Congress for Rittenhouse to be tried by the Federal courts rather than the Wisconsin State Court. It seems that such a process is indeed possible , ie you can be tried for the same alleged crime twice in different courts and different verdicts can result, the Federal one taking precedence.
    In normal times I think that such a move would never happen but with the current crop of democratic politicians in charge anything is possible.
    Perhaps it is just a ploy to stop a Rittenhouse suing the pants off just about every democrat MSM outfit and of course Biden himself. The Dems don’t prosecute if Rittenhouse agrees not to sue.
    The politicisation of the legal system in the US by the Dems has reached previously unplumbed depths. The country is now neither a democracy nor a country which has an impartial legal system. Where America treads the UK is not far behind.

      Rittenhouse cannot be tried again at the state level (double jeopardy) but the route the Feds will probably take is charging Rittenhouse with violating the Civil Rights of the people he shot (I refuse to call them “victims”).

      They used the same playbook with the Minneapolis police officers who were involved with the drug addict Floyd.

    The BBC hounds and pounds people who are reluctant to have the vaccines….they are either stupid, dangerous conspiracy theorists or victims of stupid, dangerous conspiracy theorists.

    But of course many people make their decision based on rational thought processes or just out of principle…maybe they are young and think themselves invulnerable[pretty jusitifed looking at the stats] or just don’t like having, or being forced to have, some drug injected into them…or they look at reports and conclude that maybe there are some questions about a vaccine that has been developed so fast and is unproven long term as to its side-effects.

    Pregnant women were told not to get vaccinated at first…then told to get vaccinated…what are they to think?
    The Astra-Zeneca vaccine has all but vanished from the scene…what are people to think?

    The BMJ in October 2020 suggested there needs to be a lot more research into the effectiveness and side-effects of vaccines and said….

    https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4037

    ‘The world has bet the farm on vaccines as the solution to the pandemic, but the trials are not focused on answering the questions many might assume they are. …..History shows many examples of serious adverse events from vaccines brought to market in periods of enormous pressure and expectation. There were contaminated polio vaccines in 1955, cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome in recipients of flu vaccines in 1976, and narcolepsy linked to one brand of influenza vaccine in 2009.

    “Finding severe rare adverse events will require the study of tens of thousands of patients, but this requirement will not be met by early adoption of a product that has not completed its full trial evaluation,” Harvard drug policy researchers Jerry Avorn and Aaron Kesselheim recently wrote in JAMA.’

    The BBC’s demonisation and ‘othering’ of anyone reluctant to be vaccinated is a dangerous and extremist attempt to promote the vaccines and government policy….the BBC is acting as the propaganda arm of Government rather than being an honest broker merely putting out the facts and accurate information that can genuinely guide people to make their decisions….still, better than shooting them in the streets as Dutch police do to no shock or anger from the BBC…always very selective when complaining about police brutality and violence.

      “The Astra-Zeneca vaccine has all but vanished from the scene…what are people to think?”

      Here’s a clue. The price of AZ is between $2.15-$5.00 depending on where you are in the World. American pharma companies make nothing from this.

      Pfizer costs between £17 and £22 and the price of Moderna is between $22-$37. American pharma companies are reckoned to have made around $41 billion so far from their ‘vaccines’.

      Go figure.

      These numbers are from the hard left Guardian but hey, they are onboard with all this stuff anyway.

    Hamas terorist shoots Jews in Israel….BBC reports…

    ‘A gunman has opened fire in Jerusalem’s Old City, killing one person and wounding at least three others.

    The gunman, who officials identified as a member of the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, was shot dead by Israeli security forces.’

    Just a bit ‘militant’ eh?…even though….. ‘Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan and the United States have designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. Australia, New Zealand, Paraguay and the United Kingdom have designated only its military wing as a terrorist organization. ‘

    Shame he wasn’t white…then he’d be immediately labelled as a white supremacist terrorist….however as we know the BBC thinks all Palestinian terrorism is ‘self-defence’, a reaction, backlash, to Israeli oppression and war-crimes….so he’d be a hero.

    LOL…any wonder Priti Patel wants to also label the Hamas ‘political wing’ as terrorists….

    ‘ The man – named in Palestinian and Israeli media as Fadi Abu Shkhaydam – was a member of the group’s political wing.’

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/11/expect-even-greater-migration-from-africa-says-attenborough-imf-global-warming

    ‘Global warming could create ‘greater migratory pressure from Africa”
    ‘Europe can expect even greater migratory pressure from Africa unless action is taken to prevent global warming, Sir David Attenborough has said in a strongly worded warning to policymakers that time is running out to save the natural world from extinction….“I find it hard to exaggerate the peril. This is the new extinction and we are half way through it. We are in terrible, terrible trouble and the longer we wait to do something about it the worse it is going to get.”’

    And just a couple of weeks ago the Guardian was happily promoting Boris’ scaremongering…

    ‘Cop26 failure could mean mass migration and food shortages, says Boris Johnson ‘
    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/30/cop26-failure-could-mean-mass-migration-and-food-shortages-says-boris-johnson

    Back in 2013 the BBC was trying to downplay the likelihood of Europe being invaded by climate change refugees [It didn’t want you to oppose refugees or for you to think that you’d be taken over by them] even as the ‘Far-Right’, lol, said it would happen….

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23899195

    ‘So, what of the estimate that there could be 200 million climate refugees by 2050?

    This figure has travelled far and wide. It was noted in the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, was mentioned by the president of the UN General Assembly in 2008, and has been cited by numerous NGOs.

    It comes from research papers by Oxford-based scientist Prof Norman Myers – including one published in 1995 and another in 2005.’

    Stern, the UN and those green NGO’s were all Far-Right!? Who knew?

    Oh and Labour’s Chris Bryant….I suppose Hitler was a socialist so….

    ‘In a speech to the Institute for Public Policy Research, Chris Bryant warned that millions of people around the world could be forced to leave their homes over the next few decades and move to countries less affected by environmental problems.

    “If we get climate change wrong there is a very real danger we shall see levels of mass migration as yet unparalleled,” he said.

    “The United Nations (UN) estimates that in 2008 20 million people were displaced by climate change.”‘

    There is a solution….as Sweden turns from a socialist paradise to a socialist nightmare…as they all do in the end…immigration and the diversity hoax…..

    ‘How gang warfare took over Sweden’s streets’
    https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-sweden-became-the-most-dangerous-country-in-europe

    ‘According to a 2018 study by the criminologist Amir Rostami, a majority of those involved in organised crime are either first or second-generation immigrants. Dr Rostami identified 15,000 individuals involved in organised crime – a staggering number for a country with 10 million inhabitants.

    It is these criminals and their organised gangs that are driving Sweden’s epidemic of gun violence and bombings. According to a recent study by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, a government agency, Sweden now has the worst rates of deadly gun violence out of almost two dozen European countries surveyed, with four deaths per million inhabitants, compared to the European average of 1.6.

    I’m still not sure how someone can have his asylum and all legal challenges refused in 2014 and still be in the country making yet another application in 2021.

    And who paid for all those legal challenges ?.

    This – any many other topics – will not be covered by BBC reporters. I deliberately do not use the word journalists.

    Hmmmmm, so it seems that Amol Rajan – currently the BBC’s golden boy, is the ‘presenter’ of a documentary about the Royal family and its family disputes – due to be aired tomorrow. The RF are in a bit of a tizz about not having seen it beforehand.

    All that aside, I find it a bit rich, that Amol Rajan – born in India (and like the rest of them, pitched up here when in his infancy), has attached his colours to the mast of republicanism, by saying he thinks the Monarchy are “absurd”, amongst other things.

    This rejection by migrants – who know how the UK operates and under whose flag we fly, really pisses me off. Lucky old Rajan that he was able to arrive here in the first place due to India being part of the Commonwealth or he would still be living in God knows what conditions in Kolkata – or rather Calcutta as we know it, and unlikely he would have had a university education, but waddayouknow, he went to Cambridge here. Aren’t we the greatest ?

    Him and the rest of them, need to think, that had we no monarchy, there would be no ‘British Commonwealth”, no Commonwealth no access to the UK , and how life would now be for him and Savid Javid et al who are all here because their parents were able to move here.

    BBC – Christian Female Priest introducers article on HALAL Alcohol for muslims.

    Alcohol is forbidden within Islam as it is harmful to the body. In the Qur’an , Allah says that any intoxicants or gambling are “from the work of Satan” (Qur’an 5:90). Therefore, Muslims consider that all non-prescribed drugs are the work of Satan and are designed to lead people away from Allah.

    We say “send them to Albania, that’ll make them think twice”
    Do the Albanians think they live in such a total shithole that somalians would turn their noses up at having to spend time there while being processed (possibly 10-20 years at the current rate I’ll admit)

    Why not send them to South Georgia.

    And Patel was this morning
    speaking at the Trump supporting
    Koch brother funded
    climate denying Heritage Foundation.
    Reported on the BBC as Patel “speaking in Washington”

    That is weird cos speech actually never mentioned Climate/Green/COP26 at all *
    None of them quote any words
    They #JustSmear

    In fact the speech was about National security etc
    “British Home Secretary Priti Patel today announced banning of #Hamas in its entirety, a move that puts the UK in line with the U.S. and EU.
    Patel said during a speech in Washington, “Hamas is fundamentally and rabidly anti-Semitic.”

    Guest mentioned this earlier but the oximeter, a medical device, is guilty of racial bias, according to Sajid Javid. Cue claims of structural racism, systemic racism in healthcare, evil white technology. The coronavirus and the oximeter must be forming a sinister coalition to wipe out black people.

    Actually what is happening is merely a diagnostic inaccuracy relating to skin colour. Inanimate objects like medical devices are incapable of “racial bias”, which is a preference made by moral agents.

    Overplaying the race card on this one, I’d say.

    Just a couple of thoughts about these people crossing the Channel courtesy of the RNLI and the Border Farce.

    1. The RNLI are supposedly made up of volunteers, to my knowledge there’s only one professional life boat crew, that’s the one at Spurn Point on the Humber Estuary, so if they are volunteers, who is paying their salaries, doing their courses at yooni, etc.whilst they are casually cruising off Dover picking up the flotsam of the world?

    2. Living abroad, I visited the UK last week for a few days,I was in Pompey, what a desolate place it is now the RN has pulled all its shore establishments out of the city and surrounding area, anyway the point I wish to make is this, travelling on the ferry from Ouistreham my wife and I had to produce proof of covid double vaccination, Passenger locator form along with proof of a day 2 test having been ordered. Getting into Pompey, we had to provide the same proof. Who is subjecting these dusky visitors to our shores to the same rigorous examinations. Answers on the back of an envelope please.

    Covid cases in Africa are mysteriously low. At the same time hardly any one has been vaccinated there. Strange isn’t it. I wonder why the BBC don’t report on this and ask why it’s like that there instead of only asking Boris to lock us up again.

    If the BBC did honest proper reporting, their investigation would ask why low vaccine uptake seems to = low covid cases.

    No wonder the trust in the BBC is at at all time low. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-science-health-pandemics-united-nations-fcf28a83c9352a67e50aa2172eb01a2f
