Weekend 28 October 2023

Figures released this week show that across BBC ‘platforms ‘ the decline continues . Both Radio 2 and Radio 4 suffers big losses – the woke kidult stuff doesn’t work . But never mind – the BBC gets state funding whatever it does or says. But someday that must change .

    I was scrolling through The Sun on line and there are pictures of teenagers in fancy dress or very skimpy dress out on the town.
    I wonder if they were aware of the enrichers right behind them.
    I don’t think this was Rotherham or one of ‘those’ places although these girls look too old (late teens) for the groomers.

    There’s another short comment about the BBC coverage of Gaza – and how -hopefully – it’s’ international reputation – living on past glories – has been damaged by calling Hamas ‘ fighters’ or gunmen or militants – … but not killlers , murderers . Terrorists …. Don’t want to upset tower hamlets eh?

    How many times have we been warned?

    Hilaire Belloc, the 20th century Catholic historian and poet, warned in 1929 that Islam would make a return to the world stage:

    “We shall almost certainly have to reckon with Islam in the near future. Perhaps, if we lose our Faith, it will rise. For after this subjugation of the Islamic culture by the nominally Christian had already been achieved, the political conquerors of that culture began to notice two disquieting features about it. The first was that its spiritual foundation proved immovable; the second that its area of occupation did not recede, but on the contrary slowly expanded.

    In my own youth the decaying power of Islam (for it was still decaying) in the Near East was a strong menace to the peace of Europe. Those old people of whom I speak had grandparents in whose times Islam was still able to menace the West. The Turks besieged Vienna and nearly took it, less than a century before the American Declaration of Independence. Islam was then our superior, especially in military art. There is no reason why its recent inferiority in mechanical construction, whether military or civilian, should continue indefinitely.

    Even a slight accession of material power would make the further control of Islam by an alien culture difficult. A little more and there will cease that which our time has taken for granted, the physical domination of Islam by the disintegrated Christendom we know.”

    I think we can safely say that the BBC ‘dream’ of a multicultural melting-pot UK has finally died.

    Actually, it never lived, other than in the delusional minds of Beeboids.

    But now, when hundreds of thousands of muslims take to the streets to support a terrorist organisation and violently confront the pusillanimous police while millions more cheer from the sidelines and from their homes, the lie is apparent for all to see.

    The good news is that even ‘normies’ are waking up to the existential threat to our way of life posed by a fanatical, intolerant, supremacist politico-religious ideology that can’t and won’t assimilate. The bad news is, it’s much too late. The demographics of immigration and birth rates mean we’re way past the point of no-return.

    Farewell Britannia, you had a good run. RIP.

    PS. I’m aware that a depressing number of the demonstrators (or ‘mostly peaceful’ rioters) were Leftist non-muslims. That’s a separate discussion.

    The Jews in the UK have at least a home to go to
    when the Islamists take over the UK which will surely
    happen. It has already happened in Londonistan.
    The BBC , The Guardian and all the other Corbynista
    run organizations have now completely come out of
    the woodwork in support of their friends Hamas and
    Hezbollah. I fear for all my Christian , Hindu and moderate
    Muslim friends when the fanatical, fundamentalist Islamists
    finally have complete control of the UK. Where will you go?
    Because as sure as night follow day. Because of birth rates
    this will happen in at the most four generations.

      @Foscari
      Not just Christian, Hindu and moderate Muslims.
      Non-Musims of all sorts will have a three-way choice: convert; pay the Jizya tax and become second class citizens; or face death.

      https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/jizya.aspx

      “Muhammad clearly established that people of other religions have to pay a poll tax to Muslims called the jizya, as a reminder of their inferior status. This abrogates an earlier verse stating that there is “no compulsion in religion” and it destroys any pretense that Islam is merely a religion and not a political system.”

      Conversion, Jizya, or Death.

      Quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth… until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”

      Sahih Muslim (19:4294) – There are many places in the hadith where Muhammad tells his followers to demand the jizya of non-believers. Here he lays down the rule that it is to be extorted by force: “If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them”

      Sahih Bukhari (53:386) – The command for Muslims to spread Islamic rule by force, subjugating others until they either convert to Islam or pay money, is eternal: Our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says:– “Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e. martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master.” This is being recounted during the reign of Umar, Muhammad’s companion and the second caliph, who sent conquering armies into non-Muslim Persian and Christian lands (after Muhammad’s death).

      Sahih Muslim (1:33) – “I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah.’s The “protection” needed by the unbeliever is from Muhammad himself. In other words, the jizya is paid by the non-Muslim in exchange for not being killed.

        Vlad,

        I don’t think the jizya has to be offered to any religions other than what the Muslims call “people of the book” Jews & Christians. Under the strictest application of Sharia, Hindus, Sikhs & others may be killed without the offer to pay the tax for their lives. It’s convert or die.

          Think you may be right on that, Lucy.

          Having written that, Islam is a fractured belief system that makes the ‘Heinz 57 varieties’ of Southern Baptist in the USA look positively united. Graeme Woods book ‘The Way of The Strangers’ brings out some of the differences as the author contacts Muslims who are enthusiasts for IS and finds many differences among them.

          It is not just Sunni v Shia v Azedi, but whether you are Salafi or resident in the US and lecturing in Islamic Studies, or are an idealistic Japanese convert to Islam, or whether you are prepared to recognise someone’s claim to a Khalifah (Caliphate). Then there others who follow a particular scholar …. . It makes my head spin reading that book but am determined to finish it. It is very well researched and the author lectures at Yale, iirc, cannot remember his subject field but is probably Islam related.

    Our God awful police have allowed Hamas supporting riff-raff to set up a little shanty village next to the Cenotaph. Perhaps this was in collusion with our little pigmy, Paki mayor, I don’t know. I do know that they don’t want to leave them there too long.

    It’s Remembrance Day in two weeks. A very moving and sombre occasion when we mourn the passing of those that laid down their lives for our freedoms.

    A land fit for heroes. A green and pleasant nation that the English can call home. A country where freedom of speech is held to be sacrosanct.

    My God, what did they die for?

    They must be spinning in their graves…

    Only a few years ago we rarely had terrorist attacks, and if there were these we in the middle east etc, now its a regular occurrence

    Woman stuck in Gaza says British government needs to take action
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-67246761

    You know, I’m getting the impression that the BBC are loving this. Unlimited suffering and empathy value : exactly what their new generation of staff like to write about. I can’t even begin to imagine the virtue-signalling going on in their offices.

    These ‘statements’ from people in Gaza are starting to get a bit fishy : they seem to be coming up with exactly the right words to back up what the BBC want.

    But what caught my eye in this one was this:

    “If the British government fails to take action, they will be held accountable for the deaths of their citizens in Gaza.”

    What ?. Held accountable by who BBC ?. You ?. Other Muslims ?.

    Sounds a lot like a threat.

    Here’s the author:

      What was the UK Home Office guidance on travel to Gaza before all this current mess kicked off?

      I’m pretty sure it was ‘We advise against all travel to this destination’.

      If you ignore such warnings, you should have an idea what you’re potentially letting yourself in for. Sorry, but it’s not the responsibility of the government of the UK to get you out alive if you ignore the warning and go ahead anyway!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67254368

    It’s a sign of our times when for every article like this, they feel the need to add this statement:

    ‘The Metropolitan Police said at this stage, the incident was not being treated as terror-related.’

    Even these have weasel words in them : ‘at this stage’ probably means the driver was not white.

    And of course we all know that only one type of terrorist hits random groups of people in public areas. The same ones responsible for all the bollards we have had to erect in our public spaces so they can’t mow people down in trucks.

    You know the ones I mean : the same ones who have caused all this trouble in Gaza. The ones the BBC will never name unless they really have to.

      Also The Hindu Diwali is coming up in mid November. And Hanukkah in the middle of December soon followed by Christmas. It’s been common practice for Jihadis to attack those of other religions during their holy days or festivals.

    Here is some history you will NEVER hear about on
    the BBC. In September 1970 King Hussain declared “war ”
    on his Palestinian “guests” who were allowed into Jordan
    after the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States
    in 1967.
    By 1970 the Palestinians in gratitude decided it was time for
    a coup against the King. One of King Hussain’s
    chief military advisor’s was Brigadier Mohammed Zia -U-Haq ,
    who later became President of PAKISTAN. Haq also had a
    strong Pakistani unit with him to help the Jordanian Army
    defeat the Palestinians . In the process killing it is said in the
    region of 25,000 Palestinians. The conflict was known as
    BLACK SEPTEMBER.
    It is said that Moshe Dayan the legendary military commander said that in ” Black September King Hussain , killed more Palestinians in 11 days than Israel could kill in 20 years.
    I just wonder how many of the British Pakistani Muslims
    spouting their vile anti- semitic diatribe , as they marched in
    London and other cities in support of Hamas Know what the ex President of Pakistan was involved in.

    And this is the main reason why nearly all Arab countries if
    not all. With all their rhetoric against Israel . Shut their borders
    to the Palestinians.
