Weekend 24th February 2024

In a week where Islam has threatened the politics of Britain we might wonder how the BBC continues to unquestionably support the Islamic way of life ….

    News from the Islamic Broadcasting Corporation.

    Anti-Muslim cases surge in UK since Hamas attacks, charity finds

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-68374372

    In the first two paragraphs the BBC report that some pro-Muslim charidee called Tell Mama claims 2100 Islamophobia incidents since 7 October (btw the day 1300 Israelis were butchered by Hamas).
    Only near the bottom of the article do we discover there were 4000 antisemitic incidents in 2023, of which 2/3 rds were after October 7th. Note that the BBC therefore expect us to do our own arithmetic to work out that there were around 2600 antisemitic incidents over the same period there were 2100 anti Islamic incidents.

    But now let’s do what the BBC don’t. Consult the 2021 census.
    6.5% of the population identify as Muslim, and 0.5% Jewish.

    So antisemitic incidents per head are 2600/2100 x 6.5/0.5 equals SIXTEEN TIMES more than anti Muslim incidents.

    Yet the BBC only headline the anti-Muslim ones.

    Readers will draw their own conclusions. Not for nothing do we call them the Islamic ( or Hamas) Broadcasting Corporation.

    Disgusting anti-Semitic bias.

      The BBC is beyond saving.

      Threats in any form are the province of cowards. Death threats are of course the worst, but always strike me as stupid. If you mean harm, serving up a way to be located in advance is daft. But it is intimidation.

      Many in politics and media say they get them. Rather too many are alluded to without evidence. Plus of course they can be false flags.

      The BBCLabour Nexus of Weevils still trying to pretend it is a mystery far right that is the issue is beyond credulity, and makes Laura look compromised and complicit.

      Sadiq Khan has more integrity, dignity & intellect in his pinky than a thousand Lee Andersons.
      Lee Anderson’s comments are an example of how acceptable and pervasive Islamaphobia has become in our society. We all have a responsibility to root it out.

    Why is the BBC so obsessed with drag queens?
    “According to a poll, working-class viewers think the BBC’s news coverage has grown “too woke”. In what way, they didn’t specify. But it might be at least partly to do with BBC journalists’ peculiar current fixation with stories about drag queens.

    They pump out so many – and in such a breathless style, as if they think drag is some new, groundbreaking phenomenon. What makes it all the odder is that the stories are rarely even interesting. On Thursday, BBC Newsbeat reported that there’s a drag queen in the Philippines who dresses as Taylor Swift. That was the story. Nothing more to it. Other recent BBC headlines have included “Derbyshire’s First Drag Showcase Announced”, “Exhibition Traces History of Birmingham Drag Queen Twiggy”, “Drag Queens Gather for Two-Day Convention”, “Farmer’s Son Brings Drag to Welsh Countryside”, “Drag Star ‘Humbled’ by Support as Stolen Van Found”…

    Supporters of Israel sometimes accuse the BBC of bias. If they want some favourable coverage, they should urge Netanyahu to try dragging up.”,

    Way of the World is a twice-weekly satirical look at the headlines aiming to mock the absurdities of the modern world.

    Quite. The BBC obviously skews its media output. Obviously it does, but the BBC see this as thoroughly ‘modern’ woke, even normal for themselves. Sex is optional if it meets its own meaningless targets, gender as a diverse weapon gainst the natives. Stonewall suggest there are x150 genders and counting, it will include all those that think they are a teapot or a piano. Again the BBC think this is all perfectly normal and make it appear to be perfectly normal TV viewing. The mind boggles but they will argue its all about diversity, or ‘DEI’ inclusion for people we would, not that long ago, we used to lock up as sexual predatory perverts, now they parade on BBC and our once staid institutions, cowered into submission. It also suits the BBC to erase its more recent past (as though Saville never existed), or more likely resurrected as a sexual ‘pioneer’ of his time. The PIE network becomes across as broadcast entertainment. TV license funded perverts.

    GBNews carried a report/discussion on the Lee Anderson Islamophobia speech the morning, Stephen Dixon and Ann Diamond hosting. There was talk about how appropriate his speech was and the need for free speech. I was much amused to hear Stephen Dixon, at the end of the item, say “We have to be careful what we say”, journalism at its best.

    The Jewish community who have lived peacefully in our Country for many, many years and have helped rebuild since the war, are now the target of this hateful group. They live in fear of attack, scared to walk the streets, go to theatres or let their children walk to school. Their lives have been turned around and UK is a dangerous place for them to live in.

    Now they are attacking politicians who don’t vote the way this group thinks they should, teachers lives are threatened if they don’t meet this groups expectations and schools faced with closure while hoardes of these haters stand screaming hate outside. MPs private homes are being invaded with hundreds screaming hate and threats while the families are inside.

    Jews exist over 4000 years – yet , they have had only one county … always wanted just one tiny piece of land. There are only 7 million Jews in Israel.

    Muslims exist only 1400 years – yet , they conquered 57 countries so far !! 57 !! And still trying to conquer Israel too.

    Not only that, but in this 1400 years – Muslims murdered over 600 million people and multiplied & converted over 2 billion people to become Muslims. Convert to Islam or get killed . That’s what they’ve done for 1400 years.

    Yet , some idiots call the Jews oppressors and colonizers…it’s absurd. As if Israel with its 7 million Jews that never conquered a country , can go against 2 billions Muslims who conquered half the world.”

    The British government intends to stop funding an interfaith charity because one of its trustees is a member of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), which the British government refuses to engage with.

    Communities Secretary Michael Gove told the Inter Faith Network (IFN) on 19 January that he is “minded” to withdraw its funding due to the “reputational risk” posed to the government by an MCB member serving as one of the IFN’s trustees.

    The MCB member in question is Hassan Joudi, formerly an MCB assistant secretary general. He was appointed as an IFN trustee in July 2023.

    Trump and Haley in final push for votes in South Carolina
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-68355787

    Trump says:

    ‘He said: “Black people like me because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against… We’ve all seen the mug shot, and you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The black population. It’s incredible.”‘

    So Trump is wooing the black voters by saying he too is being victimised and they understand it. It’s a political thing to say while he is out campaigning in an election. I’ve seen far, far worse from others.

    And what is the BBC headline about it ?
    ”Disgusting’ – Haley slams Trump’s comments to black voters’

    Yet again they are using this awful womans mouth to let them write bad things about Trump. And now they are doing it on the actual day of the election!.

    Then they ask:
    ‘Will Haley drop out?’

    No matter how much this woman is humiliated, she will put on that awful plastic smile and carry on. And it’s for one single reason : she is the establishments preferred choice and so she has the money behind her to keep going to be the nominee if/when they manage to take Trump out of the race. Yet the BBC don’t go near that : they are painting her as the best choice. Just look what they also wrote in this article:

    I’ve been out speaking to voters in Charleston. Holt Moran, from Aiken, South Carolina, tells me he was a lifelong Republican until Donald Trump came along.
    Trump is a “danger to the country”, he says.
    Since then, Moran has voted for Democrats.
    But Nikki Haley has given him hope for the Republican party, he says.
    “She’s just the perfect person. She’s got an outstanding record, I think she can bring the Republican Party back to where it was.”
    Ridiculous.

    As Trump is so far in front, this BBC reporter must have had to ask quite a few people until they got the response they wanted. Then they put that one on their front page. I would not be surprised if it’s completely fake : I am quite certain they have been doing that for what people in Gaza are supposed to have said with their excellent English and perfect choice on on-topic agenda content.

    Lets see which of the BBC’s finest it was:

      BBC trying their best to help Haley, basically suggesting, in the latest elections, if you didn’t vote Biden you can vote against trump instead

      “Posted at 21:28
      Who’s voting today?
      South Carolina has “open” primaries, which mean you don’t need to be a registered member of a political party to be able to vote.

      However, you can only vote in one primary – so people can’t vote in both the Democratic and Republican primaries.

      The Democratic primary was on 3 February (Joe Biden won – you can read about it here).

      So, as long as someone didn’t vote in that, they’re eligible to vote today – even if they’re not a registered Republican. More on the rules here.”

    Haley’s supporters are still hyped up at election party
    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-68355787

    No question at all about who the BBC’s Holly Honderich (see picture above) supports here.

    ‘There’s been a telling change in the TV channel at Nikki Haley’s election night party – the right-wing Fox News has been turned off, and CNN has been turned on.’

    That would be ‘left-wing CNN’ then would it Holly ?. Because you don’t get more left than CNN : they give The Guardian a run for their money in misandry and TDS sometimes.

    ‘At one point, an anchor says Haley should continue on “as long as she has the money”.
    The crowd here responds loudly, shouting “she does!” and the room erupts in applause. We’re still waiting to hear from Haley.’

    How pathetic and it’s totally humiliating for Haley – but as usual for these ethically barren politicians, shes just puts on a smile, sticks her rubber neck out and pretends it isn’t.

    I wonder what Holly would do in life if she didn’t have the BBC. Yet another BBC low-grade 4 out of 10 clone who thinks she’s a 9.

    In contrast, this is the BBC piece to ‘celebrate’ Trumps win:
    ‘We’re outside the Trump victory rally in Columbia which has just ended.
    ‘Karen came here all the way from Florida to see Donald Trump. She’s also done some telephone canvassing for him.
    She says she’s not concerned about the former president’s legal troubles: “He could run the government under house arrest from the White House and we wouldn’t care. We love him.”‘

    South Carolina primary: Donald Trump easily defeats Nikki Haley in her home state
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68395414

    ‘The former president won his primary opponent’s home state by a 20-point margin, his fourth consecutive victory.’
    So the BBC’s conjecture that she might do a lot better proves wishful thinking again.

    ‘It marked a shift from his response to last month’s primary in New Hampshire, where he raged against Ms Haley for “doing a speech like she won”.’
    Any need to say that BBC ?. DID she do a speech like she won ?.

    ‘She vowed to stay in the race, however, saying the roughly 40% of the vote she received was “not some tiny group”.’
    This stubborness to keep going and the complete lack of analysis why has got my attention – so I did a check about where all her money is coming from:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2023/12/05/here-are-the-billionaires-backing-nikki-haley-as-a-trump-alternative-linkedin-co-founder-charles-koch-and-more/?sh=3d62c09e43dd

    Well what do you know – a lot of the money is coming from DEMOCRAT donors !!!.

    So here’s the plan : fund their puppet Republican candidate to stay in the race then take Trump out one way or another and there you have it : a bought and paid for President who will toe the line.

    ‘DeSantis’s campaign accused Haley in a tweet of being a secret “liberal who will do [Democrat donors’ and Wall Street CEOs’] bidding,”’

    She knows it. The BBC certainly know it. And nobody is going to tell us.

    Democracy – Leftist style. AKA dirty b@stards.

    The former President spoke exclusively to the Express at the CPAC conference in Washington DC as he prepared to wow thousands of conservatives from around America.”

    From a Beebicle, whining about Donald Trump’s huge win in South Carolina…

    “Ms Haley raised $16.5m in January alone, campaign officials said. That was her largest monthly total so far, and much more than Mr Trump’s numbers.”

    Hmmm, why not just say that Mr Trump is winning votes everywhere, “despite”, (Beeboid let-out word), having fewer donations?

    It’s not difficult to understand that if someone is so popular, there’s no need to waste more money than is necessary, which is a concept that nobody contemplates or even comprehends in Langham Place…

    There, that wasn’t so complicated was it!

      Haley will stay in the race no matter how badly she keeps on losing to Trump because she is an insurance policy, probably one of many.
      She is funded by the Globalist wing of the Republican Party and if she stays in the race , even if several laps behind Trump, when something stops Trump being on the ballot , and they will have lots of options for making that happen , it will be easy to make her the Republican candidate for the Presidency.
      Powerful people know that if Trump wins in November they will face prison and the neo liberal globalist project will be set back years if not completely destroyed. They cannot let him win a second term. They will do anything to stop him even though they know that it is likely to trigger a huge insurrection with a lot of violence destruction and death. They don’t care, they will be safe.

      So the Home Office undertakes yet another fruitless excercise in money wasting knowing that Israel will not take back any Palestinians who leave the territory.

      Britain should follow France’s example of charging countries who refuse to take back their nationals, and bill Israel the yearly cost of having to keep their failed asylum seekers.

    Watch out : more XXX rated BBC empathy porn.

    Sure it’s tragic people are in his position. But this cheap gutter-level tripe which is not news in any way, shape or form and is using the suffering of others as clickbait is appearing more and more on the BBC these days. Meanwhile thousands of others are being blown to bits as Ukraine is slowly losing the war – but that’s just men playing at being soldiers and the BBC staff don’t care about them. No awards for that kind of story at the next BBC bash.

    And always by someone who looks like this:

    The casual observer might think the BBC has taken on lots of people who cannot be given serious journalist work and so they let them do pointless articles like this – presumably in between watching romcoms with a box of paper handkerchiefs.

    The BBC is proud to be progressive, Mr AsI is proud to be transgressive, the Sunday edition

    Our Sunday papers today get down to serious politicking

    The Labour-supporting Sunday Mirror pictures London mayor Sadiq Khan and conservative (small ‘c’ he’s no longer a Tory) MP Lee Anderson on the frontpage together with the bold screamer headline: Boot out this bigot

    No prizes for guessing to which elected representative they refer – and would prefer to see gone from office – but should you still be in doubt and require a clue then think about that unpleasant epithet ‘bigot’ and remember the way that it was used during the campaign for the 2010 general election by the then incumbent Labour Prime Minister: Gordon Brown calls Labour supporter a ‘bigoted woman’… Gillian Duffy, 65… who had challenged him over the economy and immigration (Guardian)

    Be in no doubt Labour will inevitably soon be in a position to, and be rather keen to legislate against all and any criticism of The Prophet… and his followers, Inshallah. And the weak as water Tories have proved themselves impotent to stop it happening.

    Lee Anderson: MP suspended from Tory party over ‘Islamists’ comments (BBC)

    Islamophobia: Starmer turns on Tories over ‘toxic rhetoric’… MP suspended over attack on Sadiq Khan… Comments by Truss and Braverman slated… Keir Starmer has accused Rishi Sunak of harbouring “extremists in his party” (Labour-supporting Guardian on Sunday – The Observer) – be prepared to witness political prosecutions for blasphemy of anyone who speaks out on certain subject matter post- the next general election.

    We know what’s coming and our elites know it too. The moment to have prevented it has probably past. I use the verb prevent to emphasise the official failure. Our authorities imagined they could keep a lid on this even after the Seven Seven terror attacks in London aimed at commuters. Even after the Manchester Arena terror attack targeting our children – the meaage from the top was “Don’t look back in anger”

    Don’t Look Back in Anger, released in 1996, was a song by English rock band Oasis. It was written by the band’s lead guitarist and chief songwriter Noel Gallagher.

    Sometimes these segueways write themselves

    Liam Gallagher and John Squire on Oasis, the Stone Roses and musical divorces (Observer)

    If that’s not your generation for music, try: Rod & Jules: What inspired us to become kings of swing (Sunday Express)

    Think of Don’t Look Back in Anger as a sort of update to the hippie culture inspired I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)

    They used that ditty to sell old style Coca-Cola, despite the added sugar – they use the Oasis track to sell multiculturalism, despite the added terror.

    BBC proud to be progressive, says boss (Sunday Telegraph) – and this after 13 plus years of Tory government and repeated promises to reform the national broadcaster – fat chance of that under Labour.

    Seriously, we may as well give up hereabouts. What’s our mission statement… something along the lines of highlighting the biased anti-conservative messaging? The bias is a feature not a bug and it’s officially sanctioned under the Tories and will be even more so under Labour.

    You say you want a revolution…

    You ask me for a contribution
    Well, you know
    We’re all doing what we can

    So sang John Lennon

    Mr AsI cancelled his TV Licence some few years back (“sorted – respect due” – to borrow a catchphase from comic Harry Hill’s blue cat glove puppet Stouffer) and reduced his BBC intake to near net zero; aside that is from the guilty pleasure of a morning peruse of the BBC news online site and their line-up of select national press title frontpages.

    Which reminds me… I’ve digressed…

    Reunited was a hit song for R&B vocal duo Peaches & Herb (1979)

    The Daily Express may no longer be proudly waving the old yellow and blue and may have dropped the formerly long running boast: United with the people of Ukraine – on its masthead (lest we forget) but our big Sunday papers now come out with a quick burst of nostalgic proxy war fervour

    Pro-Ukraine activists gathered in central London… – and are awarded frontpage feature photo spot top billing in the Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Sunday Express and The Observer – reunited indeed – apparently across the political spectrum – we divine no prosepective policy change likely there then from our prospective new PM Sir Keir. War on islamophophia, war on Russia – it’s all cool, sorted, respect due.

    One shouldn’t complain about the photos of some rather attractive, pleasantly dressed in quaint specifically feminine european national costume, white Ukrainian women who are holding a yellow and blue heartshaped placard reading “Thank you” on a union jack flag – how often do you ever see that sort of imagery and sentiment on London demos.

    Appropriately enough – given we see more Palestinian or Ukrainian flags waved in Britain than union jacks these days – the Sunday Telegraph has a feature entitled: Brand values… Messages behind iconic logos

    Heart-Shaped Box was a song by the American rock band Nirvana, written by vocalist and guitarist Kurt Cobain… The song’s title was inspired by the collection of heart-shaped candy boxes [Courtney] Love kept in the front room of the Fairfax apartment she and Cobain lived in… However, early versions of the song featured the word “coffin” rather than “box” (Thank you Wiki) – further comment would seem superfluous, as I like to say. Do draw your own conclusions.

    Rishi Sunak warns of hatred in politics after Lee Anderson row
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68395642

    The BBC infer it is hatred towards Muslims with that headline and the second line of the article which reads:
    ‘He was speaking after Tory MP Lee Anderson was suspended from his party for refusing to apologise for “Islamist” comments about Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.’

    ‘The prime minister did not directly address the remarks, but talked about protests and the safety of MPs.’
    So he wasn’t talking about him at all then BBC. He was talking about the threats to MP’s safety by the Muslims. Which you have sent straight under the carpet.

    Then they go on to talk at length about Mr Anderson so you will assume the hate is from him.

    You’ll be hard pushed to find a more blatant attempt to mislead than this one. Even for the BBC.

    And I nearly spat my tea out when they wrote this:
    ‘On Saturday evening, Labour leader Sir Keir questioned the prime minister’s judgement in appointing him to the role.’
    ‘He said Mr Sunak needed to “take on the extremists in his party” and had a responsibility to “stop this slide into ever more toxic rhetoric”.’

    There are plenty of extremists in Parliament now. And not many on the Tory side. As we have witnessed several times recently. I despair that someone as pathetic as Starmer is going to be our PM.

    There is BBC Toenailsian ‘analysis’ as above, or pure impartial quality:

    https://x.com/fuddaily/status/1761548184449331481?s=61
    Jo Cox was murdered by a self-radicalised lone wolf. David Amess was murdered by an Islamic extremist. But what we’re seeing at the moment is something different: a coalition of leftists and Muslims who think mob action is entirely legitimate, and think they’re justified in hounding MPs, shutting down council meetings and disrupting the democratic process. They believe they have that right.

    This has gone on for some weeks now. It is now interfering with the normal operations of our national parliament. MPs now need bodyguards. This isn’t Islamism on the march. It’s the modern British left. This is who and what they are now. Self-righteous and entitled to the core.

    This is far from the first manifestation of it. We see similar behaviour from climate activists who disrupt traffic, block roads and attempt to destroy priceless works of art. We saw the same from BLM protesters who tore down statues. They’re behaving like spoiled children, and they’re getting worse because there are no consequences. There are serious consequences for football hooligans and right wing demonstrators, but the left is at liberty to project genocidal slogans on the side of Big Ben, while the Met Police bleats about Islamophobia.

    There’s a reason for this. The Met Police are rudderless and there is a moral vacuum at the top. The most important strategic organisation after the armed forces is under the spell of woke managerialism and intellectually bankrupt HR doctrines.

    Consequently, the police are always in appeasement mode and will always run from a fight. The front line of policing is undermined at every turn, not only by their commanders but also by the political class, with the nodding approval of Sadiq Khan. The buck stops with him.

    Lee Anderson could have made this point but instead resorted to low grade smear, unbecoming of a senior Conservative politician. The goal was wide open, but instead, we see a spectacular own goal. He deserves the sack if only for his political ineptitude.

    But we shouldn’t have expected anythign better. He is Sunak’s John Prescott. A token working class northerner retained as a fig leaf of relatability for a party that no more has our interests at heart than the Labour party. Islamism is a real threat, and one that’s been extensively documented over twenty years, fourteen of which were under Tory rule. And what exactly has been done about it?

    All things considered, I don’t mind at all that he’s been sacked. It’s not as though his more considered views have any influence on the party. Successive home secretaries have made robust speeches on immigration and the failures of multiculturalism but year on year, immigration goes up and the problems get worse.

    In order to bring things back to an even keel, there must be consequences for the unruly children of the left. Public sector workers joining hate marches must lose their jobs and their pensions. Demonstrators carrying antisemitic banners should be looking at jail time. Anyone filmed mobbing an MP or disrupting a council meeting should expect to spend a decade in prison.

    MPs needing beefed up security is a symbol of a democracy in decline, because the state is afraid to assert its own power to defend democracy. They’re at risk because of weak politicians, weak leadership, and a spineless political class that won’t draw a line in the sand. They’re so gutless they even boarded up the statue of Winston Churchill. The left continually spit in our faces and the authorities let them.

    Our political class is now so morally debased, they actually need prolonged discussions on whether it’s right to house rapists in womens prisons. Meanwhile, perverts feel entirely at liberty to perform drag queen strip teases in front of children in full view of the police. Ironically the state wouldn’t be nearly this dysfunctional if it had been taken over by Islamists.

    I’m not downplaying the threat that Islamism poses, but we’re losing sight of the fact that their enablers are white British middle class liberals who enable every other brand of depravity. They’re just as likely to be out hounding Labour MPs over Gaza as the most hardened Pakistani antisemite Muslim. We’ve reached this sorry state because we are ruled by spoiled children and abject cowards. They’re not capable of correcting the problems because they’re the primary cause of them. It’s up to us to remove them.

    “Imams convicted of child abuse offences in the UK.

    In March 2023, Abdus Sukur, who worked as an imam, was convicted of two counts of sexual assault on a child. The offences occurred between 2015 and 2018, at the victim’s home in Brighton, in Sukur’s role as an imam and came to light when the victim disclosed the abuse to social services in 2019.

    Unfortunately, Sukur is one of several imams to be convicted of child abuse offences in the UK, in recent months:

    Muhammad Asgar, a Quran teacher at Croydon Mosque & Islamic Centre, was convicted of attempted rape and four counts of sexual assault against two boys and sentenced to ten years imprisonment last month.

    Bradford mosque imam, Mohammed Ilyas Alibhai, was found guilty of three counts of sexual activity with a child and sentenced in February 2023 to one year in prison, given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for five years and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for ten years.

    Yusuf Sacha, a trusted “community figurehead” from Batley, was convicted of 12 offences including rape, indecent assault and indecency with a child and sentenced in February 2023 to 15 years in prison. Detective Chief Inspector Ian Thornes pointed out that “in committing these awful offences he abused his status as a community figurehead and the trust that brought him in the most appalling way”.

    An imam who sexually assaulted a young child over a period of 7 years had his sentence increased today after it was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Solicitor General, Robert Buckland QC MP, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.
    Mohammed Ghani, 65, was a respected imam in the local community who used professional visits to the victim’s home as an opportunity to carry out a campaign of sexual abuse. This resulted in lasting emotional repercussions for the victim.”

    Ghani was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court in August, where he was given 2 years imprisonment. Today, after the Solicitor General’s referral, the Court of Appeal increased his sentence to 5 years imprisonment.”
