This small quote from Adrian Chiles demonstrates all that is wrong with the BBC and its employees…its smug superiority and condescending attitude…..Trump was talking about sending troops to Afghanistan and the need to deal with Pakistan…Chiles decides he knows much better and Trump needs his advice…
‘Has he has Pakistan explained to him?…It’s a complicated place’
Encapsulates the whole BBC attitude towards Trump.
The BBC continues to fly the flag for the EU reporting every utterance from the undemocratic and corrupt not-so-superstate as if it was the truth set upon tablets of stone whilst anything the British say is treated with scepticism, disdain and mockery…Ed Stourton laughing along with a Eurocrat who was deriding the British stance claiming he just didn’t know what sort of cake you could have and eat it at the same time. The BBC’s interpretation of anything the British negotiators say is entirely negative….the conclusion is usually that our demands are entirely unworkable and unacceptable to the EU…and of course we must shape our demands to suit the EU mustn’t we? Well, according to the BBC we must.
The BBC has always tried to paint the British position as chaotic, unplanned, unprepared and aimless, intransigent and hopelessly simplistic and over-expectant….pretty much how the EU wants it to be seen as. When do you see the EU criticised as unrealistic, untruthful, slow, unwilling to compromise, employing disruptive and delaying tactics meant to ensure Brexit fails or is at least completed on the worst possible terms for Britain. And the real problem is that not ony do we have collaborators working behind the lines, ie the Labour Party amongst many others, we have a BBC that refuses to challenge the EU/Remian narrative and in fact does all it can to promote the idea that Brexit is over and that the best we can hope for is a ‘soft Brexit’…in other words we stay in the EU. Naturally we will be at the mercy of the EU then…something the BBC doesn’t dwell on.
The last week or so we have seen the Position Papers published and the BBC has done its usual hatchet job painting a picture of doom, of the impossibility, naivity and stupidity of the British position….nothing the British want is possible, or sensible it seems. We had Emma Barnett tell us that it was ‘only common sense to stay in the ECJ’ and the BBC’s apparent legal expert, Clive Coleman, tell us we would always be subject to the ECJ…just like Canada….lol.
The BBC seems to be under the impression that the ECJ is some international court that is set above ‘national’ interests when the truth is it is the EU, not ‘European’, Court of Justice…it represents the EU’s interests and is known as a highly political court that takes decisions based as much upon the political effect as the legal….the political effect being beneficial to the EU of course.
When May said the ECJ would have absolutely no direct jurisdiction over British laws the BBC decided this meant it would still therefore be making rulings that governed British law over-riding the British Supreme Court…but that is total nonsense. What May meant, and indeed is the case with all countries, is that if you want to sell goods or services to, for example, the EU, then the manufacturer of those goods must make sure the products comply with the law of the land they are to be exported to…this in no way means the ECJ [or the EUCJ as it should be known] has any jurisdiction in the UK…any court action for breaching local law would be in the EU not in the UK. The BBC began to peddle the idea that this menat May had softened Brexit and that Remainers should be cheering.
The BBC of course set the ECJ scare stories running with an orchestrated little plot in which it organised an interview between the Times’ Sam Coates and the increasingly unhinged Remain fanatic James Chapman…the Times being very pro-Remain…..naturally this was meant to place a bit of distance between the BBC and the interview, the BBC however, as is its way, ‘reported’ on the interview and what was said…and we had weeks of stories about legal apocalypse cumulating in James Chapman’s old boss, George Osborne, printing front page alarmist stories about Brexit causing cancer and the end of Euratom…another part of Chapman’s Brexit scaremongering interview…and of course the BBC gleefully gave that all masses of publicity.
Not surprisingly Sam Coates turned up again this week on the BBC to discuss the ‘news’ that a document had been found at the Home Office that said Britain would be at the mercy of terrorists and criminals if we left the EU….but this had been suppressed during the referendum as it was too much like ‘project fear’ and would be unbelieveable. Hmmmm…this from a Remian campaign that said leaving the EU would end in world war three? Coates was sure we ‘would be more at risk’ if we leave the EU, he added that even if the document wasn’t used [lol] it would still be useful as a checklist to hold the government to account after Brexit….hmmm…so everytime a bomb goes off or a lorry ‘drives itself’ into some pedestrians it’s going to be the fault of Brexit!!?
The narrative that Remain decided not use the scare story just wasn’t true…the Remain campaign used that alarmist tale about terrorism and crime relentlessly as any google will show…perhaps that is why the ‘sensational revelation’ has died a death and we haven’t heard much about it after the first great reveal of its scoop by the BBC….or perhaps because the actual premise of the story is bunkum….one the British intelligence services are much better than the Europeans’ and two…er…we have much better border control…..as even this BBC report from 2016 points out…
EU referendum: The debate around counter-terrorism
Odd isn’t it how such ‘reality checks’ can be forgotten when convenient by the BBC?
Here’s the Remain camp ‘not’ scaremongering about terror and Brexit…
EU referendum: Leaving EU ‘big gamble’ for UK security
And look, here’s the utterly untrustworthy Remainer Keir Starmer in the Guardian…
Criminals and terrorists will rejoice if we leave the EU
Daily Mail trying to do what it does best, trying to silence those that challenge racism & sexism #StopFundingHate https://t.co/Yp40CBD7WJ

Nazty Naz Shah [so very in line with the BBC’s own values] has been trying to silence the free Press or at least intimidate and bully them into publishing only pro-Muslim material, apparently they are not allowed to print anything critical of Islam or Muslim behaviour if it is linked to their religion….she organised a letter attacking the Sun for pointing out there is a problem with Muslim men targeting white girls and she’s targeting the Mail by trying to stop companies working with it using the lefty site #StopFundingHate…naturally you stop ‘hate’ by hating those whom you hate….in this case ‘right-wing’ papers….
Stop Funding Hate’s focus is companies that advertise in The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express. It calls for them to pull their ads and urging customers to make clear their disapproval.
In the Mail’s case they are targeting Nectar…telling you to cut up your card and send it back to Nectar…
Dear @nectar ~
Why are you funding hate? #nectar #DailyFail #StopFundingHate pic.twitter.com/KpSG15oFPw— Sequin World ???????? (@ann_sequinworld) August 15, 2017
If you really want to stop funding hate I suggest you cut up your TV License and send half to your MP and half to Lord Hall Hall and inform them you will not be renewing it, the BBC being the most prolific and powerful spreader of hate and division out there as it hates whites, men, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, straight people, police, military, Tories, loathes UKIP, hates and abuses Leavers as stupid, bigoted racists and not forgetting the right-wing Press. However it does love terrorists, Muslim, Irish whomever as long as they are fighting ‘The West’ or ‘The Establishment’ or Jews. The BBC promotes an extremist open borders immigration policy regardless of the consequences, or in fact, possibly desiring the destabilising effects and conflicts that will arise [have arisen] as Western society is torn apart and destroyed by waves of migrants with absolutely no intention of integrating and conforming to the standards expected of them in order to maintain a cohesive and stable society.
The anti-Semitic [though you wouldn’t know it now listening to the BBC…fully rehabilitated there] Naz Shah demonstrates not just her own hypocrisy as she ‘challenges the Daily Mail’ claiming it is trying to silence those who challenge racism and sexism [hmm…Daily Mail has been at forefront of the campaign to expose Rotherham etc] but also shows she is of like-minds with the BBC as they try to, er, silence those who challenge racism and sexism……

Oh but wait….earlier she retweeted this message from what is in fact an Owen Jones parody site [none needed I would have thought]…..and it is real….just remember it was Naz Shah who organised that ‘outraged’ letter complaining about the Sun’s article that talked of a ‘Muslim problem’ in relation to sex attacks on white girls….
Naz Shah MP (Labour) retweeted @Owen_Jones84 :
RT @Owen_Jones84: @AreeqChowdhury @NazShahBfd Exactly Areeq, those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths…
The first thing the BBC likes to mention in any report on Islamic terrorism is that the perpetrators may be mentally ill.
Have you heard the BBC say a word about the car driver who drove into the counter-protestors…has the BBC ever mentioned in its bulletins that he was psychotic? Or that we should have sympathy for him as he was rejected by the army…for his psychotic medical history?
“Senior year, he was real gung-ho on joining the Army and . . . toward the end of the year found out that he was denied and it was because of a history of anti-psychotic, you know, medication that was prescribed,” he said.
What’s the best the BBC can come up with?
The newspaper also reports that while living in Florence, Kentucky, his mother called 911 at least nine times “to say she was fearful of and needed help with her sometimes violent son”.
According to “calls for service” records provided by the Florence Police Department to the Associated Press, Mrs Bloom said her son had stood behind her wheelchair wielding a long kitchen knife, and had hit her and locked her in a washroom after she told him to stop playing video games.
She also told officers that her son was on medication to help control his temper.
So not that he had mental health problems or was psychotic but he couldn’t ‘control his temper’… a slippery phrase which kind of makes it his fault….just an angry young man who beat his mother when he didn’t get his way.
Of course it was the same with the killer of Jo Cox. The BBC never mentioned his documented mental health problems in their bulletins when in comparison they repeatedly mention any Islamist terrorist’s supposed mental health issues.
If you’re white you’re a racist Nazi, if you’re brown you’re a victim in some shape or form…as Julie Burchill notes in the Spectator….
The right is now more colourblind than the left
Then I moved to London in the 1970s, I quickly became aware that the non-working-class Left operated what was best described as Paint-Chart Politics [PCP]– the further from white, the more likely you were to be right. This began in a small way, with reggae bands who believed stuff about women that would have had them condemned as fascist Neanderthals had they been white playing under the Rock Against Racism flag; in recent years, it has seen the Left support similar Islamist stone-agers just because they’re the right (Left) side of beige.
In more recent years, Paint-Chart Politics has been ruining the lives of even more children, though this time exclusively female ones as the police forces of Newcastle, Rotherham, Rochdale and Oxfordshire chose to turn a blind eye to the rape, torture and trafficking of thousands of girls simply because the men doing it were darker-skinned than their victims. As Sarah Champion – driven out of the shadow cabinet this week for daring to state the obvious case that this country has ‘a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls…because people are more afraid to be called a racist than they are afraid to be wrong about calling out child abuse’ – has proved, the messenger will be routinely shot for speaking plainly; far better to tie oneself in the knots the media is now entangled in where by fearing accusations of racism by naming the rapists as being of Pakistani origin, they have slandered a whole continent by repeatedly using the weasel word ‘Asian’.
How appropriate that PCP is also the name of a pesticide sometimes used as the recreational drug ‘angel dust’ whose side effects include paranoia, hallucinations, depersonalisation, detachment from reality and severe changes in body image (think of Rachel Dolezal, who was so obsessed with race that she pretended to be black.) If this week’s hounding of Sarah Champion is anything to go by, it’s unlikely that practitioners of this most pointless persuasion will come to their senses any time soon.
The BBC have nowt to say about Scottish ‘Nationalism’, it supports [as does Corbyn] IRA nationalist terrorism as well as Muslim supremacist terror, it is also remarkably accommodating when reporting on Catalonian asperations towards independence…you won’t find any sly allusions to Fascism, the Far-Right, or Nazis in this report unlike any the BBC files on UKIP…and not a murmur about concentration camps or ethnic cleansing that the BBC so often slips into its reporting about ‘Right-wing’ ‘independence activists’. What does a Catalonian ‘Fascist’ look like through the BBC lens?…
For Adrià Alsina Leal, professor of journalism and communications at the Central University of Catalonia and a Catalan independence activist, “solidarity is welcome from wherever it comes”.
Ah..an ‘independence activist’…sounds rather benign and left-wing doesn’t it? Not an ignorant, white, working class little Catalonian then with a hint of the Nazi about him? [Wonder how the BBC would react if Catalan wanted to secede from the EU…bit of a conflict there at the BBC editorial meeting] The BBC of course likes regions splitting off from the national as it breaks apart the nation state and makes the smaller independent regions then dependent, ironically, on the EU….The SNP a case in point…desperate to leave the oppressions suffered under Westminster for the sunny uplands of the EU superstate.
As for terrorism…well the real victims could well be Muslims…perhaps it is us that drives them to take up terrorism as a response….we must stop all this anti-terrorism activity…it just upsets the terrorists and makes them more terroristy….
Human rights activist Josep Maria Royo’s immediate response to the violence in Barcelona was to go on social media in an effort to calm people down.
“People were sharing images of their crime which showed children, blood, injured people,” he said.
“It’s easy to spread a message of hate against the Islamic population. We must stop these expressions of hate.”
While this was a moment for giving support to the victims, there had to be a rethink on how to combat terrorism, he said.
Mass surveillance and intensive use of the military and the police did not work, he argued. Instead, “human rights, tolerance and democracy” should be promoted.
“We are a city with a large number of immigrants, a city that wants to welcome refugees, a city that wants to offer a different model of response in the event of terrorism,” said Luca. “Now is a moment to think different.”
Sweet. Bonkers, mad, suicidal… but so sweet.
Why was Spain attacked? No idea…why was it Barcelona then?….
Why did they attack Barcelona, I asked.
“Because Barcelona is always in the papers,” she said. “When you’re a terrorist, no-one will pay attention if you attack a little village lost in the middle of nowhere, yes? But attack Barcelona and everyone is going to read about it.”
Hmmm…but again why Spain at all?
The Spectator points the way…..
If foreign policy isn’t to blame, could it be social deprivation, the other favourite excuse trotted out by apologists whenever there’s an Islamist attack in Europe?
For 700 years the Iberian peninsula belonged to Islam [after Muslims invaded] until the Reconquista drove out the last of the Muslim invaders in 1492.
This still rankles in the Islamic world with some scholars regarding 1492 as the year that Muslim influence began it inexorable decline. Osama Bin Laden made frequent references to the ‘tragedy of Andalusia’, and Al Qaeda justified the 2004 train bombings in Madrid that killed 191 people by saying ‘this is only part of the settlement of old scores with Crusader Spain’.
All this talk of ‘Crusaders’ and ‘invaders’ ignores one crucial historical fact. Who invaded who first? 1492 wasn’t about Christian imperialism, it was a reconquest of land subjugated by the Muslim invaders of seven hundred years earlier. But the Islamists never let the truth get in the way of a good Jihad.
Only one issue…the article fails to spell out fully that once a land is invaded by Muslims and held by them that land is forever considered ‘Muslim’. Hence Spain is still ‘Muslim’ and they have that duty to recapture it…hence no matter how you appease them they will still come….just as it is a Muslim’s duty to spread Islam and win converts in any land they are in and to, once they have sufficient numbers, make Islam the dominant religion and political ideology.
Learn this lesson or weep like a woman for what you could not, would not, defend as a man…..so un-PC on so many levels that.
The BBC’s Sarah Brett labelled Breitbart a Far-Right organisation saying its main followers were white supremacists. Whilst this may be the orthodox BBC liberal’s view, not only is it not true but even the BBC probably thinks Brett went too far in openly expressing such views as its usual description now is that Breitbart is ‘ultra-conservative’. Oddly dubious Muslim groups like the MCB, Cage, Mend or MPACUK are never described in such terms and in fact are treated with a grovelling reverence, their every word repeated with a degree of respect never given to respectable parties like UKIP or even the ultra mainstream Tories.
The BBC undermined its own claims yesterday as it fielded a media expert on the BBC news channel [not sure who he was as only saw last bit…1400 ish] who told us that Breitbart wasn’t about partisan reporting, it wasn’t an issue of neutrality…Breitbart was reporting what other news organisations don’t, or won’t, report…such as on immigration and Islam. He also gave us a clue as to why the BBC doesn’t like Breitbart. Not only does it reveal to the world facts the BBC would like kept hidden it is also in the top 30 of news providers on Facebook and something like 63rd in the US traffic ratings, which the commentator said made it a ‘leviathan’….with bigger reach than the BBC…75th in the US.
No wonder the BBC works so hard to malign this political rival just as it tried to destroy Murdoch and News Iinternational.
Good of the BBC to police the airwaves and decide who we can watch or listen to.
No irony that on the day we had the Islamic terror attacks in Spain the BBC were trying to tell us that Islamic extremists were ‘brainwashed’ victims and that we should be welcoming them into Europe…and they say Trump is a supporter of extremism!?
The Brainwashed teens fleeing to Europe
Identifying the worst affected is difficult enough. Treating them, stopping the nightmares and repairing the trauma will be costly and time-consuming. They have missed so much proper schooling that finding them jobs will be hard. And returning them to their faith, one that isn’t polluted by jihadist ideology, needs perseverance.
That might be enough to save them, to bring them back into their societies, to help Iraq and Syria rebuild. Treating those who have suffered and escaped to the West might stop them becoming criminals, or worse.
But all of that will be difficult and unpopular. And perhaps those experts of division and destruction, IS, always knew this.
After all, who would want to help a boy who wanted to be a suicide bomber?
Poor lads. Hmmm….wonder who they killed, raped and tortured whilst in Syria and Iraq. Don’t ask…it would be Islamophobic to ask if they have committed any warcrimes in the name of Allah.
On a similar note Bob Nelson in the comments notes that the BBC has failed to mention that the Antifa attackers both in Charlottesville and Boston were thought to have had acid in their arsenal of weapons that they used to shut down free speech…no irony that a free speech rally is silenced by their intimidation and violence or threat of….
American police had feared radical bands of counter-protesters were adding acid to their arsenal of extreme violence as they tried to disrupt far Right rallies and protests.
As free speech campaigners and counter-protesters gathered in Boston for the latest potential flashpoint on Saturday, officers said they were worried militants were armed with acid.
“We think it’s what they had in Charlottesville,” said one policeman, dressed all in black and equipped with a body camera, referring to violence last weekend in Virginia. “They are using hydrochloric acid or battery acid.
“Their tactic now seems to be to cause so much trouble that the event just gets shut down before it can even begin.”
…………………………………………………
Remember this is the BBC that only last week or so were giving a huge amount of coverage to criminal moped gangs throwing acid at people…but if it’s done in a ‘good cause’ it seems the BBC look the other way. [The BBC did of course blame the Tories for the rise in acid attacks ‘since 2010’.]
Freedom of speech or freedom to throw acid in people’s faces…which one do you think a BBC journalist should be supporting if they are to support anything?
At the moment it looks like they support acid throwing left-wing terrorists….they accuse Trump of being a white supremacist because he was ‘silent’ about the KKK etc [except of course he wasn’t…he just denounced all violence at Charlottesville]…thus by the same standard the BBC’s silence on the acid means they condone such behaviour and support the terrorists.
When it was announced Big Ben was being silenced for four years I thought it was a story about James Chapman…perhaps he’d been neutered until Brexit was over and his madness suppressed. Apparently though Big Ben is a big clock not a big cock. Just why does the BBC give him so much airtime and his ravings so much coverage and credence? Instead of telling us the very, very significant news that most poeple want to get on with Brexit and want a ‘hard Brexit’, ie Brexit, they preferred to report thaat there was a new political party being set up…to oppose Brexit …by our friend Chopper Chappers.
Also…
And
And…the orchestrated BBC/Times pro-EU anti-Brexit hit job usng Chapman as the lethal weapon….
Explosive stuff from @jameschappers. And a great #WeekinWestminster debut by @SamCoatesTimes. Tune in 11am @BBCRadio4. https://t.co/ocLgIj21L9

Guido takes a look at Chapman’s descent into anti-Brexit lunacy aided no doubt by the BBC’s enouragement and seal of approval.
If there’s one cliché question that people associate with media training, it’s this one: “When did you stop beating your wife?”
It’s offered as an example of an (almost) impossible question to answer well, since most people will look guilty when they deny the charge. Imagine, for example, that Senator Smith answers the question by saying:
“I’m offended by that. I never beat my wife, and how dare you suggest that.”
The banner headline will inevitably be dreadful, something like:
“SENATOR SMITH: ‘I NEVER BEAT MY WIFE’”
The rather hopeless Emma Barnett who bluffs and blusters her way through interviews, getting lucky sometimes as a politician self-implodes due to a failure to prepare rather than her skill as an interviewer [she failed to really skewer Shadow International Trade minister Bill Esterson on the customs union even though as Guido says ‘He is completely clueless, completely out of his depth, unable to answer the simplest of questions, scrabbling about looking at his notes, completely unfit for the job.’ She knew she had something but got overexcited at the smell of blood and couldn’t think it through and formulate the killer question…still, Esterson helped her out going over the cliff edge without being pushed] , asks if Trump is racist or is he just trying to appeal to his Base?…his ‘Base’ who according to the BBC are racist being apparently all white and working class. So Trump is either a racist or a supporter of racists…and therefore racist. Hmmm…isn’t that in fact racism from the BBC?, the same racism it displays here in the UK towards Leave voters who are all tarred with the same ‘racist’ brush merely because they are white. Naturally the picture is far more complicated than the BBC wants you to know…voters for Trump and Leave were a very mixed bag politically, socially and racially.
Did the BBC ask if Obama was an Islamist, or even a Muslim, when he, not just said there might be two sides to any story, but actually supported the one side that was doing the violence when he said ‘The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam’…what by saying the Islamists are Muslims doing Allah’s work? Clearly they were…read the Koran.
Then we have the BBC itself eihter sayng there is no blame for Muslim terrorism or that the West’s behaviour drove Muslims to act in this way…Muslims, Muslims acting out the violence not just standersby, are the real victims here…
Mark Mardell famously denied that Major Nidal Hassan murdered 13 fellow soldiers in the name of Islam, that the murders were rather a ‘senseless tragedy’…
‘The alleged murderer was clearly a Muslim, but there is very little to suggest that he adhered to a hard-line interpretation of his religion or that he had political or religious motives.
Still, searching for patterns and for answers is part of what it is to be human. I loathe cliche, but perhaps, for once, this is a “senseless tragedy”, devoid of deeper meaning.’
Justin Webb & Co on the Today show insisted that all the evidence pointed towards the Boston bombing being done by white supremacists when there was no evidence of that at all…just the BBC covering up for Islam.
Then we have Tim Wilcox making excuses for the murder of Jews in Europe by Muslims….Israel commits such bad war ciimes against the Palestinians that Jews around the world must expect revenge attacks on them….
Remember Jeremy Bowen claiming that the Muslim Brotherhood were moderates?….’The country’s only properly organised mass political movement outside the ruling party is the Muslim Brotherhood, and it would do very well in any free election. Unlike the jihadis, it does not believe it is at war with the West. It is conservative, moderate and non-violent. But it is highly critical of Western policy in the Middle East. ’
Remember Mark Easton favourably comparing Muslim extremists with Churchill, Mandela and Ghandi?….’There is, it seems to me, an inherent contradiction between banning orders and the core British value that one should be tolerant of different viewpoints. History tells us that the development of new ideas of governance and government require people to think radically. Extreme views are necessary to test the wisdom of the mainstream.
Remember Hugh Sykes telling us that Cologne was a Far Right conspiracy?….‘There are conspiracy theories in the air that the New Year’s Eve attackers were encouraged to make sexual approaches to German women, told that it was the normal thing to do on New Year’s Eve. If true, they may have fallen into a well-laid trap.’
Remember the BBC report that said Cologne was an IS conspiracy? …’Some analysts have suggested that IS has encouraged a link between refugees and terrorism in order to foster hostility to refugees in Europe, although it is not known if the latest attack was carried out in co-ordination with the IS leadership in Iraq and Syria.’
Trump didn’t cheerlead or excuse white supremacists, he just said there was violence on all sides, as there was, and that the Media should make note of that.
What is happening is that the violent left are claiming the moral high ground and saying their attacks are justifiable in a fight against ‘Fascism’…and yet they are the true Fascists whose real purpose is to silence all opponents by fear, violence or the indirect method of bullying government, companies [such as internet providers], academia and the media into only accepting one narrative as ‘acceptable’…..all else must be silenced.
Unfortunately it seems to be working to a massive extent and the left wing extremists have a stranglehold on the Establishment which dares not oppose them even slightly for fear of being called racist and a supporter of Fascism and white supremacy.
It should be the BBC’s duty to stand up to such people…and yet it supports them and spreads their narrative…see above video with Emma Barnett…who ‘as a Jew’ should know better as she gives support to people who are the most anti-Semitic…left-wing and Muslim extremists, whereas bad old Trump supports Israel to the hilt.
