Life changing events?  How to cope with them?  Who to ask?

The BBC chooses Brendan Cox and a survivor of the 7/7 attacks….out of all the survivors they manage to pick a Muslim, one who runs the Jan Trust which teaches that Muslims are right to be angry about the West’s involvement in world affairs [Muslim] and of course about Israel…get angry it says but don’t be violent….deradicalising, anti-extremism…or the opposite?….

British survivors of terror attacks are coming together to offer a new voice for survivors. “Survivors against Terrorism” will campaign for policies to tackle the causes of attacks, and we’re speaking to two of the founders: Brendan Cox, husband of murdered MP, Jo Cox, and Sadja Mughal, who was in the next carriage down from one of the 7/7 bombers, when he detonated his device in London in 2005.

I imagine ‘Survivors against Terrorism’ is going to be a highly political, pretty one-sided affair that tells us the real threat is right-wing extremism and that the Government’s Prevent strategy is failing and is alienating Muslims….the two founders being a very political lefty and a Muslim.  The ‘steering group’ seems weighted against the ‘Right’ with Cox, Mughal, Mike Haines who travels the country lecturing about the wonders of  unity and the horrors of hate crime [right-wing] despite his brother being beheaded in Islam’s name and Dan Hett [ex-BBC] whose main concern is the Far-Right despite his brother being killed in the Manchester bombing.

Can’t find any mention of this on the BBC despite all their concern about sexual abuse…and in light of Cox’s own pious preachings….

Murdered MP Jo Cox’s husband was reported to police over sex assault claim in Harvard bar – nine months before his wife’s death

A new charity sex scandal erupted last night after it emerged that the husband of murdered Labour MP Jo Cox was once accused of groping a senior US government official.

The woman reported Brendan Cox to American police, claiming he assaulted her late at night at Harvard University – although Mr Cox strongly denies the allegation.

Her complaint came soon after Mr Cox quit as a senior executive with the Save The Children in 2015 following separate claims of inappropriate behaviour towards staff.

Mr Cox declined to comment last night, but his lawyers said he denies the ‘spurious allegations’ and says no sexual assault took place.

Take look at this article from the BBC….shame such slanted tosh comes from the respected RUSI…no surprise the BBC is pushing it….co-authored by Raffaello Pantucci and Dr Mohammed Elshimi….looks like ‘Mo’ may  have had a bit too much influence….commissioned by the BBC…’Co-authored with colleague Mo again, this one focuses on extreme right wing terrorism and its particular expression through lone actors for the BBC.’…..

The clues right-wing terrorists give away

They present this as if it is a major and extensive problem…

Plans to kill by lone individuals such as these have been a persistent feature of the extreme right wing for many years.

It’s a long article in which the first bit is running through some basic groundwork but then we get onto the real message..

None of this paints a picture of particularly sophisticated terrorist plots, or networks, in particular among those on the extreme right.

Rather, it suggests isolated individuals acting out an extreme ideology – and, in most cases, this has been the nature of the plots.

Potentially more worrying for the UK is the emergence of a more organised extreme right wing, with the recent banning of the neo-Nazi group National Action, for example.

Yep, National Action, a tiny group of like-minded souls who get absolutely no traction in mainstream society….unlike Muslim terrorists whose motivations and ideology get widespread support in their own community though most Muslims will say they are against the violent expression of that…as with the Jan Trust.   The communities that feed on conspiracy theories and widespread acceptance of the narrative that the West is attacking ‘Islam’, a narrative that the BBC pushes relentlessly and gives credibility to, are the breeding ground for the terrorists…and help recruit active members, those who facilitate their actions and those who stand by with silent approval doing nothing to stop them.

Here’s the meat and potatoes of the article with a clear attempt to cast the net as wide as possible and implicate anyone who says anything critical of Islam, extreme liberalism or even Marxism bizarrely….

Across the continent, the ideology around far-right extremists is varied and diverse, but some common threads can be found.

Racial “purity” is often highlighted, as are claims that the world is run by powerful elites, including Marxists, liberals and Jews.

Some minority groups are presented as posing a threat to European culture and society.

Er…The Western world is run by liberals…to its great cost in many cases….and some minority groups are presented as a threat to European culture and society…because they are a threat so radically opposed to Western society are they….and the minority groups include Marxists.  Many ‘liberals’, they who see the promotion of interationalism, globalisation [and paradoxically anti-capitalism] and open borders are pretty much aligned with the Marxists as we see with the great and the good at the BBC championing Corbyn.

And here’s the usual refusal to accept any criticism as valid, presumably ‘xenophobic beliefs’ are those criticising Muslims behaving badly ‘in the name of Allah’ and those arguing to control immigration, with the claim that it gives licence to violent extremists and thus is a danger to the glorious multicultural society we live in….so close it down…this is pure Muslim/left wing propaganda trying to control and police what can be said…..

The continued existence of such people – often drawing on the ideology of a more organised extreme right wing, or the xenophobic beliefs of a vocal minority – has a damaging effect on society, causing frictions between communities and tearing at our social fabric.

Not only do their actions hurt those caught up in attacks, but they can drive others on the extreme right, as well violent Islamists – who use the sense of a divided society to justify their actions.

It is easy to simply dismiss Osborne and Stables as pathetic losers angry at society.

But they represent a broader trend that has worrying potential ramifications for the United Kingdom.

Did I really hear Alistair Campbell on Chiles tell us that the IRA were actually really nice chaps and that the real problem is that we have created a misleading characterisation of them, we have invented the stories about them that label them as terrorists?  Might have just been the drains burbling away venting off gaseous vapours.

Chiles was on form today as he chopsed on about May and her interview which she did with a 13 year old…entirely uneventful and not a thing controversial or newsworthy and yet Chiles went off the deep end claiming it all went downhill after a while.  May answering a question about whether she liked Bake Off or Strictly was her sitting on the fence avoiding the answer…apparently not wanting to offend Bake Off or Strictly fans in case they might vote for her.  Yes Adrian, we’re all agog about that question…never mind the economy or Brexit.  Another question asking if she had a pet supposedly received a macabre reply….May had a dog, it got run over and lost a leg.  Dreadful, shocking, traumatizing….and of course macabre.  Chiles was clearly on dinner party mode and thought he was back home with his BBC chums all chortling about the simple pastoral Maybot when not being witty about Trump.

Chiles for all his right-on, dyed-in-the-wool BBC credentials does let some things slip occasionally that are totally at odds with the orthodoxy.  A week or so ago he admitted that when he was back in the homeland, Brum, and he spoke to a lot of Black and Asian people, they said they had voted for Brexit in order to limit the number of East Europeans coming here…so two things there….as we know the lie about Brexit voters all being white, old and racist is just that, a lie, and two if the Whites are racist in the BBC’s eyes then why is the BBC not saying the same about the BAME Brexit voters?

Chiles also admitted that his London friends thought Leave voters were too stupid to be allowed to vote.  Chiles said he didn’t like that sort of attitude from Remainers…however his two guests, Remainers, just ploughed on slagging off Leave voters and he said nothing.

Maybe Chiles is a bit disgruntled as he is shunted to the Friday spot and is rebelling by letting the inconvenient truths out bit by bit. If the BBC eventually relegates him to the dead zone at 3 AM what will he say?  Maybe brilliant and hard hitting but will anyone be listening?  Perhaps that is the idea…when a presenter gets a bit too old and starts turning right politically, as people do apparently, shunt them out of the way where there’s no one to listen to their heresy….or no one that matters…it’s all thick lorry drivers and working class shift workers…uneducated, bigoted, racist peasants.

Trump says the NHS is in crisis and British politicians, doctors, media types all rushed to its defence saying that it is the best health service in the world doing wonderful work for half  the money of the US system….and we thought the NHS was in a crisis…have to stop listening to the BBC….and clearly money doesn’t therefore bring you a better NHS.  No?

Also the Mail had Trump with his hair going feral splashed across its frontpage yesterday.  Distinct lack of outrage from our moral guardians about the hated Mail abusing people for their looks or for trivialising politics and endangering democracy as the Mail obviously did when it got the scoop on ‘Legs-It’ and got sent to the naughty corner, over to the far right, by Aunty.

Spot any more Trumpophobia [how long have you got?] note it all here…..

“It’s quite reductionist,” she tells me firmly, “to call them ‘jihadi brides’. They’re facilitators, logisticians, propagandists. There’s more to these women socially, politically, psychologically, culturally, that we don’t understand and that we need to understand.”

'My Return from IS' will not be broadcast as planned. We have made this decision for duty of care reasons following discussions with contributors to the programme.

— Panorama ???? (@BBCPanorama) February 5, 2018

Panorama has pulled, seemingly indefinitely, its film called ‘My Return from IS’ which would have told ‘the story of a British woman who is back in the UK after living with so-called Islamic State in Syria for more than two years before managing to escape with the help of her mother. She was arrested, but after extensive debriefing by counterterrorist officers the CPS decided there were no grounds for prosecution. `Fatima’ tells Panorama reporter Peter Taylor how the group has hijacked Islam, with men acting as cannon fodder and women used for cooking, cleaning and giving birth.’

As you might imagine it was most likely going to be a puff piece that portrayed the ‘Jihadi Brides’ as naive and well-meaning victims and the men as brave, if deluded, defenders of Islam under attack from Western aggression, men who didn’t understand the true, peaceful nature of Islam and who believed, wrongly, that they were carrying out its commands.   Naturally that is a picture the BBC has always wanted to peddle but even a Muslim expert on radicalisation doesn’t accept that saying the Jihadi Brides were far more willing and active than the likes of the BBC would have you believe telling us “It’s quite reductionist,” she tells me firmly, “to call them ‘jihadi brides’. They’re facilitators, logisticians, propagandists. There’s more to these women socially, politically, psychologically, culturally, that we don’t understand and that we need to understand.”

The question stands though as to why the BBC pulled the programme?  It tells us that it spoke to contributors to the programme and made the decision to cancel based upon ‘duty of care considerations’ but not expanding upon that.

You have to think that this may be related to the Darren Osborne terror attack at Finsbury Park and is a reaction to the news that the BBC drama ‘Three Girls’ was the catalyst for his descent into radicalisation….though why the programe wasn’t called ‘1,400 Girls’ is beyond me.  Good I suppose that the BBC admits, in a very roundabout way, that its programme was in its way responsible for the attack because the BBC otherwise has signally failed to admit that its coverage was ‘the catalyst’ preferring to blame the Far-Right, social media and Tommy Robinson, who had little to absolutely nothing to do with the attack.  The BBC was absolutely right to show the film, if years too late and an exercise in trying to make itself appear to be a leading campaigner against the abuse, when in fact it had covered it up for years….one of its own journalists admitting that he knew what was going on and asking why the police did nothing…but not thinking to ask why he himself failed to break the story which would have forced the police and authorities to act.

Douglas Murray in the Spectator believes the BBC may retreat back into those old ways of covering up crimes and other unpleasant behaviour by Muslims because it fears to report them may lead to anti-Muslim anger.

Will the BBC go back to ignoring grooming gangs?

For the best part of a decade the BBC – like most other mainstream media – chose to ignore the issue of the northern Muslim grooming gangs. They didn’t know any of the victims, didn’t know the towns and somewhere along the way (subliminally or otherwise) made the decision that all this was just too horrible and delicate a story to wade into.

I know what people at the BBC and elsewhere will be thinking. Perhaps this vindicates the silence of all those years. Perhaps the public cannot be trusted. Perhaps they are indeed the sort of people who have in their midst people on a hair-trigger who are willing to hire trucks and drive them into crowds of people at a moment’s notice. Perhaps the censorship and silence were after all a good idea? Personally I happen to think not. But nobody should be surprised if the BBC reverts to ignoring crimes like Rochdale in the future.

Matti Freidman in the Atlantic notes a similar attitude when reporting about Israel as the reporters choose to side with the Palestinians….’This group of intelligent and generally well-meaning professionals ceased to be reliable observers and became instead an amplifier for the propaganda of one of the most intolerant and aggressive forces on earth.’

Orwell spelt it out years ago….“The argument that to tell the truth would be ‘inopportune’ or would ‘play into the hands of’ somebody or other is felt to be unanswerable, and few people are bothered by the prospect that the lies which they condone will get out of the newspapers and into the history books.”

That is precisely the BBC’s attitude.  They believe that reporting such events ‘play into the hands of the Far-Right’ and thus should be censored and suppressed.  But that attitude sacrificed 1,400 girls to the Muslim predators that groomed, raped and abused them under the noses of the media and authorities who held back from acting due to concerns about race and religion.  It also of course does in the end serve to bolster the Far-Right as the story becomes massive and very toxic in a way that it never would have done if it had been nipped in the bud so many years, and so many victims, earlier.  The censorship creates the very thing it is meant to stop…just as the media’s attempts to silence voices on immigration lead to the rise of the Far-Right across Europe as most other people are intimidated by the ‘liberal’ intolerance of their views and the labelling of them as racists making life for them very difficult.

The BBC has in fact been slipping back into its bad old ways of suppressing or indeed rewriting history in order to change people’s perceptions by providing an alternate truth, alternate facts.  Reports of a Trojan Horse plot by Muslim conservatives to take over and Islamise secular schools was  fully backed up by the evidence and several investigations and yet the BBC ignored or downplayed its existence when the story first broke and suppressed crucial evidence that confirmed that such attempts to Islamise schools were in fact official MCB policy as revealed in its 2007 guidance document to schools, drawn up by the same man at the heart of the Trojan Horse plot, that tried to pressurise schools into Islamising their curriculum, buildings and activities…in order to make schools more Islam friendly so that Muslim pupils could fully follow their beliefs and would feel more integrated…and thus, the implicit threat, would not feel alienated, marginalised and angry which may lead to radicalisation, extremism and terror.

The BBC always reported the plot as if it was something made up by Islamophobes and that the letter which outlined the plot was a hoax.  The BBC’s Phil Mackie insisted that it was just fantasy, created by paranoid, racist Islamophobes…

Despite the plot having been proven the BBC is now working to discredit the story and you may hear several programmes that look at the subject and revise the facts the suit the BBC’s own agenda telling us that the letter was definitely a hoax and that there was no plot.

Recent events of course show why that narrative is not only wrong but dangerous as Islamists force a school to bow to pressure and Islamise itself.

Religious extremists are using schools to narrow children’s horizons and “pervert education”, England’s chief inspector of schools has warned.

Amanda Spielman said some community leaders see schools as vehicles to “indoctrinate impressionable minds” – with extremist ideology in some cases.

Ofsted inspectors are increasingly coming into contact with such extremists, she said.

She is asking head teachers to confront those who foster extremist behaviour.

The BBC naturally sides with those who would surrender to the extremists…‘is it the role of a head teacher to dictate who should and who should not be allowed to wear such an item? Even if they are in charge of uniform policies. By calling on head teachers to exercise a “muscular liberalism” in the face of ultra-conservative forces, she may yet stir up more opposition than she anticipated.’

Yep, let’s not make the extremists angry….do what they want us to do and all will be peaceful….and Kirsty Wark thinks ‘there may be a danger you conflate [islamic] conservatism with extremism’…Muslim of course, as the BBC always conflates conservatism, the blue kind, with extremism.  However, Muslim conservatism is extremism in the context of any Western society…completely at odds with our values and beliefs.

The Trojan Horse Plot is true and the BBC reaction is the same old one of trying to suppress the truth in the vain hope of keeping the peace…..not realising that the extremists will never rest and that every appeasement just emboldens them to keep on demanding more….and of course there may well be a counter-reaction all the more violent as it has been suppressed for so long.

As mentioned above, it does seem that this is the true nature of BBC journalism now…

‘This group of intelligent and generally well-meaning professionals ceased to be reliable observers and became instead an amplifier for the propaganda of one of the most intolerant and aggressive forces on earth.’

'My Return from IS' will not be broadcast as planned. We have made this decision for duty of care reasons following discussions with contributors to the programme.

— Panorama ???? (@BBCPanorama) February 5, 2018

Panorama have pulled a programme called ‘My Return from InSanity’…apparently it is about Anna Soubry’s retreat from loony radical extremism back into the fold of moderate politics but she has vehemently denied it was her…ah, no, my mistake…that was just me thinking she had once deserted the Tories for the SDP…which she claims is “a terrible lie that is put about”.  Hmmmm…Marxism Today in 1981 seemed pretty sure she did defect to the SDP…

In August there was the defection of eight prominent Tory ex-students, including three recent ex-chairmen of the Federation of Conservative Students from the period of co-operation with the left.  With rather rabid Thatcherites now in control of the FCS, the large minority of Tory students who voted for one of the defectors, Anna Soubry, for the post of chairman (sic) last year — she only lost by 119 votes to 128 — will be tempted to follow them. The defecting wets had planned to make a bigger splash at the beginning of this academic year, but their plans were leaked, and they had to go early.

Not as if she has changed since then…always ready to abandon her party and her principles if she thinks it serves her own purpose….looking to create a new party last year that would dump Brexit….

Anna Soubry was still more positive about a new party, arguing: “If it could somehow be the voice of a moderate, sensible, forward-thinking, visionary middle way, with open minds – actually things which I’ve believed in all my life – better get on with it.”

Soubry always looks and sounds like someone who has had a finger shoved up her bum and she doesn’t like it…still, she had her fans back in the day….one who also sheds more light on the SDP ‘mystery’…

When she was 22, [she] attended a conference held by the Federation of Conservative Students in Liverpool, where the 19-year-old Paul Goodman, who was badly hung over, witnessed her performance:

“The debate droned on.  My eyelids drooped downwards.  Then what appeared to be a small nuclear explosion took place in the general vicinity of the microphone.  A young woman wearing skintight jeans was addressing what Sir Edward Boyle once called the only intelligent audience in the Conservative Party.  My eyelids lifted up.  She was shouting vigorously.  The conference was shouting back…

I was transfixed.  Less by the quality of the argument (if that’s the right way of describing what was taking place) than by the gorgeous pouting allure of the speaker.  To my youthful imagination, her primal rage suggested Helen of Troy getting down and dirty. How had she managed to get those jeans on?  Would I be able to get them off?…. she was then, by Conservative standards, very left-wing indeed….She hung around for a bit in the Party – I recall reading that at one conference she declared “Knickers to the TUC”, the kind of detail which my memory clings to – before vanishing from view. The cause was not so much her dalliance with the SDP (she only returned to the Conservatives after the 2001 election defeat)“

The answer to the second of these questions turned out to be “No”, as he admitted on recalling the occasion in a piece for ConHome published in 2011. But Soubry, as he realised, was a woman to watch.

Maybe to watch out for.

So people around her at the time seem to think she did join the SDP….is she a liar?

The BBC don’t care, they give her every utterance top billing as long as she attacks Boris, JRM and Brexit.

Tory MP Victoria Atkins fled Twitter due to the abuse she received and the BBC immediately headlined its bulletins with this breaking news….the same BBC that helped do so much to encourage the abuse of and disrespect for politicians, not only with its satire but with the vicious demonisation of Thatcher and Tories in general….and now it’s Trump in the firing line…literally.  Much as the body parts of long departed Saints are paraded around the country the ghost of Jo Cox is resurrected by any politician wanting to impart how serious their own situation is, a bit of Jo Cox martyrdom gives a lovely bit of credence to their claims of living on death row as the looming threat of the Twitter mob darkens their lives.  No mention of Stephen Timms being stabbed by a Muslim of course as this would distract from the narrative of a nasty bunch of fascist Brexiteers murdering all who oppose them.  No mention that there is absolutely nothing new about death threats and attacks on politicians…not just threats of course….the BBC’s, and Corbyn’s favourite terrorists, tried to kill the whole Tory government in the Grand Hotel as well as many other attacks.

Ah well, let’s just forget history, or rewrite it if it’s too inconvenient for today’s narratives and agendas.

Spot the BBC trying to write the future….list it here…..

This perfectly illustrates the bubble BBC journos live in as the People’s Republic of Islington inhabitant Daniel Sandford seeks a bit of love and sympathy for his problems…imposed by his Labour council based upon the green climate change agenda as promoted and championed by his own employer….not a lot of love forthcoming in the comments…lol…

Islington’s new diesel surcharge means that when there is no space in residents bays on our street we have to pay almost £5 to park for 23 mins. This is parking we have already paid for.remember.

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) February 5, 2018

Then again he doesn’t get a lot of love for this daft comment either…considering it was a BBC programme that was the catalyst for Osborne’s radicalisation as told by the police…[H/T Guest Who]

Though of course the most recently convicted terrorist, Darren Osborne, was a keen Tommy Robinson follower https://t.co/gQxWcCiJ5t

In a world of his own.

One has to laugh doesn’t one?  The BBC rattle on about abuse on social media and it has to sack one of its own for wishing death upon Zac Goldsmith…

BBC Sack Zac Threat Presenter

The BBC has sacked a radio presenter who told Tory MP Zac Goldsmith that a death threat sent to an 80 year-old Brexit-supporting constituent “should have been addressed to you”.

Then again the BBC is not too eager to delve into who it is that is dishing out most of the abuse on social media to politicians even as May threatens new laws to curb such abuse telling us it is a threat to democracy.   Would have thought the real threat to democracy were the mobs of Corbyn supporters and hard-left activists who use violence, intimidation and mass disorder to disrupt not only lawful debates and discussions but also to attempt to close down businesses that they do not like…this is verging on terrorism and is a very real threat to democracy and social stability.

Whilst not looking too closely at the activities of Corbyn’s Momentum stormtroopers the BBC doesn’t bother itself with the Remoaner’s ‘Forlorn Hope’ of door kickers, Dementum, whose mission it is in life to say the most abusive things they can about Leave voters and Brexiteer politicians in the fading hope that the resultant headlines will somehow persuade everyone to come aboard their rapidly sinking ship.

Something of a mystery that May claims abuse is putting people off becoming politicians when it is high profile politicians who are more often than not just as guilty as anyone else….and indeed BBC journalists who aren’t shy with their thoughts about Leave voters being stupid, old, uneducated, racist little Englanders who have made Britain a nastier and more racist place….and of course not a few commentators and indeed politicians have expressed the wish for the old Leave voters to die quickly.

Impartial civil servants prove their impartiality with very uncivil comments about Brexiteers….calling them ’emotional nutcases’, ‘completely crazy snakeoil salesmen’, ‘rabid brexiteers’ and ‘Nazis’.  Yes, I’m sure every Treasury leak is pure accident and the documents absolutely fair and irreproachably impartial in their assessments on Brexit.

Then of course there are the actual politicians who deride Brexiteers as ‘swivel-eyed loons’, “elderly retired men” without mortgages or young children’,  wreckers, mentally ill, as well as the usual disparaging insults about being uneducated, stupid, bigoted, racist, not caring about children’s futures, old and wanting to recreate a mythical past where Britain was all white.

Then there’s Matthew Parris who is in a class of his own….he dishes out the usual insults as above and does so relentlessly and with abandon….but his favourite meme is that Leave voters shouldn’t be allowed to vote…they are just too stupid…but here’s his latest….Brexiteers are insane zealots…..hmmm…so zealous that they don’t actually believe in what they are doing…thus they are also liars…..yes, can’t quite work out the logic but here, you have a go…..

This is the same Parris who said this about voters in Clacton….

“Clacton is going nowhere. It’s voters are going nowhere, it’s rather sad, and there’s nothing more to say.”

“This is Britain on crutches. This is tracksuit and- trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain.

“I am not arguing we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton.

“But I am arguing – if I am honest – we should be careless of their opinions.”

Pretty much sums up the attitude of the Remoaners whose contemptuous arrogance and disregard for the people of Britain is blatantly apparent in everything they say.  Good job we have the stalwart, honest and impeccably impartial BBC to hold them to account and to bring light and truth to the matter of Brexit.

Why has everyone forgotten about male suffrage?

While the story of female suffrage is taught at school from a young age, few people today know the long and gruesome history of how men won the right to vote, says Neil Lyndon

There is a reason why our view of this history is as biased, one-sided and prejudiced as the account of the Eighth Route Army that was taught to Chinese children under Mao.

The reason is that the whole truth is extremely inconvenient. It conflicts with the dominant feminist narrative which portrays women as the victims of repressive men, from whom liberation and progress had to be wrested by militant uprising. The true history of votes for women, however, is not a story of sex war but of a continuous progress of electoral reform over a century from 1832-1928 in which women’s suffrage was only one element.

It is also true that, as a whole, that complete story does credit both to Britain and to men whose memory deserves our continuing honour, compassion and respect.

Listening to Emma Barnett and Co enthusiastically championing the Suffragettes and ‘votes for women’ remarkably there seemed to be no mention that millions of men didn’t have the vote either…..which kind of puts a spoke in the BBC narrative that not giving women the vote was a political ploy to keep them alone oppressed and in the kitchen.

The Representation of the People Act 1918 gave the vote to 8 million women and over 5 million men….5 million men whom the BBC seems to have pretty much forgotten today.

The whole BBC narrative is one of men suppressing women but ignores the fact that it had less to do with gender and more to do with economics, who worked, who had money and property and who, they thought, had a real stake in the country and thus should be allowed to vote….and keep them in power.

Barnett otherwise was on form as usual…just why we had Juliet Stevenson, lovey actor, on I’m not sure….Labour supporter, pro-immigration and pro-Remain.

There was also Tory Victoria Atkins who has fled Twitter due to the abuse she gets…which immediately made the BBC headlines.  Barnett though berated her for being in a Tory Party propped up by the DUP [called ‘backward and unpleasant’ by Muslim Mishal Husain for its Christian beliefs…LOL]…because that is ‘an issue’.  The DUP are, according to Barnett, ‘uncomfortable bedfellows’ due to their opposition to gay marriage and being anti-choice as Barnett put it….a cuddly bit of spin meaning anti-abortion.    Does she say the same thing about Muslim or Catholic MPs?  Does she berate the Pope who is equally against such issues.

Of course not…it is only ‘an issue’ because the DUP are ‘propping up’ the hated Tories and keeping Brexit on track.  The mass murdering IRA the BBC has no problem with….nor with Corbyn who was vocal in his support for them…and indeed them for him it seems now.

Labour’s Jess Phillips received a much warmer welcome with no difficult questions.  All a bit of a love in today.  Despite a programme dedicated to women’s issues and examining the abuse female politicians get Barnett didn’t raise any questions about Corbyn, Momentum and Phillips’ life under that regime despite headlines like this from last year….

Jess Phillips: ‘Labour under Corbyn feels like I’ve been locked out of my home’

When Jess Phillips said that the misogyny she received from left-wing men was the “absolute worst” they quickly proved her point. Last week the Labour MP’s Twitter feed flowed with “men telling me I didn’t understand sexism, that I deserved it, that I was fat, ugly, that I was probably on my period”.

Just another Muslim playing the victim and the Islamophobia card.

Sue at Is the BBC biased? noted that a Muslim had written a piece in the Guardian, where else BBC beside?, claiming that no-one had called the attack by Darren Osborne a ‘terror attack’.  His starting point was a Times report…

Why was the accused, Darren Osborne, described as a “jobless lone wolf”? Why was he not immediately branded a terrorist, as violent extremist Islamists are?

Well firstly the immediate thing to see on the Times report was this….

Jobless ‘lone wolf’ Darren Osborne held over attack on Finsbury Park mosque

Not sure how our Muslim agitator could have missed that unless he wanted to.  Nor could he miss the fact that just about everyone called the attack a ‘terror attack’….just google ‘Darren Osborne terrorist’ and you’ll find plenty of reports doing so from the time of the attack….

Police now treating London van incident outside mosque as a “terrorist incident”.

Our friend claims…

The Finsbury Park attack is a painful crystallisation of the recent atmosphere of Islamophobia, leaving no room for dispute regarding the immediacy or gravity of this scourge.

In fact the attack was a reaction to the rape and abuse of 1400 white girls by Muslim men and numerous terrorist attacks in this country.  It resulted purely from what Osborne himself saw and read about very real events that actually happened not the result of some fake, anti-Muslim stories created to stir up trouble.  The catalyst, as told by the police, was a truthful exposé of events in Rochdale by the BBC and then the bombing in Manchester and other attacks.  The real cause of this attack, the real scourge, are the various attacks carried out by Muslims which turned Osborne’s mind towards his own terror attack in revenge.

What this article is really about is making excuses for Muslim terrorists whom the author wants to explain away as ‘mentally ill’ claiming that calling someone a terrorist and someone else mentally ill is so unfair…

These discrepancies only fuel Islamophobia further, insidiously promoting division.

It’s the usual Islamist trick of claiming a false victimhood and telling us it creates anger and fuels radicalisation in the victimised Muslim community and of course attempting to blame everything in the mythical ‘Islamophobia’ in an effort to attack all critics of Islam and Muslim behaviour and to persuade the authorities to give Muslims a privileged and favoured status in society….the end game to blackmail them into allowing Muslims to live in an entirely parallel legal and cultural system based  upon Islamic values and laws….not to allow this would only make Muslims angry and marginalised and result in radicalisation and terrorism.
