I thought this was interesting;  “Kenyan officials say they are in the final stages of bringing to an end the deadly stand-off with suspected al-Shabab militants at the Westgate shopping complex in Nairobi.” Erm, not quite. Kenyan officials refer to them as terrorists but the BBC feels a need to parenthesis around the term. Also, in what way are they “suspected”???? We have dozens slaughtered, Al Shabab stating it has carried out the atrocity, yet the BBC seems unsure? Further, I heard an “expert” on the BBC inform us that is a moderate side to Al Shabab? Really?

It’s Monday so time for a new one of these!

Anyone see the labour fest on Marr this morning. We had Lady Tuscany as the warm up act before the great Leader himself appeared. No matter how ingratiating Marr was Miliband was so poor that it really was a delight.

Hi all. Can see that Friday’s thread is fuller than empty promises from Miliband, so here’s a new one for y’all!

I note that Religion of Peace enthusiasts have been so active in the past few days. Whether it was slaughtering 59 people in a shopping mall in Nairobi, or mowing down dozens of Christians leaving a church in Pakistan, or blowing to pieces other Muslims attending a funeral  in Baghdad, the ROP has not left an opportunity to slaughter. Wonder what you reckon to BBC coverage of these acts of Jihad? I noted that they used the word “attackers” to describe the al-Shabaab Jihad boys last night.

Well then, great hatchet job by the BBC on UKIP today, contrasting nicely with their slabbering sycophantic coverage of Clegg and the gang. I caught the BBC 5 live afternoon coverage…the MOST important story in the world for several hours and a great way to ensure UKIP are damaged.  Bloom may not be coming up roses for UKIP but the reaction from the MSM in general, and BBC in particular, has been gleeful.

Wonder what you make of the BBC coverage of the gathering of the Libdems in Scotland this past few days? It struck me as being remarkably sympathetic to Clegg and the gang. I suspect Cameron will NOT be getting such benign coverage!

Here you go. This is a Selfridges approved Vince Cable endorsed open thread for your attention.

Wonder what you make of the BBC’s coverage of Aaron Alexis’s rampage at the Washington DC Dockyard? They seemed awfully excited when the initial news seemed that it was a WHITE shooter but now the jury is in we must ponder if Obama thinks that Alexis “could have been me.:”

Here you go, a new Monday thread to complete.
