THOSE IRA TAPES

9 Comments

More BBC double standards. They ran an item this morning concerning whether tape recorded confessions of IRA terrorists made at Boston College in the States should be handed over to the Police. There is information in these recordings which allegedly nails Provo boss Gerry Adams so you can imagine the “sensitivity”. The BBC brought on two people to discuss this. One was quangocrat Baroness O’Loan (pro IRA appeasement) and journalist Barney Rowan (pro IRA appeasement). For some reason, they decided NOT to invite someone who was a VICTIM of IRA barbarism. Nicely loaded. All points of view except those who suffered at the hands of the IRA.

IS IT COS I AIN’T WHITE?

In the BBC world, the murder of Stephen Lawrence may well have been the most important killing in the last one hundred years since it “proved” all that “institutional racism” that they lie in bed dreaming about each night.This morning, we were treated to the wisdom of Stephen Lawrence’s best friend Duwayne Brooks – “a man whose life since has been defined by what happened that evening. He was the only witness to the murder.” I was amazed at the introduction by Montague’s in which she states that Brooks has been interviewed by Police on many occasions but was innocent “on most of them”? WHAT? Duwayne was presented as the proverbial victim but he is now a Lib-Dem Councillor and thus a conduit of al that is good. Listen to the interview if you dare and make sure you have a bucket handy.

ADVANCING THE NARRATIVE

I did a recorded interview on BBC5 live last night concerning the issue of Conservative plans to potentially imprison bankers who take what is deemed “excessive risk”. I was more than happy to debate the Conservative MP Matthew Hancock but what irritated me was Stephen Nolan’s dismissal of my suggestion that politicians who create “systemic damage” to our economy be subject to criminal prosecution. That was deemed “unserious”yet creating legislation that criminalises risk-taking in part of the Financial sector is considered serious? That said, I got my say so am not complaining, just pointing out that the Presenter was taking an editorial line that seems in line with the “hang the bankers” meme.

Then, this morning, I had been invited onto Nolan’s BBC NI programme to cover same topic. The item was bumped so I didn’t make it on but I wanted to explain WHY the item was bumped. Last night, Nolan did an interview with a lady suffering from Tourettes. This was in the context of David Cameron’s remark about Ed Balls. Naturally, the Tourettes lady attacked Cameron and it was a nice little character assassination job BUT I cannot find evidence of the BBC affording Abbott’s “divide and rule” tweet the same detailed analysed. This item was then run AGAIN on BBC NI and lots of people phoned in to say how awful Cameron was. I have no time for David Cameron but I though that this was little more than Nolan whipping up mob frenzy against Cameron, and all under the pretext of “caring” about Tourettes.

I am pleased to see that the awful Billy Bragg image thingy has now gone, thanks to our dear friend, All Seeing Eye. Recorded an interview on 5live – things have come to a pretty pass when I have to attack a Conservative MP Matthew Hancock for his plans to imprison bankers. It goes out later, I think,

FLIGHT OF FANCY…

B-BBC contributor Alan observes…

“The caring broadcaster that is Victoria Derbyshire who gives a voice to the disaffected of Britain, whether Muslim extremists, student protesters or rioting, house burning, thieving chavs, is so dedicated to getting those voices heard that she commutes from her London home to Salford, Manchester (most days).

How does she do that? By flying. The woman who castigates bankers and irresponsible capitalism ‘jets’ to work most days like any highly paid executive. Not paid for by the BBC….well yes the ticket is paid for by her, but from her BBC salary, paid from our license money….or as she might put it ‘the public’s money’.

‘….raised eyebrows at her flying to Manchester each day to do the show, although this is not paid for by the BBC.’

EXECUTIVE PAY

By | |
37 Comments

It’s a recurrent BBC meme – “executives” are getting paid far too much and something must be done about it. (Cue Red Flag playing gently in background, comrades) True to form is this report which leads BBC news today…

David Cameron has promised shareholders a binding vote on executive pay, in an effort to deal with excessive salaries. The prime minister told the BBC there had been a “market failure”, with some bosses getting huge rises despite firms not improving their performances. He also pledged to tackle large payouts for executives dismissed because of poor performance.

The BBC then goes on to use the IPPR and the High Pay Commission as authoritative sources for demanding that “something” be done. Both these bodies are virulently left wing, as you can see here and here.    
I’ll be on the BBC tomorrow (Nolan Show) to discuss this issue but my summary position is as follows;
1. I object to the State interfering in private business. It is none of the business of Government to instruct companies how much they should pay.
2. I also object to crony Capitalism, the enemy of the free market. But the sins of a few FTSE Top 100 financial companies are being manipulated by some to curtail private enterprise.
3. With State Sector workers earning more than those in the Private sector that funds them, I’m surprised the Prime Minister is not looking to curtail the excesses of that sector. For example, is a BBC presenter worth a salary package worth hundreds of time more than the man or woman who makes the tea in the BBC canteen?
4. Not all FTSE companies reward failure. Indeed if they did they would not remain top 100. I wanted to see large Banks that made poor decisions FAIL, but it was a left wing Labour Government which bailed them out. Now this is used as a form of moral blackmail over every other business in the UK and that too is wrong.
5. Is David Cameron going to pick up the bill for re-writing every employment contract in the UK so that severance terms are to his satisfaction? 
Any other thoughts you want to share on this topic?

BLACK IS BLACK

The BBC obsesses about race whilst most of us just happily get on with our lives treating individuals as we find them, disinterested in such group collectivism. Biased BBC Contributor Alan notes;

Black is a Country’

‘….exploring the extraordinary underground music generated by the Black Power movement of the late Sixties and early Seventies: radical, beautiful and rare.
Black music as a whole became far more vocal in its opposition to white mainstream society. Meanwhile Africa became as a powerful symbol for a younger generation of black American artists, a source of political identification, spiritual sustenance and often exotic, musical inspiration.’

A coincidence surely and not conspiracy by a left over Marxist revolutionary at the BBC romanticising the Black Power movement and hoping for a similar Black revolutionary movement to spring up here….but you have to question the BBC’s timing on broadcasting this programme right after the convictions of Stephen Lawrence’s killers.

It is a good programme without doubt but it is unquestionably crafted not merely to inform but also to excite and incite….any disaffected black youth listening to the sensual tones of the narrator overlaid with the almost poetic rants of the radicals and all uplifted by rousing rebellious music would certainly be drawn into the romantic image and then the ideology underlying that ‘image’…..are they intending to turn ‘Black is a Country’ into a rallying call?

Nonsense….just me going off the deep end. Or is it? When a Black MP plays the race card and is clearly intent on separating out Black people from society as a whole…..although who is ‘Black’ is clearly contentious…..the tweets reveal some are not ‘black’ enough….

This from Pounce two days ago in the OT. It received 29 ‘likes’. You’ll see why.

“At the end I link to pieces from the Telegraph, Independent, the Jerusalem Post and Wiki. You decide if there are grounds for BBC Online being investigated by the anti-terrorist squad for promoting terrorist propaganda. To me, there is a clear and intentional ‘import’ to the way BBC Online decided to cover the story:-

Pounce OT 2 days ago, 21:15:42 (amended version)

How the BBC rewrites the facts in which to justify Islamic terrorism.
Jet bomb plotter Nezar Hindawi loses parole bid

A terrorist jailed for 45 years for plotting to blow up an Israeli airliner has lost a legal battle to secure his release, the BBC understands The Parole Board rejected Jordanian Nezar Hindawi’s bid for early release, despite previously recommending it. Hindawi, 57, planted a bomb in his unwitting pregnant fiancee’s hand luggage on a flight from London Heathrow to Tel Aviv in 1986. The device could have killed 375 people had security staff not found it….. Hindawi was jailed for hiding Semtex explosive in the luggage of his pregnant fiancée, Irishwoman Anne-Marie Murphy, then 32, without her knowledge. He was from a wealthy Palestinian family whose village was burned in the Israeli-Arab war of 1967, when he was 12. After his family became refugees in Jordan, he joined the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), became a writer and travelled to London. (Where else? DV) 

So the BBC reports on how a Palestinian was jailed for hiding semtex inside his fiancee’s hand luggage and did so because his village had been burnt down during Israeli-Arab war in 1967. Really?

Here is what the BBC doesn’t tell you in their the Jews can only be evil article:

Nizar Nawwaf al-Mansur al-Hindawi (his first name is also spelled Nezar) is a Jordanian of Palestinian origins. Born in 1954 in Baqura, a village near the east side of the Jordan River, he worked as a journalist in Amman. Although he is from a prominent establishment family (two uncles had held cabinet posts), Nizar’s extreme anti-Hashemite views and his founding membership in a shadowy organization, the Jordanian Revolutionary Movement for National Salvation, got him in trouble at home.

Hang on, the BBC tell me he is a Palestinian whose village got burnt down in 1967. Yet and a big yet, they fail to point out he was born in Jordan in a Jordan village (Now part of the city of Irbid) and that he left Jordan after he took up Islamic terrorism as a hobby. He fled his home country and set up shop in..London where he was recruited by Syrian Intelligence, which is why after he planned the bomb he went and hid in their embassy and which is why the Brits closed down the Syrian embassy and broke diplomatic relations with Syria after the very sophisticated bomb was found to have been constructed inside the Syrian embassy. (It had passed 2 X-rays and was only found during a hand search when El Al security became suspicious of the weight of the calculator. (3Ibs of plastic explosive inside a pocket calculator)

Yet the BBC cannot allow the public to know the full story, instead they weave a sob story about how this poor man’s village was burnt down during the Six Day War and this was his attempt at revenge. Nothing about how his victim when she found out she was pregnant was told to abort, then when his Syrian handlers found out , they got him to use her as a patsy in which to carry a bomb aboard an Israeli aircraft which according to the BBC could have killed 375 people. No, you Islamist shills, it would have murdered 375 innocent people. But hey what’s the truth to the propaganda arm of Islamic terrorism.

ABBOTT BACK, BUT WHERE IS THE BBC?

For a “world-class” broadcaster that costs us BILLIONS, the BBC seem ever so slow when it comes to picking up stories concerning Diane Abbott;

Ms Abbott has also provoked outrage from cabbies with another tweet. “Dubious of black people claiming they’ve never experienced racism,” she wrote from her iPhone on Tuesday. “Ever tried hailing a taxi I always wonder?” Steve McNamara, a spokesman for the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said: “This is a typically silly comment by Diane Abbott and deeply unfair. The modern generation of taxi drivers is as diverse as London itself and most of the knowledge schools now have prayer rooms.

 Dubious of black people claiming they’ve never experienced racism. Ever tried hailing a taxi I always wonder?

19th century taxis? I am sure the BBC will vigorously pursue this. Yes?
